…
A civil war among mechanical life forms was a rare occurrence for androids. Even A2 had never seen such a scene.
The androids stared at them in amazement for a moment, and 9S suddenly realized that this was an opportunity, and immediately said, "While they are fighting among themselves, let's kill them all in one go."
The androids were all excited after hearing this. Not only 2B, but A2 and 11B also took out their weapons. Although they both defected from the bunker, the idea that machine life is the mortal enemy of the androids, just like the supremacy of humans, has been deeply embedded in their underlying logic.
Seeing them ready to fight, Shen Ye shook his head, thinking that combat androids were still not as smart as humans. He then reached out to stop them and said, "If you intervene now, you will probably be besieged by them or get caught in a melee. It is better to wait until they decide the winner before taking action. That way, you can get the highest benefit at the lowest cost. There is an idiom among humans that goes, 'When cranes and clams fight, the fisherman gains.'"
The artificial people naturally didn't know what idioms were, nor could they understand the idioms, but they could understand the meaning of what Shen Ye had said before, and they thought it made sense, so they retreated.
Even 11B looked at him with admiration: "Shen, you know a lot." This made Shen Ye embarrassed.
While they were talking, the battle between the special mechanical life form that called itself Beauvoir and the brothers Adam and Eve had reached a fever pitch. All kinds of combat skills were used without any cost, and the entire opera house was in ruins.
Although Adam and Eve were also special mechanical life forms, they had been awake for too short a time and did not have a deep understanding of how to fight. Although it was two against one, they were actually at a disadvantage. Under Beauvoir's fierce attack, they could only barely parry and had no chance to fight back.
As the battle became more intense, the two brothers had begun to consider retreating, but Beauvoir's attacks were continuous, and they didn't even have time to teleport, so they could only defend themselves to the best of their ability.
To be honest, their real strength is not weak at all. In addition to being able to rely on the mechanical life network for teleportation, their actual combat capabilities are not much different from those of the YoRHa androids.
But precisely because of this, they could not do anything to Beauvoir, because in the game, even the YoRHa android was no match for Beauvoir.
In the interval between the battles, Beauvoir finally became impatient and let out a shrill scream.
In an instant, countless crosses fell from the sky and instantly covered the entire floor of the opera house.
On top of those crosses were androids tied with steel wire ropes. There were all kinds of androids, even YoRHa models. And those androids seemed to have been tortured before their death. Their outer bionic skin had been completely pulled off, and their inner bones were covered with scars.
This scene made 2B and 9S grit their teeth and clench their fists.
Before Shen Ye could speak to stop them, 2B and 9S angrily attacked Beauvoir. Holding long swords, they slashed at her under the cover of the auxiliary machine.
However, their participation in the battle did not bring an overwhelming outcome. Instead, it gave the brothers Adam and Eve a sigh of relief. While Beauvoir's attention was on 2B and 9S, they quickly left the battlefield.
"Android, I will thank you for your help." Adam waved his hand and scattered a ball of fire, destroying the robot corpses that were emitting interference signals around them. Then he took Eve's hand, and the two of them turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the opera house.
"They should learn how to control their emotions." Shen Ye said helplessly as he watched the humanoid mechanical brothers disappear.
But he knew that now was not the time to complain, and while he was speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at the special mechanical life form Beauvoir, a temporary auxiliary machine for firepower, and it transformed into a G-3 Predator form and quickly surrounded it.
Behind him, A2 and 11B also took action. Holding long knives, they attacked Beauvoir.
In the righteous multi-on-one situation, the already injured Beauvoir could only hold out for a few minutes before 2B stabbed her core power reactor with a knife.
After the core power reactor that was like her heart was pierced, Beauvoir completely lost the ability to resist. After uttering a mournful cry, her body exploded and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
At this moment, her voice was still echoing in the opera house: "After all... I still had a beautiful curtain call."
…
After getting rid of Beauvoir, 2B and 9S slowly calmed down. Looking at Shen Ye with a helpless look on his face, they realized what a wrong choice they had just made.
"I'm sorry." Somehow, 2B felt guilty and apologized immediately.
9S on the side also quickly reflected on his impulsiveness, but was ignored by Shen Ye.
"Forget it, the fact has already happened, there is no point in saying anything more."
Shen Ye glanced at Beauvoir's body, then turned and walked out of the opera house. A2, 11B, and Accord followed him silently.
"Shen..." 2B thought he was angry and hurriedly followed him.
But in fact Shen Ye was not angry. He always had a good temper. Now he just felt a little bit sorry.
However, he also knew that even if Adam and Eve were defeated by Beauvoir, they would not be able to kill the brothers now because they could use the mechanical life network to resurrect themselves.
But 2B didn't know and kept surrounding him to explain her previous behavior. Shen Ye still didn't say anything, but her actions made A2 and the others a little nervous.
They came out of the opera house. The outside world was already covered by sunlight. Unknowingly, they had spent the whole night in the ruins of the amusement park.
Shen Ye stopped moving after coming out of the opera house. A mechanical life form holding a white flag appeared in his sight.
The mechanical lifeform was suspended in mid-air, its eyes were a rare green color. When it saw Shen Ye and the others coming out, it immediately flew forward for a distance, which made A2 and 11B alert.
"Shen, be careful..." Seeing the mechanical body, 2B, who had just come out, rushed forward, stood in front of Shen Ye with a knife, and stared at the mechanical life form.
