The thousand-household commander was quite dissatisfied with the harvest, as there was practically nothing usable. Yuri, on the other hand, was holding a pistol and aiming it around aimlessly, saying, "Little Qian, look, isn't it cool?"
"We don't need guns. Let's see what else we can use." Qianhu peered into a truck from the outside, and Yuri scoffed before throwing the pistol away.
The vehicle was filled with metal barrels, and no one knew what was inside. When Yuri saw this, she was about to shoot a hole in them with her gun. "Get out of the way, Chihiro, let me see what this is."
"Stop right now! If it's fuel, we're all doomed!" Chito quickly tackled Yuri to the ground, then noticed her grinning face and realized he'd been tricked. He angrily gave her a headbutt, and Yuri rolled around in the snow laughing.
Senju picked up a bucket to examine it and found that it contained glue. He then used his iron sword to cut a hole in it. Chito and Yuri ran over to watch. Inside was a translucent white solid, and a pungent smell emanated from it, but it was immediately blown away by the wind.
"What is this? It doesn't smell appetizing at all." Yuri pinched her nose in disgust, and Chito next to her said the same thing. "It really doesn't look like anything edible. Chito, what are these?"
"This must be glue, even though it's dried up like this now," Senju said, and the smell gradually disappeared after he put the bucket away. The two people next to him breathed a sigh of relief.
"Glue? What's it for? You're not going to drink it, are you?"
"No, it's for sticking things together, but I don't know if it's still useful now," Senju looked into his pack and saw two more slime lumps. "Oh, there's another one. Looks like it's still useful."
"Oh, I see. Yuri, what are you doing? Come down quickly," Chito nodded in understanding, and then tried to shake off Yuri who was hugging him from behind.
Unfortunately, Yuri was holding on tightly from behind, so even though she was being tossed around, she didn't fall off. "Haha, Chihiro and I are stuck together now, ahahaha."
"Hmph!" Qianhu's eyes changed, and he fell backward, pinning Yuri underneath. "It hurts!" Yuri struggled underneath.
Watching the two playfully fighting, Senju kept cutting open the buckets next to him and filling them with the contents. In the end, he got dozens of slime blocks and a pile of broken buckets and other debris. However, the pungent smell made the two playful people run away.
After packing everything up, Chito ran over, took out a cylindrical object, and handed it to Senju, saying, "Here you go, a telescope."
"A telescope?" Senju asked, somewhat confused. "Why are you giving me this? There's nowhere else to look around right now."
“I just found it. You don’t have it yet, right?” Chito then looked around. “Yu and I already have it. It’s very convenient for us to see far away.”
"Oh, then I'll take it. This will make finding things much easier," Senju said, picking up the binoculars and looking around. Although the surrounding area was full of tall buildings that blocked the view, she could still make out the things above. "Thank you, Senju."
Seeing that she hadn't collected much, Chito was a little worried. However, Yuri placed some tin cans and cardboard boxes on the platform next to her and then pulled her to stand aside. Yuri then practiced her marksmanship there, while Chito stood aside watching the results being reported.
Gunshots, accompanied by Qianhu's voice, echoed across the ruins. Yuri hit her target almost every time, with only one or two misses. After a while, she had knocked everything out of the place.
"Senju, why don't you give it a try? We still have plenty of bullets." Chito pushed Senju forward, and Senju was eager to try, wanting to achieve a good result. After setting up the target, Senju raised the gun and aimed.
"Missing," Senju missed his first shot, but it didn't matter, he took the second shot.
"
Missed. "No problem, there's a third shot."
"Missing," there must be something wrong with this gun. Senju felt his face turn red, but he kept firing until he had fired more than a dozen shots.
“Hit,” Senju finally stopped. Yuri patted Senju on the shoulder, “Senju and Senju don’t have this kind of talent either. I’ll protect you from now on.”
