Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

9S, who was standing next to her, couldn't hold back any longer and said, "2B, aren't you really curious about what Annie Morning just said about drinking and partying? It sounds really interesting, like humans."

Before 2B could react, he continued, "I know you'll say something like it's meaningless again, but if it really were meaningless, why would humans do it? I think that since it exists, it must have meaning, it's just that we can't comprehend it."

After a moment of silence, 2B said, "Because we are just androids, we don't need to be like humans, nor are we allowed to be like humans."

"But Annie Morning and the others..."

Before 9S could finish speaking, 2B interrupted him: "They are them, we are us, we are different, and this is only a minority of androids."

Also, we've arrived, so let's not talk anymore.

9S had no choice but to shut up and follow 2B into the apartment.

However, just as they were about to go upstairs, they suddenly saw two red-haired android girls coming down from above, so they had to step aside and make way for them.

These two android girls are twin sisters.

They were talking as they went downstairs.

"Honestly, sister, why did you drink so much last night? Not only did it delay your work, but it also caused trouble for Shen. He slept on the floor all night yesterday," Popola complained to her sister.

"We're mainly happy! And Shen didn't blame us," Divala said. She had injured one leg and had difficulty moving around, so she needed Popola's help to go downstairs, which made their journey slow.

“That’s because he has a good personality. If it were someone else, they would have cursed us with all sorts of vicious language by now.” Popola sighed as she spoke, “When we go back later, those people will definitely do that.”

"It doesn't matter anymore, let them say whatever they want, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Shen is here. If I'm in a bad mood, I'll just go find him for a drink," Divala said, waving her hand vigorously.

"But it's not good to keep bothering him like this," Popola said, a little embarrassed.

"So, if he ever needs our help in the future, we must do our best to help him, no matter what his request is," Divala said.

“That’s all we can do, but it seems he doesn’t need it.” Popola looked regretful.

"Don't worry, that day will come eventually," Divala patted Popola on the shoulder, comforting her.

As they finished walking down the last step of the stairs, the twin sisters politely thanked 2B and 9S for making way for them before exiting the apartment building.

"They seem to know that guy named Shen too, and they even drank with him," 9S said to 2B after watching the twins leave.

2B ignored him and went up the stairs to the third floor.

Behind him, 9S lowered his head, looking somewhat dejected.

……

Third floor, at the entrance of room 304.

Looking at the half-open door, 2B was about to push it open when she suddenly remembered Anne Morning's words. So she turned her outstretched hand around and gently knocked on the door.

"Divara? Popola? Is that you? Or have you decided to have breakfast first before leaving?" Shen Ye's voice came from inside the house.

“It’s us, 2B and 9S,” 2B said.

The next second, the door opened.

Shen Ye opened the door. He wasn't surprised to see the two people in front of him, since Annie Morning had told him yesterday that 2B and 9S were coming back today. So he simply asked, "So early? Have you had breakfast yet?"

2B: "..."

9S: "..."

Clearly, neither of them knew how to continue the conversation.

Realizing they couldn't keep up with the conversation, Shen Ye smiled awkwardly, then stepped aside to let the two in, and said, "You probably haven't eaten yet since it's so early. Since Divala and Popola have left, you can have the breakfast prepared for them."

“No need, we don’t need to eat.” 2B glanced at A2 and Jakob sitting at the table and said with a frown.

Upon hearing this, 9S, who was standing to the side, showed a regretful expression again.

“Not needing it doesn’t mean you can’t eat it. I heard that the Yoruichi model has a complete digestive system, so it would be a waste not to eat it. Just have some, don’t be shy.” Shen Ye said generously to the two of them.

……

Chapter 270! Strange Movement

……

2B still shook her head and refused, but seeing 9S's eager look, she said, "9S, you can eat it if you want."

"And what about you?" 9S asked.

“Don’t worry about me.” 2B shook his head.

9S hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down at the table and picked up a spoon with some excitement.

Breakfast was simple: a pot of thick meat broth that Shen Ye had learned from Alice's mother, Ms. Emina. However, it was missing some essential spices, so the taste wasn't quite the same as the original.

However, this was already considered delicious for the androids.

Watching the people drinking soup at the dining table, 2B sat on the sofa, carefully examining the room's layout.

To be honest, although androids aren't particularly picky about their environment, 2B has to admit that the room's decor gave her a very warm feeling, something she couldn't experience in her monotonous single bedroom in the bunker.

