…
The dead wood burned in the flames, making crackling sounds from time to time. Shen Ye poked it a few times with a straight branch, threw in two more pieces of wood, then took off his gloves and started to roast them in front of the fire.
Although we have left the desert, the forest is still quite cold at night.
A2 looked at Shen Ye's actions and stretched out her hands to warm herself by the fire as he did. However, although her sensors could sense the temperature, she had no idea what effect the temperature would have on her.
"Is this your POD?" After roasting the fire for a while, A2 felt that it was meaningless to do so, so she withdrew her hand and turned to look at the firepower floating beside Shen Ye.
"Yes, its name is Firepower, a very cute little guy." Shen Ye raised his hand, and Firepower fell into his palm. The rotating wings above his head also stopped, as if it was resting.
"I picked it up by accident. It has a certain level of intelligence, but it has no language system and cannot speak. Its storage device also seems to be broken and it has no previous memories." Shen Ye began to make up a story.
"You gave it a name?" A2's attention was focused on something peculiar. His blue eyes glowed slightly, as if he was scanning something. He then said, "You treated it as a pet. I remember that humans also liked to give names to their pets."
"Then have you ever seen humans?" Shen Ye changed the subject.
A2 shook his head. "No, I was created only a few years ago, and I participated in airborne operations soon after I was created. I heard that there are still humans in the base on the moon, but no one has ever seen them. I guess they died a long time ago."
When she said this, A2's eyes narrowed slightly. Androids have complex emotions, especially the YoRHa model. They are more emotional than ordinary Androids, so Shen Ye could see the hatred that flashed across her eyes at this moment.
The death of her companions and the abandonment of the commander have always been on her mind, including the "humans" on the lunar base.
However, Shen Ye still asked: "It seems that you hate humans very much, why?"
A2 did not answer immediately, but just closed his eyes, as if he was thinking, but also seemed to refuse to answer.
But think about it, even if her personality has changed from normal to much more cruel due to years of fighting, the underlying code won't change instantly due to emotions.
May the glory of mankind last forever, which remains her "obsession".
Looking at A2 who closed her eyes and remained silent, Shen Ye did not ask any further questions. He knew that this question was difficult to answer, and he also knew that A2 was an android who did not like to talk. The reason she could talk to him for so long was probably because he helped her.
"It seems that the underlying code is not unchangeable. From the later plot, some android, except for being silicon-based creatures, actually have everything that humans have. Their thinking, emotions, and personality are almost the same as those of humans."
"However, there are only a few androids who can think independently. The androids in the base are still loyally carrying out the orders of humans. It's just that..." Shen Ye leaned against a tree and thought, "But, what consequences will the emergence of humans bring?"
Shen Ye couldn't figure it out, and since the ending of the game wasn't explained, he was too lazy to think about it.
Getting up from the ground, Shen Ye didn't want to sleep against a tree at night, as that would be quite uncomfortable, so he planned to make a bed for himself. He immediately pulled out a jungle machete and went into the woods behind him.
At the moment he left, A2 opened his eyes and said as if talking to himself: "What is the meaning of human existence? What is the difference between us and humans? Just like you, you look just like the human in my memory!"
…
When Shen Ye came back, he was carrying a large bundle of straight wood that was as thick as his wrists and taller than him, and in his arms he was holding a pile of wide leaves...that was a mattress.
Sweeping a flat and clean surface with his feet, Shen Ye first placed the wood on the ground, and then spread the leaves on top.
"Bed? Are you making the bed?" A2 watched the whole process of Shen Ye. After the bed was made, she asked.
After so many years on Earth, this was the first time he saw an android who would take the initiative to make his bed in such an environment.
"Yeah, how about it, it looks good, right?" Shen Ye patted the bed on the ground. The tightly arranged wood was not uncomfortable to touch. Instead, it felt like a massage bed.
"Come on, try it first. If you feel uncomfortable, I will improve it." Shen Ye stood up and walked to A2, picked her up and put her on the bed.
"How is it? Feeling pretty good, right?" Shen Ye asked again.
"Beds are meaningless to us." A2 said calmly while lying on the bed, "We are just artificial humans. We don't need to enjoy like humans."
"Artificial humans also have the word 'human' in their names, so it's normal for them to enjoy themselves a bit. Besides, when you were created, didn't you ever sleep in a bed?" Shen Ye just asked.
A2 recalled and said, "I have slept in one, but because the base is limited in size, the bed is very small and simple, and can only accommodate one android."
"That's it. This bed is also very small and can only accommodate one android." Shen Ye said with a low laugh: "And I just asked you how you felt."
"Not bad." A2 thought for a moment and said tactfully.
"That's good." Shen Ye nodded, and then used the remaining materials to make a bed for himself.
His bed was right next to A2, only half a meter away. However, A2 was just an artificial human, so Shen Ye could not smell the body fragrance of Aerith and the others. Instead, he smelled a smoky smell.
That was the smell on A2 from the mechanical life she killed yesterday, but she was a cyborg and had no sense of the smell.
Shen Ye rubbed his nose and asked, "Don't you smell the odor on your body? I think you should take a bath."
"No need." A2 said calmly.
"Okay then." Shen Ye shrugged and then covered himself with his cloak.
But then he thought about it, stood up and covered A2 with the cloak.
"I won't be cold." A2 looked at the cloak on her body. She didn't understand what the point of it was.
"Humans will take care of their weak counterparts. When they are sick, they will cover them with blankets and feed them food and water," said Shen Ye.
"We are the same kind, and you are very weak now," he added.
A2 stopped talking. She seemed to understand the meaning of Shen Ye covering her with a cloak.
"Take care of each other like humans? Just like my former companions, who let me live to take care of me?" A2 looked at Shen Ye, her "brain" working rapidly.
