However, as they moved forward, the buildings on the side gradually decreased, and after a while, they found that there was a battlefield ruin ahead. However, there were only some tanks and machine guns, and nothing to collect, so the group went straight there.

Over the next few days, more and more battlefield ruins appeared around them. Sometimes, Senju and the others would search for items. Yuri often practiced shooting in these ruins, while Senju would look for usable vehicles, tanks, and airplanes to repair and use later.

Having seen many ruins before, the group continued to collect usable items from these relics, mostly weapons and ammunition. Senju also started practicing his marksmanship with Yuri, and although he improved, his marksmanship was still quite average.

They walked and stopped, sometimes making strange marks along the way, but they still didn't encounter any other humans or creatures.

After wandering around the city for several days, they arrived at a large battlefield ruin. Behind them were buildings, but on the other side of the battlefield, there were no buildings left, as if this was the edge of the city.

Seeing weapons everywhere, Yuri started practicing her marksmanship again. At this time, Senju joined in, but Chito still didn't want to use a gun, so he just kept counting from behind.

However, she mainly counted for Yuri, because Senju was still practicing on his own. He placed an abandoned oil drum in front of him and practiced there continuously.

As the gunshots continued to ring out, Chito observed the results through binoculars. Yuri's marksmanship was still excellent, and Chito reported a string of "hit!"

"Missing," a different voice emerged from the chorus of "successful," as if Yuri had missed.

"Oh my," she said, seemingly surprised, after loading a new round of bullets. "Then let's take the last shot."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Airplanes and Flight

“Firing a few more shots is fine, there are plenty here anyway,” Qianhu said, glancing at the piles of weapons around him and several packs of ammunition beside him.

Yuri didn't answer; instead, she focused intently on continuing to shoot at the target.

The commander then began observing again, and "hit the mark."

After emptying all the bullets in the gun, Yuri looked at Chito sitting next to her and said helplessly, "Chito, why don't you give it a try? Look how happy Chito is shooting."

Chito glanced at Senju, who was standing next to him seemingly sending bullets somewhere, and then shook his head. "No need, I'll pass."

"Because Chito can't hit anything accurately, just like Senju," Yuri revealed Chito's secret, which annoyed her. "So long-winded."

"Doesn't Chiyo carry a weapon? She even brings Senju."

"There's no need for that, since you all brought them anyway."

"Really? There are so many weapons around, what a waste." The surrounding area is a ruin composed of countless weapons.

“It’s mostly junk, let’s search again,” Chito looked at the ruins with some helplessness, while Yuri was a little excited. “It might not be weapons anymore, it could be things that can be used, like rice.”

"Well, rice is a bit difficult," Qianhu said, admiring Yuri's imagination. "But military rations are still worth looking for."

By this time, Senju had also run out of bullets. Before she could even see the result, she was dragged off to find something. However, on the battlefield, shells and machine guns were everywhere.

Just then, a tank ahead caught Yuri's attention. "Tank! By the way, do tanks taste good?"

"Do you want to try it?" Chito glared at her, but Yuri pretended to swallow the chariot and took a big bite, chewing on it.

Senju looked at the dilapidated tank from the side and found that it was just an empty shell, with even the tracks on the wheels removed.

The three of them climbed up and looked around at the surrounding area. There were abandoned weapons everywhere, which made them sigh, "It's practically a graveyard for weapons."

Looking at these discarded weapons and thinking about the current environment, they were puzzled. "People in the past must have lacked food, so why did they manufacture so many weapons? Senju, do you know?"

"Hmm, I don't quite understand either, but even with plenty of food, people will still make weapons. I guess it's just human instinct," Senju said with a hint of helplessness. War and peace are eternal topics.

"It's instinct, but if we prepare more for preservation when there's plenty of food, things will be much easier for us."

"Perhaps a lot of things happened during that time, like war or something."

After saying that, the three of them got off the tank and walked to the side, where there was a giant airplane. When they got closer, they found that it was in a dilapidated state with many holes. However, Yuri was still amazed by the huge airplane. "Wow, it's an airplane. Can it still fly now?"

“It used to be okay,” Chito replied, and Senju looked at the plane uncertainly and added, “I guess I can fix it.”

