Chapter 288: The Power of Survival

“Lack of materials? What the h*ll does that mean?”

Chen Yu was furious. He picked up the BB with one hand and placed it in front of him. “Shrink just because you don’t have enough materials?”

“Sir Human!” BB hugged Chen Yu’s arm excitedly.

“Good girl.” Chen Yu smiled and nodded at the BB. Then, he continued to curse at Origin furiously. “WDNMD!”

“Chen Yu, please calm down.” Origin tapped the dial, taking half a step back. She said, “Ever since the Glorious Army was founded, this device has only been used a few times. Because there are still newer ones on the main ship, this old antique has always been placed here. I didn’t notice that there weren’t enough materials to fill the body.”

“Bullsh*t.”

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

“So what if I made a mistake? So what if I did it on purpose?” Origin raised her head and looked down at Chen Yu. “As long as we complete the deal between us, I will give you a new BB body.”

Lowering his head and looking at the BB that was ‘wrapped’ around his arm for a while, Chen Yu nodded slowly. “I understand. Origin, I didn’t expect that you, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also start to play tricks. I underestimated you.”

“Thank you.”

He ignored Origin.

Chen Yu put down BB and squatted down to maintain his height with BB. He said, “BB, how do you feel?”

“Very good.” BB nodded slowly. “I just… I just feel that everything is taller.”

Chen Yu said, “You’re the one who got shorter.”

“I heard you guys talking.” BB extended a finger and put it in her mouth. She tilted her head. “I became smaller because I didn’t have enough materials.”

Chen Yu: “…”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu said to Origin, “Why do I feel like she talks like a child? She acts like one too.”

“That’s normal.” Origin’s brown pupils were calm. “A self-destructing body will lose a certain amount of memory and logic. So every time the Glorious Commander is ‘resurrected’, a backup memory is needed to restore it.”

“Then restore it for her.”

“Every commander’s backup is the last time they returned to the ship. If her backup memory is restored, she won’t remember you. Are you sure you want to do this?” Origin smiled faintly.

“No!”

BB, who was as tall as a little girl, shook her head crazily. “I can’t forget my Lord!”

Plop.

With that, she staggered and fell to the ground.

Chen Yu jumped in fright and hurriedly helped her up. “What’s wrong? Is something wrong with your body?”

“No.” BB swallowed her saliva. “I… fell from the shaking.”

Chen Yu: “…”

“It looks like you don’t want her to return to her original state either.” Origin folded her arms across her chest. “Let’s leave it at that. Anyway, she’s just a little childish. Her combat ability won’t be reduced by too much. This is because the Glory Robots’ combat skills, techniques, leadership skills, and other skills are recorded in the motherboard.”

Stroking BB’s furry head, Chen Yu said seriously, “BB, do you feel like you’ve forgotten something?”

“I don’t feel like I’ve forgotten anything.” BB frowned and tilted her head to think. Her long silver hair covered half of her face. “And I feel like I’ve forgotten everything…”

“Then what are your memories of me?”

“Of course I remember everything about Sir Human!” BB happily used her cheek to rub against Chen Yu’s face.

“…”

Chen Yu: “She’s really turned into a f*cking child! Ahhh!”

“Sir Human… Doesn’t like the current me?” The smile on BB’s face slowly disappeared as she poked her finger in grievance.

Chen Yu: “…I do.”

BB instantly revealed a brilliant smile. “Hehe.”

Chen Yu sighed and patted BB’s little head. “I was actually tricked by that robot.”

“It doesn’t matter. To be able to see, hear, and touch Sir Human again, BB will be very satisfied. And after that, won’t I be able to reforge my body?”

“…That’s right, the main ship can reforge your body. But… This thought of yours…”

“It’s the same as a human cub,” Origin interrupted coldly. “With a few years of study, logic, thinking, and language will tend to be similar to that of an adult. In the end, they will be the same. And because of their almost unlimited lifespan, one day, they will be more mature than all humans.”

“That’s good.”

Nodding his head, Chen Yu could only accept it, even if he could not accept it in his heart.

