Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Upon hearing the commander mention the factory, White immediately straightened his back and sat up straight, replying, "We dismantled part of the factory on the orbital base, some of which were transported to the moon, and some were brought back to the surface. It may take a long time on the moon, but the factory on the surface, without external interference, can be in mass production in a little over a month with our current efficiency."

"This morning I sent people to investigate the ruined factory. Although we only received responses from some people, most of them were good news. Many parts in that factory can be used directly after being outsourced, so we can start several production lines at the same time. As for the unusable parts, we can also remelt them and reuse them, which can save a lot of time in collecting materials."

After listening to White's words, Shen Ye nodded, and was also amazed by the efficiency of the androids, which was much better than that of humans.

Of course, it's also due to technological limitations. No matter how bad the android technology is, it can't beat aliens. But that's just a matter of production volume. Some technologies can already be called magic. So he had no doubt that White said the factory could be built and several production lines could start operating at the same time in just over a month.

Thinking of the future army of androids, Shen Ye said with a smile, "As long as your numbers increase, mechanical life forms will be nothing to fear."

It's important to know that androids are far more powerful than most mechanical lifeforms. Being able to take on a hundred enemies at once isn't something only YoRHa mobile suits can do; ordinary combat-type androids are also very strong.

However, at this moment, Yakoll suddenly leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear, and then he frowned and muttered, "That is indeed a big problem that needs to be focused on, but... it is actually easy to solve."

Yakoll told him about the backdoor left in Base 13, which he was of course aware of, and it was easy to solve. All that was needed was to back up the androids' data again, and then have White send people to create several independent databases and conduct regular data checks to reduce data synchronization and uploading. That way, the androids would not be infected by the logic virus.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye immediately explained to White that after hearing that the base's database had been hacked and might be infected with a logic virus, White immediately contacted other high-ranking artificial humans, but she never considered why he knew. She unconditionally believed everything Shen Ye said.

……

(There will be another chapter later, which deals with issues related to the base database and has been slightly modified.)

Chapter 315! Pardon

……

Although White notified the other high-ranking androids, it would take some time to establish a new database without any backdoors. However, it was very simple to notify all androids to back up their own data and reduce data synchronization uploads. Soon, a broadcast titled "Protecting Yourself Is Protecting the Commander" was sent to all androids via the public communication channel.

Regardless of what the androids who received the broadcast notification were thinking, after resting for a while, Shen Ye decided to go back. He had been out for a long time, and it was almost noon, so it was time to go back for lunch.

"Alright, we've rested enough, let's go back." Shen Ye covered his eyes with his hand and got up from the ground. Yako also quickly stood up and carefully brushed the dust off his back.

"No need, I'm going to take a shower when I get back." After exercising for so long and sweating a lot, he felt a little sticky.

Yakoll nodded and obediently stopped. Then, he and White followed Shen Ye to where they had parked.

Before setting off, White notified the androids patrolling nearby. They ran from all directions and arrived at the parking spot before Shen Ye and the other two got into the car.

Before long, the convoy of four vehicles returned to the rebel camp. After saying goodbye to the reluctant White, Shen Ye and Yako returned to their apartment.

The apartment was bustling with activity. Besides A2 and 2B who were guarding the place, the twin sisters had also arrived. The five android girls chatted as they prepared lunch. When they saw Shen Ye and Yako push the door open and enter, they all looked towards the doorway.

"Shen, you're back." Upon seeing Shen Ye, A2 immediately stood up to greet him, while 2B, seeing this, could only retract the leg that had just stepped out.

Hugging A2 as she lunged at him, Shen Ye kissed her forehead, ignoring the twins' surprised looks, and patted her shapely bottom, saying, "Get me some clothes ready, I need to take a shower."

A2 immediately turned and ran into the bedroom. Shen Ye turned around and greeted the twin sisters again before heading towards the bathroom. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly remembered something about the twin sisters, so he turned back to 2B and said, "2B, use the auxiliary machine to contact White and ask her to find a way to remove the programs from Devialet and Popola's bodies. Also, send out a notice saying that I have pardoned their crimes."

“Okay.” 2B nodded.

After glancing at the twin sisters who were almost in tears, Shen Ye then went into the bathroom.

