Because she was the first model manufactured, no cost or technology was spared to test her maximum performance; her strength was overwhelmingly superior to the old-era android resistance and the subsequent mass-produced Wakaba units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the underlying logical framework for which she was created had only one purpose...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Protect humanity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conduct special operations against the machine lifeforms on Earth, change the war situation that had persisted for over five thousand years, help the humans on the Moon win this desperate war, and finally, allow humanity to return to Earth to ensure the eternal glory of mankind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the sole meaning of her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, during one mission, she discovered a fact that horrified her to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was that the lunar humans had perished thousands of years ago. The so-called Lunar Human Council was actually a facade created by the highest central hub of the androids—a lie fabricated to keep the morale of all androids from collapsing, a curtain covering the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, A1 lost her motivation to move forward. She didn't even know what the meaning of her existence was, so facing everything with passivity became her choice; she didn't even care if the Wakaba Unit caught up to dispose of her and format her data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity... was already gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this instant, she saw Wu Pifu covered in wounds, saw the flesh, internal organs, and bones pulsing within those wounds, and saw that pure, flawless physical body, devoid of any mechanical structure...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With seven consecutive sonic booms, A1 and the six members of the Wakaba Unit rushed into the camp almost faster than they could think. Each unleashed their maximum speed and condensed their most suitable melee weapons via their support units. But before they could even reach the battlefield, Wu Pifu had already raised his Heroic Spirit Broken Blade and completely dismantled the giant machine lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked a thousand meters long and dozens of meters thick, but when Wu Pifu truly got serious—or rather, he didn't even need to be that serious—the blade light he swung reached a diameter of over thirty meters. With just a sweep around the monster, the massive mechanical creature began to crumble into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 and the other six members slowed down as they ran, then stopped outside the camp. For a moment, they looked at each other, seeing both questions and longing in each other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One warm-looking man said: \"...Has a human really returned to Earth from the Moon? Why didn't the General Command notify us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beauty with twin tails, a miniskirt, and suspender stockings said: \"The key question now is, is he... really a human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was silent. A beauty with long black hair, a miniskirt, and suspender stockings in the team said: \"We indeed all saw his wounded flesh and internal body, but his healing speed was too fast. According to the information we know, humans cannot achieve such a healing speed. The laser barrage just now would have been fatal to a human. And did you notice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...He didn't use a support unit to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the reason all of them stopped. Although the moment they saw Wu Pifu's wounded flesh, their underlying logic triggered an unimaginable protective instinct, but with Wu Pifu's abnormal healing speed and his combat power, which could simply be called heaven-defying, everyone, including A1, stopped in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the six Wakaba Unit members suddenly all looked at A1. A1's reaction was very direct; she held her cold weapon, which resembled both a spear and a gun, horizontally, and said coldly: \"I don't want to be disposed of anymore. If you want to kill me, then let's fight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six did not move immediately but looked at each other. Then, the beauty with twin tails, a miniskirt, and suspender stockings stepped forward half a step and said: \"A1, I am B8. I want to confirm, how did you find this human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 was silent for a moment and said: \"It wasn't me finding him, but a sudden encounter. I suspect it might be him who found me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six looked at each other, and B8 asked again: \"Can you confirm he is human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 shook her head and said: \"I cannot confirm, but clearly, he is different from us—different structure, different weapons and power used in combat. At the same time, he is also different from the machine lifeforms—different structure, and the weapons and power used in combat are also different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this Earth, a creature that looks like a human, speaks like a human, has logic like a human, and has a body structure like a human, yet is neither an android like them nor an alien species like the machine lifeforms—then isn't this creature... a human?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the beauty with long black hair, a miniskirt, and suspender stockings hesitated and said: \"But his body's healing speed is clearly abnormal, and this combat power is also clearly strange. I cannot confirm what kind of weapon he is using. Even my calculation hub tells me that all of this is his physical strength... This is definitely not a human!