Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

……

Soon, it was proven that the mechanical lifeforms were quite reliable in terms of maintenance.

As the group jumped onto the roller coaster, the situation that Shen Ye had worried about—the coaster collapsing due to the weight—did not occur, and the roller coaster steadily drove away from the platform.

Since they had just left the platform and were still climbing, the roller coaster wasn't going very fast, but Shen Ye still reminded everyone, "Everyone, hold on tight, or you'll get thrown out."

In fact, he knew very well that with the weight and balance of an artificial human, it was impossible for him to be thrown off. His statement was merely a manifestation of human thinking.

"Don't worry, at this speed, there's no way they can shake us off," said 11B behind him.

The other androids nodded in unison, and 9S asked curiously, "You just said that humans ride these things for thrills, but it doesn't seem like they feel anything."

"That's because you're artificial humans. Compared to you, humans are far too fragile," Shen Ye said helplessly.

Just as he was speaking, the roller coaster had already climbed to the top, and as the front of the car cleared the first slope, its speed suddenly increased several times.

This acceleration nearly caused the previously unsuspecting androids to lose their footing, their bodies swaying violently several times.

Even so, they didn't have much of an emotional reaction to the androids, only marveling that these things were actually quite fun.

However, after the roller coaster passed several steep inclines, some flying mechanical lifeforms wandering nearby noticed them and surrounded them, launching an attack...

……

On the other side of the amusement park, the humanoid mechanical lifeforms, the brothers Adam and Eve, were strolling along a road filled with mechanical beings. Wherever they passed, the almost mindless mechanical beings retreated to the sides of the road, as if making way for a king on a tour.

Born from his brother's body, Eve was much more lively and curious about the amusement park rides around her. She turned to Adam, who was reading a book, and asked, "Brother, is this the amusement park of human times?"

"Yes, this is a place that brings joy to humankind," Adam said without looking up. The joyful scene around him was not as appealing to him as the knowledge in his books.

“Happiness…is it like that?” Eve pointed to the mechanical life forms around her, who were dancing and shouting happiness.

Adam did not answer, because he was looking at the last page of the book in his hand. After he finished reading that page, he closed the book, casually tossed it aside, and then said, "What do they know about happiness? They are just a bunch of mindless, low-level creatures, acting unconsciously under the influence of some emotion."

“Then…brother, do you know what happiness is?” Eve asked again.

"What is happiness..." Adam pondered for a long time, then slowly shook his head: "I don't know what happiness is either, but we can try it out and experience what happiness is."

At this point, the two brothers walked up to a large building.

Adam looked up and discovered that the building was actually an opera house, and faint, aria-like singing could be heard coming from inside.

Adam raised an eyebrow thoughtfully, then said, "The book says that humans seek sensory and spiritual pleasure in opera houses. Now, little brother, I'll take you to experience it."

……

On the other side, although Shen Ye and the others had dealt with the mechanical lifeforms that were besieging them, the roller coaster they were riding was damaged and lost power due to the fierce battle, and finally slowly came to a stop next to the top of a huge building.

Looking at the building in front of him, Shen Ye didn't know whether to call it a coincidence or fate. The roller coaster stopped right above the opera house in the amusement park.

Just then, 9S's auxiliary unit issued a timely notification: "An artificial human signal has been detected inside the building below."

"Looks like we're in luck." 9S glanced down and saw a large hole at the top of the building, so he jumped down.

Shen Ye and the others then jumped down and landed on the ceiling, where they found 9S making a listening gesture.

"It sounds like someone is singing," 2B said after listening intently for a while.

“Not only that.” A2 shook his head. “I think I also heard conversations.”

Hearing A2 say this, Shen Ye and Yako were both a little surprised. They both thought at the same time, how is this possible? Are there still artificial humans living inside?

Fortunately, 11B asked the question for them: "Is there some kind of communication? Is it the missing androids?"

“It doesn’t seem so.” 2B also heard the conversation below, and then she made a shushing gesture.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

At this point, they could all hear the conversations coming from below.

"Brother, this guy not only sings terribly, but he's also really ugly!"

However, after those words were spoken, a sharp scream rang out.

“You…you actually said Simone de Beauvoir was ugly…unforgivable…you…unforgivable…”

“Sauvoir is so beautiful…so beautiful…Sauvoir wants to kill you all…to make you her decorations…to make Beauvoir…even more beautiful…”

Then, a violent explosion was heard below, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place.

The people on the ceiling looked somewhat bewildered, even Shen Ye and Yako looked completely confused.

Finally, Shen Ye spoke up, "Let's go down and take a look."

After saying that, he was the first to smash through the glass ceiling and jump down, he was so curious about what was happening down there.

Seeing him jump, A2 and 11B, worried about his safety, followed suit and jumped down as well, with the three landing almost simultaneously.

Then, they saw the humanoid mechanical lifeforms, Adam and Eve, who had escaped a few days earlier, fighting against a mechanical lifeform several meters tall, wearing a red dress and adorned with the remains of androids and mechanical lifeforms. They were somewhat stunned.

Jakob and 2B jumped down as well, and were stunned for a moment when they saw what was happening.

"This is... a civil war between machine lifeforms?" After a long while, 2B murmured.

……

Chapter 285! Pascal

……

A civil war among machine lifeforms is a rare occurrence for androids; even A2 has never witnessed such a scene.

