NieR: Whirlpool

bunker,

A large red warning appeared on all the electronic screens of the YoRHa unit:

ALIEN!

"This is an alien signal response that has not appeared in hundreds of years."

Commander White was shocked, but soon regained his composure and issued an order:

"Detect the location of the signal transmission source."

"Understood. The approximate coordinates have been obtained." The intelligence officer replied.

"Which team is the closest?"

"2B's three-man team," the intelligence officer said. "All other members of the nearby teams died in the battle in the ruined city."

"Okay, turn on the communication."

"Commander White to 2B, 9S, 9M.

We have discovered alien reactions that have never been captured in hundreds of years. You should know that the aliens are the headquarters of mechanical creatures. As long as we annihilate the aliens, we can end this long war.

Now that we have captured the approximate coordinates, I order you three to prioritize searching for information related to this mission.

We must not miss this good opportunity.

May the glory of mankind last forever."

Communication is interrupted.

……

The ruined city,

9S said lazily, "Commander-sama, you really know how to order people around."

Hearing this, 2B responded, "As a commander, you must have such decisiveness."

9S shrugged helplessly, accepting this fact.

Then he said, "Okay, based on the coordinates inferred by the headquarters, I have roughly determined the location of the target. Come with me."

"Six!" Ye Feng couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed.

9S puffed out his chest with pride and declared confidently, "Of course. Who is the most outstanding model in the YoRHa? Our Scanners are the best!"

"Tsk tsk..." 2B looked at 9S who was walking in front of her with disdain and a look of disgust.

Not long after, the three arrived near the explosion point.

The scene that unfolded before them was shocking—a shambles and a huge hole in the ground.

The pit is about 100 meters in diameter and has an average depth of about 10 meters. It is obviously the trace left by Engels' self-explosion a few hours ago.

All the buildings within a radius of several kilometers were devastated by the shock wave and were shattered into pieces, forming a large open space.

"Oh my god, this is so powerful!" Ye Feng smacked his lips and then ordered,

"Auxiliary machine, check the radiation content."

"Report, no radioactive phenomena detected." Assist 154 reported.

Hearing this, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately, with such a huge mushroom cloud just now, I thought there was a mushroom bomb hidden in this big guy."

"It's right at the bottom of the pit. We need to move forward." 9S said, running forward and gracefully jumping down into the deep pit.

Ye Feng and 2B looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This 9S is really curious!

Several people searched in the intricate pit and soon found an underground cave.

Looking down, it seems bottomless.

“This couldn’t have been caused by an explosion.” 9S analyzed as he looked at the black hole-like cave.

"It must have been here for a long time," 2B replied.

"It won't collapse, right?" Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Let's just go down and take a look," 2B suggested.

"2B, you're still as reckless as ever." 9S laughed.

The auxiliary machine carrying the three people slowly floated downwards.

After descending more than 300 meters, they finally reached the bottom of the cave and found an entrance.

The entrance was dimly lit, giving it an eerie feel.

The few of them could only rely on the weak lighting provided by the auxiliary machine and move forward cautiously.

The cave was filled with a strong damp smell and the ground was covered with sewage. If you were not careful, you might trip or slip.

"These machine lifeforms must have been around for quite a while," 2B said, pointing at the unrecognizable, rusted parts on both sides.

These body parts that once belonged to mechanical life forms are now almost unrecognizable from their former appearance.

"Why are there these things here? The place ahead is where the aliens will react the most."

9S said as he quickly hacked into the mechanism of a rusty door.

The three of them walked forward, not knowing how far they had walked, but they opened several closed doors one after another.

Finally, after opening a door, a strange and unprecedented scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

The entire space exudes a faint blue light and has a strong metallic texture.

Various electronic devices were placed in the spacious hall, and a faint "beeping" sound could be heard from the devices.

"Where exactly is this place?"

All of this was both amazing and mysterious, leaving everyone in deep thought.

The three shocked people woke up from their trance and began to look for clues carefully.

Suddenly, a series of sounds of air pumps working were heard in the space, and then dozens of hibernation capsules on one side of the hall slowly opened their covers.

"This is..." 2B's eyes widened, she was completely shocked.

"Fuck me!"

9S and Ye Feng were also frightened by the scene before them.

Inside the hibernation capsule lay the bodies of gigantic creatures, all dark brown in color, with round heads, huge mouths, and huge eyes tightly closed.

Below the huge head is a relatively small torso, and the lower body is a bunch of tentacles.

"Aliens..." Ye Feng, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was also shocked.

As an outstanding young person of the 21st century, how could I have seen such a thing with my own eyes?

"...'s body." 9S continued, equally incredulous.

the other side of the hall,

Suddenly there was a sharp metallic friction sound.

As the sound grew louder, the iron shutter door began to rise slowly, making a creaking sound.

When the rolling shutter door is fully raised, transparent glass appears before everyone's eyes.

Through the glass, they saw an amazing sight.

In the huge underground space, there are many strange-looking alien spaceships parked.

The hulls of these spacecraft were covered with cracks and damage, and it was obvious that they had suffered serious damage.

In the huge underground space, there are many alien spaceships, and their broken bodies prove that they have been destroyed.

"This is the destroyed alien mothership and escort ships." 2B's voice was filled with strong disbelief.

9S's face was filled with shock. He stared at what he saw with wide eyes in disbelief.

"It is said that the aliens who attacked the earth were eventually defeated by our artificial human army and only had one flagship left. Could this be it?" He muttered to himself, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

This huge underground space was supposed to be an alien base, but now it has become a ruin.

The wreckage of the spacecraft was scattered everywhere, as if telling of the fierce battle that had once taken place.

The three of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought, imagining the thrilling war scene.

Even Ye Feng, who had a God's perspective, looked embarrassed.

After seeing this scene, he truly realized the power of mechanical life forms.

He looked at 2B, then at 9S, and glanced at the three auxiliary machines.

Finally, his eyes fell on the pure white contract in his hand.

"Let me use these weapons to deal with them..." He muttered to himself, his voice almost inaudible.

2B seemed to notice something and turned his gaze towards Ye Feng who was in a daze.

"hehe……

Can't win at all?

I don’t understand!”

Ye Feng murmured in a low voice, saying this very classic line.

His original intention was to make fun of himself.

Compared with the male protagonist who said this line, I have nothing except an unreliable system.

I really want an Ultraman Belia experience card!

Ye Feng raised his head silently and howled to the sky in his heart.

But when 2B heard Ye Feng's words, he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

"9M..." 2B walked forward slowly, preparing to say something to comfort Ye Feng.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the space.

"Welcome to the place where my creator, the alien, fell."
