NieR: Whirlpool

On the other side of the bridge, countless mechanical life forms were blocked because they were unable to move forward quickly due to the width of the bridge.

At the critical moment, someone resolutely detonated the bomb, destroyed the bridge, and died in the sea of fire together with the enemy.

Soon, the enemy retreated like the tide.

At this time, the leader of the resistance in this area, Anne Moore, stood quietly in the ruins, her eyes sweeping across the land where fierce fighting had once taken place.

Although her heart was filled with endless grief, she still gave the order calmly and firmly:

“Transport team and accompanying guards, you must ensure that the supplies are safely delivered to the camp and then return here as soon as possible.

The logistics personnel are responsible for cleaning up the weapons and equipment left on the battlefield, as well as the scattered enemy parts."

Her voice echoed in the wind with an unquestionable majesty.

Then, Annie Morning waved her arms vigorously and shouted:

"Everyone else, follow me! We are going to find and collect the remains of our comrades and give them their final rest here."

"action!"

Following her command, everyone took action.

They walked with heavy steps, shuttled between the ruins, and carefully searched every corner. Everyone was silent, but their hearts were filled with complex emotions.

They gently lifted the bodies of their comrades with their hands, feeling the heavy weight, as if they could feel their tenacity and bravery when they were alive.

Not long after, the people who were cleaning up the battlefield saw three people in black clothes running towards them not far away.

Who is that?" Someone raised his head and looked over there, asking his comrade beside him.

"We're one of us. Don't worry about it and just keep doing what you are doing." Someone reminded.

9S and his group walked through the battlefield filled with smoke.

For Ye Feng, he had never actually seen such a scene.

The ground was littered with parts of mechanical life forms, incomplete android corpses, and the painful groans of the wounded. The blood-like liquid almost formed a river.

Is this the cruelty of the battlefield? Ye Feng thought to himself.

"You are here to see Miss Annie, right?" Suddenly, a female voice as sweet as a silver bell came into my ears.

Ye Feng turned his head and saw a pair of beautiful twin androids asking them questions.

Popola!

They have bright red hair with a small white flower on their heads, wear yellow and white tight jackets, brown tight trousers, and brown leather combat boots.

But at this moment, each of them was carrying a large sack on their backs. The heavy bags made them unable to straighten their backs, and their originally beautiful faces were stained with sweat and dust.

Popola and Divara, twin androids.

In the 21st century, due to the rampant black salt disease, the human leaders proposed the Gestalt Plan, which is to separate the human body and soul and create artificial life forms, called the Morphology Plan.

In time, resurrection can be achieved by implanting human souls into artificial life forms.

Humans created twin artificial humans, Divara and Popola, to manage the gathering place of artificial life forms.

Later, serious changes occurred in the morphology plan, and people spread the word that the twin machines in a certain place were the culprit.

The Gestalt Project has completely failed. Humanity is on the verge of extinction. This is an established fact that cannot be reversed.

From then on, the twin models were no longer produced. Although the existing Divara-Popora models were not destroyed in a centralized manner, they were all implanted with a program that would always make them feel guilty.

The shadow of humanity's impending extinction hangs over everyone, and some emotionally broken androids insult and even kill the twin machines.

However, if it was the fault of the other twin models, what did it have to do with the ones in front of me?

The other twin android looked at Ye Feng with a dazed look in his eyes.

Then she pointed her finger at a figure in the distance, and her voice sounded as clear and melodious as a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

"Miss Anne is there."

"What are you talking about? Get to work!" At this time, an android warrior next to him shouted loudly.

"They're not the type of machine that can do manual labor. Why are you making things difficult for them?" 9S protested angrily.

"Because they are guilty," the resistance fighter replied.

"You should be the latest model of YoRHa. Miss Annie is over there. I'll take you to find her." After saying that, the resistance fighter took 9S, 2B and A2 and walked towards the direction where Annie was.

