Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

After saying a few more words, only to receive a single "hmm" from the android girl, Shen Ye helplessly shut his mouth. He suspected that A2's personality had reverted to that of a taciturn, mature, and aloof beauty.

But in fact, the reason A2 didn't fall silent was that she had a dream while she was dozing last night.

It's so strange that an android dreams.

So A2 kept thinking about this, trying hard to recall the details of the dream, while also wanting to ask Shen Ye if he had dreamt.

But even though she is an artificial human, her former ordinary girl personality still influences her, making her ashamed to speak out.

After all, Shen Ye's figure appeared in her dream. Although nothing happened in the dream, it was a complete reenactment of the night she was taking a bath and Shen Ye spied on her. But she didn't know how to bring it up.

"This is so confusing! Why am I having this kind of dream? I'd better hurry to the large rebel camp and find someone to erase this memory," the android girl thought to herself.

However, she suddenly felt a little reluctant to part with it.

Because this was her first dream.

……

After several days of arduous travel, the two finally arrived at their destination.

A city that has been overrun by plants.

It's not quite accurate to call it an invasion, because tens of thousands of years ago, the location of this city was probably a forest or grassland. It's just that after humans became extinct, plants took over the area again.

"No matter how great a city was created in the past, it seems that it cannot withstand the erosion of time!"

Looking at the dilapidated city, Shen Ye sighed inwardly.

However, although the city was dilapidated, there were still many high-rise buildings to be seen. Moreover, because the city covered a huge area, what Shen Ye was seeing now was only the tip of the iceberg, unlike in the game where you could see the whole thing at a glance.

A2, perched on Shen Ye's back, could see further. However, she was familiar with the area and quickly looked away. She then pulled down the hood on her head, hiding her face in the wide, deep hood, pointed in a direction, and uttered the longest sentence she had spoken in days: "Go that way, pass through a few streets, and you'll see the rebel camp."

"Are there many people in the camp?" Shen Ye noticed A2's movements, but didn't pay attention.

“There are many, probably two or three thousand,” the android girl said.

Shen Ye was slightly taken aback. So many? But thinking about it, it made sense. With so many airborne operations, plus the androids and factories left behind when humanity retreated to the moon, there couldn't possibly be only a handful of androids on the surface like in the game. (Not entirely based on the game's setting.)

"It doesn't sound like a camp, it sounds more like a town. I remember that a human town only has a few thousand people." As Shen Ye spoke, he walked in the direction A2 was pointing.

“It’s really lively here.” A nostalgic expression appeared on A2’s face. She remembered the past. One year, she and a few androids she met on the road came here together.

"Do you know anyone here?" Shen Ye asked again.

“Yes!” A2 remembered a female android with whom she had a good relationship.

"That's good, you can get asylum now."

"Don't even think about it. She's very busy and often has to go out. Also, you've gone to the wrong place." A2 patted Shen Ye on the shoulder and continued, "I don't know if she's in the camp or not. If she is, we can ask her to arrange accommodation and repair tools for us."

"A big shot!" Shen Ye guessed who she was talking about.

Anne Morning, the leader of the Earth Resistance.

“She is indeed a big shot.” ​​A2 nodded, remembering his friend’s identity.

As they spoke, the two walked through streets and high-rise buildings.

To be honest, Shen Ye felt a little uneasy when passing by the tall buildings. So many years had passed, who knew if these buildings would suddenly collapse?

However, recalling how 2B and 9S once walked over those tall buildings in the game, and how the two androids, weighing a combined 600 pounds, didn't cause the buildings to collapse or get damaged, I couldn't help but think to myself that the people who built those buildings were quite responsible.

"It's right in front."

After crossing another street, A2 raised her hand again, this time pulling her arm back into her cloak.

Just as A2 finished speaking, several androids armed with guns suddenly jumped down from the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street.

“Travelers, please state your purpose,” said one of the tall male androids.

“My companion is injured and I would like to have it repaired and maintained here.” Shen Ye freed one hand and patted the A2 behind him. The android girl then stretched out one hand, revealing the wear and tear and scars on its surface.

“They’ve been scanned. They’re the same kind, but new faces,” another female android said to the one who asked the question.

“Since we are of the same kind, please come in. The camp has the best repair tools on the surface.” The male android stepped aside and gestured for them to enter.

"Thank you." Shen Ye nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

……

Chapter 236! The Girl with Glasses

……

"As expected of a large camp, the androids here are very polite!" After passing through the camp's outpost, Shen Ye continued walking in with A2 on his back. The further he went in, the more androids there were, including men, women, and children. It looked not much different from a human city.

"Aside from a few unlucky souls whose cores were contaminated, most of the androids are very polite." A2 looked around, and for some reason, a familiar yet strange feeling arose.

