Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

After handing the bag of daily necessities to Robert, Shen Ye took out his phone and called his old classmate who was working at the furniture store. He ordered several sets of bunk beds, then put on an apron and went into the kitchen.

He planned to cook himself a nice meal to treat himself and celebrate Alice and the others' arrival...

My old classmate from the furniture store was very helpful; shortly after lunch, he sent someone to deliver all the beds I ordered.

Shen Ye didn't let them in, but only left them at the door. After all, a room full of women, all kinds of beauties, might cause misunderstandings, since there are always heartless people who like to spread rumors.

With Jessie around, assembling the bed was naturally very simple. However, no one let her do it alone. Everyone contributed their efforts, some disassembling the bed, some cleaning, and some moving things. It was all done in just over an hour.

Shen Ye originally planned to dismantle his own bedroom bed as well. Although it was the second bedroom, it was still quite large and could fit two bunk beds if squeezed in. However, everyone except him disagreed.

Scarlett was even more direct, saying, "Without a large bed, it's really inconvenient."

Shen Ye understood what they meant, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized it would indeed be inconvenient.

Next, Shen Ye took Alice and the others out again to get SIM cards. Although there was Wi-Fi at home, there would always be a day when they needed to use their phones to stay connected.

After getting the cards, Shen Ye didn't go straight home. Instead, he took them for a walk around the store, and only after receiving countless envious glances did he finally take them home with great satisfaction.

……

For the next period of time, Shen Ye stopped going to work. Except for one day when the director asked him to go to the office to complete the resignation procedures, he spent the rest of the time either staying at home all day or taking them out shopping, and occasionally taking some time to train.

However, the women in his family were unwilling to hit him too hard, so hitting him wouldn't have any real effect. Therefore, the so-called training was just taking Robert and the others to the shooting club to shoot and have some fun.

Of course, these are all things done during the day; as for the night...

Well, Shen Ye's nightlife is relatively rich. He will deliberately play games for a few hours or watch anime for a few hours, and then wait for the others to arrive.

The women seemed to have all agreed to take turns going to his room, so his large bed, which hadn't been dismantled, came in very handy.

Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time to go to the next story world.

……

As midnight approached, Shen Ye dressed himself and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Tifa sleeping on the bed while waiting for the system to appear.

The moment the time reached zero, the system prepared to appear, and after a familiar dialogue, a white light appeared.

The white light ended as I drifted between sleep and wakefulness.

Shen Ye opened his eyes and was greeted by a desolate desert.

Shen Ye bent down and grabbed a handful of sand. The scorching sun made the sand scalding hot, so Shen Ye let go and let the sand be blown away by the wind.

However, the wind did not blow the sand out of his hands; some larger particles remained. Shen Ye looked down and saw that they appeared to be iron filings.

"The remnants of technology make it look like the end of the world," Shen Ye muttered to himself, then opened the system interface.

[Story World: NieR: Automata]

[Genre: Survival, Fantasy, Future, Post-Apocalyptic, Fantasy?]

[Synopsis: In 5012, aliens landed on Earth and created mechanical life forms to invade this vibrant planet. Humanity fought desperately but was defeated. The remaining humans had to leave Earth and flee to the moon, where they established twelve bases in satellite orbit to carry out a counterattack plan.]

Despite countless large and small-scale airborne operations over thousands of years, humanity has failed to reclaim Earth and has gradually perished over time.

In 11932, thousands of years later, the development of the artificial weapon known as "YoYa" began and its manufacture was permitted.

After several more years of research, the first "YoYa" model humanoid weapon was put into use and participated in orbital airborne operations for the first time.

However, the androids of this world are unaware that humanity has perished. Their struggle is hopeless, yet they continue their efforts to help the "surviving humans" reclaim their now barren and desolate "Blue Planet."

And you, a traveler who came to this world by chance, have actually become the only human on this planet. However, you will face endless mechanical life, and...

[Note 1: Due to the host's entry, a butterfly effect will occur in the story world, causing some fluctuations.]

[Note 2: This world is quite dangerous. Please be careful at all times.]

[Hint 3: The host's timeline is half a month before the arrival of the new generation of YoRHa squad]

[Hint 4: Although you are the only human in this world, you are the greatest enemy to mechanical life forms that have already developed the concept of society.]

[Tip 5: Do not reveal your human identity too early; it's not just mechanical life forms that are hostile to you.]

Chapter 225! Disguise

(Note: Some settings have been modified, especially the original storyline's setting that the planet stopped rotating.)

……

"It's Neil... wow, I remember it's a world with a huge and complex setting."

After reading the plot summary, Shen Ye frowned deeply. He had naturally played this classic game before, including its predecessor and even the one before that, the Drakengard series, all of which were set in the same universe.

As for Shen Ye, he generally doesn't spend too much energy studying plots with complex worldviews; at most, he only has a general understanding. Therefore, his current understanding of Neil's backstory is only superficial.

"Forget it, the plot will change every time anyway. Relying too much on the foresight of the plot will only limit my performance. What I need to do now is... disguise."

