…
The moonlight fell calmly on Shen Ye and A2, soft, peaceful, and serene, making people want to sleep.
However, A2 covered her eyes with her hands, as if the moonlight was more dazzling than the sunlight.
"The humans on the moon are just a bunch of bastards." A2 whispered in Shen Ye's ear.
"One day I'm going to go to the moon and kill them all."
Shen Ye was terrified when he heard this. The android girl's hatred for humans was quite deep!
"I think humans are okay. After all, they created us." Shen Ye said nice things to defend himself.
"Read less human books in the future... No, it should be read less storage devices left by humans. They will affect your way of thinking." A2 continued to speak in Shen Ye's ear, sounding like a warning.
Shen Ye didn't know how to answer, so he just remained silent. As long as he didn't speak, he wouldn't make any mistakes.
Fortunately, late at night, he finally saw the light coming from the android camp, and he no longer had to remain silent.
"It's not far, why did it take you so long?" Shen Ye was able to speak now, and he spoke with confidence.
"There's a problem with my memory bank." A2 said calmly, as if she had forgotten that she was previously boasting that her memory bank was the best among all YoRHa models.
Shen Ye shut up again. Dealing with women so many times made him realize that arguing with a woman was not a good thing, even if it was an artificial girl.
Silently approaching the camp of the android resistance, several androids jumped out. Some of them held swords, and some held ancient guns that looked like AK guns.
The evolution of mechanical life seems to be related to weapons. The more advanced the weapons they encounter, the faster they evolve. At least this is what some people who commented on the slice commentary Shen Ye saw before said.
There was no need to reveal their identities, as those androids had their own scanning systems. After a simple scan, they determined that the two people in front of them were androids, and then made way for them.
One of the androids kindly reminded him, "There is a maintenance department in the camp. Your companion can perform simple maintenance there, but it will cost you something valuable."
Shen Ye nodded politely, then turned around and asked A2: "Do artificial humans also have currency transactions?"
"Monetary transactions are needed everywhere. It is a part of society and we cannot escape it." A2's tone was a bit lazy and sounded powerless.
A social system for artificial humans? It has indeed been formed!
Shen Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, then continued to ask: "Then what kind of things are considered valuable? Money? The paper left by humans should have turned into ashes long ago, right?"
"Gold, silver, copper, iron, anything made of metal will do. The more valuable the better." A2 started talking more, which was totally inconsistent with her taciturn personality.
Shen Ye said "oh", used his free hand to feel around his body, and then took out a gold brick.
"This thing should be considered valuable, right?" he asked.
A2 nodded: "This is the most valuable."
The value of gold in industry is unparalleled, especially in areas related to machinery, which is absolutely indispensable. Shen Ye understood this, so he asked the question on purpose.
"In that case, let's go to the maintenance department here first to provide you with care and maintenance." Shen Ye put away the gold bricks and continued walking into the camp, then talked to a female android and asked where the maintenance department was.
The female android politely pointed him in the direction, but she glanced at A2 carried by Shen Ye and frowned in a humane way.
"Don't have too much hope for the maintenance department of this kind of camp. With the technology here, it's good enough if you can find a paint that matches mine." A2 seemed to be very reluctant to go to the maintenance department, and even gave Shen Ye a shot of prevention in advance.
"From what you said, it seems like you're happy for me to carry you on my back." Shen Ye felt that this was what she meant.
"We are the same kind, aren't we?" A2's answer was somewhat irrelevant. She squinted her eyes and looked at the maintenance department not far in front of Shen Ye, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Hello, I want to perform some maintenance on my companion."
As soon as Shen Ye entered the maintenance department, he shouted loudly.
There is only one female android in the maintenance department. She wears glasses and it is not known whether she is really nearsighted.
Hearing the sound, she looked at A2 who was carried on Shen Ye's back, and then Shen Ye saw a beam of light visible to the naked eye coming out of her glasses, which quickly swept across A2's body.
"This is a model I've never seen before. It might be difficult to repair." said the female android.
"Then you can paint her, her color has faded." Shen Ye did not forget the scene he saw last night. Parts of A2's body were severely worn and faded. Although it was still beautiful and had a kind of imperfect beauty, perfect beauty was better.
The female android pointed to the side and said, "You can choose any paint you want, but I have never seen her body before, so there may not be anything here that matches her."
"Take a look." Shen Ye turned his head again and spoke softly, afraid that his breath would spray on A2's face.
"No thanks." A2 shook his head. "There is no one who matches me. I am an experimental model. I am unique."
Nonsense, there are obviously more than a dozen machines like yours, Shen Ye thought to himself.
Of course, Shen Ye couldn't tell it, because there was only one A2 left out of the dozen or so machines. It was almost the same as saying it was unique.
Since there was no matching paint, Shen Ye had no choice but to take the android girl and leave the maintenance department of the camp. There was light in the camp, so he quickly found a place to live.
There was a row of wooden houses, very simple, and the beds inside were even simpler, just some wood covered with a dirty cloth.
"That's why I think the way you make your bed is special. Here, bed is just an adjective for a place to lie down, but you have made a relatively comfortable bed in a more simple place." As if seeing Shen Ye's confusion, A2 said in his ear. It's a pity that the android girl couldn't exude sweetness, otherwise Shen Ye would be distracted now.
"It's all the same anyway." Shen Ye said indifferently, and then entered an empty wooden house.
