Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded.

Running at full speed.

Shen Bei maintained a speed of 60 miles per hour and turned back.

After a few minutes.

Shen Bei jumped into the ravine and looked up towards the red forest.

Niu Ben was still lying on the ground motionless, eight hundred meters away from the ravine.

Shen Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

His plan was successful and no one noticed Niu Ben.

Shen Bei grabbed a stone and threw it hard, hitting Niu Niuben right on the head.

This distance is extremely far. If Shen Bei simply relies on his own strength to throw it, he will definitely not be able to cover this distance.

But with the power of armor, it is a completely different story.

The ox was startled as if it had been electrocuted.

Fortunately, he didn't scream, but raised his head and looked around.

When Niu Ben saw Shen Bei appear in the ravine in front of him, his face was full of question marks.

But the puzzled expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by joy.

It's easy to guess that there was a burst of gunfire from the southwest.

The fact that Shen Bei appeared in front of him meant that he had shaken off his pursuers.

He was just about to stand up and run.

But from a distance, I saw Shen Bei pressing his hands.

Niu Ben's mouth twitched, but he continued to crawl forward.

He was a little angry.

Just don't let me stand up and run.

They all come here to give me a hand.

I'm so tired.

And Shen Bei naturally would not show up to pull Niu Niuben.

Once an abnormal situation occurs, your current position is the best distance to protect Niu Niu Ben.

Or...give up the distance where Niu Ben turns around and runs away.

Shen Bei is not a stubborn person.

In this famine-stricken world, there are too many powerful enemies.

If you don't have awe for people with special powers, you will eventually fall into the ditch and never be able to get up again.

Therefore, Shen Bei always maintained a pulling tactic during combat.

If you can attack by surprise, never fight head-on.

You can take a walk and never let the enemy get close.

Only by learning from each other's strengths and overcoming each other's weaknesses, proceeding step by step, and having enough patience can we build advantages.

It took quite a while, and Niu Ben's palms were bleeding and he was exhausted, so he rolled into the ditch.

"Rest for three minutes, then we'll set off right away."

Shen Bei took out disinfectant and bandages from his backpack, cleaned Niu Ben's palms, and bandaged them.

Sweat rolled down Niu Ben's face as he gasped for breath. "No, no car?"

"Yes, but he has become our scapegoat."

Shen Bei's simple words left Niu Ben speechless.

Three minutes later.

Shen Bei carried Niu Niuben by the shoulders and started circling in the 11 o'clock direction.

According to Rock's deployment, Team A will return in the northeast direction.

Now Shenbei's direction is away from the northeast.

That is, circle around Team A.

This is also to prevent encountering the Shelter No. 1 team and avoid unnecessary trouble.

If he is lucky, Shen Bei will most likely meet Team A after going around in circles.

That would be much better.

You can take the bus back.

It's understandable that you won't meet him, so just walk back.

Five hundred kilometers, very far.

But in his previous life, Shen Bei, as a mercenary, had traveled across Africa on foot.

This distance is no problem at all.

But there are also tests: whether a bull can keep up.

The other is the ferocious beasts along the way.

Jogging for half an hour.

Shen Bei took Niu Ben out of the ravine and officially entered the vast wilderness.

The sky was a chaotic gray haze. The sunlight that shone through the thick clouds seemed dim and weak, like an old gold coin that had lost its luster due to the wear and tear of time, and could only cast a few weak rays of light on the broken horizon.

Shen Bei looked around.

As far as the eye can see, the barren land stretches endlessly.

In the distance, the remains of former buildings lie scattered on the ground like the skeletons of giant beasts. The once prosperous city is now left with only broken walls and weathered concrete pillars.

Farther away, huge sand dunes rise and fall like sleeping giants, covered with a thin layer of yellow sand. Sometimes they are blown up by the wind, swirling and rolling in the air, forming bursts of misty sand fog.

The outlines of those ancient mountains are still vaguely visible, but they have been eroded beyond recognition by time. Occasionally, mottled minerals are exposed in the fractures of the rocks, like scars.

Shen Bei stopped and connected the firepower flying disc infinitely, letting it stay in place. After he left it one kilometer away, he began to follow it at a constant speed.

Shen Bei doesn't need a fire disc to explore the way.

You can look ahead and observe situations that may arise at any time.

But he didn't have eyes behind him, so the situation behind him had to be monitored by the cluster fire flying disc.

At this moment, Shen Bei heard a rustling sound coming from behind.

Looking back, I saw Niu Ben tearing open a piece of plastic, pouring out a piece of candy and putting it in his mouth.

Then throw the plastic wrapper on the ground.

"Would you like one?" Niu Ben asked.

Shen Bei shook his head: "If you have a lot of candy, it's okay to eat some now, but if there is only one left, I advise you to spit it out. When you are completely exhausted, this candy can save your life."

Niu Ben opened his mouth slightly, spit out the candy quickly, put it into the plastic wrapper and kept it in his pocket.

"Also," Shen Bei walked ahead and continued, "Don't throw any garbage. I'm not talking about environmental issues. Garbage is a guide for the enemy."

Niu Ben said "oh" and nodded.

About an hour later.

It started to drizzle.

This kind of rain is no problem for Shen Bei.

But Niu Niuben had a more difficult time.

