Video Games: Starting From Resident Evil

As usual, laying down with clothes on, Aiden used his arm as a pillow, closed his eyes and began to pretend to sleep, but after a while, he still did not fall asleep. As long as he closed his eyes, he would uncontrollably recall 2B's words, and in the end, he had no choice but to open his eyes and stare at the ceiling, using it to empty his thoughts.

He didn't know how much time had passed, outside the bedroom the sounds of doors opening and closing gradually rang out, the twin sisters seemed to have left. After that, the sound of running water rang out one after another, and then, A2 lay down beside him...

———

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

During this time, 9S, who had been investigating Pascal's Village alone, also returned. It's just that during this period he had no results at all, and did not discover any abnormalities in Pascal's Village. However, he was not willing to give up, and even planned to rest for a while before going to investigate Pascal's Village again.

No one, including 2B, objected. Aiden even specially went to find 9S and told him he could help him build a house near Pascal's Village to save him the trouble of running back and forth.

However, Aiden's idea was quickly dashed. On the second day after 9S returned, the Bunker suddenly issued new orders to 2B and 9S.

In the City Ruins near the camp, a large mechanical weapon Engels and a large number of mechanical lifeforms had appeared, and they were to immediately go to intercept.

When they received the news, it was afternoon. Aiden first felt very regretful, after all, he had already prepared his axe.

After that, he felt something was off. Although in the game, Engels appears right after Pascal's Village's storyline, based on the plot timeline, its appearance seemed to be earlier than expected.

Amid his doubts, Aiden threw away the custom axe he had gotten from the twin sisters, then quickly went to Anemone's command center to rendezvous with 2B and the others.

[City Ruins]

At the top of a tall building, a long table covered in a white cloth appeared. On the long table, candle holders with candles inserted were lined up.

On either side of the long table sat two people, the humanoid mechanical lifeform brothers, Adam and Eve.

At this moment, in front of the two brothers was a plate of food, it was a steak still dripping with blood.

"Brother, this outfit is really uncomfortable!" Eve tugged at the tie on his chest, seemingly having trouble breathing from how tightly it was tied.

"You have to get used to it. We are much stronger than humans. If they can get used to it, so can you."

Although Adam also found it uncomfortable. As the elder brother, he was obviously much more composed than Eve. After speaking, he used his knife and fork to cut a piece of beef and put it into his mouth to chew.

Eve looked at the beef on his plate, then looked at his brother's face of enjoyment, not understanding what was so delicious about it. As mechanical lifeforms, they didn't need to eat at all. So he said, "We're not even human, why do we have to get used to it?"

"You must get used to it." Upon hearing Eve's words, Adam suddenly said in a harsh tone.

But upon seeing Eve's suddenly wronged expression, his tone softened again, saying, "Right now we are not, but that doesn't mean we won't be in the future. From now on, you must treat yourself like a human, go study, go adapt to their lifestyle habits."

"Why?" Eve looked at Adam with some confusion.

Adam only glanced at him and didn't answer.

"Fine, I'll try my best to adapt." Eve nodded with a miserable face, then also began using knife and fork to cut the beef on his plate like Adam.

Just as he was struggling to cut the beef, a loud noise came from the distance. His attention was immediately drawn away, he quickly put down his knife and fork and got up to look in that direction.

Over there, was a large-scale mechanical weapon tens of meters high, Engels. It was wantonly destroying the surrounding buildings.

"Brother, do you think they'll come?" After watching for a while, Eve turned around and asked Adam.

"Of course they will." Adam said with a smile. Then as if sensing something, he raised his head to look into the distance and continued, "They… have arrived."

———

In the sky not far from the City Ruins, several flying machines were rushing forward at high speed.

However, 2B and 9S were riding special combat aircraft provided by the Bunker, while Aiden and the others were riding old-style single-soldier flying machines prepared by Anemone. These had no weapons onboard, and could only be used for travel.

When they were about one kilometer away from the City Ruins, they stopped and began looking for a place to land.

"Looks like the Bunker's intel is pretty accurate this time. There really is only one Engels." As soon as he landed on the ground, 9S said. Engels' massive body could be seen from far away, and since the City Ruins was on land, with no surrounding water, it couldn't be like last time where Engels was hiding underwater. So his expression was quite relaxed.

"If we take it down, we can still make it back before dinner." 2B also said lightly.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think." Aiden frowned. He saw only one Engels, not the two that appeared in the game.

Moreover, the early appearance of Engels definitely meant something else was going on. So he looked toward Yakor who had come along.

Yakor slightly shook her head. She didn't know either. Nowadays, she could no longer clearly see what the future would become.

A2 had already drawn her longsword at this point. She brushed the blade with her hand, then gave 9S a cold glance and said, "Whether it's easy or hard, let's just get rid of it quickly."

When she was called to join the battle earlier that afternoon, she had been cooking using a recipe from the twin sisters. Being suddenly summoned had really annoyed her, and her mood was foul, which made her gaze toward 9S even more unpleasant.

