Infinite: From the Resident Evil

Inside those hibernation capsules, there actually lay the bodies of gigantic creatures. They were brown all over, looked terrifying, and had limbs that resembled plant roots.

"It looks so ugly." Shen Ye frowned. Those limbs that looked like plant roots reminded him of tentacles.

"It's really ugly, but they seem to be dead?" A2 bravely took a step forward. She didn't feel any signs of life, and they were obviously deader than dead.

2B also took a step forward and looked carefully for a while before asking in confusion, "So, who are they? Are they aliens?"

Chapter 296! Shaken

……

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 Jakol 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. 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 Human Council, 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, and 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 Yakor 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."

……

(Working overtime again... The office is so noisy, I can't concentrate...)

Chapter 297! The meaning of the existence of artificial humans

……

"Hey! 9S, what's wrong?" 6O asked in confusion.

"I just want to confirm one thing, 6O, please get through to the commander immediately," 9S said.

Although 6O was a little confused, he said, "Okay, wait a moment."

The next second, with a beep, the upper body of Commander White appeared on the 3D projection projected by the auxiliary machine.

"9S, what do you want to talk to me about?" In the projection, White looked around in confusion. She could see the surrounding situation through the perspective of the auxiliary machine, but the perspective provided by the auxiliary machine was limited. She only saw 2B and A2.

Then, she frowned. "You were with defector A2 and the missing 11B? Why didn't you report to the headquarters?"

"Commander, none of this matters right now," 9S said, looking at White.

"Yeah, it's not important now, so you contacted me because you discovered something? Did you find the aliens' command tower?" White asked again.

"Yes, we have found it." 9S nodded and continued, "And... we also saw aliens."

As he spoke, he controlled the auxiliary machine and turned the view to the alien corpses.

"Is this... the bodies of aliens?" White's face flashed with surprise when he saw the bodies, and then immediately turned into joy: "2B, 9S, did you kill those aliens?"

9S shook his head and said, "It wasn't us. Those aliens were killed by the mechanical life forms they created."

Hearing this, even the well-informed White was surprised. If her body was not in good condition, she would have suspected that her hearing was malfunctioning. She said in disbelief, "What did you say? Those mechanical life forms killed their creators?"

9S nodded, and then directed the pod's view to Adam and Eve, saying, "Remember the humanoid mechanical lifeforms I once reported to the headquarters? They are this."

At this point, 9S paused, and then continued: "We met them here, and they told us that humans no longer exist. Of course, I don't believe them, but to be honest, we have only heard human broadcasts over the years and have never actually seen humans. So, Commander, can we take a look at them?"

White did not answer immediately, as if she was thinking. After a while, she said, "I'm sorry, no, the humans are now staying in the moon base. Without their permission, no artificial human can see them."

After hearing this answer, not only 9S, but also 2B and 11B looked at Adam. At this point, they were beginning to believe what he said.

"I knew she would use all kinds of excuses to get away with it." Seeing the android looking at him, Adam laughed out loud: "So, please accept the fact that humans no longer exist."

"Shut up, humans still exist." White suddenly raised his voice, "2B, 9S, kill him."

But 9S did not obey her order, and collapsed to the ground as if he had lost the power of the power reactor.

2B did manage to hold the sword, but her condition was not much better than 9S. The White Contract, which was usually as light as a feather, now seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and she couldn't hold it at all. With a clang, the sword fell from her hand and onto the ground.

Adam saw all of this, and a smile of victory appeared on his lips: "Give up, you have lost the meaning of continuing to fight. You have even lost the meaning of existence."

As soon as these words came out, White in the stereoscopic projection couldn't help but tremble, because she knew that what Adam said was true.

The meaning of the existence of artificial humans is for human beings, but if human beings no longer exist, then there will be no meaning for artificial humans to exist at all.

This is also the reason why these artificial human leaders spared no effort to fabricate lies and conceal the fact that mankind has become extinct.

Seeing that the androids had lost their fighting spirit, Adam felt that he had already won. At this moment, he suddenly felt that there was no point, and even felt that the deployed army of mechanical life forms was a waste.

However, just when he was feeling proud of himself, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Losing the meaning of existence? That may not be the case."

Adam looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Ye slowly walk to 2B, pick up the knife on the ground and put it in 2B's hand.

Seeing this, Adam said disdainfully: "Why, do you still believe that humans still exist?"

"Of course." Shen Ye nodded. He was now planning to reveal his identity.

Although when he stood up just now, Yakor reminded him that it was not the right time yet, and she was worried that there should be someone helping Adam behind the scenes, but when he saw 2B's helpless look, he felt a little bit reluctant.

However, just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden earth-shaking vibration above the passage, and a large amount of rubble fell.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Adam said, "This is the gift I prepared for you. There are fifteen Engels in total, and tens of thousands of mechanical lives. It was originally intended to deal with you, but it seems that it is no longer useful now."

The current condition of the androids no longer poses a threat to him.

When he heard that there were fifteen Engels above, Shen Ye calmed down instantly, his brain working at high speed. He thought that if he exposed his identity now, it would be difficult to escape. It would be better to leave here first while the other party had relaxed their vigilance.

However, just as he was about to ask the androids to leave with him, he heard Adam say, "Forget it. Since they are all here, we can't let them come here in vain. So, we might as well kill you all here."

As he finished speaking, the electronic door at the entrance of the passage suddenly opened, and a large number of mechanical life forms poured in like a tide.

……

(The next few chapters will reveal the identity, followed by a small climax and a big scene. Also, these chapters are too brief, almost glossed over. I originally planned to start with at least five chapters, but in the end it was condensed into two chapters...)

Chapter 298! Fight Out

……

Looking at the influx of mechanical life, Shen Ye instantly summoned the EX-S Viper Cannon and Interceptor Factory, and issued an order to stop the mechanical life. Unfortunately, the space here is still too small, and air combat robots and airdrop support cannot be used. The Viper Cannon and Interceptor Factory alone cannot hold out for long.

Eve, who was watching the battle, shook her head and said disdainfully, "Resistance in vain is meaningless."

"It can't be said to be meaningless. At least, it can please us." Adam didn't know when a glass of red wine appeared in his hand, as if he was enjoying a lively stage play.

Sure enough, not long after, facing the influx of mechanical life, the Viper Cannon was the first to be submerged. Almost in an instant, it was turned into a pile of scrap metal by the violent mechanical life.
