“Yes,” Yuri said, tapping her head lightly as if she had just realized something. “I’m such a bastard, how dare I destroy the city.”

"You're so good to yourself," Chito said, somewhat speechless at Yuri's actions. Senju shook his head, saying that this was indeed something humans would do—creating and destroying at the same time.

"Woo," a cat crawled out from the side, and Chito and Yuri, who were nearby, also noticed it. "A cat."

After meowing, the cat climbed onto Yuri's body, seemingly terrified of the sight. "Humans are so scary," it seemed to say.

“Oh, good boy,” Yuri stroked the cat, and the cat let out a relaxed meow, “Nay.”

Watching the two of them getting along so harmoniously, Senju couldn't help but secretly complain, "It was clearly the two of you who did this, yet you're acting cute here."

"Let's sleep here tonight," Chito said after thinking for a moment. Yuri was a little surprised, "While watching the fire?"

"Because it feels too dangerous to go out now," Chito explained, "Even if the Senju's hut is outside..."

As Qianhu spoke, another explosion was heard outside, followed by a bright flash of light, as if something like an oil tank had been detonated.

“That’s right, it’s too dangerous to go out like this. I don’t want to experience what it’s like to be in a sea of ​​fire,” Senju said, looking at the flames and thick smoke outside. She didn’t dare to go out and try it herself.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the superstructure, which was out of sight of everyone, some machines were started up as thick smoke and heat waves rose, sucking in the surrounding smoke and spraying water around them.

"Wearing a helmet is definitely better," Yuri said with a sigh as she looked outside. The water flowing down from above turned into raindrops and fell down.

"Why?" Chito didn't know what Yuri was thinking, and Senju also felt that the scene outside couldn't possibly connect to the helmet.

"Because, you see, bombs and beams of light might come flying at you."

"So that means you'll die." Chito commented on Yuri's optimism.

"That means no matter what kind of protection you have, it won't work against these things," Senju said, looking at the scene outside and then at his own armor, feeling that his chances of survival were zero.

"But..." Yuri started to say something but then stopped, lying back in her seat and looking at the raindrops falling outside. "Is this rain?"

Chapter 108 Is it a god?

Water droplets were falling heavily outside, looking like rain coming in. Fortunately, the raindrops couldn't get into the small space, so everyone could sit comfortably inside. The fire outside was gradually extinguished by the water droplets.

While writing in her diary in front of the camera, Chito answered Yuri's question, "We're below the city, so it shouldn't be raining, right?"

“It must be the city’s fire protection system. Water will appear when there is a fire,” Senju replied slowly while flipping through an English book. However, after a while, he did not hear a reply from either of them. Then he saw that Yuri was already lying there asleep, while Chito looked like he had discovered something.

While writing in her diary today, Chito noticed that the cat's photo looked very similar to the stone statue she had previously documented. Looking at the cat's head now perched on Yuri, the resemblance was even stronger, and an unbelievable thought surfaced in her mind: "Impossible!"

"What's wrong, Senju?" Senju happened to hear this, and Sento shook his head. "Nothing, it's probably just my imagination."

"I see," Senju continued looking at the English book in his hands, searching for familiar words. Through intermittent reading, Senju slowly began to understand the meaning of the words.

"Ha, I'm hungry," Yuri said in her sleep, while the two people next to her shook their heads and continued with their own business.

"Ah," Senju stretched, feeling sleepy after reading for so long. He glanced at the side and saw that Chito had also fallen asleep.

Qianhu checked his hunger level. Although he had eaten some earlier, he was still not full. He took out a piece of cooked beef and started gnawing on it. After replenishing his hunger, he stood there and looked at the scene outside. It was dark outside. With the activation of the fire protection system, the fire in the city had been brought under control.

The surrounding temperature gradually dropped and would soon return to normal. Senju looked at the two people sleeping next to her, covered them with a blanket, and then leaned against the side and slowly fell asleep as well.

After an unknown amount of time, Senju suddenly woke up and found that he had changed from leaning to lying on the floor. However, the two people next to him were still sleeping, one was lying on the chair and fast asleep, and the other was sitting on the floor with his legs hugged.

Sit on the floor

After getting up, I couldn't fall back asleep. I looked around and saw that the lights and screens in the cockpit were still on, while the fire outside had disappeared and the sound of water dripping from the fire extinguishers had stopped.

Senju stood at the window and looked out. She could feel the damp and cold air outside. However, the city lights that should have been there were all gone, and it was pitch black outside.

