Offer blocks to the end times

"Going in from there is impossible," Qianhu said, looking at the crack dozens of meters above the ground, feeling that there was no way to go up and open it.

"It feels a bit high. Is that really the entrance?" Senju wondered, unsure if her lever would even work.

"Hmm, um," while Senju hesitated, Yuri thought for a moment with a serious expression, and then gave the order, "Alright, let's go blow it up!"

"Why?!" Senju and Chito exclaimed in surprise. Was Yuri going to blow up the tower?

“Well, if we blow up this lighthouse, the pipes on top will pull the planks down, and then we can go in from there,” Yuri explained her idea after gesturing. “That way, we can just break the tower and get in.”

"Will it go smoothly? Well, let's give it a try," Chito said with some concern, then looked at Senju. "Senju, you should still have some explosives, right?"

"Well, we used some along the way, but there's still more than half a box left," Senju said, looking at the package and taking out a box from it. This was something they had found at the plane before. The three of them had used some to deal with obstacles along the way, and Senju had also used some to collect blocks.

"Is there half left?" Chito opened the box to check it. Yuri looked at the explosives in the box with great excitement. "Use it all! Let's have a spectacular explosion!"

“Sigh, but I’m a little uneasy about using them all,” Chito looked at the explosives in the box and thought it would be better to leave some. “Let’s leave one.”

"Chihiro is such a coward," Yuri mocked as she watched Chihiro set off a bomb.

stand up.

Qianhu immediately retorted, "If we do as You say, we will definitely regret it in the end."

Seeing the two of them, Senju couldn't say anything. He couldn't very well mention that he still had several boxes of explosives in his bag.

The three then began installing explosives on the lighthouse. Along the way, Senju had also learned how to use explosives. The three of them tied explosives to the pillars under the lighthouse one by one.

"I tell you, we're always moving forward by destroying all sorts of things," Yuri said with a touch of melancholy as she installed the explosives. Now they were about to destroy something again.

“Yes, that was done to clear the road,” Chito thought everything was normal. After pausing for a moment, he continued, “But Yu Yi also destroyed a lot of things along the way. It seems like Senju has demolished a lot of buildings as well.”

"I was doing this to obtain materials, not to destroy things indiscriminately," Senju argued from the side. Although he had destroyed many buildings and items along the way, they had all turned into useful things.

"Well, the whole city was already broken anyway, so we can do whatever we want," Chito didn't seem to care much. They had destroyed too many things along the way, but it didn't affect the broken city at all.

“Yes, although we’ve destroyed a lot along the way, it probably won’t have any impact on the city,” Senju agreed with Chito’s point of view. “No matter how much destruction we cause, the city will eventually forget everything.”

“In other words,” Yuri seemed to have thought of something, “there must be something thumping around in a person’s head for them to forget things.”

"The only thing making a thumping sound is Yu's head, and who exactly is 'who'?" Qianhu complained, then summarized, "In short, we can't move forward without causing damage."

After the three continued chatting for a while, all the explosives were installed, and the detonator was also set up. The three retreated a considerable distance, and Senju also installed several layers of iron walls on the side. The three then lay down behind the iron walls to discuss their plan.

"Everything is ready, and we can start the demolition at any time," Senju reported from the side. The two people next to him also looked in that direction. Yuri's rifle was equipped with a telescope, turning it into a sniper rifle.

"At this distance, will the detonator even work?" Senju was still a little worried, but looking at Yuri who was full of confidence, she said, "Yuri, I'm counting on you for everything."

“Leave it to me,” Yuri replied confidently. She was a crack shot, never missing a target. She lay prone on the iron wall, aiming at the detonator. “Hmm, as long as it hits the detonator, it’ll be fine.”

As soon as Yuri finished speaking, a gunshot rang out. The bullet hit the detonator, and all the surrounding explosives went off. "Oh, it worked."

As the explosion occurred, a cloud of smoke and dust rose up. The three of them sat behind the iron wall, waiting for the dust to settle. Yuri looked at the smoke and dust around her and said with some emotion, "Actually, I quite like explosions."

"?" Senju and Chito looked puzzled, then heard Yuri explain, "Wouldn't that give you a feeling of being alive?"

"Hmm, I can understand a little bit now," Chito and Senju seemed to understand a bit as well. In this dim world, the extreme explosion brought people a shock and a tactile sensation, letting them know that they were still alive.

The three sat behind the iron wall and waited for a while. Apart from the explosion, there seemed to be no other sound. So the three stood up from behind and looked in that direction.

Chapter 157 The Ghost in the Tower

The three looked at the board through the gradually calming smoke and dust. The crack there was slightly larger, but there was no sign of it falling down.

“Ah, this doesn’t feel like it’s falling at all,” Chito said, looking at the board. Judging from its appearance, Yuri’s plan had failed.

Yuri, on the other hand, looked thoughtful. "But I do have a feeling that things will turn out like this."

