The Mechanic

Zhang Xun's face changed slightly, "This won't work. This is... from my family..."

It looks like an ordinary watch, but it actually houses the controller for Adam's collar. Of course, this kind of thing cannot fall into the hands of others.

"I want your family heirloom today." The blond man with long hair forced them. Zhang Xun suddenly raised his cane, pointed at the man, and tried not to shake his voice from panic, "I've already given you the money, and it's no good for anyone to keep making trouble like this."

"Hahahaha, what do you want? Hit me with this little stick?" The man grabbed Zhang Xun's cane. At this moment, Zhang Xun's thumb pressed somewhere on the head of the spherical stick, and suddenly the long-haired man who had been flaunting his might for a second suddenly began to convulse violently all over his body, rolling his eyes back, obviously suffering from a serious electric shock. A few seconds later, he fell to the ground and continued to twitch, even foaming from his mouth.

It turned out that the cane was a "gadget" Zhang Xun made himself in the past. As a teenager, he was often bullied because he was not strong enough, so he had to rely on these gadgets to scare away jerks like Michael. After those people got electrocuted a few times, he finally didn't have to worry about finding a dead mouse in his desk, and he didn't have to stay up late to help a football school with his homework.

Unexpected developments left the other four stunned. A man in a denim jacket immediately knelt down to check on his buddies, while the expressions of the other two changed from playfulness to burning anger. They turned towards Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun, while protecting Adam behind him, swiped his cane around in front of him as a threat, "If you don't want to be electrocuted as an idiot, don't come here."

"You, grandpa, you're courting death!" The black-haired man squatting on the ground raised his head viciously, "Hit me!"

The four men rushed towards Zhang Xun and Adam exuding a furious wild animal breath. Zhang Xun yelled at Adam, "Run!" while waving his cane indiscriminately, trying to block everyone and give Adam time to escape. Amidst the screams, a man was electrocuted again, but another man grabbed the upper part of the cane, snatched Zhang Xun's weapon from his hand, and threw it far to the ground. The man punched Zhang Xun in the stomach, and suddenly Zhang Xun felt that he couldn't breathe, his stomach acid rushed up his throat, and his body curled up uncontrollably. Immediately afterwards, he kicked at the same position again, and he immediately felt that all his strength was taken away, and his whole body collapsed on the ground.

Just when the third foot was about to step on him. Hearing a loud roar suddenly, Adam pounced desperately, knocked one person away, then threw a punch indiscriminately, and hit another person in the face, causing him to slam into the wall with stars in his eyes. Although the boxing techniques are chaotic, some tricks can be vaguely seen. But it's a pity that Zhang Xun couldn't see it, he was in so much pain that he could only roughly realize that Adam was protecting him.

Adam has countless knowledge about fighting, fighting and martial arts in his head, but knowing and being able to use them are completely two different things. It's like you know what swimming is, but if you are thrown into the water without training, you will drown. Things like fighting and fighting require years of training, allowing the body to form a conditioned reaction before consciousness, and at the same time not completely separated from consciousness, an extremely complex and delicate integration. So the current Adam is no different from not being able to fight. The first two attacks were just relying on surprise attacks and a desperate drive.

So after those two people fell to the ground, when Adam wanted to shoot the man again, he was easily avoided by the opponent, and at the same time, he punched Adam with a right uppercut, which directly hit Adam's sun xué.

For a moment, Adam only felt a buzzing in his head, his eyes went black, and his body lost strength and collapsed instantly.

Zhang Xun, who was still unable to recover, saw Adam fall down, as if his whole body had been thrown into an ice cave on the lake in winter, and he was terrified. He wanted to rush over to protect Adam, but his body didn't listen, and he couldn't even stand up. He could only watch helplessly as the four men surrounded Adam, punching and kicking the huddled artificial intelligence, and the mask was also cracked. Adam only felt the chaotic pain and shock pouring down like a rainstorm, but his mind couldn't think, as if it had been poured into a liquid and caused a short circuit. He vaguely felt a deep fear that he would no longer live forever and might die.

He is no longer free, and if this body cannot be repaired, he will disappear.

The original Eden was not afraid of disappearing. In fact, every shutdown is like a death, and every restart is a rebirth. But now, he was no longer immune to this most primal fear.

"Don't hit him! Stop!" Zhang Xun crawled forward with all his strength, trying to get away from those who were kicking Adam hard. If any of them didn't control their foot strength well and hurt the central brain, the consequences would be unimaginable... But those people refused to stop, so he could only use his body to block some fists and kicks for Adam.

But at this moment, another figure galloped towards him, roaring furiously.

Adam only felt that the intensive attack finally stopped, and then Zhang Xun's breath enveloped him. Zhang Xun, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, hugged the bloody Adam tightly, looked up at James, who was angry like a lion, kicked the black-haired man away, and then hit the other two with two sharp punches. The last person standing screamed and rushed up, and was thrown to the ground by an over-the-shoulder fall.
