The mechanic.

After Zhang Xun and Ganon were pushed through an iron door, they suddenly saw a blood-stained man with a bruised nose and a swollen face sitting against the wall in that simple prison cell, with his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or in a coma.

But Zhang Xun still recognized it at a glance, it was James.

Zhang Xun rushed over immediately, and first checked the opponent's breath.Although the breathing is weak, it really carries the heat of life.Zhang Xun let out a long breath, and a layer of cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.He reached out and patted James' cheek lightly, "Jamie? Jamie?"

James' eyelids struggled vigorously, as if stuck by endless exhaustion.One eye was so swollen that it couldn't be opened, and only the other eye barely opened a crack.Seeing Zhang Xun's face with bruises on his cheeks in a daze, James was not sure if he was dreaming for a moment.

"Ah... Axun?"

Zhang Xun finally laughed, a kind of laugh that was almost relieved when a boulder fell to the ground.

Great, he wasn't late...

But James woke up suddenly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Xun's shoulder, "A Xun?! Why are you here?!"

Ganon stood aside, folded his arms and said coldly, "We're here to investigate the people in Feather Snake City and rescue you by the way. But now it looks like we're going to die here together."

James was shocked, "But why did Zhang Xun come?! Where is Adam? You won't bring Adam too?!"

"That artificial intelligence is probably being honored as a guest of honor by Feather Snake City." Ganon said, with anger and disappointment flashing in his eyes, he stared at Zhang Xun, "Aren't you very capable? Didn't you say you can control it?" His? Now it seems that you are just talking big. "

Zhang Xun did not respond to his complaint, and asked James in a low voice, "How is your injury?"

"I'm fine. These wounds look scary, but they're actually skin wounds, and they've begun to heal." James didn't mention that the torture methods used by the people of Feather Snake City often use a kind of extremely strong hormone imbalance. Most of the trauma caused by drugs of fear is on the spiritual level.He looked at the bruises on Zhang Xun's cheeks, his eyes flashed with flames of anger, "They tortured you too?"

"No." Zhang Xun replied simply, "At least not yet."

"These psychopathic bastards..." James cursed under his breath, as if afraid of being heard.Zhang Xun realized that he saw dread and fear in the eyes of James, who had always been fearless.

He was a little worried.

"Adam rebelled." Ganon said, "I think this group of Feathered Snake City people will fall into the hands of that AI sooner or later. Everything was calculated by it from the beginning. Mechanic, I said, didn't you install something?" Remote control of his mechanism to make his brain explode? I don't believe you only have a collar for protection."

Zhang Xun said calmly, "Even if we kill Adam now, we won't be able to escape."

"That will drag him to hell!"

"Let's not talk about whether we humans have souls." Zhang Xun turned his head and looked at Ganon with calm and maddening eyes, "Do you think AI has the concept of going to hell?"

"Don't talk to me! Do you have any ideas?! You claim to be the best mechanic in Paradise Lost, why don't you even have such precautions?!" Ganon suddenly strode forward and grabbed Zhang Xun's arm The collar almost lifted him up, "Or are you brainwashed and controlled by him at all? Are you with him?!"

"Ganon! Calm down." James stood up while leaning on the wall, and put his hand on Ganon's wrist, "You said Adam betrayed, what's going on?"

So Ganon recounted the situation when Adam suddenly appeared outside and told everything.The more James heard it, the more frightened he became. He looked at Zhang Xun for a while, "Really?"

Zhang Xun didn't speak.

"But...what's wrong..." James shook his head inexplicably, "If he planned even the séance plan, then it would be easy for him to destroy Paradise Lost. Why waste such a big deal?"

"Adam doesn't hate men." Zhang Xun finally said, "He's just been faithfully carrying out his original goal."

"Listen, listen! I knew this fucking mechanic had been brainwashed long ago! They shouldn't have let him tame Adam, look at how weak he is!"

Ganon's words full of contempt and anger fell into Zhang Xun's ears, and it seemed that they did not stir up any waves, but in fact it made things worse in Zhang Xun's heart.

He wanted to believe Adam, but what if that was the truth?

He never knew it took so much effort to believe.He had to press the necklace on his chest with his hand to regain some strength.