“You’re right. Even if there are bullets everywhere, Senju’s marksmanship is still too dangerous,” Senju said, pointing to the abandoned vehicle in the distance. Then the two of them noticed that the vehicle, which was a dozen meters away from the platform, was covered with fresh bullet holes.
“...I’ll stick with swords from now on.” After a moment of silence, Senju took out an iron sword and brandished it. The two people beside her fell into an eerie silence for a while before Yuri finally spoke, “Samurai.”
“They really do look alike, and they’re even wearing armor,” Chito nodded in agreement. Senju was speechless for a moment, then pulled out a large iron plate to use as a shield and looked at the two of them.
"Hmm, a metal plate?" Yuri thought for a moment before speaking. Senju could only lie speechlessly on the ground. After playing around for a while, everyone gathered up the usable items and waited for Senju to pack them up. After packing them up, Senju began the final operation.
He swung his pickaxe and started knocking on the carts. After a while, all that was left on the ground were iron ingots, iron railings, and some other materials, such as thread and dye, which Senju packed up.
However, looking at the number of vehicles around him, Senju gave up his wish to destroy them all. Yuri, who was in the car next to him, called out to him to get back in the car quickly, as they were about to leave.
Senju looked at the iron plate left on the ground, took out the dye, drew a shield shape on it, and then returned to the car. The three of them began a new journey.
Chapter Twenty-One: The Infinite Corridor
After leaving the ruins, Chito went on a search for targets. He originally wanted to take advantage of the good weather to gather more supplies, but after searching several places, the three of them only found some spare parts and the like. Chito wouldn't normally take these with him, but now that he had Senju, they entrusted them all to him.
As Qianhu drove past a huge building, a large hole in the wall caught Yuri's attention. "Look, look! There's a hole there! There must be something good there!"
“Really? Since Yu said so, let’s go in and look.” Qianhu also felt that they needed to try their luck. After looking at the roads inside, they drove in. Once inside, they realized that this was part of a factory. The roads inside were intricate and complex, and the factory was much larger than the ones they had looked for before.
After a while, it got dark, and Qianhu turned on the headlights and drove along the steel road. Along the way, they could vaguely see huge machines on both sides, but they didn't find anything that looked like a warehouse. "You, is there really something here?"
"Huff, huff," Yuri had already fallen asleep in the car, and Senju next to her was also half asleep. Senju didn't hear the reply from behind. Suddenly, Senju braked, and the two in the back woke up with a start. "What happened? What's going on?"
Yuri aimed her gun around, but although only the headlights illuminated the area, it was still very dark inside the car, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
"What are you doing, Yuri?" Chito's deep voice came from the front, startling Yuri, who quickly put down her gun and asked with a grin, "Chiri, what's wrong? Where are we?"
"Yu, is there really something here? Let's go out, it's too dark in here."
"Is there nothing here? Then let's leave."
Although Yuri said that, Chito didn't start the car and drive away. Yuri was a little puzzled, "Chito, why aren't you driving?"
"I've forgotten the route. Senju and Yu, do you remember the way?" Senju said somewhat fearfully. However, the two people in the car were even more clueless about the route; all they could see were blurry images.
“I don’t remember the way. I was sleeping just now,” Yuri replied matter-of-factly. Senju also shook her head. “I don’t remember either. I couldn’t see the way at all when I was behind.”
"That's true, it looks like we're lost," Chito said, sounding a little discouraged. But Yuri behind him wasn't worried at all. "It's okay, we'll find the way out if we keep looking around."
After hearing Yuri's words, Chito could only start the vehicle and continue forward, hoping to find an exit and leave this place as soon as possible.
However, after driving around for a long time, the car was still wandering aimlessly in this factory area. Qianhu also felt tired. "I'm hungry. Let's take a break."
Then she stopped the car and looked at the two people in the back, only to find that they were both asleep. She was so angry that she punched them both awake. After they woke up, the two kept apologizing, and only then did Qianhu let them go.
