Chapter Seven: Humans Still Exist in This World

Having acquired so much wood, Senju was finally able to craft various tools and supplies, and was filled with hope for the future. However, she still needed to continue collecting items, so she decided to go and see the animal specimens. After leaving the barren botanical garden, Senju sealed off the area she had entered with concrete blocks.

Arriving at the animal exhibit, she saw giant beasts made of huge animal fossils. Thousand Hands quickly disassembled them into adorable bones. However, looking at so many specimens, Thousand Hands realized that she didn't need them for the time being. She had already collected dozens of bones and didn't need these specimens to contribute yet. But she would still keep a few as souvenirs and for emergencies.

He casually picked up the cow and sheep specimens on the side, but when he looked at them for identification, he found that the two specimens had actually turned into monster eggs. Seeing this, Senju was shocked. His first thought was not surprise but disgust. This must be the last remaining life in the entire animal kingdom.

Not knowing whether the animals after the system modification could reproduce independently, Senju had no intention of releasing them for the time being. Instead, he started selecting from the animal specimens again, and soon picked out a chicken specimen and a horse specimen to put away. Seeing that there were two more animal eggs, Senju decided to try it out when he had time in the future.

The events in the animal section left him momentarily dazed, but he still remembered the several suits of armor he had seen in the artifacts exhibition area. These suits were all very beautiful, inlaid with many jewels. After being dazzled by them, Thousand Hands suddenly realized that he had almost missed a huge treasure. There were many gems here, and both lapis lazuli and diamonds were exactly what he wanted.

With that in mind, Senju began working on the gem-encrusted items. After a while, he had collected a pile of gems, and the surrounding items had become tattered. After sorting through the gems, he realized that only diamonds, emeralds, lapis lazuli, and gold nuggets were recognized. All the other gems were just miscellaneous items. Senju was a little dissatisfied that the rubies were not considered red stones, but he let it go for the sake of the other gems.

All the gems on the ground were collected. These unapproved gems were all piled together and became part of the miscellaneous items. Looking at the several sets of miscellaneous items in the backpack, Senju was quite happy with this setting, because he could pile up many things that the system deemed useless. Among them were some things that Senju felt were necessary.

Seeing that she had everything she needed, Senju began to make a workbench, placed diamonds and wooden sticks on it, and a diamond pick was born. After putting the workbench away, Senju went outside and started working on the statue that had been unshakeable before.

Under the power of the diamond pickaxe, the statue turned into pieces of obsidian. After collecting them, Senju felt that this was a perfect vacation. He spent the whole day doing what he loved most and found many treasures. It was simply perfect.

When Senju came out, he found that it was completely dark outside, with only the streetlights still shining. He got on his bike and slowly made his way home. Along the way, the only lights were the streetlights and Senju's bike headlights. Gradually, the wind and snow began to get stronger, and Senju stood on the pressure plate, hoping to speed up the bike.

After an unknown amount of time, Senju finally arrived at his front door. The lights in front of the door were off, probably due to the wind and snow. He continued driving into the building and found a peculiar vehicle parked inside. The wheels had tracks, but the front resembled a tricycle. Senju felt that he could finally see people again.

However, he was also worried about who the other party was. Could they be a vicious thug? Had his base been destroyed? Senju arrived at the gate of his plantation. The faint light leaking from the crack in the door was so conspicuous in the darkness. He knew that the other party must have discovered this place.

However, before ascertaining the other party's attitude, he didn't want to create any misunderstandings, so he exerted his strength.

He knocked on the door, the deafening sound echoing throughout the entire building, even the sound of the wind and snow outside seemed to subside. However, the person inside seemed to be fast asleep, so Senju had no choice but to continue knocking.

After a while, it seemed that the person inside had finally woken up, and a childish voice rang out, "Wake up quickly, Yu, there's a noise outside, what's outside?"

"..." Then another person named Yu said something that Senju couldn't hear clearly. Then he heard that voice continuing to call for its companion, but the other person still hadn't woken up.

Senju felt a bit cold standing outside, so she quickly shouted, "Who's in my house?" and pushed the door open. In the bright light, a girl in a thick military uniform was slapping another girl's mouth hard. However, Senju noticed that the other girl seemed to be chewing something familiar. When she turned around, she realized that all the wheat she had planted was gone.

Ignoring the two girls, Senju rushed into the field and began searching everywhere. "My wheat! Who took it from me?" After searching carefully, he finally found a seed in the water trough.

She turned around and glared angrily at the two girls. One of them, a blonde, was still asleep, while the other was trembling with fear at the sight of the furious Senju. However, she then took out some green things to calm Senju's anger; those were Senju's wheat seeds.

