Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

"Well... alright then." Shen Ye could only nod.

"Thank you so much." The girl with glasses pinched the corner of her skirt and gracefully bent her knee.

"You are such kind people."

"Thank my girlfriend, I'm not that kind." Shen Ye waved his hand and continued walking forward.

"But you're not bad either." The girl with glasses carried a large suitcase and followed closely beside him.

Chapter 237! Yakol

……

Compared to the outer perimeter of the camp, the central part of the camp was more lively, though it also felt somewhat crowded.

The roadside was lined with various stalls, and the merchants were naturally androids, selling all sorts of strange and unusual things, but most of them were mechanical parts, all found from mechanical life forms or human ruins.

"It's completely different from the game. There are so many more people, it's much more lively, just like a human market," Shen Ye thought as he looked around.

This is quite normal, though; humanity has evolved step by step into a unique social system. But upon closer examination, it seems mechanical life forms are similar; they also have their own "civilization" and society.

"Hello, may I ask your names?"

Beside her, the bespectacled girl asked. She was carrying a large suitcase and walked in a strange way, as if she had a problem with her knees and was not very flexible—or rather, too flexible.

"Sorry, it's not convenient to reveal our names."

Although the girl with glasses had a sweet and lovely appearance, Shen Ye was not very at ease with this suddenly appearing android, because he did not recall this character ever appearing in the game.

Of course, it's also related to his lack of seriousness in playing games; perhaps she appeared in some file but he just didn't see it.

For some reason, A2 seemed to have a strong liking for this girl, like a younger sister. Looking at the girl's displeased pout, she said, "His name is Shen Ye, as for me..."

She paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "A2."

"Oh! A2, hello!" The girl with glasses showed no emotion, nodded to A2, and continued to Shen Ye, "Shen Ye, this is a very unusual naming method. I've traveled to so many places, and this is the first time I've ever heard of it!"

“Now you’ve heard about it.” Shen Ye glanced at her.

“Now that you know our names, you should tell us about yourself!” Shen Ye said again.

“Yakol.” The girl with glasses pointed to herself, “Yakol, a wandering beautiful girl recorder, dreams of recording everything that happens in this world and then making a history book that can be passed down through generations.”

“A grand wish, but now there are more convenient tools, memory banks.” Shen Ye pointed to his head and then walked into a three-story apartment building.

A "For Rent" sign was hanging at the entrance of the apartment. The price was a bit high, but it was understandable given that this was a large rebel camp.

"The rent is three thousand a month. Other precious metals can be used instead of currency, but gold is the best choice, as it is more universal."

The person who greeted Shen Ye was a female android, who looked like a woman in her thirties. She was wearing a proper long dress, but she spoke in a very formal and expressionless manner.

"The room is 304, a two-bedroom apartment that mimics human features, with a kitchen and a bathroom. The bathroom also has a bathtub and a toilet, but the toilet is unusable; it's just for decoration," the female android added.

"The toilet doesn't work? No problem, we don't need it anyway, but it's great to have a bathtub, we can take a bath." Before Shen Ye and A2 could say anything after hearing what the woman who greeted them said, the girl with glasses exclaimed excitedly.

"Be careful the water seepage doesn't short-circuit your machine," Shen Ye said irritably.

“It’s alright, my machine is a high-end model, just like hers.” Yakoll pointed to A2. “Water seepage won’t affect me.”

"Hehe!" Shen Ye was too lazy to say anything more, took the keys, and carried A2 upstairs.

Shen Ye opened room 304 and walked in expressionlessly. Just as he had imagined, the room was simply furnished. Apart from a bed, there was a wardrobe and a bedside table, as well as a sofa in the living room, compared to the camp in the forest. Judging from the dust on the wardrobe and sofa, the previous residents had obviously not used them.

"The bathtub can be filled with water, Shen, come and see!"

Shen Ye wiped the dust off the sofa with his hand. Just as he placed the A2 on the sofa, he heard the bespectacled girl who had rushed into the bathroom as soon as she entered the room shouting inside.

"She's so noisy, I've never seen an artificial human like this before," Shen Ye complained to A2.

“She’s just special.” A2 lifted her hood, a faint smile on her face. “Homunculi have existed in this world for thousands of years, and there are always some special ones, like you, who actually thought of getting some dust on the sofa. An ordinary homunculus would never care.”

“That makes sense.” Shen Ye thought about it and agreed.

“But you’re right about one thing, she is indeed too noisy.” The girl with glasses was still shouting, and A2 couldn’t help but say to Shen Ye, “Why don’t you go in and take a look!”

Shen Ye nodded and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, Yako was wiping the dust out of the bathtub with a rag she had found somewhere. The faucet next to her was running, and the splashing water had soaked her upper body quite a bit.

Shen Ye took a few steps forward and stood behind Yako. As he looked down at the bathtub, he also saw the girl with glasses whose chest was wet from the water. Her top was a lace-trimmed blouse with only a thin layer between her neck and chest. When it got wet, it became colorless and transparent, clinging tightly to her body. So when he looked down, he saw a bottomless canyon.

Shen Ye quickly looked up. It was their first meeting, and he didn't dare to look at each other so openly. Of course, if it were A2, then... it wouldn't matter.

"Ahem...you've exposed yourself." Shen Ye coughed lightly twice, reminding her. Such an outgoing and lively android girl must have some sense of shame, right?