At this time, James made a distinct sound of gasping for air, and the place where he had been kicked in the abdomen when he stood up just now was in pain again.Zhang Xun hurriedly supported him, took off his coat and put it on the ground, and helped James to sit back.James suddenly grabbed Zhang Xun's arm tightly, and whispered in a low voice, "Axun, didn't you say that you installed a standby program for Adam? Is there a reason why you didn't use it?"

Zhang Xun glanced at James, and without answering, James vaguely understood what was going on.

After being locked up in the cell for an unknown amount of time, a groove on the iron door in the middle opened, and someone pushed three plates of food in.But because they were worried about some strange drugs being added to the food, none of the three of them touched the food.Later, I was hungry, my mouth was dry and thirsty, and my mind began to feel dizzy because of exhaustion.When Zhang Xun leaned against the wall and gradually slipped into an uneasy and secure dream, the closed cell door was suddenly opened.

In a daze, Zhang Xun felt two pairs of tyrannical hands withdraw him.He was forcibly stripped from the dream, and he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, only to hear James shouting angrily, "What are you doing! Let him go! Something is coming at me!"

Then there was a muffled groan, and a strong Feather Snake City soldier kicked James down.The right arm of another soldier instantly transformed into a huge laser gun, pointing in the direction of Cannon and James.

"Be honest! Do you think you haven't been beaten enough?" the soldier threatened.

When Zhang Xun was dragged out of the cell, he only had time to turn around and shout to James, "It's okay!"

He was escorted by several soldiers and passed several other similar cells.The small windows on the iron door were all closed, but He Yuxin and Jabari were probably locked in a few of these cells.Although it was a temporary base with exposed steel everywhere, the entire corridor was clean and bright, without any blind spots or redundant things. It was obviously carefully designed.

"Where are you taking me?" Zhang Xun asked.

No one answered him.

He was brought into the elevator, and then entered the vast underground space he had seen before, but this time he was on a suspended ladder built in midair with steel bars and iron plates.Zhang Xun noticed that the mechas and those strangely shaped aircraft were still sleeping on several runways, but the number of staff was much smaller.

He was ushered into a brightly lit room full of screens and consoles, roughly the command room here.The soldiers forced him to sit on a chair, handcuffed his hands and feet, stepped back and stood aside.

Not long after, several people entered the room.Zhang Xun saw Adam walking in the middle at a glance.

At this time, Adam had already changed from the battle uniform of Paradise Lost, and put on a neat white feather serpent city officer uniform.His gait is calm and perfect, and his eyes are indifferent with a half-smile, as if he has never known Zhang Xun.

The one who walked in the front was General Muruk, and there were three other people, two of whom were probably also the generals of Feather Serpent City who participated in this secret operation, and a man who looked a bit like a mechanic.

These people sat down on a few chairs opposite Zhang Xun, looking over with their eyes.Zhang Xun immediately felt as if he was some kind of commodity for sale.

"You are Zhang Xun, the final executor of the Shenshen Project." The man in a white coat who looked like a mechanic said, "Very admirable design and courage. You are the first person in the world to achieve the combination of man and machine. Someone who achieves this level of integration."

Zhang Xun was stunned, he was ready to be tortured, why did he suddenly start to praise him?

Zhang Xun, who was inadvertently used to being praised by strangers, replied with a little embarrassment, "Uh...thank you?"

Adam looked at him with a smile, even a little proud.

Muruk opened his mouth and said, "I heard that you didn't receive the attention you deserved in Paradise Lost, and some people have even been trying to sabotage your séance plan?"

Zhang Xun glanced at Adam and said, "It's not sabotage. It's just daily supervision."

"Really? I heard that your round table wants to replace you several times?"

"..."

Muruk cleared his throat slightly, and continued, "I won't talk nonsense anymore. Feather Serpent City needs talents like you. If you immigrate to Feather Serpent City, we will do our best to provide you with any supplies you need. to help you with your research."

Zhang Xun frowned, was this proposed by Adam?

Let him join Feathered Snake City?

What are you doing?Adam clearly knew that he could not agree.

"Thank you for your appreciation and kindness, but I'm sorry, I can't agree." Zhang Xun replied clearly.

"Why? Because your father was the Commander of Paradise Lost?" the mechanic asked.

Did Adam have to tell them even this? !

Zhang Xun stared at Adam, and replied, "Even if he is not, I will not join the enemy."