A single missile and a beam of light simply ended the light of an entire city—it's like a joke, but that's reality.

Just as Senju was looking outside and sighing, Yuri's voice suddenly came from behind her, "Senju, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I just couldn't sleep at night," Senju turned around and saw Yuri sitting in the driver's seat, hugging a sleeping cat. "You can't sleep either?"

"A little bit," Yuri said softly, looking at Chito who was fast asleep beside her. "After all, I angered Chito today."

"It's okay, you two have such a good relationship, Chiyo will forgive you soon," Senju comforted Yuri, then added with a hint of sarcasm, "Just don't touch anything dangerous."

"Hehehe," Yuri scratched her head a little shyly, "but these look really interesting."

"Is this interesting? Luckily, the two weapons you fired during the day weren't very powerful," Senju shook his head, unsure how to comment on this weapons fanatic. Of course, he'd forgotten why he himself enjoyed collecting weapons—after all, he collected them for appreciation...

"What? That's not considered powerful?" Yuri was somewhat surprised. "It destroyed the city in an instant."

“Comparatively speaking, if it had been a nuclear missile, we would have been dead long ago,” Senju said, feeling somewhat fortunate that the damage was limited to the city. “If that missile hadn’t flown out and had exploded here instead, Yuri, the three of us would be just like the buildings outside right now.”

"Oh, that's really dangerous," Yuri thought for a moment and realized how lucky she was that the machine was still working perfectly. "I promise I won't touch anything dangerous again, so Chihiro won't be angry."

"Hey, you're focusing on the wrong thing. Our lives are the most important thing," Senju reminded Yuri, who seemed oblivious to the danger.

“Yes, if Chihiro dies, I won’t be able to live either,” Yuri exclaimed, slapping her forehead. “And if we both die, I’ll leave the cat to you.”

Seeing Yuri's tearful expression, Senju couldn't help but complain, "Hey, you don't think I can escape from such a terrifying attack, do you? If we're not careful, all four of us will be finished."

"Oh, that's troublesome," Yuri said, seemingly lost in thought, completely forgetting what Senju had actually warned her about.

"So, as long as you don't touch strange things or switches, it'll be fine, right, Yuri?"

“Is that so? But sometimes I can’t control my hand,” Yuri said, clutching her hand with a childish expression. “It just starts moving on its own.”

"What are you arguing about? Is it already morning?" Qianhu, who was sleeping next to him, was also woken up by the two of them. Looking at the lights inside, he thought it was morning.

"Oh, Senju, good morning," Yuri teased from the side, while Senju was somewhat speechless, even though it was nighttime.

But just as Senju was thinking this, a sliver of light began to appear outside, and then the surroundings gradually brightened, and the darkness slowly dissipated. "Ah, it really is morning. Good morning, Senju."

"Ah," Chito stretched and stood up from the floor, "has the fire and rain stopped?"

"Hmm, everything has stopped," Senju said with a sigh, looking at the quiet outside. There wasn't even any smoke or dust outside anymore.

“You’re awake,” the cat woke up too, and Yuri happily held it up to greet it, “Good morning, cat.”

“Good morning, Yu,” the cat replied.

Looking at Yuri's energetic appearance, Chito couldn't help but sigh, "She's so spirited."

After playing around for a while, everyone tidied up their things and prepared to leave.

Chapter 109 The Oil-Eating Cat

After packing their backpacks, everyone slowly climbed out of the cockpit. Outside, it was still a scene of ruins, but the dust had long since disappeared. Once on the ground, they found some water stains left behind, telling the story of what had happened the night before.

"That's great! The fire is out, we can continue our journey with peace of mind," Qianhu said happily after looking around. As long as the fire didn't continue, the rest of the journey would be safer.

"It's all this robot's fault for making such a mess of the city," Yuri said indignantly to the robot, but she only quieted down after being glared at by Chito.

"Let's take this robot away. It feels dangerous to leave it here," Senju said, looking at the robot blocking the road. He had a feeling it might suddenly unleash missiles and beams of light.

"Well, if Senju likes it, take it with you. It's really dangerous to leave it here. There's always the possibility of cannonballs and beams of light suddenly appearing," Chito said, also a little scared.

“But aren’t there many things under our feet? What if,” Yuri began, but was interrupted by Chitoge, “Idiot, don’t say such terrible things.”

"

"Sorry, sorry," Yuri quickly apologized, "This requires human operation to function; it won't suddenly unleash beams of light or anything."

"Wait a moment, I'll be done soon," Senju ran to the robot's leg, where there were no ruins or debris. He put the robot away there. After the robot disappeared, there was another commotion from the nearby ruins, and many pieces of debris and pipes fell down.

