NieR: Whirlpool

In the Earth's satellite orbit, an ultra-large space station with a unique shape and a perfectly circular main structure is slowly rotating.

This mysterious building is the base of the YoRHa troops - the bunker.

From a distance, the bunker looks like a shining pearl, sparkling with dazzling light.

Its huge solar panels are arranged in an orderly manner, like a silver ocean, continuously absorbing energy from the sun.

At the same time, several brave androids were driving various aircrafts to perform important maintenance tasks outside the bunker. They flexibly shuttled through space, carefully inspected every component, and ensured the normal operation of the bunker.

As the orbital base of the 13th artificial satellite, the bunker shoulders the important mission of protecting the earth and mankind.

Many top artificial human scientists and warriors gathered here. They formed an elite force code-named "YoRHa" as the vanguard of the human army.

This force has advanced technological equipment and excellent combat capabilities, and its sole goal is to retake the Earth from aliens and mechanical life forms.

Of course, the true role of the YoRHa unit is known only to Commander YoRHa.

And this secret is a secret that can never be made public.

In the eyes of the android leaders, the YoRHa troops were nothing more than machines used to collect combat data. Once the data collection work was completed, they would open the backdoor reserved in the bunker server without hesitation and intentionally guide the machine lifeforms to launch an invasion.

The so-called "contribution" they made was merely to provide some data references for the subsequent research and development of artificial human bodies, so as to create more powerful new bodies to resist the threats of aliens and mechanical life forms.

What's even more top-secret is that all members of the YoRHa unit must face the fate of death, without exception.

Even Commander Yoshiha himself knew nothing about this more confidential information.

Ye Feng knew this information.

......

Inside the space station,

A girl in a black dress and with white hair slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something important, she sat up straight in a panic, and then ran outside without hesitation.

At the end of the corridor, the figure of a boy gradually emerged.

When he saw the girl running towards him, a happy smile appeared on his face and he greeted her enthusiastically.

Then, the boy started to talk non-stop:

"The operation was successful. The enemy's super-large weapons were destroyed. The enemy-controlled areas..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the girl. He only heard the girl call out the boy's name in a calm tone: "9S."

“Ah…” Upon hearing this, 9S immediately shut his mouth, his expression becoming somewhat awkward and at a loss.

At this time, the girl spoke again: "Thank you for uploading our data back to the base at the last minute." Her tone was still calm, but there was a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

After hearing this, 9S lowered his head slightly and said softly, "I'm sorry... I don't remember doing this."

He then looked up at 2B's face. "Maybe there wasn't much time left. It was only enough to back up your and 9M's memories. My memories only lasted until I reunited with you."

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, 2B's expressionless face suddenly showed a hint of emotion.

9S silently stretched out his left hand, put four fingers together, and clasped his palm tightly against his chest.

This is the unique way of saluting used by the YoRHa androids; they are not allowed to use the human way of saluting.

"May the glory of mankind last forever." 9S's voice was low and firm, as if carrying a heavy sense of mission.

2B saw what 9S did and slowly raised her hand to do the same thing. Her movements seemed a little stiff:

"May mankind...

...Glory be to you forever!"

9S and 2B pass each other at this moment, leaving 2B standing there.

She clenched her right fist involuntarily, with a complicated look in her eyes.

........

In the bunker command room,

A strong male voice on the radio:

In the year 5012 AD, the glorious history of mankind came to an end. Aliens from outer space suddenly launched an invasion and sent weapons called "mechanical life forms" to destroy human civilization. The few human survivors fled to the moon.

In 5204 AD, the satellite orbital bases began to counterattack using artificial humans. After more than a dozen large-scale airborne operations, they still failed to deal a decisive blow to the enemy. The purpose of your YoRHa (YorHa Force) is to break this stalemate. I hope you can play the role of the final decisive weapon.

May the glory of mankind last forever!

In the spacious and bright hall, a beautiful figure catches the eye.

She was wearing a white cheongsam that just reached her thighs, paired with a pair of high white stockings and golden high heels, making her look tall and elegant.

Her golden hair was combed into two buns on the left and right, and the long braids fell to her waist, adding a bit of mystery and nobility.