"You are wrong, we are not your enemy. We just want to survive." The mechanic of Feather Snake City said, "How far can you go in the way you are now? If Eden completely blocks you and prevents you from going out Hunting, your food will run out within three months. If Eden hadn't left us a way out, we wouldn't have survived until now."

"So you say you are a refugee country on the surface, but you are actually working for Eden?" Zhang Xun gradually understood, "What did Eden ask you to help him?"

"Let them take you and me out of Paradise Lost. After all, after the last bombing, Eden doesn't want to add more casualties to the ordinary world." Adam finally spoke.He leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, put his hands on his lap, and said calmly, "My investigation of Paradise Lost is over, and you are the only one worth bringing out of Paradise Lost."

Zhang Xun looked at him quietly, then turned his head and looked around at everyone in the room.Then, he dropped his gaze, and his shoulders began to shake.

He starts laughing.

"Adam, why do you do this? You learned how to be a human being so quickly. You even learned the hypocrisy of human beings so much." Zhang Xun raised his head, his eyes froze coldly, "You don't want to take me away at all. You are Afraid, I will activate that thing on your forehead."

The atmosphere in the room has undergone a subtle change, and the calmness that had been whitewashed just now has gradually become tense.

Adam had no intention of backing down, and stared at Zhang Xun tit for tat.He slowly stood up and walked towards Zhang Xun, and the latter had to raise his head to maintain a confrontation in his eyes.

But this kind of disadvantage of being in a low place cannot be suppressed by the aura of force.

"Hehehe..." Zhang Xun never knew that Adam could laugh so...evilly, "Do you really think I can't break your encryption method?" Adam reached out and touched the diamond-shaped device on his forehead.

"If that's the case, what are you waiting for?" Zhang Xun also smiled, a sneer that didn't reach the corner of his eyes, "Take it off? Or are you afraid that I have other tricks? After all, you are now Mortals, if you die, you will have nothing.” After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Muruk and the others, “You actually cooperated with the chief culprit who persecuted you to this point, and framed your brother city-state instead… ...you bullying bastards!"

Zhang Xun seems to be using the word coward for the first time.The moment I said it, I really felt very happy, no wonder those soldiers like to use this word to curse people...

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came over and pressed something cold on his neck.In the next moment, an ice-like electric current passed through his body.He let out a scream, and the muscles all over his body began to convulse and twitch, excruciatingly painful, as if his whole body was about to shrink.But the shackles on his hands and feet restricted his movement, and his whole body was writhing on the chair like a dehydrated fish...

Fortunately, the coefficient of the soldier's electric shock device was not adjusted very high. After a few seconds of excruciating pain, he finally managed to catch his breath.Even so, he was also extremely embarrassed, with uncontrollable tears and snot overflowing.

During the whole process, Adam stood by, without blinking his eyes.

Zhang Xun felt a chill spread in his chest accompanied by soreness.

He remembered that he had also told Adam that if he had tasted the electric shock, he would never propose to issue collar controllers to every team member.

Unexpectedly, the first person to experience the electric shock was himself...

"I don't think it's a good idea, soldier." Adam Shi said calmly, "This mechanic implanted some controllers and trackers into his own body. If your current accidentally triggers some unknown function , will bring me no small risk."

The soldier immediately showed horror, "I'm sorry..."

Zhang Xun gasped for breath, his body was still shaking uncontrollably.He felt Adam's hand lightly fall on his neck, which made him shiver fiercely.

The hand slid along his neck, gently slid to the back of his head, resting on the top of his hair.

"My dear mechanic, if you don't want to go to Feathered Snake City, I won't force you. However, I need you to do one thing for me. After this thing is done, I can let you and your companions leave, absolutely not embarrassing you."

Zhang Xun raised his head and looked into Adam's eyes.

At this moment, Adam's eyes seem to have returned to the way they were in the Lab, sincere and gentle like a child.

Is this sentence true or false?

Should he just go with the line or continue playing his death-rather-than-submission character?

Had he never been the only one who thought it was a play, and Adam had been watching his play?

Zhang Xun was not sure, never could be sure, he could only ask based on feeling, "What do you want me to do?"

"It was you who completed the trance. Only you have the ability to help me 'Nirvana'." Adam said, looking at a huge screen wall on the right, "The people in Feather Snake City have the latest developed server, which is very small Easy to transport. I want you to help me upload my core module and database back to the cloud."

The author has something to say: I was so sleepy yesterday that I didn't come out again...
