Stellaris from the Automata Era

Perhaps it was because Yan Luo's gaze was too direct, the twins followed his line of sight, and then the one with straighter hair let out a cry of surprise.

"Divara! I didn't realize there was a repair station here! It's a bit primitive, but it's more than enough to repair minor parts!"

"Yes, Bobo La." The woman with curly hair also smiled, and then looked at Yan Luo as if she had thought of something. "Master Creator, can we really use it?"

"Of course, it's my way of repaying you."

Yan Luo nodded again and walked to the electronic gate first.

"If I'm not mistaken, my weapons and backup energy should be behind this door. We just need to open it..."

He knocked on the door, but there was no response.

He tried pulling, but the heavy door didn't budge.

He tried knocking again and the door seemed somewhat sturdy.

He looked up to see the reason and found that there was no electricity and the door could not be opened.

Logically speaking... with all the advancements in technology, can't we design something that can be both manual and automatic? If this person were trapped inside, wouldn't it just become a larger coffin?

Very good...it seems I have found a solution for myself.

Ignoring these terrible situations, Yan Luo wanted to cover his face to express his embarrassment.

"We may have to look for some alternative energy sources. If we don't find a temporary way to start, we may be trapped in an endless cycle."

An impromptu proposal seemed to complicate the situation further. Bobo La, with her straighter hair, suddenly denied it as if her logic unit had been triggered.

"No, Master Creator! It's a desert ruin outside, and there are many mechanical life forms around. It's not safe at all."

"Yes, Lord Creator! Actually, there's nothing serious wrong with me. I don't need any repair at all." Similarly, Divala, with slightly curly hair, nodded in agreement, as if there was some kind of monster outside.

"Even though you say that, given the situation outside here, I don't have the survival supplies, food, water, and equipment I need. Sooner or later, I will go out to find them. Of course, if there is a series of equipment behind this door, just ignore me. But even if there is, my most pressing problem is that I can't open this door."

Yan Luo continued to organize his words.

"Anyway, I still have to go out eventually."

The twins were stunned for a moment, yes.

As models that take care of humans, they know that humans are not machines like them. Their living environment is very changeable and complex. Food, water, temperature, air, and even mobile phones, any imbalance can cause the fragile creator to disappear.

Unlike them, they can survive as long as they have energy without any accidents.

"These...we can help you find them. If that doesn't work, my lord, if you need what's behind the door, I..." Bobo La spread her right hand and pressed it against her chest, as if trying to grasp something deep within her heart. "My reaction smelting can also provide energy. Just plug it in..."

"enough!"

After being rudely interrupted, Yan Luo looked directly at the man-made...

Yan Luo looked straight at the person in front of him.

"Are all the figures out there like you?"

"what?"

"Nothing..." Yan Luo took a deep breath. "Don't use honorifics like 'Creator' in the future. It makes me feel like I'm some high and mighty god."

"But sir, you are indeed..."

"That's enough." Yan Luo repeated, "This is an order. Also, didn't you notice that your sister cared about you when you said that before?"

Blinking like a human being, and then realizing something, Bobo La turned her head to meet the familiar face.

Communicate silently.

"Anyway, I still have to go out and look for alternative energy sources. No one can stop me. If you are worried, you can come with me to protect me."

"And this trip out isn't necessarily dangerous. You said there's desert and ruins outside, right? I have a feeling the resources we need are nearby."

It was emphasized that Divara and Bopora always felt that the human in front of them seemed to be hinting at something crazy.

However, these seemed to have nothing to do with them. After saying this, Yan Luo turned around and went to the wardrobe around the hibernation cabin.

Let me make it clear that he is not naked now. After he came out, he was surprised to find that there was a matching wardrobe nearby. If he remembered correctly, he did see clothes suitable for desert travel in it.

The sisters who stayed where they were naturally held each other's hands.

Speak in a voice that is neither too loud nor too soft.

"Human sir, very gentle."

"Yeah! Very gentle."

until.

"It's too loud, I can hear it." Yan Luo suddenly walked back to them with an expressionless face, wearing a desert cloak.

This is not human tenderness.

It's human arrogance.

"I've decided. If everything out there is like this, I'll take them all."

Chapter 4: Why haven't the humanoids won yet?

"It's quite hot, to be honest."

Yan Luo tightened his cloak and felt the scorching air outside.

The temperature outside was obviously different from the environment he had been in before. Perhaps the place he could now call a base had an internal regulator, or it was simply deep underground to keep the temperature constant.

Right from the start, the high temperature environment made Yan Luo feel obviously uncomfortable. After all, human nature is still obsessed with a certain climate.

"I kind of regret it." Yan Luo turned around, looking at the place where he came out, and sighed. "But now it seems that our underground facilities are well hidden."

"Indeed." Diwala limped along, supported by Popola, while maintaining her remaining energy to chat with Yan Luo. "My and Popola's original purpose was simply to find a secluded place to avoid the rain. We were shocked when we first entered. Not only were there comprehensive defenses, but there were also electromagnetic interference systems. If they hadn't suddenly stopped working, we wouldn't have dared go any deeper."

"Thank you so much for taking the risk and going deeper. Otherwise, I would have been trapped to death in there."

Yan Luo had no experience in chatting with the opposite sex. Although the other party was not human, after the conversation not long ago, his delicate and gentle thoughts made him regard the two humanoids as intellectual creatures of equal status.

Not to mention that they treat you as the center of the world, and every word you say will be misinterpreted and embellished. Maybe scolding and beating will be regarded as special care. This is really a bit hard to bear.