In her opinion, before 9S returned, their life had been peaceful and cozy. But ever since 9S came back, trouble followed. She thought it was his return that caused all this.

9S felt uneasy from A2's cold look. He didn't understand what he had done to offend her. But now wasn't the time to think about it, as soon as A2 finished speaking, she and 2B rushed into the City Ruins.

The group moved quickly through the streets, casually disposing of mechanical lifeforms that appeared along the way. Of course, "casually" was mostly because A2 didn't want to leave a single one alive. As long as mechanical lifeforms appeared, she would charge at them and slaughter them like chopping vegetables.

"What's with her?" Watching A2 suddenly return to the personality she had when they first met, Aiden's eyelids twitched in shock, quietly asking Yakor beside him.

Yakor looked at him in confusion. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

"Fair enough." Aiden also knew he asked the wrong person, and helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

Fortunately, A2's change only seemed to apply to mechanical lifeforms. After taking out another batch of brainless machines, she noticed Aiden's concerned gaze and returned a smile as if to say she was doing fine.

With that, Aiden breathed a sigh of relief. A2 was still the same A2, she hadn't reverted to her old self.

Aiden, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, refocused on the current situation. While thinking about what might happen, he also observed the surroundings, but apart from the crazed mechanical lifeforms attacking them, he found nothing else.

As the group moved deeper into the City Ruins, the mechanical lifeforms attacking them grew in number. They surged from every street like a tide, and even leapt down like rain from buildings on either side.

Except for Yakor, all the androids joined the battle, including Aiden.

The G3-Predator and aerial combat robot "Whirlwind" he summoned played a huge role against the sea of mechanical life. The G3 Predator could auto-lock and attack, and Whirlwind had endless missiles, bombarding the surrounding streets over and over, yet even so, the number of mechanical lifeforms didn't decrease.

This completely exceeded everyone's expectations and raised Aiden's alertness.

Although mechanical lifeforms on Blue Star were far more numerous than androids, most were scattered. A portion of them gathered near mechanical life factories, and to form a mechanical lifeform sea like what they now faced, would require at least ten large factories worth of units gathered together.

But most mechanical lifeforms lacked independent thought. To gather them like this, there had to be a leader.

Thinking of this, Aiden first thought of the Forest Kingdom, that mechanical tribe with a class hierarchy.

'But… could their king really command this kind of force?'

Thinking of how easily that king was killed by A2 in the game, Aiden shook his head. 'It couldn't be it. If not it, then… it could only be those two. Adam… and… Eve.'

Although he knew the brothers evolved quickly, this fast still seemed unreasonable. Besides, they seemed more interested in imitating humans, or becoming like them, not really showing a sense of belonging to the mechanical life. So Aiden was hesitant again.

After much effort, they finally arrived before the large mechanical weapon Engels.

At this time, the machine was still standing in its original spot. All the surrounding buildings had been destroyed, like it had been venting its boredom.

"When we arrived, this guy was already standing here, and now it still hasn't moved. It's like it's waiting for us." 2B looked at Engels and frowned.

Androids may be simple-minded, but they're not stupid. She could see something was wrong at a glance.

9S nodded. He thought so too, but considering they'd come all this way and gone through so much trouble, they couldn't just leave over a bad feeling. So he said, "2B, don't overthink it. Maybe it's just your imagination. Besides, isn't it better if it doesn't run? Saves us the trouble of chasing it. Let's go while we can."

2B hesitated, but still rushed forward with her sword. Her support pod opened fire on Engels.

A2 and 11B didn't rush in with them. They glanced at Aiden, who was currently sharing vision with the aerial robot Whirlwind in the sky, searching the area and not noticing their gaze. So the two of them looked at each other, then chose to assist 2B in attacking Engels.

"Aiden, any discoveries?" Yakor asked, seeing Aiden's pupils almost shrunken to pinpoints.

Aiden shook his head slightly. Because of the battle, dust filled the air. Both visual observation and Whirlwind's sensors were heavily interfered with. He couldn't find anything.

After searching a bit longer, Aiden was just about to cut off visual sharing, when suddenly, he saw a patch of unusual white on the roof of a building. His heart skipped a beat. He immediately controlled Whirlwind to fly over, and then saw a long rectangular table covered with white cloth on the rooftop, with still-burning candles and half-eaten steak on it.

"Looks like it really is them... and they know how to enjoy themselves. Just missing a bottle of wine. Hmph, just a crude imitation of humans."

Looking at the items on the table, Aiden curled his lip and said with disdain. Then he ended the visual share, and his pupils instantly returned to normal.

Hearing his words, Yakor asked, "Did you find something?"

"A dining table," Aiden replied.

"Dining table… Adam and Eve?" Yakor quickly realized.

Aiden nodded. While commanding Whirlwind to attack Engels, he said, "They probably knew we'd come, so they were waiting there in advance."
