Chapter 12: The Last Human
(Thank you for the tips and support of No Crime Tonight, Bandaru, and Caramel Latte Meow)
Adam and Eve, the evolutionary brothers of the mechanical lifeforms, are born with the ability to teleport at short ranges, and unless they don't want to escape at all, only N2 has the ability to kill them through cyber strikes and crowd tactics. A2 and 2B failed to swing the final slash, only to severely damage the two who were just born and had not yet formed their combat power.
As Space Command was in a panic over 9S's report and did not have time to give the order to eliminate defector A2, the three of them disbanded peacefully and rushed to the Resistance stronghold in two different routes - when they ran from the desert to the stronghold, the Resistance Commander Awu, who had been contacted by 9S beforehand, had already taken his subordinates back to Lyle and authenticated him.
"Mechanical life form evolution, interested in humans?" While Commander Ah Wu and Researcher Ah Crazy were busy analyzing Lyle's body scan results, blood samples, and genetic data, Lyle learned from 9S what was happening in the desert village.
Like the other androids in the stronghold, 9S, who was so excited after learning that Lyle had 'been blood-collected', replied in a tone higher than usual: "Yes! It must have been a mechanical lifeform that discovered Lord Lyle, and it is disgusting to have a look based on your appearance! ”
By the way, Adam is just like Lyle, far from being as good as Lyle's mother, his physique is very strong, and he knows that he is a man at a glance. And after Eve's injury heals, she will change to a crisp short haircut, which will look completely different.
"My appearance? Hmph~~" Lyle really doesn't like to be stolen from his appearance, but there are a large group of androids around him who are produced according to their own models, and there are some things that he can't say, "Although I probably wouldn't have ordered an attack immediately if I was present, the three of you are fighting to the death to eliminate a potential threat for me, and I accept this kindness." If you need to modify your body and weapons in the future, you can tell me directly. ”
What Lyle can do for desireless androids seems to be 'body modification' and 'weapon modification'.
Hearing this, 9S hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, kindness or something, this is our obligation." ”
"Without this obligation, the only androids I designed with my own hands are Deboro and Popolo, and ......" Lyle turned his head to look at the remains that lay on a plastic sheet, "this is not a good thing." ”
Zero's torso was badly damaged, X's left arm fell off and was cut in half, which may not be visible to others, but Lyle, the inventor, could already tell from the form of the damage that the two of them died in the civil war.
Of course, Lyle doesn't know why the civil war broke out between Zero and X back then, but thinking about the prototype - Deboro and the prototype - Popolo created a miracle on their own, and Zero and X, whom he had high hopes for, exited in this form, and he was so angry that he was hurt internally.
"All in all, you are cyborgs a thousand years later, and the technology you use is very different from the original, and it seems to me that there is no need to consider me as an inventor." Lyle refocused on 9S and said seriously, "As for the artificial intelligence with the 'three principles' that you preset, I will try to help you get rid of it." ”
"Lift ......!" 2B subconsciously clenched his hands, which of the E-type androids didn't hate their artificial intelligence, but there was no way to disobey.
"Wait, how did you ...... just said?" Unlike partners, 9S focuses on something else.
Deboro said expressionlessly: "Lord Lyle is the inventor of the android, there is no design team, he is our only creator. ”
"Of course, the 'humans on the moon' that the parasitic troops falsely claim does not exist at all." Bopolo added.
"What!?" 9S exclaimed, the previous statement was acceptable, and the latter had destroyed the faith he had always held. I just turned my head to communicate with my partner, but found that 2B reacted completely differently from myself, "Miss 2B, why don't you seem surprised at all?" ”
"............" 2B was silent, if it weren't for Lyle's existence to change everything from the root, it is estimated that at this moment she would have figured out a way to eliminate all the androids present who knew the news.
"Hmph~ It turns out that there is an insider here." Lyle looked 2B up and down and chuckled, "Although I already knew the answer, I didn't even have to convince others now, can I ask you to explain if necessary?" ”
2B fell silent again, but this time there was finally an end, and he nodded slowly: "...... Humans have the highest priority for commands, and that's how my AI sets it. ”
Executioners disguised as combatants are finally freed from their mournful mission.

"I've been so rude these days, Lord Lyle." The analysis process took some time, and the results can be known from the current attitude of Commander Ah Wu.
"It's nothing, I was deliberately lurking~" Because of his joint actions with his twin sisters, Lyle was also treated indifferently by everyone, but Ah Wu's troop management was good, and Lyle was not subjected to substantial bullying, so he naturally wouldn't be disgruntled now, "Excuse me, can I borrow your communication equipment?" ”
"Of course, all the equipment and supplies in the stronghold are at your disposal." Unlike 9S, who was a grassroots member of the Jiye Army, Ah Wu didn't seem to be very comfortable with the tone of the subordinates, and he seemed a little awkward when he replied.
However, the inner thoughts are not much worse, after all, the setting of artificial intelligence is like this.
Lyle walked up to the telecommunications device, pointed to it and asked, "Can this telecommunications device send audio or video recordings to all android strongholds at once?" ”
"Yes, just go through the emergency communication channel." Ah Wu stepped forward to help set it up, and said a little embarrassed, "...... Actually, I've already sent the message out. ”
On the one hand, the news of the [discovery of humans on the ground] is worthy of using the emergency communication channel to encourage all androids, and on the other hand, Lyle's identity verification process requires more researchers, and the colony does not have scientists who are skilled in studying species that have disappeared for thousands of years.
(beep, beep) a notification sound comes from the communicator.
"It's a communication application from the Leaf Army." Ah Wu consulted Lyle for advice.
"Reject it first." For the time being, Lyle still does not know what kind of attitude the senior management of the Leaf Sending Force has towards him, and it is not ruled out that the other party intends to clear himself as an obstacle, and he will fulfill his first promise before this - to tell the truth about the year and clear the charge of Deboro and Boboro.
Ah Wu had no objection to this, and after completing the setting, he gave up his position and stretched out his hand to signal: "Lord Lyle, you can start, all the strongholds can receive the signal smoothly at present, and there is no signal interference generated by mechanical lifeforms." ”
Lyle stepped forward, organized the language in his chest, and said in the tone of a storyteller as much as he could, "My name is 'Lyle', and I have only recently been rescued from a cryogenic device buried in an underground laboratory buried in the desert, and I would like to ask you to put down your work and listen to my story in a thousand years-" The Diagram of the Heavenly Dao
