Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Humanoid Mechanical Lifeform
"So that's what it is."
After hearing Aiden's explanation, the androids all suddenly understood. They might not know what "sex" means, but they did understand what reproduction meant.
On the contrary, A2 at the side revealed yet another expression, 'So it turns out human reproduction is called going to bed! Going to bed... bed... then me and Aiden have been sleeping on the same bed these past few days, could it be also... no wonder Aiden was a bit nervous at first, so he thought…'
Thinking back to the expression Aiden showed when she invited him to sleep on the same bed at the time, A2 fell into thought.
However, she had clearly misunderstood. The actual situation was completely different from what she imagined, but she didn't speak her thoughts out loud, so Aiden naturally didn't know.
At this moment, 2B suddenly pointed at one of the mechanical lifeforms doing an indescribable act, and while reciting phrases like "breasts" and "like," asked, "Then the meaning of what it said, you also know?"
Aiden again awkwardly nodded, "I know."
"Explain, explain." 2B was filled with curiosity.
Not only her, even A2 and the others also revealed curious expressions.
Only Yakor was still somewhat shy, even covering her ears, thinking, "A proper lady shouldn't listen to these things."
"How should I put it, I have to think." Aiden pondered how to phrase it, but after thinking, still felt being straightforward was better, so he simply said, "Since they are imitating human reproductive behavior, it's equivalent to a man and a woman, and human females usually have certain special physiological traits, for example…"
At this point, Aiden's eyes instinctively glanced at 2B's chest. Although his build was very tall, and his clothes were also very loose, for the full-chested 2B, it couldn't cover her magnificence at all, and the taut clothes instead added a bit more allure.
"For example, the chest, just like you all." Aiden pulled 9S to the side, then pointed in a circle with his finger.
"And then?" Several female androids seemed to understand a little.
"Ahem, males usually like female breasts, especially... big ones." Aiden lightly coughed and said.
"But during the human era, generally speaking, a woman's chest is a very private part. Usually, only towards males she likes, would she let him look and touch... of course, that refers to when not wearing clothes. If there's no liking, then it's called peeking or molestation."
At this moment 2B suddenly said, "Then just now when we came down, you were staring at my chest the whole time, wouldn't that be called peeking?"
Aiden was stunned. He didn't expect 2B to understand so fast, but he still righteously said, "That's not called peeking, it was upright and aboveboard looking. And your clothes were torn at the time, I only saw it accidentally."
"But my clothes were torn by you." 2B frowned slightly, tone somewhat dissatisfied.
"That was also accidentally torn." Aiden continued to righteously say.
2B heard this and coldly glared at him, saying, "Anyway, what you did is called peeking, this was set by humans, so it must be enforced."
Aiden quickly explained, "I said it was accidental. Also, you said it was set by humans, but in the even more ancient human era, in some countries, if a woman was seen by a man, she had to marry him and be his girlfriend or wife. Do you want to enforce that too?"
2B, "..."
She still knew what "girlfriend" and "wife" meant.
While 2B was silent, A2's thoughts became a little chaotic. She recalled that during this period, not only had she been sleeping with Aiden, but seemed like a long time ago, she had already been seen fully by him.
'So… when he said back then he wanted me to be his wife, he was serious?' She recalled the conversation from when she first met Aiden.
Only, recalling how she didn't answer that time, she suddenly felt a bit of regret.
"Aiden, if you ask again, I'll definitely agree." She thought again.
"Alright, that's enough talking, let's investigate this place first." On the other side, listening to their conversation which was definitely not right, 9S spoke out to end this topic. After all, he had liked 2B from the first moment he saw her. But now, she was getting involved in private matters with another male android, and he suddenly felt a strong discomfort.
He didn't understand what this discomfort was, but he knew that if this conversation continued, he would definitely lose a lot, so he couldn't let it go on.
However, not long after he finished speaking, the mechanical lifeform they had previously hunted suddenly jumped out from a corner and made a sharp sound toward the surrounding mechanical lives.
"Enemy, invasion, kill, them."
Like a command, these words made the surrounding mechanical lives instantly enter combat mode. They stopped their "human" actions and launched an attack on Aiden and the others.
The battle started again.
Since this place seemed to be the nest of mechanical lives, the number of mechanical lives attacking them was dense and unknown.
Fortunately, everyone present was extremely powerful. No matter how many came, they were easily dealt with like chopping vegetables.
And Aiden had so far not even fired a single shot. Even now, facing so many mechanical lives, he only snapped his fingers, letting his temporary POD firepower transform into G3, Predator form, then ordered them to automatically attack the surrounding mechanical lives.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of mechanical lifeforms were eliminated by them. The ground was covered in broken limbs and wreckage, revealing the cruelty of battle.
As if feeling this wasn't a solution, after sacrificing yet another hundred mechanical lives, a series of incomprehensible sounds suddenly appeared above the circular building. Then, those mechanical lives stopped attacking and started climbing up the pillars around the structure, gradually forming a huge sphere.
"This is…"
Seeing the bizarre actions of the mechanical lives, A2 and the others became puzzled again, then everyone simultaneously looked at Aiden.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either." Aiden spread his hands and said.
But in truth, he understood. These mechanical lives were becoming a special mechanical life birthing space. They were about to "reproduce" the next generation.
Reproduction is a form of continuing life and civilization, but usually refers to humans and animals. As for mechanical lifeforms, they naturally have no reproductive capabilities, so their way of reproducing is more like creating life out of thin air.