"Speaking of which, haven't you been here before? Hurry up and give me directions to meet your important friend," Shen Ye said. The environment here is quite nice; it would be a good place to settle down for a short period.

“I’m struggling with this.” A2 frowned in a human-like manner. “It must be because I haven’t been here for too long. This place has changed a lot. It used to be an empty lot with nothing here.”

She pointed to the houses and tents along the roadside, which was why she felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

"It seems she's taken in quite a few homeless androids this year," A2 muttered to herself.

The androids have conducted airborne operations on the Earth more than once, and the bunker is not the only base on Earth. There are more than a dozen bases in the satellite orbit. Every year, the number of androids deployed in airborne operations of all sizes is not small.

"So what do we do now? Should we ask someone?" Shen Ye turned his head and asked.

But before A2 could speak, he grabbed a passing android.

"Friend, excuse me, what about your..."

At this point, Shen Ye stopped talking. He suddenly remembered that A2 hadn't told him who her friend was—even though he knew who it was.

Then he turned to ask, "What's the name of your important friend?"

“Annie Morning, the leader of this camp. Also, that man is gone,” A2 said.

The android that Shen Ye forcibly pulled back was originally going to answer his question, but seeing that he himself didn't know who he was looking for, he simply left.

"I take back what I just said. Not all the androids here are polite. His core must have been contaminated." Shen Ye said resentfully, watching the departing android's back.

"Pfft..." Hearing Shen Ye's words, A2's face, hidden in the hood, suddenly broke into a smile. Although she quickly covered it with her hand, the sound still reached Shen Ye's ears.

"Laugh if you want to, after all, it's rare to see you laugh out loud." Shen Ye glanced back at her.

However, those words caused A2's smile to freeze, and she fell silent.

To be honest, she can't even remember how many times she's laughed these past few days.

Shen Ye didn't notice this; he was about to ask the next passerby.

Just then, a clear, girlish voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Excuse me, are you looking for someone?"

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Ye turned around and discovered that the owner of the voice was a beautiful young girl carrying a huge suitcase and wearing round-framed glasses.

Seeing Shen Ye turn around, the girl with glasses continued to ask, "Excuse me, are you looking for someone?"

Shen Ye paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, find a woman named Annie Morning to have a baby."

"Oh, so you're looking for the leader of this camp!" The girl with glasses glanced at the A2 on Shen Ye's back, a strange expression flashing across her face before she quickly returned to normal and continued looking at Shen Ye: "I heard she led a team out the day before yesterday. You've come at the wrong time."

"That's a bit of a shame. I was hoping to use my connections to ask her to help me arrange a place to stay!"

Despite saying that, Shen Ye showed no regret or pity. After thanking the girl with glasses, he prepared to carry A2 towards the more central area of ​​the camp. Even without someone to guide them, they needed to find a place to stay first.

No sooner had he left than the girl with glasses followed him up, saying, "I'm also looking for a place to stay. Want to come along? I can split the rent."

"I don't lack money." Shen Ye quickened his pace.

The transactions between androids are not just barter, but also have a currency system. Of course, paper money is not accepted here, only precious metals such as gold, silver and copper are accepted.

"But I'm short of money. I don't have much money on me, and I can't afford to rent a place here," the bespectacled girl said, jogging alongside him.

"You can find anywhere to rest; we androids aren't picky about where we live," Shen Ye continued to refuse.

"But if you can live in a better house, why stay on the streets?" the bespectacled girl persisted. "Do you really want to see a poor girl carrying a big suitcase, exposed to the wind and rain on the street? And having to worry about other malicious androids tearing me apart? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Do androids have a conscience? Or rather, do they have a heart?

“A…” Shen Ye almost blurted out the code name A2, then quickly corrected himself: “My girlfriend said the androids in this camp are very friendly.”

"Your girlfriend?" The girl with glasses was taken aback for a moment, but immediately said, "I just heard your girlfriend say that most of them are friendly, but there are still a small number of bad people."

"Maybe your luck isn't so bad after all!"

"If I'm lucky, the money won't have fallen." The girl with glasses looked helpless.

"Please, please take me with you. I'm fine sleeping on the floor, I won't bother you." The girl with glasses pleaded, looking just like a real human girl.

Shen Ye still wanted to refuse, but then he heard A2's voice behind him: "Shen, I remember a few days ago when we were camping, you said that humans would take care of their weaker kind, right?"

“Yes.” Shen Ye nodded, not understanding why A2 suddenly brought this up.

"Humans take care of their weak kin, and we can take care of our kin in distress, just like you took care of me." A2 wasn't sure why she said that, but felt like she was influenced by Shen Ye?

"You mean... you want to bring her along?" Shen Ye asked, puzzled.

“Hmm!” A2 nodded.