Sure enough, upon hearing Shen Ye's light cough, the girl with glasses looked up and saw him staring at the ceiling with a somewhat unnatural expression. Then, as if remembering something, she looked down at him.

The girl with glasses, being a high-end machine, clearly understood what "revealing too much" meant. She had a sense of shame, covering her chest with one hand and pointing outside with the other: "Get out."

"They just invited me in, and now they're kicking me out. It's so ridiculous." Of course, Shen Ye couldn't just leave like that. He couldn't just come and go as he pleased; that would make him lose face!

Seeing that Shen Ye remained unmoved, Yako became a little anxious and got up to push Shen Ye. However, as soon as her hand left her chest, Shen Ye's eyes involuntarily glanced over.

It looks a bit bigger than A2.

Yakoll puffed out his cheeks, one hand already gripping the enormous suitcase, seemingly intending to smash it over Shen Ye's head.

Seeing Yakor pick up the suitcase, Shen Ye knew the girl with glasses was really anxious, so he shrugged and turned to leave the bathroom.

"How can there be such an artificial human? It looks just like a human." After Shen Ye left, Yako closed the door and thought angrily.

She then squatted down beside the bathtub, frowning as she thought, "Logically speaking, the evolution of androids shouldn't be this fast, even with the current plans being implemented in the bunker... Or perhaps..."

She was a little unsure, so she quickly opened her suitcase and took out a special storage device.

Chapter 238! High-end Goods

……

As Shen Ye emerged from the bathroom, he saw the android girl slowly cleaning the room with a broom.

"A housekeeper creating an artificial human?" Shen Ye suddenly thought.

However, YoRHa Type A is a combat-type android and does not have a housekeeping mode. Basically, like Roberto, he is good at fighting, but when it comes to housework, well, let's just say he's not very good at it.

Moreover, A2 is not as good as Roberto. At least Roberto avoids getting dust on her clothes when doing housework, but the android girl is different. She doesn't have that concept. Wearing a cloak that is a bit too big for her, she didn't sweep the floor very well, but the cloak dragging on the ground wiped it clean.

However, it's understandable. In the original storyline, when 2B met A2, A2 was also covered in dirt, as if she had never taken a bath. Her clothes were also tattered, with her skirt so torn that her underwear was showing. She looked even more miserable than a beggar.

"It's time to buy her some clothes," Shen Ye thought, resting his chin on his hand.

A few days ago at the forest camp, there were women's clothes for sale, but A2 didn't want to change her clothes and didn't mention it. Shen Ye didn't offer to buy her any either. After all, A2 wearing tattered clothes, especially stockings with holes everywhere, actually suited his unique aesthetic. During the few days they spent alone together, he had quite a feast for the eyes.

But things are different now. He's arrived at a large rebel camp with lots of androids, and he doesn't want A2 to go out in his current clothes.

This can be considered a selfish trait of men!

Seeing the A2 struggling to be cleaned, Shen Ye offered to help, saying, "I'll go out for a bit later and find a repair shop to do some maintenance for you. I'll also buy you a few sets of clothes while I'm at it."

A2 nodded and then said, "I don't need the clothes, I'm fine as I am."

She genuinely didn't think there was anything wrong with her attire. In fact, to carry out her revenge plan, she had always fought alone in the wild and rarely went to gathering places of her kind. Even when she did go, it was to buy some parts. Her contact with the android society was far less than that of some ordinary models, so she had no concept of many things.

"That won't do, you're my girlfriend." Shen Ye held up one finger and shook it gently.

……

After quickly cleaning the room, Shen Ye carried A2 out the door.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Jacques had finished reading the contents of the memory. Unable to solve her doubts, she simply gave up, tidied up her things, and then turned on the water.

Soon, she took off all her clothes and lay down in the bathtub.

“Even androids need to enjoy themselves! After walking for so long, a bath is the best way to relieve fatigue.” Yakoll ran his fingers through the water in the bathtub, watching his chest appear and disappear on the rippling surface, and then his face turned cold.

"That despicable guy is just as despicable as humans, just like those bad men Zero talked about."

"But speaking of which, I wonder how Zero is doing now. Her problem should be resolved by now, right? Sigh, I really want to go visit her again. This world is so monotonous!"

……

The rebel camp in the city is large, but there's not much to see. Although they sell food for certain aircraft models, most of the goods are just mechanical parts.

Shen Ye took A2 for a stroll in the nearby market before finally finding a shop that specialized in repairing androids.

The shop owner was a middle-aged android. After seeing A2 behind Shen Ye and asking a few simple questions, he pointed to a machine in the shop and said, "No problem. Just put her in. This is a high-end product that the leader got from the bunker. It's suitable for any new model of machine."

Soon, the fully repaired A2 emerged from the machine. Not only was it repaired, but the surface wear was also repaired, leaving it completely smooth and shiny.

However, such high-end goods naturally come at a high price, and Shen Ye paid a full one-kilogram gold bar as repair fees.

After leaving the repair shop, the two bought some food at the market, and then Shen Ye picked out a few clothes for A2.

Unfortunately, the clothes sold here are made of ordinary, rough fabric. They're okay at blocking out wind and sand, but they're not very attractive, far less so than the clothes A2 is wearing in terms of material and style.

This reminded Shen Ye of the bespectacled girl named Yako. Her clothes were not something that could be made in this era; they had lace trim and an exquisite pleated skirt, which was quite strange.