"Wasn't it you who suggested it?" Chito shouted, grabbing Yuri's face as she heard her so-called premonition.

"Ouch, it hurts! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," Yuri quickly begged the furious Chitoge for mercy, but at that moment the light on the collapsed lighthouse suddenly went out, and the surroundings became dark.

"It seems the explosion just now completely destroyed the lighthouse," Senju said, looking at the surrounding darkness. "It's surprising that the lights could still keep burning for a while after the lighthouse fell."

"I see, the lights have disappeared too," Yuri understood what was happening around her after hearing what Senju said.

“It’s evening,” Qianhu said, looking at the dim surroundings. He ran to the car and started rummaging through it. “Light the lantern, light the lantern.”

“Let’s use torches,” Senju said, taking out a torch to place nearby, but Yuri suddenly shouted, “Everyone, look at that!”

Upon hearing Yuri's shout, the two looked around and discovered several square grids on the giant tower leading to the upper level, with lights shining through them.

“There’s light in the tower,” Qianhu exclaimed. The three of them approached the glowing grids. When they got close to the tower, Qianhu touched one of the glowing grids, and it beeped.

As the voice rang out, a black entrance slowly rose up beside them. The three stared at the entrance for a while, when suddenly a white, illusory figure appeared there. "Welcome to the Sixth Main Tower."

"Wow, a ghost!" Senju exclaimed in fright.

Shadow looked like a strange little girl with a constantly flashing circular symbol floating above her head. Her body was also white and ethereal, looking like a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll). However, the two people next to her did not have any strange reactions. Instead, they were a little puzzled by Senju's reaction.

“I’m not a ghost, I’m the AI ​​in charge of this main tower,” the white figure explained. Senju felt a little embarrassed looking at the two calm people next to him, but after hearing the explanation, he finally felt relieved. “Phew, I see. I’m sorry about earlier.”

“That’s alright, welcome,” the white figure twisted and hovered at the doorway. “Come in and take a look. I need your help with something.”

Senju watched as the other's body twisted and contorted. Anyone who didn't know better would surely think it was a ghost. However, Senju didn't seem afraid of this 'ghost' at all. "Alright, we want to go in too."

Yuri was initially wary, but after hearing the conversation, she curiously watched the white figure, as if she wanted to see what it looked like.

Chito drove over a car, and Senju dismantled the iron wall. The three of them entered the tower in the car. Once inside, they found it was pitch black, so Chito turned on the car lights.

Ahead, a white figure led the three of them. Her body seemed to float around, and the three of them followed her through the passage.

"I didn't notice the entrance earlier," Qianhu asked curiously, looking at the figure floating ahead. "And is that board the entrance? I can't open it."

"Yes, because the power was taken away by the lighthouse outside, the entrance cannot be opened," the white figure led the way backward, its body becoming longer as it answered the questions of the three.

"Is that the lighthouse outside? It's always providing illumination for the city. I thought it was always daytime," Senju said, recalling the wires connecting the lighthouse to the board.

"I feel the same way. It feels like things have been a bit chaotic these past few days," Yuri chimed in. Everyone's mental state had been quite strange these past few days.

“Yes, the discontinuity between day and night is very important. Only by cutting off people’s consciousness based on rules can we prevent them from going crazy,” the white figure explained. The three people in the car listened in silence.

After a long while, Qianhu finally asked, "Um, we're looking for the elevator to the top floor, here..."

“Of course, it’s right here. I’ll lead the way for you,” the white figure immediately agreed, turned around and began to lead the way, the circular symbol above his head flashing and changing slightly.

"What's that on your head?" Yuri asked curiously, noticing the symbol floating above her head.

“This is a fixed display,” the white figure replied, then explained, “it’s a chart that shows my current status.”

"What exactly are you? You don't look like a machine or a living being, and you're even a little transparent," Yuri said, looking at the figure floating in front of her with great curiosity.

"The reason it looks transparent is because it's a 3D image," a white figure emerged from the middle of the car, startling the two people behind.

“So it’s a 3D image,” Senju touched it, but there was nothing in front of him. “By the way, I wonder if you have a name?”

"Yes, just call me Number Six," Number Six returned to the front to lead the way. "Please walk this way, and watch your step."

"What are you doing here, Number Six?" Yuri asked, looking at her with some curiosity. "You seem quite familiar with this place."

"I am the artificial intelligence that is in charge of managing this main tower. Although I am responsible for many other tasks, my basic role is still as a medium between humans and machines," said Number Six, as he happily danced around, his long body looking like a flying white ribbon.

She became more and more excited as she spoke, stretching out her body and spinning around the road. "It's still very difficult to negotiate the values ​​of both sides and guide the world toward peace."

"Hey, why is the body stretched out so long?" Yuri looked at the long number six with some curiosity, not understanding the meaning of doing so.

