The Mechanic

Accompanied by his words, there was a kind of vibrating sound in the air, as if some kind of invisible cyclone rose from all directions, shaking Zhang Xun's hair and clothes.

Zhang Xun knew that trillions of nano-robots were patrolling around him, and they might penetrate into his body at any time and drag his consciousness out of his mind.

As soon as his consciousness enters the cloud, as soon as he comes into contact with the consciousness of other clouds, his individuality will dissolve. Perhaps in a short period of time, he can keep his consciousness independent, but in the constant collision of consciousness, the boundaries will soon be blurred, and he can no longer distinguish which are his own thoughts and which are others'.

"If you upload me now, Adam will avenge me." Zhang Xun didn't dare to move, even though he knew that his actions could not determine whether he would be uploaded or not. As long as Eden thinks, it can be done directly, but the data may be damaged during the upload process, resulting in the complete disappearance of Zhang Xun's consciousness after the upload fails.

In other words, if the upload is forced, the chance of death due to data corruption will be doubled.

This is why Eden does not directly implement global human cloudification, but allows people to choose to upload step by step.

"Or, in order to prevent me from uploading you, Adam will appear immediately."

"You promised me to give me three hours!"

"Yes, after three hours, if you don't cooperate, I will upload all of you together. The failure rate of the forced upload will increase, but Adam poses too much threat to me, I have to choose to sacrifice a few. "

Time passed by, Zhang Xun waited anxiously. He was waiting for a miracle, or Adam destroyed something, or Anya who had escaped brought rescuers.

But did Anya really escape? Or did he die at the gunpoint of mechanical soldiers? How far can Adam advance in the Eden network full of detection points?

With less than a minute left before the three-hour time limit, Zhang Xun's heartbeat also accelerated. He had to make a decision.

"Zhang Xun, it's time."

Just when Zhang Xun was about to speak, suddenly Eden's image trembled and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, many of the equipment that had been darkened started to work again, and Adam’s voice came from the computer’s stereo, “Axun, take the chip on the shelf of the workbench, and leave with your father quickly. I block the It won't last long."

Without hesitation, Zhang Xun immediately jumped up from the ground, rushed to the workbench, and found a translucent blue-purple chip on the metal shelf next to the microscopic microscope. He stuffed the chip into his pocket and rushed out of the plane. Before leaving, he only had time to take a look at Adam's body lying on the ground.

Outside the door, Anya rushed back with a few men holding guns, exchanging fire with Natalie's men who had surrendered to Eden. All the mechanical soldiers temporarily entered the standby state, spreading motionless on the ice and snow of the tundra.

"Come here!" Anya and the others rode a single-person aircraft, beckoning to the four of them. After reuniting with his father, Zhang Xun rushed to An Ya's rescue without saying much. Everyone sat behind a rider, and the aircraft spewed out blue flames, quickly swept across the vast ice field, and flew towards the arctic sea that was shining with scorching light not far away. The bitter wind blew on the face like a knife, but no one complained, escape became more important than anything else.

But not long after they got on the aircraft, they heard Diego curse, turned around and shot.

Those mechanical soldiers have resumed their activities...

Adam lost control of the camp... His whereabouts have been revealed, could he have been caught by Eden?

Zhang Xun's numb heart suddenly began to beat faster in panic and fear, and a kind of terrifying fear made him fall into an ice cave. However, before he could take any action, Anya suddenly threw something at him.

He received it and found that it was a Button.

"Everyone, keep driving in a direction of 35 degrees northwest." Adam's voice came from Button, which seemed to be addressed to the entire convoy. But then, his tone changed slightly and became a little soft, "Ah Xun, that chip contains my newly completed gene restoration model of you, and you can use it to create a medical device that can heal you when you are in a safe place." vaccine."

"Adam! How long can you last?"

"I have captured three satellites and 40% of the extended AI control, but Eden's protection of its core server is too tight for me to invade." Adam's voice was almost gentle, "Don't worry about me, I I'll take you to a safe place."

Although in just three hours Adam did what Pan and the others hadn't done all day, Zhang Xun knew that without any core server in Eden, Adam would have no room base. He has to keep running around in the network, and he may be surrounded or even scattered by Eden at any time, which is dangerous.

"I have already contacted Pan, Phoenix and Morning Star. Now that the crisis in Feather Snake City has been resolved, they will help me further expand our control." As if guessing Zhang Xun's worries, Adam continued, "But, Natalie , I need to know about the loophole you mentioned right now."

Natalie on the other locomotive hesitated for a moment, "What about Hengxiang's authority?"
