Chapter 123 Different perspectives give different meanings to items

Shen Bei listened to what Luo Ke said on the road.

The so-called little K encountered some troubles.

At first, Shen Bei thought that this little guy was beaten violently by someone else or suffered minor injuries from a bump.

But Rock guessed that it might be an awakening, accompanied by symptoms, and the situation was not good.

Looking at it now, what Rock said was true.

High fever, sweating, cold body, trembling, purple lips, pale face...

It could have been saved in the old days.

But in this world of escape, it seems that fate has come.

Especially now it's still winter.

Be aware that a sign of awakening is a fever that resists the effects of any medication.

Taking medicine at this time has no effect at all.

Generally speaking, even if you wake up, you will have already woken up within a few days.

According to Shen Bei's judgment, the cold wind may have interfered with the awakening process, causing Little K to become unconscious.

There is nothing anyone can do about it.

Thinking at the best, Little K might wake up and miss the opportunity to awaken his superpower.

Looking at the worst, there is a high probability that Little K will die.

In this world, newborns may still evoke a glance from humans, but once they grow up, they are worthless.

Whose son will die or not?

Therefore, as Rock said, even if Little K dies, no one will cry for him.

The final outcome is to be thrown out of the shelter and become an ice corpse in the wind and snow.

But Shen Bei barely hesitated and shocked Roark as soon as he made a move.

Take a syringe of the second awakening potion,

Rock's heart is complicated.

Needless to say, where did the second awakening potion come from? Shen Bei couldn't possibly rob Shelter 1. He didn't have the ability.

Then, it can only be given by Niu Dunben.

This is an item that cannot be valued.

Although there is a half chance of death, there is no difference between living and dead for ordinary people in the lower levels of the shelter.

A lot of people are willing to give it a try and try to get rich.

Even if they can't afford the money.

And some of the children in the upper class who are protected by the powerful are naturally willing to take risks.

Therefore, the value of this potion is hundreds of times more valuable than little K’s life.

Rock's mind is messed up.

You said that Shen Bei has a kind heart, but that's not necessarily true.

A half chance of death may be the last straw for little K.

You said he is cold-blooded, but the second awakening potion can also deepen the awakening environment and help Little K awaken.

This is even harder to solve than the trolley problem.

But Rock had one idea.

Little K, not worth the money.

…

living room.

Shen Bei lit the fireplace.

Inside the fireplace, sections of discarded wood with hard texture and clear texture were thrown into it. They seemed to be given new life under the licking of the flames.

The flame slowly penetrated into the texture of the wood, making a crackling sound.

The fire grew stronger, and the golden flames in the center of the wood spilled over the fireplace, giving the entire room a warm orange-red hue.

The heat from the fireplace surged like a tide, forcing the cold air out of the room bit by bit.

The warmth rising from the soles of the feet was like the heat of spring, slowly climbing up Shen Bei's legs, spreading along the spine and throughout the body, until every hair tip was filled with comfortable warmth.

Shen Bei carried the paper box, took out the scrap metal inside, placed it on the ground, and carefully spliced ​​it together.

"I said..."

Rock walked out of Little K's room with an incomprehensible tone: "Aren't you worried about Little K?"

"When you say this..." Shen Bei paused here, put a piece of fragment in his hand on the breastplate, as if piecing together a puzzle picture, breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and continued. said:

"You are already a qualified father, and you are the kind of father who doesn't need to listen to his wife's nagging, which makes her ears hurt."

Luo Ke sat cross-legged in front of Shen Bei and held down the jigsaw puzzle in his hand: "This kind of corny joke will become boring if you keep telling it a few times. What I want to say is, you are too cruel!"

"If you are not ruthless, you cannot stand firm."

"The price/performance ratio is not high. If I were you, this tube of secondary awakening potion would be worth at least 100 crystal source cores."

Shen Bei slowly raised his head and grinned: "So, you are not me, and I am not you. The value in your eyes is worthless in my eyes."

"Should I label you rampant?"

"I never live for others, any label is useless to me." Shen Bei picked up the fragments and continued to splice: "Of course, if you put the handsome label on me, I will thank you. If you say I am ugly , I will beat you to the ground."

Rock's face twisted and he stared at him unblinkingly: "You are such a weirdo!"

"No." Shen Bei said seriously: "I am a normal person, but you are too twisted."

Rock was stunned for a moment and laughed silently.

Shen Bei continued to piece together the fragments and said again: "Also, the second awakening potion may be valuable, but it will never be prohibitive. This is why You Wuchang paid such a high price to bring it back. "

"If you have the core things in your own hands, you won't be blackmailed by Shelter No. 1."

"Niudanben's mission is to bring down the price."

After Shen Bei said this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The more you laugh, the louder the laughter becomes.

Even drowning out the roar of the wind outside.

In Rock's eyes, Shen Bei seemed to have a sudden mental illness.

"What are you laughing at?"

Rock moved his butt and took two steps back, looking like he was on guard against a mad dog.

