Introducing Minecraft in The World in Ruin!

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Still in the City Full of Snow



After listening to the words of the two, Senju felt that his thinking was too simple. This layer of city was built by "ancient people" with very advanced technology.

How could they communicate with each other through these laborious passages? Maybe it was just used for sightseeing or for emergency use, or maybe it was a road built by people in modern times to connect up and down...

But three will not pursue who built these towers. In this apocalyptic world, even if there are wonders like these towers, no one of them will understand why and how they build them in the end. The building can only stood there, silently awaiting to collapse.

(T/L: Changed 'decay' to 'collapse', since I don't know if 'decay' is the more appropriate term in this.)

They were a little amazed at the architecture here, and after being amazed, they left these things behind. Their journey is constantly forward. They may leave a few photos of this place and will leave soon.

Although Chito wanted to rush to the upper floor as soon as possible, the light from the sun outside had been replaced by lights from street lights, and the lighting inside the tower was slightly dark. There were often gaps on the spiral stairs, so the three of them decided to climb the tower again tomorrow morning.

Tonight they rested inside the tower. After finding a corner, Senju had put down the electric stove and placed a pressure plate right next to it. Chito was very curious about the iron plate next to the stove.

'Why were two unrelated things kept together?' Chito thought, puzzled at the sight in front of her

"Senju, what's the use of this iron plate? Is it of any use next to the stove?? " She tapped the pressure plate with curiosity, while Yuuri was cooking wheat to make rice for dinner next to the stove with a pious expression.

"This is a 'pressure plate'. Putting something heavy on it can make the machine next to it powered, like a source of energy." Senju said a little bit about the function of the pressure plate.

After listening to this, Yuuri suddenly had an idea, "Oh, it's pretty awesome. Although I don't quite understand it, but if you put one in the car, doesn't that mean we don't need to use up any fuel?"

"Don't make it so simple. How can such a good car be modified casually? If it breaks, it will be terrible if I can't repair it." Chito was very opposed to the idea of modifying the car.

"Oh, that's right! Senju, you are so evil. You actually want to destroy Chii-chan's car." Yuuri threw the blame to Senju and tried to pass the test by being cute, but she was smacked in the head by Chito. Yuuri, after a while, showed that she had repented.

Senju laughed at the scene happening infront of him. He has seen a lot of the daily interactions of these two .

Although they have different personalities, their relationship is really good.

(T/L: I mean they ARE sisters, even then having such a good relationship with your sibling. Is what I consider rare... speaking from experience.)

After the food was done cooking, the three started eating. Although it is not as delicious as Senju's fish and bread, but in this world, a meals a meal.

After tidying up, the three of them were ready to rest, but this time Yuuri and Chito were sleeping in the car, while Senju built a concave wooden grid for himself and rested inside.

"Good night," Chito said as she layed in the car and prepared to go to sleep, but Yuuri began to tease Senju, "Senju~do you want to come over and sleep together? It's very warm here hehe~."

"..." Senju blushed slightly at this tease.

But before Senju could say anything, Chito suddenly sat up and objected, "No, three people won't fit in the car, absolutely not."

"Hmm you're right Chii-chan~. Ju-chan is covered in hard metal and is cold. It won't be warm here even if you sleep in the car."

(T/L: I noticed that Yuuri said in the raw 'Qian Shu', so I renamed it 'Ju-chan' or would it be 'Sen-san'? For now whenever I see 'Qian Shu' i'll just translate it to 'Ju-chan'.)

After thinking for a while, Yuuri said with her hand in her chin, and then she rushed to Chito again. "It's getting late, I'd better sleep with Chii-chan, huh huh."

The two girls calmed down after a while of arguing in the car, and a few minutes later, they fell asleep after saying good night.

Senju was left speechless at the two people's interaction, but being able to maintain such vitality and spirit in this world can be said to be a talent. With them, his anxiety and worries seemed to gradually disappear.

Senju, who was lying on the wooden block, was a little confused about the future. The food crisis had been resolved. Now he was afraid of getting involved in the war at the lower level and did not dare to move forward anymore. What should he do in the future?

After thinking for a while, Senju still had no clue, but for the time being he would follow them to see where their trip ended.

With all kinds of thoughts spinning in his mind, Senju gradually fell asleep.

After waking up in the morning, the three of them boiled some water and ate some rice for breakfast. After packing their things, Senju took out his car and stepped on the pressure plate, and the three of them were on the road again.

(T/L: Hmm I'm getting confused on what 'compressed grain' is, the first time I saw it I thought it was wheat seeds (then again it might've been, in their first interaction), now I'm thinking it could be 'military ration'. Since I remember that's the food Yuuri and Chito have been eating sometimes in the anime...)

Encountering broken concrete on the road made Chito very scared and worried, but Senju had a way to deal with these places, especially after he had a crafted a stonecutter and prepared many concrete blocks, which could be installed on the broken places to continue passing.

(T/L: Changed 'work bench' to 'stonecutter' this time since it felt appropriate, considering it mentioned concrete blocks.)

Chito remained skeptical as the wheels clung to the road, not just because the steps beneath her were crafted from thin steel. How could they possibly support the weight of the vehicle?

Senju had no choice but to demonstrate firsthand. Eventually, Chito drove cautiously, her doubts slowly giving way.

However, as the distance increased, the number of gaps also increased.

After a few times, Chito became accustomed to it. Whenever she encountered a gap, he would call Senju to fill it.

He just walked around to fill it, and finally they almost reached the upper level. At the bottom, the three people stopped here for a while and looked out at the city outside from the side window.

The city now looks a bit ethereal. It seems that because we are standing too high, many places cannot be seen clearly.

However, now they can see the appearance of a large area of ​​the city, with densely packed buildings arranged below.

Occasionally, there are some strange buildings, but now they are covered with ice and snow. It seems that the rainwater did not occur in this direction.

Yuuri stood at the window and took pictures below. After the three of them were silent for a while, they continued to move upward. This time, the light from outside would not shine in. The lights of both cars were turned on, and bright lights shone in front of them. The journey dispelled the surrounding darkness,

After advancing for an unknown amount of time in this seemingly endless darkness, they finally saw light appearing in front of them. The three couldn't help but get excited and speed up. After a while, they saw a huge exit appearing next to them, and the light was coming from there.

"Shine~~~~~~~"

After driving out of the tower, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This seemingly infinite spiral passage finally reached its end. Although there were still stairs ahead, everyone did not want to continue for the time being.

After arriving at the new level, the city outside was still covered with snowflakes, and the traces of Senju's activities in those days had long disappeared. It seemed that the wind and snow had buried everything.

After arriving at this level, Senju originally wanted to rely on his own map to guide the way, but found that the map still showed the terrain below and had not been updated because he had reached a new place.

While Senju was still struggling with the map, Chito and Yuuri had already driven far away. Yuuri shouted loudly to Senju, which woke up the boy from his daze. He quickly chased after them, preparing to explore the city of snow and steel again.
