Warhammer 40 A New Hope

All the twin androids were eliminated, leaving only Divara and Popola.

In order to make them feel guilty forever (find someone to blame), they were implanted with a program to make them believe that they were responsible for the extinction of mankind, and then they were driven out to wander.

Divara and Popola have been feeling totally unnecessary guilt until today.

"I've already said that he was the protagonist. It would be a miracle if you could stop him at that time." Zhang Yi said to Diwala and Popola who were crying with joy. "You are just taking the blame, and it's meaningless..."

"us..."

"Stop. Although I won't tell you everything, I know more about what happened to you two than you do." Zhang Yi interrupted Popola and said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it later. Now, you need to undergo a comprehensive examination."

Two Iron Hands Space Marines carried away Divara and Popora, and the operation on the abandoned factory progressed from the attack phase to the search phase.

Some intact corpses of mechanical life forms will be taken away for research, and at the same time, the Iron Hands team that raided this place will clean up every corner to ensure that there are no survivors.

Just as planned, the raid was successful with little hindrance, not only recovering the jar that caused all this, but also finding the only remaining Gemini android.

Until now, everything has been going smoothly, but after two consecutive actions, the mechanical lifeforms and N2 have noticed that something is wrong.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Boom--!

Hegel, a mechanical life form of the super-giant mothership type, also uses the name of a great man in the past as its code name.

Its huge size, its electromagnetic shield that runs non-stop, and its large number of weapons and production lines make it a mobile fortress on the sea, completely controlling the offshore area and suppressing all activities of the androids nearby.

And now, this huge fortress suddenly left the area it had been patrolling and began to move slowly in one direction. At the same time, a certain number of mechanical life forms on the land also began to move in the same direction.

[Mirror Space] can isolate the outside world, so that N2 outside cannot know what is happening in the space. The mechanical life forms trapped in the [Mirror Space] are also unable to send any messages to the outside world.

Perhaps after a certain period of self-evolution, mechanical life forms will be able to interfere with space, but that takes time, and they don't have that ability now.

But this is not completely safe. Although the inside and the outside are isolated once the [Mirror Space] is unfolded, the sudden disappearance of a large number of mechanical life forms or special mechanical life forms may still attract N2's attention.

The rift-generating device in the game "Red Alert" can prevent the radar from detecting anything around the device, but at the same time, the appearance of a rift-generating device also means that there is something nearby that needs to be hidden - just blow it up there.

At the recommended observation point on top of the amusement park castle, several Iron Hands detected mechanical life forms slowly moving in their direction, and the news was quickly transmitted back to their base in this world.

"We were suspected earlier than expected." Zhang Yi said after returning to the temporary base. "How should we deal with it?"

"The best way is to divert their attention. Fighting them is the last resort." Ferros thought. "Before we complete the construction of the base and solve the communication problem, it is unwise to fight a large-scale battle with mechanical life forms."

"That's what we said, but how can we do it? Throw a slave worker over there to 'drive the train'?" Zhang Yi said. "Based on the plot of the previous generation, it would not be a good idea to let them obtain human DNA, even if it is human-like."

"I can already imagine the consequences of doing that. If we consider the existence of the evil god, the consequences will be even worse..."

"...We don't need all the androids, right?" Ferros said after a moment of silence.

"Although the more androids we can recycle, the better, in reality, as long as we can obtain the corresponding production data, two of each android model as a sample will be enough." Zhang Yi replied. "At least that's the plan for the first step."

"Based on the existing data, whether it is a mechanical life form or an android, it is impossible to distinguish between humans and androids at the first sight, right?"

"Hmm~ Because humans died out a long time ago, and only souls remained of humans at the time of Divara and Popola, and mechanical life forms have never seen humans." Zhang Yi responded. "Under the current circumstances, neither artificial humans nor mechanical life forms have any reason to manufacture and install specialized biological detection equipment."

"Wait, you want to..."

"This would be a good idea. The Primarch of the Pathfinder, who was able to escape from the clutches of the evil god several times, shouldn't be caught by these heartless robots, right?"

"...You should know that I can call your father out to slap you in the face, right?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Mechanical lifeforms will evolve based on the weapons and equipment of their enemies, and while not as outrageous as the Greenskins and Tyranids, given enough time, their combat power will soon match or even surpass that of their enemies.

But what if the enemy is a powerful individual? Evolution is to adapt to the environment or to respond to certain factors, but if evolution occurs to respond to a powerful entity that can affect the entire population... what will be the result?

Will it become the natural enemy of this singular existence? Or will it coexist with it in another way?

The huge mechanical life form Hegel is moving slowly, and all the detectors on his body are scanning and searching the surroundings non-stop.

Suddenly, this huge mechanical lifeform stopped attacking, and the next moment a series of explosions appeared around its body.