After Senju installed the electric heater, he built a small pool, filled it with water, and then started cooking soup. Yuri lit an oil lamp next to him, and the three of them waited for their meal under the lamplight.
"This place is huge, how do we get out?" Chito was still a little worried, then remembered something else, "Chiju, how much fuel and food do we have left?"
"Hmm, we still have two barrels of fuel, five boxes of compressed food, dozens of fish, and some bread," Senju said after taking stock of the items, realizing that the supplies were too few.
"Is this all? That's enough," Chito thought, but she believed it was too much, because she usually only had...
All I brought was a barrel of fuel, two boxes of food, and a few barrels of water.
After a while, the soup was ready. As usual, Yuri was happiest during mealtimes, having been looking forward to eating for a long time. After Chiho distributed a cup to everyone, she quickly took it and drank it. "It's so hot."
The two people next to her were speechless for a moment, but seeing how happy she was, they decided to ignore her and slowly started drinking their soup. After a while, Yuri held out her cup and said, "Give me some more."
"there is none left!"
"Tch, stingy."
After finishing the soup, Qianhu yawned. She was already very tired from driving. Looking at the two people next to her, she said, "I'm going to take a nap. Call me if you need anything."
After saying that, she lay down in the car, covered herself with the blanket, and started to sleep. Yuri poured out the pot for a while and found that there was really nothing left in it. She looked at Senju expectantly and said, "Give me food."
“No, we don’t know how long it will take to get out,” Senju shook his head, and a voice came from the car next to him, “No, we need to conserve food now and talk about it after we get out.”
"Oh dear, how could this be? This is too much!" But Yuri didn't insist. Instead, she went to the car and slept with Chito.
"Aren't you tired enough?"
"Hehehe," Yuri just smiled at Chito, but Chito couldn't stay awake any longer and wanted to sleep. "Alright, let's sleep together."
Thousand Hands wasn't sleepy yet. After extinguishing the oil lamp, he placed a torch over the pool and started fishing. This was the only way he knew to gain experience, but unfortunately, upgrading this system wouldn't increase his physique; it could only be used to repair things and enchant.
After getting another bunch of stuff, the fishing rod was destroyed again. However, Senju was glad that fishing not only yielded fish, but also a bunch of other items, including the fishing rod. This time, he was lucky enough to get an enchanted fishing rod with the enchantment effect of Lure II marked on it, and the fishing rod was also emitting a purple light.
Looking at the gleaming fishing rod in his hand, Senju decided to wait until he found a large body of water before using this precious fishing rod. After fishing for a while, he felt a little sleepy, so he took out his little cart, spread out a blanket, and fell asleep inside.
After an unknown amount of time, Senju was finally awakened. However, seeing that there was only the light of torches around him and darkness in the distance, he realized that he was still in the labyrinth.
Chito had already cooked the food, and then Yuri woke him up. After a good moment of wakefulness, Chito got out of the car and ate 'breakfast' with everyone.
After finishing their meal, Senju packed up their belongings and sat back down in the tracked vehicle. This time, everyone was full of energy. "Great! We must find the exit today!"
"Oh!" Yuri and Senju shouted from behind, and then Chito started the vehicle, and the headlights turned on, illuminating the road ahead.
Chapter Twenty-Two: Infinite Darkness
Looking at the road illuminated by the headlights, Chito slowly started the vehicle. Although he didn't know the route, he believed that if he kept following this road, there would eventually be an exit. With everyone's hope, Chito slowly began to search for the road. Yuri in the back hummed a song, "Let's go, let's go, let's go."
However, after walking for a while, it was still dark all around, and Yuri's lyrics changed to, "Darkness, darkness, so dark." Surprisingly, she sang quite well, but Chitoge in front of her got angry and said, "Stop singing, Yuri."
Yuri stopped singing, but after a while, Chito said apologetically, "Yuri, you should continue singing. It's too quiet and it's scary."
