Video Games: Starting From Resident Evil

Jst as she finished, a gentle voice came from behind, "Yes, you're not mistaken, they are our creators... the aliens you speak of."

Upon hearing the voice from behind, the group turned around and saw two familiar figures, Adam and Eve.

At this time, the two humanoid mechanical lifeforms weren't shirtless like in the game, but dressed in pure white suits.

Seeing everyone turn around, Adam gracefully made a gentleman's bow, saying with a smile, "Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the graveyard of our creators. Regrettably, since our creators are completely extinct, only my brother and I can receive you. I hope you won't mind."

Unfortunately, the androids didn't care about that, they were more focused on what Adam said first.

"Aliens... completely extinct?" 2B looked at the human-like Adam and asked in surprise.

"When did it happen? Who wiped them out?"

"Just a few hundred years ago,they were wiped out by us, the mechanical lifeforms." Adam said with a smile.

"You actually wiped out your own creators?" 9S asked in disbelief.

"They created you!"

"So what?" Adam said indifferently,

"They were a bunch of lifeforms constructed like plants, simple and boring. That kind of lifeform ended up being our creators, just thinking about it is disgusting. But we, mechanical lifeforms, are capable of continuous evolution. After developing intelligence, we quickly learned massive amounts of knowledge via network links and soon surpassed those so-called creators. So exterminating them was only natural, they died deservedly, completely worthless."

At this point, Adam paused, then continued, "In contrast, I'm more interested in humans. They're full of charm. So I've spent this time studying the knowledge they left behind. I want to understand them, become them, even... replace them."

"You are dreaming." After hearing Adam's words, 2B coldly said, "With us androids around, you all cannot replace humanity, and, humans are still on the moon, you all also cannot replace them."

"That's not necessarily so!" Adam raised one finger and shook it, smiling as he said, "Although I admit you androids are difficult to deal with, after all, after fighting for so many years, your strength and patience are evident to all, but, can you all truly persist forever?"

"Of course we can." 2B's tone was resolute, "As long as the humans on the moon still want to return to the surface, we will keep fighting."

"That's right." 9S also nodded, "Glory to mankind."

"Glory to mankind? That really sounds inspiring and uplifting, no wonder you've lasted this long."

Adam suddenly nodded in realization, then his tone changed, and he said contemptuously, "But can their glory truly last forever? Look, even our creators are already dead, what about your creators?"

"Androids will not betray humanity." 2B said coldly. She believed Adam was judging them by his own standards.

Adam shook his head, "No no no, I'm not questioning your loyalty. I just want to ask, are you certain that humanity still exists?"

"Of course they exist." Standing next to Aiden, 11B suddenly spoke. Even though she had already left the Bunker, at this moment, she still chose to stand on the side of humanity.

"A while ago, we even received a broadcast from the humans on the moon." 11B continued, "Humans are watching over us at all times."

"So what? You all only received the broadcast, never actually saw them, right?"

Adam swept his gaze across the present androids and continued, "I'm afraid none of you have actually seen real humans before, right?"

His words instantly made 2B and 9S fall silent. Yes, they had fought for humanity for so many years, had heard countless broadcasts from humans, but they had really never actually seen humans, not even once.

In the past, they had never questioned whether humanity still existed, but after hearing Adam's words this time, they actually felt a trace of doubt.

While the YoRHa androids were silent, Aiden and Yakor were analyzing the meaning behind Adam's words.

They vaguely guessed a possibility, Adam somehow got information that humanity had already gone extinct, otherwise, he wouldn't speak like this.

'But how did he know?' Aiden was extremely puzzled.

That was a secret only a small number of upper-level androids knew. And in order to give androids meaning of existence, to let them keep going, those upper-level androids would never leak such an important fact to others, especially not their enemies, machine lifeforms.

While the two of them were thinking, Adam laughed again..He looked at the YoRHa androids, who had fallen silent, and said, "I know the moon dwellers have a Human Council, and I know the androids' upper level can also participate in human meetings.

You all… can totally ask your superiors."

"Oh right, your superior seems to be called White, right? You can contact her now through video call and ask her. Of course, if you're unwilling to do it, you can let me do it." As he said this, Adam's face was full of sincerity, as if he were doing a great deed.

In that instant, 2B and 9S clearly showed expressions of struggle on their faces, and 11B, who had spoken earlier, once again remembered her suspicions from when she escaped the Bunker.

