Offer blocks to the end times

"Not yet, we have to wait a while," Chito said, who was quite skilled at cooking. Then she complained to Yuri, "You ate enough last night, are you hungry again so soon?"

Senju opened the pot lid to take a look. "It's not ready yet, it'll be another ten minutes or so." Yuri, who was standing next to her, complained, "Ugh, it's going to take that long? What should we do now?"

Senju was also thinking about this problem, but looking at the barren field, he decided to plant a batch of wheat first. After counting the seeds in his hand, Senju sadly discovered that he only had seventeen left. He could have harvested thirty or forty seeds, but now he only had these.

They ran to the field, and Senju began to plant. Yuri followed him, watching. "What is this? It's such a strange thing."

"This is wheat, but it's still a seedling now. Once it matures, we can make bread from it." Senju was seriously wary of Yuri, and seeing her eager expression, it was clear that she wanted to pluck one and taste it.

"Oh, I see. We must protect it well and not let anyone steal it," Yuri said seriously, tightening her grip on the rifle. However, the two people beside her were complaining, "Only you would steal food!"

After planting the wheat, Senju began to inquire about the rest of the journey, "Chito, where are we going next?"

"Hmm, what's next? Let's find some food and fuel first, and also some spare parts and other supplies, then continue upwards. Do you know where these things are around here?" Qianhu thought for a moment before answering.

Then Yuri chimed in, "We still have weapons, it's about time we replenished them."

"Aren't we enough weapons?" Chito asked, somewhat displeased. Yuri hugged her. "Not at all! Chito needs a weapon too!"

"As for weapons, I know there's a facility nearby where a friend of mine works. I don't know anything else, but I have a map here." With that, Senju took out his camera and showed the map to the two of them.

"Is this a camera? Are the photos inside?" Chito thought for a moment and said. Senju nodded repeatedly and then taught her how to zoom in and out on the map, so they could look at it carefully.

While they were looking at the map, Senju looked at the fish soup. By this time, the fish soup had become cloudy but fragrant, so he took the small pot off the table and set it aside to cool.

After the two of them looked at the map for a while, it became Chito alone who was looking at it, while Yuri rolled around boredly next to her. Chito then called to the two of them, "The fish soup is ready, you can eat now."

"Great, we can eat now," Yuri stopped rolling and ran over. Chito also put down her camera and came over. The two of them took out the same large cups. Chito poured the fish soup into the cups and then put her own portion into a regular cup.

After taking a sip, the two exclaimed, "So warm and delicious!" Qian Shou also drank some; the fish soup had no fishy smell at all, but instead had a rich aroma, much better than the fish soup they had eaten before.

Then he took out three more loaves of bread, one for each person. Yuri happily accepted them and started eating. Chito accepted his and thanked him before eating. Senju also ate bread while drinking fish soup.

A few minutes later, the fish soup and bread were finished, and the three of them lay on the ground, saying, "It was so delicious, we ate too much!"

After a while, the three of them recovered. Qianhu warned everyone with a serious expression, "It seems we can't do this so often in the future. My stomach hurt so much just now."

“That’s true, Qian, give me some more food,” Yuri said, still oblivious to her repeated warnings.

"Listen to me properly!" Qianhu snapped, but then seemed a little discouraged. "I wonder if we can find enough food. Has the snow outside stopped?"

"I don't know, I'll go out and take a look," Senju pushed open the door and went outside. He saw that the snowstorm had stopped, and the tire tracks left last night were covered by snow. Looking into the distance, everything around him was white.

After returning to the house and telling the two about the situation, everyone started discussing where to go first. Chito decided to go find fuel and food first, but Yuri wanted to replenish her weapons. Chito thought it would be a good opportunity to go to the weapons center to see the robot, so he agreed to Yuri's suggestion.

After resolving the route issue, the group began packing. Senju could only use bone meal to ripen the wheat and take it with them. Then, they packed up the soil, water, and other miscellaneous items. The two people next to them watched in amazement. Yuri touched everything around, trying to see where the items were hidden.

After packing everything, the three of them started...

They started their journey. Senju drove his small car in front, followed by the two of them in their tracked vehicle. However, Senju no longer considered his car a 'luxury car'; the ones behind him were the real luxury vehicles.

