Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded.

Facing the questions raised by Shen Bei.

Lina didn't respond at first.

Her eyes were fixed on the potato pancakes in Xiao K's hand, and her focused look was like a cheetah aiming at its prey.

Reach out and grab it.

This scared little K.

Fighting over food is not uncommon in shelters where supplies are scarce.

But now we are in the RV, Shen Bei is here, and he still dares to steal things.

Little K was confused.

Little K's eyes widened, and he complained to Shen Bei with a feeling of grievance: "Why is this auntie like this? She's just like an ignorant three-year-old!"

Shen Bei smiled slightly: "Didn't you just learn the story of Kong Rong giving up his pears?"

Little K's body softened, and he muttered, "But that story is about humility between children..."

Shen Bei nodded lightly, and said meaningfully: "That's right."

Little K: ???

Seeing this, Song You wanted to intervene and tried to take the potato pancakes from Lina and return them to Xiao K, but Shen Bei gently held his hand and signaled him not to mind it.

“Forget it, we all know what Lina’s situation is, and it’s consistent with her current psychological age characteristics.”

Song You was embarrassed.

Lina finished her hash browns contentedly, smacking her lips and a look of childlike satisfaction on her face.

Shen Bei raised his question again.

Lina thought for a long time and shook her head: “I can’t say it, there are many things that cannot be described.”

Shen Bei also felt it was difficult for him, as a three-year-old child had a very limited vocabulary.

But Shen Bei took out a pen and paper: "Try to draw it."

Lina seemed to like this suggestion very much. She lay on the ground, raised her feet, and drew crookedly on the paper in a playful mood.

Little K, who was standing by, glanced at Lina's work and felt a strange sense of superiority. He whispered to Shen Bei, "Brother, I draw better than her. Why not let me try?"

"You are imagining things, she is describing the truth." Shen Bei's face darkened slightly, and his tone was serious: "It's not that you are better than others in some way, or that you are definitely better than others."

It took Xiao K a long time to understand the meaning of Shen Bei's words, then he took out a small notebook and wrote down the sentence.

Shen Bei was a little surprised: "What is this for?"

"Record your words." Little K smiled proudly, "Review them from time to time."

Shen Bei had a headache: "If you don't learn the good things, you will learn the bad things."

Little K: ???

Not a moment.

Lina held up the paper and waved it like a naughty child: "I'm done! Dad, give me a grade."

Song You looked at it for a while, his eyes revealing confusion, almost not knowing what he meant, but he still pretended to appreciate it and gave it a full score against his will: "One hundred points!"

"Yeah!" Lina jumped up happily and ran around the room.

Little K opened his mouth wide. He couldn't imagine that an adult was running around like a madman. This weird scene made Little K a little scared.

He moved his butt and leaned behind Shen Bei.

Shen Bei took the paper and stared carefully at the chaotic and intertwined lines.

"It's a bit abstract." Song You smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine.

At first, Shen Bei really couldn't tell what the painting was.

But when Shen Bei turned the paper around.

I understand.

Although the lines are crooked, they still convey the meaning well.

If Shen Bei saw it correctly.

The so-called core area of ​​the G01 region should be the crash site of the spacecraft...

Moreover, it is not the whole.

It's just the previous part, and the painting is reversed.

You can see the curved main console with buttons, joystick, etc.

The thing hanging on the ceiling that looks like a lamp holder should be a smart seat.

Broken panoramic windows and so on.

Of course, this is all Shen Bei's preconceived sense of substitution.

If my imagination is not on the same wavelength as Lina's, I won't be able to figure out what the painting is about no matter how hard I try.

Song You was sitting opposite him and asked curiously, "What did you figure out?"

Shen Bei shook his head slightly, and with a hint of regret, he threw the paper into the blazing fire: "I really can't understand it. The lines are too messy."

Song You shrugged helplessly.

For a moment, silence filled the room, with only Lina jumping around.

Soon, Lina yawned and her eyelids began to twitch.

He looks exhausted.

Shen Bei arranged for Song You to put Lina in Xiao K's room to rest.

Xiao K's room has two beds, which is enough for sleeping.

Shen Bei waited for a while, taking advantage of Lina falling asleep.

He quietly propped up her head and then touched her skull.

Song You asked in confusion: "What are you doing..."

Shen Bei let out a sigh, signaling Song You not to speak so as not to wake up Lina.

Feel around for a while.

Shen Bei felt a strange bulge on the tip of his finger.

Pull Lina's hair aside.

A milky white colloid the size of a grain of rice was found.

Look left and right along the colloid.

You can vaguely see a circular knife wound surrounding the entire skull.

Shen Bei's eyes flickered.

This is where Dr. Batu originally performed the operation.

The entire skull was cut open, and the size was just enough to take out Lina's brain and put in her daughter's brain.

Then some kind of biological adhesive should be used and finally sealed.

This raised milky white dot is where the glue is finally applied.

Originally, Shen Bei thought he could open Lina's brain anytime and anywhere.

This calculation failed.

It seems that it is not as simple as I thought.

The reason why Shen Bei wanted to snatch Lina back was to see how Lina's brain was connected and what was installed.

Dr. Batu is right.

Shen Bei just wants to replicate it!

Although there is no hardware equipment in Dr. Batu's core area.

But Shen Bei believed that he would.

