Stellaris from the Automata Era

"As long as the effect is good, it's fine. Speaking of which, I found a lot of desert flowers recently. I'll ask the adults if we can use them to make wine."

"Desert flower!"

After hearing this, Bopora felt a false thirst.

As rare models from the old era, they are actually quite anthropomorphic and can be considered as humanoids that can drink alcohol.

There's even a taste and a simulated feeling of being drunk.

Although it may have been for anesthesia in the past...now it may be more about pursuing a rare taste?

"Well, let's go ask the adults first. I think he would like to drink it too."

So the two sisters walked side by side, talking and laughing.

On the other side, the desert welcomed new uninvited guests.

"Is it this way?!"

a2 looks at the junction of sand and land in the distance.

In fact, she should have come to check it out a few days ago, and the initial cause of all this was because her system was violently breached.

She originally thought she had been infected by some new logic virus and was planning to do her best to counter it.

In the end, the other party just marked a big question mark at a certain location on her map and then retreated.

What is this? A new taunt?

Anyway, that's what she thought. After thinking for a long time, she decided to go to the location on the map to take a look.

One reason was that this unknown existence was too arrogant, which completely aroused her curiosity, so she wanted to go and see what he looked like, and by the way, use a knife to teach him a lesson not to invade other people's systems.

On the other hand... maybe the YoRHa pursuit team has arrived again recently.

As a defecting T-doll, escaping from pursuit was a common occurrence, and she was mentally prepared enough, but encountering one in the Forest Country was something she hadn't expected...it was so far from the central city...

But it didn't matter. She stayed in the Forest Country simply to stay away from the humanoid sphere of influence. The unusual behavior of the mechanical life here also made her curious.

Anyway, the anomaly is almost understood, and the desert is far away from the traditional sphere of influence. It is better to move there, and it should be able to hide for a while.

This way, we can kill fewer ignorant compatriots.

In this way, she secretly returned to the central city and even unexpectedly met a friend she could be considered familiar with. After exchanging parts and strengthening the system, she stumbled all the way towards the desert.

Although judging by the scale of the map, the desert and the central city are not too far apart.

But along the way, the number of mechanical life forms was a little more than usual, and the proportion of large-scale specialized creatures that were taller than humans and faster in movement was also more considerable. Instinctively, she felt that something was wrong.

This caused her to act more cautiously, and the desert that could be reached in a day took her more time.

After all, her self-maintenance is rather troublesome, and collecting supplies is also rather troublesome, which can be seen from her tattered clothes. If she really needs to dissipate heat, she wouldn't be dressed like this. This is simply because she doesn't have the conditions.

"There shouldn't be anyone blocking the road."

She once again turned the round heads on the road into parts, and the first stage of her goal this time should be almost completed.

Opening the system map, the big question mark is still a bit glaring.

As a guide, she didn't delete it. Otherwise, relying solely on her own memory and feelings, she might have been fascinated by the Forest Kingdom for several months (fog), and the desert is quite large...

"It seems this location is quite close to the ruins."

If my memory serves me correctly, that's one of the hardest hit areas for Android.

Could this be a conspiracy of mechanical life?

Although she had such thoughts, she had no intention of stopping there. It would be better to say that it was a conspiracy of mechanical life.

Her self-confidence allows her to be fearless of any danger, and at the same time, she can help her former companions to avenge themselves and educate them.

Without much thought, a2 continued to move forward towards his original plan.

Her next general journey was to cross the desert, chopping off some stray round heads along the way until she reached the marked location.

After encountering some strange machines, she was suddenly confused.

what is this?

Mechanical life? It doesn't seem like...

A new humanoid? Doesn't look like...

After thinking it over for a while, she decided to act according to her instinct.

Cut it off!

Chapter 9: Human, please sign for your white hair!

"What's going on outside? Why does it feel so messy?"

When Yan Luo came out of the machine production workshop, the commotion had already begun, or perhaps the noise outside was too loud, which made Yan Luo, who had recently become obsessed with large-scale figures, come out.

"Ah? Maybe a lone Android accidentally stumbled in. The fighter-type has already taken care of it. But you, sir, haven't you had a rest in a while?"

It's more than just that I haven't had a rest for a long time!

How should we describe Yan Luo’s current look?

You can probably combine the hairstyle when you wake up in the morning and the look in your eyes that comes from excessive cultivation. As for the rest of the description, please allow that the description in words is always too pale and powerless, so you have to rely on your imagination.

In short, he looked haggard.

Under his sleepy and deeply dark eyes, the twin sisters quickly made eye contact.

Look at you, Bobo! What have you taken care of? How did the human become like this?

What does it have to do with me? Wasn't it your turn on the schedule yesterday? I still have something to ask you!

Oh, this? No, it seems like he's been like this for more than a day or two! What happened the day before yesterday?

Good sister... let's just pretend nothing happened, okay? At most, we can urge the adults to rest more often from now on...

Well...

After blaming each other, the plastic twin sisters quickly repaired the gap in their relationship.

To be honest, responsibility actually has little to do with them. Human imagination (cool operations) always exceeds the thinking logic of human beings.

Without the oppression of war and survival crisis, Yan Luo has completely let go of himself, coupled with the technological cheat given to him by a high-dimensional creature before.

