Chapter 513

How could these androids be humans?

Their bodies are biochemical materials and mechanical craftsmanship, their spiritual consciousness is simulated through chips and programs, and most importantly, they do not possess souls.

Especially the conversation recalled by Beelzebub indicated that the great figures in myths did an experiment, and their final conclusion was that unless they possessed the "authority of reincarnation," they could not create a real life soul.

Even the existences in myths could not create souls, so why could androids with souls be mass-produced in this world where technology is not very exaggerated?

This doesn't make sense.

Wu Pifu naturally didn't know the answer, but he had this feeling when he fought the Golden Skeleton before, that is, he was not the target of Lost corruption. Except for the time he was attacked when he first came into contact with Lost corruption, the targets of his subsequent battles belonged to corruption derivatives, or the Golden Skeleton, this Lost corruption body. The real Lost corruption did not target him again.

After all the androids shut down, the Lost corruption around the camp began to dissipate as if it had lost its target, which proved that he was not the target of Lost corruption.

And this kind of Lost corruption, from the soul echo emitted by the Golden Skeleton, indeed mentioned that Lost corruption is only aimed at life, and it is a kind of corruption erosion that only life will suffer. Although he didn't know why he was not actively attacked, non-life does not need to worry about being eroded by Lost corruption.

"... All the answers are indeed on the moon."

The next morning, all the androids started up at the same time. Every android stood up again safely. The shutdown for one night did not cause them any harm. At the same time, the Lost corruption seemed not to appear during the day.

"... The central processor has actually returned to normal!?"

All the androids were surprised, especially since all the strange phenomena of last night disappeared, their program self-construction and logic systems were completely restored, and those things beyond their thinking logic also disappeared. This was what surprised them the most.

"What is the principle of this?"

Many androids were puzzled. This was completely different from the scientific knowledge stored in their information base. Why did gathering around the campfire and then shutting down for twelve hours repair the central processor?

"What's difficult about this?"

Wu Pifu said while walking indifferently: "I heard my father say before that when he was a child, almost every adult mastered the repair method for machines. For example, for a TV, when it generally has a problem, use your palm at a 45-degree angle, pat it with about five points of force, and pat it several times in a row, and the TV's fault can be repaired. For another example, radios, washing machines, etc..."

Many androids looked at each other, and each saw confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

a1 asked softly: "So is it similar to human cardiopulmonary resuscitation? Do humans master similar resuscitation methods for machines and androids?"

Wu Pifu naturally knew this was impossible. Although he was labeled as a pure-blooded human by the Main Brain, strictly speaking, whether he was a human or not was still a question mark. As for repairing mechanical bodies or high-tech objects like androids, it was absolutely impossible to repair them by patting them a few times. Humans really don't have this kind of special ability.

But at this time, he couldn't explain it in detail, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, that's how it is. Humans... are amazing, right?"

Many androids nodded in agreement.

The body is almost indestructible, the strength can trigger tsunamis and earthquakes, and precise chips and programs can be repaired by patting with hands...

No wonder humans were the overlords of the Earth in the beginning!

After finally muddling through, Wu Pifu took the androids to take a vehicle to search for the resistance camp that might exist in the surrounding area.

After traveling for a while, near noon, the seven Wakaba unit members were stunned, and then each had a look of surprise. a1 immediately represented the other six and said to Wu Pifu: "My lord, there is a signal! Although the signal is a bit intermittent, the communication function is gradually recovering. We will soon be able to tell the General Command your news. The Human Council... no, the Android Unified Information Processing Hub on the moon will immediately respond to your call!"

Wu Pifu was noncommittal, just watching the seven Wakaba unit members stand still with their eyes closed, starting to contact the Android General Command in space.

Since knowing what kind of mutation had happened in this world, Wu Pifu had no good feelings for the humans who had already perished in this world. Their crazy experiments at the time of extinction could almost be said to be inhumane. Of course, they did not do evil for pleasure, and their fundamental purpose was for the continuation of the race, so Wu Pifu just had no good feelings for them, and he didn't think they were not humans.

However, the android core that set up the Curtain Project and hid the truth of human extinction, what its situation was, was impossible to guess. He had already prepared to fight all the way to the moon.

But unexpectedly, after the seven Wakaba unit members closed their eyes for a few minutes, what they got was not an order denying his existence, nor an instruction welcoming his arrival, but something else...

"Emergency evacuation order!"

"All androids in the Earth circle, please go to the evacuation point as soon as possible!"

