Offer blocks to the end times

"No, those are the fish I manage. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere," the robot said, its tone carrying an angry warning.

“果

"It is indeed a fish," Chito confirmed that it was a live fish. Senju, standing beside him, was staring at the robot, thinking about how to kill it in one fell swoop. However, the robot's attention was on Yuri, so it did not notice.

Of course, this is also why Yuri's idea is so easy to understand; she kept drooling over the fish inside, and everyone knew what she meant.

"Don't eat it," the robot warned Yuri again. Chito leaned closer. "By the way, the machine is talking, just like the ones I've seen before. Could it be of the same race?"

"What exactly are you?" Yuri asked, leaning closer. Senju replied from behind, "This should be a robot."

"Yes, but I am just a type of robot. I am an autonomous machine responsible for managing this area," it introduced itself to everyone, and then added, "Don't worry, I will not harm you."

Its words reassured Senju and Chito, but Yuri hugged her gun tightly, "Then let's eat the fish!"

"You..." Chito was speechless at Yuri's gluttony, and Senju also looked at Yuri with a bewildered expression.

"Stop," the autonomous machine intervened again, issuing a stern warning to the three. "Normally, when there are external attackers, you can call the security authorities, but..."

Chapter 86 Machines and Water Tanks

"But?" Yuri was curious about the autonomous machine's words, wondering why it had suddenly stopped.

"We can't get in touch with them right now," the self-regulating machine stated frankly, without any intention of hiding anything.

The two people holding weapons relaxed, Senju put away his sword, and Yuri ran to the side of the tank to watch the fish.

Although Yuri put the gun down, she was still somewhat disappointed with the machine. "It's really bad. This won't do."

“Hmm,” Chito was initially somewhat displeased with Yuri’s rude attitude, but then she remembered what had just happened and asked, “The security agency, is that the guy we saw on the way here?”

"That big guy?" Yuri remembered too, and Senju nodded. "He looks like he can fight a lot, it must be him."

“No, those are construction machines that maintain this area,” the autonomous machine refuted everyone’s guess. “The only ones still functioning nearby are me and it.”

It turned its head to look to the other side, and then everyone saw several autonomous machines lying on the side. However, the heads and limbs of these machines were retracted, making them look like a flat steel plate.

From these plate-like machines, you can't see the internal mechanisms at all, let alone imagine that they can move or talk.

Although Qianhu had already seen it once, he was still somewhat amazed, "Is this the technology of the ancients? How exactly was it made?"

“We don’t know either, we didn’t save any information from that time, but there used to be a place here to repair machines, but it’s long since broken down.”

"Oh, I see. No wonder so many of them are broken," Qianhu said, touching the machines with a sigh.

Senju hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senju, do you need me to fix these?"

"Can you fix these too, Senju?" Sento turned to look at Senju, somewhat amazed by Senju's strange abilities.

Thousand Hands nodded, and the autonomous machine next to him spoke up, "Really? To be honest, it's quite difficult for me to operate this area of ​​facilities on my own."

“Yes,” Senju agreed, then assembled the machines. “They’ll be fixed in a while.”

The autonomous machine watched as Senju put the machines away without saying anything. Then, Senju stood up and walked to the side, pulling Yuri, who was standing by the sink drooling over the fish, over. "We won't eat this fish either. Tell us more about the machines."

“Sure, I’ll show you around,” the autonomous machine replied, and then began to walk towards the room next door.

Chito pulled Yuri forward, but Yuri was still not giving up on the fish. "Hey, stop talking, I want to eat that."

"Shut up," Senju said, pulling Yuri along. Even as she was being dragged away, Yuri was still staring intently at the fish, drooling. Senju was speechless at the sight. Did Yuri like to eat rare food? This was the first time they had ever seen a live animal.

After thinking for a moment, Senju leaned close to Yuri's ear and said, "Yuri, how about we trade two grilled fish for this when we get back?"

**)

Yuri's ears twitched, and she immediately switched to an honest expression, turning her head. "Deal!"

