Offer blocks to the end times

"Huff, huff, let me try shooting," Yuri gasped, completely ignoring Senju's words, and raised her gun to fire a few shots at the pipe.

With a few piercing gunshots, a small hole appeared in the pipe, from which a stream of steaming water flowed out.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Bathhouse in the Snow

“It’s hot water,” Yuri said.

Staring blankly at the steaming water, Chito was also somewhat dazed. "Where's the hot water?"

The two looked at each other and gave each other a mysterious smile. "What should we do?"

"What to do? Of course, we should..."

Just as they were wondering what they were thinking, Senju noticed their expressions and wondered if they had gone mad from the cold. "What's wrong with you two? What are you talking about?"

"Oh, you startled me. Senju, you're here too. Perfect timing to build a pool for us," Yuri suddenly woke up and noticed Senju.

"Pool? What are you trying to do?"

"Of course we need to take a bath! Senju, you haven't taken a bath in a long time, have you? Taking a bath is so comfortable!" Yuri excitedly grabbed Senju, urging him to quickly build a pool to hold all the hot water.

"Taking a bath? But with this heavy snow," Senju was tempted by the hot water, but then became a little scared looking at the snowflakes in the sky. "Hmm, we'll need to build a big bathhouse."

After saying that, he began to build the bathhouse under the expectant gazes of the two men. He first cleaned the ground, then built a pool two meters wide and four meters long under the hot water, allowing the hot water to slowly accumulate in it. Then he began to build a house around the pool.

Chito drove his car over, and the two of them watched the hot water slowly rise in the pool. "Having Chito here is so convenient."

Thousand Hands built the house, leaving an opening for the pipe to pass through. Then, they built a fire pit inside the house, lit a fire, and laid wooden planks on the side.

"Wow, this is amazing, a luxurious bath!" Yuri was delighted by everything around her and was about to take off her clothes and jump into the pool.

"Wait a minute, let the room warm up a bit, and I also need to build a pool for myself," Senju stopped the impulsive Yuri, though she was a little confused.

"Why build a pool? It would be so much better if the three of us could bathe together."

"Yes, there are all sorts of reasons, but you can't go wrong by listening to me."

“Yes, then I’ll wait a bit,” Yuri lay down on the floor, while Senju built another water channel next to the pool to divert the hot water to the pool next to it, and then built a partition wall over the water channel.

"Ah, so much hot water has disappeared, but the room is so warm," the two were initially surprised to see the hot water flowing away, but they were quickly won over by the warmth of the room.

Senju, seeing that the pool was full, said to the two people on the floor, "The bathroom is ready. You can take a bath now."

“Really, Chihiro? Let’s go in,” Yuri started preparing for a bath, and Chihiro followed suit. “How long has it been since you last took a bath?”

"This is really nice hot water, Senju," it seemed that Yuri had already started taking a bath. Senju also felt that she hadn't taken a bath in a long time, so she took off her armor, revealing the cotton clothes underneath.

However, seeing the water flowing around him, he had no choice but to dig a hole in the wall next to him to let the water flow away. But then he realized there was nowhere to put his clothes, so he put a piece of wood next to him. "Chito, Yuri, do you have a place to put your clothes?"

“Yes, you can just put it on the floor,” Yuri replied, seemingly throwing the clothes directly onto the floor.

"Ah, it's so hot," Chito seemed to have just entered the bath. Then came a strange sound for a while, followed by a comfortable moan, "Ah...it feels so good, it's been so long since I took a bath."

Senju also tested the water temperature; it was a bit hot, but it felt nice in this weather. He then entered the bath and immediately felt a pricking sensation, as if he had been scalded by hot water. It took a while before he felt comfortable.

"Chieftain, have you not taken a bath in a long time?"

"Hmm, after leaving Grandpa's house, did you only take a bath two or three times?" Yuri asked, a little confused, but Chito quickly replied, "You took a bath three times."

"Oh, so this is the fourth time. How many times have you washed yourself, Senju?"

"This is the first time I've ever taken a shower here. It's so cold outside, yet you've showered me so many times."

