What do you mean I have to fight Ultraman Tiga?

Ye Rui and Karen stayed in the bunker and immediately began the work of building the firewall.

Karen even went directly to the data space to set up a firewall, while Ye Rui was also typing away on the keyboard.

Meanwhile, the rest of the GUTS team had already flown to Earth in their Hyuga EX and Hyuga EXII aircraft.

"Oh dear, it's been so long since I piloted the Flying Swallow in battle, I'm not very familiar with the controls anymore." Shinjo twisted his neck, seemingly looking forward to the upcoming battle.

"Shinjo, don't say that and we'll crash again." Daigo teased Shinjo directly through the communicator.

“Hey Shinjo, why don’t you let me drive? Even though I’m a scientist, I’m still more reliable than you,” Horii added, adding insult to injury.

"Daigo, Horii, you two bastards!"

"Haha, it seems Shinjo isn't confident either." Lina couldn't help but join in teasing Shinjo, seeing that her teammates were still so lively despite not having fought side by side for a long time.

And then there's Captain Munakata, whose face remains serious: "Shinjo, why don't you just let go of the driver and give it to Horii?"

"Huh? Munakata, you don't believe me either? You bunch of guys!"

Then, a lively atmosphere came through the communicator.

"Okay, no kidding."

"We're about to arrive on Earth, everyone prepare for battle!"

Thus began the first combat mission for the Victory Team in many years.

Chapter 188 Logic Virus

On Earth, 2B and 9S are preparing to attack Eve, the culprit behind the machine life going out of control.

Because N2 is the logical core of the mechanical lifeforms, defeating N2 will stop those giant weapons and halt their attacks on the bunkers in outer space.

At the same time, it can also relieve the pressure on the front lines for other resistance forces on the ground.

After all, these enormous weapons are weapons of mechanical life forms, but the ground resistance forces do not have such weapons and are unable to contend with them.

But Eve was so powerful that even when 2B and 9S joined forces, they could only force her back, but could not inflict any effective damage on her.

Moreover, on the surrounding sea, massive weapons are gathering power, preparing to launch laser cannons at the bunker base in the sky.

Nearby resistance fighters are also battling the chaotic and out-of-control mechanical lifeforms.

Perhaps of all mechanical life forms, only the robots in Pascal's Village have not gone out of control.

The giant humanoid weapon at sea is also approaching the land, wanting to join the battle. When that happens, the resistance forces on the ground will be completely crushed by the giant humanoid weapon.

9S had already sent a distress signal to the bunker, and they knew that it would be difficult for the bunker to gather enough manpower to support the ground in a short time.

Even so, we should at least prepare for attacks from massive weapons.

"2B, how are you? Are you alright?"

9S was helped up by 2B, and the two continued to hold up their weapons, preparing to face Eve's attack.

"I'm fine, 9S. Please take control of his system. I'll seize the opportunity to attack him. Please..."

After saying that, 2B charged at Eve once again.

Meanwhile, 9S began its intrusion into the Eve system.

While the three were fighting, two girls in red were constantly darting and disappearing behind them.

The battle continued, and both 2B and 9S's mobile suits were severely damaged, but the two still did not give up.

Sparks flew from their bodies, their artificial bones were broken, and the two limped around the metal storm generated by Eve.

Storm is a unique ability of mechanical lifeforms that allows them to control the parts of nearby damaged mechanical lifeforms, creating a violent whirlwind.

Finally, with the help of 9S and 2B companions POD042 and POD153, Eve was defeated.

Victory has finally been achieved! Eve has been defeated. Although reinforcements didn't arrive in time, the enormous weapon...

9S and 2B watched as the massive weapon on the sea continued to gather power. It did not stop operating after defeating Eve, but continued to accumulate strength, preparing to launch an attack on the bunker.

"Damn it, what's going on? Why are these mechanical lifeforms still in chaos?!"

9S shouted angrily.

POD042, who was next to 2B, immediately analyzed the data and told the two of them: "It seems that after Eve was defeated, the Logic Virus continued to expand. Obviously, Eve is not the culprit behind everything."

