NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 346: Out of Control Unit-9 M

"Unit-01... is out of control..."

The projection showed the bloody killing scene of 9M.

Watching one resistance soldier after another die in battle, 154 became extremely anxious and worried, like an ant on a hot pan.

How to do!

what to do! ?

Suddenly, she thought of something, quickly turned on the projection, and summoned the nearest mechanical life form for support.

【Why, they know me! 】

[How could this happen? ]

154 He was in a state of confusion, unable to sit still, and kept stamping his feet and beating his chest.

Ding ding,

"154 calling 041, there is something I need..."

Ding ding,

"154 Please calm down, I also have information here that you need to know!"

Ding ding,

"No, listen to me first!"

Ding ding,

"No, my business is more important!"

041 interrupted 154 and continued:

"We made a big mistake."

154 Hearing this, he nodded: "I know, I'm trying to make amends!"

041 said again: "It's not that you misunderstood, but...

But...we have been doing it completely wrong all along.

The previous experiment failed because 007 had already made 9M. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand, explain it to me!"

Hearing the word "experiment", 154 calmed down instantly, stopped rushing to speak, listened quietly, and quickly urged 041.

041 paused, and then continued:

"All data of the YoRHa 9M comes entirely from the host.

There is no need for us to obtain the host's consciousness and connect it with the 9M body.

And once the 007M created by 9 develops intelligence, it will be...

Do you understand..., that is why the body we modified will always be an empty shell..."

After hearing Pod 041's words, Pod 154 felt as if struck by lightning. Its face turned pale and it suddenly knelt on the ground.

"how come……"

On the other end of the line, 041's deep voice came again:

"The target of our battle this time is

It is the host himself!"

154 Her mind went blank, and she stared at the projection screen blankly.

The man holding the upper half of 10H and the completely unconscious A2.

yes……

The behavior really seems like...

The tone and personality are exactly the same...

What on earth am I doing!

She was on the verge of collapse. She held onto the window tightly with both hands and looked toward the far west.

The distance was too far and all that could be heard was the rumbling sound of the explosion and a little bit of fire.

Then, 041's voice came out again, and the news became more desperate each time:

"Some of the data from that damn thing broke through the blockade and entered the 9M Unit-.

Unit-01 has developed consciousness, but it is not the host's consciousness.

In addition, the database storing the core information of YoRHa and its host has been interfered with and has been completely locked."

"What do you mean?" 154 asked loudly, on the verge of collapse.

"We can't make new ones!" 041 roared.

……

"you!"

Ye Feng raised his hand vigorously, trying to stop 9M from walking towards him with words.

But he had no strength left in his body.

In his arms, 10H's eyes finally dimmed, the last ray of light disappearing in an instant.

She seemed to smile.

She opened and closed her mouth, as if she was saying something.

Uh ah……

Ye Feng let out a roar, pressed his face close to hers, and rubbed it continuously. Tears, snot, mucus... mixed with the blood gushed out.

finally,

The hand she had been caressing on his face fell heavily to the ground, holding the blood-stained flower.

A2 on the other side was also in critical condition.

Her body was covered with small wounds and there were several fatal wounds on her chest.

11B, who was lying on the side, was still motionless, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Ye Feng seemed to have completely lost consciousness, and sat on the ground with the same expression.

Let 9M get closer to you.

I do not know how long it has been,

On the battlefield,

There seemed to be a sudden sound of gunfire.

At this time, auxiliary machines 042 and 153, who had been watching from the side, floated over quietly.

Looking at Ye Feng.

Seeing something approaching, Ye Feng's expression changed.

He prostrated himself on the sand, prostrating himself.

"I beg you..."

"Please...save her..."

"Hurry up and save them..."

"They are dying..."

"I'll do anything..."

"quick……"

A female voice came.

"Host……"

"I was wrong……"

Pod 042 casts a shadow, which is a communication from pod 154.

I saw the man in gray, 154, kneeling on the ground with a guilty look on his face, his head lowered, not daring to look at Ye Feng in front of him.

Dong~dong~dong~

Ye Feng's head fell heavily on the beach.

Lift up,

fall,

He kept mumbling to himself, like a madman.

"Do not……"

"you're not wrong……"

"I beg you..."

"I was wrong……"

"Although I don't know...what you want to do..."

"You...can kill me too..."

"As long as we can save them..."

"I'll do anything..."

"I beg you..."

154 With tears in her eyes, she was ready to be scolded.

But did not expect,

What greeted her was a helpless and desperate plea.

She would rather be scolded than face this.

"Host!?"

154 burst into tears and cried out with great remorse: "Ms. 10H is dead!!!"

Ye Feng's expression froze, and he shouted fiercely:

"Nonsense!"

"She's not dead!"

"Connect her lower body and she will come back to life!"

“Save her!!!”

His head hit the ground again and was completely embedded in the sand.

