Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded

The water bottle in Shen Bei's hand is not big, it is a standard 500ml mineral water bottle.

A single bottle of water requires five crystal source cores.

With such prices, how do humans survive in this world...

Shen Bei naturally knows that water is hard to come by.

In this world, almost all groundwater and surface water are polluted.

If humans want to obtain water, they must rely on "Titans"

This giant creature often stops crawling forward, opens its huge mouth, stretches out a rotating hollow meat tube, and drills into the ground.

The groundwater is pumped out, and the polluted water source is filtered through a special internal filtering organ, and stored in the stomach band to provide the water source protection needed for one's own life.

Humans, on the other hand, will create a channel in the Titan's body, leading directly to the stomach, to extract clean water for drinking.

Although it was quite strenuous, the water source was still enough to consume up and down Shelter 36.

At this time, the store owner explained: "Titan has not stopped to collect water for nearly two months. Things are scarce and the price of water has naturally increased."

The boss placed a bottle of clean water on the counter: "Thank you for your patronage."

Shen Bei shrugged and handed over five crystal source cores.

Leave the water shop.

Shen Bei carefully put the water bottle away.

Walking through the mobile homes according to the memory of the original owner.

Arrive at an apartment.

The apartment floor is not high, it can be compared to a third floor.

A small room in the corner of the third floor is his residence.

"Back?"

The landlord was a greasy middle-aged man with a bloated figure who was chewing on the bones of an unknown ferocious beast.

Yellowed teeth bit into the half-cooked flesh and blood: "How was the harvest this time?"

Shen Bei's face was calm: "I'm all in trouble."

"That's what this fucking world is."

The landlord wiped his hands and continued: "Yesterday we were drinking and chatting, but today we are dead."

Shen Bei nodded, turned around and walked upstairs.

The landlord's huge head poked out: "Why are you pretending to be confused?"

Shen Bei stopped, turned around slowly, and asked in confusion: "What?"

"It's time to pay the rent!"

Only then did Shen Bei remember that the original owner went out on an adventure to hunt ferocious beasts this time in order to obtain the core of the crystal source to pay the rent.

He counted 20 crystal source cores and handed them to the landlord.

The landlord had a big smile on his face and waved his hand: "The harvest is not bad. I thought you would have to go out a few times to collect the rent. Come on up."

Shen Bei smiled slightly and continued to go upstairs.

Judging from the memory of the original owner, the landlord used to be a person with supernatural powers.

It was really beautiful for a while.

Later, during a fight with a ferocious beast, he was struck by the "miasma of divine punishment".

As a result, the superpower is sealed and he becomes an ordinary person.

Fortunately, I made a lot of Jingyuan cores, bought four pairs of wheels, built a three-story apartment, and worked as a rent collector, and my life was pretty good.

The so-called "miasma of divine punishment" is a kind of gas that appears irregularly and at any time and anywhere.

Once a superpower user is contaminated with this gas, no matter how powerful the superpower user is, his superpower will be directly sealed and cannot be broken, and he will inevitably become an ordinary person.

Human beings in this world believe that this is a punishment from God for those with supernatural powers to spy on the energy of heaven and earth.

It’s called the “miasma of divine punishment.”

…

Shen Bei opened the door of his residence.

There's not much space inside.

A bed takes up almost 80℅ of space.

The room was reasonably clean.

It's just that the bedding is a little stuffy...

Black and shiny.

Water resources in this world are hard to come by, especially drinking water.

Even the luxurious upper class are rarely willing to bathe in pure water.

It is generally a secondary water source filtered using purification equipment.

This water source contains a certain amount of radiation, and your body will feel numb after washing.

Although it's fine once it's firm.

But it's not as comfortable as taking a bath at all. It's more like taking a bath under an electrified stream of water.

Therefore, most humans seldom bathe, so their bodies are naturally extremely dirty.

Shen Bei pulled out all the few drawers in the room.

They are all items of little value.

But inside a packaging bag, there is a photo.

The front of the photo shows a little boy and a little girl.

Not very old, about five years old.

There is a delicate font written on the back, which seems to be written by a woman.

"In the 67th year of the New Calendar, my sister Shen Nan followed me to Sanctuary No. 7 - the Crimson Queen, with her own handwriting."

"Sister, Crimson Queen?"

Shen Bei was stunned.

This part of the memory was not inherited at all.

If I hadn't looked through the drawers, I wouldn't have known there was such a thing.

"The name Crimson Queen... seems very powerful."

Shen Bei pursed his lips.

Let’s put this past incident aside for now.

With Shen Bei's current ability, he doesn't have the ability to find where Shelter No. 7 is.

Then grabbing the alarm clock on the table, Shen Bei tilted his head and his eyes lit up.

[Alarm clock LV1: 0/5]

[The internal parts are damaged and the time is inaccurate. The alarm is damaged and cannot tell the time. 】

Shen Bei flew with his hands and quickly disassembled the alarm clock into hundreds of fragmentary parts.

Then put it back together.

[Alarm clock LV1: 100/5]

"upgrade!"

[Alarm clock LV2: 95/10]

"upgrade!"

…

[Alarm clock LV5: 0/100]

[The alarm clock is intact, accurately tells time, has a crisp ringtone, is of excellent quality, and will almost never be damaged by external forces. If 10 crystal source cores are installed, it can be used as a detonator. 】

"Huh? Time bomb?"

Shen Bei was stunned.

Unexpectedly, the little alarm clock turned into a detonator after some upgrades!

You must know that the core of the crystal source is essentially a kind of energy.

It was just absorbed by the superpower.

And now, through the action of the alarm clock, this energy can be detonated!

"What a surprise."

Shen Bei held the alarm clock and grinned: "I thought only guns could be upgraded, but looking at it now, it seems that everyone's mechanical objects can be upgraded."

"If there's a Gundam or a battle armor or something..."

"Hi~~ I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it!"

Shen Bei's mind immediately started to stir.

At present, the lower-level premises where Shenbei is located does not have the conditions for production machinery.

On the upper level, that is, on the back of Titan, there is also a processing place for the production of weapons and machinery.

Take a break.

Shen Bei really couldn't help it.

I want to try my luck and see if I can try to make a mecha to increase its combat effectiveness.

This is closely related to your own plug-in.

Go out.

Walk forward along the removable wooden planks in the middle of the house.

On the way, Shen Bei also bought a piece of clay powder cake.

It is a mixture of fine soil and flour.

Really, the taste of nature.

It tastes gritty, a bit like chewing old tree bark.

But this is the main food for ordinary humans.

Shen Bei slowly adapted to the tasteless food.

soon.

Shen Bei came to the stairs.

This is the only way to the Titan's back.

There are two login methods.

One is to walk up.

Another option is to take the elevator.

Elevators are generally used to transport materials, and the power source comes from an electrical power user.

But I saw him holding the wire with both hands, electric sparks bursting out from the palms of his hands, his face turning red, and controlling the current output.

The motor slowly rotates, lifting the elevator upward.

Shen Bei was released after being inspected by the guards and handed over ten pounds of rotten wolf meat strips.

It's a bit painful, mainly because Shen Bei didn't do the details well and should have divided the rotten wolf meat into smaller pieces.

Maybe handing over a pound would be enough.

Of course, residents of the upper shelter are allowed to enter and exit the shelter.

Just leave before sunset.

The guards are just taking advantage of their duties to make money.

Climb to the top.

Shen Bei's eyes lit up.
