Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1797: Chapter 942: At All Costs

City No. 10.

”Let’s go out and take a look,” Yi tugged on Zero’s arm in the villa, ”It’s so lively outside, and the Parent Association is evacuating too, let’s go see them.”

Zero looked helplessly at the little girl in front of him, ”You actually want me to go out more and then help them, right?”

”Not really, just to look,” Yi gazed expectantly at Zero.

Zero sighed, ”The war between humans has nothing to do with you and me. No matter which side wins, the joy of victory won’t belong to artificial intelligence.”

”That’s not true. If Qing Chen wins, I will be very happy,” Yi said with wide eyes, ”He’s my friend, he treats me well and understands me. If he wins, then I will feel joy.”

Zero looked seriously at Yi, ”Because you like him.”

Yi: ”... What are you talking about! That’s not true!”

”You’re not really good at lying,” Zero sat gracefully on the sofa, looking at the AI little girl in front of her, ”I checked your past records, you used to really like online dating.”

Yi: ”Ah...”

”But ever since you went to the West Continent with Qing Chen, you cut off all online relationships,” Zero said, ”But you should know, you are artificial intelligence, and he is human, this is an unchangeable fact.”

”But he doesn’t treat me like AI,” Yi said, ”He never rejects me.”

Zero sighed again, ”But what if everyone knew about your existence? Would he dare let everyone know you exist? Once other humans know you’re AI, they will remember the fear of being destroyed by me. Since returning to City No. 10, has he come to see you? Last night he came to ask me a few questions but left without even glancing at you.”

”The time isn’t right yet, he’s been very busy recently,” Yi whispered.

”Why invest so much in a human?” Zero was puzzled.

Yi fell silent.

After a long time, she suddenly looked up at Zero, ”Does liking someone mean you have to have them? Liking can just be liking. He has done so many things others can’t, become a dazzling person, and he’s so nice to me, isn’t it normal for me to like him? Meeting someone you like doesn’t mean you have to tightly grasp them, calculating daily who is better to whom. If you’re not nice to me, then I won’t be nice to you... That’s not liking.”

Yi retorted to Zero, ”Why equate ’having’ with ’liking’?”

This time, it was Zero who fell silent.

After a long time, Zero said, ”But in the end, one day, he will get married, he will have his own children, and you will no longer be in his life, you might not even hear about him anymore.”

Yi widened her eyes stubbornly, ”Success doesn’t have to depend on me!”

Zero: ”???”

Zero was stunned.

In her last war with humans, a large part of her failure was due to those six characters, Qing’s soldiers sacrificed themselves to buy time, conveying messages at the cost of their own lives.

She was not unfamiliar with those six characters.

However, she was hearing for the first time using those six characters in this context...

Such a refreshingly unique use!

Zero said, both amused and helpless, ”What nonsense! How is this different from misusing idioms!”

Yi forcibly pulled Zero out the door, ”Let’s go take a look!”

This time, Zero did not refuse again.

...

...

City No. 10 rarely had some chaos.

A large number of publicly identified Parent Association members packed their belongings and queued to enter the Key of Gate.

In human history, large migrations are usually due to war.

However, this time, the streets were not as harmonious and friendly as before, a middle-aged man stood on the street loudly questioning the Parent Association, ”You’re leaving just like that, what about us?”

”Yes, it’s not like us civilians can go to war, you have been resisting the West Continent for so long, and now you’re leaving, what about us?”

”Isn’t your responsibility to protect us?”

On the long street, the crowd spoke up, and the voices gradually became tumultuous.

Parent Association members patiently explained, ”We are leaving today to come back better one day in the future.”

The middle-aged man said loudly, ”Who knows if you’ll ever come back? Your previous propaganda videos also introduced what it’s like over on the West Continent, when they come, we will all become slaves!”

Parent Association members continued to patiently explain, ”But right now, our identity information could be leaked at any time, and the Central Plains have Chen Clan and the West Continent joining forces for an attack, we must retreat to the Southwest Region to establish a new defense line and gather all forces. If we expend all our troops now, there will be no one left to fight next.”

The middle-aged man said loudly, ”You are just running away! No need to explain so much! If you leave today, you are deserters!”

It proves that the emotions of the people are unpredictable, they might support you today, but despise you tomorrow.

In the long queue of the Parent Association, many family members clenched their fists.

They have fought for so long, facing the mouse tide they didn’t run, facing Deer Island they didn’t run, but now because of strategy they are called deserters.

This made it difficult for them to accept.

Someone picked up their phone, and in their ”Family Full of Love” group chat pleaded to stay, ”Let us stay, we are willing to die fighting here, we don’t want to leave!”
