The mechanic.

For two days in a row, Zhang Xun never left his and Pan's research and development hall.Undoing the influence of nanorobots on the human brain is much more difficult than Zhang Xun expected.Originally, Zhang Xun thought that the nanorobots would only stay in the human body to modify the brain structure after repairing the damaged cells, but after carefully examining the design framework of the nanorobots, he found that Adam's design was at the genetic level.

Since nanorobots need to identify which cells have been infected by the virus and which are original, the sample cells containing DNA information left by the patient before being infected (if the patient's can not be found, can be Using the DNA of the patient's parents) added to the solution of nanorobots for comparison and research, and then entering the human body, they can quickly lock those diseased cells and treat or kill them.Later, in order to repair the damage caused by killing cells, they will stimulate the secretion of HGH from the pituitary gland of the brain, so that DNA can be quickly transcribed to produce new proteins.

Obviously, Eden has already perfected the deciphering and decoding of human DNA, but it did not disclose all the knowledge to humans, but only selectively revealed some.Using this subtle knowledge gap, Adam locked down several target chromosomal base pairs, made subtle and precise modifications, resulting in controlled variations in those DNAs during transcription, and finally expressed as corpus callosum that is surgically indistinguishable The resulting functional "deformity".It is this functional deformity that makes human beings lose their instinct to preserve individuals.

The problem is that Pan can't determine which genes Adam has tampered with, because all his training data still comes from the human knowledge base.And Zhang Xun did not have enough knowledge to judge in this regard.If he wanted to correct these nanorobots from the root, he had to cooperate with the genetic engineers of Feathered Snake City.Even so, they may not be able to decipher Adam's design in a short time.

But time is running out.He must inject nanobots into the rebels the day after tomorrow to "return" them to normal.

So Zhang Xun faced a choice.He can create a batch of nano-robots according to Adam's design, 'cure' those rebels, and stay in Feather Serpent City to continue his plan.Or he can choose to take the dying James and Cindy, plus a Diego who was involved in all this for no reason, and embark on the escape journey again.It's just that this time they may not have the chance to come back.

He stared at the dense characters on the screen until his eyes hurt and his mind was buzzing.

He knows that after this decision, he can no longer turn back.Even Adam can use his lack of understanding of human nature as an excuse, but he has no excuses.

He is about to choose to do an evil thing, something he knows is wrong but chooses to do it anyway.

A day later, he brought 26 injections to the institute where the prisoners were held.The high priest and Tian Yu were already waiting for him, they were looking at him, staring at the box in his hand.

"I want to give them injections myself," Zhang Xun said.

The high priest nodded and signaled Paulino to escort the 26 prisoners into the observation room.All the prisoners were wearing some kind of metal ring on their foreheads, which seemed to control their movements, in case the modified individuals suddenly tried to resist.

Zhang Xun took the box into the observation room and looked at the 26 pairs of tired and chaotic eyes that were tortured by various mental diseases.

"I am going to inject you with nanobots. They will modify your brain structure so that you will not suffer any more. But...it will change your personality, modify your human nature. Gradually you may lose some Self-awareness, maybe forgetting that I'm human. I might be able to find a way to fix the side effects, but I might not. If any of you don't want to be injected, you can tell me now."

Tian Yu, who was outside the observation room, frowned and wanted to interfere, but was stopped by the high priest.

"Look at their reaction." The high priest said calmly.

One person asked, "After the injection, I won't hear those sounds anymore? Will I be able to sleep?"

Zhang Xun looked at him with calm and emotionless eyes, "To be honest, I'm not sure. Maybe you can still hear it, but those voices won't bother you anymore. I think you can sleep."

Another asked, "Is it true that all pain goes away?"

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, then nodded, "You will gain peace."

"What about after the injection? What are they going to do with us?"

"If you are really healed, the high priest agrees to release you. All the sins you have committed before can be forgiven."

"If they don't agree, are they going to continue to detain us?"

Zhang Xun nodded silently, put the box in his hand on the table, and opened it. The 26 injections exude a faint blue brilliance.

A prisoner who was tortured by auditory hallucinations and had not slept for more than a month was the first to walk out of the line, and said to Zhang Xun wearily and weakly, "As long as it can make me sleep, anything will do."

He stretched out his arms, with blue veins under his pale skin.Zhang Xun took a deep breath, picked up an injection, and pressed it on his arm.

Six tiny needles quickly pierce the skin and extend into the blood vessels.The bright blue liquid was quickly pushed down, and countless nano-robots were poured into the prisoner's body.

Zhang Xun suddenly felt a little nauseous, and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva to suppress the feeling.

These people have no choice, and the so-called "voluntary" is just another kind of compulsion.And he is an accomplice.From this moment on, he is in fact indistinguishable from Adam.

No, he was even more evil than Adam.Because Adam is at least for an initial goal that he cannot change.And he just wanted to save James, to get the power to fight against Eden, to use that power...to save his father.

Whatever is said to prevent the extinction of human beings is only for selfish reasons in the end.

In the end all 26 people agreed to the injection.Zhang Xun didn't show any mood swings throughout the whole process, he was so calm and cold, almost like a machine.But back in his lab, he rushed to the bathroom and threw up the entire contents of his stomach.

