I met unscrupulous teammates at the beginning, watch me turn the tide

The flames slowly penetrated the texture of the wood, crackling.

The fire grew brighter, and the golden flames at the center of the wood overflowed the fireplace, painting the entire room a warm orange-red hue.

The heat from the fireplace surged like a tide, pushing away the coldness in the house bit by bit.

The warmth rising from the soles of his feet was like the heat of spring, slowly climbing up Shen Bei's legs, spreading along his spine to his whole body, until every hair tip was filled with comfortable temperature.

Shen Bei picked up the paper box, took out the scrap metal inside, placed it on the ground, and pieced it together carefully.

"I said……"

Rock walked out of Little K's room, his tone incomprehensible: "Aren't you worried about Little K?"

"When you said this..." Shen Bei paused here, placed a fragment in his hand on the breastplate, as if piecing together a puzzle, took a breath, then raised his head and continued:

"You're already a qualified father, and the kind of father who doesn't need to listen to his wife's nagging and nagging until her ears are hurt."

Luo Ke sat cross-legged in front of Shen Bei and stopped him from putting the puzzle together. "This old joke is getting boring after a few more times. What I want to say is, you're too cruel!"

"If a man is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm."

"The price-performance ratio is not high. If I were you, this tube of secondary awakening potion would be worth at least 100 crystal cores."

Shen Bei slowly raised his head and grinned, "So, you are not me, and I am not you. What you value is worthless in my eyes."

"Should I label you as rampant?"

"I never live for others. Any labels are useless to me." Shen Bei picked up the fragments and continued piecing them together: "Of course, if you label me handsome, I will thank you. If you say I'm ugly, I will beat you to a pulp."

Rock's face twisted, and he stared at him without blinking: "You are such a weirdo!"

"No." Shen Bei said seriously: "I am a normal person, it's just that you are too twisted."

Rock was stunned for a moment and smiled silently.

Shen Bei continued piecing together the fragments and spoke again, "Also, the Second Awakening Potion might be expensive, but it's definitely not prohibitive. That's why You Wuchang paid such a high price to bring Niu Ben back."

"If we keep the core things in our own hands, we won't be blackmailed by Shelter No. 1."

"Niu Niu Ben's mission is to bring prices down."

After Shen Bei said this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The more you laugh, the louder the laughter.

Even drowning out the howling of the wind outside.

In Rock's eyes, Shen Bei seemed to have suddenly suffered a mental illness.

"what are you laughing at?"

Rock moved his butt and took two steps back, as if he was on guard against a mad dog.

Shen Bei stopped laughing and waved his hand: "Nothing, I just thought of those kind-hearted people who bargained down the price and bought a Mercedes-Benz G-Class right away."

"Mercedes-Benz G-Class?" Rock stroked his chin. "What an old car name."

Not a moment.

Shen Bei finished assembling the armor and stood up: "I'm going out for a while."

"Where?"

"Research Institute, please lend me a welding machine."

"Twiddling with these pieces of junk?" Rock pointed at the debris on the ground.

Shen Bei put on his coat and said with a smile, "If one day, I have to choose between you and the armor, who do you think I would choose?"

Rock rolled his eyes: "If I were a flirty woman who could play ice and fire, then the answer would be natural."

"That's really the ultimate pleasure." Shen Bei said inexplicably.

……

The two walked out of the RV.

Shen Bei glanced into the distance.

The blizzard was sweeping in with unbridled force. The sky was thick with dark clouds, like the prelude to Judgment Day, rolling down towards the earth.

The snowflakes were no longer pure white, but mixed with dust and weathered debris.

In the wind and snow, the outlines of the former city ruins are faintly visible, and the dilapidated buildings appear even more desolate and dilapidated under the invasion of wind and snow.
