Only then did Wu Pifu breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I still lack large-scale attack methods...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu stood on the spot, silently reflecting on this battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Pifu was still full of confidence in his \"reckless man\" title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, it posed almost no threat to him. The reason he was injured by that laser was merely because he was caught off guard, and that laser was a close-range wide-area attack. Moreover, that laser was only a minor injury to him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real reason Wu Pifu was deep in thought was that he didn't have many attack moves for fighting large or super-large entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If described by combat type, Wu Pifu was definitely an anti-personnel combat type. Liang Min should be able to achieve anti-army or even anti-city levels, while Chu Minghao was definitely an anti-country, anti-planet, and anti-world combat type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This did not mean Wu Pifu was weak. In fact, although there was still a huge gap in strength between him and Liang Min and Chu Minghao, he was indeed catching up to them step by step. At the same time, as the number of times his Super Brain Awakening Program was executed increased, his super brain would be more powerful than theirs in the future. Even now, Liang Min and Chu Minghao would definitely not dare to let Wu Pifu within five steps of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Wu Pifu was best at anti-personnel, individual combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It seems I need to pay attention to improving range attacks next. It's a pity I didn't get the internal cultivation of Human Immortal Martial Arts; otherwise, if I practiced to become a Ghost Immortal, I would have attack range too.\" Wu Pifu muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Wu Pifu saw A1 and the other six Wakaba Unit members, each holding their weapons, about to enter the camp battlefield. However, it was not to surround him. Although Wu Pifu could not perceive their emotions, he could easily judge their combat targets. These seven handsome men and beautiful women were actually planning to fight side by side with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell, they were shouting to kill just a moment ago...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu was about to talk to the seven when his brow suddenly twitched, and he shouted directly at them: \"Back off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell, the ground burst open. From the place where the machine lifeform had emerged earlier, a source of light rushed out, tearing the ground apart while carrying Wu Pifu toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a silver-white humanoid existence over three meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body and facial features were seven or eight parts similar to a human's. Its whole body was silver-white with a streamlined physique. Its arms were sword blades, and it had metal wings on its back. Its movements were astonishingly fast, and its dual blades danced like the wind. An ordinary person might have been hacked into meat paste before even seeing the blade shadows. It took only a fraction of a second from rushing to attack Wu Pifu to clashing with the half-broken Heroic Spirit Broken Blade at least hundreds of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huge sounds accompanied by wind-breaking ripples spread out, and the whole earth was trembling. These spreading ripples roared and exploded like sonic weapons. Even elites of the Wakaba Unit like A1 could not withstand it. Their faces were horrified, and protective force fields appeared on their bodies, and they could only desperately resist the sonic roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the latest and strongest androids, they were unable to intervene in the battle between an ordinary human and a high-level machine lifeform!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this very moment, the high-level machine lifeform was roaring and laughing wildly, looking like a mental patient who had finally found their organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are human, right? You are human, right? You are human, right? You...\" Its simulated humanoid head kept making such roaring sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Of course I'm human!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu felt annoyed. He slashed horizontally and vertically with the Heroic Spirit Broken Blade, and his qi exploded, forcefully pushing away the machine lifeform's dual blades. Then he slapped its chest with one palm, causing a loud explosion. The qi exploded from behind it, forming a visible torrent of qi that rushed at least a thousand meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge gap exploded directly on the machine lifeform's chest. The qi surged and eroded, and ash-like diffusion began from this gap. The machine lifeform also fell to the ground, and a large amount of mechanical flesh immediately seeped from the ground to pour into the machine lifeform's wounds. However, it still could not stop the result of its chest gradually turning into ash; it could only slightly delay the destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, after the machine lifeform fell to the ground, it did not struggle but lay there looking at Wu Pifu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu fell from the sky, holding the Heroic Spirit Broken Blade, and walked toward the machine lifeform step by step. At this time, the machine lifeform suddenly spoke: \"Do you like reading books?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu was stunned for a moment. He stared at the machine lifeform for a few seconds and said: \"Yes, I like reading science fiction, Wuxia, Xianxia... and so on. So what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The machine lifeform's eyes seemed to light up, and it asked urgently: \"Reading, what is the feeling of reading?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, A1 and others also slowly walked to a distance of more than ten meters behind Wu Pifu, each standing silently there to guard Wu Pifu's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu naturally didn't know the seven's intentions, but since they didn't have any hostile behavior toward him, he couldn't be bothered to care. He just frowned and asked the machine lifeform: \"What do you mean? I don't understand what you want to express.