Offer blocks to the end times

"Let's take a break, Senju. Do you still have any grilled fish?" Senju decided to have something good to eat. Senju looked in her bag and saw that there was still some grilled fish from a few days ago. However, it hadn't changed at all and was still warm.

"Oh, and don't you need some water?" Senju was worried the grilled fish would be too dry, but Yuri next to her held up a military water bottle like a treasure. "Here you go, Senju, can I have one too?"

"Sigh, one for everyone, including You. Please, Commander."

"Great, dinner's ready."

After Senju gave each of them a fish, the three of them drank some water and ate the grilled fish. These strange fish were simply prepared for eating; they didn't even have fish bones inside, they were just fish in shape.

However, when Senju told the two of them about her discovery, they were both surprised. Fish actually have bones? They'll have to be more careful in the future. Senju was practically ready to flip the table in her mind. How could they not care about such a big discovery?

Did you know that with bones you have unlimited food, wood, and all sorts of flowers and plants? Thinking of this, Senju felt something was off, but his idea was perfectly reasonable. He decided to eat some fish to calm his nerves.

After eating the fish, everyone rested for a while. Thousand Hands continued to tell stories of the past. After he finished, everyone started their journey again. However, in this dark world, even time became blurred. They would walk for a while, then rest, eat something, and listen to stories. They didn't know how long this went on, but they were still wandering around here.

Gradually, everyone felt as if they had walked countless similar paths, but they couldn't find a way out. However, life here was still pretty good, and they just hoped that this wonderful life could continue forever.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Infinite Starlight

"It's so dark, so dark, so dark," Yuri's singing drifted through the dimly lit factory. Chito continued driving forward, while Senju fell asleep in the back.

"It's so noisy."

"I'm sorry..." The singing then stopped.

"It's alright, how's Senju?"

"I don't know, they're probably still sleeping."

"Ah, still sleeping."

"Of course, he also needs to switch shifts with Chihiro. By the way, let's turn on the lights." Yuri took out a fuel lamp and was about to light it.

"No, we need to conserve fuel."

"Sigh, stingy, there's still so much fuel left."

"There's hardly any left. We've already used two buckets. If Senju hadn't brought some with her, we would have run out long ago."

"Sigh, so our car can only carry so little stuff? Next time, let Senju carry more stuff, and it won't be a problem next time."

"You want a next time? Seriously, how many days has it been since we last saw the sun?" Chito teased Yuri's optimism.

"Seriously, where are we? Why did we get here?"

"You, I already told you it's you, wanting to go into the cave and take a look or something."

"Huh? Did I say that? Didn't Senju say it?" Yuri tried to argue. But she was immediately silenced by Chito. "It was you. I'll tell Senju later that you won't get any fish."

"That's too much! They know perfectly well that I love fish the most."

“This is punishment, consider it Yu’s apology. Besides, Senju also said that there aren’t many fish left.”

"Oh no, are we almost out of food?"

"Although Senju still has some, we need to find an exit quickly, otherwise we'll run out of fuel and food. We don't know if we'll be able to find food outside, or if we'll ever see anyone again. Yu, what will happen to us?"

After waiting for a while, Chito didn't get a reply from Yuri. He turned around and found that Yuri was already fast asleep. "Sigh, I'll rest for a while too. Let Senju do it for a bit."

As she spoke, she stopped the car, went up to the carriage, and patted Qian Shou's face, "Wake up quickly, it's time for your shift change."

"Oh, what time is it? Haven't you found the exit yet?" When Senju woke up, all she saw was darkness.

"No, but I want to take a nap too." With that, Qianhu yawned.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me drive for a while. You should eat something first," Senju said, handing a fish to Chito before getting into the driver's seat.

"Thank you," Chito said, then covered himself with the blanket and fell asleep with Yuri after finishing his fish.

Senju slowly started driving the car. For the past few days, Senju and Sento had been taking turns driving forward, but even driving haphazardly, they still couldn't find the exit.

Thousand Hands has been open for who knows how long. The surrounding area is still full of huge machines, and the steel road seems to be floating next to these machines, with no idea where it leads.

Suddenly, a sound came from behind. It turned out that Chito had woken up, but Yuri was still sleeping under the covers, seemingly talking in her sleep, but the sound of the car drowned out her words.

"Good morning, Senju, ah," Senju said, stretching, but then realized that one of her hands was not outstretched.