"Hehe, taking a bath is so comfortable."

“That’s true,” Senju said, feeling very comfortable soaking in the hot water. The two people next to her were also enjoying the hot water.

“Bliss, bliss,” Yuri suddenly muttered, then asked with some confusion, “Do you know what bliss means?”

“It probably means the afterlife,” Chito said, engrossed in the hot water, but her explanation didn’t satisfy Yuri. “That’s really unlucky, Chito. Do you know what it means?”

"Bliss? There are several interpretations. The world after death is one of them, which is the world of bliss. But there is another interpretation, which is that it is very comfortable and makes people happy."

"Is that so? But it feels so good right now, pure bliss."

"Hmm, that makes sense," the three of them said as they slowly soaked in the bath, enjoying the warmth they hadn't felt in a long time.

After some time, Qianhu's voice came from the side, "Ah, I'm going to get dizzy from soaking. I'm going out first."

"It's so cold," she said, seemingly feeling a bit uncomfortable after getting out of the bath. However, after adding some fuel to the fire pit, she felt much better. She dried her body and hair with the clothes she had prepared, put on her clothes, and sat down next to the fire.

On the other side, Senju also felt the foam.

I was almost done. After washing my hair, I took out a few clean clothes from my bag, prepared to dry myself off, and change my clothes.

After changing his clothes, Senju still felt a bit emotional. Having a system was really convenient; otherwise, he would be in trouble now.

However, the temperature inside the room was still quite high, so Senju put on a thinner garment for the time being. "Have you two finished washing?"

"You're done washing?" they both answered in unison. Senju also came out from the side, and then saw Chito drying her hair by the fire pit. Yuri looked like she had just come out of the bath. When she saw Senju come out, she greeted her, "Yo, Senju, are you done washing too?"

"Hey, you! Put your clothes on right now!" Senju felt his face flush red and retreated, roaring.

"Ah, but I don't have any clean clothes. All my clothes are with you, Senju."

"Then why does Qianhu have clothes?"

"Ah, this is what I prepared in my backpack, but I've never used it."

"Here you go," Senju said, taking out a few clean clothes from the package and tossing them over. Yuri then changed into the clothes before Senju came out.

After coming out, Yuri was still very puzzled. "Senju, that's really strange. She makes a fuss about everything."

"You have no right to say that. Hurry up and dry your hair."

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Messy Power Plant

After drying their hair, the three lay on the floor, not wanting to move. Chito and Yuri were only wearing white robes and didn't seem to feel cold at all, while Senju was wearing a thick coat.

However, all three of them were lying lazily on the floor. After a while, Yuri spoke up, "Ah, it's almost cooled down."

“That’s true, we need to put on our coats,” Chito and Yuri said, but they still lay there limply.

A moment later, a rumbling stomach was heard. "Ah, I'm hungry. It's about time to eat."

"What should we eat? You go and cook."

"Yes, what should we eat? Does Senju have anything that can be eaten directly?"

"Have some chocolate-flavored dry food," Senju said, turning herself up a quarter of the way to look at the two people next to her. "You're wearing too little; you'll get sick easily."

"Ah, let's eat this, we'll put it on later."

"You two, cover yourselves with the blankets first," Senju tossed two blankets out of the package. Chito and Yuri caught them and curled up in a ball. "Ah, so warm. It would be even better if there was food too."

Listening to everyone's lazy conversation, Senju felt her own speech slow down. She rolled over to Sengo and gave her two bags of dry rations. "Here you go, Sengo, this is for you and Yuri."

"Thank you," Chito reached out from under the covers to take the blanket, then rolled over to Yuri's side. After bumping into each other for a while, they ended up with two blankets for two people, one on top of the other.

"This is so comfortable," the two of them ate their dry rations under the covers. Senju also got himself a blanket and lay down inside to eat his dry rations.

After the three of them finished eating under the covers, they chuckled for a while and then slowly fell asleep, completely forgetting about the wind and snow outside.