“Really? I really want to fly!” Yuri ran over and grabbed Senju’s arm, looking at him expectantly. However, Senju said somewhat shyly, “It will probably take a long time.”

"Oh, you have to take me flying after it's fixed," Yuri said, a little disappointed. "Chihiro wants to fly too, right?"

"not at all."

Yuri then seemed to remember something else, "Could this also be a weapon?"

“That’s probably it, it should be something like a bomber,” Chito said uncertainly, then looked at Senju, who didn’t know anything about it. “Haha, it’s probably a bomber.”

At this moment, everyone saw that there were many things inside the plane. Chito tried to climb up, but it was too high. Yuri pushed her up from behind, saying, "War is about killing each other, why do such a thing?"

Thousand Hands didn't say anything, but quickly built a ladder. He wouldn't resist war if it was for the sake of protecting peace.

"Hmm, maybe their interests don't align with ours, or maybe there are three of us, and two portions of food, that's why we're fighting each other."

Once inside the cabin, several types of firearms and blueprints were scattered on the floor, along with a pile of boxes. Yuri remarked with some emotion, "They really have everything."

Senju picked up the blueprints from the ground and looked at them. He found that they were design drawings, but unfortunately he didn't know what they said. Yuri, who was next to him, picked up a six-barreled machine gun and said, "Look, there are super powerful guns here too."

"Drop the gun, we don't need it," Qianhu said, leaning over a nearby box and rummaging through it. "Is there anything useful inside? Found it."

“Explosives,” Yuri recognized it after taking a look, but unfortunately Senju couldn’t understand the words on it at all. Chito nodded, “Not bad, this can break through walls and move obstacles. It’s very useful. Senju, put it away.”

After Senju put away the box of explosives, Yuri's gaze fell on a box next to her. "What's this?"

"Solid rations?" Senju opened the package and read the words on the small packets inside, but immediately ordered, "Senju, put them away quickly."

However, she took out two more packets before letting Senju put them away. Senju thought to herself, "Is this going to be a war? There are only three of us."

After seeing that Senju had put everything away, Chito went to look for other things, but the other boxes were full of cannonballs and bullets, which Chito had no interest in at all.

Seeing that there was nothing left to use, Chito had Senju build a...

A flight of stairs led up to the top of the plane, where the three of them stood on the roof, enjoying the surrounding scenery.

Soon, the propeller on the wing next to them caught Yuri's attention. "Chi, come fly with me. Senju looks too heavy, so stay here."

After saying that, she pulled Chito onto the propeller. Senju was horrified when she saw it. "That's too dangerous! Yuri, bring Chito back quickly!"

“Yeah,” Chito said. Although she was scared, she stood on the propeller with Yuri. However, judging from how tightly she was holding onto the propeller blades, she was still afraid.

"It's okay, it's okay," Yuri stomped her feet a few times on the propeller, which moved slowly, making Chito even more frightened. "Stop it quickly!"

But Yuri stomped her feet a few more times, and the propeller finally started spinning, and the two of them slid down. "Ah, we're flying!"

Then they fell to the snow. Senju, who was watching from above, was horrified. Looking at the two people lying in the snow, he asked, "Are you alright?"

"Haha, I'm so happy, but I'm hungry." Yuri turned over and shouted to Senju, "It's okay, Senju, you should try it too."

"Haha, no need, I'm a little afraid of heights," Senju said, seeing that the two were alright, and then lay down on it. After a while, Yuri and Chito came up and sat next to Senju.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Food and Weapons

"Here you go, this is Yu's share, and this is Senju's share," Senju said, opening a bag of dry rations and distributing them to everyone.

"Mmm, delicious," Yuri tasted it and found it very sweet. Senju also felt this familiar taste.

"It says it's chocolate flavored on the label. Senju, do you even know what chocolate is?"

"Yes, it's a kind of dessert from the past, with a dark color, and it seems to be made from cocoa beans."

"Oh, then what are sweets and cocoa beans?"

"Sweets are very sweet foods, and cocoa beans are the fruit of a plant."

"I see, it's something like sugar, but it's a plant."

The three of them ate slowly, and there was only one stick left in the last two bags. "There's one more. Are there five sticks in each bag? Is two bags an even number? This one will be..."

