Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded.

The sunlight in the living room is soft, shining on the food on the table.

Song You made some simple breakfast.

He wanted to take this opportunity to enter Lina's room.

But unexpectedly, Shen Bei came out one step ahead.

What surprised Song You even more was that the person following closely behind was Xiao K who had come back from the dead!

He glanced at Shen Bei beside him without leaving any trace, and his voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of uneasiness: "You, you did it?"

Song You has seen many living dead people.

Moreover, he had lived with Lina for a long time, so there was nothing surprising or alarming about it.

But Shen Bei’s part is really too outrageous!

I really want to pry open Shen Bei's head and see if there is a circuit board inside.

Is this a technology that humans can master?

I wouldn’t even dare to dream!

Shen Bei's face was calm, his tone was composed, as if he was stating something that was a matter of course: "Humans are so strange. When they want to break through themselves, they don't know how high their limit is."

Shen Bei looked at Xiao K with a smile.

Although he has no intelligence at all and is as stupid as a wooden stake, it is impossible for him to speak actively or feel the warmth and coldness of human nature.

But it is still a great help to Shen Bei.

But at this time Song You felt a little uncomfortable.

In his opinion, if Xiao K turned into a living dead, then something must have happened to Lina.

After all, Lina didn't come out.

There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. This is Song You’s understanding.

Shen Bei seemed to notice Song You's frustration and sat down to eat his breakfast.

"Are you happy?" Shen Bei asked for no reason.

Song You was stunned, extremely puzzled, and responded: "My last name is Song, you know."

Shen Bei: ...

"I mean happiness."

"Oh... it's not bad."

Song You was sitting opposite Shen Bei and knew that there was something else behind Shen Bei's words. Although he was anxious to know about Lina's situation, he didn't want to show any urgency.

Shen Bei smiled the flawless smile of a housekeeper in a large mansion, cold and impeccable. "Then tell me what happiness is?"

Song You racked his brains to form words, but after a long while, he couldn't come up with much. He could only say, "Alive, right? That's how I feel."

Song You spoke very cryptically.

Is Lina dead or not? Give me some fucking answer!

I should laugh or cry, but there's no point in keeping my heart hanging in the balance!

Shen Bei's expression was indifferent, and Song You could not see any positive or negative feedback from his face: "Happiness is 'taking up', and peace of mind is letting go."

Song You's eyes suddenly shook.

What do these two sentences mean?

Can you be more down-to-earth?

Dead?

Lina must be dead, right?

Song You tried hard not to show his disappointment, but the disappointment was already written on his face.

"Alas, I'm already very satisfied. I might as well die." Song You muttered in a low voice.

"That's true. But if there were no death, no one would ponder the meaning of life."

Shen Bei and Song You talked about the meaning of life. Maybe Shen Bei was just too bored.

"Living without death isn't living; it's merely existing, no different from a stone. It's like a marathon with no end. Even the most determined runner would be discouraged and unable to move forward in the face of such a challenge. There's no such thing as an ideal that must be achieved 'in this lifetime.' Since time is endless anyway, such a person probably wouldn't even talk about it. If there were no death, then advanced civilization wouldn't even be possible. Conversely, the more vivid and imposing death becomes, the more people will ponder their relationship to the world."

Shen Bei wiped the food residue from his mouth: "It is precisely because they are in such a close-to-death environment that they can burst out with such vivid vitality."

He continued slowly, "On the other hand, if people didn't die, then perhaps they wouldn't feel the meaning of life. There wouldn't be ideals to fulfill in this lifetime, and we wouldn't be able to build a developed civilization. Fear wouldn't evolve, and the courage that opposes fear wouldn't exist. There wouldn't be the need to reproduce, and love based on reproduction wouldn't exist. From another perspective, so many beautiful things aren't born out of life, but rather out of death."

Song You listened to Shen Bei's long speech, but it went in one ear and out the other.

A state of being completely unable to listen.

He just wanted to see Lina for the last time as soon as possible, but due to Shen Bei's threat, Song You didn't dare to move.

Like a mouse caught by a cat, it has completely lost the ability to control itself.

"What I want to say is that concern is just concern."

Shen Bei pointed at the table: "Lina will die sooner or later, it's not up to anyone."

Song You buried his head deeper.

"If you feel happy while taking a bath, looking at a flower, or eating a meal, it's not entirely because the bath is clean, the flower is beautiful, or the food is to your taste, but mainly because you have no worries in your heart."

Shen Bei stood up and patted Song You on the shoulder: "Go and have a look, he's still alive."

As soon as these words came out.

Song You's depressed mood suddenly seemed to evaporate. He jumped up, twisted his waist, and his face was full of spring light: "Really?"

Shen Bei nodded.

"You really scared me to death! You were talking about life and death, like the King of Hell was passing judgment!"

Shen Bei smiled and said, "I'm just reminding you that this day will come sooner or later."

“It’s a matter of when, not now.”

Song You rushed into Lina's room, shouting and yelling.

Shen Bei could understand Song You's feelings.

Being a contradictory combination of being both a husband and a father.

Faced with Lina's guilt, he naturally didn't want Lina to die suddenly.

At least, in his imagination, there should be a gradual process.

Shen Bei began to pack his supplies and prepare to leave with Xiao K.

Turning Little K into a living dead is not the ultimate goal of this trip out of Shelter No. 36.

Blood debt must be paid with blood.

Although Xiao K had a blood relationship with Shen Bei during his lifetime.

But I can't swallow this.

It was like a demon in his heart corroding Shen Bei.

It is not in Shen Bei's character not to tear Baba Tu into pieces.

Not a moment.

Song You took Lina out of the room.

Looking at Shen Bei's posture, Song You was stunned: "You..."

"See you again if we're lucky." Shen Bei said calmly.

"Wait a minute——"

Song You stood in front of Shen Bei, staring straight at him: "What are you going to do?"

Song You already knew the cause of Xiao K's death, and he could even guess where Shen Bei went after he left.

But he still asked.

Shen Bei answered bluntly: "I'll go talk to Babatu."

"Why not join Shelter No. 20? Isn't that great?" Song You waved his hand: "Look, we both have a living dead, it's a perfect match."

Shen Bei pointed to the plastic bucket in the corner: "This is for Lina."

"No, no, no, listen to me."

The corner of Song You's eye twitched wildly, and his expression suddenly changed. Simply put, it changed from "citizens looking at citizens" to "police looking at criminals." His tone also changed from polite to persuasive: "If you attack a shelter alone, you are definitely seeking death!"

Shen Bei said, "We are like a piece of meat, being put into the diner's mouth and chewed vigorously. A piece of meat happened to get stuck between the teeth, and the diner picked it out and didn't put it back into the mouth, but threw it aside. I am just this discarded piece of meat."

"No one is worth much, they are just a bunch of rotten lives."