Of course, saying "out of thin air" is also inaccurate, because that sphere in the air appeared to form a human structure Aiden had seen in high school biology class.
A womb.
Just as Aiden was recalling the plot and setting, the sphere suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light. Then, a crack appeared at the bottom of the sphere, slowly splitting open, and a large amount of colorless liquid flowed out.
Life had already been nurtured, the "amniotic fluid" had broken, it... was about to give birth.
Under the solemn gazes of everyone, accompanied by the flow of colorless liquid, a figure fell out of the sphere and landed in front of them.
A2 and the others were startled by this scene and hurriedly stepped back half a step. But when they clearly saw that it was a naked humanoid being, they all revealed surprised expressions.
"This is… an android?" 2B asked.
Aiden shook his head and said, "No, this guy is a mechanical lifeform."
"Mechanical lifeform? Impossible!" 9S cried out in shock, "He clearly looks like an android."
"He just looks like one." Aiden raised his gun, aimed at the humanoid mechanical lifeform, and the six G-3 Predators at his side surrounded it.
"Please wait a moment." 9S shouted, "No matter what, we should at least ask first…"
"Ask what, Aiden said it's a mechanical lifeform, then it is. Take this chance and kill it." A2 coldly glanced at 9S, drew her sword, and rushed up.
However, just as A2's sword was about to strike the humanoid mechanical lifeform, it suddenly raised its hand from the ground and directly gripped her blade.
"Impossible…" A2 was stunned, then a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she prepared to exert more force.
Not far behind her, Aiden suddenly shouted, "A2, retreat quickly!"
At the same time, he commanded the G-3 Predators to prepare to attack the humanoid mechanical lifeform.
A2, who already completely trusted Aiden, didn't hesitate and instantly withdrew her sword and retreated. Right at that moment, the humanoid mechanical lifeform's other hand also rose and fired a scorching beam at where she had just stood.
BOOM!
After the violent explosion, a deep pit appeared at A2's original position, with dust flying everywhere, causing the six G-3 Predators to lose their target.
At this moment, A2 had already retreated to Aiden's side. Looking at the smoke-filled spot, she patted her chest in lingering fear. Now, she had developed a bit of human-like behavior.
Aiden didn't notice her action, just looked serious. The current situation had started to diverge from the original plot.
"Ah ah ah… ah ah ah…"
While Aiden frowned and pondered, meaningless sounds came from within the smoke, sounding similar to the other mechanical lifeforms.
But Aiden knew, that humanoid mechanical lifeform was adjusting its speech system.
Sure enough, after emitting several unclear "ah ah ah" sounds, the humanoid mechanical lifeform gradually adapted its vocal system, and its pronunciation became clear.
"Androids… why… attack me? Why… fight?"
When this line was spoken, the smoke completely dissipated, and a snow-haired male humanoid mechanical lifeform appeared naked before everyone's eyes.
However, aside from Aiden and 9S, the other female androids simultaneously turned their heads away. At this moment, they recalled what Aiden had just told them… some things shouldn't be seen.
Seeing this scene, Aiden was instantly speechless, finally saying annoyed, "Hey, you all, what are you afraid of? He's not a human, nor an android, and he doesn't even have male features. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Since he put it that way, the female androids had no choice but to turn their heads back, but they still tried their best to keep their eyes on the upper half of the humanoid mechanical lifeform.
"Why attack me?" At this moment, the humanoid mechanical lifeform spoke again, and this time, his speech was astonishingly fluent.
"Because, you are a mechanical lifeform, the enemy of humanity." 2B slightly raised her head, speaking coldly.
"Enemy, huh." The humanoid mechanical lifeform made a thoughtful gesture.
But just then, Aiden and the others suddenly launched an attack on him.
With a snap of Aiden's fingers, the six Predator drones pounced and shot six scorching beams at him, while A2 and 2B, wielding long blades, slashed at him from four different directions.
"Danger… I need protection." Facing the group's attack, the humanoid mechanical lifeform muttered to itself, then raised its hand and pushed forward, causing a grid-shaped energy shield to appear around its body.
In front of the energy grid shield, all the beams from the six Predator drones were deflected, but against the close-range attacks from A2 and the others, it had no defensive effect at all. Four long blades instantly stabbed into his body.
However, as a being born from the mechanical life network, the humanoid mechanical lifeform had extremely strong vitality. The pierced areas bled red liquid similar to human blood, but he seemed to feel no pain, only wildly firing fireballs and beams to push A2 and the others back.
After nimbly dodging a round of attacks from the humanoid mechanical lifeform, A2 and the others charged up again. But this time, the humanoid mechanical lifeform no longer stood motionless. Instead, it mimicked their movements to evade their attacks.
"This guy… is evolving." A2 slashed into empty air, speaking in disbelief.
"And he's evolving very fast, almost every second he's evolving." 2B also noticed the humanoid mechanical lifeform's change, her voice growing colder. Such a humanoid mechanical lifeform that could constantly evolve was a terrifying enemy whether for humans or androids.
"So let's go all out, finish him in one go." 11B shouted, gripping her long blade with both hands. The blade gleamed brightly, and she slashed forward with unstoppable momentum.
However, her slash still missed.
To everyone's surprise, a light circle appeared beneath the humanoid mechanical lifeform's feet, and as a white light rose and enveloped his entire body, he actually vanished on the spot.
