Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Orbital Drop
At the same time, the Bunker was in chaos. White looked at the data sent by the pod and suddenly stood up from her chair.
Elegant for hundreds of years, she shouted for the first time in a sharp and piercing voice, "Notify all androids, full mobilization! At all costs, go to the surface and rescue our Creator!"
At the same time she shouted, alarm bells rang loudly throughout the entire Bunker. Except for the O-type androids stationed at communication posts who had to stay at their positions, all other types of androids began to move, including those currently under maintenance and inspection.
There were also many androids who, at first, didn't know the real situation. While equipping themselves, they asked their companions nearby. Once they learned that a human had appeared on the surface, was surrounded by mechanical lifeforms, and was under threat of death, they immediately sped up.
Within less than a minute after the command was issued, all capable androids in the Bunker boarded combat aircraft. Moreover, due to the lack of sufficient resources in the Bunker, quite a few transport ships had already become overloaded, but the androids didn't care.
With a single order, aircraft after aircraft was launched from the launch bay, shooting out like a meteor shower, quickly breaking through the atmosphere.
White also set out. Although she was a command-type android and not adept in combat, the safety of humans came above all else, especially the only surviving human. For humanity, she could give anything, let alone fight, even die.
Just before departure, she continued issuing orders. "Send the message that humans still exist to all orbital bases, including the androids at the Moon's human base. After all their years of studying human-serving techniques, it's time they were put to use."
"And also, notify the resistance camp near the City Ruins, have Anemone bring all the androids there to provide support at the City Ruins. Ugh, she really is dumb. A human stayed with her for so long, and she didn't even know."
After grumbling at Anemone, White put on her tactical helmet. Then, at the moment of launching the aircraft, she shouted over the public communication channel, "Androids, fight for humanity, may humanity's glory live forever!"
Afterward, the aircraft launched.

[Resistance Camp, Command Center]
Anemone looked at the 3D sand-table projection in front of her, slowly furrowing her brows. She had just received a report from the front-line scouts that a large number of mechanical lifeforms had gathered in the City Ruins, which made her worried about Number Two and the others.
'Number Two, you all must be safe,' Anemone thought with deep concern.
"If you're worried, should we send someone to support them, and also scout the next movement of the mechanical lifeforms?" Kaine was also in the command center and had noticed Anemone's concern.
"Let's wait a bit more." Anemone said. In any case, she still had faith in Number Two's strength.
"All right then." Kaine shrugged, then walked out of the command center, she was going back to stake out near Aiden's residence.
A few days ago, after noticing Aiden had many human habits, she rented a place near his residence and began long-term observation. Although this was an unethical peeping act, and the stakeout process was incredibly boring, hard for her personality to bear, she still persisted to gather more information. In the end, she even found a bit of enjoyment in it.
But just as she hadn't gone far, the command center's communicator suddenly rang, and the voice coming from it made her stop in her tracks.
[This is the Bunker Command Center. A top-level emergency order is now being broadcast. Please listen carefully.]
Beep…
[I am Commander White of the Bunker. We've discovered a human in the City Ruins. Right now, he is surrounded by mechanical lifeforms and is in imminent danger.]
[All androids receiving this order are to immediately head to the City Ruins to provide support, and rescue our creator at all costs. Additionally, any android who receives this order and does not carry it out will be destroyed as guilty of betraying humanity… So, all of you, head to the City Ruins and carry out the rescue.]
[May humanity's glory live forever.]
After hearing the message from the communicator, Anemone and Kaine looked at each other. Then, Anemone immediately pressed the command center's alarm. Instantly, sharp sirens rang throughout the resistance camp.
Kaine reacted even faster. After coming to her senses, she had already gotten into a nearby vehicle and was speeding off toward the City Ruins.
Outside the command center, several resistance leaders who heard the alarm rushed in. But before they could speak, they heard Anemone shout, "Get every able android in the camp moving, grab your weapons, head to the City Ruins. There's a human there, a human!"
After shouting, she picked up her weapon and dashed out of the command center.
The entire resistance camp was instantly mobilized. Regardless of whether they were combat models or not, they picked up weapons and boarded all sorts of vehicles, heading toward the City Ruins.
Watching the resistance act like they'd gone crazy, the twin sisters who were resting at home were puzzled. As androids who had been ostracized, no one had even told them what had happened.
Popola looked at the androids running past continuously in front of her. Strong curiosity made her stop one of them and ask, "What happened? What is everyone doing?"
That android, upon seeing it was the twin sisters, originally didn't want to speak, but remembering the commander's orders, he said, "A human appeared in the City Ruins. The commander wants us to go support."
"What?" Hearing this, Popola was completely stunned. Then, turning her head toward her sister, she saw she was already rummaging through the boxes, searching for the weapons they had hidden.

While the androids were launching a fiery mobilization, at the same time, inside the City Ruins, it was silent.
Except for Yakor, A2 and the others, along with Adam and Eve, all turned to look at Aiden, their eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Especially A2. Right now, she was both shocked and overjoyed. Shocked that the lover who had shared the same bed with her was actually human, and the only human at that. Even as a special-type android, she still had a momentary crash.
And the joy? It was exactly the same as the shock, her beloved was human, and had been so close with her. The joy was so overwhelming she didn't even dare imagine it further.
But very soon, she also realized something, that Aiden's identity had been exposed at the wrong time. They were currently surrounded by layers of mechanical lifeforms.
Thinking of this, A2 immediately shouted to 2B, "2B, 11B, protect Aiden!"
In fact, she didn't need to remind them, 2B was already acting. She grabbed Aiden, who was holding his sword and preparing to launch another attack at Adam, and pressed him tightly into her arms. Then she said to him, "Aiden, you must not fight again. We will protect you."