Bending over and holding BB on his shoulder, Chen Yu asked, “From what you said just now… Don’t you have any sense in the motherboard state?”

“No.”

BB shook her head, “Without vision, hearing, smell, touch, and other sensing devices, I can’t feel anything. I only know that you… you often carry me… Oh, oh! Right, I forgot something!”

“What?”

“B… Where’s BB’s sword?” BB covered her head in panic.

“It’s in the room. I’ll get it for you.”

“Okay!”

Chen Yu turned around and left with BB in his arms.

Beside him, Origin frowned, “Hey, where are you going?”

“Go back and rest. We agreed to go to sleep after reviving her.”

“How long will you sleep?”

“Wait for my news.”

Origin looked displeased, but she did not say anything.

She quietly watched Chen Yu and BB chat as they walked away.

Chen Yu: “BB, do you still remember CF?”

BB: “CF… I don’t really remember.”

Chen Yu: “Back then, the commander of the B5 Glory Unit sacrificed himself for supporting us.”

BB: “Oh oh! BB remembers now! His… His motherboard seems to be damaged. He sacrificed himself.”

“Mm, if you have time, go and sweep his grave.”

“What do you mean by sweep his grave?”

“You’ll know when the time comes.”

“Good? Eh? I… I’m not wearing any clothes?”

“It’s okay, I don’t wear them often either. I’m used to it. Don’t mind it…”

…

Along the metal corridor, Chen Yu carried BB and returned to the house that Origin had prepared for him.

Bang.

After closing the door, he immediately put down the BB and carefully sized up the other party’s current body.

Her height was not more than 1.4 meters.

Her hair, however, was still of a normal height.

This caused the BB’s hair to almost reach the heels of her feet.

In terms of appearance, because the proportion of her face had shrunk, her eyes appeared even bigger. She was very cute.

She looked a little like a cartoon girl who had walked out of a two-dimensional world.

“Hey, why is the Lord Looking at me like that?” BB tilted her head in puzzlement.

Pa.

Chen Yu held his forehead. “She’s really a little girl now…”

“Lord, where’s my sword?”

“I’ll look for your sword later. Put on your clothes first.” Chen Yu led the girl into the living room and pulled open his backpack. He found a short shirt from inside and put it on BB.

The bottom of the short shirt directly covered BB’s knees.

“Ah…”

She lifted the shirt, put it to the tip of her nose, and took a deep breath. BB’s eyes were blurred. “It’s… It’s the smell of a human adult.”

Chen Yu: “…Please don’t lift it so high.”

“Oh, oh.” BB nodded, but did not listen. Instead, she opened her mouth and stuffed the bottom of the shirt into her mouth. She chewed carefully.

Chen Yu: “…”

[Psychological damage: Spirit +24]

“Was there a mistake during the repair? Is it abnormal?”

“Ah? No.” BB spat out the clothes. “I… I just wanted to try if I still have a sense of taste.”

“Oh.” Chen Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “Do you?”

“No. I still can’t taste anything.” BB put down the clothes and lowered her head. “Robots don’t need to eat. So Origin did not design a sense of taste back then.”

“It’s just the sense of taste. It’s not that important.”

Chen Yu comforted her. Then, he picked up the long sword on the table and handed it to BB. “Here, this is for you.”

“Wow.”

Stars appeared in BB’s eyes. She happily held the long sword and observed it fondly. “This is my sword.”

“Yes, it’s yours.”

BB raised her head and looked at the height of the ceiling. Then, she swung her hand and threw it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The body of the sword, in the air a few somersaults, the blade down, accurately inserted into BB’s head.

“Choke!”

One with the sword.

“Very comfortable…” BB was satisfied. “Finally can use my sword.”

Chen Yu reluctantly scratched his ear root. “Happy is good.”

After resurrecting BB, although he could use BB’s longsword, it was still not as convenient as carrying the sword on his back and pulling it out whenever and wherever he wanted.

Once he encountered an unexpected situation, it would be very easy…

“Hmm?”

“Carry it on my back?”

Chen Yu suddenly had an epiphany and thought of something. He hurriedly looked at BB’s body size again.

“Eh?” BB was puzzled.

