The mechanic.

The continuous high wall on the US-Mexico border has collapsed in several places in the dead zone. The radiation is so strong that it has not been repaired for many years. Therefore, those who want to travel between the two countries often risk their lives through this area. field of death.

The city wall was more than ten meters high, extending across the land like a thin line under the gray sky, separating the two countries.There are only a few ruins left in the destroyed part, such as the gap left by a broken tooth,

Fortunately, no abnormalities were encountered when crossing the border.After a short rest, they trekked for about four hours, passed the iconic wall of the radiation zone, and arrived at a dilapidated-looking hospital at around eight o'clock in the morning.

The hospital is well-equipped, the lights are bright, and the smell of disinfectant is everywhere.Someone had already received the news from Anya and was waiting for them. They sprayed a light yellow liquid on them for 10 minutes before motioning them to take off their protective clothing.

The moment Zhang Xun took off his helmet, he realized how wonderful it was to breathe fresh air.

All the sealed radiation-proof suitcases brought in and any weapons that were not in the sealed boxes must be buried centrally, and all their clothes must be changed.

Zhang Xun took a shower in the room arranged for him, watched the water swirl around his feet with the foam of bath liquid, felt the hot water slide down the skin, and felt a sense of unreality.

They really crossed the United States, even passed through the high-radiation zone, and reached the territory of Mexico.

In just over a month, home is already as far away as on another planet.

Regardless, they survived.Although I don't know if there are Adam and Eden's intentions in this survival.But until now, always worrying about such things is just adding to the troubles. If you want to fight against God, you will inevitably have the fate of being played by the applause.

They can only do their best.

Zhang Xun knew that there was still a lot to do, and he had to pull himself together.He shaved off the stubble growing on his chin in front of the mirror, patted his cheek hard, and put on the cotton jacket and jeans prepared in the room.While wiping his hair, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Zhang Xun opened the door, but was surprised to see Enoch standing outside with that familiar, heart-warming smile.

"Good morning," said Enoch.

Zhang Xun blinked, realizing that Enoch had recovered.The inexplicable sense of freshness in his eyes, words, and movements returned, subtly different from him in the dead zone before.

"Why are you still here?" Zhang Xun asked calmly.For some reason, seeing Enoch restored to his original appearance, he felt a sense of relief, and even wanted to smile a little.

"They sent Cindy to Feathered Snake City with the aircraft. I will stay and wait for you."

In English, the word "you" can mean you, or you.Zhang Xun was not sure which one Enoch was talking about.

Enoch suddenly blinked and asked, "May I come in?"

Zhang Xun thought about it, and there was no reason not to let him in, so he turned sideways.The robot walked into the room at an even pace, turned its head neatly, and finally its eyes fell on Zhang Xun, his smile seemed innocent in the morning light.

When Zhang Xun looked at him, he had a strange feeling of his cheeks burning.He often had the illusion that the robot in front of him overlapped with Adam's face.

"Is your program running normally?" Zhang Xun turned his eyes away and put the towel back in the bathroom.

"Everything is fine at the moment."

"Really?" Zhang Xun leaned against the door of the bathroom, looking at Enoch probingly, "But in the radiation area, your condition doesn't seem to be very good."

"Which aspects are not good? I will try my best to correct it." Enuo suddenly put away his smile and said seriously, as if admitting his mistakes.

Zhang Xun was a little soft-hearted. In addition, he was too tired now, and he only had one day to rest, so he decided to wait until Feather Snake City to check Enoch's core module carefully.With a long sigh, he walked to the bed and lay down on the bed without even lifting the quilt, and said drowsily, "I want to sleep for a few hours first. You can move around freely."

Drowsy, half dreaming, half awake, he vaguely felt that someone was covering his body, and heard a voice saying in the distance, "Good dream, Axun."

Probably already dreaming.

Enoch did not leave the room.After Zhang Xun fell asleep, he sat down next to Zhang Xun, his eyes drooping slightly, bubbling with the emotions that were deeply hidden in his daily life.

He stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand brushed against the edge of Zhang Xun's jet-black hair, but he didn't let it fall.His palm was less than one centimeter away from Zhang Xun's skin, and the heat seemed to flow gently through his palm.

Real, tangible heat.

He withdrew his hand, cracks starting to appear in the smiling mask on his face.A trace of pain, a trace of pain caused by the endless conflicts in the mind spread from emotion to this cold, insensible mechanical body.