"Go to sleep, it's getting late." Shen Ye also lay down, said this and closed his eyes.
"Good night!"
For some unknown reason, A2 said this.
Shen Ye turned his head and looked at her, but she had already closed her eyes, so he also said, "Good night!"
…
Shen Ye didn't know whether androids needed to sleep, but even if they did, they should be in the same kind of hibernation as computers. After all, androids could be considered computers with bodies.
But Shen Ye was not an artificial human, so he really fell asleep after he said good night. After walking for a day and a night with a 300-pound girl on his back, even a strong man needs rest.
Soon, his breathing calmed down.
And his temporary POD firepower also lay on his chest, shut down and went into hibernation.
A2 did not "sleep". She had no concept of tiredness or mental weakness. Moreover, she had "slept" the whole day and did not want to rest anymore.
So not long after Shen Ye fell asleep, she opened her eyes and looked at Shen Ye curiously.
It is rare to see a species that needs to sleep, but it is not that she has never seen it before. In the rebel camp before, she has seen many of her species imitating humans to sleep, and she has also seen mechanical life forms that need to sleep, but those mechanical life forms were killed by her in the end.
"He looks no different from a human." A2 thought to herself. Shen Ye gave her the feeling that he was more and more like a human in a memory.
After thinking blankly for a while, A2 sat up. Her body had not yet recovered and seemed a little stiff. It would take at least ten days for her to move freely. Of course, if she could find the camp of the androids, it would only take a few hours.
After sitting for a while with the cloak in her arms, A2 noticed that the flames of the bonfire had become much smaller. After thinking for a while, she grabbed two pieces of wood from under her body and threw them in. Seeing the flames getting bigger again, she actually smiled.
Then she turned her head to look at Shen Ye again, and remembering what he had just said, she raised her arm and smelled it, and there was indeed a strange smell.
"If I were a human, what should I do when I smell this smell? Frown? And then take a shower like he said?" A2 thought for a while, then frowned.
Then she stood up with difficulty and staggered into the depths of the forest. The humidity sensor in her body told her that there was a stream nearby.
Yes, she was going to take a bath.
A girl weighing nearly 300 pounds naturally makes quite a lot of noise when she walks, and Shen Ye was not sleeping very soundly, so not long after A2 left, he opened his eyes and looked in the direction A2 left. He was a little puzzled and didn't understand what she was going to do.
After thinking about it, Shen Ye felt a little worried, so he got up and followed.
Of course, in order to avoid being discovered, he activated the mechanic skill, camouflage, which allows him to blend into the surrounding environment in a short period of time. It is a kind of optical camouflage. At the same time, it can block the scanning of various sensing devices. It is a very practical skill.
After walking a short distance with A2, Shen Ye heard the sound of running water, but he still didn't understand what she was going to do. It was not until he saw A2 walk to the stream and start to take off her clothes that he realized that A2 actually wanted to take a bath.
"Does she care about what I said before?" Shen Ye thought, but he stared at A2 who was already naked without blinking.
To be honest, this is already considered voyeurism, which is a very bad nature and behavior.
At this moment, Shen Ye wanted to turn around, but his body seemed to be out of control, so he just admired it boldly.
To be honest, A2's figure is not plump. Compared with the formal body, which is 2B, she is very tall and slender, but her back is very perky and well-endowed.
It's just a pity that A2 had its back to him and he couldn't see what was ahead. Also, due to years of fighting and the lack of necessary care and maintenance, parts of A2's body had faded and worn, and it was not perfect. However, the battle-damaged version of A2 was still very beautiful, with a kind of imperfect beauty.
It was not until A2 went into the water that Shen Ye pinched his brows, hesitating whether to continue watching or not.
But he obviously forgot one thing: disguise has a time limit.
The disguise in the game can only last for a few dozen seconds, which is nearly ten times longer in reality. But it only lasts for a few minutes. After this time, his figure is completely revealed.
The moment he showed up, A2 sensed him, and thinking he was an enemy, she suddenly stood up and turned around, then froze.
Shen Ye was also stunned. He didn't expect the disguise to last so quickly, and what he didn't expect was how he would explain it later.
"Ha, I... I'm just worried that something might happen to you." After thinking for a while, Shen Ye spoke with some difficulty. Although he knew that this explanation was pale, he couldn't move his eyes away. Apart from the smooth snow-white, he was still sighing in his heart that the android also had those two spots of bright red!
A2 didn't say anything. She just stared at Shen Ye blankly, thinking in her heart what she should do.
"What would a human do if they were seen naked by the opposite sex?" A2's eyes were blurred, and she kept recalling the past in her mind. Countless fragments were cut into pieces and kept magnifying in her mind.
Finally, she took action. She raised her hands to protect her chest, squatted down again, hid in the water, and said in a cold tone: "Have you seen enough? Shouldn't you turn around?"
Shen Ye finally reacted and quickly turned around, but he was still thinking that the front of A2 was still very straight.
Not having 2B fullness does not mean that you have a bad figure.
As the sound of splashing water and clothes being put on began, A2 said again: "You can turn around now."
But at this moment, Shen Ye didn't dare to turn around and ran away.
When A2 returned to the camping place, Shen Ye was already lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but his disordered breathing showed that he was not calm at the moment.
A2 supported her chin and looked at Shen Ye. For some reason, she wanted to laugh.
Pursing his lips, A2 said calmly, "If you did that in the past, it would be like committing a crime and you would go to jail."
"So that was in the past." Shen Ye said in a muffled voice, as if defending himself.
"Can androids also be shy?" A2's blue eyes shone with sparkling starlight.
"Because I'm different from ordinary androids." Shen Ye wanted to pull a blanket out of the system space to cover himself. Although he was also an experienced driver, it was different now. He was discovered when he was peeping...