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The machine lifeform's eyes had light flickering... not an adjective, but really flickering like a light bulb, and then it immediately said: \"A book, hundreds of thousands of words, millions of words, the amount of information is very small. Regardless of what is recorded inside, I can scan, analyze, and understand it in 0.00...1 seconds. Whether it's the foreshadowing in the book, the hidden lines, or even the author's growth, insights, and logical contradictions when writing, I can completely analyze them. But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't feel the emotional resonance with the author described in those reading notes. Is this... considered reading?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu was silent for a long time. He sat down beside the machine lifeform and looked at its human-like pupils. After more than ten seconds, he said: \"This involves too many things. First of all, humans have emotions. This kind of emotion is not only recorded in books but also appears in many artistic expression carriers. The so-called resonance is not just the content of the book, but more of the emotions entrusted in the book...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The machine lifeform looked at Wu Pifu. Its whole body's ash annihilation had spread, the entire chest cavity was empty, the upper body and lower body were completely broken, the lower body was rapidly withering, and the upper body had also withered to the trachea position. Its voice began to distort: \"Why can't I feel this entrusted emotion? How is this emotion described by a program? How can I feel this emotion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu was silent again. He shook his head and said: \"You are not human, you cannot feel human emotions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The machine lifeform's withering and decay had reached its mouth. It said in a leaking voice: \"How can I become human...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu didn't answer. He stood on the spot silently for a long time. Until the entire machine lifeform completely disappeared and dissipated, he stood up and said: \"I don't know how to turn from a monster into a human either...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Wu Pifu turned his head to look at A1 and the others. And inexplicably, the attitude of these seven people toward him was respectful to the extreme, completely different from when they first saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wu Pifu could understand. After all, his strength was off the charts. He didn't use any high-tech weapons. Others might not have seen it at first, but there was no way to hide it now. This was naturally beyond the standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about it, in the 21st century, monsters were rampant, humanity was in a doomsday scenario, and then a superman suddenly descended, not using guns or missiles, but slaughtering those monsters with his bare hands. Then humanity would definitely express respect to the point of reverence. As long as this transcendent was a human, and acted like a human, then electing him as the Emperor of all humanity was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu said to A1: \"Know it now? I didn't use high-tech weapons to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A1 and the six Wakaba Unit members nodded at the same time and said: \"Yes, we know, you are human. A member of the vast humanity, not a machine lifeform, but an ordinary human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, ordinary... human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu felt something was wrong as he spoke, and he rarely saw his \"clueless index\" start to drop. This certainly made him gratified, but it also made him even more clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can fly, can fight, can hack a thousand-meter-long mechanical monster into meat paste... an ordinary human?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or did he misunderstand the other party's meaning? Did they want to express that they didn't see him as a monster and still recognized his human identity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Wu Pifu was clueless, he suddenly stopped thinking and looked at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brighter and brighter light gradually appeared at the zenith, and the brightness of that light even began to gradually exceed the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orbital weapon!?\" A1 said in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other six were also full of horror. They said to Wu Pifu at the same time: \"Please leave this place as soon as possible! The destruction range of the orbital weapon is 500,000 square kilometers, but the explosion speed after landing is not that fast yet!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, they were about to ascend to the top of the light's landing point. Before landing, the attack range of the orbital weapon was only ten meters in diameter. As androids of the Wakaba Unit, their protective force fields were very powerful. Even though they knew this couldn't withstand the orbital weapon for a second, they didn't plan to sit and wait for death based on the fundamental core of protecting humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, Wu Pifu rushed toward the sky at a speed far exceeding theirs, leaving only seven people stunned in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Can an ordinary human's body withstand an orbital weapon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beauty with long black hair, a miniskirt, and suspender stockings asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was blank, and then a question suddenly arose in their hearts...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an ordinary human's body can withstand an orbital weapon and treat it as a basic operation, then... why did the humans of that time invent these \"weapons\" that couldn't cause any damage to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For fun?\u003C\u002Fp>",1865,"2026-06-17T19:10:57.806Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1571918e37c04b2a4d8bdca6d3b55f6c6ff54c90f1cf72eaf64b16de65f401ad","eternal-nightmare-night-chapter-497","eternal-nightmare-night-chapter-495",602,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-nightmare-night-cover.jpg"]