The androids stared in disbelief for a moment, when 9S suddenly realized this was an opportunity and immediately said, "Let's take advantage of their infighting and wipe them all out in one go."

These words resonated with the androids. Not only 2B, but also A2 and 11B drew their weapons. Although they had both defected from the bunker, the idea that machine lifeforms were the androids' mortal enemies, just like the human race, was deeply ingrained in their underlying logic.

Seeing that they looked ready to fight, Shen Ye shook his head, thinking to himself that combat-type androids were still inferior to humans in terms of thinking, being too simple-minded. He then reached out to stop them, saying, "If you intervene now, you will likely be surrounded and attacked, or get caught in the melee. It's better to wait until they have decided who is the victor before making a move. That way, you can obtain the greatest benefit with the least cost. There is an idiom in humans that describes this: 'When the crane and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.'"

The artificial beings naturally didn't understand what the idiom was, nor could they comprehend the idiom, but they could understand the meaning of what Shen Ye had said earlier, and found it to be very reasonable, so they retreated.

Even 11B looked at him with admiration: "Shen, you know so much." This made Shen Ye feel embarrassed.

While the group was talking, the battle between the special mechanical life form calling itself Simone de Beauvoir and the Adam and Eve brothers had reached a fever pitch. They used all sorts of combat skills as if they didn't care about resources, leaving the entire opera house in a mess.

Although Adam and Eve were special mechanical life forms, they had only been awakened for a short time and did not have a deep understanding of how to fight. Even though it was two against one, they were at a disadvantage and could only barely parry Simone de Beauvoir's fierce attacks. They had no chance to counterattack.

As the battle intensified, the brothers began to consider retreating, but Simone de Beauvoir's attacks were relentless, leaving them no time to teleport and forcing them to focus on defense.

To be honest, their true strength is not weak at all. Apart from being able to teleport using the mechanical life network, their actual combat ability is almost the same as that of the YoRHa androids.

That's precisely why they couldn't defeat Simone de Beauvoir, because in the game, even the YoRHa androids were no match for her.

During a lull in the fighting, Simone de Beauvoir finally grew impatient and let out a piercing scream.

In an instant, countless crosses fell from the sky, instantly covering the entire floor of the opera house.

Above those crosses were androids bound with steel cables. These androids came in all types, including the YoRHa model. It seemed that these androids had been tortured before they died, with their outer bionic skin completely ripped off and their internal bones covered in scars.

This scene made 2B and 9S grit their teeth and clench their fists.

Before Shen Ye could stop them, 2B and 9S angrily launched an attack on Simone de Beauvoir. Wielding long swords, the two swung their blades under the cover of the support unit.

However, their participation did not bring about an overwhelming outcome. Instead, it gave Adam and Eve a chance to catch their breath. While Simone de Beauvoir's attention was on 2B and 9S, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

"Homunculi, I will thank you for your help." Adam waved his hand and unleashed a ball of fire, destroying the homunculus corpses emitting interference signals. Then, he took Eve's hand, and the two of them vanished into the opera house as a streak of light.

"They should learn how to control their emotions," Shen Ye said helplessly as he watched his humanoid mechanical life form brothers disappear.

But he knew now was not the time to complain. As he spoke, he pointed at the special mechanical life form Simone de Beauvoir, and the temporary auxiliary firepower transformed into the G-3 Predator form, quickly surrounding her.

Behind him, A2 and 11B also made their move, wielding long knives and attacking Simone de Beauvoir.

In the face of righteous superiority, Simone de Beauvoir, already injured, could only hold out for a few minutes before being stabbed through the core reactor by 2B.

After the core power reactor, which was like a heart, was pierced, Simone de Beauvoir completely lost the ability to resist. After letting out a mournful cry, her body exploded and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Her voice still echoed in the opera house: "In the end... I still took my beautiful final bow."

……

After dealing with Simone de Beauvoir, 2B and 9S gradually calmed down. Looking at Shen Ye's helpless expression, they realized what a wrong choice they had just made.

"I'm sorry." For some reason, 2B felt a little guilty and immediately apologized.

9S, who was standing to the side, quickly reflected on his impulsiveness, but Shen Ye ignored him.

"Forget it, what's done is done, there's no point in saying anything more."

Shen Ye glanced at Simone de Beauvoir's body, then turned and walked out of the opera house. A2, 11B, and Jacques followed behind him in silence.

“Shen…” 2B thought he was angry and quickly followed him.

But in fact, Shen Ye wasn't angry. He always had a good temper, and he just felt a little regretful.

However, he also knew that even if Adam and Eve fought Simone de Beauvoir to a standstill, they would not be able to kill the brothers now, because the brothers could use the mechanical life network to resurrect themselves.

2B, however, was unaware of this and kept explaining her previous behavior to him. Shen Ye remained silent, but her actions made A2 and the others a little nervous.

They left the opera house, and the outside world was already bathed in sunlight. Unbeknownst to them, they had spent the entire night in the ruins of the amusement park.

After Shen Ye came out of the opera house, he stopped moving. A mechanical life form holding a white flag appeared in his line of sight.

The mechanical life form hovered in mid-air with unusually green eyes. Upon seeing Shen Ye and the others emerge, it immediately flew forward a short distance, alerting A2 and 11B.
