And just after she finished speaking, a gentle voice came from behind her:
"Yes, you read it right. They are our creators... the aliens you are talking about."
Hearing the voice behind them, everyone turned around and saw that the people coming were their acquaintances, Adam and Eve.
At this time, the two humanoid mechanical life forms were not topless like in the game, but were wearing pure white suits. Seeing them turn around, Adam gracefully made a gentleman's salute and said at the same time: "Everyone, good afternoon, welcome to the cemetery of our creator. I'm sorry, because our creator has all been extinct, only my brother and I can receive you. I hope you don't mind."
Unfortunately, the robots didn't care about this. They were more concerned about what Adam said at the beginning.
"Are all the aliens... extinct?" 2B asked in a lost voice, looking at Adam who looked like a normal human.
"When did it happen? Who exterminated them?"
"Just a few hundred years ago, they were exterminated by us mechanical life forms." Adam said with a smile.
"You actually exterminated your own creator?" 9S on the side looked incredulous.
"They created you!"
"So what?" Adam said nonchalantly, "They are just a group of simple and boring creatures with the same structure as plants. It's disgusting to think that such creatures can become our creators. We mechanical life forms can continue to evolve. After gaining intelligence, we can learn a lot of knowledge in a short period of time in the network machine and soon surpass these so-called creators. Therefore, it is only natural to exterminate them. Their death is not worth it. They have no value at all."
At this point, Adam paused, and then continued: "Relatively speaking, I am more interested in humans. They are full of charm, so I have been learning the knowledge they left behind. I want to understand them, become like them, or even... replace them."
"You're dreaming." After hearing what Adam said, 2B said coldly, "With us androids, you can't replace humans. Besides, humans are still on the moon, so you can't replace them either."
"That's not necessarily true!" Adam raised a finger and shook it, smiling and saying, "Although I admit that you androids are difficult to deal with, after all, you have been fighting for so many years, and your strength and patience are obvious to all, but can you really persist?"
"Of course." 2B said firmly, "As long as the people on the moon want to return to the ground, we will keep fighting."
"That's right." 9S nodded. "May the glory of humanity last forever."
"May the glory of mankind last forever? It does sound amazing and exciting. No wonder you have persisted for so long." Adam nodded in realization, then changed his tone and said contemptuously, "But can their glory really last forever? Look, even our creator is dead, what about your creator?"
"Artificial humans will not betray humans." 2B said coldly. She thought Adam was judging others by his own standards.
Adam shook his head. "No, no, no, I don't doubt your loyalty. I just want to ask, are you sure that humans still exist?"
"Of course it exists." 11B, who was standing next to Shen Ye, suddenly spoke. Even though she had left the bunker, she still chose to stand on the side of humans at this time.
"Some time ago, we received a broadcast from humans on the moon." 11B continued: "Humans are paying attention to us all the time."
"So? You just listened to the broadcast and never really saw them, right?" Adam glanced at the androids present and continued, "I'm afraid you all have never really seen a human being, right?"
His words instantly silenced 2B and 9S. Yes, they had fought for humans for so many years and heard countless broadcasts from humans, but they had never actually seen a human, not even once.
And they had never doubted the existence of human beings before, but after hearing what Adam said this time, they were actually a little shaken.
While the YoRHa team's androids were silent, Shen Ye and Accord were analyzing the meaning of Adam's words. They vaguely guessed a possibility, that is, Adam got the information that mankind had been extinct from somewhere, otherwise he would not have said that.
But how did he know?
Shen Ye was very confused, because that was a secret known only to a few high-ranking android leaders. In order for the androids to have a meaning of existence and to be able to persist forever, those high-ranking android leaders would never tell such important information to others, let alone their enemies, the mechanical life forms.
While the two of them were thinking, Adam laughed again. He looked at the silent YoRHa androids and said, "I know that the Moon People have a Council of Humanity, and I also know that the top androids can also participate in human meetings. You... can definitely ask your superiors. By the way, your superior seems to be called White, right? You can contact her via video and ask her questions. Of course, if you don't want to do that, you can let me do it."
When Adam said this, his face looked sincere, as if he was doing a great good thing.
For a moment, 2B and 9S showed signs of struggle, and 11B, who had just spoken, once again recalled the suspicion she had when she escaped from the bunker.
Among the four YoRHa androids, only A2 didn't care about what Adam said. She didn't care whether humans still existed or not. She even thought it would be better if humans died so that the androids wouldn't have to sacrifice themselves for that illusory mission.
"How is it? Have you thought it through? If you don't want to do it, you can let me do it. As a gentleman, I'm happy to help." Looking at 2B who had been silent for a long time, Adam spoke again, and his tone was a little tempting, "You just need to contact your commander and let me talk to her."
After listening to Adam's words, 2B was fine. Although she was still struggling, she could still hold it in. But 9S didn't know what happened. He seemed to have forgotten what he had told 2B before that mechanical life forms could not be trusted. He actually ordered his auxiliary machine to start remote communication.
"9S, what are you doing? Stop it." Seeing 9S turn on the remote communication, 2B shouted to stop him.
Shen Ye and Accord also hurried forward and tried to stop him, but he jumped away from them.
"I just want to know the truth." 9S said as he looked at them.
Just as he finished speaking, 6O's voice came from the auxiliary machine: "Hello, 9S, this is communications officer 6O. Contacting me now, is there any important discovery?"
9S glanced at Adam and said, "6O, I need to video chat with the Commander."