The system's prompts were accurate, and he also knew that the mechanical life forms in this world had become highly intelligent, and had even begun to replace humans, creating a new social system.

The appearance of humans, on the contrary, arouses their panic and hostility.

So after reading the system's prompt, he immediately retrieved a set of clothes suitable for his survival in the desert from the system space, and put on a large cloak, mask, and goggles. Then he switched his profession to Mechanical Heart.

In a world overrun by mechanical lifeforms, the Machine Heart has a unique affinity for machines, making it easier for him to disguise his human identity. Whether it's mechanical lifeforms, surviving old-model android rebels, or new-model YoRHa androids, as long as they don't have close contact, they will only treat him as an ordinary android.

As he switched to the Mechanical Heart profession, a crack suddenly appeared in the space beside him, and a small machine emerged, circled him once, and then floated beside him.

This is the exclusive companion that all mechanics receive after changing jobs; it is a robot with a certain level of intelligence.

"From now on, you are my POD, and I'll call you... Firepower!" Shen Ye said to the little robot.

POD, the android's battle partner, is almost ubiquitous, which aligns with his disguised identity.

After teasing the little robot with his finger for a while, Shen Ye looked up at the sun and then took out a military compass.

However, the magnetic field in the desert seemed to be disturbed, and the compass was spinning wildly and wouldn't stop.

"There's probably more than just iron filings in the desert sand." Shen Ye shook his head helplessly, recalling the handful of sand he had just grabbed.

Since the compass was unusable, Shen Ye could only follow the sun. So he took out a wooden stick from his system space, stuck it in the ground, marked it, and waited for a while for the shadow to move and determine his direction.

Soon, as the sun moved and the shadows shifted, he discerned his direction. After packing his things, he headed south.

In fact, the place he is in now might have been a forest, a grassland, a lake, or a town inhabited by humans thousands of years ago.

But after the arrival of alien creatures, everything changed. War altered the landscape and climate, the land became polluted, and life perished, turning the once blue planet into a lifeless wasteland.

Human traces have also slowly faded and disappeared over time.

Therefore, the entire NieR series is a tragedy—a tragedy for humanity, a tragedy for the planet, a tragedy for the androids, and... a tragedy for the alien beings—because as the creators of mechanical beings, they were destroyed by the mechanical life they created.

……

Although Shen Ye's current physical condition allows him to walk for a day and a night without feeling tired, he still feels bored walking alone in the boundless desert.

The uneven sand, with its varying depths, made him feel extremely uncomfortable; every step felt like he had to use all his strength.

After walking for nearly two hours, Shen Ye decided to stop and rest. He took off the face mask that was protecting him from the wind and sand, smoked a cigarette to relieve his fatigue, and drank some water to replenish the water that he hadn't actually lost much of.

While drinking water, Shen Ye suddenly remembered that in the game, some mechanical life forms seemed to have evolved the function of "eating" in order to imitate humans, and there were even mechanical life forms that drank alcohol. In the spin-off series, there was also a scene of androids drinking water.

"I wonder if androids need to eat." After drinking the water, Shen Ye began to think, but he didn't recall ever seeing one.

"If I don't need to eat, then eating will become a big problem for me in the future. If I go to those artificial humans, um, the gathering place of the resistance, I guess I'll have to hide in the side and eat without revealing my human identity."

The fact that he couldn't reveal his human identity too early was a major headache, but remembering the system's warning, he had no choice.

After all, according to the background setting, NieR's world contains magic and some supernatural and mysterious beings.

The extinction of humankind is actually related to them.

Moreover, this world is also home to a vast number of mechanical life forms that have inherited the creator's, or rather, the alien life form's, will to destroy humanity. They are not only numerous but also incredibly powerful, which is why the artificial humans, who have been able to establish bases in satellite orbits, have been unable to eliminate them even after thousands of years.

"The road ahead is tough! This isn't a good start," Shen Ye complained.

Thinking back to his previous worlds, although he fought to the death against a group of powerful enemies in the later stages, he fared quite well in the early stages, with plenty of food and drink, and beautiful women by his side. But now…

Shen Ye shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it. Feeling that he had rested enough, he got up and continued on his way.

He planned to leave the desert as soon as possible. He disliked the climate and the scorching sun overhead, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

And so they walked from day to night.

The desert at night transformed into a different climate; the ground, unable to retain heat, caused the temperature to drop rapidly. Soon after dark, Shen Ye unconsciously wrapped his clothes tighter around himself.

Just as he was crossing a sand dune, preparing to find a flat place to camp, he suddenly smelled a burning smell.

Shen Ye was taken aback at first, then suddenly looked up. In the dim moonlight, he seemed to see a column of smoke rising in the distance.

Chapter 226! The First Generation Yoroi Experimental Machine?

……

Shen Ye naturally didn't think that someone was lighting a fire there. Even if he wasn't the only human, those mechanical lifeforms and androids that imitated humans probably wouldn't need to light a fire for warmth.
