Offer blocks to the end times

"Right in front of you."

"before?"

“These are the aircraft blueprints,” Ishii pointed to a blueprint on the wall. “I’ve collected all the blueprints scattered throughout the base’s warehouses, from the earliest human models to technologies we have no idea about. This base might even be responsible for storing these technologies; it’s practically a history of the development of flight technology.”

The three people beside him stared blankly at the blueprints. Senju recognized early aircraft with biplane wings, modern large aircraft, and bombers among them.

There were also some oddly shaped airplanes.

Finally, Ishii looked at the top blueprint, whose shape was almost identical to the airplane outside. "It referenced many different technologies, and the airplane that was manufactured is just like that one."

“So that plane was Ishii’s original design,” Yuri concluded, leaving Chito somewhat speechless. “I still feel a little worried.”

"I feel like the plane is going to crash," Yuri said, taking a bite of taro. Her words were anything but pleasant, but Ishii didn't take it to heart and offered an explanation instead.

"Because the parts needed were all pieced together from various sources, there's no other way." After a pause, she said with some helplessness, "And there's not much time left."

"You mean the food?"

"Food is also an option, but if we miss this warm period without snow and wind, we probably won't have a second chance to take off."

“But if we fail, that would be a dead end,” Chito said with some fear. Yuri didn’t understand Chito’s feelings. “Why is Chito so scared?”

“But if we can’t go anywhere, that’s true despair,” Ishii stared seriously at Chito, “and we can only die with this city.”

The three people beside him fell silent for a moment, quietly finished their food, and Ishii got up to see them out.

"Let's just sleep here for now. You can use the container next door. But kid, do you want to sleep with me, or with the others?"

“Senju, why don’t you sleep with me? It’ll be two people,” Yuri said somewhat naively. Chito next to her nodded repeatedly, leaving Ishii, who had been joking, speechless.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Stone That Opens the Door

"Sigh, what a bunch of kids. Let him sleep here for now. I still need to work for a while tonight," Ishii said to Senju after escorting the two to the next room. "Would you like to take a shower? There's still hot water."

“Okay,” Senju agreed, and Ishii led him to the bathroom. “There are only some of my clothes here, so you can wear these for now.”

“It’s alright, I brought my clothes with me,” Senju said, tapping his armor.

"Why do you keep wearing it? Don't you feel it's heavy?"

"It's not heavy. The main thing is that these things can improve my defensive capabilities."

"Really? But don't wear a full suit of armor when you go to sleep later," Ishii said before leaving.

After taking a shower, Senju returned to the container house and found that Ishii had turned off the ceiling light and turned on the desk lamp, getting seriously into his work.

After watching for a while, Senju noticed that she was still looking at the blueprints. Unable to resist the temptation of the bed, he lay down in bed. The long-lost feeling intoxicated him. His earlier thought of building his own wooden plank to sleep was so stupid. This is the proper place for humans to sleep.

After a while, Senju drifted off to sleep, vaguely hearing sounds from next door.

"Xiaoqian, have you ever thought about what the outside of the city is like?"

"I never imagined that I wouldn't even know what this city looks like."

Will Ishii find out?

"It's hard to say, but it's true that staying here will only lead to death."

As the sound faded, Senju lost consciousness.

The next day, when he woke up, he saw Ishii slumped over a table, the light still on, as if she had been working all night. When Senju helped her to bed and covered her with a blanket, she was still asleep.

Following the instructions she had seen yesterday, Qian Shou went outside. It was another sunny day. After observing the wheat for a while and finding no problems, Qian Shou happily went back.

When Senju returned, he heard a commotion coming from the containers next door. Then Chito and Yuri came out yawning, greeted Senju, and slowly walked over. A while later, Ishii also came out.

"Good morning, you're up early! But the breakfast isn't ready yet. Would you like to come and help?" Ishii said, heading towards the building on the other side.

"As for food, let me prepare breakfast. Even though we've had food production sites before, it'll still be a lot of work for four people. Consider this a thank you gift to make up for my mistake."

"Alright then, actually the food reserves in the base aren't very high either. I was a little worried about food shortages, but I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what kind of food they'll have."

