NieR: Whirlpool

The atmosphere in the spacious and bright command room was extremely solemn.

2B, 9S, and Ye Feng stood upright with serious expressions on their faces.

Opposite them, the calm and composed woman was YoRHa's commander, White.

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. After scanning the three capable men in front of her, she spoke:

"Several scouts we sent to Shinjuku suddenly lost contact and have not been heard from since. You are tasked with an important mission this time and must parachute behind enemy lines to conduct operations.

The specific tasks are as follows:

First, get in touch with the local ground resistance and fight together;

Second, conduct an in-depth investigation of the abandoned city and its surrounding areas to obtain as much key intelligence as possible from the enemy;

Third, we must find out the truth behind the scout’s disappearance.”

"understand!"

As soon as the words fell, the three of them answered in unison, their voices sonorous and powerful, revealing their firm determination and confidence.

……

The three of them, flying the HO229 fighter jet, cut through the sky like a flash of lightning, breaking through the enemy's pursuit and blockade that were like a tide, passing through the thick clouds, and finally gradually reached the surface.

The scene in front of me slowly came into view. This was a once prosperous coastal city, but now it had become a desolate ruin.

A large number of abandoned high-rise buildings are like giant beasts eroded by time, full of holes and in tatters;

The steel forest has also become rusty, as if telling the story of its past glory and present desolation.

The area that was supposed to be a city actually had a lot of towering trees growing in it. These giant trees required ten people to hug together. They were towering into the clouds, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The damaged road surface is covered with dense grass. The vitality of the vegetation forms a sharp contrast with the disappearance of human civilization, which makes people feel sad.

They could not choose to land directly at the target location for fear of exposing the location of the resistance.

So, the three of them drove the fighter plane and carefully looked for a suitable landing point. Finally, they selected an abandoned building with more than ten floors as the landing point and successfully landed the fighter plane on the roof.

Afterwards, they quickly released the fighter's combined state, and the fighter spewed out blue flames and quickly returned to the sky like a flying bird.

"System, humans have been extinct for 8000 years, why are there still so many tall buildings on the earth?" Ye Feng's mind moved, and he asked silently in his heart.

He felt very strange.

Although the high-rise building is abandoned and crumbling, it does not look like it has been there for thousands of years.

For example, the 21 years from the 4000st century to the present were the Xia and Shang dynasties. The history of that time cannot be examined and can only be traced back to archaeology.

"The human military leaders have been creating the illusion that humans still exist. Prior to this, the artificial human forces on the ground had special engineering teams responsible for building cities and facilities. Once the enemy was defeated and humans returned, there would be ready-made places to live," the system explained.

"I see."

Ye Feng felt a little indignant!

The revolution has not yet worked hard, comrades still need to succeed!

Suddenly, he seemed to understand that building facilities for human habitation could also create the illusion of human existence. Although this wasted some productivity, the upper echelons focused on maintaining stability.

After exiting the consciousness space, I looked at the large ruined buildings in the distance. They were all ownerless. If this was before the time travel...

There are tens of millions of houses in Guangzhou, and there are ten million houses in Guangzhou.

Only ten million for one room, and it’s as stable as a mountain despite wind and rain!

At this moment, I received a communication.

Ding ding,

"This is Communications Officer 21O calling 9S, 9M. Can you read me?" The auxiliary machine projected a communication interface with 21O's image clearly displayed on it.

"Yes." 9S replied smartly.

"The 3D map data has been sent to your terminal, and the target has been displayed on the map."

"Thank you." Ye Feng responded politely.

"You're welcome. Please complete the mission as soon as possible, unite with the resistance and integrate with them." 21O said seriously.

"Understood!" the two replied in unison.

At this moment, 9S suddenly interrupted, "Ms. 21O, you look very beautiful today."

"Thank you," 21O replied with a smile.

“So…” 9S seemed to want to say something else, but before he could finish his words, there was a “click” and the communication interface was instantly closed.

9S was left speechless and disheveled in the wind.

“Just hung up my comms like that…” 9S stood there, the wind ruffling his hair, his heart filled with loss.

"Let's go find the resistance." 2B's voice broke the silence and she turned and walked forward.

Ye Feng and 9S quickly followed.

2B walked to the edge of a tall building and jumped without hesitation.

"2B!", 9S shouted worriedly, leaving Ye Feng behind, and hurried to the side, leaning out to look down.

All I saw was that the auxiliary machine 042's small hands tightly hooked 2B's left hand, and then slowly carried her down.

“Oh my god, I’m so scared. 2B, please stop doing anything rash… Aaaahhh!” 9S suddenly stumbled forward, lost his balance, and fell straight down.

"Go away!"

Ye Feng behind him has hidden his merits and fame.

"9M I'm a**&……*……%*&." 9S cursed, and Pod 153 grabbed 9S at the same time.

Sure enough it's okay!

Ye Feng pondered, then leaped up, stretched out his right hand, and firmly grasped the small mechanical arm of auxiliary machine 154. His movements were smooth and graceful, and he landed slowly on the ground.

However, this beautiful scene did not last long and soon became less elegant.

At this moment, 9S, who was standing on the ground, was staring at him fiercely, his eyes full of hostility, like a mad tabby cat, ready to pounce on him and beat him up.

"Senior, be gentle...

There... you can’t..."

There was clearly a hint of fear and pleading in Ye Feng's voice.

……

The Resistance,

Ten thousand years ago, humans began to create artificial humans, and in the following thousands of years, humans and early artificial humans produced large quantities of artificial humans.

As aliens invaded the Earth, the war situation deteriorated. Except for those who escaped to the surface of the moon and the Earth's satellite orbital space station, a large number of robots remained on Earth.

They formed a ground resistance force. They had backward equipment and poor logistical supplies. They used old AK series rifles, STG44 rifles, RPGs and other equipment that were nearly years outdated.

But they never stopped fighting, always trying to take back the Earth.

They will carry out operations together with the human army under the cooperation of the Lunar Human Conference.

The Human Parliament never provided them with any support or help, whether it was soldiers, logistical supplies, or even a spare part.

They dragged their severely aging bodies,

Some of them have been fighting for thousands of years, and their comrades around them have been replaced batch after batch, just like the spare parts in their bodies, which are almost no longer original from the factory and have to be replaced batch after batch.

Life is endless, and the battle is endless.

But in the eyes of the human military leaders, their battles were meaningless, and so was life and death.

"What a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites!" Ye Feng cursed inwardly and looked up at the sky.

One of their missions in this operation is to unite the ground resistance forces.

Since we are all in the android camp, why do we need to unite?

This one sentence exposed the fact that the human military leaders never regarded them as their own.

The purpose of the alliance is to let the resistance army charge forward and serve as cannon fodder.

But they had no choice. Their only remaining homes were occupied and they had nowhere else to go.

"Maybe I can try to save them," Ye Feng thought.

Suddenly, explosions were heard from a distant place. The three people looked at each other and exchanged glances quickly.

go!
