Offer blocks to the end times

"This is wonderful! Why didn't I think of this before?" Senju said excitedly.

Ishii, standing nearby, seemed somewhat surprised, wondering what Senju was so happy about. "What's so great about it? What's the use of these containers?"

“Hmm, very useful. Your house was made from a converted shipping container, wasn’t it? I also want to try to make a mobile house. It seems credible,” Senju placed the shipping container there. “Let Chito and the others modify it tomorrow. We’re going to install a water source now.”

The placement of the water source is very simple. First, Senju put a few buckets of water in the reservoir, and then the water will flow through the pipes to various locations.

Just when Senju thought he had dealt with the situation more or less, Ishii reminded him, "There's still food. All the food here has been loaded onto that plane. There's no food left in the base."

“Okay, let’s put some here for now and replenish some tomorrow,” Senju followed her to a storage room with shelves, which were probably for storing food. Normally, you have to be careful about insects and small animals when storing food, but they are not here now. The cold temperature can also preserve the food for a long time. Senju put several hundred taro on the shelves.

"Well, that's good. We won't have to worry about supplies for a while," Ishii said, looking at the items and feeling pleased. "That's good. Now we can rest."

After the two returned to Ishii's hut, Ishii did not study the blueprints as usual. Instead, he stared at the blueprints for a while before lying down on the bed. Senju cleaned up the area next to him, placed two wooden planks, laid out a quilt, and lay down on them.

"This is so boring," Ishii thought. After lying down for a while, he couldn't fall asleep; instead, he felt a sense of emptiness from having nothing to do.

Feeling uneasy, he started chatting with the person next to him, "Do you have anything that can help you pass the time?"

"Just killing time. I found some electronic products before, do you recognize them?" Senju took out a few phones and handed them to her. Ishii excitedly accepted them after seeing them.

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be this. I thought they were all destroyed by electromagnetic bombs," she said, turning on the phones with a mix of awkwardness and practice, and then lying there playing with them.

"Have you used it before?" Senju asked curiously, seeing her familiar operation. Ishii, however, stared at the glowing screen and answered Senju's question, "When I was little, I often saw my mother playing with it. Sometimes I would secretly take it out and play with it too. It's very easy to operate."

"Really? Is this interesting?" Senju asked with a hint of envy. Ishii suddenly looked up from the screen and stared at Senju. "Of course it's interesting! Why don't you try it, Senju?"

"Ahem, I don't recognize the words on it," Senju coughed lightly. "If you like it, you can keep it. I don't know how to use it anyway. Also, you can use the lever to recharge the power supply."

“Oh, this power supply can be replenished anytime there is electricity,” Ishii said, playing with it again.

Senju felt a little embarrassed and lay there pretending to be a couch potato. "Well, it's so late, I should go to sleep."

The next day, when Senju woke up, she saw Ishii sleeping soundly on the bed next to her, holding his phone. It seemed he was sleeping even later than when he was working hard.

After packing up the items, Senju went to the base to find some things to modify into container houses. After searching for a while, Senju collected various pieces of furniture, such as containers, beds, tables, and chairs, even though they were all made of iron.

When Senju came out of those warehouses, he saw that Chito and Yuri were already there preparing to leave.

"Xiaoqian, are we leaving today?"

"Yes, I heard from Ishii that this period is a warm season, so we should collect more supplies while it's still not cold."

"Oh, I see. What do you think of this little house made from a shipping container?" Qian pointed to the little house next to it where Qianhu and the others were resting.

"Hmm, that's great. It's a warm and comfortable bed. Why are you asking about this, Senju?"

"I want to build a similar little house to take with me. It would make traveling much more convenient."

"Hey, can we take this with us too?" Yuri asked excitedly, pointing to her little hut. "Take this with us, the bed inside is nice."

"You, those are other people's things, don't just take them."

"What does it matter? Ishii already has one, so this one is just for us," Yuri muttered.

"Ahem, I found a shipping container. Let's modify it and use it as our travel cabin," Senju said, unpacking his things. "We have enough tools and materials here to decorate it however we like."

Chapter Sixty-Six: Preparations Before Departure

"Hmm, that's a really good idea. With this, things will be much more convenient in the future," Qianhu said after looking around, deciding to modify the container today. "Yu, let's start the modification."

“Remodel, remodel!” Yuri cheered from the side, “The bed and the food shelf.”

Seeing that the two had agreed, Senju felt relieved. "Then I'll leave the rest to you. I have a few things I'd like to trouble Ishii with."

After saying that, Senju ran away before the two could react, and Yuri's voice came from behind, "Senju is so cunning!"

Without mentioning how the two modified the shipping container, Senju arrived at Ishii's hut and saw that she had woken up, but was sitting there holding her phone in a daze, seemingly wondering if she was dreaming.

"Are you awake, Ishii?" Senju greeted Ishii, who was still a little dazed, and she slowly came to her senses.

"Hmm, good morning. Are you leaving today?" She sat on the bed, hugging the blanket, looking rather lost in thought. She seemed very lonely.

"No, we'll probably be leaving tomorrow. Didn't we say yesterday that we were going to the food production facility to collect some food today? Chito and Yuri are also renovating the cabin."

