A2 and the others were very surprised to hear Pascal say that they also communicated with the androids. Although 2B put aside most of her hostility after Shen Ye shook hands with her, she still asked with some doubt: "Who have you communicated with?"
"It should be the resistance. There is only one android camp nearby." Shen Ye said directly. He remembered this plot very clearly.
"Yes, but I mainly communicated with Miss Anemone. She is a very easy-to-talk-to artificial being." Pascal nodded: "She provided us with a lot of help and is a friend of our village."
"I didn't expect you to know Anemone." A2 was a little unbelievable, then narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous look on his face: "As a good friend, she never told me, it's too much."
Shen Ye patted her shoulder and consoled her, saying, "I guess she's afraid you'll misunderstand. After all, who would believe that an artificial human and a mechanical life form have become friends?"
A2 thought about it and nodded, "That's true. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have believed it. I might even have suspected that Anemone had betrayed the android."
Of course, she also knew that even if Anemone betrayed the androids, it would be impossible for her to mix with mechanical life, so she said it was possible and doubtful.
Listening to their conversation, 2B gradually understood some of the reasons for the incident, but she still asked doubtfully: "Even if you are friends with Anemone, you didn't specifically tell us this when you invited us here, did you?"
"Of course not. I invited you here mainly to thank you and to give you a gift."
When he said this, Pascal waved to the mechanical life forms next to him, and then those mechanical life forms came over with a few baskets of fruit.
"The Beauvoir in the amusement park ruins often harassed us and captured many of our companions. Since the village is full of peace-loving mechanical life forms, there are not many with combat power and we cannot defeat it. I originally planned to ask Miss Anemone for help, but she said she had no way... Come to think of it, even if she agreed, I guess other androids would not be willing to help. But in the morning, Anemone contacted me and said that she would send someone to investigate, so I sent it to the amusement park ruins."
Pascal pointed at the mechanical life that led the way and continued, "I didn't expect that you guys really got rid of the broken mechanical life. To thank you, I specially prepared some fruits picked from the forest for you. I heard that your camp has been collecting food. These fruits are edible, so please don't hesitate to accept them."
After saying that, it asked the mechanical villagers to place the baskets of fruit in front of Shen Ye and his companions.
"Then we won't be polite." Shen Ye nodded with a smile.
Of course he wouldn't be polite. After helping others solve such a big problem, it was normal to receive some gifts, let alone just some fruits.
Seeing Shen Ye accept the gift, Pascal was very happy. After making a few ugly electronic laughs, he said, "By the way, if you are interested, you can take a walk around the village. We are very hospitable."
Shen Ye originally wanted to agree. He was very interested in Pascal Village and wanted to observe the living habits of these mechanical life forms up close, but he felt that now was not the right time, so he shook his head and refused.
"Sorry, we still have to go back and report what happened in the amusement park ruins, so we don't have time for now," he said.
"What a pity." Pascal spread his hands in a humane way: "It seems that I can only wait until you are free, but please rest assured that we welcome you to come at any time."
"Thank you then." Shen Ye said.
Then a few people picked up the baskets of fruit and were about to leave, but just as they turned around, Pascal seemed to remember something and called them again.
"Wait a minute, please bring this oil filter to Anemone."
To be honest, it had originally intended to use this to prove its relationship with Anemone, but it didn't expect Shen Ye to believe it directly, causing it to forget about it for a moment, and only now did it remember this thing.
"Okay." Shen Ye nodded, but he was holding a basket of fruits and had no extra hands to take it. In the end, Accord reluctantly took the greasy part.
…
After saying goodbye to Pascal, the group began to return to the rebel camp.
On the way, 9S was carrying a basket of fruit as tall as himself. He did not participate in the conversation, but was thinking absentmindedly. Finally, he could not help it and suddenly said, "I think it is necessary to report this matter to the bunker and ask the commander to send some more androids to investigate and monitor the mechanical life village."
The people whose conversation was interrupted looked at him, not understanding why he suddenly brought up this. 11B even frowned and said unhappily, "I don't think that's necessary, 9S. They have already declared themselves to be pacifists."
"The words of machine lifeforms cannot be trusted. Don't be fooled by appearances." 9S said in a serious tone.
"So what you're saying is that Anemone has also been deceived?" A2 looked at 9S with a bad face, and the little bit of goodwill that he had accumulated towards him in the past few days disappeared in an instant.
"It's possible." 9S was holding a wooden basket that was taller than him. He couldn't see A2's expression at all. He said to himself, "Maybe there's something wrong with the parts in her body. Anyway, I don't think it's normal. Maybe she needs a comprehensive checkup."
"Okay, but before Anemone is examined, I will definitely tear you apart and let you undergo my examination first." A2 would never allow anyone to slander her good friend, especially when the person who spoke up was her former enemy.
9S's expression froze when he heard A2's threat. He turned his head to look at 2B. Just as he was about to ask for her opinion, he heard 2B say, "9S, I think we should not inform the bunker about this. Otherwise, it will bring danger to the village."
"2B, how come even you..." 9S looked at 2B in disbelief. After a long while, he said dejectedly, "Okay, I won't inform the bunker about this."
After that, there was a long silence.
At this time, everyone was approaching the city where the rebel camp was located. At this moment, 2B's auxiliary machine beeped, and then a crying voice came.
"Communications officer 6O to team member 2B, the fixed-point communication time has come... woooo... wow..."
2B felt a little embarrassed when she heard the crying coming from the communicator. She carefully looked around and saw everyone's eyes were full of curiosity. She had no choice but to ask, "6O, what's wrong with you?"
6O said succinctly: "I don't want to live anymore..."