A hand reached out and took the last one away. Qianhu panicked and cried out, "Hey!"

Then he turned his head and saw Yuri pointing a gun at him. "Don't move."

"What do you want to do?" Chito asked, somewhat surprised, but then calmed down. Senju, standing beside him, remained nonchalant, not believing that the two would fight each other.

“I’ll take this,” Yuri said coldly, holding the gun in her other hand and the piece of dry rations in her other hand. The commander seemed to understand something.

“I see. I should bring weapons too,” but just as Chito realized this, Yuri swallowed her rations in one gulp. “Yes, that means this is war.”

"Ah, you really ate it, you bastard!" Chito suddenly slammed Yuri to the ground and slapped her across the face, shouting as he hit her, "Hey, Yuri."

Yuri lay there laughing, "Hehe, it hurts so much, haha."

The salted fish, Thousand Hands, quickly rolled to the side a few times, while Chito straddled Yuri and kept hitting her, saying, "You, you, that's the last one."

Yuri kept laughing and shouting, "It hurts, it hurts so much, hahaha."

The two of them joked around for a while before stopping. Yuri, who was being used as a pillow by Chito, burst into laughter, "Hehehe, ahahaha, it's really delicious!"

Chitoge was also exhausted, so he lay down there fuming. "You just wait and see, you're even hungrier now!"

This made Yuri laugh again. She grabbed a handful of snow and put it in her mouth, feeling a surge of surprise. "Chii, snow is delicious too!" Then she became a little sad. "War is so awful that we can only eat snow now."

“Ah,” Chitoichi straightened up and hit her in the stomach with his head, “You have no right to say that.”

Yuri struggled for a while before relaxing, and the three of them lay in the snow, slowly watching the snowflakes fall.

After a while, Yuri got up and pounced on Chito, but Chito dodged it. Yuri then lay down on the snow, picked up a snowball, and slowly ate it. Chito saw this and also picked up a snowball and ate it. Chito opened his mouth and caught the snowflakes falling from the sky.

After an unknown amount of time, the three of them finally got off the plane. After packing everything up from inside the plane, Senju also came to the ground. "Be careful," he said. "Let me try to see if I can fold up this plane."

"Oh," the two people next to them looked on expectantly, and then saw the huge plane disappear in an instant. "Wow, that's amazing, it really went all out."

"Hmm, it really can be assembled, but I wonder how much experience it will take to repair it," Senju said, glancing at the several other crashed helicopters around him before running over to assemble them as materials for repairs.

After returning to the vehicle, Senju refilled the food box, which originally contained military rations but had been replaced with chocolate-flavored ones.

The three slowly left the battlefield, heading in another direction. Behind them, countless weapons lay scattered, and they would remain there forever. It was unknown whether anyone would ever come back to disturb the peace.

As the vehicle continued to move forward, the three arrived at an open field. Although they didn't know why there were no buildings around, they continued to move forward.

As darkness fell, there were still no buildings around. Normally, Chito wouldn't make such a mistake, but after witnessing Senju's speed in building houses, she was no longer afraid. Even in this wilderness, she wasn't worried about not having a place to live.

"Senju, hurry up and build a house! It's so cold!" Chito stopped the car, and Yuri was shivering beside him. "Yeah, Senju, hurry up! It's so cold!"

"You two could have stopped at the building just now, but you insisted on coming here," Senju said helplessly, but he still built a house to surround the two of them and the car, which quickly became a small hut.

After returning to the house, he smashed all the snow on the ground into snowballs and threw them out. He already had several snowballs on him and didn't need any more.

Then, they replaced part of the ground with wooden planks, built a fire pit on one side, installed a door, and put torches in. Only then was the work considered complete. Qianhu and Yuri lay on the cart watching the whole time. "Wow, that's fast! Is this a miracle? Those stones didn't fall down!"

"That's true, Chihiro, it's really strange."

"You two, hurry up and come down, it's time to prepare dinner."

"Great, it's time to eat again."

"Yes, what should we eat today?"

After saying that, the two got up. Senju put some combustible organic waste into the fire pit, and Chito poured some fuel on it and lit it. Soon the room became warm.
