Offer blocks to the end times

"It hurts so much," the cat said, but it was because it was choking and couldn't swallow such a thick bullet.

At this moment, the car drove to the bottom of a ruin. The space around them was made up of messy building materials and looked a bit dark, so Qianhu turned on the headlights.

"Could it be that it uses gunpowder as an energy source, because of evolution or something?" Chito thought for a moment and then spoke up. Senju thought about it for a while and felt that her words were more reliable. After all, there were bullets everywhere outside, and only by relying on this to eat could they survive.

Just as she was thinking this, Chito suddenly turned and ran into the house next door.

Upon entering the house, Yuri saw a row of tanks parked to one side. After looking at them, she asked, "So you really care about these tanks?"

“No,” Qianhu said, getting out of the car. “I knew it was true.”

"Keep it up," Yuri cheered for the cat from the car, while the cat diligently swallowed 20ml of liquor.

After getting out of the car, Qianhu went straight to a spot where light was shining.

There, the light came from a large hole in the roof of the house, illuminating everything on the ground.

"It's a book!" Qianhu happily picked up the object from the ground, vigorously wiped off the dust, and the object was revealed to be a thick book.

"What book is it?" The two people next to him also got out of the car.

"I don't understand this. Is it because of cultural differences?" Qianhu looked at it for a while and found that he didn't quite understand.

"Let me see," Senju said, walking over and taking the book. He noticed it was in English, with the title "war and human civilization."

"Senju, do you know him?" Chito asked excitedly. Senju looked embarrassed and replied, "I only know a little bit about him. I don't really understand anything too complicated."

“I see,” Chito took the book again and flipped through it. Of course, it was all in English. “This seems to be an ancient script from a distant place. I didn’t expect Chito to recognize it. I wonder if Grandpa recognizes it?”

"Senju, you take a look first, and teach me what you recognize in there," Chito casually handed Senju a difficult problem. Senju looked miserable, but since he had nothing to do lately, this was a good way to kill time. "Okay, but there are many things I don't recognize either."

"Sigh, do you guys even know what's going on? Why are you carrying these around?" Yuri came over again with the cannonballs, while Senju chimed in, saying that she did know a little bit about them.

“Because it’s very precious,” Chito explained, while Yuri next to her started teasing her, “Chito clearly said in the past that I shouldn’t take anything unnecessary.”

"..." Chito didn't know how to answer, and then Yuri, with a smile on her face, poked Chito with a cannonball, "Aren't you picking it up now too?"

Yuri's actions left Senju speechless. That was a cannonball! Even though it wouldn't explode, it was still far too dangerous.

“That’s because you don’t understand the value of books, and…” Qianhu retorted, and then the cat next to him, who was struggling to swallow bullets, also spoke up, “Things that can’t be eaten have no value.”

"Why does she sound like Yu?" Chito couldn't help but complain upon hearing the familiar tone, then looked at what Yuri was holding, "By the way, Yuri, what are you holding?"

"Cannonballs."

“You can tell just by looking,” Chito said, looking at Yuri speechlessly, wanting to know her true thoughts.

“I want to feed the cat,” Yuri said, looking at the cat with anticipation.

"This won't do, let's throw it away," Chito compared the size of the cat and the cannonball, and thought Yuri was just daydreaming.

Yuri put the shells aside, but Senju was very interested in the tanks and shells, so she went to collect them.

On one side of the house, there were not only the shells that Yuri had taken, but also shells larger than a person. After Senju ran over, he packed them all up, and then he packed up all the tanks in the house as well.

"Gulp," the cat swallowed the 20 bullet, watching it remain inside the cat's body, sinking directly into its stomach, as if the cat had wrapped the bullet up like a dough ball.

"Ah, he swallowed 20 millimeters," Yuri exclaimed in surprise, while Chito was dumbfounded. "No way, he really ate it?"

Chapter 104 The Unknown and Fear

"What's wrong?" Senju returned, looking at the cat's bulging belly with a stunned expression. "No way, it really ate it?"