The rest is technology.

Dr. Batu would rather be destroyed than hand over his technology.

Then, Lina becomes the only specimen for Shen Bei to refer to.

If you follow the example, you can learn something.

This is the way out Shen Bei left for himself.

I just don't know when this back-up plan can be activated.

Should I die first, or should Lina die later?

Or... when Shen Bei needs it one day, he may have to pry open Lina's head alive.

What will happen then... Shen Bei has no idea.

The future is still too far away, so let’s leave it like this for now.

Then, Shen Bei also drove Xiao K back to the room.

Shen Bei and Song You sat opposite each other again, gathered in front of the warm fireplace, each filled a glass of wine, immersed in contemplation and tranquility.

After a long while, Shen Bei was the first to break the silence: "Are you happy today?"

A trace of confusion appeared on his face, and he responded slightly dully: "It's hard to explain. I don't know either."

"I lost my sense of responsibility for seven years. Do you still have it now?"

"That's true."

"That means you are very happy today."

Song You suddenly laughed: "So this is what happiness is like."

"Happiness doesn't necessarily mean laughing." Shen Bei peeled a few peanuts, chewing them and letting the faint aroma of beans waft through his lips and teeth. "Those moments that make you re-evaluate yourself, and experience success or failure, are worth celebrating."

Song You nodded in agreement, shaking the wine glass gently in his hand.

"Now let's get down to business."

Shen Bei leaned lazily on the floor, holding a wine glass.

The firelight could only illuminate his lower body, and his face was hidden in the darkness.

His voice was steady and without fluctuations: "When you face Lina, do you feel that you are playing the role of a husband or a father?"

Hearing this, Song You scratched his head, a troubled look on his face: "It's really confusing."

"No, there's nothing to worry about." Shen Bei half-closed his eyelids: "Is a person defined by appearance? Look at her thinking, how she perceives herself, that's what she is."

Song You slowly raised his head, his eyes trembling a few times: "That's my daughter."

Shen Bei's tone was colder than the wind outside, and every word struck Song You's heart: "Yes, you have to control yourself. Lina is not your lover now. You must not do anything out of line. You know what I mean."

"of course."

"The filth of the flesh may be cleansed, or even discarded." Shen Bei's face emerged from the darkness and looked directly at Song You: "Spiritual pollution is eternal."

Song You's face was solemn: "I would never do such a thing."

"That's the best." Shen Bei drank a glass of wine and exhaled: "Once you have defined your identity, the following questions will become a little complicated..."

"No one in Shelter 36 knows Lina. Having her here won't be a big deal. The identity issue can be easily resolved."

Shen Bei pursed his lips: "But you can't, you are a member of Shelter No. 20, you have to leave after completing the mission."

Song You frowned and said firmly, "I will definitely take Lina away, but how can I explain it? Some people know her."

Shen Bei touched his nose and said, "Then it's up to you. Spend the money and say that you bought a woman from Shelter 36. Buy a new identity for Lina in your shelter and paint her face a little dirty. If you pay the money, the people at the household registration office won't care what Lina looks like."

"As for your neighbor... moving, the RV is several kilometers long, so finding a place and going out less often shouldn't be a problem."

"Once you're discovered, you can just say you bought her because she looks like your lover. That's enough to fool people. After all, she's been dead for seven years, and those who knew her have a vague impression of her."

Song You nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you, but what about Solution X? How long can it last?"

When Song You said this, his voice was trembling.

Without Solution X, we can only watch Lina "sleep"

It was equivalent to killing her with his own hands.

It would be better to put it in the G01 area, at least there is enough X solution.

Shen Bei pressed his hand: "We still have a mission to attack the core area to carry out, so we will bring back more by then."

Song You lowered his head and said nothing.

The future is visible.

Song You estimated that he might not be able to spend much time with Lina.

One year? Two years? Three years?

unconfirmed.

At this moment, I felt that my hands seemed to be guilty.

His brows were filled with self-mockery and regret, his lips moved, and he wanted to say...why not just send her back, at least it would ensure that Lina is alive.

Shen Bei seemed to see his anxiety and decided to give Song You a shot of cardiac stimulant: "Don't worry, as long as I'm not dead, Lina won't die either."

Shen Bei was speaking the truth.

If he could survive, Lina would definitely survive.

If I die...Lina will at least be with me.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that if Shen Bei dies, Lina will definitely die.

There is no such direct causal relationship between the two parties.

But no one can predict what will happen after Lina's brain is opened.

Song You's eyes suddenly fixed: "You...will you take care of it?"

Shen Bei nodded.

"Is there a way to guarantee the supply of Solution X?"

Shen Bei still nodded firmly.

This thing must be guaranteed to be available!

Just because Shen Bei doesn’t have this skill now doesn’t mean he won’t have it in the future!

Moreover, it is a skill that Shen Bei must acquire!

Song You's brows relaxed: "To be honest, I don't believe what others say, but I believe you."

Shen Bei curled his lips and said nothing.

But the next moment.

Song You looked up at Shen Bei with a sincere expression: "Then... can you tell me why you did this? I can accept any result, as long as you give me a reason."

Although Song You is not as strong as Shen Bei, he is cunning and has secretive tactics.

But he still has some brains and is not a fool.

He doesn't believe that in this fucking fucking world, there will be no sacrifice for no reason!