11B also withdrew from her fight with Eve and came to Aiden's side. She didn't speak, just held her sword across her chest, eyes filled with unwavering determination.
On the opposite side, Adam and Eve were also frowning as they looked at Aiden. Their level of surprise was no less than the androids', perhaps even more.
According to the information they had obtained, humanity had clearly been wiped out. The human base on the Moon was also empty. But now, a living human stood right in front of them.
"Well then, I had some regrets about not having a human for research. Now, that regret can come to an end." After a moment of silence, Adam said slowly.
But standing not far in front of him, A2 pointed her long sword at him from a distance and coldly said, "I will use my life to protect Aiden. Until I die, I will never let you harm him."
"Doesn't sound like it's for protecting him, sounds more like a declaration of love."
Hearing A2's words, Adam's gaze shifted between the two, then tasted a trace of unusual meaning, he thought of the love stories between humans he had once seen.
Immediately, he said with considerable interest, "Since that's the case, then let me see, to what extent, for love, you are able to go! However, before that, I hope the one you love, that human, can last until you fall."
Once those words were spoken, Adam raised his hand, pointed at Aiden, and shouted in a commanding tone, "Capture him."
Then, the mechanical lifeforms surrounding them began the second wave of attack.
As for him and Eve, they charged toward A2. In their eyes, among this group, aside from Aiden, the one with the strongest combat power was A2. As long as they took her down, the others would be of no threat.
As for Aiden, whose strength was equal to or even capable of suppressing his own, Adam didn't take him seriously, because he had already seen clearly that as long as the androids weren't all dead, those androids absolutely wouldn't let Aiden make a move again.
But unexpectedly, the A2 who had just been making declarations didn't choose to engage them in battle. Instead, she turned and ran toward Aiden's side, shouting at everyone, "Run!"
Then she swung her sword, cutting down a swath of mechanical lifeforms, opening a path for everyone.
2B and 11B, who were prepared to fight to the death, were stunned when they heard A2's voice. Then they immediately reacted, one left and one right supporting Aiden, following behind A2.
Given the current situation, fighting head-on definitely wouldn't work, that would be courting death. And just now the support pod had already reported the news that Aiden was human back to the Bunker.
The Bunker would definitely send people over, so what they needed to do now was hold on until the Bunker's reinforcements arrived.
"Want to hold out until the android reinforcements arrive? Hmph, it won't be that easy." Adam saw through their intention at a glance. However, he wasn't in a hurry, he figured that even with android speed, it would still take an hour. And that one hour was enough for him to kill A2 and the others, and capture Aiden.
And Aiden, who was being supported by 2B and 11B as they ran, of course understood what they were trying to do. He also understood that it was the best choice.
He just really wasn't used to being held like this, so he spoke up, "I only suffered a light injury, my legs still work, let me down and I'll run myself."
But 11B and 2B acted as if they hadn't heard, firmly refusing to let go, and even tightened their grip further, afraid that Aiden would struggle free.
Aiden was a bit helpless at once. But he also knew, the androids were doing what they believed was protecting him.
However, inside the City Ruins, mechanical lifeforms were everywhere. Not to mention there were massive mechanical weapons like Engels, and the blocking force of Adam and Eve, who possessed spatial teleportation abilities, after running for only a short while, the group was blocked.
Seeing the mechanical lifeforms swarming in from all directions, A2 fought desperately to hold them back, while 11B and 2B also released Aiden and, along with A2, formed a triangle-shaped formation, guarding Aiden in the center.
But as Adam and Eve joined the battle, A2 and the others began to struggle to hold them off. Yet even so, they still refused to let Aiden fight.
"If androids are still alive, and we still let a human take action, then that's our failure." That was 2B's original words.
To that, Aiden said nothing. He simply switched back to Mechanical Heart, summoning all the robots he could summon.
However, just like the earlier Gale, they were instantly blown into fragments by countless lasers and plasma balls. Only the G0 War Lord summoned in a burst managed to withstand the concentrated fire.
Seeing the situation become increasingly critical, Yakor, who stood beside Aiden, gritted her teeth hard, then pulled out a notebook.
This notebook possessed many special abilities, it could even erase part of the plot in the timeline. But the price was extremely high. Once used, the lowest price would be being expelled from this world, and once expelled, she basically wouldn't be able to return.
If it were before, she naturally wouldn't have cared. But now, she hesitated, she didn't want to leave this world.
But if she didn't use it, Aiden would be in danger. After hesitating for a while, she still slowly opened the notebook.
Yet just as she picked up the pen, ready to write, she suddenly sensed something, then looked up at the sky.
At this moment, above the City Ruins, countless points of light appeared, but Yakor knew that each point of light represented an android.
The Bunker's reinforcements had arrived.
In truth, Adam and Eve had underestimated the action speed of human military androids. Under orders to spare nothing, the androids didn't care about equipment loss.
They pushed through the atmosphere at maximum output, and regardless of the damage supersonic speed might cause to android bodies, they ordered all aircraft to fly full speed toward the City Ruins. So the hour that Adam had estimated was forcibly shortened to twenty minutes.
"Commander, before landing, should we perform a bombing run?"
Among the rapidly descending androids, a B-type android asked in the communication channel.
Due to the high-speed breakthrough of the atmosphere, many burns appeared on her body. White shook her head, "Bombing might harm humans, that's not a cost we can afford. Inform everyone, prepare for close-quarters combat."
"Understood."
At that moment, the androids were getting closer and closer to the ground. White slowly drew her sword and shouted on the public channel, "Glory to mankind."
"Glory to mankind."
All the androids shouted in unison.