“Wow, it’s gotten so heavy!” Yuri pulled the cat up and found that the weight had changed again. The two people next to her also saw the bullet shape inside the dough cat’s belly.

"Don't bully it too much," Qianhu said, somewhat speechless at their interaction.

"Chihiro, camera, camera!" Yuri called out, wanting Chihiro to help her take a picture.

“Yes, yes,” Chito took out his camera from his backpack and took a few pictures of Yuri and the cat.

After taking the photos, the three got into the car. Chito drove away down the stairs. Yuri, holding the cat, asked with some confusion, "Why can it eat bullets? Is it because of some kind of culture?"

“It’s more like ecology than culture,” Chito replied after a moment’s thought. “Culture refers to the differences between different people, such as the writing system and language they use. I think there have been wars because of this in the past.”

"Hmm, why?" Yuri couldn't figure it out either.

"Because unfamiliar things are scary or something," Chito guessed.

“It’s probably a difference in perception; some people like things that others hate,” Senju chimed in. “And there are also reasons like land, resources, and population.”

“Oh, I don’t quite understand,” Yuri thought for a moment, completely unable to comprehend why people in the past would wage war for such a vast and empty place.

"But Chihiro likes to learn about things she doesn't know, and she also reads books."

"That's why I won't go near things that seem dangerous and that I don't understand, like you do."

"Whoosh," a burst of steam suddenly shot out of the pipe next to them, drawing everyone's attention. Yuri looked around at the pipes and instruments. "Come to think of it, there are some strange things all around us."

“Well, that makes sense,” Chito looked around at the pipes through the steam. “The fog has gotten really thick.”

After walking for a while, finally

It emerged from the steam, and there appeared something strange in front of it, constantly moving around.

"Oh," Chito exclaimed in surprise, and Yuri behind him also looked at the thing with great interest. "Look, it's another strange thing, it's moving a little bit."

“Midnight Lost Child?!” Senju sighed, but he was just joking. The item there consisted of an iron axle on the ground and gears of varying sizes, with several reflective iron plates attached to the outside of the gears.

The entire device was seven or eight meters high, and it was slowly rotating little by little. There were also two iron chains on one side with things moving up and down. The three people stopped to watch because they didn't know what it was for.

As a gust of wind blew by, Chito guessed, "Is it powered by the wind?"

“Is it powered by light?” Senju guessed, looking at the reflective panel above, and then approached to examine it.

"This is so much fun!" Yuri ran over, grabbed one of the chains and swung around, while the cat climbed onto the other chain and started playing up and down.

"Don't break it," Chito warned cautiously as she watched them having fun. "It was so hard to preserve it."

After saying that, Chito took out his camera and took pictures of the device. The device had a strange beauty that captivated Chito. "It's really interesting."

“You just said it was interesting,” Yuri jumped down from the side and immediately caught up on what Chito had just said.

"Ah," Chito quickly covered his mouth, as if he couldn't believe what he had just said.

“I told you,” the cat on Yuri’s head chimed in.

Just as Sento was wondering what to say, familiar music started playing from the radio around Yuri's neck, attracting everyone's attention. Sento also came over, not understanding the reason for the device either.

"Is it going to be this incomprehensible song again?" Chito looked at the radio, somewhat at a loss.

“I like this song,” the cat perched on Yuri’s head suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone’s attention.

"Do cats have things they like?" Yuri looked up in surprise.

"The sound is coming from over there," the cat suddenly turned its head to look in one direction.

"Do you know where it came from?"

"I know, it's over there."

All three turned to look in the direction the cat was pointing. From there, they could see a cluster of buildings. It turned out that the three of them had unknowingly climbed to a higher place again.

The surrounding empty and dilapidated buildings, the billowing steam, and the howling wind, combined with the melancholic music, evoked a sense of sadness.

“Let’s go take a look over there,” Yuri suddenly said after looking around for a while.

“Yes, let’s go see something we don’t know much about,” Chito said, staring in that direction with a calm expression.

"Hmm, let's go take a look. There might be something strange there," Senju said, glancing at the cat and wondering if there was a spaceship there.

