NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 227 T001

"I... didn't drag you down..."

The girl in his arms asked Ye Feng weakly but expectantly.

“You saved me…”

Ye Feng held her waist tightly, put his head close to her face, and roared: "Assistive machine!!! What are you standing there for!"

Two auxiliary machines floated over side by side.

"learn."

The auxiliary machine skillfully took out the hemostatic bandage, gel and connector, and began to work in an orderly manner.

"Promise me you won't go and die alone... ok?"

Ye Feng sat cross-legged.

The girl lay quietly on his legs, looking at him reproachfully with her bright big eyes.

Hearing the girl's words, Ye Feng's heart moved, and looking at her bright eyes, he couldn't help but feel dazed.

After a long while, he finally said, "Do you believe me?"

“(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~, what are you talking about!?”

The girl smiled and waved her hand in disdain.

Ye Feng's tense expression still did not relax.

He pondered for a long time.

My heart felt like it was being stabbed by something and I closed my eyes in pain.

"what happened?"

It seemed that he realized that something was wrong with Ye Feng's condition.

The girl stretched out her right hand and gently stroked his cheek, trying to relax his frown.

Ye Feng opened his eyes and suddenly looked up, looking at the huge white tower that towered into the sky and his mind seemed to have returned to 2024...

"I thought of some bad things." He shook his head desperately, trying to clear the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"You...don't be like this...it's all my fault..."

The girl's mood instantly dropped. She looked at her body being repaired and sadness welled up in her heart.

"I'm too weak..."

"Do not!!!"

Ye Feng squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

He looked down at her pillow on his legs, and reached out to grab the soft hand that was caressing him.

He placed it on his chest, his eyes filled with heartache.

"This time, let me protect you..."

Two pairs of eyes,

Staring at each other,

I am speechless.

After staring for a long time, the girl seemed to have read something.

She pulled out her hand that was tightly clasped on his chest, gently stroked his ear, and said:

"Don't push yourself too hard...we can...leave..."

"I understand..." Ye Feng felt sad.

If only I were stronger...

Maybe, two people who love each other,

One doesn't want the other to get hurt, and the other wants to give the other a better life.

The other one who is more sensible doesn't want the other person to get hurt.

The other one is even more desperate and wants to give the other person a better life.

Tiny human beings, ordinary yet great personalities.

A tear welled up from the corner of Ye Feng's eye. He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

In the eyes of some conspirators, he is a clown.

However, born under the red flag and growing up in the spring breeze, I have a heart that is always bright red.

Always face the sun, always have tears in your eyes.

There are only Dragon people who die standing, but no Dragon traitors who are born kneeling.

In order to protect the people around me from harm, I am willing to give everything I have, including my insignificant life.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng laughed at himself.

It seems that I have always been a fighter, living in my own world.

Hehe... I still can't be so high and mighty and look down on all living beings.

Observe the world from God's perspective.

Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud. His sunny and warm face completely concealed the suicidal determination that was already bursting out in his heart.

Let the storm come even harder.

"That's right... I don't like... that repressed expression."

Seeing Ye Feng's mood change,

A2 thought his persuasion had worked and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

……

drip~

A semi-trailer truck was coming from a distance, and the four sisters finally drove over.

"Mr. 9M!!!"

Before the car came to a complete stop, 8B leapt out of the car first and ran over quickly.

Following behind her were three team members.

"Miss A2, you are injured..."

The girl blinked: "I'm fine."

"Huh? This guy!"

64B curiously kicked the cold gray machine on the ground and turned it over.

Ye Feng once again noticed the guy on the ground.

"Assist, show us the photos we got from the machine lifeform base in Tokyo."

"learn."

A picture of a gray-clad machine was projected.

"Judgement: The mechanical life form in the photo is the one that has lost its vital signs."

"This is!?"

64B looked at the photo in confusion and compared it carefully with the guy on the ground.

Ye Feng said: "According to the intelligence I obtained, this guy once revealed to the enemy that there was a backdoor in the bunker server. However, he did not succeed."

It turned out to be the case.

Several people suddenly realized.

"Oh, by the way, that time in the square of the amusement park, I vaguely saw a gray cloak flash by. Maybe it was him..."

64B carefully examined it.

She was always cautious and would not miss any details. She carefully picked up the laser cannon wreckage that fell on the ground.

Continuing the analysis:

"And the traces of the last explosion seem to have been caused by the energy core of the laser cannon..."

"It seems like they've been eyeing us for a long time." 8B nodded in agreement.

A2 feels its function gradually recovering.

He tried to stand up, but stumbled and fell backwards.

"Don't move." Ye Feng supported her carefully.

A2 looked at the sisters, then turned to Ye Feng and smiled shyly: "It's okay now, no need to support me..."

Ye Feng slowly let go of the girl's hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked towards the mechanical lifeform lying on the ground and placed his right hand on his shoulder.

Hacking!

The energy of the auxiliary machine was poured into the body of the mechanical creature. Ye Feng entered the data space of the mechanical life form and came to the memory unit along the avenue.

Most of the memory cells are empty, probably because they have been deleted.

"poor guy!"

Ye Feng felt a surge of pity, shook his head, and continued looking for decipherable memory units.

After searching for a while, no results were found.

"Assist, what's going on?"

"Report: According to analysis, this mechanical life form does not carry a mechanical life form core, but is instead equipped with a drive device similar to a black box. Analysis: The reason is unknown."

"What is Sima Zhao's intention?" Ye Feng couldn't help but become suspicious, and gradually he had some ideas in his mind.

"Expand the search range to see if there are any hidden memory units!"

"Understood. Searching."

"Report: Hidden memory unit found, containing some memory fragments. Displaying..."
