Offer blocks to the end times

They put some things from the bag into their backpacks, Yuri also packed one, and then Senju put the car away.

After the four people stood in the cage, Jinze operated the mechanism to start rising.

"What will happen? Will everything be alright?" Qianhu began to worry.

However, Yuri was quite optimistic, saying, "It'll be fine."

"Yuri, you're so optimistic, you're almost too optimistic for words," Chito said, expressing his admiration for Yuri's optimism.

However, Yuri had some longing for life on the upper floors, imagining the environment there. "But you know, there's plenty of food up there, and many people are living happily ever after. That's possible, isn't it?"

Chapter Forty-Four: A High-Altitude Adventure

After everyone had put their bags away, Jinze turned on the switch, and the cage slowly rose up along the track.

As the cage rose higher, the entire city gradually came into view. Everyone stood on the side, looking at the scene below. Kanazawa took out his camera and took pictures. Yuri also took out her camera and took pictures after seeing this.

Senju and Chito started to get scared; it was so high! They clung tightly to the railing, still terrified. But the two people taking pictures nearby didn't seem to feel anything.

After taking a few pictures, Jinze stopped. "Going back to the previous topic, it's true that there are almost no places left to get food on this floor, and places to get fuel and water are gradually disappearing. Perhaps the higher the floor, the greater the possibility that it still retains urban functions, but this is just my opinion."

Just as the two were talking, the cage rose even higher. Senju gripped the bars tightly and collapsed there, unable to let go, while Chito sat down in the middle, terrified and powerless.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Yuri walked up to Senju and was immediately grabbed by him. "Nothing," she said, and then slowly stood up. Senju, watching from the side, dared not let go of the railing.

"Chihiro, you don't need to force yourself to stand up. Look, isn't Senju sitting there?"

"No, I'm fine," but after saying that, Chito slowly slumped down, letting out a few mournful cries before finally sitting down on the ground.

Yuri looked at Chito, who was clinging to her, with a hint of helplessness. "Chito, are you afraid of heights too? Are you alright, Chito?"

"It's okay, as long as you don't let go, as long as you don't let go," Senju muttered to himself.

"Why are there no guardrails? These few bars are completely useless," Qianhu said, looking at the cage with some fear. After all, the gaps around the cage were big enough for three or four people to fall in together.

"Oh, I didn't know there was such a way," the Thousand Hands, who had been stunned, finally regained his senses and took out a bunch of iron bars and installed them around the cage.

"It's a pity, the view used to be quite nice," Yuri said, leaning on the iron railing and looking out. Chito and Senju finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well done, Senju," Senju said, finally able to stand firmly after seeing the increased protection around him. However, he was still somewhat indignant. "Why didn't people add so many railings before?"

"Probably to save materials, or it would feel wasteful to pack them in," Kanazawa said, putting the bag containing the map aside and starting to organize the photos in his camera.

"What if it slides down the slope? If we only have the original guardrail," Qianhu was still a little angry.

However, Yuri thought Chito was overthinking it, "How could it be so easy for it to tilt?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a strange sound came from the cage, and then it tilted to one side.

"Kanezawa, stop!" Yuri shouted. Kanazawa immediately turned off the switch next to him, and the cage stopped. However, at this moment, all three of them crashed into the edge of the guardrail. If it weren't for the iron bars installed by Senju, all three of them would have fallen.

"Phew, it finally stopped. That was close," Senju said, touching his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.

"Is everyone alright?"

"fine."

After watching for a while, Jinze's reaction was very calm: "Maybe the track is blocked by something."

"Can it be fixed? Hmm," just as Chito was about to ask, he saw Kanazawa's schoolbag slide towards him.

"Map!" Jinze watched as the backpack slid to one side, afraid it would fall, he immediately pounced on it, then crashed into the iron railing installed by the Senju, and hugged the backpack that had stopped earlier. "Great, great, that hurts."

Then everyone noticed a swelling on his head. "Are you alright? You won't fall off."

"It's alright, thank you. This railing is really great. If the map had fallen, I would have been dead," Kanazawa said, clinging to Senju.