Her face was calm and composed, exuding the majesty of a superior. This woman was the commander of the YoRHa unit - White.

She was standing proudly with all the team members, looking intently at the big screen in the command room, where the daily speech from the Lunar Human Conference was playing.

As the sonorous male electronic voice sounded, all the members of the YoRHa unit stood up, clasped their left palms tightly in front of their chests, and shouted in unison:

“May the glory of mankind last forever!”

……

In room 9M,

Listening to the report from the public channel, Ye Feng sneered.

You can fool the young lady, but you can't fool me.

Humans have long been extinct. This information is just a false illusion created by you, the high-ranking artificial humans, to show that humans still exist.

For artificial humans created by humans, humans are the creator, the faith, and the gods.

Once the news of human extinction spreads, it will affect the morale of the resistance camp.

There have been many cases where artificial soldiers discovered the truth and escaped from the army.

To this end, the E-type machines, namely the Execute type, of each unit under the human military high-level subordinates are specifically responsible for killing those artificial humans who discover the truth or defect.

What did they do wrong!

In Ye Feng's eyes, they are more like humans.

But in the eyes of high-level artificial humans, they are just knives in their hands that can be made at will. Their life and death are meaningless. They are just machines.

I bother!

Once any object is born with intelligence, it can no longer be seen as just an object.

Life has meaning.

I beg you to stop the act of arbitrarily depriving people of their lives!

Thinking of this, Ye Feng moved his mind and entered the consciousness space:

"System, can I use the program to fill the server backdoor now?"

"An acceptable host."

"Will this be discovered by the Moon Server?"

"No, at the same time, I will set up a disguised server backdoor." The system was confident.

"repair."

"Okay.", "Connecting to the bunker server, please wait..."

After a long time,

"The backdoor has been successfully repaired and disguised." said the system.

"Well done!" Ye Feng couldn't help but feel happy.

This way, there will be no worries.

Then, he thought of the final boss in the game, the red-dressed girl N2, and asked:

"N2 is formed by the consciousness network of the enemy's mechanical life form. Can I fight her directly now?"

Ye Feng thought that it would be best to kill her now.

"Only by contacting the core server of the enemy network can we destroy it." The system thought for a moment and explained:

"According to the intelligence, the real body of the girl in red appeared in the server under Mount Kaala in Pearl Harbor, which is where the 2-member team of A16 was defeated."

Hearing this, Ye Feng thought of the setting in the story:

December 12th was the day when YoRHa's experimental machine launched its first battle, with the goal of destroying the mechanical lifeform server located thousands of meters underground in Pearl Harbor.

12 machines were shot down by enemy blocking forces during the airborne landing. Four YoRHa prototypes, including Unit-2, joined forces with the android resistance on the ground and finally achieved their goal.

But the losses were heavy, and only No. 2 was left from the prototype.

She should have been a hero, but what awaited her was not flowers, but endless pursuit by her former troops.

Bombs have already been installed in their bodies, which will detonate upon death, exerting their remaining value and perishing together with the enemy.

She shouldn't be alive. In the eyes of the top management, the prototype's existence is to verify the feasibility of the YoRHa machine.

The prototype had to be destroyed.

After experiencing betrayal from her superiors, she found a way to defuse the bomb in her body, and personally killed several YoRHa troops who came to execute her, avoiding repeated pursuit by enemy machine lifeforms.

Constantly replace broken parts on the body.

She was alone.

She is cold and ruthless to her enemies and shows no mercy to mechanical life forms.

She was named Traitor A2 - Attack Type 2 by the lunar human high-level officials.

"These hateful conspirators deserve to die!" Ye Feng cursed angrily.

"There must be N2's body data in the White Tower. According to my intelligence, the White Tower is located deep underground and cannot be detected by current means." The system continued to give a solution:

"Perhaps, we can try to find a new enemy server and connect to the mechanical life form network to solve it."

"We can only look for an opportunity." Ye Feng nodded and replied.

"By the way, system, you should have the data from the 21st century. Please help me write a few programs in case of emergency." Ye Feng asked.

"Ah... Can't you do it yourself?" The system was a little troubled by this request.

"Hehe, I trust you to do the job!" Ye Feng's eyes turned and a cunning look appeared.