The journey was bumpy, but both vehicles overcame it. After driving for several tens of minutes, Senju finally saw a familiar outline; the weapons research facility was just ahead.

Upon arrival, the three got out of the car and went inside. Senju led the two to the room where the other party had stored their belongings. They saw that the robot was still there in standby mode, but it stood up after detecting that someone had arrived.

"Hello, it's nice to see you again," the robot replied, its lights flashing.

"A robot?!" the two exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter Eleven: The Glory of Ancient Times

"It spoke! What is this?" Chito was very surprised by the robot, seemingly never expecting a machine to greet him. Yuri next to him also raised her gun in surprise and aimed it at the robot.

“I am the autonomous machine here, and I used to be in charge of maintaining this facility,” the robot responded. “Rest assured, I will not harm you.”

"Really? Then it's okay if we take the things here," Yuri said casually after putting down her gun.

"No problem. Although there were orders to guard this place in the past, all the security robots have stopped operating. And after restarting, I haven't received any orders, so you can move around freely." The robot calmly explained its situation, completely unconcerned about Yuri and the others' activities.

"Really? Then can you show us around?" Yuri suddenly had a bright idea and actually asked the robot to lead the way. "Aren't you a friend of Senju?"

“Friends?” The robot’s voice seemed surprised, whether from its programming or genuine intelligence, “I would be delighted. Let me show you around.”

A group of people followed the robot around, and although the place had been deserted for a long time, it was still clear that many kinds of weapons had been researched here in the past. The robot introduced the various laboratories to the three people, explaining what had been researched in the past.

In a typical firearms research lab, Yuri took a liking to some bullets, but these were just standard-issue bullets, not anything special. Even these bullets weren't sure where they would be used, and the strange guns were left unattended, slowly decaying.

In the enormous robotics research lab, the group realized that ancient people had developed such powerful weapons. The robot even showed them a video of the giant robots wreaking havoc in the city like ancient beasts.

There is also a sword research lab here. Perhaps it is because humans do not want to give up even the slightest chance of victory that they have to use even ancient swords. However, Yuri picked out a few to use for cutting things in the future, and Senju also took one to use for processing food in the future.

Finally, it stopped at the nuclear weapons symbol, saying, "I don't recommend you visit here; the items inside are very harmful to the human body."

"What does it have to do with anything? Could this be the 'ultimate weapon' we were talking about before?" Yuri gestured excitedly.

"You could say this is one of humanity's most powerful weapons. It's tightly sealed off, but even so, this weapon still emits radiation that's harmful to humans." The robot paused for a moment before continuing, "Even so, do you still want to continue the tour?"

Ignoring the thousand-household commander's attempts to stop her, Yuri said nonchalantly, "What does it matter? It's been so long, it's probably useless by now."

"That is indeed a possibility, but the storage here is very secure, so this problem won't occur," the robot calmly stated, but immediately dismissed it.

When Qian Shou saw a group of people go inside, he reluctantly followed. Once inside, he found the surroundings unusually simple. Some giant computers were placed on the walls, and unlike other laboratories, the area was not filled with samples and blueprints. Robots were connected to those computers.

"I'm so surprised. The power supply here has stopped. It seems Miss Yuri was right. All the weapons here have stopped working." Although she was very surprised, her voice remained very calm.

After hearing this, Yuri was very smug. "See, I was right. The weapons here are completely useless." Chito and Senju looked at her speechlessly.

“Generally speaking, these problems shouldn’t occur. The weapons here can be preserved for fifty years. The fact that they’re failing so quickly is probably due to some kind of interference.” The robot’s voice also revealed a hint of doubt. “Let me show you around the other places.”

Then the robot led everyone on a tour of the old cafeteria, but it was completely empty. Yuri searched for a long time in what should have been a place to eat, and then started to throw a tantrum because there was no food at all.

In the researchers' residence, Chito happily found several books, Senju collected some clothes and bedding, and Yuri somehow found some explosives and a box of compressed food.

The last group of people arrived at the supplies storage warehouse, which should have been full of all sorts of things, but now there were only a few items, and they were covered in dust. If the robot hadn't pointed them out, none of them would have realized that these were actually usable items.

After cleaning these things up, the robot introduced...

The items included sealed tank engines, laser generators intended for use in giant robots, various alloy blocks, emergency repair tools, and several boxes of specially made high-energy compressed rations.

