That's Not How You Use a Condom! / What's... Back There?

"Both the TX and T-3000 series possess True Electronic Infection Capability. What use is a body cobbled together from the T-1000?!"

"If you can stall for ten minutes, I'll definitely sell it to you without hesitation!"

Kevin rolled his eyes, turned his head away, and grumbled, striking a fierce pose.

Having thoroughly read the "Product Function Manual," the commander had long since given up hope for the Princess's combat capabilities.

Holographic Skin, Orchestral Level Variation, top-of-the-line sound card configuration, even the Storage Chip is crammed with lyrics and sheet music...

This guy is just a pretty face with no substance; he's not even good enough to be kept as a support character. He's probably only good for shouting "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").

Now, Sarah, who's half-dead, is already giving him enough of a headache. Kevin thinks he can still save her if he gets rid of them both quickly.

"Go to hell, you scum!"

Hatsune Miku, whose face was already contorted with a look of utter despair, stomped her feet and cursed in anger upon hearing the commander's disdain. Then, she picked up Sarah and decisively ran towards the actual helipad.

Tsk tsk, even though it's only 158cm tall and has short legs, at least the T-1000's Metal Frame has decent load-bearing capacity. It can even run faster than a rabbit while carrying Sarah...

At this moment, Kevin continued to hold the Electromagnetic Hand Cannon, firing as he retreated.

Fortunately, Electromagnetic Weapons, while unable to fundamentally damage the T-3000 like the Skyfire Greatsword, could still disrupt the nanobots' mutual positioning and slow down the T-3000's aggregation.

Therefore, Kevin, who was just looking disheveled, now had the leisure to take medication to recover and relax.

However, the Electromagnetic Hand Cannon has a fatal flaw—high energy consumption and small magazine capacity...

Therefore, before the commander could even catch his breath, the Electromagnetic Hand Cannon had already stopped beeping.

Temporarily freed from its restraints, the T-3000 reassembled its head, its eyes gleaming red, as four "Hunter Killer" drones circled and surrounded it.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four muffled gunshots rang out in succession as the drone was shot down in mid-air by Shino Asada from the church Clock Tower.

"Turn left in 15 meters! I'm covering..."

The Bluetooth headset, which had been removed from the nanobots' range, received a response from the team members again.

However, before Kevin could make a move, two dark red laser beams swept across the church Clock Tower as the T-3000 turned its head.

Instantly, Shino Asada's Unit 7, along with the entire building, was sliced in two!

"[World Tree] Squad, Unit 7, silence, shrink formation, wait! Converge on [Funeral Parlor] Squad!"

Kevin's hands clenched involuntarily, his nails digging into his palms. However, the commander, guided by reason, had already made the optimal decision the instant the T-3000 station turned its head.

Without hesitation, he spread his Wings and charged forward through the dark alleyways.

But the T-3000 immediately disintegrated into Silver-gray Nanites, which swept in like sandstorms.

As the distance between the two sides drew closer, a battle blade flashing with Dark Red Arc was swung out diagonally, dispersing all the silver-gray dust and mist in its path.

At that moment, at the entrance of the alley leading to the helipad, A2, who was leaning against the wall for support, drew a small sword— Type 40 Tactical Sword —with one hand.

Immediately, her skin began to shimmer with a dark red light, and her steps, steady as she walked, turned into running, causing visible ripples in the air!

"Get out of the way!"

A2 leaped over Kevin's head, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and slashed at the re-formed T-3000 with a cold shout.

"Laugh!"

Thanks to the special material of the battle blade, the nanobots on the T-3000 died off in droves, and each of A2's cuts accelerated the shrinking of the monster's body.

"Bang!"

However, this fierce onslaught lasted only a few breaths before A2's skin began to crack noticeably, and the Tactical Sword, under the dying corrosion of the nanobots, finally wailed and exploded inch by inch.

My turn! Rebels!

The T-3000, barely able to reconstruct its form, reached out and grabbed A2's neck, where layers of artificial muscles were peeling away, its sharp fingers piercing her spine.

