Chapter 277 Gestalt Project

　　…

　　On the way back to the rebel camp, 2B and 9S walked in front, keeping a distance of dozens of meters, leaving Shen Ye and his companions behind.

　　A2 took the water bottle handed to her by Shen Ye and took a sip. After handing the water bottle back, she wiped her mouth and said, "I don't know what they are talking about. They don't even let us listen."

　　"We should report our findings here to the headquarters. But I don't understand. We have fought together before and we know exactly what happened here. Is there anything else that needs to be kept secret?" 11B was also a little confused.

　　"Who knows!" Shen Ye shrugged. There was no such part in the plot, so he couldn't guess it.

　　Meanwhile, 9S finally regains contact with the headquarters.

　　"Those two guys have a really wide range of influence. They left the electromagnetic interference range only after they got here... Um, 9S calling the bunker, please answer - can you hear me?"

　　"Communications officer to 9S, the signal is fine and I can hear you."

　　"We have just finished investigating the abnormal movement of mechanical life forms and have obtained very important intelligence. So, please connect us to the commander. We need to report to her."

　　"Received, please wait..."

　　9S waited for a while, and then Commander White's cold voice rang out over the communication channel: "9S, what did you find?"

　　"Commander, we have just discovered a special kind of mechanical life form in a gathering place of mechanical life forms. He...he looks exactly like an artificial human."

　　"Looks exactly the same as us?" White frowned in the bunker command center.

　　"Yes, and we saw him being born with our own eyes. Although he was just born, he is extremely powerful and has extremely high intelligence. He learned to speak and think in a short period of time. The speed of his evolution is beyond imagination."

　　"It is indeed very important information. Have you captured him?" White asked.

　　"I'm sorry, Commander, he escaped. He has a peculiar ability. From what Shen said, he can teleport directly."

　　"Shen? He's the android who single-handedly took out the three Engels? With him around, you guys can't capture that humanoid mechanical lifeform either?"

　　"Yes." 9S nodded.

　　"Okay, I understand." White thought for a while and then said, "Is 2B here?"

　　"She's here."

　　"Pull her into the communication channel. I want to talk to her alone."

　　"Understood." 9S nodded, then pulled 2B into the communication channel and then took the initiative to exit the channel.

　　He was a smart android and understood what the commander meant, so he turned and walked towards Shen Ye and the others, leaving them space to talk.

　　As if waiting for 9S to walk away, White said after a while, "2B, has 9S behaved in any unusual way today?"

　　2B thought for a moment and said, "No, Commander."

　　"Very good, keep observing."

　　"clear."

　　"Next, tell me some information about Shen." White said again.

　　"Yes, Commander." 2B responded, then turned around to look at the people following her from a distance, and continued, "He is very mysterious. I still don't know his model. I tried to ask him several times, but he always changed the subject. But one thing I can be sure of is that he knows humans very well and knows and understands many of their habits."

　　"It sounds like an artificial human created in the human era. However, if that's the case, there's no need for him to hide his model. Could it be... that he is a survivor of the batch of human clones?" White felt a little strange.

　　She didn't know much about humanity's past. She only knew that humans had launched a Gestalt Project, and those human clones were an important part of implementing the Gestalt Project. However, the Gestalt Project ultimately failed, and she didn't know much about what happened afterwards, because due to years of war and several accidental disasters in the database, a lot of data from the human era had been destroyed.

　　"Gestalt Plan? What is that?" 2B asked curiously when she heard White mention the Gestalt Plan.

　　"It's a failed plan to revive human civilization. I don't know much about it." White shook her head, and then she continued, "Okay, 2B, this call ends here. Your next mission is to continue to stay on the surface and cooperate with the resistance to investigate mechanical life. Of course, don't forget to find out the true identity of Shen."

　　"Understood!" 2B nodded and then ended the call.

　　…

　　The sun had already set by the time we returned to the rebel camp.

　　The group first went to the rebel headquarters and reported to Anemone what they had encountered today.

　　"A humanoid mechanical life form? That sounds really scary!"

　　After listening to 9S's report, the Jackass who had appeared out of nowhere showed an exaggerated expression, but in fact she was not afraid at all. Instead, she said:

　　"It would be great if you could capture him. I'd like to dissect him and maybe find something."

　　"Then we can only wait until we catch him. Now, you can only think about it." Shen Ye said.

　　"Then you must catch him next time, please." Jackass clasped her hands together, with a pleading look in her eyes.

　　"Jackass, stop making trouble here. Didn't they say that the humanoid mechanical life form has the ability to teleport? How can we catch it?"

　　Annie Mo Ning pushed Jackass aside helplessly, and then said to Shen Ye and others: "Put the humanoid mechanical life form aside first. It's very late now. You have worked hard all day, so you should go back and rest first."

　　"Yeah!" Shen Ye and the others nodded, said goodbye to Anemone, and turned to leave the command center.

　　But until they walked away, 2B and 9S were still standing there. They had just come to the resistance camp, so naturally they had nowhere to go. The headquarters was only responsible for sending them here and would not arrange accommodation for them. The two had no choice but to look at Anemone.

　　Even though the two did not speak, Anemone understood what they meant and said, "You should go with them. While you are on duty during the day, I have rented two houses for you on the same floor of their apartment. You can get the keys at the front desk."

　　9S was a little disappointed when he heard that they rented two rooms. "Why did you rent two rooms?"

　　"Because Miss 2B is a woman."Anemone said.

　　"But A2 and 11B are also women, why can they live with Shen?" 9S asked.

　　As if she understood what 9S meant, Anemone asked 2B, "It seems like your companions don't want to be separated from you."

　　2B glanced at 9S and said coldly, "Don't listen to him. I think it's better for us to live separately."

　　"But..." 9S wanted to say something else, but he saw 2B had already left, so he had no choice but to follow her dejectedly.

　　Looking at the two people leaving, Jackass laughed: "That little guy probably hates you now."

　　"It doesn't matter. Let him be." Anemone said, shaking her head.