Just as she was feeling somewhat sentimental, she suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She looked over and asked, "Are there other people here?"

“Yes, and he’s someone you know,” Shen Ye said.

"My...acquaintance?" 2B looked at the Assist Machine beside her in confusion, but the Assist Machine did not give any answer, obviously it had not detected who it was.

"Who is it?" she asked.

Shen Ye scraped the last bit of soup from the bowl and put it in his mouth, then said, "You'll know when she comes out."

2B could only look back at the bathroom, her eyes full of confusion.

Not long after, the bathroom door opened, and 11B, wearing the maid outfit that Jakob had hastily made overnight, came out.

"11B." Upon seeing her, 2B jumped up, and 9S, who was drinking soup from her bowl, also put down her bowl in surprise.

"You're still alive."

11B tugged at her collar, feeling it was a little tight. After hearing 2B's words, she glanced at Shen Ye before saying, "Yeah, I'm still alive. Surprised?"

“I thought… wait, since you’re still alive, why don’t you contact me or the bunker?” 2B stared intently at 11B, asking with utter confusion.

11B walked over to A2, sat down, and said, "Because, I don't want to go back!"

"So you're planning to defect from the bunker?" 2B immediately understood what she meant.

"That's roughly the idea." 11B nodded.

2B's eyes instantly turned cold: "Do you know what the consequences of defecting from the bunker are?"

“I know, just like A2, I’m being hunted down by you guys,” 11B said.

"If you know that, why did you do it?" 2B asked, puzzled.

11B didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "If I tell you, will you let me go?"

"impossible."

"Then I can only say there's no reason." 11B's defection was related to some secrets of the bunker. She could tell Shen Ye and the others who had nothing to do with the bunker, but she absolutely could not tell 2B and the others, otherwise it would lead to very serious consequences.

"Since you won't tell me, I'll have to take you back first." With that, 2B waved her hand, and the White Contract appeared in her palm.

Seeing this, 11B remained calm. She had something to rely on now. She asked, "Since you want to take me, a defector, back, why did you let A2 go last time? And so many days have passed, and the bunker hasn't sent anyone over. I suppose you haven't told the bunker about A2, have you?"

Upon hearing this, 2B fell silent. She didn't know how to respond. Should she say it was because A2 saved her? But that would imply that she wasn't as loyal to the bunker as she thought.

"You don't know how to explain this, do you, 2B? So why can't you let me go like you let A2 go? And if the Commander finds out that you let A2 go, you'll be punished too, won't you?" 11B asked.

2B fell silent again, her expression constantly shifting as if she were engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Finally, she nodded helplessly.

……

In fact, the bunker didn't take the android defection very seriously. Over the years, YoRHa models that defected from the bunker weren't just 11B... A2 was hunted down by the bunker for other reasons, not because of defection.

So 2B seemed to agree with great difficulty, but in reality, she didn't have much of a psychological burden, as she had seen it all before.

The main reason is that she is not a rigid android. As long as no one notifies the bunker, she can treat 11B as a real "dead person".

In the game, she also kept 11B's defection plan a secret from the bunker.

"By the way, what is your mission this time? And why do you need our assistance?"

Seeing that the matter with 11B was temporarily resolved, Shen Ye asked 2B, though it was a question he already knew the answer to.

"Didn't Annie Morning tell you?" 2B seemed a little distracted. She noticed 11B helping A2 tidy up the table, which piqued her curiosity.

"I told you, but I think it's just to investigate the unusual activity of the mechanical lifeforms, so we probably don't need that many people, right?" Shen Ye took the water glass that Yakor handed him. It was filled with flower petals, which were leftovers from Yakor's soap-making process.

"But it was really just to investigate the unusual activity of the machine lifeforms, there was no other reason." 2B lied without any psychological pressure.

"Alright then." Shen Ye shrugged. Of course he didn't believe it, but he could understand. Sometimes, 2B (a person's name) had no choice but to act.

After Shen Ye finished his tea, A2 and the others cleaned up the room, and then, together with Yakoll, the group of six left the apartment.

Since their destination was a desert region, they needed to make thorough preparations before setting off. So Shen Ye took them to the commercial street of the rebel camp to resupply, buying a large amount of food, drinking water, and hemostatic gel.

Aside from hemostatic gel and other medical supplies, Shen Ye prepared his own food and drinking water. He couldn't go without food or water for long periods like an android. In critical moments, he only needed to recharge and bask in the sun to keep moving.

Although his storage space also contained a large amount of supplies.