"I'm sorry, this is what we deserve." The twin sisters struggled to sort the sacks on their backs, and then continued to do the extremely physically demanding work.

Ye Feng had mixed feelings. He felt unfair to the two sisters but also admired the resistance army, but he was powerless to do anything at the moment.

……

"Hello, Miss Annie Morning." Looking at the determined female resistance leader in front of her, 2B extended her hand.

"You are, No. 2..."

Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Annie Morning recalled the past in a trance.

At that time, he was not yet the leader of the resistance.

That mission was the first time that YoRHa, the new decisive weapon of the Space Human Army, carried out an airborne operation.

Among the four machines that reached the ground, there was an innocent and energetic girl named No. 4.

But the battle situation was severe at the end and she should have died.

"Oh, you know us," 9S asked, confused.

"No, I just thought of an old friend whose whereabouts are unknown and we don't know whether he is alive or dead..." Annie Morning said, her voice gradually sinking.

"Don't worry, she will live well." Ye Feng, who was walking at the end of the team, thought of something and stepped forward to comfort her.

"Thank you." Anne nodded slightly and continued, "I received a message from the bunker and learned about your mission. I will provide you with assistance."

"But for now, we still have to clean up the battlefield."

"We can help." The three-member team said in unison.

......

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

After finally loading the last of the battlefield supplies onto the truck, 9S lay on the ground exhausted like a puddle of mud, gasping for breath:

"The higher-ups... asked us to... join... the resistance. Why... would we... do this kind of work?"

"What are you talking about? Isn't it my duty to help the Resistance?" 2B glanced at 9S and continued to work on her task.

At this time, Ye Feng had already completed his task. Seeing 9S's exhausted look, he walked over and handed him a cup of something:

"Senior, is the coolant running low? Would you like a glass of fat otaku happy water to refresh yourself?"

Using his free time, Ye Feng, who had just finished his work, prepared a cup of...

Yes, a glass of liquid.

The androids in this world don't need to eat, and YoRHa, which is powered by the black box, is extremely advanced and doesn't need to eat at all, not even extra water.

However, Ye Feng felt that such a life was too monotonous and boring, so he decided to try something fashionable and made a cup of happy water based on the collected materials.

Looking at the glass of "drink" in front of me that is bubbling and faintly glowing green,

9S's face showed a puzzled expression. He stood there indecisive, not reaching out to take the cup, mumbling to himself:

"Is this... drinkable?" 9S asked suspiciously. "9M, you're not trying to trick me, are you?"

"Of course." Ye Feng smiled and handed the cup forward again.

"Try?"

9S smacked his lips. The thirst caused by the rising temperature of the coolant in his body became more and more intense, and he could no longer bear it.

Finally, after a long period of thinking, 9S gritted his teeth, quickly reached out and snatched the cup from Ye Feng's hand.

"Try it!"

Then he tilted his head back and drank it in big gulps without hesitation.

"Tons, tons, tons...

Ah...so cool..."

9S sighed in satisfaction as the cool liquid slid down his throat and entered his body.

The comfortable feeling after his thirst was relieved made him relax completely. He smacked his lips, as if he was still savoring the wonderful taste just now.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded.

"Warning, 9S's body has been damaged by an unknown substance and is continuing to be damaged..." Pod 153 reported.

"Warning, radioactive tritium detected..."

"Warning, radioactive material uranium 235 detected..."

"9S! What happened to you?" 2B shouted in a panic, her voice full of worry and fear. She stared at 9S, who was falling to the ground, with her eyes wide open, and her heart was in a state of panic.

"9S-senpai, you're dead..."

9S, who was foaming at the mouth, used his last bit of strength to glare at Ye Feng fiercely before he fell down, and pointed his trembling finger straight at him. His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, as if he wanted to eat Ye Feng alive.

Ye Feng stepped forward and grabbed 9S's hand that was pointing at him.

"Assist unit, repair 9S immediately!"