He leaned against the edge of the tub exhausted, suddenly unsure if it all made sense.Not sure if struggling makes sense.

But he doesn't have time to wallow in guilt and self-loathing.The thing has been done, he can only keep going, he has to go, there is no time to stop.He simply cleaned himself up, rinsed his mouth, and dragged his heavy body from not sleeping for more than 30 hours to the outside.

"Pan." Zhang Xun said in a hoarse voice after vomiting, "I want to see Enoch."

Pan immediately replied, "I have already asked Morning Star to notify him."

Zhang Xun nodded and said, "Do you still remember what I told you yesterday?"

Pan was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Xun nodded, as if convincing himself, "Sure."

After speaking, he collapsed on the sofa, wanting to fall asleep immediately like this.But no, he still had work to do.

After his conversation with Diego, he's been careful to stay sober these days in case anyone gets in here.And now that the injection had been handed over, he had to deal with something that had been delayed for too long.

Enuo appeared at the door within half an hour, seeing Zhang Xun's pale and gray face, a trace of panic flashed across the face of the robot.

He walked towards Zhang Xun, seeming to be faster than usual, "Zhang Xun, I received a message from Morning Star. Do you want to see me?"

Zhang Xun was still half lying on the sofa, nodded slightly, and beckoned to him.

Enoch got close to him and half knelt down.

Zhang Xun said, "I'm very tired."

"You are overtired and need to rest." Enoch whispered, his eyes quickly swept Zhang Xun's body, "Can I help you?"

"Just stay by my side like this." Zhang Xun looked at him quietly, a rare fragility appeared on the mechanic's face, like a crack on the calm mask.He raised his hand and gently touched the robot's cheek, "You are very similar to him."

"Like who? Adam?"

Zhang Xun nodded, and traced the corners of the robot's eyes with his fingers, "You have eyes of the same color."

At this moment, Zhang Xun's eyes seem to be different from those in the past, with many emotions hovering in them, unrepressed, flowing like a turbulent tide.Sadness condenses into dark frost, condensing in the depths of pupils.

Enuo was a little stunned, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to hold Zhang Xun's hand on his face.

"Do you miss him?" Enoch asked.

Zhang Xun nodded, and after a while, said, "Every day."

"...I believe he misses you too." Enoch whispered.

Zhang Xun smiled, helplessly and bitterly, "I hope so too."

Silence spread quietly, Zhang Xun pursed his dry lips and said, "Can you give me a hug?"

Enoch's eyes widened slightly, but soon, he stretched out his arms without hesitation, and embraced Zhang Xun's body with the most gentle force.

He was shocked to feel that the body in his arms had lost so much weight and felt empty.Zhang Xun also wrapped his arms around his back.

At this moment, Pan suddenly started, and the signal jammer hidden in the bathroom was immediately activated.At the same time, Zhang Xun's hand on Enoch's back suddenly pressed hard, embedded into the skin, opened the control panel on the back along a gap, and quickly pressed the power off button.

Enoch's body stopped immediately, his eyes froze, and all his voices stopped.

Zhang Xun tried his best to push away Enuo's suddenly heavy body, and watched the robot fall to the ground.He immediately squatted down, turned Enoch over, pressed a few keys on the control panel, brought up the keyboard operating system, and directly invaded Enoch's core program.He quickly adjusted several parameters, making the skin of Enoch's whole body transparent, revealing the complex devices and pipeline system in his body.

Zhang Xun carefully observed those chips, motherboards, coolants, and solar converters... Finally, his eyes locked on the core processor on the chest of the robot, a small black dot that kept repeating circular motions.

The hairs all over Zhang Xun's body stood on end.

He was a little too familiar with that little dot.

Those tiny insect robots he made in Paradise Lost...

He sat stiffly for a moment, then shivered suddenly, and immediately sat up straight, dismantling the robot piece by piece.In the end, he found a total of two "ants" on the robot's core and camera processor.They have been replacing the original transceivers to transmit and receive data, while controlling the robot's actions.

Everything makes sense.

No wonder Enoch suddenly became "strange" in the realm of death.Because in the high-radiation area, the signal was severely disturbed, and the person who originally manipulated the insects lost contact...

All along, the so-called Enoch who has been by his side is not the original service robot at all.Perhaps when I first met Enoch, I was not a simple service robot.Everything is arranged.

There was a violent storm in his head, but Zhang Xun just stared blankly at the tiny robot in his palm.

He thought he had escaped, but it turned out that he had never left.

No matter how hard he struggled, he was still spinning in place, like an ant who knew nothing.

After a while, Zhang Xun suddenly put the micro-robot back into the original unknown, and then put Enoch's surface panels back together piece by piece.He gritted his teeth, helped the heavy robot up, and then turned on the robot's run button.

"Pan, turn off the signal jammer."

"Yes."

In an instant, the brilliance of life returned to Enoch's eyes.With such different eyes, how could it take so long to start to doubt?

Maybe Zhang Xun has been lying to himself all along?

Enoch blinked his eyes, with a confused look on his face, "Did I just...have something malfunctioned?"

Zhang Xun looked at him expressionlessly, took a trembling breath, and said in a barely audible voice, "Is the game fun?"

Enoch frowned and tilted his head slightly, "Game?"

"I know it's you." Zhang Xun whispered two words in a hollow voice, "Adam."