He had a lot of experience with women before, but that was in the context of humans not knowing whether they had a future. The young ladies in the flying unit were more bold than him. They would come up to him and ask, "Would you like a date with Storm One?" and then enter a part that was not free to watch.

He had never seen anything like this before.

"This is what we should do. We should be more grateful to you. Only..."

This is Bobo La. Her voice was a little soft and Yan Luo couldn’t hear what she was saying at all.

It shouldn't be a bad thing anyway.

After finishing his casual chat, he looked into the distance. As far as he could see, the outline of a city stood there, and the familiar concrete structures were faintly visible, all collapsed to the ground, nothing intact.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed there.

"That's what you call the ruins, right?"

"Yes, over there is the remains of a city, now a paradise for mechanical life."

Divara looked in the direction of Yan Luo's finger and answered.

"Let's go to the edge and take a look."

Yan Luo did not plan to go deeper directly, but chose a very cautious option.

Because in the twin sisters' previous narration, the hostile mechanical life still made him feel wary, because most of the time, their topics were always about trying to "take back" and other pessimistic keywords.

It was natural to assume that the humanoids created by his compatriots were at a disadvantage, so the hostile threat could be imagined.

Moreover, he didn't have any suitable weapons on him. Even if he was given the most basic swordsman equipment, he wouldn't be so cowardly!

What's more, the twins beside him introduced themselves as the type who take care of humans. Apart from one of them holding a knife, there was no long-range weapon on them. Obviously, they were not the type who could fight.

For a moment he felt like his phobia was coming back.

"Let's go."

then.

Yan Luo seized the gap in his cloak and moved forward silently with the twins.

After about half an hour, after climbing over a sand dune, their journey was forced to stop temporarily.

"Please be careful, my lord."

As if she had a keen sense, Bobo La gave up supporting her sister, drew out the weapon that looked like a knife or a sword, and blocked Yan Luo's way with one hand to protect him behind her.

Although Divara was a little slow in her movements, she also entered a alert posture, but she was facing behind them.

"There are enemies? Where are they?"

In an instant, Yan Luo also became alert. Although he did not find anything abnormal in his vision, he believed in the judgment of the twins' series of actions.

Bobola and Diwara pursed their lips and did not answer, but the facts soon gave Yan Luo the answer.

Amid the hissing sound of sand, Yan Luo focused his eyes and saw round heads emerging from the ground like plants.

They have a rough appearance and look like human-like designs, but the proportions are a bit funny. Except for one that is larger, the others are only half the height of Yan Luo, giving him a very clumsy feeling. If it weren't for the red part of their eyes, he almost thought they were cute machines in the wild.

"%￥! %￥!" They spoke in an incomprehensible language, repeating it over and over again, and then moved by jumping.

"Twelve, and one large one. Divara, you protect the master."

Bobo La gripped her weapon tightly, and before Yan Luo could react, she ran and jumped, made a perfect spin in the air, and used the momentum of the sword in her hand to cut off a round head, and then landed on the ground.

"Android*(￥＃" Shouting something incomprehensible, Popola activated her Wushuang.

Swing the sword, swing the sword, swing the sword. All at once, the three mechanical bodies were cut apart. They were clumsy and seemed no match for Bobola, but they were not without the ability to resist.

Among them, the specialized round heads spit out black balls of light, slowly but densely. Yan Luo had no doubt about the threat they posed, as could be seen from the fact that Boppola tried her best to avoid them.

Of course, sometimes when it is impossible to dodge, Popola will just use a sword to disperse it.

The sudden encounter ended in just a few minutes. Although there were a few round-headed monsters that accidentally rushed to Yan Luo's side, even though they were injured, Divara showed him her fighting ability.

Even though he was lame and distracted while protecting others, he still showed you how strong he was and completed the harvest with ease.

Wow...are these two really the type to take care of people?

Logically speaking, if not all combat-specific models are so powerful, how come those humanoids have not yet recaptured the Earth?

While thinking about a lot of things, Bobo La had already pulled out her sword from the largest and most difficult round head. After looking around, she quickly came to Yan Luo.

"I'm sorry, sir, I almost put you in danger."

"No, I didn't expect you guys to be so good at fighting. Besides, Divara protected me very well."

"Ah!?" Divala blinked, then said hurriedly, "This is what I should do."

Yan Luo didn't care about Diwara's reaction. After skipping this topic, he suddenly thought of a detail from before.

"Come to think of it, Popola, were you speaking a language I don't know before?"

"That's Nier language, a language from a later era. It's simpler than the ancient Chinese you use, but it's also a complex language system."

"so."

Yan Luo no longer worried about the language problem. Instead, he needed to consider whether or not to continue moving towards his original goal.

After all, with the skills of Popola and Divara, they have always regarded mechanical life as a threat. It is conceivable that the performance of those round-headed creatures just now was not their full picture.

If the enemies were all at this level, the humanoid resistance would have rebuilt the Earth long ago.

'What do you think?'

(I don't have any good suggestions for the current situation, but a high-dimensional fragment just fell near here from the high-dimensional creatures.)

"Oh? Higher-dimensional fragments? What is that?"

(We generally believe it is an extension of His will, a reward, a curse, or something you urgently need. In its current form, it should be the last one.)

"..."

"What's the matter, sir?"

Seeing Yan Luo's long silence, the twins became a little concerned.

"Nothing, except that today's journey may be over."

Chapter 5: No big problem

"Are you going back?"

Boppola and Divara were a little surprised, but more likely delighted.