"Wow~ An entire Star Army artillery regiment's artillery bombardment can't break the shield?" Zhang Yi said from a distance, looking at Hegel who was unharmed. "But these artillerymen are really accurate. My portal was not opened very wide, and all the guns came in."

Hegel, who was suddenly attacked, began to search for the enemy. Judging from the previous attack, the enemies this time were either numerous or very large.

But he did not detect any artillery clusters or huge war machines, and there was almost no direction from which the attack came.

"The light spear array begins gathering energy and prepares to fire."

Another portal opened not far from Zhang Yi. Soon after, a blue beam of light shot out from it and directly hit Hegel's huge body.

Hegel, with its powerful electromagnetic shield, can deflect and resist various live ammunition and particle weapons, but it is ineffective against laser weapons because its core is to protect the target by deflecting charged particles, and light is a beam of polarized light composed of uncharged photons, so it cannot be deflected.

The space battleship-level laser beam directly burned through Hegel's thick armor and severely damaged its internal structure. Its huge body now became a burden.

"The electromagnetic shield disappears, and the artillery unit is preparing for another round of fire coverage."

"Fire!"

Dozens of heavy artillery shells flew out of the portal and headed towards the ruins in Hegel's direction. The flames of the explosion rose again, and large pieces of metal fragments flew everywhere.

Under the bombardment of the extremely powerful artillery in the 40K world, even Hegel's huge mechanical life form could not withstand it, especially since a big hole had just been burned by a light spear.

He tried again to find the attackers, but as before, there were no large artillery pieces or android artillery units in his detectors.

After another fruitless exploration, Hegel suddenly sank into the water, trying to use the rough sea surface to hide his huge body.

After it dived into the water, the attack seemed to stop because of its actions, but then it detected the sound of something falling into the water.

boom--!

The next moment, the sea surface was boiling, and a mushroom cloud appeared above the sea. A large amount of sea water was evaporated or displaced by the powerful shock wave, and Hegel's huge body began to break.

"They didn't drop the wrong bomb, did they? If they had dropped a whirlwind torpedo, the planet would be gone." Zhang Yi, who witnessed the explosion, said as he looked at the mushroom cloud. "It seems that if nothing unexpected happens, a blitzkrieg can kill all these things before the mechanical life forms evolve accordingly."

"But Guilliman can't spare any manpower right now. I heard that DOM is running around with his fleet all day, killing people in Chaos and causing them to have psychological trauma."

Hegel, who had just been destroyed even without the use of orbital weapons, was destroyed by Zhang Yi alone (in fact, the troops behind the door should also be counted).

The mechanical lifeform troops acting together with Hegel also began to search the area, trying to find the existence that destroyed Hegel.

But when they found the place where Zhang Yi destroyed Hegel, there was no one there. The mechanical lifeform troops searching in other places sent out news that they were attacked by unknown artificial humans.

Back to the question, when an entire population begins to evolve specifically because of the existence of a powerful individual, what will be the result?

When the power possessed by this individual is completely different from the previous one, will this so-called targeted evolution really be useful?

522. Adam and Eve

Several small mechanical life forms are chasing a blurry figure. For some reason, in the images captured by their cameras, the being they are chasing is always a blurry mosaic.

The target finally disappeared around a corner, and the mechanical life forms chased after it. Soon after, a round head rolled out and was then grabbed back by a hand.

"I won't leave you anything, let's see how you can get information." Zhang Yi threw the round head into the portal and clapped his hands. "You! Go back! You're so anxious!"

The Mechanicus members under Zero were pushed back into the portal by Zhang Yi, and the portal was immediately closed. In Zhang Yi's perception, more mechanical life forms were rushing towards him.

"Let me check the map. I think most of their attention has been drawn. So we can lead them in the opposite direction as planned."

"The android troops are also in this direction. If possible, I'll see if I can bring two of them over..."

"In fact, if I knew the location of the Lunar Parliament server, I could teleport there and take down these troublemakers. However, the game doesn't specify where these guys are. I think only Commander White knows."

"But maybe we can try... Yeah..."

Zhang Yi successfully attracted the troops sent by N2. The destruction of a Hegel was not a trivial matter for a mechanical life form. Moreover, judging from the intelligence sent back before it was destroyed, Hegel had never figured out where the total came from from the beginning to the end.

But one thing is certain, this is most likely related to the android running around everywhere. N2 speculates that this android, who is completely not in the records, is very likely related to humans!

More mechanical life forms rushed towards Zhang Yi. At the same time, N2 began to try to create targeted mechanical life forms to capture targets based on the intelligence they had collected.

Zhang Yi traveled through the abandoned city, flexibly dodging the mechanical lifeform troops that were tracking him and playing with these round heads in the palm of his hand.

Few of the round-headed creatures of the flying type could keep up with Zhang Yi's speed. They kept shooting at him in the air, trying to stop him.