“BB.”

“Ah?”

“You… Hmm… Can you lie on my back?”

“Eh?”

“Yes, just lie on my back like this.” Chen Yu turned his body and turned his back to BB. He commanded, “Climb up.”

“Is that so?”

BB climbed onto Chen Yu’s back in a daze.

“Yes! Wrap your arms and legs around me tightly.”

“Oh oh…”

BB immediately hugged Chen Yu tightly.

She completely hung onto Chen Yu’s body.

Chen Yu stood up and twisted a few times on the spot. When he realized that the BB behind him did not delay his movements, he tentatively raised his hand and held the hilt of the sword above BB’s head.

Clang!

He easily pulled out the longsword!

BB: “Eh?”

Chen Yu: “Holy sh*t!”

Clang!

He inserted the longsword back and pulled it out again.

His movements were so smooth that it was actually as easy as carrying the motherboard on his back…

“BB.” Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the small head behind his shoulder.

“Sir.”

“In the future… You can hang on my back.”

BB: “…”

Chen Yu put BB down and asked, “Now that your body has recovered, can I still use the motherboard’s teleportation technology?”

“No.” BB shook her head. “Only I can use it.”

“I see…” Chen Yu felt regretful.

“My Lord, do you want to use me as a scabbard?”

“Scabbard… it doesn’t sound good.” Chen Yu was embarrassed. “It’s a sword sheath. It’s a sword sheath.”

“It doesn’t matter.” BB was serious. Her small face was serious. “The purpose of the Glorious Army is to contribute to humanity! You can use me as you wish.”

“Really?” Chen Yu was moved.

“Yes.”

“Alright then, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Picking up BB, Chen Yu hopped into the bedroom of the house, unfolded the quilt on the bed, and went in with BB…

Not far away.

In the main hall of the space station, Origin saw this scene through the surveillance camera and curled her lips in disdain.

“Hypocrite human.”

“Didn’t you still sleep together?”

…

“Shh!”

Under the quilt, Chen Yu suppressed his voice to the lowest level and whispered into the BB’s ear, “There are all kinds of surveillance and monitoring equipment nearby. Can you hear me when I’m so quiet?”

“Yes, Sir.” BB exhaled softly. “I… I’m whispering. Can you hear me?”

“Yes. Just don’t blow into my ear. It’s a little itchy.”

“Yes, yes.” BB nodded repeatedly and then asked, “Sir, how did you successfully enter the space station? Didn’t she… Didn’t she want to kill you back then?”

“She wants to kill me now.” Because his voice was too low, Chen Yu’s voice was almost hoarse. “It’s just that I made a deal with her and stalled her.”

“What… What deal?”

“Shh.” Chen Yu lifted the blanket and glanced outside. “You’re a native here. Is there any way to disable the surveillance in the room?”

“There’s no way. Unless we activate a signal-jamming device or detonate some kind of high-energy explosive.” BB’s tongue said clumsily, “These… these two things are available in the space station.”

“No.” Chen Yu shook his head. “Origin won’t let us take them.”

“Then… Then there’s no other way.”

Hearing that, Chen Yu closed his eyes. His mind spun quickly, checking, checking, and reviewing the next plan of action.

BB was resurrected.

The T-D Diluent was also in his hands.

The mission was 50% completed.

Although the ‘complete annotation of human genes’ was still with Origin, Chen Yu did not want that thing at all!

From the beginning to the end, the ‘complete annotation of the human gene’ was only to divert the attention of Origin and use it as a cover to stall the other party.

His true goal was only the fate of Origin!

“The first step is to flip the table.”

“The second step is to kill Origin or heavily injure it.”

“The third step is to use the identity of a human to control the entire Glorious Army. This step, BB can help me…”

“Is there anything I’ve overlooked?”

“Are there any steps that need to be modified…”

“No…”

“…”

“You can move.”

After completing the ‘proofreading’ in his mind, Chen Yu opened his eyes.

He.

Was about to flip the table.

“Hu…”

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Chen Yu asked BB in a low voice, “Are you familiar with this space station?”