“Okay, but that’s all I can sing. Senju, do you have any songs?” Yuri looked at Senju expectantly, but it was too dark around her and Senju didn’t notice her at all.
"Singing? I'm not very good at singing. How about I tell you about the past instead?" Senju had no confidence in her singing voice and preferred to talk about the past of the land.
"Really? What was the land like before?" Yuri and Chito were both a little confused, but they also wanted to hear what it was like before.
After organizing her thoughts, Senju began to recount the past world: "In the past, people lived on the earth, which was made of soil. In some places, there were mountains, which were made of many stones. There were also many forests on the earth, filled with many trees and plants, and many kinds of animals..."
As Senju explained, Yuri and Chito kept asking questions, because they had heard of some of the terms but had no idea what they meant. After a while, Senju's explanation turned into a question-and-answer session between the two of them.
I could understand most of what they said about the thousand hands, so I explained it to them using appropriate words. However, for the ones they didn't quite understand, I explained them to them based on the literal meaning of the words and my own understanding.
"Wow, Senju, you know so much!" Sento turned around and praised Senju. But just as Senju was about to be modest, something seemed to be in front of him. Looking up, he saw a wall appear in the light ahead, but Sento didn't react at all. "Watch out, Sento, there's a wall in front of us!"
"Huh? What? Whoa!" Qianhu noticed the wall in front of him and quickly stepped on the brakes. The people behind him also swayed. They were relieved to see that they hadn't crashed into the wall.
"Be careful, Senju. Let me drive for a bit, you take a rest," Senju said, wanting to relieve Senju.
The head of the household was about to drive, but the head of the household did not agree. "It's okay, I was just a little distracted, it's absolutely fine."
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Xiaoqian and watch the road. I've always been the one helping Xiaoqian with directions, and there haven't been any problems so far."
"You, you're basically sleeping most of the time, aren't you?" Chito complained helplessly.
"Really? Hehehe," Yuri seemed a little embarrassed and started practicing her singing. After listening for a while, Senju wanted to teach her to sing, but he didn't know many songs, and his singing sounded very strange. After Yuri practiced for a while, it sounded even stranger, and Senju in front of him couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, what are you singing, You? It's so weird."
“So this is the song? Chihiro thinks it’s weird too? Hmm, it’s definitely not as good as my own singing.” Yuri became even more proud after Chihiro said that, and changed the lyrics to the original melody, “So dark, so dark, so dark.”
Accompanied by the somewhat monotonous song, the car continued its journey along the steel road. Although it was dark all around, everyone relaxed.
However, after walking for an unknown amount of time, the surroundings were still completely dark, and all he could vaguely see were similar scenes. Qianhu finally became somewhat discouraged, "Is there any way to get out of here?"
"Hmm, I can open up gaps in all the walls I encounter, and then I can get out directly," Senju suggested smugly after thinking for a moment, but unfortunately the two people next to him disagreed.
“That’s certainly a method, but there are no walls around, just huge machines,” Yuri looked around and realized that they were in mid-air.
Sento looked around at the steel machinery and rejected Senju's suggestion, "It's too dangerous. If we leave these paths, it will be even harder to find the exit."
"Yeah, that's true. Let's try again after we hit a wall. Yuri, it's up to you now."
“Leave it to me,” Yuri said, then took a spoon from her bosom, placed it on the car and spun it around. After a while, she told Chito, “Turn left.”
“There’s no way over there, we’re still in mid-air, neither of your methods worked,” Chito said helplessly, while Yuri was very puzzled. “No way? That’s impossible,” she said angrily, then shouted at Spoon, “You useless guy, why did you give me the wrong directions?”
Chitoge's eyes turned dead, and he stared at Yuri. Even in the darkness, Yuri's eyes seemed to glow faintly. Startled, Yuri quickly put away her spoon and gave Chitoge a forced laugh.
Chito sighed and let her go. However, after driving for so long, Chito was also tired. But the two people next to him were not very good drivers, so he couldn't let them drive the car.