After all, its ability is too strange. It can directly monitor radio waves, like a machine, but its appearance is like a living being. Moreover, the bullet it just swallowed has been digested, as if its stomach is filled with acid.

“Great, curiosity has overcome fear,” Yuri said happily, grabbing the chains and continuing to swing.

“It’s not about winning or losing,” Chito sighed, looking at Yuri who was playing happily there. “Maybe only people like Yuri can create culture.”

“That makes sense. After all, it’s curiosity. That’s what drives humanity to keep researching and discovering,” Senju said, looking at Yuri who was rising higher and higher, and agreed with Chito’s point of view.

"Curiosity, Yu is curious about everything. I wonder what kind of culture she can create."

"It must be a very interesting culture, creating, preserving, and passing on. Nowadays, no one creates culture anymore, and the preservation and transmission of culture and knowledge are almost gone, leaving only some things we don't understand."

“That’s true. Even after being out for so long, we’ve only found a few books. All the books that Grandpa had were destroyed. Even the books we just found, I can’t understand.”

"Hmm, this is English. It used to be the most widely spoken language, but nobody recognizes it anymore. War and humanity, you know," Senju said, opening the book and slowly reading it.

"What's it about?" Chito leaned closer, and Senju pointed out the words she recognized. "This means war, this means humanity, and these are..."

Chapter 105 Equipment and Luck

"Eat, eat!" Yuri suddenly ran over from the side, and you could tell from her expression that she was hungry again.

"It's not noon yet..." Qianhu looked up and, not seeing the sun, had to change his words, "It's not lunchtime yet."

"Oh, but I'm hungry," Yuri said, biting the cat with some dissatisfaction. The cat chimed in, "Hungry, eat! Hungry, eat!"

"It should be lunchtime now. Let's go check over there after we eat," Senju said, feeling a bit hungry. Although he had a phone to keep track of time, he had left it in the cabin and had no idea how long he had been out.

"Okay, let's eat then," Qianhu agreed, seeing that everyone wanted to eat. "Everyone, wait a moment, let's just eat over there."

Qianhu pointed

At the bottom of the device, there was a circular platform. Senju and Yuri went over and tidied it up before sitting down.

Chito also took his backpack and sat down. He took out his water bottle and food box. After the three of them took turns drinking some water, Chito began to distribute the food. "This is Yu's, three pieces. This is Senju's, also three pieces."

"Great, dinner's ready!" Yuri cheered, then noticed there were four more sticks left. She rolled her eyes. "The cat needs to eat too."

"It's not necessary, after all, it takes bullets," Chito picked up a snack and started eating, ignoring Yuri's unreasonable request.

“Cat, you said you want to eat,” Yuri stared seriously at the cat in her arms. After a while, the cat spoke up, “I want to eat.”

“Look, it says it wants to eat,” Yuri said, grabbing the cat and holding it up in front of Chito.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Chito complained about Yuri's behavior, then took out a snack and pretended to feed it to the cat. "Are you really going to let it eat this? If it does, there won't be any left for Yuri."

"I'm sorry, it was my fault," Yuri said quickly as she watched the snack being devoured by the cat. "But the cat ate my bullets, so this should be mine."

"Bullets, I want to eat them, 20 of them," the cat said, its expression as drooling as Yuri's.

“Sure,” Chito handed the snacks to Yuri so easily, which startled her. “Really? Is it okay to give them to me so easily?”

“After all, today’s harvest was quite good, and the cat also did a great job,” Chito said with a smile, seemingly thinking of the book he found this morning. Seeing Yuri’s surprised expression, he reached out his hand, “If you don’t want it, you can give it to me.”

"Haha, no one said no, did you say no, cat?" Yuri ignored the outstretched hand and started talking to the cat.

“No, I’ll eat bullets,” the cat said, looking at Yuri. After thinking for a moment, Yuri took out a 12.7mm bullet from her backpack. “Here, I’ve had the 6.5mm and 20mm, try this 12.7mm.”