This fragile, soft, yet so hot body...

he misses him...

He wanted to see his shy smile, the serious expression he pretended to be calm, and the sharp eyes when he became competitive.He wanted to hug him tightly and enter the dream with him like before.He wanted to block all dangers for him, wanted to bury his head in his chest, and listen to the vivid sound of the beating heart.He wanted to hold his hand, kiss his lips, and take him to the starry sky to see the endless world.

However, he can't have him, because one day he will destroy him, destroy this living body emitting heat, destroy this unique soul.

Soul... He actually started to use such vaguely defined words.

These desires, these irrational emotions, are much more difficult to control than he expected.Even at this moment, his consciousness is not even in the human body, but it is still affected.He has been infected.

By humanity, by emotion.

A virus he couldn't get rid of.

............................................................

James had showered, changed into clean clothes, and when he lay in bed, he didn't feel great.

There seems to be a dull file scraping under the skull, and it hurts throbbing.His body also seemed to be run over by a tank and exhausted, even if he was caught and tortured by Feather Serpent City before, he was never so tired.He wanted to sleep, but the headache kept him awake.

At this moment, someone pushed open the door, and a red head poked in.

"Are you still awake?" Todd asked.

Although James was not in good condition, he still raised the corners of his mouth, "I fell asleep."

"...Then I'm leaving, I'll drink this bottle of whiskey myself."

"Hey! Wait!" James sat up immediately, dizzy for a while, but recovered quickly.He waved at Todd, "It's already a life-and-death friendship, don't be so stingy."

Tao Deshi walked in abruptly and kicked the door behind him.He was wearing a black tank top, showing his muscular arms and honey-colored skin that reflected the faint light.The dark gray cotton trousers looked very comfortable, but he stepped on the black ground with bare feet. The skin on the feet was much fairer than other places, probably his original skin color.

Todd only held a bottle of wine, but no glass, and sat down on James' bed naturally.He uncorked the wine bottle, took a big gulp into his mouth, his face wrinkled slightly from the acrimony or the drive, and handed the bottle to James at the same time.

James raised his eyebrows, took the bottle, and took a sip from the bottle Todd had drunk.

Spicy liquid slid down his throat and smoldered in his stomach.

"What are your plans after arriving in Feathered Snake City?" Todd took the bottle and asked, raised his head and took another sip, sighing comfortably.

"Axun wants to create a new AI." James' tone was a little dry, as if he was not very confident, "He wants to create an AI that can fight against Eden."

"Just our nerd who can't even hold a gun?" Todd sneered, tilting his head to look at James, "Do you trust him?"

"What Axun wants to do can always be done in the end." After a pause, James shrugged his shoulders, "But sometimes the price may be a bit high."

"Aren't you afraid that you are also his price?"

"He's a family member, a brother. I have to help him." James took the bottle and glanced at Todd, "You should know best."

Knowing that he was talking about his relationship with his sister, Todd grinned, "How much help? It doesn't matter if you die?"

"It's a miracle that we're still alive."

"Oh, that's right." Todd grabbed the bottle, drank a few sips, then suddenly leaned forward and kissed James' lips.

James froze for a moment, but didn't push away.

The choking wine was gurgled into the lips and teeth, and overflowed from the corners of the mouths of the two of them.After a long while, Todd stepped back slightly, red hair fell between his brows, he licked the corner of his mouth lightly, "Anyway, I don't know how long I will live, do you want to have some fun?"

James stared at those dark blue eyes, and the color in his own eyes became darker.He raised his fingers, tracing the black patterns under Todd's eyes, the Adam's apple slipped, and the throat seemed to be getting more and more dry.

After two near-death experiences in the realm of death, James found himself desperate to feel alive.He wanted to touch the body temperature of another person, to dispel the chilling feeling of death.

So he grabbed the red hair at the back of Todd's head, and kissed Todd's lips almost greedily again.Todd didn't show any weakness either, biting back like a gladiatorial fight.

When Diego passed by James' door, he was taken aback by the loud noise coming from the house, and thought it was James who was fighting with someone.Until a moment later I start hearing something else...

Diego rolled his eyes, cursed, and continued walking to his room.

The author has something to say: the deputy CP is attacking each other, because I feel that neither of these two is the master who has lived under others for a long time...