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six all nodded, only A1 showed hesitation. After a few seconds, she suddenly said: \"Perhaps... this is what a real human is like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six looked at her. A1 said: \"What I am about to say is the reason I was judged a traitor by the command center and was to be purged. If you listen, you might also be hunted and disposed of. So... are you sure you want to continue listening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six looked at each other, and B8 asked: \"Does it concern humanity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 nodded. The six looked at each other again, then all nodded firmly to her in confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 said: \"The reason I am being hunted is because I inadvertently learned a secret... There are no humans left on the Moon. Thousands of years ago, during this war with the machine lifeforms, humanity already perished on the Moon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six felt dizzy and immediately retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 ignored them and calmly continued: \"The current Human Council is a disguise by the Android Unified Information Processing Hub. The establishment of our Wakaba Unit is actually to cover up the truth that humans have long since died. This is a curtain covering the truth, and we are the curtain itself—tools to kill any android who might leak the curtain and to continue covering up the truth, thereby boosting the morale of all androids in the resistance... This is the truth I want to tell you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six felt dizzy, and the calculation hubs in their brains were buzzing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This intelligence was completely beyond their imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intelligence they received from the Wakaba Unit Command Center was that the vanguard prototype A1 had likely been contaminated by a machine lifeform electronic virus, so she had become a traitor. At the same time, she possessed a large amount of core intelligence on the Wakaba Unit, and once she defected to the machine lifeforms, it would immediately lead to a massive collapse of the front line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the truth they learned from A1 now shattered their worldview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity... actually perished thousands of years ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what was the meaning of their fighting for these thousands of years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what were they protecting!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle man immediately said: \"If humanity has perished, then what is he? Why is he not on the Moon, but on Earth!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 remained calm as she analyzed and said: \"This is what I want to say. Humanity perished thousands of years ago, and everything we know was forged by the Android Unified Information Processing Hub. So... are the humans in our database really like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six vaguely thought of something. The beauty with long black hair, a miniskirt, and suspender stockings immediately asked: \"You mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps humans are such powerful creatures!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 said: \"When I inadvertently learned the truth behind the curtain, I lurked to continue investigating this truth. Then I found some historical records in the depths of the central network. The extinction of humanity does not seem to have been caused by machine lifeforms, but by a disease called the White Salt Plague. But there was no more information... I was originally disheartened, but now I recall. You say, if humanity was not exterminated by an alien invasion, but by a plague, then this explains everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six all looked at her. A1 said: \"Humanity itself is such a powerful species. Their physical healing speed is like this, and their physical strength is like this. It's just that the Android Unified Information Processing Hub, in order to cover up the truth of human extinction, had to fabricate information that humans were weak. The data on humans in our brain's database is all fake!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>B8 also nodded at this time and said: \"So that's it. According to your logical analysis, this is indeed very possible. Because humanity has long been extinct, the Android Unified Information Processing Hub set up a curtain to cover up this truth. But if we all knew the true strength and true power of humans, then there would be a serious logical contradiction... Since humans are so powerful and can easily crush machine lifeforms, why didn't they return from the Moon? And let the machine lifeforms ravage the Earth for thousands of years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle man's eyes also lit up, and he said urgently: \"So that's it! That's why the Android Unified Information Processing Hub had to fabricate those data about humans being weak. This makes sense logically, because humans were incomparably weak, and once they arrived on Earth, they would be easily killed by machine lifeforms, so they had to stay on the Moon. Understood, everything is understood...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 and the six members of the Wakaba Unit looked at each other, and they saw the answer in each other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humanity was exterminated by a plague. The Android Unified Information Processing Hub set up a curtain to cover up the truth and modified human physical fitness, making us think that humans thousands of years ago were very weak. But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could humans, who could become the masters of Earth and be called terrifying upright apes, be weak!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven looked with fanatical eyes at Wu Pifu, who was hacking the giant mechanical monster into mechanical meat paste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So ordinary humans are this powerful!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1781,"2026-06-17T19:10:57.806Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c478bfec580de4f1dbc90bb34ba4635d7466847e7dbadc5df07497d2fd824c44","eternal-nightmare-night-chapter-496","eternal-nightmare-night-chapter-494",602,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-nightmare-night-cover.jpg"]
