food chain
Looking at the past, the flames soared into the sky, and the raging fire gradually burned the building in front of the teenagers and girls. The surging heat wave has made the temperature rise sharply, which was still slightly cold.
"Pain, pain, pain!" Chito rubbed his head and stood up with some pain.
"What a terrifying weapon!" The young man who had already stood firm stood at the door of the cab and sighed as he looked at the mess outside.
Hearing the boy's words, Chinohe and Yuri also stood up and walked to the door of the cab to look out.
“…… It's so powerful............ There is such a weapon! Qianhu said in fear after looking at the result of the robot with just one blow.
"Hahahaha............ That's amazing, isn't it? Yuri laughed maniacally and lamented the robot's destructive power.
“………… Is this something to be happy about? An enraged Senhu punched the laughing Yuri to the seat.
“………… I'm sorry! Yuri, who got carried away due to a moment of excitement, finally came to her senses after being slapped by a thousand households.
"Why is humanity always going further and further down the path of how to destroy and kill!" The boy sighed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fire was burning all the time, and there was no need to extinguish it......
"It feels so hot over there............" Yuri said, looking at the burning spot in the distance.
"Anyway, it's getting a little hot on our side now!" Chiho said as he took off his coat.
"If you fight with this weapon............ Soon it will be a sea of fire! Yuri also took off her coat hotly and said with an open shirt fanning the wind.
"Our guns are really incomparable............ Is this also something made by ancient people............" Chiho sighed as he leaned on the monitor.
"Only such a weapon can create such a world!" The boy looked at everything in front of him and finally understood why the world was the way it was.
"Fubo is right! It's because of such powerful weapons that this city has become like this! Qianhu also nodded and said.
"That's the guy who is wrong! ………… It's unforgivable! Yuri yelled and kicked the console a few times.
"No............ It's not the weapon that's wrong, it's the person who uses it, and this robot is something that can't move until someone sits on it! Chiho corrected.
"Qianhu is right! If no one uses it, no matter how powerful a weapon is, it's just scrap metal! The boy said.
"Yes! What a terrible person! Actually turned the street like this! Yuri said unconsciously.
"That's you, Yu! Wasn't it just the wreaking havoc you wanted? Qianhu said with a white glance at Yuri.
“………… The root cause is terrifying............" said Nuko, who came out of nowhere.
“…… Yes! Yuri nodded.
"Ahh …… nuko! Qianhu said in surprise.
"nuyi~~~" nuko got into Yuri's arms with a twist.
"Good! ............ obediently," Yuri stroked Nuko's back.
"Looks like I'm going to have to sleep here today!" Chiho said as he looked at the fire that was still burning outside.
"Indeed! There was a raging fire outside, and it was indeed not very suitable for rest. The boy exclaimed.
"Na! Now I think it's better to wear a helmet! Yuri said suddenly.
“…… Why? Qianhu asked.
"Because...... You see! Bombs, lights, and the like might fly over! Yuri said.
"So even if you're wearing a helmet, those things will die when they fly over." Qianhu squinted and said.
While the three of them were talking, the sensors in the sky received the smoke alarm, stretched out the sprinkler head, and the dripping water droplets began to fall from the sky and gradually extinguish the flames burning on the ground!
"Is this rain?" Yuri asked, looking at the droplets of water falling from the sky.
"It's under the city, so it shouldn't be raining!" Qianhu said.
"I guess the fire fighting system that is still working in this city is working!" The teenager explained.
"Firefighting?" Yuri asked.
"The city was designed with fire in mind, so we sprayed fire extinguishing agents to extinguish the fires in front of us." The boy stuck out his head and pointed to the faucet that was still spraying water at the zenith.
"Really!" Yuri said as she stuck her head out as she followed the boy's example.
"And are we going to spend the night here tonight?" Qianhu asked.
"Well! After all, there are still some places where there are still embers, and the buildings in this area are not as solid as before after the fire, so it is better to sleep in the cab for safety! The boy said.
"Hmmm! That's right............"
The three of them then had dinner and then curled up in the cab of the giant robot and fell asleep......
The next morning, the teenagers and girls felt soreness due to the problem of their sleeping posture, and they woke up and moved for a while before feeling better.
"Let's go after breakfast! I just looked outside, and now I can hardly find any flames burning, so we'll find a safer way to move on. The boy said as he put his luggage into the carry-on space that Nuko had handled earlier.
"Oh! The car is getting bigger again! Yuri sat in the car and stroked Nuko in her arms.