Now he would get inspiration in his dreams in the middle of the night, wake up with his eyes open, and then devote himself to the design of drawings and assembly of figures.

If the twin sisters could help organize his work notes, they might even be able to see the sketches of the design ideas for the large civil engineering humanoid machine (Zaku).

Of course, the above topics are issues for the future.

Outside, the music mixed with the sounds of Gatling guns still showed no signs of stopping, and even the simple and intelligent sound of mining machines was heard in the falling sound.

"Enemy attack!"

"Reload!"

"We need support here!"

"Where's the defense system? Why isn't it activated?"

So after about ten seconds, Yan Luo finally expressed his question.

"Is this really a lone Android? Based on the strength and power comparisons from the previous test, the combat models should have started cleaning up the battlefield, right?"

"This..." Bobola and Divara didn't know how to answer. After all, it had only been a few days and they hadn't had time to install surveillance. They didn't know what was happening outside, so they could only answer according to the logic they knew.

After thinking for a second, they drew their knives and decided to go and see for themselves.

However, their actions were quickly stopped by Yan Luo.

"Wait a minute, we just designed a new model recently, so it's a good time to give them a try."

Following a series of instructions from Yan Luo, five so-called new models came out of the workshop.

Well...if the previous excavators could still be said to have a human-shaped appearance, then Yan Luo's new model this time completely abandoned the human-shaped structure.

Wheeled chassis, square body, one arm is shaped like a machine gun and the other is... a rotary rotor?

What kind of weird species is this?

Diwala and Bobola have seriously suspected that overwork has caused human aesthetic cells to make irrelevant mistakes.

If we give this thing a round head and release it as a new species of mechanical life, it wouldn't be inappropriate. Does this shape mean that humans are favoring mechanical life?

"Please, my lord, please let the harmony and stability among us humanoids become extinct."

"Who understands what you're saying?" Yan Luo naturally didn't quite understand. The humanoid's thinking circuits were just as complex as humans'. What kind of thinking could elevate the external appearance to achieve internal harmony? So he continued to direct the new model. "You guys go solve the problem outside."

After receiving the order, they quickly analyzed its meaning, and then moved forward in an orderly manner towards the passage.

Then they all got stuck on the steps in front of the passage.

What a genius design...

By the way, Yan Luo's base is a facility deep underground in the desert, with a collapsed high-rise building disguised as a hidden structure on the surface. Although it is the only building within a five-kilometer radius, it does seem a bit out of place...

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that the underground facilities are connected by a narrow and long passage, in the shape of stairs...

Wheeled chassis and stairs, indeed, the lack of knees is a serious problem in complex terrain.

So the scene was a little... awkward...

In the awkward moment, the twin sisters didn't know whether to be sad or laugh...

However, in order to save the human race's reputation, they finally decided to take back their previous proposal.

"Let's go and have a look."

"Okay...wait, I'll dress up and go with you guys."

It was hard for others to understand his feelings at that moment. He probably felt that no matter who was outside, the mobile battle axe would open a gash in his face... What? The round head! You want to use it? That's even better! Open the neck as well.

However, this idea was obviously difficult to realize. While they were talking, the sound had stopped.

Just when Yan Luo thought the situation outside had calmed down, the new model stuck on the stairs seemed to have discovered something and raised its gun.

Afterwards, a crescent-shaped gaseous blade visible to the naked eye swept across, directly cutting all the rows in half like skewers.

what the hell!

Yan Luo felt that he might be too tired and didn’t see clearly what had just happened!

"It's a magic attack." Divara said in a deep voice.

What the hell is magic (no typos)! This is the translation of magic! You bunch of mechanical materialists are still playing the same tricks as Wei Xin?

The unfolding of reality was too magical. Now Yan Luo strongly regretted not having a good chat with the system about intelligence a few days ago.

Who would have known that a world with a sci-fi appearance actually has a strange layer of skin? In a few days, an evil god will descend and the style of the world will go straight to the supernatural.

In short, just when Yan Luo was strongly suspicious, there was a clear and powerful sound of high heels, and then a white-haired man holding a long knife came out.

"I thought it was a rat hiding underneath, but it turned out to be human-shaped."

He looks so cool! Although the other party also spoke in Nier language, which Yan Luo didn't understand, the sound of his voice didn't prevent him from helping to establish the other party's character.

It’s just that Baimao is carrying a knife... He always feels like he is remembering something he has forgotten.

Oh my goodness! Could this be the one that was attracted here?

It's been a few days! I just came here!

If he had followed the normal process, without the unexpected factors of Popola and Divara, he would have been trapped to death in the hibernation capsule!

"If we are mice, then what are you who entered the mouse hole?"

"Also! Don't use such rude names in front of humans!"

Naturally, Yan Luo still didn’t understand these two sentences... How important it is to learn a foreign language at this time.

"Humanity?"

Such keywords gave a2 a shock.

She naturally ignored the twin sisters that could be sensed in the signal and looked at the life that could only be detected with the naked eye.

In an instant, intense hatred and love intertwined with her memories.

a2. Because you leaked confidential information and mismanaged confidential information, the Lunar Human Conference ordered your execution.

The mechanical lifeforms, the bunker, the headquarters, the lunar human conference... I'm going to kill them all.
