Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded.

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

Just one bottle of water requires five crystal cores.

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

Shen Bei naturally knew that water was hard to come by.

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

If humans want to get water, they still have to rely on Titan.

This giant creature often stops wriggling, opens its huge mouth, extends a rotating hollow flesh tube, and drills into the ground.

The groundwater is pumped out, and then the contaminated water is filtered through special internal filtering organs and stored in the gastric band to provide the water source needed for life.

Humans would drill a channel into the Titan's body, directly reaching its stomach, and draw clean water for drinking.

Although it was quite difficult, at least the water supply was enough for everyone in Shelter No. 36 to consume.

The shop owner then explained, "Titan hasn't stopped drawing water for nearly two months. Scarcity makes water valuable, so the price is naturally rising."

The boss put 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 store.

Shen Bei put the water bottle away carefully.

According to the original owner's memory, he walked among the mobile homes.

Arrived at an apartment.

The apartment is not high, only three floors.

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

"came back?"

The landlord was a greasy middle-aged man, fat and bloated, who was gnawing on the root bone of an unknown ferocious beast.

Yellowed teeth tore at the half-cooked flesh: "What was the harvest this time?"

Shen Bei's face was calm: "It's all gone."

“That’s how it is in this fucked up world.”

The landlord wiped his hands and continued, "Yesterday he was still drinking and chatting happily, and today he's dead."

Shen Bei nodded, turned and walked upstairs.

The landlord poked his huge head out and said, "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!"

Shen Bei then remembered that the original owner went out on an adventure to hunt ferocious beasts in order to obtain the crystal source core to pay the rent.

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

The landlord smiled brightly and waved his hand: "Not bad, I thought you would have to go out a few more times to get enough rent. Come on up."

Shen Bei smiled slightly and continued to go upstairs.

Judging from the original owner's memory, the landlord used to be a person with special abilities.

It was really popular for a while.

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

This causes his superpowers to be sealed and he falls back to being an ordinary person.

Fortunately, he earned a lot of crystal source cores, bought four pairs of wheels, built a three-story apartment, became a landlord, and lived a good life.

The so-called "divine punishment miasma" is a kind of gas that appears at any time and anywhere without any pattern.

Once a psychic is contaminated by this gas, no matter how powerful he is, his powers will be sealed and cannot be cracked, and he will inevitably become an ordinary person.

The humans in this world believe that this is God's punishment for those with special abilities who spy on the energy of heaven and earth.

It is called "divine punishment miasma"

……

Shen Bei pushed open the door of his residence.

The interior space is not large.

A bed takes up almost 80℅ of the space.

The room was fairly clean.

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

Shiny black.

The world's water resources are hard to come by, especially drinking water.

Even the luxurious upper class rarely afford to bathe in purified water.

Generally, it is a secondary water source filtered by purification equipment.

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

It will be fine if you just hold on.

But it's not as comfortable as taking a shower, it's more like taking a shower under an electric stream.

Therefore, most humans rarely take a bath, so their bodies are naturally very dirty.

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

They are all items of little value.

But inside one of the packaging bags, there was a photo.

On the front of the photo is a photo of a little boy and a little girl.

He is not very old, about five years old.

There is a delicate handwriting on the back, which seems to be written by a lady.

"In the year 67 of the New Calendar, my younger sister, Shen Nan, accompanied me to Shelter No. 7. This is written by the Scarlet Queen."

"Sister, Scarlet Queen?"

Shen Bei was stunned.

This part of the memory was not inherited at all.

If I hadn't looked in the drawer, I wouldn't have known this existed.

"This name, Scarlet Queen...seems quite powerful."

Shen Bei pursed his lips.

Let’s put this past event aside for now.

With Shen Bei's current ability, he is not able to find where Shelter No. 7 is.

Then he grabbed the alarm clock on the table, tilted his head, and his eyes lit up.

[Alarm Clock LV1: 0/5]

[Internal parts are damaged, time is inaccurate, alarm is damaged, and time cannot be told.]

Shen Bei's hands flew and he quickly disassembled the alarm clock into hundreds of small parts.

Then assemble it back.

[Alarm Clock LV1: 100/5]

"upgrade!"

[Alarm Clock LV2: 95/10]

"upgrade!"

……

[Alarm Clock LV5: 0/100]

[An intact alarm clock, with accurate time and crisp ringtones. Excellent quality, virtually undamaged by external forces. If 10 crystal cores are installed, it can be used as a detonator.]

"Hmm? A time bomb?"

Shen Bei was stunned.

Unexpectedly, the small alarm clock turned into a detonator after an upgrade!

You know, the essence of the crystal source core is a kind of energy.

It was just absorbed by the psychic.

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

"What a surprise."

Shen Bei held the alarm clock in his hand and grinned, "I thought only guns could be upgraded, but now it seems everyone's mechanical items can be upgraded."

"If there were a Gundam or a battle armor or something..."

“Hiss… I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it!”

Shen Bei's mind immediately moved.

The lower-level location where Shen Bei is currently located does not have the conditions to produce machinery.

On the upper level, that is, on the back of the Titan, there are places for producing weapons and processing machinery.

take a break.

Shen Bei couldn't help himself.

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

This is closely related to your own plug-in.

Go out.

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

On the way, Shen Bei also bought a face powder.

This is a food made of fine earth and flour.

Really, the taste of nature.

It has a crunchy texture, a bit like chewing old tree bark.

But this is the main food for ordinary humans.

Shen Bei slowly got used to the food that didn't taste very good.

soon.

Shen Bei came to the stairs.

This is the only access to the back of the Titan.

There are two login methods.

One is to walk up.

Another way is to take the elevator.

Elevators are generally used to transport supplies, and their power comes from an electrical ability user.

But he was seen holding the wires in both hands, with sparks flying out of his palms, his face flushed red, as he controlled the current output.

The motor rotates slowly, lifting the elevator upward.

Shen Bei was allowed to pass only after he was inspected by the guards and handed over ten kilograms of rotten wolf meat strips.

It's a bit painful, mainly because Shen Bei didn't pay attention to details. He should have divided the rotten wolf meat into smaller pieces.

Maybe handing over one pound would be enough.

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