Offer blocks to the end times

“Like this, swing your legs and you’ll float,” Yuri instructed Chito, then let go and let her swim on her own.

However, Chito clearly didn't understand her good intentions and started struggling, "Hey, don't let go!"

"It's okay, you'll be fine soon," Yuri said, watching Chito struggle in the water, assuming that she would learn quickly, just like herself.

The robot next to it also offered guidance, "Take a deep breath, relax, and you'll float."

Seeing Chito's panicked and struggling appearance, Senju knew it was dangerous, so she placed a water lily nearby and went over. "Chito, do you need help?"

"Yes, ah," just when everyone thought she could hold on a little longer, Chito had already sunk, leaving the two people next to her dumbfounded.

Chito, who had sunk into the water, opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by water. For some reason, he felt calm and remembered the fish he had eaten and the dream in which he was eaten by fish. He felt himself sinking deeper and deeper.

Chapter 88 Evolution and Food

The two people next to him saw that Senju hadn't shown his face after a while, so they immediately started to rescue him. Senju jumped down without thinking too much.

However, while in the air, Senju suddenly remembered that he couldn't swim, so he sank immediately after entering the water. Just as he was about to struggle, a string of bubbles appeared in front of him, which reassured him. Moreover, he didn't feel any choking sensation, so he was probably fine until the bubbles disappeared.

Knowing that everything was alright, Senju quickly sank to the side next to Chito. Yuri also swam down from the side, and the two of them grabbed Chito's arm and swam upwards. However, Yuri relied on the movement of her legs, while Senju relied on the system's ability, but it also looked like swimming.

"Ha!" The three of them leaped out of the water, creating a splash. Yuri supported Chito on the surface of the water, while Senju jumped out and then sank back in, then jumped out again, leaving Yuri a little dumbfounded. However, Senju seemed to be fine, so she looked at Chito in her arms.

"Are you alright?" Chito was now floating on the water, still dazed. Yuri was keeping her balanced, and the light from above shone on her eyes. She couldn't help but recall the machine's words, "In the past, Earth was a giant living organism."

"So what's it like now?" Floating

The thousand households there were completely bewildered.

After spending some time, Senju climbed back onto the water lily and only relaxed when he saw that Chito and Yuri were both alright.

However, after Chito fully regained consciousness, she started struggling again, so Senju had to give her a water lily leaf to hold onto while swimming.

Senju thought his armor would be dry after he came ashore, and that was indeed the case. However, he forgot that his clothes didn't have that feature, and they were all soaked. Senju had no choice but to take out a few pieces of clothing and run to the shore to change.

While changing clothes, Senju saw the clothes hanging to dry nearby and prepared a set of clothes for the two people in the water as well.

Watching the two swim in the water, Senju began to process the enchanted bow he had just obtained. After all, a bow without the infinite attribute would be a waste of arrows. He combined the several enchanted bows he had just fished up with an iron felt to create one, which then had more attributes: Infinity 1, Strength 3, Knockback 2, and Durability 3.

Thousand Hands used the enchanted bow and the other enchanted bow with the burning effect as usable weapons. After synthesizing the bow, he started repairing the autonomous machines. He stopped after repairing five machines and planned to take them out again when he left.

After soaking in the water for a while, the two came out, dried themselves off, and put on the clothes that Senju had prepared for them. Although the clothes were a bit too big and didn't fit them perfectly.

After getting dressed, everyone felt a bit hungry. Judging by the time, it should be evening now. However, the space here was a bit small, and it was inconvenient to take out the container house. So, everyone sat down next to the fish tank and took out some dry food to eat.

The autonomous machine also took out an iron bucket from the side and used its mechanical arm to grab fish food to feed the fish. Everyone ate their dry food while watching the fish jump out of the water to catch the food.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Everyone wanted to applaud; they hadn't realized the fish had this skill.

“Normally, these kinds of fish don’t jump out of the water. This is some kind of sudden mutation,” the autonomous machine explained while feeding the fish.

"A sudden mutation?" Qianhu was somewhat puzzled.

"It's caused by the incorrect transmission of commands, which is a bug, although this is also one of the sources of evolution."

Although the machine speaks very clearly, many of its words are incomprehensible to modern people. Qianhu is one such person, saying, "What the machine says is so hard to understand."

"Evolution, mutation, natural selection, and things like that," Senju understood why the fish was able to jump out—because the food was right outside.

"Does Senju know what evolution is? What is sudden mutation?" Sento asked after hearing Senju's words.

"Evolution, in ancient times, there were only some single-celled animals on Earth. Sometimes these single-celled animals would undergo a change and become another kind of organism. The process of those single-celled animals changing step by step until we humans is an evolution, and the whole process lasted for hundreds of millions of years."

"Single-celled organism? But hundreds of millions of years is a really long time," Qianhu was confused. She didn't understand many of the terms, and she only knew that hundreds of millions of years was a very long time, but she didn't know exactly how long it was.

