Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Seeing this, A2 immediately let go of the saber in his hand and kicked sideways towards Zhang Yi's door.

boom!

The kick was powerful, but it did not really hit the target. Something like bone suddenly grew out of her left arm and extended in front of Zhang Yi, blocking her attack.

"This woman is so ruthless." Wu Mo said as he looked at A2 who launched attacks one after another.

"The boss never thought of fighting her, he was just trying to break her moves," said Fal.

"I think the boss is suppressing all kinds of abnormal impulses. Look at his arms, the marks are shining like a Christmas tree." Kerr made a sharp analysis. "It is also possible that the boss does not want to do it."

Just as Kerr analyzed, due to some reasons, his left arm is now a little abnormal, and Zhang Yi needs to spend some energy to suppress the impact of his left hand on him.

Khorne admired this warrior who had been able to fight independently until now; Slaanesh wanted to fight with this battle-damaged android; the fact that he was about to become a real living being attracted Nurgle; and Tzeentch, causing trouble was his goal.

In addition, Zhang Yi himself did not really want to fight A2, because there were already enough meaningless battles in this world.

"Boss, do you want to masturbate now to prove that you are actually a human being?"

"Believe it or not, I'm coming over to clean up the mess right now!"

A2 swung the weapon horizontally, but Zhan Yi dodged it by raising his head. Then she rotated the blade and swung it towards Zhang Yi again.

when!

The left arm that was somewhat out of place with it once again blocked A2's attack. No matter how hard the latter swung, he could not leave a trace on the arm.

"Can we chat..."

squeak--!

The sharp saber created sparks on Zhang Yi's left arm. A2 grabbed the handle of the saber, took a step back, let the tip of the saber leave the area defended by his left arm, and then stabbed towards him.

This attack was faster than the previous one, but it was still not as fast as the growth speed of the bone layer on the left arm. The thick white bone layer quickly covered the area of ​​Zhang Yi's left shoulder. After stabbing the shoulder, the attack deflected upward, once again causing sparks on the bone layer on the left shoulder.

Then, Zhang Yi grabbed A2's arm, who was once again close to him because of the attack, to prevent her from escaping. After trying to break free in vain, A2 kicked Zhang Yi with a high kick.

With the two of them so close, theoretically Zhang Yi could not dodge the attack, and that was indeed the case. He was hit directly by A2's kick, but after being hit, Zhang Yi put his entire body weight on A2 and knocked him to the ground.

A2's left leg was carried on Zhang Yi's right shoulder, and her whole body was pressed to the ground by Zhang Yi. The opponent's strength seemed to be much greater than he imagined, so that she could not break free.

However, when she saw Zhang Yi's face slowly straightening up, A2 stopped struggling and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Because he saw a small stream of blood flowing from the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth.

"Suck the blood back~ Can we talk now?"

Looking at the drop of blood sucked back by Zhang Yi, A2's processor was a little overwhelmed. Androids don't bleed. There are only a large number of metal parts, chips and circuits in their bodies. They will never start bleeding just because of being kicked. If they bleed, it will only be cooling water.

If the person in front of him who looks like a cyborg is not a cyborg, does that mean he is a human being that should have been extinct long ago?

Click (camera shooting sound)

"I'm going to take this picture to the Emperor." Farr said, looking at the camera in his hand. "You'll probably have to hang there for two days."

"Don't stop me, I'm going to clean up the mess now!"

Zhang Yi suddenly jumped up from A2, picked up his hammer and walked towards Fal while yelling.

A2, who was released by Zhang Yi, knelt on the ground. The scene just now made her a little confused: she had just fought with the Creator, and she even injured him?

This experience was as shocking to A2 as when she first learned that there were no humans on the moon. Both were too horrifying.

At this time, A2 stood up and walked towards Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi, who was taking a photo of Faldon, also noticed A2 walking towards him.

Under the gaze of everyone, A2 came to Zhang Yi and touched Zhang Yi's face and the bleeding corner of his mouth that had been licked with its damaged and paint-peeled right arm, feeling the touch that was different from artificial skin.

"Are you...really existing? Haven't you already..."

"The humans in this world have indeed become extinct. Their final plan failed for various reasons." Zhang Yi answered A2's question. "I come from another world."

"If possible, I hope to exchange some information."

"...everything is as you wish." A2 knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Yi. "May the glory of mankind last forever..."

"I bet the boss is secretly happy right now."

"F*ck me!"

513. NieR: Automata - The Holy Grail War (Part )

Just as Zhang Yi and his team had expected, in order to ensure the sustainability of the war, the battles between androids and mechanical life forms would last for a period of time and then would enter a stable phase. Both sides would replenish their troops or manufacture new weapons during this period.