"Don't worry, I'm not the enemy."
Seeing the actions of the YoRHa androids, the mechanical lifeform immediately spoke up, waving the white flag it was carrying to indicate that it had no ill intentions.
But how could the androids believe it when they had just fought with mechanical life and still retained hostility towards it?
However, they were also somewhat curious that the mechanical life in front of them could speak so fluently.
"2B...please take the weapon. It really has no ill intentions." Shen Ye said as he walked around her.
2B was still a little worried, so she glanced at A2. A2 nodded knowingly, and walked in front of Shen Ye with 2B. She also said, "Anyway, it's better to be careful. Let's go ahead."
"I'm not that fragile." Although Shen Ye said this, he still slowed down his pace and followed them.
Anyway, there was no danger and he didn't have to worry about anything happening.
The group quickly walked up to the gentle mechanical lifeform. The YoRHa robots were on guard while sizing up the mechanical lifeform.
"Thank you for helping me eliminate the broken mechanical life. To express my gratitude, I would like to invite you to our village." This gentle mechanical life form did not care about the looks of the artificial people. It first expressed its gratitude and then extended an invitation to everyone.
"Village? Are all the people in your village like you?" 2B also noticed the green eyes of the mechanical life in front of her, which was completely different from those with red eyes. She immediately had an idea that perhaps the mechanical life with blue eyes could communicate, or was non-threatening.
"Yes, our village is full of peace-loving mechanical life forms." said the gentle mechanical life form.
"In that case, let's go and take a look." Shen Ye said with great interest. He was particularly interested in the peaceful village of Pascal Village.
"Well, since you want to go, let's go together, although it still feels a little suspicious."
A2 still didn't quite trust this strange mechanical life. Although she didn't feel any hostility from it, she was still a little worried. But when she heard that Shen Ye was going, she didn't object, but suggested that everyone go together.
None of the other androids objected, except Accord, who, like Shen Ye, were very curious about the peaceful mechanical life village.
"Then please follow me." Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, the gentle mechanical life form nodded, turned around and flew away.
It was not moving very fast, and everyone could follow it easily. When leaving the ruins of the amusement park, everyone noticed that several rockets with dazzling tails suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
"What is that?" 2B stopped and looked up.
"It should be the resistance army transporting resources to the bunkers and humans on the moon. After all, it is too difficult to collect resources in space." Shen Ye saw that the resistance army collected a large amount of fuel, steel, food, water and other resources a few days ago. Combined with the plot in the game, he immediately explained.
9S, who was about to explain, closed his mouth. Shen Ye had already said what he wanted to say, and he walked away somewhat disappointed.
No one present noticed his departure. 2B even sighed, "The resistance forces have to fight against machine life while also providing resources for the bunkers and humans. They are really hard-working."
"Who says it's not true? They have given so much." A2 interjected.
"After destroying those mechanical life forms, I hope humans can give them honor and rewards, even if it's just verbal."
For artificial humans, material rewards are far less important than a verbal compliment from humans. The meaning of their existence is to fight for the revival of mankind.
Hearing A2's words, Shen Ye nodded silently: "I definitely will."
…
When the group followed the gentle mechanical life across the suspension bridge not far from the ruins of the amusement park, a village appeared before them.
It was a village where most of the buildings were built on trees. The protruding wooden platforms were filled with mechanical life forms. They held white flags and waved them constantly, expressing that they had no ill intentions and welcoming everyone's arrival.
"It seems that they do not have any bad intentions." 2B took a quick look and found that all the mechanical life forms in the village had green eyes.
"It's just that we should be careful." 9S reminded her: "After all, they are mechanical life forms. Don't trust them easily."
2B nodded without comment, then he looked at Shen Ye and found that he had walked in front of a mechanical life.
Although she did not feel the hostility from those mechanical life forms, she hurriedly followed 9S after thinking of his words. However, she was still a step too slow. A2 and 11B were already standing on Shen Ye's left and right. She could only stand behind them like Accord.
Shen Ye did not notice what was happening behind him, his attention was all on the mechanical life in front of him.
At this time, the mechanical lifeform put down the white flag in its hand, bent down in a somewhat comical manner and said, "Hello, I am the village chief of this village, Pascal, welcome."
Then it continued: "In this village, everyone is a pacifist who avoids fighting. Please rest assured that we have no hostility. If possible, you can confirm it yourself. You can set foot in any part of our village and feel our enthusiasm and friendliness."
"I have already felt your enthusiasm and friendliness." Shen Ye glanced at the mechanical life forms around him that were still waving flags, then smiled and extended his hand to Pascal.
"My name is Shen Ye, nice to meet you."
Pascal had dealt with androids before, so he understood what was going on. After letting out a somewhat unpleasant laugh, he reached out and shook hands with Shen Ye: "Nice to meet you, too."
"Hey, Shen, do you believe them so easily? They are mechanical life forms and our enemies."
Seeing Shen Ye shaking hands with the mechanical life, the androids became a little nervous, angry that an unpredictable emergency might happen in the next second, and 9S even screamed.
"Shut up, you talk too much." Accord turned around and glared at him. Although he knew that he was one of the protagonists of this story, he still felt dissatisfied with him.
"But..."
9S was about to say something when he heard Pascal say, "I can understand his nervousness. After all, the battle between us has lasted for many years. But I still want to say that we are really peace-loving, and... we also communicate with the androids."