"Roll!"

The figure near the exit actually turned back to the scene, Skyfire Greatsword transformed into a flame three or four meters long, slicing off a large number of nanobots from the T-3000.

The monster's left arm was already unable to hold on, and its torso was as fragile as pieced-together shards of glass, but Kevin, who was forcibly unleashing the Skyfire Greatsword, was not much better off.

The capillaries on the commander's arm burst open, and purplish-red Honkai Crystals spread across his skin.

Now, after rounds of fighting, not only the battle between Kevin and T-3000, but also the battle between the SCP Foundation and the Terminator Force has reached a stalemate, with each side running out of steam.

After a brief standoff, the few remaining Terminators of various models frantically moved towards the location of the T-3000, while the leader, under cover of this, leaped headfirst into the Gear-shaped Teleportation Device carrying the A2.

At the same time, the portal began to close, and the Terminators present were divided into two groups: one group was responsible for intercepting the SCP Foundation, while the other group of advanced mechs began to evacuate.

In the instant that thin film twisted and shattered, a black and white afterimage rushed into the doorway, and the overloaded short-range transfer device exploded with a deafening roar!

P. S.: Shino Asada's affection level increased by 10.

Asuna's affection +2

Yuzuriha Inori's affection level +5

Hatsune Miku's favorability -20

A2 is currently undecided.

Chapter 263, Section 277: That's not how you use a condom!

A marine area west of Los Angeles.

A fierce wind blew, and the sea surged with waves. On the churning water, a blue ice crystal with white spherical objects tied around its edges bobbed and floated.

The seagulls, which had been patrolling the sky for a long time, could not contain their curiosity and swooped down, landing on the lifeless, broken body in the center of the ice.

The thing's skin had peeled off, revealing several gruesome wounds, and even the internal alloy skeleton was visible.

The little white creature hopped around on it, blinking its big, black eyes, and curiously examined its "trophy." Then it pecked at her chest, belly, and forehead with its beak.

Suddenly, the "trophies" jingled and clanged, and the noise they made brought death down silently.

"Puff!"

A dagger shot from underwater severed the seagull's neck. After a few instinctive flaps, it collapsed onto the ice, spurting blood.

At this moment, a pale-faced man surfaced from the sea, rolled with all his might onto the ice, grabbed the convulsing seagull carcass, aimed it at its neck, and opened his mouth to catch the salty blood.

Although the food didn't taste very good, the energy boost helped him regain some strength.

"Hey, this gift for our first meeting... it's really nice to use..."

The man slumped onto the ice, listlessly pursed his lips, and then took out a half-open box of Durex from his jacket pocket with his right hand.

However, the way they used it is absolutely fucking awful!

Immediately, the survivors adrift at sea, both amused and disgusted, squeezed the seagull's remaining blood into the condom.

I was so stupid to rush into the portal, I'm such an idiot...

Unlucky Kevin glanced at A2, who was still motionless, and had given up on arguing. He leaned back and lay flat next to her.

In the final moments of the battle in Las Vegas, the commander, in a moment of madness, recklessly rushed into the portal.

The ensuing explosion caused the spatial tunnel to collapse, allowing Kevin to seize the opportunity to retrieve A2 from the scattered nanobots of the T-3000.

Ultimately, the two people thrown out by the Spatial Rift became tragic sea wanderers.

Even worse, A2's body became inactive and fell into hibernation, and Kevin himself was only holding on by sheer willpower. In that situation, he simply couldn't support the weight of the two of them.

Fortunately, the evolution points from hunting Terminators allowed his physical functions to undergo a second comprehensive upgrade. His four basic stats—strength, perception, agility, and physique—all surpassed the 20 mark.

Some notable characteristics began to emerge from the commanders.

For example, the breakthrough in strength and physique brings "tenacity"; the breaking of shackles in agility and perception endows him with "sensitivity," and so on.

More importantly, practical talents such as "Short-term Underwater Breathing" and "Low-level Self-Healing" are awakened.

