The mechanic.

The battery of the cargo aircraft was so damaged that it was impossible to use the aircraft without replacement parts at hand.Zhang Xun kicked the fuselage discouragedly, but his foot hurt and his face was wrinkled.

When Diego and James saw this, they knew that it was impossible to make an aircraft, and there was only one way left—walking on two legs.

Simply the worst.

After watching around for four weeks, Enoch said, "According to the calculation of latitude and longitude and the surrounding terrain, this place should be near Guadalupe Mountain in Texas. If we travel to the southwest, according to human physical strength, we can travel about 40 kilometers per day. It will be able to enter the territory of Mexico in a few days, and it will not be far from Feathered Snake City."

"40 kilometers? We don't have much water, food and food left, unless there is a supply station on the road." James scratched the beard that had grown a lot on his chin irritably.

Enoch said in his gentle and steady voice, "During the Third World War, several major cities here were hit by devastating air raids. In addition, the land is dry and the climate is harsh, and the population is already very sparse. Most of the town is abandoned. Combined with the recent increase in the number of mobs, the chances of finding a supply station are not high."

Diego sneered, with sarcasm, "Thank you for your encouragement."

"We have to try." Zhang Xun turned to look at them, his face was covered with oil, but his eyes were firm, "Staying here will lead to a dead end whether you encounter mobs or mechanical police."

They recovered some compressed food and several bottles of drinking water from the dead driver's carry-on luggage, found two first-aid kits in the cargo hold, and stuffed them all in their carry-on luggage.As a robot, Enoch has the strongest endurance, carrying four or five packages on his body, almost like a walking luggage rack.The others also carried at least one luggage bag each.Like ants, a group of four stepped into the endless wilderness in front of them.

When the sun rises to noon, the earth seems to be steaming with heat.Zhang Xun's legs trembled as he walked, and his throat seemed to burst into flames.But he was reluctant to drink the remaining water in the bottle, worried that he would never find a source of water on the way.

Both James and Diego also showed signs of exhaustion, only Enoch, who was carrying a mountain of luggage in front, was still walking like flying.

Zhang Xun suddenly envied these robots that can move by solar energy...

Except for a short break at noon, they hardly stopped until the sun went down, and then they found a place close to the exposed rocks to stop and rest.Zhang Xun, who hastily ate compressed food to satisfy his hunger, feels that there is probably nothing more unpalatable in the world than these polymer compound foods that only focus on practicality and don't care about taste, as if they are gnawing on a broken brick.

When night fell, Diego was snoring loudly next to him, and James was keeping watch not far away.Zhang Xun Mingming was so tired that his legs were about to break, but he couldn't sleep because of the noise.

Suddenly, a pair of hands gently covered his ears, and the thunderous snoring sound suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Xun raised his eyes and saw Enoch's face upside down in his field of vision.In the light of the stars and the moon, the blue glass bead-like eyes lacked the dry and artificial texture of machinery, and were a little more... agility similar to the soul.

Zhang Xun realized that there was some kind of audio coming from Cong Enuo's palm, which happened to cancel out Diego's snoring and all kinds of white noise in the surrounding wilderness.He was amazed at the comprehensive and sophisticated programming of the service robot, and curiously reached out and grabbed Enoch's hand.

Enoch blinked his eyes a few times, and let Zhang Xun grab his hand and look carefully at the small hole where the sound came out.Zhang Xun couldn't see that Enuo's eyes were completely human at this time, and a faint melancholy lingered between his brows.

"Enoch, do you remember who your administrator is?" Zhang Xun suddenly asked softly.

Enoch nodded, "I remember. All AIs will remember all their administrators."

"AI will have a special... bondage to its administrators. Some people say that in order to achieve their goals, AI must extend their lifespan as long as possible, and administrators have the most power to determine their fate. But I've always wondered, do AIs have special preferences between different admins? If so, why?"

Zhang Xun wasn't sure if he was asking Enoch or talking to himself.However, Enoch still answered, "I rarely interact with other robots, and the data I get is limited. But as far as I am concerned, I have preferences."

Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, and there seemed to be bits and pieces of hope in his eyes.

Enoch tilted his head slightly, as if he was recalling the memory stored in the hard disk, "Every administrator has different abilities and interacts with us in different ways. The administrator who has the deepest and most complicated interaction with me regards me as a Human beings like him give affection, and he's a very lonely man."