After the transaction was completed, Yuri temporarily gave up her desire for the fish, and the three of them followed the machine forward.

After walking for a while, the autonomous machine made a turn and came into a tunnel. However, this tunnel was not made of earth and stone, but of glass, with water and lights above, making it look very colorful from the inside.

The three people were stunned when they entered the tunnel; they never expected there to be such a dreamlike view here.

"Oh~" Yuri exclaimed in amazement. She was very fascinated by the scenery and stared at the water above.

After looking around for a while, Senju sighed, "This place is like an aquarium, except there's only one fish left."

Qianhu also experienced this novel feeling, "Standing here, it's like..."

It feels like being in water.

The three looked on in amazement, and the autonomous machine began to explain, "This is directly below the largest water tank."

"That's great! I want to try soaking in all this water," Yuri said, looking at the water and wanting to go in and try it out.

"Shall we go in?"

"Sigh, is it even possible to do something like that?"

“There is no problem if the water tanks are not in use. There are 102 water tanks in this facility, but only 12 are currently in use and only one is being used.”

"Is the one in use the one we just saw?"

“Yes,” the autonomous machine replied immediately.

However, its words made Chito realize the problem: "That means there are no fish in the other tanks."

"No." After the machine finished speaking, it began to introduce the function of the facility: "This used to be a production facility for large-scale production of edible fish."

“A lot!” Yuri seemed somewhat surprised, wondering exactly how much “a lot” meant.

However, the self-discipline machine shattered her illusions: "But now there's only one left."

“Then…” Yuri’s mouth watered again, completely forgetting the promise of grilled fish from earlier.

"You can't eat it," the autonomous machine casually stopped Yuri's idea, and Chito also tapped her to stop her from doing anything reckless.

As they chatted, they moved forward and, after climbing a flight of stairs, arrived at a huge room. Inside, there was a body of water divided into many pools by walls, and the autonomous machine stopped next to one of the pools.

"Please feel free to use the sinks here," the machine said, and Chito and Yuri began to undress.

However, Yuri quickly stripped naked, while Chito took off her coat, seemingly preparing to take a shower. After Yuri stripped naked, she stood there for a few steps and then rushed into the sink.

On the platform next to them, Chito, Senju, and the autonomous machine were all watching Yuri jump into the water. After a string of bubbles rose to the surface, Yuri finally emerged, struggling but not panicking, and cried out, "I'm almost out of air."

After calling out to Yuri, she sank again. Just as everyone was worried, she rose up from below, swinging her legs and maintaining a steady float on the surface of the water. "Oh, I can float."

"Are you alright?" Chito watched her swim well, but was still a little worried, so he squatted down to watch. Yuri also swam to the side and rested for a while, holding onto the platform next to her.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted," she said, then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, let's eat fish since we're tired."

"No."

“I’ve already told you, that’s not allowed,” Chito tapped Yuri as punishment.

"I was talking about grilled fish!" Yuri said, sounding a little aggrieved. Qianhu tapped her again. "Grilled fish is even worse."

Chapter 87 Strength and Weakness of Adaptability

Feeling wronged, Yuri had no choice but to start moving around in the water. She quickly developed several different poses. Watching her move freely in the water, Senju was a little envious, after all, he was a complete landlubber.

Chito collected the clothes that Yuri had thrown aside, and then took Senju's dirty clothes as well, and started washing them by the water.

Senju took out a fishing rod, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Can I fish here? In these unused water tanks?"

"Sure, you can use any unused sink you like."

After receiving the machine's reply, Senju started fishing in the pond next to him, even though there were no fish in it, only water.

Seeing Senju fishing, Yuri swam to the edge of the pond, stared at it for a while, and then noticed a bubble rising from the side and heading towards the hook. However, when she tried to grab it, she found nothing.

When the bubbles reached the float, the float sank, and Senju lifted the fishing rod. Then the two of them saw a tiny fish swim onto Senju's body and disappear.