Seeing this, Chito and Yuri were very conflicted. Their car couldn't hold so much stuff. Seeing them picking and choosing, Chito asked, "Can't we just take all of this? We might need it later."

"We'll definitely need it in the future, but our car can't hold that much stuff. We also need to carry some fuel and water, and the remaining space can only hold a few boxes of food," Qianhu said somewhat dejectedly.

“Is there not enough space?” The robot nodded in understanding. “That is indeed a major problem. We need to choose the optimal solution.”

Hearing what the two said, Senju cautiously said, "Ahem, um, I can take all of these with me."

"Really? I want this and this too." Qianhu pointed excitedly at several repair tools after hearing this, but then became somewhat discouraged, "But how is that possible?"

“Hmm, like this,” Senju gestured, packing up a box of food. Chito and Yuri stared at him in amazement, trying to find where the food was hidden. The robot’s head also emitted a dense flash of light, seemingly quite puzzled by this phenomenon.

"Where did all that food go?" Yuri grabbed Senju and shook her violently. "Hurry up and bring it out, I want to eat it again later."

"Stop it now, I'll get it out right away," Senju, who was dizzy from being shaken, quickly took out the food. Seeing the box of food on the ground, Yuri patted Senju's shoulder seriously, "Great, now pack all this food away and only take it out when I need it."

"Don't listen to this guy, take everything else with you too." Qianhu had more on his mind.

Chapter Twelve: The City at the End

After rummaging around, Yuri still left two boxes of food to put in the car. However, judging from her drooling and dreamy look, she was planning to sneak some. But since there was enough food available, Chito didn't say anything.

The rest of the items went into Senju's pack. He set aside a separate compartment for these 'miscellaneous items'. On the other hand, each item had a name displayed, while a bunch of things that didn't fit the system's settings would be stored away as miscellaneous items. Senju was increasingly satisfied with this feature, especially now that he had more and more items. He wouldn't miss anything, and it wouldn't take up too much space. The only downside was that it was a bit inconvenient to use them.

Seeing that they had collected enough, Qianhu suggested that they go find fuel and water. Originally, they planned to try their luck at various places where these things might be found, but now that they had a map and the robot's guidance, they decided to target the oil depot.

The reason there was only one target was that there was snow everywhere outside, so although it wasn't very useful, it was enough for emergencies. Water storage would only be needed when the snow melted. The other reason was that Senju mentioned his ability to have unlimited water. Perhaps none of the three of them paid attention, and Chito and Yuri didn't know he had this ability, and Senju forgot to mention it.

Hearing that there was an unlimited water source and plenty of food, the two were full of energy and prepared to find the fuel necessary for the vehicle. Although Senju wanted to tell them about the pressure plate, she didn't know where to put it after seeing the state of their vehicle. Moreover, the tracked vehicle was still functioning normally, and she didn't know what problems would arise from modifying the vehicle. In the end, Senju decided not to bring up the issue for the time being.

Then the three of them prepared to say goodbye to the robot. Although Yuri really wanted to take it with her, it still wanted to stay here until the facility was completely destroyed. So the three of them stopped insisting that it go with them. However, Senju wanted to leave behind a final memento.

"Everyone stand still, get ready, cheese!" After Senju had everyone lined up, he picked up the camera and took a picture of them. However, Chito seemed a little confused. "Shouldn't you be saying 'cheese' when taking a picture?"

“Even though they’re all the same, let’s listen to Sengoku. One more picture, cheese.” Sengoku took another picture, then placed the camera on a platform, adjusted it, and stood next to the two of them.

"Cheese," the scene was preserved in a single photograph. After taking the picture, the three said goodbye and left. Chito and Senju were a little sad, but Yuri was very lively and shouted from behind the tracked vehicle, "Bye-bye, take care!"

After leaving the facility, Yuri lay in the back of the car, lost in thought. Chito and Senju drove carefully. After a while, still far from their destination, Yuri was already swaying back and forth, muttering, "So boring, so boring."

The driver in front, Qianhu, was so angry that a cross appeared above his head. "Quiet down, I need to concentrate on driving."

“Yes, yes, what Chi is right. Chiju, give me your camera,” Yuri said to Chiju, who was following behind the car.

