Underground factory.
Ishii's residence.
Ishii was the young woman who emerged from underground.
"I want to build an airplane and go see other cities…"
Yang Tao gently shook his head, looking at the 'scientist' Ishii in front of him, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are probably the only ones left in this 'world'…"
The exploration value had already reached over 80%, and even if there were truly more people, there wouldn't be more than two at most.
With good luck, he might encounter one; with bad luck…
This crappy world.
"If you want to go see, I can take you there."
Ishii, like Kanazawa, had survived in this dead city by clinging to the belief of building an airplane to visit other cities.
To be honest, if Yang Tao were just an ordinary survivor, these words would be tantamount to killing their last hope.
But he wasn't.
Ishii poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Yang Tao, saying, "But… if I don't build an airplane, what else can I do?"
Kanazawa's movements, as he fiddled with the camera, paused slightly, then he pretended as if nothing had happened and continued fiddling.
Yang Tao stretched out his hand and directly summoned the wooden door, then got up and opened the door, revealing the block world behind it.
"Since there is no longer any hope in this world, then… I will take you to a world with hope."
Ishii and Kanazawa stared blankly at the scene beyond the wooden door; they had forgotten how long it had been since they had seen a green landscape.
They wanted to go, but they were also a little timid.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the New World…"
With that, Yang Tao led the way into the wooden door and returned to the Main World. Kanazawa picked up the camera in his hand, aimed it at the wooden door, and pressed the shutter.
Then, he stepped into the wooden door without hesitation. Ishii glanced at the desk full of blueprints and books, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
However, that green world was full of attraction for her.
"Ishii, come over. If you like making airplanes, you can go to the New World…"
Yang Tao's words made Ishii make her choice, and she stepped into the wooden door.
It was a world made entirely of blocks.
Ishii looked at the square sun above her head and asked, "Are we going to live here from now on?"
"No, of course not."
Yang Tao smiled and walked to the side, directly opening the wooden door leading to the Spider-Man world.
The exit of the wooden door was no longer Harry Osborn's building, but a large hall, and as soon as the wooden door opened, someone immediately came forward to greet him.
These were the personnel Harry had specially arranged to receive Yang Tao.
They were all beautiful women with blonde hair and blue eyes, and they could fulfill all of Yang Tao's needs.
Any need they could fulfill.
A woman in an OL professional suit stepped forward and said respectfully, "Boss."
Yang Tao nodded slightly, pointing to the two people who had followed him, and said, "You are responsible for helping them get familiar with this world. Oh, they speak Japanese, so find an interpreter."
"Boss, I am proficient in English, Chinese, and Japanese."
Yang Tao glanced at the other party, a smile appearing on his face. It seemed Harry didn't just want to find him some eye candy.
"Alright, I'll leave them to you."
"Okay, Boss."
Turning to look at Ishii and Kanazawa, Yang Tao's suppressed mood found some comfort. He patted Kanazawa's shoulder and said, "Next, you will choose the life you like."
"To be honest, this world might not be so beautiful, but at least it won't be as despairing as your world."
"Thank you!"
Kanazawa fumbled in his pocket, then pulled out his lighter and handed it to Yang Tao.
"Besides my camera, this is the only thing I have to show my gratitude…"
"Please don't despise it."
Yang Tao looked at the silver-white lighter, reached out, took it, put it in his pocket, and said with a smile, "A very nice gift, I like it very much."
Waving his hand, Yang Tao returned to the Main World through the wooden door.
...
The next day.
The morning sun rose from the edge of the city, completely dispelling the surrounding darkness. Yang Tao sat quietly by the extinguished campfire.
Chito and Yuuri were sleeping soundly, especially Yuuri, who was holding Chito's hand and eating non-stop, making unintelligible sounds in her mouth. He didn't know what she was dreaming about.
[Exploration Value 96%]
"Stuck at 96…"
Yang Tao glanced at the exploration value and sighed helplessly. Last night, he had already reached the very top of the city.
Above was an abandoned submarine.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Although this world was full of contradictions and unscientific elements, the main theme was still anti-war.
Yang Tao had already imagined the two little ones climbing to the top of the city with great difficulty, only to see not hope, but a submarine representing war.
What a heartbreaking scene that would be.
Looking at Chito, who had pulled her hand out of Yuuri's embrace, Yang Tao temporarily put aside the matter of the exploration value and greeted them with a smile: "Chito, you're awake."
"Come and eat something."
"Food?!!!"
Yuuri, who was still drooling and sound asleep, immediately sat up and groggily ran to Yang Tao's side.
"Where's the food?"
Yang Tao: "…"
Chito was probably used to Yuuri's behavior, so she walked over and directly gave Yuuri a hand chop on her head.
This made Yuuri fully awake.
"Huh, Chito, why did you hit me?"
Then, with teary eyes, she said, "You… You don't want me to eat, do you? I'll starve to death if I don't eat."
"Shut up."
Chito turned around and began to pack up their sleeping blankets and tarpaulin, ignoring Yuuri, who was being mischievous on the side.
Yang Tao looked at the two little ones and felt a sense of being healed. He smiled and took out some food from his backpack.
Yuuri, smelling the food, immediately looked over.
"Wow, is this yesterday's meat?"
With that, she looked at Yang Tao with watery eyes.
"Mm, eat…"
Yang Tao handed the steak in his hand to Yuuri, who didn't hesitate and devoured it like a whirlwind after taking it.
Although it was impolite, Yuuri truly made him feel like he had a little puppy.
"Chito, come and eat something. After you're full, I'll take you to the city above…"
He had already made up his mind.
After the two little ones had eaten and drunk their fill, he would take them directly to the upper level. If the exploration value could meet the standard, then it would naturally be a happy outcome for everyone. If it couldn't reach 100%, then it could only mean that the time was not right.
He didn't know how long these two little ones had lived in this world.
Chito sat quietly beside Yang Tao, taking the food he handed her.
"Thank you."
Unlike Yuuri's ravenous eating, Chito ate very gracefully, taking small bites of the steak.
