Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

“But how did they know we were coming?” Jakoll recalled the timeline, then frowned.

"I don't know, but I have a guess. This is probably a trap. Engels' appearance was to lure us here," Shen Ye said.

Yakoll was puzzled: "But they are no match for us. This is suicidal."

"That's hard to say." Shen Ye shook his head: "You saw those tidal waves of mechanical lifeforms just now. They must have obtained the authority to control those mechanical lifeforms, otherwise there's no way to explain why there are so many mechanical lifeforms here."

“In that case, let’s retreat after we’ve taken care of that Engels machine.” Yakoll glanced at the Engels machine, which was badly damaged and on the verge of collapse from the onslaught.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Don't forget what's under your feet." Shen Ye stomped his foot on the ground, reminding Yakoll.

Upon hearing her reminder, Jakob glanced at 2B again and nodded, saying, "That's right, once that thing comes out, they definitely won't leave."

She then sighed, "They know it's a trap, but they have no choice but to jump in. They... have become smarter."

"So from now on, we can only take it one step at a time." As he said this, a bitter smile appeared on Shen Ye's face.

As the two were talking, Engels, who was being attacked by the YoRHa androids, let out a sound like a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground with a loud crash amidst the ear-piercing sound of metal scraping.

"Enemy large mechanical weapon confirmed, all functions disabled." 2B said coldly as she swung her sword down.

However, just as she finished speaking, Engels' power furnace suddenly restarted, and then, to everyone's puzzled gaze, it began to emit strong electric currents.

"Retreat quickly, it's about to self-destruct."

Upon seeing this, Shen Ye shouted.

However, since they entered the city on foot without any vehicles, and time was running out, Shen Ye had no choice but to command the aerial combat robots to block the androids.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the aerial combat robot was blasted into a pile of scrap metal. Shen Ye and the androids, who were hiding behind it, were not seriously injured, but were still blown dozens of meters away by the shockwave.

When Shen Ye got up from the ground and looked at the spot where Engels had self-destructed, there was a crater nearly a hundred meters wide.

……

(Chapter Two will be later...)

Chapter 295! The Creator of Mechanical Life

(Okay, actually I went to a dinner party and just got back.)

……

Looking at the deep pit, the androids were all amazed by the power of the mechanical weapon's self-destruction, while Shen Ye sighed that the technology of the human era was truly amazing. Even after thousands of years, its sewers and water supply systems were still intact and could still drain and supply water normally.

Of course, that's not the main point of interest. The key point is that an underground passage has been discovered at the bottom of the deep pit.

Then Shen Ye and Yako looked at 2B and the others, and just as they looked over, 2B and 9S's auxiliary units suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light.

"Red alert...beep...danger signal detected...highest level clearance, already reported to bunker command."

Looking at the signal from the auxiliary unit, 9S stared in disbelief and said, "This...this is...a signal from aliens detected? How is this possible?"

As a cyborg created only in recent years, this was the first time he had seen a signal from aliens. If his core hadn't been so excellent, he probably would have crashed on the spot.

Similarly, the other YoRHa androids also looked incredulous; to them, aliens were practically a legend.

Meanwhile, the bunker on the track.

Inside the bunker's command center, urgent alarms blared incessantly, while the androids in the command center hurriedly sat down in their seats, their eyes glued to the screens in front of them.

"This... how is this possible? Aliens who haven't appeared for hundreds of years have actually... actually appeared, and right here in the underground of the ruined city..." Bunker Commander White stared at the notification on the screen with a solemn expression, her wide-open eyes revealing her shock.

Although androids don't need oxygen, she still took a deep breath, trying to calm the suddenly accelerated core power reactor. Then, she calmed down and said to the communications officer beside her, "Connect to the YoRHa units on the ground. I want to communicate with them directly."

"Understood, Commander," the communications officer replied immediately.

On the surface of Blue Star, in ruins, lies a city.

Just as the YoRHa androids were somewhat bewildered by the sudden appearance of alien signals, Commander White's voice came from 2B's auxiliary unit.

"I am Commander White. I am issuing the highest order: I command all YoRHa squad members on the surface to immediately investigate the exact location of the signal."

"Note that the aliens are the creators of mechanical life. Destroying them will end this long war. So please don't miss this opportunity."

"Furthermore, this mission has the highest priority. All members of the YoRHa Squad must do their utmost to complete this mission... Everyone, victory is within reach... May the glory of humanity endure forever..."

……

"Top priority... Headquarters' response was really fast!"

After listening to the commander's voice, 9S sighed.