When Shen Ye came out after taking a shower, the food was already on the table. To his surprise, the lunch was unusually plentiful. He even saw several dishes that looked like Chinese food, which must have been the work of the twin sisters. However, perhaps the seasonings were not rich enough, so the taste was a bit lacking, but Shen Ye still enjoyed the meal.

After lunch, Shen Ye planned to take a nap as usual. There was no other way; there were no entertainment activities in this world, and the daytime was much harder to endure than the night. At night, he could do some activities that made him feel happy, although... he could do them during the day too.

However, he quickly remembered something. In the morning, White had a lot of things from the lunar human base brought over, including game consoles and televisions. They were placed in the corner of the living room, since there was no furniture in the living room except for a sofa, and there was no place to put them.

Curious, Shen Ye found the television and game console and tried turning them on. He was disappointed afterward. Both machines worked normally and had their own power supply, so they didn't need to be plugged in. However, after turning them on, he found that the images projected by the television were all entertainment-related content, recorded around 3000 years into human history. He watched for a while and found that he couldn't understand it at all and had no idea what the jokes were.

So he put the TV back and picked up the game console. This so-called game console was quite high-tech; it was actually a headgear-like device. Curious, he put it on, and then, in a flash, his consciousness entered a virtual space. However, it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything. Just as he was wondering what was going on, a synthesized electronic voice sounded in his ears: "Server not found, unable to enter the game, exit..."

Okay, it's actually connected to the internet.

Disappointed, Shen Ye took off the game console and threw it next to the TV. But then, as if remembering something, he quickly picked it up again and muttered to himself, "This thing seems to use virtual reality technology. I'll keep it. I'll ask White to find a way to set up a separate server for me so I can have some fun."

This is a virtual reality system, the kind of device he dreamed of when he was playing games.

However, there are no games to play right now, so he can only go back to his afternoon nap.

Not long after lying in bed, A2 came over. She had just seen off the twin sisters and then helped Shen Ye wash his dirty clothes with 11B, which took a little time.

Seeing A2 take off her maid outfit, Shen Ye hugged her tightly, then rested his head on her chest and slowly closed his eyes.

"Hmm, this is much softer than Jakob's..." he thought to himself.

He was probably really tired, because Shen Ye slept until evening. Soon after he got up, it was dinner time again, which made him feel like he was being fed like a pig, with nothing to do but sleep and eat.

Fortunately, he couldn't gain weight with his current digestive capacity, but even so, after a hearty meal, he still planned to take a walk in the camp.

This time, 2B was with him. Yako and A2 originally wanted to come along, but he refused. He spent most of the day with other women. He wanted to spend some time alone with 2B. When he came back at noon, he carefully observed 2B's little actions.

……

(Let's progress through the story while pursuing the female characters, otherwise it'll be too slow.)

Chapter 316! Emotional Value

…………

It was already past 8 p.m. when Shen Ye and 2B went out. Although they were in a desert area, it still got dark quickly. After all, the environment here was caused by war, not by the climate.

Although it had gotten dark, the streets of the camp were brightly lit, with countless lighting devices illuminating the camp as if it were daytime.

Besides Shen Ye and 2B, there were also busy androids on the street, working around the clock to renovate the camp. The lighting equipment was prepared to facilitate their work.

The reason they worked day and night to improve the camp was to make the environment better and more convenient for Shen Ye to live in, a fact that Shen Ye himself was aware of.

"They really have worked hard."

The thought that these androids had to work so hard just because he refused to go to the lunar human base made him feel ashamed, but at the same time he empathized with them, knowing how hard the workers worked.

2B, who was standing close to him and whose eyes never left him, shook her head slightly when she heard his words: "They don't feel tired at all. On the contrary, they feel that it is an honor. Serving the Commander is something they dream of. Countless androids envy them! Not just any android can participate in the construction of the camp. After all, they are very close to you in the camp. So no matter how hard the work is, they will only feel happy."

"Your words make it sound like I'm a capitalist and they're just working people enjoying the 'blessing' of 996 work schedules." 2B's words made Shen Ye feel uneasy and even more guilty.

After a pause, Shen Ye looked at 2B and said, "So you must be very happy now."

After saying this, Shen Ye felt that he was asking a question he already knew the answer to. 2B's gaze never left him, and the smile on her face hadn't left since she left the house.