“Very familiar.” BB nodded. “But… my memory isn’t clear, so I forgot some of it.”

“It’s fine. Tell me the general layout of the space station. For example, where is the power generator, where is the system hub, where is the backup mecha or landing ship, and where is Origin’s main server.”

“Hmm…” BB bit her finger and recalled seriously, “Nuclear power cluster, in the space station’s Area 2. The system hub is on the side of the main server, Area 1…”

BB’s description was very detailed.

In about ten minutes, Chen Yu understood the general structure of the space station.

Of course, there were also blank areas that BB had forgotten about.

There were only a few areas that were unrelated to the overall situation.

“Sir, is there anything else you want to ask?”

“No.”

Chen Yu waved his hand.

In fact, he had too many questions.

For example, could BB send out a signal? Could it contact the Glorious Army around it? After a fight, attacking that area would be the most difficult for Origin to handle… and so on.

However, Chen Yu wasn’t sure if the two’s ‘soft beeping’ could really fool Origin and cause the subsequent plans to collapse.

Therefore, he could only press on with patience and trepidation.

As the saying went, an elementary scholar rebelling for three years wouldn’t work.

There was no plan that was absolutely perfect.

When the ‘plan’ was perfect, Bo Ren Zhuan was already cold…

He reached out and grabbed a corner of the blanket. Chen Yu asked one last question, “BB, will you die if you enter space?”

“Space?” BB blinked. “No.”

“Yes, okay. Then it’s fine.”

Chen Yu’s heart was completely calm.

Some things, regardless of whether they were said or done, were extremely cruel.

If the BB entered the space environment, it would die. Then for the sake of the billions of human compatriots in the real world, Chen Yu could only bear the pain and sacrifice BB…

“In a while, no matter what I do, you will listen to me.”

“Understood.” BB raised her fair and tender little hand. “Listen to the commands of the humans, this is the mission of the Glorious… Glorious Army.”

“Okay.”

Huala.

Lifting the quilt, Chen Yu jumped off the bed, led BB to the living room, and sat on the sofa.

Not long after, the voice of Origin came from all directions.

“Looks like you’ve rested well.”

“Not yet.”

Chen Yu opened his backpack and took out a brand new pack of Harbin cigarettes. He opened the package, took out one, and stuffed it into his mouth. “I still need to rest.”

“Just now, you and BB, what did you talk about?”

Hearing this, BB felt inexplicably nervous and subconsciously grabbed Chen Yu’s sleeve.

“Yes.”

Chen Yu did not deny it.

He took out a lighter, lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath, carefully feeling the damage to his lungs from the smoke. He said, “You schemed against me like this, so I should at least be on guard.”

“How did I scheme against you?”

Chen Yu touched the BB beside him. “Isn’t it obvious? Why did you restore a shrunken BB? It’s because you’re afraid of her combat power. You’re afraid that if the BB in her peak state working with me will pose a threat to you.”

After he said that, Origin fell silent for a few seconds. “Mm. That’s a pretty good interpretation.”

A glint flashed across Chen Yu’s eyes.

Origin would never have expected that this move would be a one-step mistake.

That was because with Chen Yu’s current combat strength, once BB joined the battle, it would only hinder his movements and hinder his movements.

And now… The thin and small BB could be directly carried on his back and used as his scabbard…

It was simply too convenient.

“Hu…”

After spitting out a thick cloud of smoke, Chen Yu closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa for a short rest.

Using the information gap between both parties to achieve the current effect was already a very good start.

Next, he only needed to wait for the time of one cigarette.

Just one cigarette…

“Phew.”

He put out the cigarette butt with his fingers.

Chen Yu flicked the cigarette away with his fingers and stood up.

“Have you rested well?” Origin asked.

“Yes, almost.”

“Can we start the ‘negotiation’ you mentioned?”

“Yes.” Chen Yu tightened his belt and adjusted his collar button.

“Then let’s do it.” Origin raised her voice, “It’s still in the hall just now.”

“May I ask… can I bring a weapon?”

“No. Don’t even think about it.”

“Are you afraid that I’ll attack your body?” Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, “Didn’t you say that your body can be changed freely if it’s damaged?”

