NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 187 The Pursuers Arrive Again

"They're all dead..."

The village was still burning, and not a single one of the thousands of villagers was left alive. The ground was littered with parts, debris, and damaged cores...

Looking at the tragic scene before her, she could no longer stand and stepped back.

The man supported her and said comfortingly:

"We have tried our best!"

"I'm fine!" She shook her head desperately.

"Assistive device, guess the cause!" Ye Feng ordered. He had already reminded Pascal, but the scene before him didn't seem that simple.

"Report: Confirmed to be a logic virus infection. Hypothesis: The source of infection is the four-legged mechanical lifeforms in the amusement park." Pod 153 reported.

"this!!"

A2 was shocked. She had killed this mechanical life form with her own hands, but...

"Report: The virus has long been dormant and has nothing to do with A2." Assist 042 reported at the right time.

She raised her head sadly, looked at the auxiliary machine 042, and said sadly: "I didn't expect that you would comfort people. You are still a good guy..."

dong dong dong~

There was a rapid knock on the door.

The two were startled and came to the metal door of a house.

The door was equipped with an electronic lock, and lying at the doorway were the remains of a mechanical life form, which had been bitten beyond human form.

"Is anyone there? Open the door quickly? Someone help me open the door!!"

An extremely anxious female mechanical voice came from behind the door.

Ye Feng stretched out his hand and placed it on the door lock.

Hacking!

After easily cracking the door lock, the door was pushed open.

The mechanical creature leaning against the door fell against it.

It didn't move much, but looked around quickly.

Suddenly, it noticed a pile of debris at the door and pounced on it like crazy, roaring in pain:

"Son! Ah~~~~"

"My son~~~"

"Son~~~"

Looking at the scene before them, they both felt mixed emotions.

I don’t know how to comfort the mechanical mother who lost her son.

"Report: This mechanical mother has communicated with 9S, and the mechanical son has a high talent for hacking." Pod 153 reported.

"Speculation: The child locked his mother in the room, and then the child was eaten by the zombie villagers." Assist 042 reported.

Before the two had time to think, they heard a voice.

Keng~

Looking at it together,

The mechanical mother took out a sharp weapon and stabbed it hard into her core area.

"don't want!!!"

A2 reached out his hand to try to stop this from happening.

Phew~

The mechanical mother slowly fell to the ground and died holding the remains of her son on the ground.

"this!!!"

Ye Feng stood there in a daze. At this moment, he felt extremely sad.

Without having time to feel too sad, A2 remembered something and opened the communication again.

Ding ding,

"Pascal? Can you hear me?"

"Hey, Miss A2, Pascal's anxious voice came: How are the people in the village?"

She looked up at Ye Feng, her mouth clenched and unable to speak.

Ye Feng understood and said:

"Sorry... all is lost..."

"How could this happen..." Pascal's sobbing voice was heard.

Ye Feng sighed and said:

"Pascal, how are the kids?"

"Mr. 9M, Ms. A2, I took the children to take shelter in an abandoned factory..."

"I see. We'll be there soon."

Driving HO229, Ye Feng activated the mobile mode and flew towards the ruined factory holding A2.

......

Ruined factory,

"Are you okay!? Pascal?"

The two men who got off the fighter plane quickly rushed into the factory. There were dozens of mechanical children inside, some sitting or standing, all shivering.

"Miss A2, Brother 9M..."

"What was the situation at that time?" Ye Feng asked.

"I don't know. What I saw was that some villagers suddenly rose up and started to eat other villagers."

Pascal's memories were filled with pain: "If you hadn't come, we would have... Thank you!"

Pod 042: "Question: As long as we have the materials, can't we regenerate mechanical creatures?"

Pascal: “No… Actually, we have a component called ‘core’, which is an important component that carries self-data.

Once it is destroyed, there is no way to restore it to its original state.

The core is usually in the safest part of the body, but the villagers who died this time even had their core destroyed..."

"I see. Then, is this factory safe?" A2, who had been silent all the time, asked softly.

"Before, this place was inhabited by out-of-control religious mechanical creatures. But Miss 2B and Mr. 9M have fought them off. It's safe now." Pascal said, "We've been using this place as a storage facility for some time."

Hearing this, Ye Feng looked at this very unfamiliar factory with great interest.

Pascal looked at the familiar factory in front of him, and then looked at the strange 9M.

Last time, 9M and 2B killed all the crazy believer machines together and cleared this area for themselves as a temporary base for the villagers.

But this 9M looks a little off.

As if seeing Pascal's thoughts, A2 leaned close to Pascal's ear and whispered something.

Pascal was startled, then nodded heavily.

After a short rest, suddenly, auxiliary machine 042 issued an alarm:

“Report: According to information obtained from auxiliary machine networks in various places, a large number of machine life forms are gathering here.

Suggestion: Ensure the safety of Pascal and others as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, the iron door was forced open.

Two zombie robots rushed in with axes in hand, looking ferocious.

All the mechanical children were shocked and screamed in fear.

Ye Feng glared with his tiger eyes, raised his hand and swung his knife, and the two zombie machines fell to the ground.

Looking out the door, I saw more zombie machines rushing towards the factory in the distance.

A2 couldn't help wondering: "Where did these guys come from?"

She was answered with an angry curse.

"Fuck! Are you that serious!? N2!!"

Ye Feng cursed fiercely, rushed out of the door with his sword in hand and fought with the oncoming enemies.

A2 followed Ye Feng without saying a word.

"I, I'll come to help too! I'm going to destroy them and kill them all!" Pascal roared angrily.

After Pascal finished speaking, he rushed forward with his bare hands and punched out, knocking a zombie robot to pieces on the spot.

A2 couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene.

Looking at the many enemies in front of him, Pascal couldn't help but shout: "Why on earth? Are we being targeted? "

A2 slashed the mechanical lifeforms that rushed towards him with a sword and shouted, "We'll think about this later. We have to defeat these guys first."

The enemies are increasing.

"There's no end to this if it goes on." A2 shouted.

"Ms. A2, I have an idea. Please buy some time with Mr. 9M!" Pascal seemed to calm down and turned away.

Seeing countless zombie machines continue to attack, Ye Feng was extremely angry, but he suddenly thought of something and calmed down.

"Auxiliary machine, the use of HO229 equipment is transferred to A2."

"learn."

"Report: Access to HO229 equipment detected." Assist 042 reported.

A2 forced many zombie machines away with a sword and asked Ye Feng: "What about you?"

Ye Feng shouted, "I'll go and watch over the children to prevent any enemies from getting behind us!"

"Be careful!" A2 shouted, and his voice sounded extremely gentle.

A smile appeared on Ye Feng's lips.

"Don't get hurt, I'll be sad."

"You're such a chatterbox!" A2 scolded, and his cheeks stained with red oil became even redder.