“Oh, really? Someone was just saying it was a waste,” Yuri said, revealing her cunning nature.

"Haha, thank goodness there's a fence. I'll have to be more careful from now on," Jinze finally showed a happy expression, and the sense of distance was gone.

“But the thing now is to figure out how to fix this,” Qianhu steered the conversation back to their current situation, glancing at the three people around him. “Is there any way?”

“This will depend on Yuri and Kanazawa. I’m afraid of heights, but I can provide support and tools,” Senju said, making arrangements for herself first.

“Leave it all to me,” Yuri said, starting to climb out. Senju quickly stopped her and took out a piece of rope.

They tied her up, and then built a platform on the wall to one side.

However, while he was building the platform, Yuri had already climbed up. After inspecting the cage from the top for a while, she found the cause and started working on it.

After some time, Yuri removed the items from the track, and Kanazawa slowly manipulated it from inside, finally bringing the cage back to a balanced state.

Senju had no choice but to knock down all the blocks next to her. A while later, Yuri climbed back up from above. She didn't seem scared at all; on the contrary, she was very happy. She said the rope would only get in the way.

Senju and Sento looked at each other speechlessly. This was clearly a safety guarantee. Do you know how dangerous it was just now and how worried everyone was?

After solving the problem, Jinze slowly raised the cage, and this time he dared not put his schoolbag down again.

The journey continued without incident, and everyone finally reached the top safely. There was a huge circular platform at the top, with only one bridge extending into the adjacent city.

"It's great that it's working smoothly. What if it had stopped in mid-air?" Even after they got out of the cage, everyone was still a little scared, although the journey had taken a bit longer.

"It's already dark," Yuri remarked, when suddenly the streetlights beside her emitted a dazzling light, and lights also illuminated the distant city.

"The lights, the electric lights have all come back to life!" The group of people were excited as they looked at the city filled with lights, because they hadn't seen such a sight for a long time down below. The streetlights that used to be lit had all been turned off these past few days.

"What's that?" Everyone's attention was focused on the brightest spot in the city. Senju took out some dry food and distributed it to everyone. The group ate their food while looking at the lights.

"Delicious," Jinze exclaimed, and the four of them slowly ate their food while enjoying the scenery.

Chapter Forty-Five: The Exchange of Gifts

After a while, Jinze said goodbye, "I'm leaving. This time I'm going north to draw the map of this floor."

Seeing his high spirits, everyone wanted to complain, but they held back and released both cars.

"Jinze, this one is for you," Qianzhi pointed to his car. "You know how to operate it now, right? As long as the lever is there, you can start other things and vehicles. You must remember this well."

"But is it really okay for me to have something so important? I'm fine with it."

"No problem? Where can you go on two legs? Besides, you don't have much food or water left, and we can't give you much more either." Senju looked at the contents of the package, put a box of dry rations on top, and then put a bucket of water on top.

"Kanazawa, please accept it. You've helped us," Chito agreed with Senju's decision. Yuri also came over and handed him the camera. "Here, you've seen it so many times along the way. Consider it a gift."

"Thank you everyone, here's my camera as a thank you gift," Kanazawa said, handing the camera hanging around his neck to Yuri. The two then taught each other how to use it.

After a while, Jinze drove away, leaving the three people behind feeling a little lonely. "Will we ever run into him again?"

"Yes, it will definitely work," Senju replied, and then began to put the things that were originally in the car back in their original places. After a while, he put them away properly.

"Oh, this is the original car. It was so bare before, it gave me quite a fright," Chito said, looking at the car with great care before starting the engine.

“Let’s keep going,” Senju and Yuri said as they sat down in the carriage. “Traveling with a lot of people is nice, and there’s plenty of space around.”

"Hey, Yuri, what are you saying?" Senju took out a piece of bread and waved it in front of her. Yuri grabbed it. "I didn't say anything. Where are we going?"

"Well, let's go to the brightest spot first. What's there?" As Qianhu spoke, the car drove onto the bridge and headed towards the brightest spot.

