"The steward of the final fortress? Are you human or what? ”

"Master, I'm not a human, I'm an AI." Hologram said.

It is a simple human form, with no distinction between male and female, and its voice is also a mechanical and monotonous electronic synthesis.

"AI, is humanity extinct?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

The name Fortress suggests something.

"Humanity is not extinct, you are human, master." AI said.

Xia Yanzhen shook his head slightly: "I mean except for me." ”

"Human beings in the narrow sense of the word no longer exist. Humans in the broadest sense of the word are still alive, but in the normal definition, they are no longer human. The AI replied.

Only people like Xia Yanzhen are considered humans, and they are also regarded as masters by AI.

It's the same as reviving robots.

Xia Yanzhen, human, pure!

"Tell me what happened to this world and why humanity became extinct." Xia Yanzhen said.

"Yes, master."

AI began to tell.

Originally, in this world, the development of human beings is the same as the real world, taking the route of science and technology.

Technology has advanced to the point where it transcends the real world, and things like exoskeletons and mechs have been developed.

Then, suddenly, the aura revived.

As a result, the entire human society is two-pronged, and it is to engage in mecha and to attribute its power to itself, and to combine the two.

It's like the "Ancient Martial Mecha" classification.

Chaos and opportunity coexist, and in the world of great contention, human beings are moving forward rapidly.

In the one hundred and twenty-eighth year of Reiki's revival, an accident happened.

The group of people with the highest cultivation in the world suddenly mutated and turned into swelling flesh monsters.

Their flesh and blood have a chaotic self-will, out of the grip of their brains.

That's when humans realized that something wasn't right.

The absorbed aura, while strengthening the body, also alienates its own flesh and blood, turning it into a strange "living thing".

Reiki is poisonous!

Flesh Activation!

All kinds of crazy flesh monsters appear frequently.

It's not an external enemy, it's a mutation of flesh and blood, an enemy from within the body, which can't be stopped at all.

Your hand will suddenly speak and give you a slap.

It thinks of itself as another you.

My left hand has its own thoughts.

How can this be stopped? Is it really chopping hands?

Even if you chop your hands, tomorrow your feet will have their own ideas.

In the crazy mutation, the society that had been divided by the revival of the aura, but the relatively stable society no longer existed.

Order completely collapsed.

Chaos erupted, and people began to kill each other.

Humanity has entered the last days.

The chaos lasted for a long time, and the surviving humans built the final fortress, trying to use machinery to limit the mutation of flesh.

It's like putting a shackle on a mentally ill person.

This situation, to a certain extent, restricts the growth and reproduction of flesh and blood, but it cannot prevent the birth of chaotic will in flesh and blood.

The survivors finally made a decision to keep the only head on their body that could still make their own decisions.

The rest of the body, all the parts are destroyed.

The survivors formed a special "brain in a vat".

However, the extreme state of the brain in the vat did not last long.

Their brains also began to mutate and swell, and eventually became the chaotic and crazy brains that Xia Yanzhen had seen.

It was an aggregation of the chaotic consciousness of the survivors.

Barely human beings in the broad sense, and human beings in the narrow sense no longer exist.

The same goes for including animals.

The revival of Reiki benefits not only human beings, but in the end, the fate of those flesh-and-blood animals is no different from that of human beings.

The world has changed into what Xia Yanzhen saw now.

All sorts of chaotic "mechanical beasts", with metal mecha on the outside and flesh on the inside.

The aura is still there, and it is the source of the activities of these automatons.

An important reason for this phenomenon is that those mutated flesh and blood have "their own ideas", and there are not so many.

Strictly speaking, they are not independent individuals at all, they think for themselves or whatever.

Rather, it's a bunch of chaotic wills.

In this case, the "crazy brain" that has maintained a relative sanity is in the upper position, and belongs to the upper level of flesh and blood.

It retains its own shape, mecha (clothes) and other thoughts, and has influenced other flesh and blood, and has gradually developed into its current form.

Without this crazy brain.

What Xia Yanzhen saw would be a mass of wriggling flesh and blood, not the messy "flesh and blood intelligent machine" that is now in chaos.

"What's the deal with revival robots?" Xia Yanzhen continued to ask.

The origin of the intelligent machine is basically clear.

It is completely different from what the revival robot says, but there are also subtle similarities.

For example, the intrinsic nature of intelligent machines is indeed the culprit that caused the demise of mankind.

But the culprit is not AI, but "mutated flesh".

So, what about revival robots, and what is their origin?

"I don't know."

The AI replied, "It seems that they came out of nowhere, and when they came out, they kept fighting with the flesh and blood machines, and they couldn't communicate, they couldn't communicate." Annoying like cockroaches, rats. ”

"So every once in a while there will be a rodent extermination operation?"

"Yes, it's a decision made by the 'mastermind'."

"Outside brains?"

"That's right."

"That big head wants to attack me." Xia Yanzhen said.