After putting away the robot, Senju and Yuri went to the place where the car was parked. After dismantling the house, Senju drove the car out.

"Looks like we'll have to take a detour," Qianhu said, sitting in the car and looking at the road ahead. Although the robots blocking the road had been moved, the area around the factory had been burned down. He didn't know what the situation was inside, but there was definitely nothing usable left.

Just as Chito was worrying, Yuri popped up and said, "Chito, let's eat, let's eat."

"Yes, yes," Qianhu also felt a bit hungry. "What should we eat? There's still some dry rations in the bag, let's eat this."

“Dry rations, huh? It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve had any,” Yuri said thoughtfully. After hearing her words, Senju had completely forgotten what she had eaten last night.

“Isn’t this what we ate last night?” Chito had just finished speaking when he saw Yuri’s shocked expression. “Yuri, what are you so shocked about?”

"Did I eat anything last night?" Yuri touched her mouth in shock. "I completely forgot."

"Hey, hey," Qianhu was speechless at her behavior, "Even if you say that, I won't give you an extra one."

"Tch, Chihiro is so stingy," Yuri said, recovering her shocked expression and waiting for breakfast to arrive.

Chito ignored her, took out the fuel stove, put the cup on it and started boiling water. After asking Senju to watch over it, she ran off to the side to do something.

She ran back after a while, and after asking, I learned that she had gone to observe the route. However, the water that had been reduced earlier had already boiled, and Qian Shou had turned off the fire.

After Qianhu distributed the dry rations to everyone, each person slowly ate their food while holding a cup of hot water. Yuri, on the other hand, fed the cat with bullets.

"It's so nice to have food and hot water," Yuri said with a sigh as she ate. "If that robot were still here, I could take a picture."

"Hmm!" Chito glared at her, and Senju didn't dare to say anything about taking the robot out again.

"Hehe, Chihiro, where are we going next?" Yuri changed the subject, and Chihiro ignored her slip of the tongue. "Let's go check out the place where the radio waves were coming from, Cat. Is it that direction?"

"Yeah, that's it, I can feel the radio waves," the cat said into the radio while swallowing a bullet.

"Luckily, we weren't affected last night," Senju said, glancing in that direction, which was slightly off-center from the area that had been damaged.

"Yes, I just checked, and the road over there was only slightly affected; we can go around it," Qianhu told the two of them what he had observed.

After finishing their meal, the three of them and the cat sat in the car and continued on their way. After passing through many buildings and pipes, they came to a wire mesh fence with many white devices that were constantly rotating inside. They didn't know what they were for.

Qianhu drove along the barbed wire fence and found a gas station nearby. Although the gas station was small, Qianhu stopped there anyway.

On the one hand, it was to collect some fuel, and on the other hand, a piece of the barbed wire here was damaged, creating a gap. Of course, there was a refueling point here, and this gap should be the original entrance.

After the car stopped here, Qianhu checked the fuel tank, which still had half of its capacity. Although the car was imbued with the magic of 'infinity', everyone still felt it was necessary to collect more.

The three arrived at the gas station. After looking around, Chito found the fuel outlet, which was about a meter above the ground. Chito easily aimed the fuel can at it, and then Chito turned the valve, and the fuel flowed into the fuel can.

After loading some fuel, Senju and Yuri added fuel to the tank. Although the fuel inside hadn't been used up, they still filled it up completely.

When they were filling the second bucket, the gas station was out of fuel. Qianhu looked at the stopped pipeline with some disappointment, "Huh, it's all gone?"

“The tank is full, and this is about half full,” Yuri patted the oil drum, then looked at another one next to her. “There’s another one here.”

“There was some already in there,” Chito asked Senju after thinking for a moment, “How much fuel do we have left?”

"There are six more buckets, and with these two, there will be more than seven buckets." After looking at the package, Senju casually packed up the two buckets next to him.

After thinking for a moment, Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Is that all? That's enough."

At this moment, the cat that had been perched on Yuri's head suddenly ran down, meowed softly, and then ran to a puddle of fuel on the ground and started licking it.

"Uh, is the fuel tasty?" Qianhu asked, somewhat surprised, as he watched the cat drink the fuel.

"Delicious!" the cat exclaimed happily as it added fuel.

Senju watched in astonishment. This cat really seemed like an alien creature, able to manipulate radio waves, eat bullets, and drink fuel—it looked like a machine, yet its soft body made it seem both alive and not.