Shen Bei stopped laughing and waved his hand: "Nothing, I just thought of those kind-hearted people, bargained down the price, and bought a Mercedes-Benz G."

"Mercedes-Benz G?" Rock touched his chin: "What a long-standing car name."

After a while.

Shen Bei finished assembling all the armor and stood up: "I'm going out for a while."

"Where to?"

"Institute, borrow a welding machine."

"Tweak these broken things?" Rock pointed at the fragments on the ground.

Shen Bei put on his coat and said with a smile: "If one day, let me choose between you and the armor, who do you think I would choose?"

Rock rolled his eyes: "If I were a coquettish woman who could play ice and fire, the answer would be natural."

"That would be the ultimate pleasure." Shen Bei said inexplicably.

...

The two walked out of the RV.

Shen Bei glanced into the distance.

The blizzard was sweeping in with an unrestrained attitude. The sky was covered with dark clouds, like the prelude to the Last Judgment, rolling down to the earth.

The snowflakes were no longer pure white, but mixed with dust and weathered debris.

In the wind and snow, the outline of the former urban ruins was looming, and the dilapidated buildings looked even more desolate and dilapidated under the invasion of wind and snow.

The tires of the entire RV army rolled over the ground, squeaked in the wind and snow.

"Are you also in charge of the collective mission in the north?"

Shen Bei asked curiously.

Rock shrugged: "It's not clear yet, after all, the members of other shelters have not arrived yet, and it depends on You Wuchang to make a decision."

"But it is highly likely that I will not be used."

Rock exhaled, and then said: "The performance of the last mission was not very good, and I don't know what to do in this gathering. It is estimated that You Wuchang will arrange it at the last minute."

Shen Bei nodded, but didn't say anything.

Finally, the two parted at the intersection.

You Wuchang was going to the Chihuo Bar, and Shen Bei was going to the upper research institute.

Not long after.

Shen Bei arrived at the entrance of the research institute.

There were relatively few people in the research institute today, and only a few researchers who were not presentable were listlessly slacking off.

As for people of this level like Chen Anzhi, they were called away by You Wuchang to accompany guests.

As for who the guests were, there was no need to say more.

A welcoming banquet must be held.

Moreover, it was Niu Ben who came back in fear all the way.

After Shen Bei entered the research institute, he really scared the researchers who were slacking off.

Especially when they saw Shen Bei's cloak.

That was You Wuchang's clothes, and for a moment they thought You Wuchang was back.

"What are you tinkering with?" Shen Bei asked, pointing to something on a researcher's desk.

The researcher stroked his heart: "Take off your cloak first, I feel pressured."

Shen Bei laughed a few times, took off his cloak, and hung it aside.

"Interested?"

The researcher said secretly: "It's a little toy I made myself."

Shen Bei grabbed it.

This is a small robot, and its shape is… an octopus spider?

That’s right, Shen Bei looked at it for a long time before finding a suitable metaphor.

“Ugly.” Shen Bei smacked his lips.

The researcher snorted and said philosophically: “In this world, there is only one thing that is beautiful, that is women. Other things are not beautiful or ugly.”

Listening to you, wasting a second.

Shen Bei said: “I want to borrow a welding machine.”

“Welding machine?” The researcher asked curiously: “Just bring whatever you want to weld. We don’t use public accounts. I will weld it for you privately. It’s cheap.”

Shen Bei naturally knew what he was thinking.

He wanted to make extra money with public things.

But Shen Bei didn’t want the armor to move in. The armor was the most rudimentary version when it was made. After several upgrades, nothing can be seen on the outside.

But there are still changes inside.

It’s easy to make associations.

Shen Bei also understood the ways of the world, and stuffed some crystal source cores into the researcher's pocket: "Look, you don't have to work, and you can make money."

The researcher laughed: "That's a deal, bring it back to me after you use it."

"It's useless for me to keep it."

"What kind of welding machine? There are ion welding machines, alloy reconstruction welding machines, zero-point energy welding guns, shaping welding machines, etc."

Shen Bei admitted that he was ignorant.

According to inertial thinking, I thought there would be argon arc welding, gas-filled welding, etc.

As a result, I have never heard of these welding machines.

"What is a zero-point energy welding gun?" Shen Bei asked casually.

The researcher began to show off his expertise: "There are many welding guns. You only need to know that there is almost no heat overflow during welding, which can protect the welded object from high temperature and achieve nearly non-destructive precision welding."

"Then this one."

The researcher patted the spider robot.

And Shen Bei was very surprised to find that this spider robot actually crawled to the toolbox along a specific track, took out the welding gun, put it on its back, and sent it over!

"Is this a toy?"

Shen Bei's eyes widened.

"That's right." The researcher said nonchalantly: "Hold a pen, pass a piece of paper or something, it's not very useful."

And Shen Bei's mouth twitched.

He found another way to use it.

If...

I mean, if this thing is tied with explosives...