Dry sand, splashed with red liquid.

Pod 153 looked sad and slowly floated over.

He took the dying A2 from Ye Feng's hands and slowly floated away.

[No, this is too slow! !

what to do!?】

correct!

Ye Feng suddenly thought of something and looked at his left wrist.

The left hand, along with the communication watch, had long since disappeared.

He no longer looked at the shadow of 154 kneeling on the ground.

Instead, he rushed forward like a madman and grabbed Auxiliary Unit 042.

The bones at the corners of his mouth were dripping with blood.

Showing a creepy expression:

"Help me connect to the HO fighter, please..."

Assist 042 felt uneasy when being watched, and said obediently:

"learn!"

Ye Feng seemed to calm down.

suddenly,

He seemed to have thought of something.

He grabbed Pod 042 again and said terribly:

"YoRha will be resurrected after death, right?"

"you tell me,"

“Isn’t that right!?”

"Uh... yes, YoRHa can be resurrected." Pod 042 replied obediently.

His face was pressed tightly against 10H's shoulder.

suddenly,

It seems that he thought of something.

He grabbed Pod 042 again and said terribly:

"The bunker? The bunker is still there, right?"

"Uh... yes, the bunker is still there." said the auxiliary machine.

"The bunker is still there... the bunker is still there... hahahaha..."

He let out a strange cry from his throat, and kept muttering,

He grabbed 042 again, showing his bloody front teeth:

"Can you sing 'The Bug Is Flying'? Sing it for her, please..."

"Uh... I don't know how!" Assist 042 looked embarrassed.

"No...you will!" Ye Feng's ferocious face showed an equally ferocious smile.

"Okay... I can." Auxiliary machine 042 shook its body and started playing music.

A melodious tune sounded, and Ye Feng knelt on the ground.

Whispering a familiar tune,

Sing to her in my arms who can no longer hear any sound.

The stars in the sky shed tears,

The roses on the ground withered,

……

On the battlefield, 9M, who was showering himself with bullets, moved.

Suddenly, a sword energy shot out and slashed straight at a resistance soldier.

Cut him in half.

[Is it so amazing?

It turns out... you've been playing tricks on me...】

"10 hours..."

"Hurry up and see the gods descending to earth..."

The two HO fighters, operated by 042 and 153, picked up all the people lying on the ground.

"Hahaha……"

I stared blankly at the auxiliary aircraft and fighter planes busy shuttling back and forth.

Ye Feng suddenly laughed out loud, and his expression gradually returned to normal.

At this moment, his face was as gloomy as water.

I feel like I have lost all hope.

There is no love in life.

"Host……"

"...Just go!"

"Host... let's go together!" 154's holographic projection called out loudly.

Ye Feng gave a pale bitter smile and shook his head.

He looked down at the already cold 10H, then looked at the resistance soldiers who were being slaughtered, and the determination to die gradually grew in his heart.

He gritted his teeth.

10H...

...a part of which is lifted,

Passed to Pod 042's mechanical arm:

"Take her away."

"Host!?"

Assist 042 and 153 looked at each other, nodded, and looked at Ye Feng together, nodding slightly:

"Take care of yourself!"

"Host……"

"roll!"

Watching the HO fighter and two auxiliary aircraft carrying everyone away, Ye Feng turned his gaze to the other side.

The resistance kept pulling the trigger, even using RPGs,

But the armor of the key parts of the 9M is very strong.

The visual system is highly advanced and the body functions are highly flexible.

The action is very strange.

It is impossible to see his evasive movements.

While moving around,

Dodged the fatal bullet.

The bullets that he didn't dodge only hit non-critical areas of his body.

So far,

It didn't even have red coolant coming out.

"This guy...why is he so difficult to deal with!"

"Even tungsten core armor-piercing bullets can't kill him!"

The bearded uncle roared.

The front end of the barrel of the AKM full-power automatic rifle in his hand had melted.

The power of the bullets fired is greatly reduced.

He reached behind him, but found that none of his weapons were there.

The weapon in my hand is my last one.

Around him, there were three AKM rifles with completely melted barrels.

The other resistance fighters were not much better off. Either they had used up all their ammunition or their weapons exploded.

Some fighters even drew their melee weapons and watched intently from the sidelines.

"Liu! Give me ammunition!"

A soldier who had run out of bullets roared.

"then!"

The soldier named Liu threw the magazine at the roaring soldier.

bang bang bang~~~

The rifle fire continued, but it did not last long.

Eventually, all weapons failed to fire.

Seeing that the enemy no longer posed a threat to him, 9M smiled strangely and stopped maneuvering.

He looked at several resistance fighters, who were like lambs to be slaughtered.

9M raised his sword, ready to fire a plasma jet.

At this time, a voice came from my ear.

"Hey! That cute little guy over there who's as handsome as me, come to your dad!"