"Repeating again, this order is issued by the Lunar Human Council. All androids must go to the evacuation point at the fastest speed and leave the Earth circle in batches!"

"After forty-eight hours, all personnel who have not evacuated will be regarded as having been infected with electronic viruses, or having surrendered to mechanical life forms, and will be completely eliminated as hostile targets!"

The seven Wakaba unit members were full of surprise. They read out these communication contents at the same time. a1 immediately said to Wu Pifu: "My lord, this is a one-way encrypted communication signal. The entire Earth circle has been in a channel-blocked state by the Android General Command in space. Except for this one-way communication signal, it will no longer accept electronic communication signals from within the Earth circle. We failed to tell the General Command the information of your existence..."

"It doesn't matter..."

Wu Pifu thought thoughtfully for a while, and immediately asked: "What about the evacuation point? Is it far from us?"

b8 explained on the side: "Not far, my lord. Every area has at least one evacuation point. The General Command sends space evacuation ships to land on Earth. Generally, it radiates around twenty to twenty-five resistance camp ranges. We have one nearby. According to our current travel speed, we can arrive at about six o'clock in the evening at the latest!"

Wu Pifu said to everyone: "Then let's speed up, hurry to the evacuation point, and try to leave Earth for outer space by sunset!"

With Wu Pifu in the team, the morale of these androids has always been maintained at a very high state. At this time, they naturally responded loudly, and then drove the vehicles, took the rides, and the personnel ready for maintenance were also ready. Everyone obeyed Wu Pifu's order and drove wildly to the destination.

On the way, Wu Pifu's lips moved slightly, and only Beelzebub could hear his voice. He asked: "The Lost corruption has completely erupted? Has it spread to the global range?"

Beelzebub also said in an extremely low buzzing sound: "It may not be just the global range. It is estimated that even the android spaceships in outer space have been affected. Otherwise, it is impossible to set up one-way communication while blocking all communication signals from Earth. The Android General Command in space probably thinks this corruption is some kind of electronic virus that can spread through communication... The situation is very bad, Wu Pifu. Be mentally prepared. Although I don't remember the specific characteristics of Lost corruption, all corruption, including Root corruption, has the characteristic that the larger the range and the deeper the degree of corruption, the more powerful the corruption effect, and the more terrifying the derived corruption bodies!"

Wu Pifu didn't say much, just stayed in the vehicle and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep, waiting for the arrival of the evacuation point.

From noon, more than ten vehicles took more than a hundred androids to the evacuation point. The journey was calm, and there were no strange phenomena of Lost corruption during the day. However, when the motorcade drove to after three o'clock in the afternoon, they found something unusual. Several driving truck-type vehicles appeared in front.

This was the standard configuration for android evacuation, and these trucks should be full of resistance androids. But what is strange is that from the open carriage, there was no one on it, only a few empty trucks driving forward.

All the androids were puzzled.

If the resistance suffered heavy casualties in the battle with mechanical life forms and only a few people survived, then it is impossible to drive several vehicles. One vehicle can hold everyone. Isn't this behavior of driving empty vehicles contradictory?

Just as everyone was puzzled, their vehicles passed these trucks, and then...

Empty!

Whether it was the driver's seat or the passenger seat, there was no human figure on it!

And when someone saw the driver's seat and the passenger seat, these trucks slowly stopped and stayed on the side of the road motionless, as if the previous driving was completely an illusion.

Even though androids think with chips and programs, this situation still made them inconceivable, and... creepy.

However, since they saw it, they couldn't just leave directly. So under Wu Pifu's leadership, everyone stopped. Then Wu Pifu held the blade in front, the seven Wakaba unit personnel followed closely, and then the maintenance personnel and mechanical engineers followed.

They came to several trucks for inspection. After repeated checks, it was confirmed that they were three old-fashioned cargo trucks, which did not have automatic driving functions. Even the driving mechanism on them was the oldest manual gear stepping on the accelerator. In other words, if there was no driver on it, these trucks could not even start automatically, let alone drive forward along the highway.

So... where are the drivers on it?

And what about the passengers full of large truck vehicles?

Where are they...!?

All the androids who personally inspected the trucks looked at Wu Pifu with horrified and fearful eyes. At that moment, they really looked like humans.

Wu Pifu was silent for a long time and said: "Everything here is not allowed to be said out. Just say it's an automated driving vehicle. The people on it are estimated to have gotten off early, or were attacked by mechanical life forms. Then let's hurry to the evacuation point!"

"Must arrive before dark!"