Then, as Zhang Yi clenched his left hand towards them in the air, those round heads seemed to be attracted by an invisible source of gravity, collided with each other, and were gradually squeezed into a ball.

Bear!

The scorching flames ignited and melted the enemies falling from the sky. After doing all this, Zhang Yi was about to continue moving when it suddenly began to vibrate.

Boom--!

The abandoned building under Zhang Yi's feet began to collapse and sink. A huge mechanical life form stood up from the ground and stared down at the falling Zhang Yi.

But the next second, there was a crashing sound coming from his metal body.

"What should I call you? Tenger?"

Without any warning, Zhang Yi appeared on the body of this ×gus. Then Zhang Yi used his left hand to tear open a layer of armor plate and jumped into its body.

'Sun Wukong entered the stomach and made a big fuss in Heaven' This is a common plot in books, but no monkey in the world has ever killed his enemy for this purpose, and no one knows why.

But Zhang Yi was different. He was destroying the body of this ×gus crazily. Exploding flames and electric sparks kept coming out of its body. After a few minutes, this ×gus, which had just appeared, fell forward after shaking for a while.

Bang! Bang! Bang—!

The heavy metal plate on the back was kicked away, a cloud of black smoke overflowed from the gap, and Zhang Yi crawled out from the gap.

"It's quite big inside, and it took a while to dismantle it." Zhang Yi patted the dust off his body and said. "But it's finally done. These mechanical life forms are relatively easy to deal with in the early stages."

"Let me see where to run next... Okay?"

At this moment, Zhang Yi noticed that the corpses and fragments of the mechanical life forms around him suddenly began to shake and move in the direction of the refrigerator.

"Depend on?"

The next second, a large number of metal blocks on the ground gathered together, surrounded Zhang Yi, and began to rotate at high speed.

"It's the cutscene of the boss's appearance, right?" Zhang Yi muttered as he watched the 'metal storm' surrounding him and preventing him from escaping. "Should I finish watching it?"

This strange storm did not last long. After dozens of seconds, the large number of mechanical lifeform corpses and debris gathered together to form a huge sphere in front of Zhang Yi's eyes, and then fell to the ground as if it had lost its energy source.

Adam & Eve

"You really didn't wear any pants when you came out." Zhang Yi covered his eyes and said speechlessly, then slapped Jiede on his left arm. "What are you excited about!"

However, the scene became quiet, and the newly born Adam and Eve stopped where they were, motionless.

"Although we are enemies in some ways, I still have a suggestion for you." Zhang Yi turned around and prepared to leave. "Don't connect to the Internet if you still want to be free."

After saying that, Zhang Yi prepared to leave. The new high-level mechanical life forms, Adam and Eve, would probably need some time to learn. He was not interested in waiting for their reactions any longer, as the other mechanical life forms were about to come over.

Then, Zhang Yi had just taken a few steps when a figure flew past him and fell to the ground in front of him.

"?"

Turning around, Adam fell in front of him with a fanatical expression, just like a toddler trying to run, this behavior only caused them to fall again and again.

However, as mechanical life forms, Adam & Eve learned very quickly, almost at lightning speed. At first they were still falling and their attacks kept missing, but after dozens of seconds, they were able to stand firmly and run at high speed.

Zhang Yi could clearly see that Adam and Eve in front of him did not want to kill him, but were more like playing or "making friends through martial arts."

The attacks of the two brothers became more and more fierce, and their cooperation became more and more coordinated, but they failed to hit Zhang Yi from beginning to end.

After Adam and Eve's attack failed again, Zhang Yi grabbed their swung fists and threw them both out.

Such an attack naturally would not cause any harm to the two people. After turning in the air, they landed steadily on the ground.

"Have enough fun?"

"I can't understand why a being as powerful as you could become extinct." Adam smiled and saluted Zhang Yi. "If all humans had abilities like yours, then our Creator would have no chance of winning."

"You can't use the tree you saw to define all plants, do you understand?" Zhang Yi said. "I am an exception, ordinary humans don't have this ability..."

"Besides, I am not a human from this world."

"In this world where there are no humans anymore, where you come from doesn't matter. It is because of your appearance that the term human can be redefined. Besides..."

"In the same group, weak individuals who cannot adapt should be eliminated to make room for stronger individuals."

The mark symbolizing Tzeentch was flashing, which made Zhang Yi alert, but the sound of Tzeentch being beaten by the Emperor and Khorne dispelled his concerns - he just wanted to cause trouble.

"So, what do you want from me?"

"In human terms, this time we are just saying hello to you. Next time, we will bring gifts and pay you a formal visit."

"Goodbye then, human."

Then Adam and Eve disappeared in front of Zhang Yi, raising dust on the ground.

"...I hope they remember to wear clothes next time they come."
