Chapter 497: Humanity has perished

Wu Pifu really used his physical body to take a hit from a space-based laser weapon.

In terms of power, this space-based laser weapon even exceeded strategic nuclear weapons, and by a lot. According to A1 and the others, the destruction range of this space-based weapon was five hundred thousand square kilometers. This destruction range was simply incomparable to any thermonuclear weapon, and could even be called a smaller-sized planet-destroying cannon.

This was a weapon capable of directly changing the structure of a planet's surface, and even enough to destroy a small asteroid if it bombarded the same spot continuously!

But Wu Pifu was still full of confidence in his "Mortal" title.

Within five steps, so far, except for things involving the root level or certain must-kill ultimate moves of extremely powerful sublimated bodies, he really hadn't seen any other attack that could break his defense from outside five steps.

As for resisting nuclear bombs with his physical body or blocking planet-destroying cannons at point-blank range, it sounded exaggerated, but as long as it was outside five steps, he really dared to give it a try.

And now, as Wu Pifu charged into mid-air, the glare at the zenith became brighter and brighter, even becoming the only light in the sky, illuminating the entire sky and earth in dimness.

At this moment, at the position Wu Pifu's martial arts intuition had predicted in advance, a laser beam with a brilliance far exceeding the intensity of sunlight fell straight down, landing exactly on the broken blade of the Heroic Spirit that Wu Pifu had already raised. At the same time, there was a thick layer of pitch-black metallic luster on the broken blade, and flickering electric currents condensed.

Under this strike, besides stimulating all his qi and blood, Wu Pifu also poured all his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki into the broken blade of the Heroic Spirit. With one slash to the sky, he clashed head-on with the descending laser beam of the space-based weapon.

All the androids on the ground, all the high-level mechanical lifeforms with wisdom and intellect far away, and all the android troops outside the universe were all dumbfounded as they watched this scene, which was exaggerated to the point of being unimaginable.

A human, holding a broken blade, slashed at the laser beam of a space-based weapon at an altitude of several thousand meters in the sky.

The result in the scientific calculations did not appear; the human holding the broken blade was not vaporized and annihilated in an instant, and the laser beam did not push him straight down to the ground.

Instead, a majestic, incomprehensible, and unimaginable force forcibly held up the impact of the space-based weapon's laser beam, pausing it in mid-air. Then, in the incredible gaze of everyone, the broken blade actually sliced through the middle of the laser beam. The black sword light was so conspicuous in this high brightness. This sword light pushed upward bit by bit. At first, the speed was slow, but in the stalemate, the speed of the black sword light became faster and faster, finally flying into the sky, going straight up from the middle of the laser, and splitting the laser beam, which was about ten meters thick, into two.

Under the gaze of all existence, and under at least a hundred types of professional monitoring tools, the entire space-based laser cannon was sliced directly down the middle. The black blade light slashed upward, breaking through the atmosphere and splitting it entirely. Then, with a horizontal sweep, it struck a massive platform in satellite orbit outside the atmosphere. It flashed past, the blade light cutting into the pitch-black space of the universe, and vanished.

The huge and brilliant laser beam suddenly went quiet, and the brilliant light became dim. At the same time, the laser beam disappeared. Only then did Wu Pifu turn around and walk back to the ground step by step, carrying the broken blade of the Heroic Spirit.

Just then, from the zenith behind Wu Pifu, a more brilliant light flashed by, and the entire world dimmed. However, no sound came. The violent light at the zenith only flickered for a moment, and then dimmed again, leaving only a sky full of burning meteor fragments, as dazzling as the cloak spread out behind Wu Pifu.

The seven people on the ground were already stunned.

B8 and the black-haired, long-straight, short-skirt, suspender-stocking beauty had flushed faces, and at the same time, they subconsciously covered their hearts, looking at Wu Pifu with blurred faces.

A1's voice suddenly said: "Close and debug your emotion processing modules. This is the underlying logic that constructs us, which is to make every contribution to the reproduction of humanity. From the hidden network documents of the Yorha troop headquarters I decrypted, the reason why we were designed in this appearance, as well as our combat attire, body shape, etc., are all to trigger human sexual desire, so that we can obtain human reproductive genes to the greatest extent... It is possible, but not now, understand?"