"We're sorry, we didn't know these were your things. These are things that fell from the plants. We hope you can forgive us."

After hearing the other party's apology and seeing the wheat seeds, Senju relaxed. He took a deep breath and calmed his excited mind, realizing that he had been too agitated, both about discovering the people and the destruction of the wheat.

"It's alright, as long as we have these seeds, we can still grow them. By the way, my name is Senju. Who are you, and where are you from?"

“That’s great! This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a strange plant. My name is Chito, and this is Yuri. We just came up from the city below and were drawn in by the lights at the entrance.”

"Chito and Yuri, that light was meant to be a sign that someone would come looking for you. There's probably no one else like that in this city, so it's nice to meet you."

"Me too, it's great to meet you."

"By the way, we found quite a few things on this trip, so let's celebrate. Did you have anything else when you harvested that wheat?" Senju set up a workbench next to her and began preparing some food.

Chapter Eight: Delicious Bread

“Yes, there is, but Yu ate some of it, so this is all we have.” Qianhu said apologetically, taking out a small bag. Then he asked, “Is this ‘wheat’? What a strange plant. It’s completely different from what’s described in the book.”

“Hmm, this is a special variety I cultivated.” After setting up the workbench, Senju paused for a moment before taking the bag and looking inside. There were still a dozen or so wheat inside, and she had some more on her own. “Since there are three people, I’ll make six.”

Senju placed the wheat on the workbench, and three wheat grains turned into one loaf of bread. After a while, she made six loaves of bread. She handed one of the finished loaves to Chito, who stood there in a daze.

"Here, this is the proper way to eat this wheat." The freshly made bread emitted an enticing aroma, and Chito couldn't help but take it. Yuri, who was sleeping next to him, was also attracted by the aroma and slowly crawled over.

Chito was still a bit dazed when she received the bread. After a while, she came back to her senses from her surprise. She looked at the bread and then at the workbench, gesturing wildly and not knowing what to say. "Is this bread? How is it made? It's completely different from the book. It's a completely different thing."

"Chihiro, what are you holding? It looks delicious." Yuri, awakened by the aroma, immediately saw the bread in Chihiro's hand, and a drool involuntarily dripped from her mouth. However, she immediately noticed Senju beside her, and her expression instantly turned cold. She raised her gun and pointed it at Senju, "Who are you? Why are you here? Answer me now."

Senju was stunned by the sudden situation, his whole body stiffened, and he didn't know what to do. The extreme fear made him lose the ability to think.

"Idiot, stop right now!" Chito went up and delivered a critical hit to Yuri, who then lay down and put down her gun. Chito then apologized to Chito, "I'm sorry, Yuri was just not fully awake."

At this moment, Yuri was still rolling around on the ground, shouting, "That's too much, Chito! But if you give me the delicious food you have, I'll forgive you." After saying that, she sat down and blinked at Chito.

If it weren't for her words, the whole posture would still be quite cute. Half-sitting on the ground, with her index finger in her mouth, she looked resentfully at the bread in her companion's hand, with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth. Unfortunately, Chito was already used to this, and stared at Yuri with a pair of dead fish eyes.

"Oh, Chihiro, that's so mean!" Yuri cried out, pretending to cry. Chihiro sighed and handed her the bread. "Here, let Yuri try some first."

Only then did Senju realize what was happening, his body going limp as he collapsed to the ground. Indeed, humanity's greatest enemy is humanity itself! Luckily, the bread was in the package, otherwise Senju would have looked even more pathetic. Seeing his state, Chito quickly said...

He apologized, "I'm sorry, I'll teach You a lesson later."

"It's nothing, I was just too cowardly. It's the apocalypse, and I'm still so scared." Senju felt extremely ashamed after regaining her senses. She had been alone here for more than ten days without being afraid, but now she had embarrassed herself in front of the two girls. However, seeing that they didn't seem to care, she calmed herself down and handed a piece of bread to Chito. "Here, I have a few more."

Yuri, who had just taken a bite of bread, felt completely blissful. After closing her eyes and savoring the deliciousness for a while, she exclaimed, "Delicious! Chihiro, what is this? Where did you find it?"

“This is ‘bread,’ made by Sento,” Chito replied, then ate some bread herself. A fragrant aroma filled her mouth, and the soft texture was completely different from those compressed grains. “Really, it’s delicious.”

“Right? It’s delicious, isn’t it?” Yuri replied happily when she saw Chito’s enjoyable expression. Then she looked at the bread and then at Chito. “You’re Chito? It’s decided. Now you’re one of us. You’ll make me delicious bread every day.”

Senju looked at him expectantly from the side. Senju gave a wry smile and said perfunctorily, "Alright, alright. By the way, where are you staying now?"