"Biology is very complex. I'll tell you what I know later," Senju thought for a moment and then ended the topic. After all, it's difficult to understand certain things without the corresponding concepts and knowledge.

"I really want to grill them," Yuri said, having finished her food while the two were discussing academic matters. She then leaned over the edge of the pool, drooling over the fish inside.

"I said no," Chito put aside his previous words and stopped Yuri's violence.

However, Yuri became interested in the autonomous machine's actions. "Hey, can I try that one too?"

"Feeding? Sure," the machine handed the metal bucket to Yuri, who was pleasantly surprised. "Really? That's great!"

"There are 5 pellets left today," the machine reminded Yuri of the feeding amount. Then she took out a pellet from the machine. Senju thought Yuri would try it, but Yuri didn't do so at all.

"Hey," Yuri picked up the fish food and threw it into the water. The fish jumped out of the water, caught the food in one gulp, and then swam to the side to wait for the next food.

Seeing the fish swim over, Yuri was very excited and, drooling, said to the fish, "Can we become friends?"

“Don’t befriend predators,” Chito complained from behind, but Yuri didn’t hear him at all, her attention was entirely on the fish. “I really want to take you on a trip.”

"You're all drooling," Chito remarked, glancing at Yuri's drool. Then, everyone felt a wave of exhaustion, and Chito yawned as well. "I'm really tired today."

Seemingly infected by Chito's actions, Senju also felt a bit sleepy, but the surrounding space was a bit small. "Where should I go to sleep?"

"You can sleep under that pipe over there; it's filled with warm water," the machine pointed to the pipe next to it. After looking at it, Senju noticed a gap between the two pipes and touched it, finding that it was warm inside.

Chito and Yuri also tried it and found that it was warm down there. Although it wasn't as warm as a bed, it was much more comfortable than where they used to sleep. After moving their backpacks over, Chito laid out a few blankets in the middle of the pipe as a place to rest.

Nine Chapters: Primitive Encounters with the Future

After finding a place to sleep, Yuri went in and out to try it out. "It really is warm."

Qian then asked a question that the autonomous machine had been concerned about: "I've been thinking about this before, you really seem like a living person, even though you're just a robot."

"In order to enable us to communicate with humans, we are equipped with a capability called 'empathy'."

"What is empathy?" Yuri asked, looking down from the pipe.

"If you are happy, I will be happy too."

“I see,” the three of them lay down on the blanket in the middle of the pipe, then covered themselves with another blanket. The autonomous machine outside also retracted its limbs and head and began standby.

In the middle of the pipe, Chito and Yuri slept together in each other's arms, while Senju and the others lay head to head on the other side.

"It's so warm," the warmth around them made all three of them sleepy, and they slowly fell asleep inside.

They didn't know how long they had been asleep when they heard a series of tremors outside. The fish in the nearby tank sensed it and began to swim frantically in the water, while the three of them were still fast asleep.

However, as the vibrations increased, some debris fell down, waking Chito. Still half-asleep, Chito forgot that he was sleeping under a pipe. He looked up and bumped into the pipe above, immediately waking up completely.

"Ouch!" Just as Qianhu clutched his head and cried out in pain, a loud crash came from the wall next to him, and a huge robot emerged from it—the same construction machine they had seen before.

Thousand Hands was also awakened by the noise, and then he realized that the entrance he had just created was not far from him, which made him feel a sense of fear and anger.

"Hey, Yuri, wake up!" Seeing that Senju had woken up, Chito quickly woke up Yuri, who was still talking in her sleep. After talking in her sleep for a while, Yuri finally woke up from her sweet dream.

The three of them poked their heads out from the middle of the pipe and looked up. They saw that the autonomous machine next to them had also stood up, and then they saw that the large robot had started working upwards, with sparks constantly falling down from there.

"Oh, it's that big robot," Yuri recognized it after taking a look, but everyone still didn't understand its movements. "Why is it here?"

"It seems like they're going to dismantle the current facility," the autonomous machine replied, with sparks constantly falling into the water tank beside it.

"Why?" Everyone was a little confused, but the self-regulating machine answered easily, "I don't know either, but in order to ensure the reserve of materials, we need to dismantle some useless facilities. I'll go ask."

"Can you talk to it?" Qianhu asked with some doubt, but the autonomous machine did not answer and walked towards the construction machinery.

Seemingly receiving a signal from the autonomous machine, the construction machinery stopped working and turned its head to face the machine. The lights on both of them began to flash incessantly, as if they were having a heated exchange.

After the three people climbed out from the middle of the pipe, they saw that the two machines were still arguing. The flickering lights were unpredictable, but they could still sense the atmosphere. "Are they arguing?"

A moment later, the construction machinery turned its head back, and the autonomous machine also returned. Yuri asked nervously, "So, what did it say?"

