Dragon Ball: I, Yamcha, am the strongest in the universe

Chapter 456 Other Homunculi
A huge explosion suddenly occurred in a secret research institute located in a valley on the edge of a city in the south of the earth. The thick black smoke filled the nearby sky with a layer of haze.

Three men with very strange looks walked out of the explosion.

A short man with purple skin, wearing a huge Mexican hat and a pair of sunglasses.

He has a single ponytail, a strong body, a serious demeanor, and a half-Indian look.

and a tall man with silver hair wearing a baseball beret.

"According to the latest information from the Doctor's Base"

"Numbers 17 and 18 betrayed him."

The tall man seemed to be the leader of the three. He stood in the center between the other two and said, "No. 14, No. 15, what do you think? Should we defeat Sun Wukong first? Or should we kill those two traitors first?"

“The best meal is saved for last.”

The short guy, or No. 15 as the tall guy called it, suggested, "Let's go to No. 17 and No. 18 first. According to the information I have, No. 16, who was created later than us, is also with them. I really want to know what the latest model created by the doctor is capable of."

"No objection." The strong man No. 14 said expressionlessly.

Before his death, Dr. Gallo (No. 20) awakened Androids 13, 14, and 15 and activated them.

A van was driving towards the Western Capital at a moderate speed, with two men and one woman in it. The handsome black-haired man No. 17 was driving the van, while the beautiful blonde No. 18 was leaning against the window, staring at the scene outside in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. Finally, the burly man with a Mohawk hairstyle was lying on the back seat with his eyes closed.

The three of them said nothing and looked somewhat lifeless.

No. 17 couldn't help but speak up, breaking the silence: "I originally thought that I was made by Dr. Gallo as the world's number one, but I didn't expect that the old guy made a mistake in his calculations and failed again."

"But this kind of thing happens all the time. This old guy has never been reliable."

There is a unique sense of ease and calmness in No. 17's tone, as if he has already let go of failure.

“Since I can’t achieve my goal, I might as well enjoy the hard-earned free life.”

He made the suggestion, but neither of his two companions responded, which made him feel a little embarrassed, so he added another sentence.

"What do you think?"

As he said this, he glanced at his twin sister, hoping to get a reply, but No. 18 was still looking out the window.

Finally, No. 16 answered him, saying in a muffled voice, "I don't care."

No. 17 was somewhat happy to see that someone finally responded to him. He then remembered something and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the purpose of your creation was to kill Sun Wukong? If you can't do that, is there any problem with the program?"

He knew that No. 16 was different from him and No. 18. He was not modified from a human model, but came from nothing.
The so-called coming from nothing means that he is a pure mechanical body.

"My goal is to kill Sun Wukong, but I also have my own will."

No. 16 shook his head and answered No. 17's question: "I can decide what I want to do and what I should do. But I prefer the way it is now. I love life and I like nature."

As a mechanical life with its own will and without any restrictions, it has to be said that No. 16 is indeed Dr. Gallo's favorite, although a super bomb has also been installed deep inside his body.

"An artificial person who loves life and nature?"

No. 17 turned around and looked at her twin sister in surprise: "What a strange girl, isn't it, No. 18?"

However, the other party still looked as if he hadn't heard it.

At this moment, No. 18's mind kept replaying what happened that day.
Especially the parting kiss.
Seeing that No.18 was indifferent and had no reaction, No.17 couldn't help but hold the steering wheel with one hand and push her with the other hand.

"number 18?"

Only then did No. 18 shudder as if she had just woken up from a dream. However, although she reacted, her mind still hadn't fully recovered, so she reflexively said what she was thinking.

"Do you think he likes me?"

"Ok?"

Because No. 17 was driving and No. 18 was speaking very quickly, No. 1 was unable to hear clearly for a while.

"What did you say?"

"what?"

No. 18 finally reacted, and a trace of surprise flashed across his delicate face.

"I mean where we're going."

"West Capital? Didn't I say that before?" No. 17 looked at No. 18 in confusion: "You've been acting weird since we got on the road. You look absent-minded and you don't respond when I call you. Could it be that..."

"What? What happened to me?"

An imperceptible blush appeared on No. 18's iceberg-white face. She tried her best to hide her unnaturalness, but the more she tried to hide, the weirder it seemed.

"Is he sick?"

No. 17 said to himself, "I guess I need to speed up a bit. I wonder if doctors in big cities can treat artificial humans' diseases."

number 18:
Even No. 16, who was sitting behind them, couldn't help but silently look up at No. 17 after hearing the conversation between the two.

Did Dr. Gallo modify something when he was transforming him?

No. 17 also sensed something and immediately turned around and asked, "What's wrong, big guy?"

You are sensitive again at this time.

Just when No. 16 was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, his head immediately turned to the side, and his face became serious.

"There are three extremely high energy reaction units flying towards us at a rapid speed. They will catch up with us in about a minute."

"Could it be Vegeta and the others?"

No. 17's tone remained relaxed, as if he didn't take it seriously. After all, even though they lost, they were still the best among humans.

"No, not their energy response."

After all, No. 16 is a pure mechanical body, and the detectors in his body are more sophisticated than those of No. 17 and No. 18, so he can clearly see the strength of the person who comes.

The mechanical brain worked at high speed and responded quickly, and also found information about the other party's energy reaction.

"Artificial humans! It's other artificial humans!!"

After hearing what No. 16 said, No. 17 slammed on the brakes and turned around in shock. Even No. 18 couldn't help but ask a question.

"Are there any other artificial humans besides us?"

No. 16 nodded and pushed open the door of the van. "Yes, and he was transformed in the same batch as me. He was also born from nothing."

No. 17 and No. 18 looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

A pure robot from the same batch as No. 16
The existence of several finished products indicates that Dr. Gallo has mastered the technology of mechanical modification.
Why did they transform No. 18 and I into humans?
Moreover, it transformed itself into the oldest and obsolete absorption type.