Zhang Xun felt as if there were many small needles pricking his chest. He wanted to laugh at himself, laughing at himself for wanting to get a little comfort from a service robot.Wanting to hold on to even a little thing to make sure that everything he and Adam had between him was real.

"Is he still your administrator?" Zhang Xun asked.

Enoch paused for a long time, beyond the reaction time of ordinary AI, "He is not anymore."

"Will you remember him?"

Enoch nodded, "Yes, I randomly call up a memory of the time I was with him every day. I realized that revisiting those data can help me run more smoothly, although I'm not sure why."

Zhang Xun knows that AI does not have a human body, so it is impossible to have the same emotions as humans.But perhaps, AI can also generate emotions, but it is just an interactive process that lacks romance in the eyes of humans and is more alienated and rooted in reality.

Zhang Xun looked at this service robot who seemed to have some inexplicable affection for him, and he missed the other pair of blue eyes more and more.

They set out on the road again when the sky was getting dark, hoping to catch up with the weather before noon.However, after walking about ten miles away, Enoch suddenly stopped, turned his head to a line of defense, and listened carefully.

"What's wrong?" James asked nervously.

"I heard... the sound of a motor vehicle." Enoch said with some confusion.

motor vehicle?Isn't this kind of antique thing unique to Paradise Lost?

Diego and James both changed their colors in embarrassment, immediately put down their salutes, escaped from their guns, and looked around warily.Now they are surrounded by grassy plains, and there is no place to hide.In the distance, they could see a tumbling line sweeping across from a distance.

It was the smoke, the smoke from the locomotives, and the music crackling in the air.

Without waiting for the opponent to kill him, Zhang Xun guessed that it was a mob.

Maybe it's the same wave they provoked before.

In recent years, due to the rise of Feathered Snake City, the border between the United States and Mexico has not been peaceful.Many people who rebelled against Eden gathered in this wasteland destroyed by the war and established their own isolated kingdoms.It's just that these people are not like the refugee country, they don't have much organizational discipline, and more often they burn, kill and loot, enjoying their anarchist "freedom".

Zhang Xun didn't know much about mobs, he was just instinctively afraid.The animal-like screams from those people, as well as the hoarse music, let him know clearly that these people are a bit like a certain group of people in Paradise Lost...

And he never got along with this group of people...

Soon, black locomotives surrounded them with dust from the sky, continuously circling them.Those people wrapped in leather clothes and wearing skull masks brandished iron chains, iron bars and guns, and shouted like apes.

Two soldiers and a robot surrounded Zhang Xun, who had the least combat effectiveness, in the middle, each grasped the weapons in their hands, and put on a fighting posture.And Zhang Xun only felt cold sweat all over his body.

A locomotive stopped amidst the smoke and dust, the leader took off his helmet, and his long red hair fell down.A young man with tattoos under his eyes eyed them haughtily.

"Three men plus a robot. Are you fleeing?" The man's voice was lazy, like a cat basking in the sun.

James pointed the gun at him and said calmly, "We just want to cross the border and don't want to cause trouble."

"If you don't want to cause trouble, you shouldn't touch our people." The man with long red hair stepped down from the locomotive, not caring about James' gun, pacing slowly around them like a predator, "Are you Where did it come from?"

James snorted and said, "Tell you where it came from, so you won't kill us?"

"Maybe. It depends on your mood." The red-haired man scratched somewhere on the helmet he was holding on his hand as he spoke, as if absent-minded.

Diego coughed and said jokingly, "Brother, if you like our sharpshooter, we can leave him to you, can you let us go?"

James gave him a stern look.The red-haired man sneered, "I can also keep you all. Or throw you into the high-radiation area and let you rot to death bit by bit."

Zhang Xun suddenly said, "We came from Paradise Lost."

The red-haired man turned his head, his expression seemed to change subtly, "Paradise Lost? The one who stole Eden's North American server?"

Zhang Xun nodded, "Yes, it's us."

As soon as these words came out, for some reason, the group of mobs who were crazy and looking like they were about to kill someone just now stopped suddenly, and their eyes were all focused on them.

James realized Zhang Xun's thoughts.Since most of these mobs are members of the underworld who resisted Eden, for them, those who can cause serious damage to Eden are heroes.

The premise is that they don't know the reality that Paradise Lost has begun to be anti-killed and brainwashed by Adam, and they will not take them to the mechanical police to get paid.

Suspiciously, the red-haired man massacred the three of them again, pondered for a while, and said, "Bring them all back to me."