"Well! Thanks to nuko, the energy in the space has been devoured! Chiho also put his precious books and diaries into his personal space. Probably because there are fewer water devil fruits eaten! The space of the boy and the thousand households only has a capacity of about 8 cubic meters, and Yuri, who eats a full quarter of the Devil Fruit, can store about 80 cubic meters of items, which is more than five times the size of the two combined.
"Except for food that is reserved for eating on the road and sharing risks, put everything else into Yuri's space!" The teenager suggested to.
"After all, she has a lot more space!" Qianhu nodded and said.
"Oh! Leave it to me. Yuri patted her chest excitedly and said.
“………… Don't steal it! Chiho warned as he handed Yuri the unopened box of solid military rations.
"Don't worry! Just leave it to me............" Yuri said as she put the box handed over by Sento into her space.
Chinohe and Yuri continued in the direction of Nuko's guidance after the boy removed the energy from the robot's back.
"Na! Why didn't Fubo-chan just turn that energy block into food and take it away? Qianhu asked.
"That's right! I'm curious to see what kind of food that block can be turned into! Yuri asked as well.
"Because energy blocks don't go bad! In the past, energy blocks were turned directly into food because the car was too small to store, but now that you have a carry-on space, you don't have to turn energy blocks that can be stored almost permanently into food with an expiration date! The boy explained.
“………… So that's it! Qianhu nodded and said.
After leaving the fire area, the three of them walked and stopped through many places......
"I feel like I have a personal space where I can store my belongings, and even the speed of the car is much lighter!" Yuri felt the breeze blowing in her face and said to Chino, who was driving.
"After all, it can be regarded as reducing the load on the car!"
"But Qian-chan, it seems that the fuel is running out!" Yuri patted the oil drum at the rear of the halftrack and said.
"Yes! We're also going to start looking for a facility that can supply oil. Qianhe looked down at the oil gauge and said after looking at the oil gauge, which was only about less than one-third of the amount of oil.
"If only I could find it before the car runs out of gas!"
"It would be great if that were the case!" Chido nodded, not paying attention to the value of the fuel gauge, and drove straight forward.
The trio were lucky enough to find a fuel supply facility at the door of what looked like a wind farm plant, smaller than the one Kanazawa had found on the lower level.
“………… Isn't there any more? Qianhu looked at the fuel supply port, which was no longer dripping with fuel, and said regretfully.
"Well! In addition to the fuel tank that filled the car, the oil drum was about 70% full............" Yuri said, moving the oil drum.
"Does the fuel taste good?" Chinohe asked as he looked at Nuko, who was drinking the fuel that accidentally leaked while refueling on the ground.
“…… Delicious! ”
"Nuko is so good! There are things to eat all over the place............" Yuri said as she looked at Nuko enviously.
“………… Thank goodness ......"
"Don't we have floating waves too?" Thousands of households reminded.
"If I hadn't encountered the floating wave sauce, it would have been ............an emergency," Yuri drooled as she looked at Nuko, who had already finished drinking fuel and returned to the car.
"You don't want to eat this, do you?" Chito heard the meaning of Yuri's words and said speechlessly.
"I didn't think about it! I didn't think about how nutritious looks white, soft, and delicious! Yuri forced her defense.
"Isn't it all said............ the young man next to him said speechlessly. Even Nuko moved away from the predator Yuri as if her life was in danger.
"It must smell of gunpowder and fuel!" Qianhu said.
"Gunpowder may or may not be unexpectedly delicious!" Yuri said unrelentingly.
"Then you just eat gunpowder!" Chiho glanced at her and drove into the gate of the wind power plant.
"Anyway............ In that case, you won't even want to eat it too, will you? ”
"Ahh And this hand! Yuri called.
"Don't look like you're in a flash of inspiration!" Qianhu said speechlessly.
"It's called a food chain thing." Yuri said.
"It's not enough to just revolve around two people!" Qianhu was speechless.
"That's why it's nice to be able to meet Ukiba-chan!" Yuri sighed again about the necessity of the teenager, and sat down in the car to play with Nuko.
"That's not wrong............ Qianhu nodded in agreement.
“………… It's almost here............" said Nuko, who was lying on Yuri's stomach, suddenly.
"Oh! Is it finally here............" Yuri cheered up as soon as she heard this.
"Let's see! …… What the hell is there! The boy said as he looked in the direction Nuko was pointing.
"Chi-chan!"
"Got it!"
After saying that, Qianhu sped up and drove forward..................