"Is that so? Then I'll go with you there later, by plane," Ishii adjusted his glasses, his expression improving.

"Hmm, I'll go collect some taro later, but let's have breakfast first. I've just found a new ingredient."

"Really? That's great." After a moment of silence, Ishii got off the bed, his expression becoming indifferent.

Senju then went out to prepare breakfast, but before that, he went to Hell to collect a lot of lava to make obsidian, and also collected some mushrooms to make soup.

Although it took a long time inside, it was only a moment outside. When Senju returned, she saw Chito and the others still discussing how to arrange the bed and other things, as if they hadn't made any plans yet.

Senju started making mushroom soup nearby. After adding water, mushrooms, and salt, he put the pot on the electric stove to cook. Of course, ordinary mushrooms are not eaten this way, but the mushrooms that Senju obtained made a very delicious soup, which should be due to the system. But it's much more convenient this way.

After setting the mushroom soup aside to simmer, Senju watched the two men arrange the ingredients next to the container.

Judging from their manner, it seemed they had planned to arrange the placement of the furniture.

"Put these two beds here, the shelves over here as bookshelves and food shelves, and the table and chairs over here," Qianhu calculated the area inside.

However, Yuri excitedly offered her suggestion, "Chihiro, let's install a bathtub here, so we can take a bath."

“I’m telling you, there’s not much space here. Although installing a small bathtub is no problem, there’s no hot water outside,” Chito also wanted to take hot baths more often, but hot water couldn’t always be available outside.

"Hot water, I can prepare it. I have some hellrock that can keep the fire burning, but it's about the size of a chair, so I need a place to put it, and I also need a big enough pot to boil the water."

"Hmm, is there a way? Let's install a water heater here, with an iron basin on it for boiling water, and a small bathtub here for bathing." After thinking for a while, Qianhu marked the locations on the side.

"That should be fine, but you still need to be careful to keep warm," Senju was still a little worried. Although the flames could be kept burning inside, there still needed to be some insulation measures.

"Hmm, that's a problem too. Let's install some insulation material inside. We happen to have some in the warehouse." Chito took out his diary and wrote it all down. Senju looked at it and found a simple planning diagram drawn on it.

"Alright, let's deal with the remaining issues while we're installing. It's breakfast time now, and I've prepared a new dish that's very delicious," Senju said, glancing at the mushroom soup that was already cooked before inviting everyone to breakfast.

Yuri was initially delighted to hear about food, but hesitated when she saw what was in the pot. However, she gritted her teeth, scooped up a little with a spoon, tasted it, and her expression immediately brightened. "Delicious! What are these?"

"These are the mushrooms you ate, but they'd be better in soup. Chihiro, why don't you go and invite Ishii to eat with us?"

"Okay," Chito said, then went to the small hut next door to call Ishii for dinner. Senju also divided the mushroom soup into several cups and placed them on the table. A moment later, Chito brought Ishii over.

After everyone was seated, Senju gave each person a piece of bread. After all, other dry food didn't go well with the mushroom soup. The four of them ate bread and drank mushroom soup. Yuri still liked to make a lot of noise while eating, and the lively atmosphere made everyone forget that they were about to part ways.

Although the food was delicious, one breakfast wasn't much. After everyone finished eating, they started their work for the day.

Chito and Yuri brought the welding equipment from where the airplane was originally manufactured, and then went to look for suitable parts and items to weld onto it.

Watching their busy figures, Senju also decided to harvest some taro now, since she didn't know if there would be any food left in the future, so she might as well collect as much as possible now.

"Ishii, let's go too, let's collect some taro while we can," Senju said to Ishii beside her, glancing at the portal next to them.

"Hmm, let's go now. We can check on how Chito and the others are doing with the modifications when we get back."

The two left the base. In the fields outside, the wheat was not yet ripe, so Senju and Ishii took a helicopter to the food production facility.

After passing through a long pipe, the two arrived at the place where the taro grew. They harvested all the taro with scissors, and Senju put all the taro into an empty container. There were probably several thousand taro in the container, enough for the three of them to eat for a long time.

After harvesting, Senju sprinkled bone meal on the taro, and it slowly grew back. However, Senju ignored it and went to an open space to conduct an experiment. Ishii asked him for some levers and then went to the place where he had made sweets yesterday to do something.

Using the property that magma turns into obsidian when placed in water, Senju slowly built a portal to hell. He wanted to confirm whether he could find a portal back to the base from there, and whether the portal in hell would send him to the portal on the other side of the base.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: An Unexpected Discovery

After spending some time, Senju finally installed the portal, and then he went to find Ishii to tell her so she wouldn't worry if she couldn't find him later.

After searching for a while, Senju heard the sound of machinery outside. Following the sound, Senju found her at the place where she had made the sweets yesterday. She was trying to start up the other machines, and several of them were already in operation.

Because the machine was too noisy, Senju walked over to her before greeting her, "Ishii, what are you doing?"

"Wow, that startled me. It was Senju!" Ishii shuddered and turned around before letting out a sigh of relief. "I want to try to get these machines running. If I can, I'd also like to produce a batch of military rations for storage."