“Human,” Origin said coldly, “I will not trust you. Therefore, I will not give you a chance. You must keep any weapon in this room, including the sword on BB’s head. You cannot carry anything.”

“Hmm… What a pity.”

Chen Yu clicked his tongue. He regretted that he could not ‘directly attack the yellow dragon’.

“Now, take the sword off BB’s head and put it on the table. Come to the hall and look for me,” Origin urged.

Chen Yu ignored her.

Instead, he picked up the backpack and bent down to pass it to BB. “Carry it.”

“Okay.” BB nodded. Like a child carrying a backpack, she picked up the backpack.

“Then I’ll carry you.”

“Okay!”

BB jumped and nimbly hugged Chen Yu’s back. She hung on his back.

“Human, what are you going to do?”

Origin’s voice became slightly grave. “You cannot take the things in your backpack either.”

Chen Yu still did not reply to Origin.

He picked up the dagger on the table and inserted it into his waist.

Then, he picked up the national treasure revolver — Magnum .44 Good and Evil Retribution.

Ka.

Opening the magazine, he saw five crystal-clear and full-bodied bullets. The corners of Chen Yu’s mouth rose. He held the gun in his left hand and drew BB’s longsword in his right hand.

Clang!

The blade was sharp!

The sound was like the roar of a dragon!

It seemed to be clearer than any time he drew the sword.

“Human!” Origin shouted sternly. “What are you doing?!”

He slowly raised his hand.

He aimed the muzzle of the revolver at his temple.

Chen Yu’s tone was faint. “BB, what is the slogan that your Glory Unit often shouts? Have you forgotten it?”

“Of course I will never forget it.” BB raised her small hand. “May the glory of humanity be passed on forever!”

Chen Yu said, “May the glory of humanity be passed on forever.”

“Chen Yu!” No matter how slow Origin was, she knew that Chen Yu was going to cause trouble. She shouted, “What do you want to do? Do you want to die? Do you want to give up your life?”

“BB.” Chen Yu asked, “For the sake of humanity, will you give up your life?”

“No.”

“What a coincidence.” Chen Yu was full of killing intent. “Neither will I.”

Bang!

After saying that, he moved his finger and pulled the trigger.

A white bullet drilled into his brain like a flowing light!

[Cursed: Temporary Total Physical Fitness +71%]

[Temporary Metabolic Function +1359; Temporary Organ Comprehensive Strength +801]

[Temporary Pain Tolerance +303; Probability of Shock -28%]

[Qi and Blood +2540]

The indescribable pleasure made Chen Yu’s eyes roll back.

Feeling the surging energy in his body, his face became redder and redder.

His whole body was trembling, and his breathing was rapid.

His heart was about to jump out of his chest.

“What… What are you doing!” Origin shouted sharply.

Plop, plop, plop…

In the distance, a group of heavy footsteps could be heard.

“Sir!” BB exclaimed, “It’s the all-mechanical army! They don’t have the ability to think. They are completely controlled by Origin.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Trembling, Chen Yu closed his eyes and continued to pull the trigger.

Bang!

[Temporary Total Physical Fitness +75%]

[Temporary Metabolic Function +1310; Temporary Organ Comprehensive Strength…]

[…]

Bang!

[Temporary Total Physical Fitness +77%]

[Temporary Metabolic Function +1606…]

[ … ]

Bang!

[Temporary Total Physical Fitness…]

Bang!

[Total…]

…

The bullets that he had accumulated for more than a month were all gone.

Chen Yu slowly opened his arms.

He felt as if his entire body was about to float in the air…

“This…”

“Is this the power of god?”

Boom!

The moment he finished speaking, a Level 2.5 force exploded with a loud bang!

The powerful energy resonated with his expanding constitution, creating a terrifying shockwave that ‘crashed’ all the furniture in the room into pieces.

“Impossible!”

Origin hissed, “What kind of power is this?!”

Putting away his short spear and raising his sword with his right hand, Chen Yu’s eyes shot out a seemingly corporeal madness and malevolence.

“This is the power of humans, the power to survive.”