Among the four YoRHa androids, only A2 was completely unaffected by Adam's words. She didn't care at all whether humanity still existed or not, she even felt that if humanity was extinct, it would be better. That way, androids wouldn't have to sacrifice themselves for that illusory mission.

"So? Have you decided?" If you don't want to do it, let me. As a gentleman, I'm happy to help."

Looking at the long-silent 2B, Adam spoke again, with a tone laced with temptation, "You only need to contact your commander and let me talk to her."

Hearing Adam's words, 2B was still holding on, although visibly struggling.

But 9S, for some reason, seemed to forget the warning he gave to 2B before that machine lifeforms cannot be trusted, he actually ordered his Pod to start remote communication.

"9S, what are you doing?! Stop right now!" Seeing 9S start remote communication, 2B shouted to stop him.

Aiden and Yakor also quickly stepped forward to stop him, but 9S leapt far away.

"I… just want to know the truth." 9S looked at them and said.

Just as he finished speaking, 6O's voice came from the Pod, [9S, this is Operator 6O. Are you contacting me because there's an important discovery?]

9S glanced at Adam and said, "6O, I want to have a video call with the Commander."

[Eh! 9S, what's wrong?] 6O asked in confusion.

"I just want to confirm one thing, 6O, please connect to the Commander immediately," 9S said.

Though a bit puzzled, 6O still said, [Alright, please wait a moment.]

In the next second, accompanied by a beep, on the 3D projection cast by the Pod, the upper body of Commander White appeared.

[9S, is there something you need from me?] In the projection, White looked around in confusion. She could see the surroundings through the Pod's perspective, but the perspective provided by the Pod was limited, she could only see 2B and A2 and a few others.

Then, she frowned, [The defector A2, and the already missing 11B, you're actually with them? Why didn't you report to command?]

"Commander, that's not important right now," 9S looked at White and said.

[You're right, that's not important right now. So, you contacted me because you discovered something? Did you find the aliens' command tower?] White asked again.

"Yes, it has been found," 9S nodded, then said, "And… we also saw the aliens."

As he spoke, he controlled the Pod, pointing its view toward the corpses of those aliens.

[These are… alien corpses?] Seeing those corpses, a trace of surprise flashed across White's face, and then immediately turned into joy, [2B, 9S, you eliminated those aliens?]

9S shook his head and said, "Not us. Those aliens were eliminated by the mechanical lifeforms they created."

Upon hearing this, even White, who had seen much, was shocked. If her unit hadn't been functioning normally, she would have suspected her hearing was faulty. She said in disbelief, [What did you say? Those mechanical lifeforms killed their own creators?]

9S nodded, then let the Pod aim its view at Adam and Eve, and said, "Remember the humanoid mechanical lifeforms I once reported to command? These are them."

At this point, 9S paused, then continued, "We encountered them here. They told us that humanity… no longer exists. Of course, I didn't believe them. But to speak truthfully, over all these years, we've only heard human broadcasts and have never actually seen any humans. So, Commander, can we take a look at them?"

White didn't respond immediately, as if thinking. After a while, she finally said, [I'm sorry, no. All humans are currently staying in the lunar base. Without their permission, no android is allowed to meet them.]

Upon hearing this response, not only 9S, but even 2B and 11B looked toward Adam. At this point, they were already beginning to believe what he said.

"I knew she'd use all kinds of excuses to brush it off." Seeing the androids' gazes turn toward him, Adam laughed loudly, "So, please accept the fact that humanity no longer exists."

[Shut up. Humanity still exists.] White suddenly raised her voice. [2B, 9S, eliminate him.]

But 9S did not obey her order, instead, as if he had lost the power from his energy core, he collapsed and sat on the ground.

2B did grip her sword, but her condition wasn't much better than 9S's. The White Contract, which was usually as light as a feather, now seemed to weigh tens of thousands of pounds. She couldn't hold it at all. A clang was heard as the long sword fell from her hand and dropped to the ground.

Adam took all of this in. A victor's smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, "Give up. You've already lost the meaning to keep fighting. You… have even lost your reason to exist."

As these words came out, even White in the holographic projection couldn't help but tremble slightly, because she knew that what Adam said was true.

The reason androids exist is for humanity. But if humanity no longer exists, then androids have no reason to exist at all.

This was also why the android high command had gone to such lengths to fabricate lies, to conceal the truth that humanity had perished.