"Yes, it said it wanted to dismantle the facility. Although I suggested it stop operations, it did not accept."

"Useless thing," Yuri suddenly snapped, "Then the fish would just be..."

As they were talking, two more steel plates collapsed from the wall next to them. The autonomous machine remained calm and continued with the intelligence it had just received: "The list of demolished facilities includes almost all the facilities in the vicinity. It is likely that a fatal bug has been created in the city."

"Bug... Is this also one of the sources of evolution?" Chito looked at what was happening in front of him, somewhat incredulous.

"If the new wave of creation brought about by destruction is also evolution."

The three of them were silent for a moment, and then they saw pebbles falling into the tank where there were still fish.

“Hey everyone, let’s go save that fish,” Yuri suddenly decided after watching for a while. Chito next to her was surprised, but Chito was very happy and took out an enchanted bow.

"But what should we do?" Qianhu agreed but couldn't find a solution. The self-regulating machine, however, had a proposal: "I can't do it, but you might be able to."

Just as the two were about to act, Senju raised his bow. "No need for all that trouble, just kill it."

"Even so, is the bow in your hand really useful?" Qianhu had some doubts, as it was clearly incapable of damaging machinery.

"Who knows?" Senju pulled back the bow with all his might, and an arrow appeared on it. After aiming, he shot it at the construction machinery. When the small wooden arrow hit the huge machine, the construction machinery seemed to be hit by a giant hammer. It flew a distance and fell to the ground.

"Is this for real?" The two women who were rushing to take the clothes off the clothesline were very surprised when they saw this scene. They had originally planned to use explosives to deal with the machine, but they never expected that the bow and arrow would be so powerful.

However, Senju knew this was an enchantment effect on the bow, granting strength and knockback. Seeing the construction machinery struggling to stand up, Senju began to relentlessly attack...

It fired arrows, and after a while, the huge construction machinery exploded into nothingness, leaving behind several bright experience orbs, a few iron ingots, and a bunch of roses on the ground.

"You must be kidding me," the two people next to him were just about to pull up their pants when they saw the construction machinery disappear. They were incredulous, but looking at the mess around them, they had no choice but to admit that this was reality.

“Great,” the two humans stopped what they were doing and sat down. The autonomous machine also came over. “It’s amazing that such primitive weapons completely destroyed that construction machine.”

"Oh, is that so?" Chito asked, somewhat puzzled, before inquiring about the autonomous machine's plan. "What do you plan to do without it?"

“These are the explosives we picked up from below. Half of them will be enough to deal with it,” the autonomous machine pulled out a box filled with explosives from one side and then projected an image of construction machinery onto the wall next to it. “Just place the explosives in its body and detonate them to destroy its internal mechanisms and bring it to a stop.”

"Oh, I see. But how do we get up there? It's so high!" Yuri leaned closer and looked up. "Is it from the ceiling?"

"Yes, there's a staircase over there that leads up, but that plan is no longer needed."

Chapter 90 The Limits of Evolution

"Why did Yuri save that fish? Weren't you going to eat it?" Chito asked, somewhat puzzled by Yuri's enthusiasm.

"Hmm, I don't know either. I just wanted to save it," Yuri said, somewhat confused. She waved to Senju beside her, "Senju, come over here. Don't just stand there!"

“This is probably what ‘empathy’ is,” Chito said, somewhat understanding, before hearing Senju’s voice beside him, “You two, put your pants on.”

"..." The two then realized they hadn't put their clothes on properly. Their faces flushed slightly, and they quickly got dressed. Only then did Senju come over.

"Senju, did you really destroy that big guy? But he's completely disappeared without a trace," Senju said after calming down. He noticed there were no remains of construction machinery on the ground, only a few small green orbs and some other things floating there. "What are those?"

"Oh, Chihiro, can you see that? The green ones are experience orbs, the red ones are roses, and the white ones are iron ingots. Chihiro, why don't you go and try to pick them up?" After Chihiro defeated the construction machinery, he didn't go to pick up the items. He didn't need the experience for the time being, so he wanted Chihiro and the others to try picking them up.

"Could those be what was left of that big guy?" Yuri revealed the truth after watching for a while, but Chito was somewhat incredulous. "It was so big, and this is all that's left?"

"Well, that's all that's left. Almost all the essence is in those few orbs of light, but I've already used a lot of them. Chihiro, why don't you try it out?" Senju also wanted to see what Chihiro and the others would look like after their upgrade.

“No, let’s give it to Yuri. She was the one who suggested saving the fish in the first place,” Chito said after hearing this, wanting Yuri to accept these things. “I never thought there was any benefit in helping the fish, and now that there is, it will belong to Yuri and Chito.”

"Chito, don't be so cold, let's go together," Yuri hugged Chito, who seemed a little upset. Chito finally looked up. "Sigh, I really don't understand what you're thinking."