Under normal circumstances, after 26 battles of varying sizes (corresponding to 26 endings), the backdoor program in the [Bunker] will open, destroying the existing androids and creating new ones. The mechanical life forms will also clear out some inventory at this time and then be replaced with new ones.

This tacit understanding has lasted for a long time. Due to different reasons, both sides cannot eliminate each other, so it can only continue like this.

But that's under normal circumstances...

Homunculi were created to serve as the bodies of soulified humans after all the magic elements were returned, and the original goal of mechanical life forms was to destroy humans.

What if we tell them now that humans, who were once completely extinct, have reappeared? This will undoubtedly cause a huge riot.

The cause was a can that Zhang Yi threw into the sea, and an artificial human from the ground resistance army who had a collecting habit picked it up.

At first, it seemed nothing. She thought it was a human relic that emerged from the sea, so she fished it out of the sea and took it back to collect.

However, when a research robot scanned the can, he detected trace amounts of human saliva residue on it, and it was fresh!

This news is undoubtedly a bombshell among the artificial human community, which means that there are still other humans alive in this devastated land!

The leader of the android resistance on the ground immediately reported the news to the [Bunker] in the planet's orbit, but strangely, the people there did not immediately send out troops to search for possible humans, but instead cut off contact with the ground for a while.

Then, a riot broke out among the mechanical race, and they launched an attack on the android resistance forces on the ground. Soon after, the androids in the [bunker] also listed them as traitors and started another round of airborne operations.

Just a little bit of saliva residue stirred up turbulent waves on the originally stable "water surface", and the originally orderly action pattern was completely disrupted.

And the culprits of all this chaos, the littering humans, are now... looking up information.

"Can't the game developers write the plot and background in a simpler and clearer way? There are so many fragmented notes, information hidden in weapons and props, and things that connect the plots of the previous generation to the next generation. How can I check them?!"

"But you know what, boss? It's this kind of fragmented note-taking game that so many people enjoy talking about."

"Playing games is one thing! When you really need to find information in this world, I will annoy you to death!" Zhang Yi retorted. "There are four ways to write the word '回'. How come this thing was not burned by Qin Shi Huang?"

"These are two different things, right?"

"Leave me alone!"

"..."

"Don't worry, he's always been like this." As the technical sergeant Farr was testing and repairing A2, he said, "We are used to it."

"...Are there many humans in this other world?"

"That depends on how you define human," Farr replied. "If we go by the Iron Men's requirements, the only human in our world should be the Boss."

"But if it is based on the Emperor's requirements, there are quite a few humans."

Having said that, Fal finished repairing A2's body. This was all he could do with his current understanding of the technology in this world and the materials he had.

"...are there such huge differences in size between humans?"

"We are special. To put it simply, we are... new humans?" Far said after thinking for a while.

"'For a blue and pure world'?" Wu Mo suddenly popped up and said. "Your Blue Cosmos?"

"I'll trust the company that gives me the Strike Freedom Gundam."

"Oh yeah, you're a carrot lover, what's so good about those big metal toys?"

"You are a rough man with only muscles in your head, so you don't understand the benefits of carrots."

"I don't want to understand either."

At this time, Zhang Yi seemed to have given up looking for information and sat down on the ground.

"There are too many possibilities!" Zhang Yi shouted. "There is no way to determine what is going on!"

"If we combine the jar you threw out with what we know, and the server pretending to be human on the moon, it seems that those things knew that humans still exist, and they wanted to kill you or take you into custody, right?" Kerr analyzed. "I remember that the ship AI in a certain animation was also like this. Because they were afraid that the ship would stop operating after docking, they tried to prevent the people on it from returning to Earth."

"But there could also be problems with the machine life forms, such as N2 or Adam and Eve. If we take into account the existence of Dragonback and the observer, then there are more possibilities..."

"If you say so, do you want to consider the possibility of Tzeentch causing trouble?"

"I have a headache..."

After a while, Zhang Yi stood up and gave orders to everyone.

"Temporarily evacuate. We can no longer follow the original plot. The number of people we have is not enough. We need to redeploy."

"Fal, take A2 back. I remember you have a set of external armor for humanoids. Give it to A2 and repair her further. I hope she can collect more relevant information while we are away."

"Kerr, go contact the Iron Hands Chapter. The Pathfinders have no advantage against purely technological enemies. They are professionals."

"Wu Mo, go contact the Hope. We may need technical assistance from AI."

