NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 180 Return to the Forest Kingdom

Forest country.

There are lush and towering trees, and a few animals running by from time to time.

Not far away, the Forest King Guards were training and shouting slogans.

"We must repay the king's kindness." The captain shouted.

"To repay a favor." The guards responded in unison.

"And what is the king's favor?"

"What is it?" they said in unison.

"Huh, what a bunch of low-intelligence mechanical life forms." A2 gave them a disdainful look.

If you can avoid it, don't do it now.

Thinking of this,

She dodged the patrol and without alerting anyone, she came under a big tree.

"This is it." A2 tiptoed forward and prepared to collect bark.

"who!"

Suddenly, a small, long-legged robot wearing armor jumped out from behind a tree and shouted, "Enemy!!!", alerting the patrols around.

The shouts echoed throughout the forest, and in an instant, densely packed soldiers from the Forest Kingdom surrounded A2.

The war is about to break out.

"stop!"

With a loud shout, a robot that looked like a general came riding over with a spear in hand and a medium-sized four-legged robot under his crotch.

The one that is “策” should be a horse, yes, that’s right.

It looks like it's going to be a tough battle.

She gripped the sword tightly in her right hand, ready to take the head of the mechanical lifeform.

Suddenly, the small, long-legged mechanical lifeform wearing armor and looking like a general rode up to the sentinel machine that had just shouted "enemy attack" and hit it on the head.

thump~

Listening to the sound is a good start.

The sentry machine was knocked off balance and fell to the ground, its head spinning.

The general then dismounted and ran straight to A2.

A2 tightened her right hand holding the sword a little more. She could easily kill the general in front of her.

However, there seem to be too many enemies.

However, running away from a battlefield is not my sister's specialty.

Die in battle, or be killed.

"Benefactor, benefactor!"

The general shouted, knelt down in front of A2, and began to kowtow, and ordered everyone behind him,

"Come with me to pay respect to our benefactor."

For a moment, there was a sound of weapons falling to the ground, and all the murderous soldiers of the kingdom put down their weapons and knelt down together.

"What's going on?"

A2 had never seen such a scene before.

Is this an enemy conspiracy?

"You... stand up and talk." A2 said cautiously, without loosening his right hand holding the sword.

"Thank you, benefactor!" The general slowly stood up.

"Thank you, benefactor." The electronic voices of the guards echoed through the forest, startling a flock of birds.

"Thanks to Mr. 9M's help and treatment for our great king, the king is now growing up healthily. Mr. 9M is a great benefactor of our kingdom." The general said excitedly.

"Then...what does it have to do with me?" Looking at the machines in front of him, A2 recalled the past.

A few months ago, she broke into the Forest Kingdom alone, ready to kill the mechanical life form known as the Forest King, although she was unsuccessful.

But since he had killed a lot of mechanical creatures, the Forest Kingdom should be irreconcilable with him.

But the situation in front of me...

"Mr. 9M rejected our offer and only asked us not to hunt you down."

The general went on to explain,

"Later, the king, who had regained his sanity, discussed with the prime minister and decided to treat you as a guest of honor. So, you are our benefactor."

"Oh I see."

The thought of the little man flashed through her mind again.

It's really haunting...

I couldn't help but smile.

Thank you!

"My benefactor, what brings you here for?"

A2 pointed at the big tree without saying a word.

Assist 042 saw this and felt that he was fine again.

It's time to go.

Then he floated to the general and said,

"Purpose: To obtain 'tough plant bark'."

When the general heard this, he felt relieved.

"Your Excellency the Benefactor should use it to make fuel filters. These new barks are not suitable for direct use. We have some that have been air-dried."

The general then turned around and gave orders to the guards behind him,

"Someone is coming."

"General?"

"The benefactor needs bark. You, go and bring it."

"Yes!"

The two medium-sized mechanical soldiers ran away happily.

After a while,

A2 opened his mouth wide, stunned by the pile of tough plant bark that was as high as a hill in front of him.

Although she despised the mechanical life forms of the Forest Kingdom, she also felt a little touched.

Just a little bit is enough. Are they taking all the reserves in the kingdom's warehouses?

Stupid, but well-intentioned.

"No, I only need a little bit." She finally spoke again, and bent down to pick up a piece of bark.

"How can that be? We have to repay our benefactor." The general disagreed.

"Repay the favor." The soldiers said in unison.

"So what is grace?"

"What is it?" they said in unison.

A2 shook his head helplessly and said goodbye to the machines.

"Suggestion: Differentiate between machine life forms, and do not randomly kill those that have no ill intentions towards YoRHa Unit A2." Assist 042 reported at the right time.

"Leave me alone!!"

A warm feeling rose in her heart.

Unexpectedly, I would see such a magical scene of mechanical life forms on this trip.

What's more unexpected is that this hot man is quite good.

……

"Ah sneeze~~~"

The good man Ye Feng sneezed three times.

I rubbed my sore nose.

"Who is thinking about me? Is it a mechanical life form?"

Wild Boar Bajie turned his head and looked at his master with concern.

Ye Feng patted its head gently and signaled it to jump into the sewer pipe.

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

After walking for several kilometers in the pipeline, the view suddenly became clear.

Drill out of the pipeline, walk a few hundred meters, and pass through the tall buildings that block the view.

He saw a cylindrical building about a hundred meters high.

The building is all black, and the giant black blocks that make up the building are constantly squirming.

The gaps between the blocks emit golden light, which looks very strange.

There is a metal door at the bottom of the building, which should be the elevator entrance.

This scene seemed to be waiting for him to enter.

"Hello, this is the tower's resource recovery unit, and we are about to enter defense status." A melodious female electronic voice came from the building.

This is the coast of the underwater city.

Ye Feng drove the pigs closer to the large building. He looked up at the door of the elevator at the bottom, on which was written some unfamiliar bird language.

This must be the so-called "Soul Box", Ye Feng thought.

According to the requirements of the White Tower, Ye Feng needs to unlock the three negative units of the giant tower to gain access to the White Tower. To unlock the negative units, he needs to go to three nearby giant buildings to obtain the password.

"Can I just blow up the white tower?" Ye Feng once asked auxiliary machine 153.

The auxiliary machine's answer was, "If it's raised, it's gone."

What a bullshit answer!

Ye Feng didn't bother with 153.

For a moment, Ye Feng gave up the plan to enter the white tower.

He was very rebellious in his heart.

Why should I go up the giant tower just because it appears?

I have strategic nuclear weapons in my hands, which can easily crush the white tower into ashes.

But regardless, Assist 153 repeatedly asked him to investigate the White Tower.

He called Oppenheimer, but stopped the launch at the last minute.

Because a sudden, extremely strong, unprecedented sense of uneasiness and palpitations surged in my heart.

Therefore, Ye Feng gave up the plan of blowing it up directly and had to go to three giant black buildings in the corners of the city to obtain the password.

In the game, this large device in front of you seems to be used to recover data information from mechanical life forms with low consciousness.

He originally wanted to go to the meat box in the forest country with A2, but the girl seemed to know what happened on the way back from the desert.

He was worried that his meat would be cut into pieces by A2 and put into the meat box.

So one person ran to the underwater city.

"Report, the text at the entrance is an ancient language called Angel Language, which translates to 'Soul Box'," Pod 153 reported.
