Chapter 7 Ready! (Patreon)

In the city near the river. I have managed to find a good building and have made it a temporary Base.

Since It's not too far from the river, not too close to my bunker, and even the building looks strong I thought it was a great idea for a place of home.

Currently, I am taking some rest and eating the fish I just caught a moment ago.

The situation has improved a lot from two weeks ago, managed to find myself a house with a roof over my head and... some makeshift beds using wood I craft.

I also make some simple fish traps on the nearby River. But almost half of the fish I caught was some kind of Machine type fish, and it is filled to the brim with oil, What kind of environmental control do they have over here?

But at least the other half was edible. I munch on two small fish that I recently caught while gazing at the abandoned city for the extra view from the empty window. The fish taste bland without any salt not gonna lie.

Worst the sun is like before stuck there for the past weeks, staying above there and shining on the land. And it really drains most of my energy just from the heat alone. I kind of miss seeing the moon and clouds since I don't have to bother with the heat.

...But it reminds me of the cold and dark city quickly stop that thought.

After letting things out sound Burb sound from feeling filled I threw the leftover bone outside the windows and cleaned my hand with the nearby river until something came inside my mind.

I am lonely

Honestly, my only mind when I.. or we created Project Twilight's main objective was to escape the WCS itself, after that. I..or we actually don't know. I was not expecting to survive even live to tell the tale.

The only thing keeping me sane was the fact that there was someone out there, with the way gunshots and explosives rang all over the city.

But that's it, even I need to talk to someone after two weeks of loneliness.

Even a dog or any animal works for me either.

That's why I plan to begin a mission today, finding another life. To at least talk or have a conversation with someone.

After some stretching, I headed back to the base upon opening the door what greeted me inside the room were numerous tools and computers all around the floor.

The second floor contains most of my food, beds, weapons, guns, and so on. While the first floor contains various tools and electronics for my work.

Honestly, It took me 12 hours to set up a computer as it required me to set up the power needed using the resources from my bunker including the battery and solar panel. Which I have to fix again all over again.

Once I was done It was barely functioning or enough just to power the computer. And it took me another 6 hours to fix the computer mess, and another 2 hours to decipher the androids code.

Longest work I had ever done. 10/10 not doing that again.

But I got the information I needed from the android's memory.

Like for example the language completely changed which kind of hard what the hell the system trying to say. like why is it that some of the language was in emoji?

But I don't know why I noticed that recently it downloaded English.

It was luck that made it easy for me to decipher the System, but man to think of all the android bodies I pick up this one has the language of English.

Meh, must be a coincidence.

I look down upon the android's head which is currently connected to my computer showing most of the numerous wires from below the android's head were connected to my Computer.

Let's say this guy is named Billy.

Billy here is a Scout model with a lifespan of only 5 years. His job seems to be weekly check upon the territorial for any Machine activity and report back to camp.

He already finished his check on the surrounding area and was planning to head back to base not before getting chased and ambushed by the machine.

Other than that there was also a strange program contained inside when I Snoopy around the system. Actually not really surprise me since it was the very first thing the program was implemented.

"...Program 01, Designation Unit must not harm humans under any circumstances unless face extermination."

That's a pretty harsh program they have. Extermination upon disobeying an order from the human? What would happen if he got hacked geez?

But the fact that the program was recently installed... Did something happen?

Meh, maybe just another one of those propaganda to make them think humans exist.

I also notice what years is today from the date androids contain.

The year is now 12.034.

I have to double, even triple-check if what it said was true. Since it makes no sense at all.

Project Twilight was supposed to have a lifespan of only 120 years even 500 years if I was lucky.

If we could make it thousands of years even 10,000 we could have saved a lot more humans... But how would I have to prove this to the UN if it could last this long before I die of old age?

There is no way it could survive that long since a lot of the equipment is going to deteriorate after 100 years, even my body would just turn into a must-go in the process since my own body can't handle being frozen for that long.

it's just simply not possible. Unless...something causes it to last longer.

Something prevents equipment from deteriorating, makes the power last longer, and makes it so that my body won't turn into a mush.

I need to find the reason behind this, I did check further upon the base database when my priority was finding food. So I plan to gather information later when I finally have a stable life.

Also, further study of the memory inside the androids, concludes that there is YoRHa exists and currently led by Commander White. So history still stays the same... I wonder if the mastermind of the machine is also the same.

The machine is also the same, it could give me some advantage in knowing the future like I try to avoid Project Gestalt itself.

There is even a broadcast from its memory but not all of the data about YoRHa manage to survive except for one message that I manage to decipher.

"Glory to Mankind.." I mutter the word upon one of the memory.

...That's not creepy at all. And why the hell is it still the same thing? Should there not be a massive change since I was here like an alternate timeline or something like that? Or the gods are saying to my face that my presence here did not change major events at all?

Also thank you Androids for your service, your sacrifice will make my journey a lot easier.

An idea suddenly formed in my head. When I mention Broadcast.

If there is a broadcast then that means I can listen to the information as long as I have a radio.

But considering I am still busy taking care of myself, I plan on doing it later once I have the material and time to make it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention one of the bags also contains a map that contains every Resistance Camp location on every part of this continent including the machine type that you should be careful with if you travel on this road.

It seems like one of piace of things he was planning to bring back to the report. But got killed on his way back.

It was useful information but, the problem is... the map itself.

It shows that I was not in San Diego anymore.

I was in Japan. Close to Tokyo.

This... raised many alarms, the bunker was supposed to be located in San Diego, or the United States.

I don't how the bunker managed to move from the United States to Japan, there are many theories that maybe the landmass has moved. Or even the continent has completely changed.

But there is a more pressing concern about the map itself.

I noticed each of the maps of the territory is governed by its own Resistance Camp, I got the gits of their main goal seems to make sure the machine on the territory does not increase.

It was easy to tell from how they set up their camp.

So almost every territory in the region has marked either a Resistance Camp logo or a military base set up by the Army of Humanity itself. Which is not far from here.

Ah... Army Of humanity of course it is them.

If I remember correctly, they are the backbone of the android army and have total control over the entire world faction including YoRHa, Resistance androids, and numerous factions scattered around the world.

I kind of wonder what kind of propaganda they set up for this war, but from the looks of it seems pretty effective with how much they control the world right now.

Anyway, I noticed the closest Resistance Camp to me is led by the name of Captain Rose. The one that Billiy was trying to head to.

Wonder what kind of girl she looks like with such a beautiful name.

So I will Investigate the nearby camp, which is supposed to be the one in control of this territory. And establish a talk with them so I can buy more equipment, food, and everyday needs.

With my plan route out I begin making plans to the closest Resistance Camp tomorrow after preserving the food and water for the long road.

...If only that day I noticed. That the Camp was hiding something beyond my expectation, and If I knew about it I would have turned back and never gone to the camp.

Just means that you can't defy fate