"Are you awake? How were you sleeping?" Senju felt a jolt of energy when she heard the voice behind her; she had almost fallen asleep from boredom.

"It's still the same, a bit noisy and so cold, umm umm umm," Chito said as if she had discovered something, and then she realized that Yuri was holding her hand in her mouth. She quickly pulled her hand out, and then the two people next to her heard Yuri talking in her sleep, "Grilled fish, so delicious, hehehe."

"That guy Yu," Chito looked at his hands covered in liquid with displeasure, but after a while, as if sensing something, he stretched his hand out into the air, "Ah, there's a breeze."

"Hey, Chito, what are you saying?" Senju didn't quite hear what Chito said, but then Chito excitedly shouted, "The wind! I can feel the wind here. If I just follow the wind, I can find the exit!"

"Yuri, don't sleep anymore, get up quickly!" Chito excitedly shook Yuri awake, and Yuri finally woke up.

After waking her up, Chito asked Yuri to help him sense the direction. After hearing Chito's explanation, Yuri joined in the wind measurement work.

"Ah," after both of them moistened their mouths with a little saliva, they began to feel the wind, and then they pointed in one direction, "This way."

Following the two people's instructions, Qian Shou kept adjusting the car's direction. After making several turns, a flash of light appeared ahead.

"It's light!" the group exclaimed. As the car drew closer and they passed several steps, the three of them found themselves in the bright light outside.

When they first came out, the light was a bit too bright, but after they got used to it, they realized that it was already night. There were some lights in the surrounding city, but the light that Senju and the others felt came from the starry sky.

"It's so bright! I never imagined it could be this bright at night!" Yuri exclaimed, hugging Chito. Chito was also stunned by the sight. "So it's nighttime now."

"Chihiro, I want to drink soup," Yuri insisted, wanting to drink the soup ingredients that Chihiro had treasured. These were precious items that she had kept hidden in the car, and even Chihiro didn't know about them.

"Okay, since it's the last can anyway, let's celebrate."

"Great, time to eat."

After a brief moment of excitement, the three realized they were on a railway bridge suspended in mid-air. After traveling along the bridge for a while, they finally returned to the road.

After finding a corner, Sento rummaged through the car and found a jar. Senju also set up the electric stove and took out some raw fish to grill on the fuel stove.

After a while, the soup was ready. After everyone received their share, Yuri couldn't wait to drink it. "It's so hot!"

After taking a sip, everyone finally relaxed and felt extremely comfortable. They realized how good it is to be alive. After finishing their food, they looked at the starlight in the sky. Suddenly, streaks of shooting stars streaked across the sky, and the three of them were mesmerized.

Looking at these shooting stars, Senju thought of his hometown, which he didn't know was somewhere.

Perhaps it was somewhere in the night sky, gazing at the stars and lost in thought.

The two people next to them were also looking at the starry sky and exclaiming, "I never knew the night sky could be so bright!"

"It's probably because they've been in the cave for a long time and have become more sensitive to light."

"Is that so? What happens after the sun comes out?"

"Yes, they'll be burned to death."

"Aaaaaah, I don't want this to happen!"

"It's so noisy," Chito nudged the shouting Yuri, and the two calmed down, lost in the starry sky.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Time of Cultivation

"Wake up! You can't sleep here!" Senju, who was engrossed in the starry sky, felt cold all over after lying on the snow for a while. He quickly jumped up and found that the two people next to him were sleeping in each other's arms.

"Hmm, what's wrong? It's so cold," the two gradually woke up, then felt a chill and realized they had fallen asleep on the snow. Their bodies, which had just been warmed by hot soup, were now somewhat numb.

"Phew, that was close, I almost slept until dawn," Yuri wiped away imaginary sweat, then hugged Chihiro in front of her. "It's better to go back to the car to sleep, it's really cold without a blanket."

“That’s not the point. Sleeping on the snow can make you sick,” Senju yelled at her, but Yuri was completely confused. “Sick? Why would sleeping on the snow make you sick? Senju and I sleep outside all the time.”

"Oh, are you all in such good health? Are you really okay?"

"It's alright, Senju. The temperature is still quite high today, and there's no wind. It's perfectly fine." However, Senju still pulled the dazed Yuri back into the carriage, and the two lay down again.

"Well, you're in great shape, but let's go into the building over there," Senju realized that the two of them were much stronger than anyone he had ever met before, probably because they had been trained in this environment. But he still had to be careful.