“Okay, here you go,” Senju said, increasing his speed as he handed her the camera. Although Senju had only explained a little about how to use it, Yuri quickly figured out the camera function and started taking pictures of the surrounding buildings.

After taking pictures for a while, Yuri noticed that the surrounding buildings were all similar, all tall buildings with empty doors and windows, so she stopped taking pictures and focused on studying the other functions of the camera.

Besides these along the way

Beyond the dilapidated buildings, she photographed only some strange landscapes, such as rusty iron towers and oddly shaped buildings. Yuri always managed to record these strange sights.

Seeing how well the camera worked in her hands, Senju felt a pang of shame. Did she lack the talent? She had taken far fewer photos than Senju had in just a short time.

After traveling a long distance, they were finally close to their destination. A series of huge jars appeared ahead, and Senju could see the target on his map.

Next came the time to collect fuel. Although Yuri suggested that Senju try the idea of ​​'infinite fuel', the experiment failed completely. The amount collected was exactly the same as the amount released, unlike water which could be unlimited. Chito had no choice but to search around for some usable oil drums and prepare to have Senju take more.

However, the group eventually discovered that there wasn't enough fuel to fill all the fuel barrels they found. The huge storage tank only contained three barrels of fuel. One barrel was put in the car for immediate use, and the other two were placed with Senju.

After collecting the fuel, it was getting dark, so the group prepared to find a place to rest. The simplest place to rest would be the empty buildings around them, but surprisingly, there were none in the vicinity.

The streetlights around them gradually came on, and the three decided to leave first. Not long after they left, the wind picked up and a building appeared in front of them. After they drove into a building, they heard a loud bang outside.

After running outside, they heard that the sound was coming from the oil storage area, followed by a series of loud noises, as if many things had collapsed. The three people standing there also felt the ground shake, and many pieces fell from the surrounding buildings.

Just as they were getting worried, the loud noise stopped, but a huge fire broke out in that direction. Just as they were worried that the fire might spread, it started to rain outside, as if it was designed specifically for fire prevention.

Although the fire occurred at an oil depot, there was very little fuel left. What was burning were building materials and similar items. Combined with the cold outside temperature, the icy water droplets quickly suppressed the fire.

While Chito and Senju were staring blankly at the fire, Yuri took many photos. As the flames gradually disappeared, everyone felt relieved. However, this disaster also showed that the city was becoming increasingly dangerous, and everyone felt it was time to leave.

However, it was freezing rain outside, so the group had to stay inside the building and wait until tomorrow. After boiling some water, they ate some compressed rations and prepared to rest.

However, Senju planned to take the opportunity to fish for something. After building a pond, she started fishing. Yuri saw this and tried it too, but unfortunately, nothing came out for most of the day. So she hugged Senju and went to sleep.

Chapter Thirteen: The Target is the Tower

After watching the two girls sleep, Senju couldn't help but feel a little emotional. How did these two teenage girls manage to survive in this apocalyptic world? Judging from their appearance, they were exhausted today. Let sleep soothe their bodies and minds.

Senju gradually realized that he was different from them. His sleep was mainly for relaxing his mind, but what affected his physical activity was whether he was full of hunger. Now he only felt mentally tired, but his body did not feel tired.

After thinking for a while, Senju started fishing to relax. However, the fish seemed to be quite active today. After fishing for a while, he only caught fish and nothing else. Looking at the seven or eight small fish, Senju decided to rest for now.

Looking at his equipment, Senju was a little conflicted, but he still lay down in his blanket wearing the armor. Anyway, he didn't feel the coldness of the armor, and it gave him a sense of security, so he didn't want to take it off casually. By the way, the sound of rain outside gradually disappeared, and only the wind was still howling. With this sound, Senju thought for a while and then fell asleep.

When Senju woke up in the morning, he found Yuri still sleeping there, while Chito was checking the tracked vehicle. After sitting there for a while, Senju decided to make breakfast. However, since the most abundant food at the moment was raw fish, he decided to make a fish soup.

As usual, it was just boiled fish in water. After preparing the ingredients, Senju stared blankly at the small pot on the electric stove. After a while, Yuri woke up and came over to watch the fish cooking process. However, judging from the bag of compressed food in her hand and her eager look, it was clear that she wanted to add some new ingredients to the dish.