The raindrops carried a slight radiation and when they fell on my body, I felt a strange sensation, as if my whole body was covered with thousands of mosquito bites.

Niu Niuben felt very uncomfortable.

It's okay in the short term, but it's hard to say in the long term.

The cold raindrops, like a woman's tears that have lost their temperature, kept falling on Niu Niuben's body, making him scratch constantly.

Shen Bei didn't force his way forward, but pointed to the right: "There's a big rock there where we can take shelter from the rain. Let's go over there."

The sky is high and the earth is vast, with dark clouds stretching endlessly.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the moisture contained in it was like countless thin whips as thin as needles and threads, lashing Niu Niuben's skin, causing an indescribable pain and itchiness, making people feel indescribably uncomfortable.

He ran very actively.

After a while, we arrived under the big rock. The rock was very wide and straight on all sides.

Slightly tilted downward.

There is no natural shelter from the rain.

"This...can't shelter us from the rain." Niu Ben asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Shen Bei pulled Niu Ben to the big rock and came to the upper side of the inclined angle of the rock.

Take out the engineer shovel.

With the help of the powerful kinetic energy of the armor, a pit was dug under the boulder without any points.

“Jump in.”

After the two of them entered, although the space was not big and they could only curl up their legs, it was enough to shelter them from the wind and rain.

The choice of the digging location in Shenbei is also very particular.

It's on the upper side of the boulder's tilt, not the lower side.

This is because Shen Bei was afraid that digging a hole on the lower side would change the bearing angle of the boulder. Coupled with the erosion of rain, the boulder would lose balance, which would be no fun.

Both of them were crushed to death on the spot.

At this time, Niu Ben breathed a sigh of relief, began to take off his clothes, and wrung out the water stains.

Shen Bei inserted the crystal source core into the sniper rifle slot.

Switch the shooting mode to flamethrower mode.

Controls the flame output of the flamethrower.

A ball of flame danced slowly.

"flamethrower?"

Niu Ben held up his wet clothes to dry, his eyes fixed on the sniper rifle. "This modification is quite interesting. Such a small component can also spit fire. It seems that Shelter 36 has quite good technology."

Shen Bei leaned against the wall of the pit and asked curiously, "You also understand mechanics?"

"No, I'm not a professional mechanical researcher, but once you accumulate a certain level of knowledge, it's easy to cross disciplines."

Shen Bei said "Oh" and really wanted to say, you know nothing.

The next moment, Shen Bei followed up the topic and said, "Tell me about your research. What is the secondary awakening potion?"

Speaking of this, Niu Ben became excited.

This is also the important reason why he can be poached.

Niu Ben talked incessantly, blurting out a lot of professional terms, as if Shen Bei was a test from You Wuchang.

"Yes, it's a potion that can make the first awakening fail and then allow for a second awakening!"

"This is Shelter No. 1's most top-secret location, a high-tech product meticulously crafted by our research institute after countless days and nights of research and experimentation. This potion can stimulate the body's inherent potential, achieving an unprecedented second awakening and granting the user power beyond the limits of ordinary life."

"The core structure of the drug is based on an ultra-microscopic substance called 'Quantum Genetic Polymer'."

"From what we can tell, this thing can only be found in the blood of ferocious beasts at the level of Wild God."

"But purifying it requires a lot of equipment and methods, such as..."

Various nouns came out of Niu Ben's mouth, making Shen Bei drowsy.

"...After purification, this substance can profoundly reshape the genetic chains within an organism. Each drop of regenerative agent contains dense nanocapsules, encapsulating encoded biological intelligence sequences. These sequences are released the moment they come into contact with human cell membranes and precisely dock with target DNA molecules, inducing the activation and mutation of specific gene clusters."

"Simulate the first awakening, induce the second awakening, and open the power tree. This is the special function of the potion. Isn't it amazing?"

Shen Bei couldn't understand the long list of professional terms.

But I probably understand.

To put it simply, this drug can simulate the environment of the first awakening and trick cells into awakening a second time.

The truth is that simple.

As for the preparation process of this potion, it must be quite complicated.

Otherwise, Chen Anzhi would have studied for several days without any clue, forcing You Wuchang to activate the secret line and contact Niu Ben to poach him.

"How about it, are you interested?" Niu Ben rubbed his hands and said, "When I succeed in making the medicine, I can give it to you first, so that you can also become a superpower."

Shen Bei opened his mouth and yawned: "The mortality rate is too high. I am very satisfied with my situation now. I don't need it."

"That's a shame, I tell you—"

Before Niu Ben finished speaking, Shen Bei interrupted him and said with a smile:

"If I were you, I wouldn't reveal all my cards. Once you've explained the entire process in detail, you'll no longer be of any use to me."

"If I were your colleague, this would totally blow your head off."

"Remember, don't be too naive. If you just answer whatever others ask you, you're courting death. The old cat teaches the tiger how to pounce on its prey, and it also leaves one trick for how to climb a tree."

Niu Ben's eyes suddenly widened, he covered his mouth, and nodded heavily: "Thank you, thank you for the reminder!"

Shen Bei smiled lightly and closed his eyes: "Take this time to rest, we still have a long way to go."

……

Two hours later.

The rain stopped.

The two men crawled out of the pit.

Shen Bei simply dealt with it by burying it with sand and stones.

Stepping on the stones, he continued to move forward with Niu Niuben.