2B nodded: "After all, they are aliens. Apart from humans on the moon, there is probably nothing that would concern headquarters more."

She then added, "9S, can you pinpoint the specific source of the signal?"

“Based on the signal response, I’ve already marked the location on the shared map. It should be… inside the passage below,” 9S said as he walked to the edge of the pit and looked down.

“In that case… let’s go down and take a look.” 2B said, then looked at Shen Ye: “This matter concerns the victory of this war, and I need your help.”

Shen Ye nodded. At this point, he certainly wouldn't refuse, and even if he did, 2B and 9S would go down anyway.

He didn't care what would happen to 9S, but he cared about 2B, and recalling his earlier speculation, he felt that this matter wouldn't be as simple as the game's plot.

"Thank you." Seeing Shen Ye nod, 2B smiled at him, then turned and jumped into the deep pit.

Shen Ye and the others followed closely behind. After landing at the bottom of the deep pit, they found themselves in front of a deep, dark underground passage.

Without any command, the auxiliary units of 2B and 9S turned on their lights, illuminating a distance of about ten meters ahead.

Guided by the lights, the group walked deeper into the winding underground passage...

……

Shortly after Shen Ye and his group entered the tunnel, Adam and Eve appeared at the edge of the pit. Eve excitedly said to Adam, "Brother, they've already gone in. Let's go in now."

“Don’t rush, my brother, let’s wait until they see our Creator,” Adam said with a smile, then a string of complex code flashed in his eyes.

Just after this string of code disappeared, the mechanical life forms in the ruined city received the assembly command almost simultaneously, and then surged towards the location of the deep pit like a tide.

Meanwhile, in the river outside the ruined city, more than ten large mechanical weapons, led by Engels, slowly walked towards the ruined city with heavy steps.

……

Deep inside the underground passage.

After spending more than ten minutes, the group arrived at the end of the underground passage.

After passing through three electronic doors, they entered a space filled with science fiction elements.

Every corner of this space emanates a faint blue light, making those within it feel as if they are in another world.

"This looks like a hibernation room."

After walking along the passage to a disc-shaped platform, A2 looked at the instruments that looked like hibernation pods placed around her and said in a low voice.

As if to confirm her statement, a series of exhaust sounds rang out in the space as soon as she finished speaking. Then, everyone saw the devices around the disc, which looked like hibernation pods, slowly open.

"This is……"

When the hibernation pod was opened, everyone, including Shen Ye, was shocked by the creature inside.

Inside each of those hibernation pods lay a gigantic biological body. They were entirely brown, had a terrifying appearance, and some limbs that resembled plant roots.

"It looks really ugly." Shen Ye frowned. The limbs, which resembled plant roots, reminded him of tentacles.

"They are ugly, but they seem to be dead?" A2 mustered her courage and took a step forward. She did not sense any life response, so they were obviously dead beyond dead.

2B took a step forward, looked at them carefully for a while, and then asked in confusion, "So, who are they? Could they be aliens?"

Chapter 296! Shaking

……

Just after she finished speaking, a gentle voice came from behind her:

"Yes, you are not mistaken, they are our creators... the aliens you speak of."

Hearing the voices behind them, everyone turned around and saw that the newcomers were their acquaintances, Adam and Eve.

At this moment, the two humanoid mechanical lifeforms were not shirtless as in the game, but were dressed in pure white suits. Seeing them turn around, Adam elegantly gave a gentlemanly bow and said, "Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the graveyard of our creator. I'm sorry, since our creator has been completely wiped out, only my brother and I can receive you. I hope you don't mind."

Unfortunately, the androids didn't care about that; they were more concerned with what Adam had said at the beginning.

"Are all the aliens... extinct?" 2B asked, looking at the human-like Adam.

When did this happen? Who wiped them out?

“Just a few hundred years ago, they were wiped out by us mechanical lifeforms,” Adam said with a smile.

"You actually exterminated your own creator?" 9S looked on in disbelief.

"They created you!"

"So what?" Adam said nonchalantly. "They are just a group of simple and boring creatures with structures as simple as plants. It is disgusting to think that such creatures have become our creators. We mechanical life forms can continuously evolve. After developing intelligence, we can learn a lot of knowledge in a short time on the network machine and quickly surpass these so-called creators. Therefore, it is only natural to exterminate them. They are not worth dying for and have no value whatsoever."

Adam paused at this point, then continued, "I am more interested in humans. They are fascinating, so I have been studying the knowledge they left behind. I want to understand them, become like them, and even... replace them."