"Don't worry, it's not military rations or dry food, it's real food."

"Really? That sounds amazing! I'll go find something over there first. Can we eat later?"

"Of course." After saying that, Senju parted ways with Ishii. Ishii went to the other side, while Senju stayed here to think about what kind of food to make.

In the end, Senju decided to make fish soup, which would be perfect with grilled fish and bread. So he started making fish soup.

After a while, Chito and Yuri came out from the side looking refreshed, showing no signs of their earlier dazed state. When they saw Chito cooking something, they came over to greet them.

"Hey, Senju, what are you cooking? Is it fish soup?" Yuri guessed after smelling it.

"It really is fish soup. Breakfast also includes bread and grilled fish."

“Yay, that’s great!” Yuri raised her hand in celebration.

"Is this much alright?" Qianhu asked with some concern, then...

Yuri hugged her and said, "Chii, you need to be more broad-minded. Don't be a narrow-minded woman."

"Tch, how dare a mere Yuri say that?" Chito turned around and started teasing Yuri.

"It's alright, I've started planting again up there." However, neither of them heard what Senju said.

After a while, Ishii returned. After looking at the food that Senju had made, she pulled out a table and a few stools from the side. Chito and Yuri also took out their usual tableware from their backpacks.

"It's ready," Senju said, glancing at the boiling fish soup before turning off the lever next to her and placing the pot on the table. "Everyone, sit down, dinner's ready."

The three of them sat down at the table without being told to, and then Senju gave each of them a bowl of fish soup, a grilled fish, and a piece of bread.

"I haven't seen these in so long," Ishii said, seemingly nostalgic, as he slowly began to eat. The three people beside him also quietly enjoyed their delicious breakfast.

After breakfast, Ishii handed Senju a black stone. "Flint. This was originally on an old machine. Hopefully, it will still be useful."

Senju took the stones and put them in his bag. He then noticed that he had three extra flints. He quickly crafted a flint and steel, held it in his hand, and said, "Hmm, useful. Now it's time to go and see that world over there."

"Really? That's great! If possible, I'd like to go see that world too," Ishii said calmly, as always.

Although Ishii said that, Senju is not planning to go to Hell yet, because he knows how dangerous it is inside. Going in without proper equipment would be suicide. However, for now, he can only obtain some things by fishing.

However, the more urgently he needed it, the less likely it was to appear. Thousand Hands only managed to catch fish and a few odds and ends. After dozens of attempts, he finally obtained an enchanted book. The attributes dazzled him: Fire Protection 3, Fall Protection 4, Undead Slayer 4. It was practically designed for Hell difficulty.

However, he still wanted to get an enchanted book that could resist burning before going, but his luck had run out this time. He decided to wait a few hours before starting. He chuckled to himself for a while while looking at the enchanted book, and then he saw the enchanted bow next to him. Only then did he remember that he could make arrows.

After taking out the workbench and making an arrow, Senju ran to the side to watch a few people work. Although Senju looked two years older than Sento and the others, she was no match for them in operating these machines. Seeing how skilled they were at using various tools, Senju decided not to interfere.

A moment later, Qianhu arrived with a pile of parts. Yuri, standing beside him, looked at the plane with some admiration, "It's huge! Is it all made by one person?"

"Because we prioritize range," Ishii said excitedly, "with an extra fuel tank, it should be able to fly 2000 kilometers."

"2000 kilometers? Is that far?" Yuri exclaimed in surprise, then looked puzzled.

The commander next to him understood the distance: "It's extremely far."

“Yes, 2000 kilometers, two million meters, Yuri’s height…” Senju decided to give up explaining.

After watching the three of them busy for a while, it was noon. Ishii served everyone taro, and the four of them sat down to eat.

During the meal, Yuri's mind started working, and she asked the question that had just come to mind, "What's the view like from the sky?"

"Would you like to sit? I'm sorry, but only one person can sit here," Ishii said apologetically.

“I really want to sit here,” Yuri said expectantly, but Chito looked frightened. “I don’t want to at all.”

Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Gift from Hell

After eating for a while, Ishii began to talk about the progress of the aircraft's production: "After adjusting the controls, the next step is to install the main wings."

