Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

“You’re dreaming.” After hearing Adam’s words, 2B said coldly, “With us androids around, you can’t replace humans. Besides, humans are still on the moon, so you can’t replace them either.”

"That's not necessarily true!" Adam raised a finger and shook it, smiling as he said, "While I admit that you androids are difficult to deal with—after all, you've been fighting for so many years, and your strength and patience are undeniable—can you really keep going like this forever?"

“Of course.” 2B’s tone was firm: “As long as the humans on the moon want to return to Earth, we will continue to fight.”

“That’s right.” 9S nodded as well: “May the glory of mankind endure forever.”

"May the glory of mankind endure forever? That does sound astonishing and inspiring, no wonder you've persisted for so long." Adam nodded in realization, then his tone shifted to one of disdain, "But can their glory truly endure forever? Look, even our creator is dead, and what about yours?"

“Animals will not betray humanity,” 2B said coldly, believing that Adam was judging others by his own standards.

Adam shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't doubt your loyalty. I just want to ask, are you sure that humanity still exists?"

“Of course it exists.” 11B, standing next to Shen Ye, suddenly spoke up. Even though she had already left the bunker, she still chose to stand on the side of humanity at this moment.

“We recently received a broadcast from humans on the moon,” 11B continued. “Humans are watching us all the time.”

"So what? You only heard the broadcast, and you've never actually seen them, have you?" Adam scanned the androids present and continued, "I'm afraid none of you have ever actually seen a human being, have you?"

His words instantly silenced 2B and 9S. Yes, they had fought for humanity for so many years and heard countless broadcasts from humans, but they had never actually seen a human, not even once.

They had never doubted the existence of humankind before, but after hearing Adam's words, they were actually shaken.

While the YoRHa team's androids remained silent, Shen Ye and Yako were analyzing the meaning behind Adam's words. They vaguely guessed that Adam had somehow obtained information that humanity was extinct, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

But how did he know?

Shen Ye was very puzzled. That was a secret known only to a few high-ranking androids. In order for the androids to have a reason to exist and to continue, those high-ranking androids would not tell such important information to others, especially their enemies, mechanical life forms.

As they were pondering, Adam laughed again. He looked at the silent YoRHa androids and said, “I know the Lunarians have a human council, and I also know that the high-ranking androids can participate in human meetings. You… can ask your superiors. By the way, your superior’s name is White, right? You can contact her via video now and ask her. Of course, if you don’t want to do that, you can leave it to me.”

Adam spoke with a sincere expression, as if he were doing something incredibly good.

In an instant, 2B and 9S showed obvious signs of struggle, and 11B, who had just spoken, recalled the suspicions he had when they escaped the bunker.

Of the four YoRHa androids, only A2 was completely unconcerned about Adam's words. She didn't care whether humanity still existed or not, and even thought it would be better if humanity were extinct, so that the androids wouldn't have to sacrifice themselves for that vague and unrealistic mission.

"Well? Have you thought it through? If you don't want to do it, I can do it. As a gentleman, I'd be happy to help." Looking at 2B who had been silent for a long time, Adam spoke again, and his tone carried a hint of seduction, "You just need to contact your commander and let me speak with her."

Listening to Adam's words, 2B was alright. Although she was still struggling, she could still hold back. But 9S didn't know what was going on. He seemed to have forgotten what he had told 2B before that mechanical life forms were not trustworthy. He actually ordered his auxiliary machine to start remote communication.

"9S, what are you doing? Stop it!" 2B shouted, trying to stop 9S when he saw him activate remote communication.

Shen Ye and Yako also rushed forward to try to stop him, but he jumped away from them.

"I just want to know the truth," 9S said, looking at them.

Just as he finished speaking, 6O's voice came from the auxiliary unit: "Ha, 9S, this is Communications Officer 6O. Contact me now, is there some major discovery?"

9S glanced at Adam and said, "6O, I need to have a video call with the commander."

……

(Working overtime again... It's so noisy in the office, I can't concentrate...)

Chapter 297! The Meaning of the Existence of Artificial Humans

……

"Hey! 9S, what's wrong?" 6O asked, puzzled.

“I just want to confirm one thing, 6O, please connect me to the commander immediately,” 9S said.

Although 6O was somewhat puzzled, he still said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

The next second, with a beep, the upper body of Commander White appeared on the 3D projection of the auxiliary machine.

"9S, what do you need me for?" In the projection, White looked around in confusion. She could see the surrounding situation through the auxiliary machine's perspective, but the perspective provided by the auxiliary machine was limited, and she could only see 2B and A2.

Then she frowned: "You were with defector A2 and the missing 11B? Why didn't you report this to headquarters?"

“Commander, none of that matters right now,” 9S said, looking at White.

“Yeah, that’s not important right now. So, did you contact me because you discovered something? Did you find the aliens’ command tower?” White asked again.

“Yes, we’ve found it.” 9S nodded and continued, “And… we also saw aliens.”

As he spoke, he controlled the auxiliary machine, directing the view towards the corpses of those aliens.

"These are... alien corpses?" A look of surprise flashed across White's face when he saw the corpses, but it quickly turned into delight: "2B, 9S, you guys took care of those aliens?"

9S shook his head and said, "It wasn't us. Those aliens were killed by the mechanical life forms they created."

Hearing this, even the well-informed White was astonished. If her machine hadn't been functioning perfectly, she would have doubted her hearing. She said incredulously, "What did you say? Those mechanical lifeforms killed their creator?"

9S nodded, then directed the auxiliary unit to focus its view on Adam and Eve, saying, "Remember the humanoid mechanical lifeforms I reported to headquarters? These are them."