"The Mastermind craves flesh, especially you, Master, the only survivor of humanity." Said the new figure.

Xia Yanzhen asked, "How can you be sure that I am a real human and not those 'rats', I mean revival robots." ”

Outwardly, he is no different from the revival robot.

It's also comparable in terms of good-looking.

"I have the ability to discern real human beings and will not be deceived." The AI said, then bowed again, "Master, as the last human, the only survivor, please also activate the 'Final Fall'." ”

"What is the final fall?"

"One resolution, one plan." AI said.

"Plan?"

"Yes, before descending into complete madness, the surviving humans passed a resolution - the final fall. Once activated, it will self-destruct and die with dignity as a human being. AI said.

It will not be reduced to a mess of meat.

It is equivalent to being bitten by a zombie and committing suicide before mutating.

The resolution was passed, but it was never implemented.

It may be that at the last minute, the executor retreated, which led to the current situation.

In the judgment of the AI, the final fall should be carried out, but it takes a real human to carry it out.

"This eventual fall won't make me die too, will it?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"No, it won't."

AI explains.

It states that when the Fall was passed, it was assumed that they were the last humans to remain self-conscious, and that the Fall was therefore only aimed at them, and that no foreign survivors would be killed.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Enter the underground control room and press the mechanical button of 'Final Fall' in human body." AI said.

"Can't you?"

"I'm just an AI at the service of humanity, master. You can't get into the main control room, let alone do it. "When it finally falls, so will I." ”

"Where's the main control room?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

The ground not far ahead, opens up, revealing a downward path.

"Follow this path and you'll get to the main control room." AI answers.

"Hmm."

Xia Yanzhen nodded, but did not move.

"Master?"

After a while, the AI spoke with confusion.

"Oh, I just thought, can you make the Gundam outside?"

"Gundam? Do you mean guard-type machines? The AI said, "I can build and repair the outer mechs." However, the inner core is mutated flesh, and without mutated flesh it is impossible to form a new guard machine. ”

"I'll just need the shell and get me a Gundam."

Xia Yanzhen said.

There are only a few days left in the clock, and I wonder if I can get some wool from this AI and bring a Gundam back.

It should be ok.

Don't forget, before the aura was revived, the humans of this world were working on exoskeleton mechas.

"Master, do you need an exoskeleton?" AI asked.

"Yes."

"The fortress has some mechs in stock that are suitable for human use...... Please follow the instructions. The AI said, opening another door.

Xia Yanzhen entered through the door, and after a long and winding passage, he came to a very spacious room.

It's like a showroom.

There are a lot of pre-apocalyptic items on display, including several mechs.

There is no hologram device here, and AI uses voice to introduce it to Xia Yanzhen.

Xia Yanzhen walked over, the first mecha was that kind of standard exoskeleton, which belonged to the primary mecha, connected by metal pipes, not fully wrapped armor.

The second mecha is a full package similar to Iron Man.

But it's only an experimental trial version, and the agency is very poor, and it's 108,000 miles away from the real Iron Man armor.

It can only be said that it is better than the cos suit.

After all, the humanoid mecha to be worn on the body is itself a "romantic fantasy".

According to normal development, mecha will only become a toy for a few rich people and a special tool for a few occasions.

And at this time, the aura was revived.

As a result, the third mecha that Xia Yanzhen saw appeared.

The appearance of this mecha is very similar to the black Gundam that Xia Yanzhen saw, but it does not have the steel wings spread out behind it.

Instead, behind their backs, two giant swords of more than two meters in the shape of an X.

Xia Yanzhen took off the giant sword and found that it was the giant sword he had used—and it was a version of the high-frequency blade.

The size of the mecha is naturally not large, with a height of more than two meters, and it is for people to wear, not the type to enter the control.

According to the AI, this is the first generation of mechs after entering the revival of Reiki.

This mech is made of extremely heavy and sturdy metal, and is powered only by the human being.

The activity is carried out through a purely mechanical structure.

After putting it on, how the person moves, the mecha will move.

But after ordinary people enter, it is basically the same as entering an iron coffin.

Only after the revival of the aura, the person who has strengthened the body can control it.

Don't look at the appearance is very handsome, in fact, it is equivalent to a human tank.

The revival of the aura in this world is taking the route of "the flesh is king", and everyone will have great strength.

It is flesh and blood that grows.

It will not be until much later that there will be abilities beyond "infinite power".

It's a pity that at that time, the poison carried in the aura exploded, and human beings finally failed to get out of the path outside of "infinite power".

This mecha is actually an armor that sacrifices a little mobility and greatly increases its defense.

When it comes to the fourth mecha, it's the True Gundam.

Except that it is smaller in size, it is basically the same as the Gundam Intelligence.

The driving force is the aura, which requires the driver to act as a transit to absorb and pour the aura into the mecha.

The first two mechs are not equipped, and the third and fourth Gundams of various sizes are.
