NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 251 Blockade Shield

"how's it going?"

Seeing 11B gradually getting better, everyone asked with concern.

"I'm fine, but I feel a little exhausted."

11B forced a smile and shakily got up from A2's arms.

Looking at the scene in front of him, 11S couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "YorYa Combat Types are not good at hacking, and cannot exert their full combat power in the data space.

Similarly, if the enemy uses your hacking signal path to perform reverse hacking, the effect will not be so ideal.

If someone like us who are good at hacking and scanning were hit by that move just now, we would be dead."

[It really is true what someone said, those who drown are all good swimmers. ]

11S has many feelings.

"let's go!"

21O said this and took the lead to walk towards the logic analysis unit.

Everyone came to the digitized server.

Ahead, there are cores shining with golden light.

"Report: This is the logic analysis unit of the 9M unit."

"How to do it?" Everyone looked at each other.

“Ah… I don’t know…”

"Uh... we worked so hard... finally... now it's right in front of us, but we don't know what to do?"

"Report: It is speculated that the operating code of the 9M machine's logic analysis unit has been maliciously tampered with by some unknown program.

Suggestion: Clear the unknown program attached to the logic analysis unit. Make its logic analysis function run normally. "Assisted Machine 042 said.

11B wondered, "Can we just clear the program? Don't we need to fix the tampered logic analysis area code?"

"Negative: Logic analysis unit will repair itself," Pod 153 reported.

"understood."

The auxiliary machine quickly discovered the location of the tampered program, identified it from the many digitized cores, and synchronized it to everyone's IFF.

Looking at the black spherical core that was identified as the enemy, everyone turned to look at each other and nodded.

He then raised the weapon in his hand and aimed the gun at the core in front of him.

"come back!"

A2 shouted loudly in his heart and then pulled the trigger.

A large amount of plasma rushed towards the core in front of us,

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them with anticipation.

suddenly,

A thin plasma shield appeared around the core, blocking all incoming bullets.

11B's eyes widened. "What's going on?"

"Did it appear suddenly?" 21O said, observing carefully.

"Damn it! Let me see what's going on?" 11S cursed and began to analyze.

quickly,

He came to a despairing conclusion, sat down on the ground, put his hands on his head and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" 21O leaned over, stroked his head, and asked with concern.

11S didn't say anything, nor did he look up.

21O struggled to lift his head, but was frightened by his expression.

His eyes were empty, revealing despair, and two lines of tears flowed down his face.

"what's the situation?"

A click.

11B and A2 had a bad feeling.

Although I don’t know what happened, it’s definitely not a good thing.

Pod 042 looked at everyone, then looked at Pod 153, and said quietly:

"Warning: Improved blockade defense program. Analysis: 9M's key systems, such as memory units, IFF units, storage units, hearing and vision units, and CPU units, have all detected some unknown program, and this type of defense program is attached."

"How do we break it?" A2 asked tremblingly.

Pod 042 fell into a brief silence.

Pod 153 flew over quietly, stretched out its small mechanical arm, and shook him:

"Say something!"

Pod 042 spoke with difficulty:

"It causes a machine's self-data to go out of control. Using its self-destruction energy can temporarily paralyze the protective shield."

"Self-destruction!?"

Everyone looked horrified.

Do we have to use human lives to fill the gap?!

Is this... worth it...

21O seemed to be thinking about something. She asked, "What do you mean by improved?"

"Report: The entrance at the bottom of the White Tower also has a blocking defense program in its system core." said Assist 042.

"How did you crack it?" everyone asked expectantly.

“Report: YoRHa 9M used its machine life form core and created a self-destruct simulation program to break the shield, but the unit was still severely damaged.

The current defense procedures have been modified so that 9M's method cannot be effective."

An atmosphere of despair lingered in everyone's hearts, and the breath of death was spreading.

[Even if the shield of this core is removed, what about the other units!? ]

21O sighed and said helplessly:

"I see. They sent 9M here so easily. They are not afraid that we will turn him against them.

This...cannot be saved at all..."

"These damn guys, I will kill them all one day!"

11S said this through gritted teeth, his expression very much like the mad 9S in the original story.

A2 put down the machine gun with an expressionless face. She drew out her sword and slowly walked towards the core emitting golden light in front of her.

The protective shield emitting golden light in front of them seemed to be mocking their arrogance.

Her expression instantly became ferocious. She moved her right hand, and with a flash of silver light, the long sword kept slashing at the protective shield in front of her, emitting bursts of sparks...

finally,

She closed her eyes in despair, her face looking extremely sad.

[We can’t let others sacrifice…]

11B rolled his eyes as he listened to everyone's desperate words.

While the three were stunned, she hugged auxiliary machine 042 and ran to a hidden place.

Pod 153 was about to do something when he turned his head and saw

Eh? Where's he?

……

"YoRHa Unit 11B, do you have any questions?" Assist Unit 042 stretched out its robotic arm and scratched its head, asking in confusion.

"That's right, Mr. Assist 042." 11B asked calmly.

11 was flattered to hear 042B address him like that.

He stretched out his mechanical arm, straightened his posture, and looked at 11B solemnly and seriously.

Pod 042 sat upright, listening to 11B continue:

"If we only restore his logical analysis ability to normal, like a normal android. Is there any chance that he can return to normal?"

Well……

After hearing 11B's words, Assist 042 began to analyze the situation. After a while, he came to a conclusion and spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice:

"All defense programs in various parts of the body are based on the logical analysis of the 9M body itself and then run.

If 9M's logical analysis ability returns to normal, he may take the initiative to discover this strange program with a special protective shell that is spread all over his body and may take the initiative to uninstall it.

Correct!

This is the hope of breaking the deadlock. I will go and tell others..."

Pod 042 said happily, preparing to drift towards where everyone was, not paying any attention to her own human-like emotions.

suddenly,

A pair of slender hands grabbed him tightly from behind.

"YoRha 11B, what's wrong with you?" he asked, struggling.

11B cursed inwardly, then said awkwardly, "Tell them who you are going to send to die?"

Well……

Assisted Machine 042 froze for a moment, stopped struggling, and reacted.

"yes……"

He looked at 11B who was holding him tightly and asked, "What do you want?"

"I have a plan..."

"But... this..."

"it does not matter……"

She let go of Assist 042 and gently stroked his head.

Pod 042 seemed to be in a dilemma, and said nothing more.

Then a message is sent to auxiliary machine 153.