If that's the case, and defeating Eve can't stop the spread of the virus, and there's no time to find the real mastermind, then the only option is to try to destroy that giant weapon.

2B, supporting 9S, prepares to have the aircraft arrive, and then head to the sea to launch an attack on the giant weapon.

But as soon as he stood up, 9S's body began to convulse, and he pushed 2B away.

"Ahhh-"

"2...B, get out of here!"

9S was screaming and looked like he was in pain.

2B tried to step forward, but 9S pushed her away.

POD042 and POD153 flew to 2B and reported the current situation of 9S.

"9S has been infected with the logic virus during its recent system intrusion into Eve and is about to go out of control."

"What, how is that possible!"

Just now, 2B, as a combatant, was mainly responsible for frontal combat, while 9S was mainly responsible for hacking into Eve's system and assisting 2B in the battle.

Therefore, in this process, 9S inevitably became infected with the logic virus.

On the ground, 9S struggled: "2...B, I feel so bad...Quick, kill me."

In response to the 9S, POD153 immediately provided supplementary explanations.

“9S has been infected with the Logic virus, and we cannot store his data because if 9S’s data is uploaded to the bunker, the bunker will be compromised by the Logic virus.”

2B certainly understands this as well.

However, if 9S's data is not uploaded and instead 9S is killed directly, then the 9S who re-imports the data in the bunker will no longer be the 9S who shares the same experience as 2B.

Simply put, androids don't truly die. As long as their consciousness is uploaded before their bodies are damaged, they can be resurrected in another body.

But if you don't upload, then you're truly dead.

Now, the data from the 9S cannot be uploaded to the bunker.

Because 9S is already infected with the virus, if it uploads data, the entire bunker will be destroyed.

So... there's only one option left: kill 9S.

Kill 9S, and then 2B alone, to defeat the giant weapon at sea.

Now is not the time to hesitate.

So, 2B, trembling, crawled to 9S's side and grabbed his neck with both hands...

Not far away, a white-haired android with a striking resemblance to 2B was watching all of this.

This scene was almost exactly the same as her experience back then.

His comrades also sacrificed themselves under such circumstances.

So, will 2B be able to bring herself to kill her own partner this time?

Yes, it will.

Because it concerns the future of the entire bunker, and even the future of all humanity.

Of course, all humans in this world have long since died out.

2B increased the pressure on her hands, and 9S's breathing almost stopped.

9S is in great pain. Is it because his body is controlled by a logic virus? He feels an inescapable discomfort.

That was the pain of being about to die and being separated from one's companions.

That was the unbearable pain of vaguely seeing tears dripping from the person's mask.

Why do I feel so bad?

Do androids also have such emotions?

I really want to keep living... to live with 2B.

"The communication is complete, Ye Rui. Now, I'm counting on you to analyze the logic virus!"

But a voice suddenly appeared in 2B and 9S's minds.

The next instant, a girl suddenly appeared in front of 2B and grabbed her hand.

"Don't give up like this!"

2B immediately released her grip on 9S.

"We are here to provide support. I will try to detect and remove the logic virus. Please protect the safety of this place."

Karen signaled that the nearby mechanical lifeforms were approaching and instructed 2B to protect 9S from being attacked by them.

Then Karen herself immediately transformed into virtual data and began analyzing the logic virus.

A laser beam fell from the sky, striking the massive weapon that was charging up, causing an explosion on the sea and sending up a mushroom cloud.

Meanwhile, those giant humanoid weapons exploded under the beams of even smaller lasers.

"New town, not bad."

"Of course, I'm an ace pilot! Speaking of which, Horii, the Magus power cannon you were in charge of developing is really awesome!"

That's right, the Victory Team arrived just in time!

They also launched an attack on the giant mechanical life-giving weapons on the ground.

Daigo and Rena piloted the Hien EX to attack the giant humanoid weapon, while the Hien EX II attacked the giant weapon on the sea surface using the Magus Power Cannon.