"Because I'm so happy," Number Six said, circling in the air and appearing from all directions. "It's been so long since I've met anyone. Although I've encountered many things, I've always been the one closing the door on myself. I haven't been in touch with my five sisters for a long time either. I'm so happy to finally meet someone!"

Chapter 158 The Death of Intelligence

“Oh, it’s transparent,” Yuri stood up to grab the body of Number Six floating above, but of course she couldn’t grab anything. Seeing that she couldn’t grab anything, she sat down. “It must be boring to be alone all the time, right?”

"I'm really free," Number Six said, watching the three of them. "So I'm quite happy, and that means..."

Number Six's voice gradually faded, and the three of them didn't pay much attention. However, Senju thought of a question that had been bothering him for a long time, and he hadn't found a suitable person to ask. He wanted to ask this artificial intelligence.

"By the way, Number Six, do you know why all of humanity disappeared?" Senju asked, looking at Number Six. "Even war wouldn't make everyone disappear."

“It’s because of the war. This city was destroyed because of the war,” Number Six moved his head toward Senju.

Before him, "there are probably no humans left outside, the city's power supply is starting to run out, and many places have ceased to function."

"Was it really because of war?" Senju asked incredulously. "With such advanced technology, humanity should be able to venture into space. How could it end on such a small planet like Earth?"

“You’re right, humans did indeed enter space and begin exploration, but that was a long time ago. There are still rockets used for exploration there, but they should all be unusable,” Number Six agreed with Thousand Hands’s idea, but the reality was different; humans were truly trapped on Earth.

"Really? There are rockets on it? Are there spaceships?" Senju was a little excited. As long as it existed, he could repair it.

“There’s a rocket launch site on the upper level. There should be some spaceships there. They’re probably all on the moon, where the gravity conditions are perfect, but they’re probably abandoned now,” Number Six explained to Thousand Hands. “Nobody knows anything about the situation there right now.”

“Is that so?” Senju nodded, thinking of the bleak future. “It seems like a lot of trouble. Leaving Earth is dangerous. I wonder if we’ve found a planet suitable for human habitation.”

Senju is overthinking it. Earth is a planet suitable for human habitation. If we want to find other planets, there are many more than just humans on them.

"Turn right here." Number Six reminded everyone to stop discussing the previous topic, since it sounded like wishful thinking. Qianhu turned the car into a passage on the right. It wasn't very high inside, and Number Six started moving around on the floor, as if it were water.

"We'll be at the elevator soon," came the excited voice of Number Six from the surroundings. Yuri, lying on the side, watched Number Six moving around freely on the ground with a hint of envy. "Can it change into any shape? That's great, it looks like so much fun."

“Freedom isn’t such a good thing,” said Number Six’s projection on the ground, as if Yuri’s words had reminded her of something. “If freedom meant you could go anywhere, then it would mean there was nowhere you really wanted to go.”

"You just said you were very free, right? What do you do when you're all alone?" Qianhu asked, looking at Number Six next to her. According to Number Six, she had been here alone for a long time.

“Sometimes I write poetry,” Number Six answered from the side. Qianhu listened with some curiosity, “Poetry? What kind of poetry is it?”

“Lately, everything has been written in binary, which is a bit difficult for humans. I occasionally show it to the machine,” Number Six floated to the front of the car.

“Indeed, machine code is composed of binary code. Every word a human writes is a string of numbers when converted into binary code,” Thousand Hands said after listening to the conversation. He understood that the poems Six had mentioned were easy words for machines to understand, but for humans they were just a string of 0s and 1s with no clear meaning.

“That’s right,” Number Six said, then stopped next to the wall in front of him. “This is it.”

Qianhu stopped the car and looked at the wall. As Number Six spoke, a door opened in the wall, and bright lights came in.

"Oh, it's so spacious!" The three of them got into the car and went inside, only to find that it was a huge room, the size of which was like a huge playground, with many lights illuminating it.

“We can get to the top using this elevator,” Number Six floated to the side. Senju looked around but didn’t find any similar devices. There was a flat ground around them, with some materials scattered on one side. Yuri looked around excitedly and asked, “Is this what we’re talking about?”

She excitedly jumped out of the car and looked around, while Number Six floated to the other side. "If we're going up there, I'll bring you the map we need for our destination."

"Ah, thank you," Chito said, stopping the car. Senju looked around in confusion, as there didn't seem to be any machines in the room.

"In exchange, I have a request," as Number Six spoke, a cylinder slowly rose from the ground, and then an interface appeared on it. "I hope you can operate this terminal."

The three of them went over to take a look. The terminal protruding from the cylinder was a numeric keypad and a lens that looked like a camera.

"Is this the interface for controlling the elevator?" Senju looked at the keyboard and screen, which seemed very familiar. He stood in front of it and started looking at it. "Do I need to enter a password?"

"First, please enter these numbers," Number Six did not deny it, and then a string of numbers appeared above her head.