“Of course.” 2B nodded vigorously, then looked around and continued, “I not only feel happy, but also very lucky to have met you so early and fought alongside you. This is a past that even the commander would envy.”

As she said this, 2B's expression turned slightly smug. She had heard other androids express their envy when talking about this on public channels more than once.

"In that case, let others envy you even more." Looking at 2B's somewhat vain expression, Shen Ye smiled. Even androids need emotional value feedback.

Remembering how she had no chance at home with A2 and Yako, Shen Ye felt he needed to offer 2B some emotional support. So, under countless envious gazes, he hugged 2B and whispered, "Do you know what to do next?"

2B blinked, and after a while it dawned on her, she immediately offered her red lips...

When she got home, 2B seemed drunk and dazed, as if she hadn't yet recovered from the immense happiness and vanity. It wasn't until Shen Ye let go of her hand that she came to her senses. After glancing at Shen Ye, who was yawning as he entered the room, she went to 11B's sleeping spot and sat down, telling her about what had happened that night as if she were showing off. Naturally, she received a lot of envious comments in return.

Hearing the whispers coming from outside, Shen Ye noticed the look 11B was giving him and couldn't help but sigh again. He knew he would probably have to go out again tomorrow.

……

Nowadays, Shen Ye no longer needs to participate in battles or camp construction. His most important task now is to provide various emotional values ​​for the androids, and then occasionally show his face, give speeches, and encourage the androids to work hard.

This made him feel more like a capitalist.

But he quickly got used to his new identity and the comfortable life that came with it, living a life where food was served to him and clothes were put on him without lifting a finger, so happy that he didn't want to leave.

However, as time went by, the camp was gradually improved and the construction of the android factory came to an end, and he had more and more things to consider.

Finally, after nearly a month, the first artificial human factory was completed, almost half a month ahead of schedule.

Once the factory was built, Shen Ye, as the commander of the androids, naturally went to take a look. He then gave a speech, which earned him countless admiring glances and enthusiastic cheers.

Several more days passed, and Shen Ye became increasingly busy. During these days, the Artificial Human Command held several meetings, mostly about the counterattack against mechanical life forms. Although he didn't need to make any statements or do anything else, and simply sat at the head of the conference table, he still felt mentally exhausted.

Meetings were his greatest hatred in life, but even with his subordinates all being androids, he still couldn't escape the torment of meetings.

Today, it's another summary meeting. Shen Ye is still sitting in the head seat, and White is still sitting next to her.

He tapped his fingers on the conference table out of boredom. Although it was very impolite, no one said anything to him. In fact, someone kindly asked him if he wanted a cloth to put on the conference table, as if they were worried that his fingers would hurt from tapping.

"The first batch of androids has passed the acceptance test. All indicators meet the standards of the YoRHa model. Once the core is installed and the data is implanted, it can start normally."

"The new database has been completed, with the best firewall system in place and no backdoors left. We can now consider transferring the data."

"A new central control system has also been built. In the future, android data will no longer need to be uploaded to the bunker or other orbital bases; it can be uploaded directly to the central control system."

"Yesterday, the dozen or so android combat squadrons we dispatched cleared out a large number of mechanical life tribes, recaptured three large mining areas and several small mechanical life factories. Those factories were well preserved and only needed simple modifications to be put into use. However, they can only produce older models of androids and cannot produce the YoRHa model."

"The lunar factory is also in its final stages and is expected to be operational in a week..."

Because it was a debriefing meeting, the android executives were all talking about their work progress, and it all sounded like things were going well and the situation was very promising.

After the last android executive finished speaking, Shen Ye was so bored he wanted to sleep. However, he still tried his best to sit up straight, because he still had to maintain his image in front of the androids.

However, the androids don't care.

…………

(A lot of plot was cut, and many main and side quests in the game were not written, but now it seems that it is unnecessary to write them.)

(Actually, I left a plot hole earlier, but this world has been going on for too long, so I plan to fill it in next time. Anyway, it's in the same universe as the NieR world.)

(Also, I wonder what everyone thinks of the "broken shoe" thing? If you have any opinions, then I won't fill that plot hole for now, so you can probably guess which world that plot hole is going to be about, right?)