At this point, 9S paused for a moment, then continued, "We encountered them here, and they told us that humans no longer exist. Of course, I don't believe them, but come to think of it, we've only heard human broadcasts all these years and haven't actually seen any humans. So, Commander, may we take a look at them?"

White didn't answer immediately, seemingly thinking. After a while, she said, "I'm sorry, no, the humans are all staying at the lunar base right now. No android can see them without their permission."

Upon hearing this answer, not only 9S, but also 2B and 11B looked at Adam. At this moment, they were beginning to believe his words.

“I knew she’d make up some excuse.” Seeing the android looking at him, Adam laughed loudly: “So, please accept the fact that humanity no longer exists.”

"Shut up, humanity still exists." White suddenly raised his voice. "2B, 9S, take him down."

But 9S did not obey her orders. Instead, he slumped to the ground as if he had lost the power source of the reactor.

2B managed to grip the sword, but her condition wasn't much better than 9S's. The White Contract, which was usually as light as a feather, now felt as heavy as ten thousand pounds, and she couldn't hold it at all. With a clang, the long sword slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

Adam saw all of this, and a victor's smile appeared on his lips: "Give up. You have lost the meaning to continue fighting. You have even lost the meaning of existence."

Upon hearing this, White in the 3D projection couldn't help but tremble, because she knew that Adam was telling the truth.

The purpose of androids is for the sake of humanity, but if humanity ceases to exist, then androids have no purpose at all.

This is why these high-ranking artificial humans spare no effort in fabricating lies and concealing the fact that humanity has become extinct.

Seeing that the androids had lost their fighting spirit, Adam felt that victory was in his grasp. At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was meaningless and even felt that the deployed army of mechanical life forms was a waste.

However, just as he was feeling smug, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Lost its meaning of existence? Not necessarily."

Adam looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shen Ye slowly walk to 2B's side, pick up the knife from the ground, and place it in 2B's hand.

Seeing this, Adam said disdainfully, "What, you still believe that humanity still exists?"

“Of course.” Shen Ye nodded; he was now ready to reveal his identity.

Although when he stepped forward, Jacques reminded him that it wasn't the right time yet, and she was worried that Adam must have someone helping him, he felt a little sorry for 2B when he saw her helpless appearance.

Just as he was about to speak, a tremendous tremor suddenly shook the passageway from above, and a large amount of rubble fell down.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Adam said, "This is a gift I prepared for you: fifteen Engels and tens of thousands of mechanical lifeforms. It was originally intended to deal with you, but it seems we won't need it now."

The current state of the androids no longer poses a threat to him.

Upon hearing that there were fifteen Engels above, Shen Ye instantly calmed down and his brain started working at high speed. He thought that if he revealed his identity now, it would be difficult to escape. It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the other party had lowered their guard and leave this place first.

But just as he was about to speak and tell the androids to leave with him, he heard Adam say, "Fine, since they've all come, we can't let them make a wasted trip. So, let's just kill you all here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the electronic door at the entrance of the passage suddenly opened, and a large number of mechanical life forms surged in like a tide.

……

(The next few chapters will reveal his identity, followed by a small climax and a grand scene. Also, these chapters are too brief, almost glossed over. I originally planned for at least five chapters, but I condensed them into two...)

Chapter 298! Charge Out!

……

Seeing the mechanical lifeforms surging in, Shen Ye instantly summoned the EX-S Viper Cannon and the Interceptor Factory, and issued the order to block the mechanical lifeforms. Unfortunately, the space here was too small and cramped, and the air combat robots and airdrop support could not be used. The Viper Cannon and the Interceptor Factory alone could not hold them off for long.

Eve, who was watching from the sidelines, shook her head and said disdainfully, "A futile resistance, it's meaningless."

"It's not that it's meaningless; at least, it can please us." Adam had a glass of red wine in his hand, as if he were watching a lively stage play.

Sure enough, not long after, facing the surging tide of mechanical lifeforms, Viper Cannon was the first to be submerged, and almost instantly, it was torn into a pile of scrap metal by the berserk mechanical lifeforms.

The interceptor factory fared slightly better. Although it was quickly dismantled, the drones it released continued to attack the mechanical lifeforms. However, their attacks were utterly ineffective against the sheer number of mechanical lifeforms.

However, the two machines did play a role. They attracted the attention of some mechanical lifeforms to Shen Ye. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Ye picked up 2B, which seemed to be frozen in place, and shouted as he ran, "A2, 11B, clear the way, let's fight our way out."

As he spoke, he summoned G2-Thunderbolt. The three Thunderbolts spinning in front of him emitted three waves of electricity, blasting the oncoming mechanical lifeforms into dust.

At that moment, A2 and 11B, wielding long swords, rushed past him and toward the entrance of the passage. As powerful YoRHa combat-type androids, they slashed at the mechanical lifeforms blocking their way with ease. These mechanical lifeforms were just ordinary models, and wherever they went, they left behind a pile of debris.

Shen Ye and Yako, carrying 2B, followed closely behind them. At the same time, Shen Ye modified Thunderer into G3-Predator to kill the enemies they had missed.

However, once they reached the entrance to the passage, it became very difficult for them to advance any further.

The passage was completely blocked by a dense mass of mechanical lifeforms. A2 and 11B couldn't move them with just their two knives. Seeing this, Shen Ye had no choice but to put 2B off his shoulder and then grab her shoulders and yell at her, "2B, wake up, wake up!"

But 2B acted as if she hadn't heard anything, still looking dazed. If you looked closely, you could even see that her pupils were unfocused.

"Damn it." Shen Ye cursed inwardly, then grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently: "Idiot, pull yourself together, I need your help."

These words seemed to have some effect; 2B's pupils began to focus, and her gaze fell on Shen Ye.