“It’s a promise, you can’t go back on your word,” Yuri looked at Senju with a serious expression, which made him shrink back in fright. Then Yuri happily raised her hands and said, “Senju and I are currently traveling, and our destination is the city at the top. How about that, isn’t that amazing?”

"Really? That's amazing. Did you come up from the city down below? How's it down there? How many people are left?" Senju gave a perfunctory reply before starting to inquire about the situation down below.

"Hmm, down there, it's dark, and we're almost out of food. Chihiro, are there any people down there?" Yuri answered somewhat confusedly, as if she didn't know what was going on down there either.

However, Qianhu was quite knowledgeable. "The energy in the cities below has been exhausted, and food is completely scarce. There was probably a war when we left. After leaving there, you are still the first person we saw."

After hearing what Senju said, Senju immediately patted his chest and promised, "War? Alright, I will definitely travel with you. You must protect me."

“Leave it to me.” Yuri raised her gun and made an aiming motion, but then went back to eating her bread. However, Senju felt a sense of relief seeing Yuri’s skillful movements. He then shook his head vigorously and decided to make a set of equipment first.

Without rushing to eat the bread, Senju placed the iron ingot on the workbench and soon crafted a set of iron equipment. After placing the equipment in the equipment slots, the appearance of Senju appeared. However, when he tried it, he couldn't feel any weight at all. He jumped and found that it didn't affect the ground. It was as if his weight hadn't changed at all, only his appearance had changed.

"Chew, what is this? It's so cool!" Yuri saw the armor circling around him and tapped it with her hand. "It's so cold. Is it made of steel? Doesn't it feel heavy? How did you even get into it?"

"It's not heavy, look." Senju jumped a few times to show that she was perfectly fine. Seeing this, Yuri grabbed her armor and shouted, "Really? I want to try it too!"

Senju then made another set of armor for Yuri, but judging from her expression, the armor seemed very heavy. After looking at it for a while, she had no idea how to put it on. After sitting there struggling for a while, she put on the helmet, but after a while she changed back to the original helmet. "My helmet is definitely the best. These are too heavy and ugly."

Chapter Nine: The Magical Fishing Rod

After trying on the armor a few times, Yuri found it hard, cold, and heavy, not as warm as her own clothes. So she put the whole set of armor on the ground and went back to eating bread. However, Senju didn't want to put the set back in her pack, as it took up too much space. She casually piled the armor against the wall and then started eating bread as well.

The taste of bread was very familiar to Senju, but after being here for many days, he had been eating compressed food with unknown dates. He felt extremely happy after just one bite.

The three of them ate their bread in silence. After a while, Yuri finished eating and saw that the two people next to her hadn't finished yet, so she started to whine, "Chii, I want to eat more. Give me yours."

"No, one is enough for each person. There's already a shortage of food, and Yuri has already eaten her share." Chito gripped the bread in his hand and seriously criticized Yuri.

"Tch, stingy, Senju, give me yours." Seeing that she couldn't get bread from Senju by trying to charm him, Yuri directly asked Senju for some.

Senju thought for a moment and then broke off half of the bread for her. He wanted to keep the bread for later, but after finishing half of the bread, Senju felt unsatisfied and wanted to find something else to eat. However, he immediately saw the bare fields and the stream in the middle.

Upon seeing the flowing water, he had a flash of inspiration. He went to the workbench, placed a stick and a line on it, and made a fishing rod. After getting the fishing rod, Senju went to the water's edge and started fishing.

The two people next to him slowly ate their bread while watching Senju's actions. Senju was the first to ask in confusion, "What is he doing? There's nothing there."

Yuri chewed her bread and answered casually, "Probably some kind of..."

"It's a ritual, a ritual to pray to the water god for food."

"God? Do you also believe in God?" Qianhu was somewhat at a loss for words when faced with this answer.

"Of course! Look, didn't he catch something?" Yuri exclaimed excitedly. Chito looked up and noticed that Senju seemed to be holding something familiar. "A fish?"

Senju was a little nervous at first, but after casting the line, a ripple suddenly appeared on the previously calm and clear water. The ripple went straight for the hook, and when it touched the hook, the float sank instantly. Senju quickly lifted the fishing rod and found a fish with red stripes in his hand. After identification, he realized it was a live salmon.

“Yes, it’s a fish.” Senju said with emotion, handing the fish to Chito. “Let’s grill it and eat it.”

"Can I eat this?" Chito looked at the fish in his hand with some hesitation, and then he saw Yuri run to the ditch and shout, "Oh God, give me food quickly!"

Qianhu grabbed Yuri and dragged her to the electric stove. "Yes, yes, here's some food for you."