"I see. Are these machines still usable?"

"They are mostly operational. Although there are some minor issues, they do not affect production. I also noticed that these machines require very little human intervention; one person can easily operate them."

"Oh, that's good. By the way, Ishii, I want to do an experiment, which might require me to return to the base. If I don't come back soon, it means I'm at the base."

"What kind of experiment? I also..."

"Let's observe," Ishii said, somewhat puzzled, wanting to know what kind of experiment Senju was conducting.

“Okay, so it’s about the experiment on the teleportation portal. I’ll see if I should close the portal based on the results,” Senju then explained the purpose of her experiment to Ishii, who had also become somewhat interested in the experiment.

After Senju entered the portal, he found that the outside was different from what he had seen before. There was a dark red building next to him, which seemed to lead to the Hellrock above. There was also a lava flow on one side of the building. Senju carefully dodged the lava and used his iron pickaxe to dig into the building, trying to see what was inside.

After digging for a while, he discovered that it was a solid structure. He began to dig upwards, and after a while, Thousand Hands obtained a pile of hell bricks. He also came down to the inside of the structure and carefully looked around before discovering a passage leading forward. This must be the Hell Castle.

Senju looked at the roads and was afraid of getting lost, so he stuck torches by the roadside and continued forward. Originally, he only wanted to find some hell warts, but after walking straight ahead for a while, he saw a little light on the steps leading up ahead.

Thousand Hands took out his gun and prepared himself, then slowly approached to see what kind of monster it was. However, upon getting closer, he realized that it was actually a monster spawner, but no monsters appeared around it.

After looking at the monster spawner for a while, Thousand Hands became excited. He could now create animals, and since he had one, he could create more in other places. However, he wondered what kind of animals to put in it and whether they could survive there. Thousand Hands looked at the four monster eggs in his inventory and fell into deep thought.

It was only then that he realized he had been too cautious. He had only found four monster eggs in the treasure vault: cow, horse, sheep, and chicken. He could rule out the horse first, since cows could produce milk, sheep could produce wool, and chickens could produce eggs. Thousand Hands was caught in a dilemma.

In the end, he found that cows were the most useful; their milk could remove abnormal conditions, which was very important for travel, while wool and eggs were less important.

Thinking this, Senju put the cow in, and a spinning little cow appeared in the monster spawner. Then, several cows appeared in the air next to it. These cows were the same shape as those in the game, all square.

After thinking for a moment, Thousand Hands took out an enchanted bow to collect some beef and leather, but before that, he needed to block off the surrounding area to prevent the cows from escaping.

Looking at these leisurely cows, Senju felt a bit strange. The surrounding environment was quite eerie, and there was someone with ill intentions standing nearby. Why didn't they react?

After thinking for a moment, he decided to collect some milk first. When the iron bucket approached the cow, the words that appeared next to it gave Senju a feeling of being in a game, and the milk could be obtained continuously.

After senju tasted it, he discovered that it was just ordinary pure milk. Of course, senju didn't know what milk originally tasted like, but it tasted just like the packaged pure milk you buy in the market.

Senju wanted to complain a bit. Why wasn't it yogurt flavored? Wouldn't that taste better? He put the collected milk into the bucket that was originally for water, intending to give it to Ishii as a gift. He also planned to catch a few cows for her, but he didn't know what they ate. Judging from their appearance, they probably didn't even need to eat air.

After collecting several buckets of milk, the cows here became very crowded, and cows kept jumping out of the monster spawner. Thousand Hands stood next to them and started hunting.

The burning arrows glowed with fire, and after hitting the cow, it ran a few steps and disappeared, leaving only a few pieces of cooked beef, leather, and experience orbs on the ground. Thousand Hands kept shooting arrows nearby, and the infinite attribute ensured a constant supply of arrows.

He was initially worried that he was killing too fast, but after a while he realized that his speed was not as fast as the monster spawner. After a while, he collected a lot of cooked beef and leather, although the cooked beef looked more like beef jerky.

After an unknown amount of time, Thousand Hands filled the container with beef jerky and then stopped. His level had risen to 42. He then tried to lure the cows to the portal to see if he could get them out.

Thousand Hands returned along the same path, temporarily sealing off the side roads with hellfire, leaving only one path leading to the portal. Then he took out a stalk of wheat, and a herd of cattle rushed towards him. Thousand Hands was so frightened that he turned and ran, then lunged into the portal as the herd arrived.

After a brief fluctuation, Senju noticed that Ishii was standing next to him. It seemed that he hadn't been teleported to the base. Senju breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the teleportation portals were all pre-assigned. If he had been teleported to the base, it would have been troublesome. He wouldn't dare to use the teleportation portal casually in the future.

"Hmm? You've been there?" Ishii asked, noticing Senju suddenly lost in thought. "How's the experiment going?"

"Hmm, the experiment results are not bad, but the biggest gain is something else," Senju said nervously, staring at the portal, hoping that a cow would be 'lucky' enough to come here, but after a while, no one came out.

"It seems those cows won't be coming out. What a pity," Senju said with some disappointment. But there's nothing for them to eat here anyway, so let them roam around.