In fact, as [Apocalypse] says, humanity is like a huge treasure trove, because the prosperity of industrial society has made us far removed from the wildness of nature.

Our ancestors were once able to fight lions and tigers, possessed the keen intuition of Beast, and even had the ability to breathe underwater in the genetic fragments they inherited from amphibians.

But all sorts of instincts are gradually forgotten by our increasingly frail bodies.

With the support of Angel Gene and the optimization guidance of [Apocalypse], those hidden and useless genes such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and color blindness will be gradually eliminated in the process of evolution.

And the talents that were abandoned—flight, Night Vision, healing, underwater breathing, Super Smell —will be replenished and awakened by the evolutionary energy that is injected back into the body.

Of course, in the process of evolution, every species has its own strengths and weaknesses that it needs to make.

Therefore, Kevin's greatest strength still lies in his talent for mental specialization; the other special abilities have a fixed upper limit and are merely icing on the cake.

In addition, besides the comprehensive upgrade that the Angel Gene shortened the biological evolution process, the Ice and Snow Gene bestowed upon him by the World Will also have a 20% awakening rate.

The resulting visible effect finally came in handy—lowering the surrounding temperature and causing small-scale icing.

That's why, with the buoyancy of the inflated condom, these ice layers were able to transport the A2, which weighs over 300 pounds.

Otherwise, even if Kevin had managed to embrace this robot girl, his Mental Power was so depleted that he couldn't even transform into wings, he could only have perished at the bottom of the sea with her at the worst.

The temperature has been so low these days, it's chilly, and the sea breeze is so strong that my skin has cracked. All my electronic devices are broken, and I have no Pathway to contact my teammates. These days on the raft are tough...

Kevin ended with a sigh, picked up the condom, and swallowed a mouthful of still-warm blood, but nausea followed.

"Damn it, that's not how you use a condom!" the commander roared inwardly, almost bursting into tears.

Kevin, who had rescued a damsel in distress in Las Vegas that night and accepted a "gift," had been hinted at and thought something steamy was about to happen.

(Even if they don't actually do it, a man's vanity will be greatly satisfied.)

As a result, he actually used this thing as an emergency water bag...

He vowed that from now on, he would fight any of those vixens who made him wear a condom!

Filled with regret, the commander's resentful gaze was drawn to A2's profile.

As Machine Lifeforms designed to serve humanity, the appearance of the YoRHa Unit is basically designed and generated according to human aesthetics over thousands of years, and each one of them is far superior to many Hollywood stars.

Even with damaged skin coating, A2's beauty remains undiminished, resembling a porcelain doll with cracked skin.

Bored out of his mind, Kevin cleaned the stains off A2 as usual, then sneakily rested his head on her chest, listening intently to see if the artificial organs inside her cavity had regained their activity.

Although this was a routine check he performed every few days, the commander wouldn't easily take his ears off for at least half an hour each time.

After all, their physical structure and function are very different from humans, so it's necessary to be cautious.

Still not fully awake today?

With no movement for a while, Kevin somewhat helpless and prepared to withdraw his body to begin his next plan.

Unexpectedly, a dull echo came from within A2's abdominal cavity, the rhythm of life growing stronger until it was deafening... almost deafening?

Kevin looked up in surprise toward the source of the sound, only to find that the outline of an island was already visible in the distance, and a speedboat was speeding toward the ice.

The commander looked at the well-dressed, fashionable men and women celebrating on the deck and found them more endearing than ever before, so much so that he was almost moved to tears.

After being smuggled for so long... finally... we're about to reach the shore!

What comes after Chapter 264, Section 278...?

Caterina Island, Police Station.

"Name..."

"Kevin Lee..."

"Gender..."

"Do I need to take my pants off so you can see?"

"American? What's your green card number and Social Security account number?"

"Brother, I just survived a shipwreck and was pulled from the water. I'm a victim! A law-abiding citizen!"

"Could I call my lawyer first? OK?"

"I'm waiting for help!"