However, after everyone had been moving forward with great enthusiasm for a while, they all started to yawn. After the excitement subsided, the fatigue of the day also came over them. The two people at the back had already begun to doze off, and the commander at the front was also feeling a bit sleepy.

"I can't go there anymore, let's go there tomorrow. Let's find a place to rest now," Qianhu parked the car next to a building, and the two people in the back also agreed weakly, "Agreed, let's go to sleep now."

The three of them roused themselves and went to the building next door. After finding a room and tidying up, they laid out blankets and went to sleep.

All night, Senju kept having dreams of falling. He felt a little better when he woke up in the morning, but he was even more afraid of heights. After everyone tidied up, they started eating breakfast.

After dinner, Yuri started examining her new camera. Although Kanazawa had taught her some techniques the day before, she had forgotten most of it after a night's sleep. Luckily, everyone had used it before, so even though it looked different, the usage seemed similar.

After going outside, everyone saw a strange statue by the roadside. It was cylindrical with a slightly curved top, and on top of it was a round face tilted upwards. To Thousand Hands, it was clearly a strange, comical face.

Yuri stood next to this comical face, asking Chito to take a picture of her, while Senju watched from the side.

He took out another camera, but then put it back, thinking that one was enough.

"One, two, three, cheese!" With Chitoge's voice, the photo was taken. Yuri also went over to see what the photo looked like.

"Clumsy, don't you think it's a bit too pale?" Yuri was somewhat dissatisfied with the photo.

“It’s probably because the ISO is too high,” she said, then handed the camera to Yuri. “Okay, let’s get going. We should go to that bright spot first.”

“Yes,” Yuri ran from beside the eerie stone pillar to the car, and Senju got in as well, soon becoming drowsy.

Yuri's enthusiasm for photography was reignited by the new camera, and she started taking pictures of her surroundings along the way. However, the photos were all blurry, and when she couldn't figure out why, she woke up Senju, who was sitting next to her.

"What's wrong, Yuri?" Senju asked, a little confused, then a blurry photo appeared in front of her. "It's blurry, what should we do?"

"Didn't Jinze teach you yesterday?"

"Oh, I forgot," Yuri said, feigning embarrassment. Qianhu replied somewhat helplessly, "You can focus by adjusting the dial in front."

“Is this it?” Yuri adjusted the dial in front of her, and the picture became clear. “Oh, here it comes.”

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Senju continued to sit there and doze off. The surrounding roads were all high bridges, and Senju had no interest in appreciating this scenery.

"Oh dear, it's still blurry," Yuri's photos seemed to be of poor quality. "There are so many of these stone statues around here, why is that?"

It seemed that Yuri had seen those strange stone statues again, "and their expressions are somewhat similar to Chihiro's."

"Not at all."

“Look,” Yuri seemed to want Chito to see something, but after Chito answered, Yuri said with some disappointment, “Sigh, it’s all blurred again.”

"Xiaoqian, turn around again."

"I mean, looking around while driving..."

"It's alright, it's alright,"

Then Senju felt the car vibrate, and then something hit him hard on the head, instantly waking him up.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" It seemed that the two people next to him were also affected. After looking up, Senju realized that the culprit was a cylindrical stone statue on the road.

Judging from its appearance, it was clearly broken by Qianhu's car. After stopping, Yuri added fuel to the fire, saying, "Honestly, how can you look to the side while driving?"

As she spoke, Yuri tapped Chito on the head, and Chito turned around and slapped her, taking the camera away. "I guess I should be the one holding the camera."

"Ugh—tsk, Chihiro is such a narrow-minded woman."

Senju glanced at the reckless Yuri, shook his head, and went to the front to move the stone statue away.

"If only Chihiro's heart were as big as that stone pillar."

Thousand Hands looked at the small stone statue in his hand and wanted to complain, but then he noticed that Yuri was talking about a huge stone statue next to them. Although the two statues looked very similar, the one behind was tens of meters tall and had a ring supporting its head.

Chapter 46 Food and Photographs

The place where Senju is now is a bridge passage between two rows of buildings, and the stone statue is on one side of the bridge, extending from an unknown depth below, but Senju and the others can see that the part above the bridge surface is more than ten meters high.
