Chapter 416: An encounter without firepower
Fire～～
Scorching fire.
The flames, mixed with the smell of burnt meat, had already reached Shen Bei, but Shen Bei remained indifferent.
According to Shen Bei's chaotic thoughts, this might be the last time he felt Bai Luo's warmth.
The wooden racks in front of him were stacked more than two meters high, with Bai Luo's peaceful body on the top.
Her muscles gradually contracted under the embrace of the flames, and her bones made crackling sounds.
On the other side, Mosaic was on the cremation pyre, running around Bai Luo.
He could feel that the person closest to him was gone and was about to be swallowed by the flames.
He turned his head and looked at Shen Bei.
Shen Bei waved his hand.
Mosaic crawled out of the fire and stood beside Shen Bei.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes."
After burning for nearly an hour.
As the last wisp of green smoke dissipated.
Shen Bei squatted down and took out a small shovel and a wooden box.
He picked up what looked like Bai Luo's ashes bit by bit.
"Mom~~Mom~~" Mosaic called.
Shen Bei didn't know how Mosaic had grown up and what his IQ was.
He didn't know if he could understand the concept of death.
"Don't shout, she can't hear you."
Mosaic tilted his head and stopped making any sound.
Shen Bei put away the wooden box, and Tiangong projected a super-dimensional beam of light to suck the urn away.
Shen Bei took a last look at the fire, sighed heavily, and waved: "Shen Zhiyi, I'm gone."
Mosaic pointed at himself.
Shen Bei nodded affirmatively.
Mosaic cheered happily and followed Shen Bei's steps in a rolling posture.
Shen Bei was not mentally prepared for the sudden appearance of the "child".
When ordinary people encounter such a situation, they either escape or collapse.
But Shen Bei remained calm no matter what he did, or he didn't mess around.
Although Shen Bei, the soul, believed that children should be human beings, babies with flesh and blood.
But the original owner's body structure gave birth to such a thing.
What else can be done?
You can only take it with you.
Shen Bei also thought about a question.
From the perspective of consciousness, is this his own child?
The consciousness belongs to Shen Bei himself.
From the perspective of the body, the child is the original owner's?
But Shang Bai Luo's instructions were conveyed by his own consciousness.
It's really... a mess.
However, at this point, thinking about this problem will not solve any problems.
Instead, it will lead to more ethical and philosophical issues.
...
About an hour later, Shen Bei's figure appeared on the ridge in the distance.
His visual mask began to magnify the field of view.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a large-scale city ruins.
This ruins has obviously experienced war, and various shells and collapsed buildings are everywhere.
And in the ruins, there are shadowy figures.
A small team of people is slowly moving through.
The enlarged field of view can clearly see the weathered faces, dirty beards, and white hair of the small team of humans in the ruins. Their cheeks were skinny due to lack of nutrition, their teeth were rotten, and they were wrapped in layers of rags like bandages.
Their eyes were dead silent, and they carried tattered bolt-action rifles on their backs. Only the occasional blink of an eye could prove that they were still alive.
It seemed that they came to pick up the shells and power armor wreckage left on the battlefield, and nimbly peeled off the skins of the small beasts that were surrounded and killed.
These things were not worth mentioning to Shen Bei, but they were a valuable asset to them.
The shells could be reloaded, and the power armor wreckage had excellent texture. After remelting, it could be used to forge weapons, and the hard scales could be used to sew leather armor after tanning.
Shen Bei could see that these old people should be marginal people in the nearby shelter.
The so-called "marginal people" was incomprehensible.
They were too old to participate in fierce battles, and their physical fitness could not keep up.
Other teams did not want to drag an old man down as a hindrance.
These old people can only form teams to kill small animals in the wilderness and pick up garbage to sustain their lives.
Shen Bei turned his head and glanced at Mosaic, who was lying on the ground and softened into mud.
According to Bai Luo, this is because he is hungry and needs to eat electronic components.
It is really... a strange way of eating.
Shen Bei originally wanted to produce electronic components for Tiangong.
But the fact is that he thought too much.
There is no problem with the equipment.
This requires a lot of raw materials, such as: substrate materials include FR4, CEM-1 and aluminum substrates.
Passive components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and active components such as transistors and integrated circuits.
Solder, solder paste and flux, etc.
Other auxiliary materials include insulating materials, heat dissipation materials and identification materials.
It sounds confusing.
If it were in the old days, Shen Bei could completely purchase these parts and make them by hand.
It's as simple as buying vegetables at the vegetable market and cooking them at home.
But the problem is...
Now it is a famine world, there are no such suppliers. If you want these components, you have to try your luck in the urban ruins, or go to the research institute to customize them.
Mosaic's hunger will not give Shen Bei too much time, and it is still far from Shelter No. 36.
He can only come to the urban ruins to find circuit boards.
Shen Bei grabbed Mosaic, and the foot thrusters sprayed flames, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The next moment.
Shen Bei slowly landed in front of this team of humans from a high altitude.
Faced with the sudden appearance, these people did not avoid it in panic, but calmly dealt with the remains of a powered armor.
They removed the loose armor plates, tied them up with hemp rope, and tied them to their backs.
It wasn't until Shen Bei got closer that he dropped the rifle on his back and raised his hands above his head.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm."
Shen Bei threw out the canned meat he had collected in the army and threw it to the leader.
It has to be said that this canned meat looks like it is newly made. It has been in the time loop and has no signs of corruption at all.
It can be said to be a rare resource in the wilderness.
But Shen Bei ate this stuff until he vomited in his previous life.
I would rather hunt for roasted meat than have any interest in canned meat.
But this thing is very lethal to other people.
The leader awkwardly opened the corner, put his fingers in, and squeezed out some meat juice. After taking a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up, he laughed, and he carefully put the canned meat into the bag.
The leader is the oldest of all the wanderers, and his face is covered with brown spots like rust caused by radiation dust.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Shen Bei said with a normal expression: "Open your bags and see if there is anything I need. Of course, I will pay."
Upon hearing this, several people opened it immediately without hesitation.
Not to mention the gleaming armor on Shen Bei's body, the Barrett on his back and the crude revolver.
Just look at the mosaic-like things around him.
At the same time, there is a child who looks like a living dead.
With this configuration, just say it’s scary or not!
Of course, the most important thing is that the person in front of me looks like a wealthy businessman!
At this time, Shen Bei pinched his nose and inspected these people's bags. Their bags were so stinky that flies buzzed out as soon as they were opened. They were filled with all kinds of weird things. Half a mouse corpse, the head of a ferocious beast, and the skin of a wild wolf that had been stripped off.
"Which shelter are you from?"
Seeing that the leader was reluctant to eat canned meat, Shen Bei gave him another cigarette.
"Shelter No. 15." The leader answered truthfully.
The leader took a cigarette in his mouth, took a puff and blew out a smoke ring, enjoying himself very much.
Shen Bei has never been exposed to Shelter 15.
Shen Bei raised his head and said in a neither salty nor bland voice:
"I need fresh water supplies now, and circuit boards. I'm only here for one day."
Then, Shen Bei took out the canned meat again and weighed it: "I still have this, you can do whatever you want."
The leader and others' eyes suddenly lit up!