B8 and the black-haired, long-straight, short-skirt, suspender-stocking beauty were both stunned. The two looked at each other and immediately adjusted their own program processing modules according to what A1 said. Only then did their expressions look a little better.

The black-haired, long-straight, short-skirt, suspender-stocking beauty said to A1: "I am D7."

After the three beauties finished speaking, they all looked up, and the remaining four male Yorha troop members didn't have so much to think about. They all looked at Wu Pifu with longing eyes.

Wu Pifu had already landed. He glanced at the seven people, then turned around without saying a word and ran to the location where the Golden Tree was placed before. The seven people looked at each other and followed closely behind Wu Pifu.

The three small animals and the Golden Tree were all safe. Wu Pifu hung the three pendants and held the Golden Tree potted plant in his hand, only then looking at the seven people who followed.

The seven of them bowed to Wu Pifu and said: "Welcome humanity back to Earth, may the glory of humanity last forever!"

"...So, the meaning of no one on the moon is not that there are animals on it, but that the humans on it have all perished?"

In a temporary camp, Wu Pifu was talking to A1 and the others, while other resistance fighters were full of excitement, guarding Wu Pifu in the center, looking at Wu Pifu in the reflection of the bonfire.

A1 nodded and said: "Yes, this is also why I was hunted down... As early as more than seven thousand years ago, humanity was already on the verge of extinction, and the reason for humanity's near extinction was a disease called the White Salt Plague. I don't know more information. Perhaps only the Android Unified Information Processing Hub on the moon has records."

Wu Pifu looked at the bonfire in a daze.

This world was completely different from what he imagined. He originally thought it was some dog-blood internal cleanup, interest entanglement, traitor and hero drama, but who knew it was actually a cyberpunk super-future version, a story where humanity had perished for seven thousand years...

Wu Pifu said to A1: "Continue."

"Yes."

A1 said respectfully: "I haven't found the specific time when humanity perished, but various data and information indicate that humanity was on the verge of extinction due to the White Salt Plague seven thousand years ago. Then, about five thousand years ago, unknown alien creatures appeared, and they released mechanical lifeforms on Earth, which are the things the master killed before."

"Mechanical lifeforms have autonomous evolution logic. They will evolve and adjust themselves according to the number, strength, and combat mode of the enemy. At that time, although the number of androids was large, they were still no match for the mechanical lifeforms. Most areas of Earth fell. At the same time, according to the Android Unified Information Processing Hub, humanity fled to the moon and established the Human Council on the moon to command the androids."

Wu Pifu thought for a while and said: "So, you are all androids?"

Everyone present nodded. In this process, what made Wu Pifu feel a little creepy was that these beautiful android women all showed charm to him. Although it was not the terrifying degree of lust of the seven deadly sins of life, the display of this charm still made him shout "not good."

"...So, that so-called Android Unified Information Processing Hub decided to implement the Curtain Plan, concealing the truth of humanity's extinction, in order to maintain the morale of the androids... Are you androids, and do you also possess humanity and intellect?"

Facing Wu Pifu's question, many androids looked at each other, and a little confusion appeared on their faces.

B8 said at this time: "Master, we are just pseudo-intellect, pseudo-intellect simulated through high-intensity calculation... For example, we laugh, we cry, we are sad, but it is actually just the calculation of numbers. The true meaning is actually the same as that mechanical lifeform. We cannot and do not know the meaning..."

At this time, the red-haired mature woman also said on the side: "Master, you went to the town and saw our lives. Actually, we don't need to sleep, nor do we need to eat, and we have no meaning for labor such as farming. But we are still doing it. We brew wine, but that has no meaning for us at the information level or physiological level. We farm, but what we plant are flowers. We will also do some actions that simulate humans... but it is limited to simulation."

Wu Pifu was silent. Although he couldn't feel the emotions of these androids, he always felt that what they said was wrong, wrong... very wrong, but he couldn't say exactly where it was wrong.

After a while, Wu Pifu suddenly asked: "I have another question. If my identity as a human is known by the mechanical lifeform camp and the android camp on the moon, then..."

"How will they treat me?"

"And what orders have been issued by your top boss... how will you treat me?"