This process was repeated over and over. After watching for a while, Yuri lost interest and started swimming around, while Senju persisted and continued fishing.

After washing a few pieces of clothing, Qianhu hung them on the rope next to him and then started washing the rest.

A moment later, Yuri swam up to Chito. Chito was washing clothes and thinking, "Yuri, so the fish we saw back then must have rushed down from here."

"Oh, you mean that delicious thing?" Yuri seemed to remember it too. Although Senju didn't understand why she hadn't forgotten that grilled fish even after eating so many, Senju praised it in her heart, "The bones of that fish were quite nice."

Then Senju discovered that he had caught a bone. Surprised and puzzled, he devoted himself to the great cause of fishing.

Chito continued washing clothes there, but Yuri was somewhat displeased with Chito's behavior. "Wait, don't wash clothes here."

"Oh dear," Chito looked at Yuri in surprise, then heard Yuri say from the water, "The water will get dirty. I'm still swimming, so be careful."

"Why don't you come and help too!" Chito casually tossed the robe he was washing onto her head. The robe originally belonged to Yuri, but Yuri had been lazy.

"No way!" Yuri, whose head was covered by a robe, sank down again and ran away from underneath.

“What about environmental pollution?” the self-regulating machine next to them spoke up, its words catching Qianhu’s attention. The machine then shrank into a box next to them.

Then he continued speaking.

"The Earth was once a giant living organism, but humanity chose independence. They replaced the cycles of air, water, and energy, and built cities that could sustain human life. And our job is to keep the basic production facilities in the cities running as much as possible."

"Do they have to continue even if humans no longer exist?" Qianhu asked, washing clothes and looking at the now deserted city, somewhat puzzled as to why they would continue.

"This is none of our business, just keep going," the autonomous machine replied even more simply, just follow the instructions.

“I see,” Chito said, somewhat understanding. At that moment, Yuri, who was swimming in the pool, waved to the two people beside her. “Hey, Chito and Senju, come in too. It’s very warm and spacious here.”

The two people next to her looked over and saw that she simply moved her legs slightly and maintained her position on the water. Her posture looked like she was lying on a sofa, which made the two of them a little envious.

"Why can that guy swim so freely?" Chito looked at Yuri lying on the water with some resentment. She was now lying in the water in a completely carefree manner.

"It's very adaptable," the machine exclaimed in amazement. Chito glanced at the clothes next to her, which were already washed, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to give it a try. "I'll go in and try it too. Why don't you try it, Senju?"

The person next to him, Thousand Hands, happily agreed. He had just fished out three enchanted bows, one of which had the attribute of infinity, and he wanted to try something else as well.

"Hmm, okay, I'd like to try it out and see if it's like that in the water," Senju decided to see if the current system would be useful for him to move around in the water.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Shou took out a water lily. He had caught several of them when he was fishing before. After he put the leaves on the water, several water lily leaves appeared on the surface of the water.

When Senju released the water lilies, Chito also took off her outer garment, leaving only her underwear underneath. Senju and Yuri glanced at this, thinking that Senju hadn't expected the two of them to have underwear and had assumed they were just wearing robes underneath.

“Why underwear? Why not just take everything off?” Yuri complained, while Chito glanced at the machine lying next to them. “Because there are other people watching.”

"That's a machine."

"That's true," Chito said, still somewhat concerned. Next to him, Senju, dressed in armor, stood on a water lily leaf, as if he were standing on flat ground.

"Is the buoyancy this strong?" Chito was a little confused after seeing this, and tried to enter the water as well. However, she immediately felt that there was nothing beneath her feet and no foothold. She tried to move her legs like Yuri, but it was no use. "Ahhh, my feet can't touch the bottom!"

"Come here, Chito," Yuri said, leading Chito towards the middle of the water. Chito could only watch as her fingers slipped away from the edge one by one, and she panicked. "Ahhh, wait!"

The thousand-household commander, who had been pulled away from the shore, panicked and struggled incessantly, wondering, "What should I do?"