"Oh, that's amazing! No wonder you're a god. But if Chito gave it to me, does that mean Chito is a god? Hurry up and give me some food." After hearing Chito's words, Yuri excitedly hugged her waist, only to be tapped by Chito.

"Quiet down, we're about to start. Let me think about how to do it." After saying that, he found a clean steel bar, wiped it, grilled it on the fuel stove, skewered the fish, built a support frame, placed the fuel stove underneath, and grilled the fish on top.

On the other side, Senju continued fishing, but the things he caught were all sorts of strange things. In addition to a few raw salmon and raw fish, there were also clownfish and pufferfish. However, these were also aquatic creatures, so Senju dared not eat them.

Besides these, he also caught two fishing rods, a piece of rotten flesh, a saddle, and a water lily leaf. Looking at the things in his hands, Senju felt he could fish out a world.

Senju, engrossed in fishing, didn't notice that the two people next to her had already prepared the fish and were about to take a bite. However, Senju was still a little worried, "Is this really edible?"

“Of course, let me have a taste first,” Yuri said, watching the fish intently. Chito handed the fish to her. “Be careful, just take a bite first.”

"Aww," Yuri took the fish, opened her mouth wide, took a bite, and then closed her eyes to chew.

"How is it?" Chito looked at Yuri with great interest. Then Yuri opened her eyes, looked at Chito, and said affirmatively, "Delicious, Chito, you should try a bite too."

“Really? I’ll try some too,” Chito said, taking a bite and exclaiming in surprise, “It’s really delicious! Although it tastes different from bread, it’s still really good.”

"I told you so, let me have a bite too." The two of them took turns eating, completely forgetting about Senju who was fishing nearby. After finishing the fish, Yuri stretched and said, "I'm full, let's go to sleep, Senju." Then she lay back down in bed and went to sleep.

"That's true, but why do I feel like I've forgotten something? Let's talk about it tomorrow though." Chito also fell asleep next to Yuri.

Meanwhile, Senju was still engrossed in fishing. After an unknown amount of time, his fishing rod disappeared with a soft thud. Only then did he wake up, and a wave of drowsiness washed over him. He saw that the two people beside him were already asleep, so Senju rolled up his blanket and lay down to sleep as well.

When Senju woke up in the morning, he found that the two people next to him were already awake. They were fiddling with the electric heater next to them. Yuri greeted him when she saw that he was awake, "Oh, you're awake. What's your name again? Hmm, the fish and bread are delicious."

Chito, who was next to her, tapped her on the shoulder. "It's called Senju, right? Remember that! You forgot after eating so much yesterday." Then she looked at Senju and asked, "How do you use this thing? It gets really hot on top. Can you use it to cook things?"

“Sure, I’ll use this to boil water,” Senju said, then put a pot of water in it. The three of them stared at the pot of water, and after a few minutes it boiled. The two people next to them exclaimed in amazement, “Oh, that’s amazing! Let me try it too.”

After saying that, she took out a steel cup and placed it on top. There was some water inside. After a while, the water boiled. The two of them hugged the hot cup and were very happy. Yuri looked at Chito and said, "Chito, take this with you later."

"Hmm, Yu makes a good point." Qianhu nodded repeatedly beside him, while Qianshou was speechless. This was too much of a disregard for me. Looking at the fish in the package, Qianshou decided to make fish soup.

After rummaging through my backpack, I took out a pair of scissors, cleaned the fish, put a small pot on the stove, added water, and threw the fish in.

Chapter Ten: Goodbye to the Robot

Perhaps because these fish were produced by the system, Senju found that he didn't need to remove the internal organs and could put them directly into the pot. However, he didn't know how to stew fish, so he cut them up like meat and put them into the pot to cook.

Senju, watching from the side, asked in confusion, "Senju, what are you doing? Shouldn't fish be grilled?"

Yuri next to her nodded in agreement, "That's right, hurry up and grill the fish!"

"This is also a way of cooking fish; after cooking, this becomes fish soup," Qian Shou answered earnestly.

It was a personal problem, but he himself didn't know what it would turn out like in the end, so he added a piece of pork and then covered it with an iron plate.

"Oh, really? What does it taste like, oh fish?" Yuri started singing expectantly. Chito also looked at the pot, imagining what the contents would taste like.

After a while, it started to boil, and a fragrant aroma gradually wafted out. Thousand Hands was relieved. It seemed that the food produced by the system was delicious without adding salt, which relieved his worries. Otherwise, no one would want to try a pot of smelly and strange soup.

Smelling the delicious aroma, Yuri's mouth watered, and she asked anxiously, "Can we eat now? I'm hungry."