"What about you, boss?"

"Me? I'm going to get ready to receive a slap from the Emperor."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

【Iron Hands】Chapter Mother Star——Medusa

With a perpetually dark sky, unstable geological structure, and being very close to the Eye of Terror, this is not a planet suitable for human habitation.

But it is the home planet of the Iron Hands, one of the founding groups of Space Marines.

Because of the death of their Primarch, Ferrus Malus, the Iron Hands once severed ties with the Empire and other chapters, fighting Chaos in their own way. This situation continued until Zhang Yi appeared.

Under the orders of the Emperor and his Primarch, who had become the leader of the Bound Legion, the Iron Hands began to actively re-establish contact with the Imperium and other chapters, and worked for the new Empire under the command of Guilliman.

But they are still a less noticeable group. On the one hand, most of the time they just do their work silently and leave after they are done.

On the other hand, Guilliman hopes that they can take on the responsibility of restarting the research and use of AI, which they are familiar with.

Therefore, during this period, the Space Marines of the Iron Hands Chapter, in addition to some necessary tasks required by the Empire, put a lot of energy and manpower into finding the remaining Iron Men and persuading the Forge Worlds that were friendly with them, including the Forge World of Collums, to obey the Emperor and Guilliman's decision to take back and reorganize the power in the hands of the Mechanicus - this was not easy. (Colums was once one of the main forge planets that provided weapons and equipment for the Solar Segment)

It would be best if the transfer of power could be completed smoothly, but just as the Emperor and Guilliman had expected, most of these Mechanicus who have held great power and been independent for a long time will not give up any power in their hands, even if it is only a little.

Just as the Iron Council of the Iron Hands (the Iron Hands currently do not have a Chapter Master to lead the entire chapter. Each company is relatively independent and helps each other while also competing with each other. Some important matters are decided by voting by representatives of the Council selected from the ten companies) was having a headache about how to get the Forge World of Collums to agree to their conditions as soon as possible, the garrison of the giant space station in orbit of Medusa, which can be clearly seen from the surface of the planet, sent a message that the Pathfinders Chapter's exploration of other worlds needed their help, and they claimed that the world they were exploring this time would definitely be of interest to the Iron Hands.

Because that is a world full of various mechanical existences.

514. Calling for help

Originally, if the original plot had been followed, as long as Zhang Yi revealed his identity as a human, not to mention that all the androids would immediately shout "May the glory of mankind last forever" and come to ask for management, at least the androids of the ground resistance would listen to him, there is nothing to say about this.

But now, because of a jar, the entire plot of the NieR world has been disrupted, and the original plan to get something for nothing has failed.

[Pathfinder] has a strong "supernatural resistance" and has an almost overwhelming advantage over the existence of magic.

But on the other hand, they lost this advantage in the face of purely technological enemies, and were even weaker than the Space Marines of other chapters (all of them were new recruits who had been fighting for less than ten years).

Unfortunately, NieR is such a world. If it were the neighboring Dragonback world, a [Pathfinder] would probably be able to defeat a singer with [The Power to Destroy the World], but in the world of NieR, their battle records may not be comparable to those of 2B and 9S.

The Iron Hands Chapter is a chapter that is willing to give up everything to destroy its enemies, eliminate all weaknesses that can be called weaknesses, and has a tendency towards mechanical ascension - some of their Dreadnoughts don't even have people inside.

Following Zhang Yi's orders, the Pathfinder Chapter Captain Kerr came to the home planet of the Iron Hands Chapter and conveyed his Primarch's request to them.

After learning about the information about this alien world, [Iron Hands] immediately expressed their willingness to help them, but before that they needed some time to prepare and research.

At the same time, they also asked for a copy of the game "NieR: Automata", its prequel and sequel, and a complete set of settings.

Then, the strange scene appeared again.

. . . . . .

Medusa

"Multiple very large enemy units, and possibly multiple aircraft carrier factory-level enemy units."

"The electromagnetic shield can only resist live ammunition and particle beams, but not beam weapons. Do we need to prepare?"

"We will have to face off against the being called Hegel, but be prepared... Don't stop playing the game! There are still 20 endings to be played!"

"It is said that there are problems with those artificial humans as well. The cold weapons in their hands may not be as simple as we think."

"The androids in the game seem to be able to explosively improve their speed and agility. Perhaps it has something to do with magic."

"Also pay attention to auxiliary aircraft that can provide continuous and burst long-range support, and prioritize destroying them if possible."

"We need adequate shielding devices. Both mechanical life forms and androids have natural advantages in this regard. We must be fully prepared."