The next morning, when Senju woke up, she saw Chito pulling Yuri away from jumping into the bath. "Good morning, you're up very early."

"Oh, good morning, Senju, you're awake too." Chito pulled Yuri back inside, but Yuri still wanted to go back in. "Let me go! I want to live in here forever."

"Really? Even without food, you're going to live there?"

"Huh? What are you doing, Chihiro? Did I just do something?"

"You, you rascal!" Qianhu grabbed Yuri's face and started pulling it, while Yuri laughed and begged for mercy.

Senju glanced at the pipe that was still flowing out, showing no signs of stopping. However, he couldn't block it, and it would eventually run out of water.

However, the warmth in the room was thanks to the hot water. Looking at the two people still playing around, we said, "Let's explore this power plant today and hopefully find something usable."

"Okay, but what's inside?"

"There might be something useful here; construction hasn't stopped yet."

"That's true, it would be great if we could run into someone."

"Yes, we'll look for the entrance after we finish eating. If you find any black stones, be sure to let me know."

"A black stone? I understand."

Senju still hadn't given up hope of finding a large amount of coal in the power plant, wondering if there was anything like that in this remote power station.

After finishing their meal, the group put on their coats. Chito and Yuri were still wearing their thick military uniforms and helmets, but Senju wasn't wearing his usual armor. He was afraid of getting electrocuted in the power plant, so he wore a leather armor he had gotten while fishing.

Senju only removed the wooden planks from the bathhouse, leaving the rest behind. Yuri also took out her camera, which she hadn't used for a few days, and documented the place.

After going outside, it was still snowing, but it was much lighter than the raging snow of the previous night. However, there was still a thick layer of snow outside, so the three of them walked around the building in the snow looking for the entrance.

After searching along the wall for a while, I saw a huge door there. The door was closed tightly, but it was less than a thousand...

After placing my hand on the lever, it opened quickly.

Soon, faint machine noises came from inside, and some lights were shining. The three people entered and the first thing they saw was the huge machines around them. Then they found that the ground was littered with various debris, blueprints and firearms, as if everyone had been hastily evacuated.

After rummaging through the junk on the ground for a while, Senju collected it all. Then, everyone started searching for usable items around the machines.

As Senju continued searching for items along the road, he noticed many damaged robots in the passageway. These robots were no longer active, so Senju ignored them and focused on finding various items.

However, there didn't seem to be any food or anything like that around. Instead, there were many electronic products, but after Senju tried them a few times, she found that they were no longer working. Chito and Yuri were also a little curious about these things. "Senju, are these the black stones you're looking for?"

"No, it's not this. It's a black stone that can burn; it's called coal."

"Really? But this black stuff can burn too, and sometimes it even produces very high flames."

"...Remember this from now on, don't throw this kind of thing into the fire."

After complaining for a while, Senju discovered a well-sealed warehouse with electronic systems and huge iron locks hanging outside.

Senju looked around and, finding no strange symbols, broke the iron lock and used the lever to open the door. Inside, they found items wrapped tightly everywhere, and the three began to examine what they were.

After opening it, a bunch of huge parts were revealed inside, probably for use on the machines outside. After taking a few more steps inside, Senju suddenly felt that he had stepped on something, but the surrounding light was already very dim. Senju took out a torch and placed it on the wall, and then saw a small pile of coal in a corner of the warehouse.

Senju was very happy to see this. He didn't know why there was coal here, but that didn't stop him from taking it. After collecting all the coal, he found that he had three sets of coal.

Yuri, who was on the side, also noticed some strange cylindrical containers in the packaging. She didn't know what was inside, but after Senju saw the familiar symbols, she quickly pulled everyone away from there.

The two looked around at the dimly lit road and agreed with Thousand Hands' suggestion. Although they didn't lack supplies for the time being and there wasn't much here, they still needed to get to the city as soon as possible, otherwise they would be in trouble if they encountered a blizzard.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The heated kang bed was not yet warm.

After leaving the power plant, Senju pulled the lever next to him again, and the gate slowly closed, and the surroundings immediately became quiet.