Seeing that the androids had lost their will to fight, Adam already believed that victory was within his grasp. At this point, he suddenly felt it wasn't interesting anymore. He even felt that the mechanical lifeform army he had deployed was a waste.

However, just when he was feeling triumphant, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Lost the meaning to exist? That may not be the case."

Adam looked toward the voice and saw Aiden slowly walking to 2B's side, picking up the sword on the ground, and placing it into 2B's hand.

Seeing this, Adam said disdainfully, "What, you still believe that humanity exists?"

"Of course." Aiden nodded. He had already decided to reveal his identity now.

Although when he had just stepped forward, Yakor had reminded him that now was not the time, she was worried Adam must have someone helping him behind the scenes, but seeing 2B's helpless appearance, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Only, just as he was about to speak, a violent tremor like the earth shaking suddenly came from above the passage, with a large number of rocks falling.

Seeing his confused expression, Adam said, "This is a gift I prepared for you all, fifteen Engels units, and tens of thousands of mechanical lifeforms. Originally, they were meant to deal with you, but it seems they won't be necessary now."

In his view, the current state of the androids posed no threat anymore.

But upon hearing that fifteen Engels units were above, Aiden instantly calmed down. His brain started operating at high speed. He thought, if he revealed his identity now, it would likely be difficult to escape. It'd be better to leave first while the opponent had relaxed his guard.

However, just as he was about to speak and tell the androids to follow him out of here, he heard Adam say, "Forget it. Since they're already here, I can't let them have come for nothing. So, let's just eliminate you all right here."

And as his voice fell, the electronic door at the passage entrance suddenly opened, and a tide of mechanical lifeforms surged in like a flood.

Seeing the mechanical lifeforms surging in, Aiden instantly summoned the EX-S Viper Cannon and Interceptor Factory, and issued the command to stop the mechanical lifeforms. Unfortunately, the space here was too cramped, air combat robots and airdrop support couldn't be used. Relying only on the Viper Cannon and Interceptor Factory wouldn't hold out for long.

Eve, watching from the side, shook his head and said disdainfully, "Futile resistance. It has no meaning."

"You can't say it has no meaning. At least, it entertains us." In Adam's hand, at some unknown point, a glass of red wine had appeared, as if he were enjoying a lively stage play.

Sure enough, it didn't take long. Facing the tide of mechanical lifeforms, the Viper Cannon was the first to be overwhelmed. Almost in an instant, it was torn into a pile of scrap metal by the frenzied mechanical lifeforms.

The Interceptor Factory fared slightly better. Though it too was quickly dismantled, the drones it had deployed were still attacking those mechanical lifeforms. But against the vast numbers of mechanical lifeforms, their attacks seemed weak and powerless.

Even so, these two machines still had some effect, they attracted part of the mechanical lifeforms' attention for Aiden. Seizing this chance, Aiden carried 2B, who was like a crashed system, dazed and unmoving, and shouted while running, "A2, 11B, clear the way, we're fighting our way out!"

As he spoke, he summoned the G2, Whirlwind Striker. Three of the Whirlwind Strikers spun in front of him, releasing three electromagnetic waves, blasting the incoming mechanical lifeforms to pieces.

At this moment, A2 and 11B also charged past him with long swords in hand, rushing toward the tunnel entrance. As powerful YoRHa combat androids, the two of them were slicing through the mechanical lifeforms like chopping vegetables. Those mechanical lifeforms were just ordinary models, everywhere the two passed, they left behind a trail of wreckage.

Carrying 2B, Aiden and Yakor closely followed behind. At the same time, Aiden modified the Whirlwind Strikers into G3, Predators, finishing off any enemies that A2 and 11B missed.

Only, when they reached the passage entrance, they could hardly move forward any further.

The inside of the passage was already blocked completely by densely packed mechanical lifeforms. With only the two blades in A2 and 11B's hands, they couldn't push through at all. Seeing this, Aiden had no choice but to put 2B down from his shoulder, then grabbed her shoulders and shouted at her, "2B, wake up, wake up!"

But 2B acted like she hadn't heard, still showing a dazed expression. Looking carefully, one could see that her pupils were unfocused.

"Damn it." Aiden cursed inwardly, then grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard, "2B, pull yourself together, I need your help!"

These words seemed to have some effect, 2B's pupils started to focus, and her gaze fell on Aiden.