Then he knocked a hole in the building next to him. The hole was empty. After tidying it up, he drove the car in. Although the car was very loud, the two of them were still fast asleep.

After glancing at the two sleeping people, Senju installed two doors at the entrance of the cave. Looking at the large space inside the building, he was quite satisfied. He had recently collected a lot of soil, and now he could plant some wheat and trees.

Thinking of this, he started laying out soil on the ground. He had found some soil in some places while searching for supplies recently, but he hadn't had enough time to cultivate anything. However, now that food was scarce, he remembered this matter.

After arranging the soil and water, he also placed torches nearby. Then, Senju used a pickaxe to tidy up the field and planted wheat. Since there were not enough wheat seeds, he used bone meal to ripen some of them before filling the field with wheat.

Although this was convenient, Qian Shou only had about thirty bone meal left. All the bone meal he had saved up before had been used up in this ripening process. He also put a few clods of soil on the side and planted some saplings. After thinking for a moment, he put a sign next to them that read "Do Not Step On" and then surrounded the area with a bunch of iron railings.

After tidying up, Senju felt relieved, no longer worried about damage. However, when he looked closely at the tools in the package, he noticed a green line on them, which indicated the tools' durability. Senju recalled that the disappearance of the fishing rod was probably due to its durability reaching zero.

Thinking of this, he decided to repair the tools. After making the anvil, he put the iron tools inside and started repairing them. After repairing the few tools he had, he found that his level had increased to level four again. Looking at the many miscellaneous items in his bag, he wondered if he could repair the broken things.

First, he tested it with a tank he had collected for a long time. This tank was one of the batches he had found in a ruin. At that time, they were still in very good condition and not very damaged, which is why Senju collected them.

After placing the tank inside, Senju thought for a moment and tried placing an iron ingot on the other side, but there was no response. After thinking for a while, he replaced the iron ingot with another tank, and then the back lit up. However, he tried it but failed. It turned out that the level was too low. After knowing this, he felt that he should collect more tanks and planes.

After finishing all that, Senju felt tired, so he took out his little car and fell asleep on it.

When he woke up again, he felt an itch on his face, as if someone was scratching it. He also heard Qianhu's voice beside him, "You, haven't you woken him up yet?"

"Ah, she woke up quickly, look, she's awake," Senju said, wriggling a few times before opening her eyes to see Yuri standing beside her. Yuri seemed to be leaving something behind, which made Senju suspicious.

However, she was immediately interrupted by Senju, "Are you awake, Senju? Hurry up and eat something before you go look for supplies."

"Thank you, but how did you manage to move all this in?" Senju looked at the pressure plate next to Chito with some confusion. He still thought that only he could move these installed items.

"Ah, you mean this? Without this iron plate, the electric furnace is completely useless. Luckily, this iron plate is very light, so I carried it over by myself," Qianhu said proudly, patting the pressure plate.

Yu chimed in, "I was the one who moved that piece of scrap metal over here."

"Shut up, You. Do you still want to eat?"

"Yes, Qian, give me the food."

After getting out of the car, Senju realized he had stepped on something. Upon closer inspection, he found it was a package that looked like it had just been opened. Shaking his head in confusion, he went to check his farmland.

After knocking a hole in the iron bars, he went inside. Yuri and Chito looked around from the outside. "Chito, is all of this wheat? Why are they all different?"

"It's because of the light, but in the end they'll all be the same." Because of the torches, the wheat seedlings in the field were uneven in height. He looked and didn't find any missing seedlings, so it didn't matter. However, the trees next to him were still the same and hadn't grown.

"Light? Why not plant it outside?" Yuri asked, puzzled, but Senju patiently explained, "It's too cold outside. Those wheat plants and trees are most afraid of snow... um!"

Senju suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a tree that wasn't afraid of the cold. Thinking about it, he rushed out, and the two behind him followed.

Once outside, he placed a clod of soil on the ground, planted a spruce sapling, and then sprinkled some bone meal on it. Instantly, the sapling grew into a tall pine tree.

"Wow, it's so tall, Senju!" Yuri looked up to see the branches above. The square, dark trunk, over ten meters high, was covered with a bunch of square leaves. Senju was also stunned. How was she supposed to get rid of all those leaves? But this tree had so much wood; it was much more useful than birch.

Chapter Twenty-Five: A Day's Stay Here

"Wow, that's amazing, Chito! Take a picture of me!" Yuri stood happily in front of the tree, while Chito fiddled with the camera.