Then Senju watched the three of them finish eating and start working. Senju wanted to help, but found that she was not as strong as Yuri, who was carrying heavy parts around. She was not as skilled as Chito, who was very proficient in welding and cutting.

Senju felt a wave of discouragement, so he fished nearby while watching a few people work, observing them install various parts and adjust different switches in the engine room.

During this time, Thousand Hands acquired a bunch of fish and a few useless items, as well as an enchantment book called 'Fortune 3', leaving Thousand Hands speechless. Was this supposed to increase luck? After thinking for a moment, he spent some experience to enchant his helmet, and also enchanted his armor and pants.

After some time, Chito began to install the huge wings piece by piece, and with the help of the crane above, Chito and her team installed the wings piece by piece.

Time passed quickly, and it was evening again. However, the work was not yet finished, so the three decided to continue tomorrow. Senju put away his fishing rod, but he was speechless about the enchantment book he had obtained this time: Sharpness 4, Bait 3. Would using this on a sword attract monsters? Senju had some doubts.

Senju offered everyone bread and grilled fish as a treat. After the meal, he announced his decision: "Everyone, I'm planning to go and see a certain place."

"Senju, where are you going?" Chito and Yuri looked at Senju with concern.

"Yes, I want to go to hell."

"Hell? Is Senju going to die?" Yuri touched Senju's forehead worriedly, as if to check if he was sick.

"No, no, no, not that hell, but..."

It's another space. Now that I've finally gathered all the items, I want to go take a look.

"Senju, are you really okay? But hell and all that..." Senju was terrified.

"Oh, can we go in now? Let me go and have a look too," said Ishii, who already knew this.

"Don't worry, my equipment is perfectly fine now. Let me go over and take a look first," said Senju, who then created a portal next to him.

After lighting it with a flint, a purple light screen appeared. Yuri wanted to touch it, but Chito stopped her.

"Wait for my good news," then Senju glanced at the three of them before disappearing inside.

After a ripple-like movement in the scene before him, Senju found himself in a red world. He raised his gun and looked around for a while, feeling both disheartened and relieved.

He was both disappointed and relieved that there were no monsters around. It seemed that the entire world only had one creature, the Thousand Hands. The reason he was so eager to come here was to confirm his thoughts; he wanted to see if there were any monsters in the original attached world.

However, it seems there isn't any now, which dashed his last hope. But it also relieved him; it's so good not to have to fight monsters in reality. After looking at the nearby blocks, Thousand Hands decided to dig some up as gifts to take back with him.

Thousand Hands dug for a while and walked around, getting a bunch of hellrock, soul sand and hell quartz. Then he saw some mushrooms and collected some as souvenirs.

After walking for a while, he came to the edge of the ground, where there was a patch of gravel blocks. Thousand Hands went up and collected them all, getting 35 gravel blocks and 5 flint. Then he saw from the edge that there was a lava pool below, with some fiery red blocks around it.

After thinking for a moment, Senju dug a downward staircase and arrived at the edge of the lava pool. A wave of heat hit him. Senju tried to take out a bucket of water and put it out, but found that there was no water nearby. Senju had no choice but to give up the experiment and took out several iron buckets to fill with lava.

After he finished installing it, he realized that he had come to the right place. With lava, he could create cobblestone infinitely, and it could also be used as fuel to make obsidian. It had many uses.

Then he became interested in the bright blocks next to him, because they looked like lava. After carefully collecting a few, he returned the way he came.

After another ripple, Senju saw that the scene in front of him had transformed into the base, and a puzzled voice came from behind, "Huh?"

Thousand Hands turned around and saw that the three of them were on the other side of the portal, but their expressions were a little strange. Thousand Hands was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you guys? I'm back safely."

“Huh, what did Senju do again? Didn’t you just skip over it? I can do that too,” Yuri said, then rushed toward the light screen and came out from the other side. “That’s how it is.”

"Wait, I'm a little confused," Senju stopped Yuri from crawling around and asked the two people next to her, "How long have I been gone?"

"Leave? Senju, you've never left," Sento said, somewhat puzzled.
