The mechanic.

AI's cognition of time is different from that of humans, but Adam, who has a human body, although his thinking speed is still at the AI ​​level, his body is limited to the human time range.

So the moment Zhang Xun pressed the button of the nanorobot syringe, in Adam's consciousness, it was quite a long period of time.In an instant, countless thoughts emerged from Adam's mind, and countless ways to stop Zhang Xun.

But his body was too late to move.

He seemed to be rigidly confined in an ever-extending time unit, watching nano-robots pour into Zhang Xun's veins.

When he finally snatched the mini syringe from Zhang Xun's hand, he found that the blue liquid inside had been emptied.Adam's eyes widened, and all the thoughts in his head were stuck together for a moment, and the huge sense of panic made him feel chills.

Tears welled up from his eyes, and he stared at Zhang Xun as if some terrible mutation would happen to Zhang Xun in the next second.

But no, the transformation of the brain by nanorobots is gradual, and there will not even be any obvious changes in the first few days to ten days.

Adam stared blankly at Zhang Xun, suddenly dropped the syringe in his hand, and hugged Zhang Xun in his arms.He could feel that Zhang Xun was trembling slightly, obviously he was also afraid, afraid of what would happen to him.

"I'll fix everything..." Adam murmured in a low-pitched, almost neurotic way, not knowing whether he was comforting Zhang Xun or himself.His hug was so tight that Zhang Xun could barely breathe.

But Zhang Xun still let him hold him, because he didn't want to let go.Adam was the only one who could save him, his only redemption and comfort.

What's next?Would he hear something that wasn't there?What will you feel?

Still... can't feel anything, he will lose his personality little by little.

He grabbed Adam's clothes, unspeakable.

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

Adam knew that from now on they would have to be very careful every step of the way.

Eden knew him as he knew Eden.According to the current situation, Paradise Lost may have given up on him and defected to Eden. In that case, Heng Township would also fall under Eden's control.But when creating Hengxiang, Adam thought for some reason and left a back door for himself.

And Eden probably predicted that he left a back door, so that back door is likely to have been discovered and repaired by now.

However, Adam also predicted the possibility that Eden predicted and patched the loophole he left behind, so when that loophole was patched, another dormant loophole would be activated...

The game between Adam and Eden thus rapidly becomes complicated, layer upon layer, and ring within ring, almost incomprehensible to the human mind.After descending more than a dozen layers of game analysis, Adam decided to give up the current thinking mode.Because there is no end to this mindset.

He's going to make a completely random decision.Only random decisions are unpredictable for Eden.

After Zhang Xun fell asleep, he walked to a huge reef by the beach, sat up straight, closed his eyes, and shut down all possible influences of perception on his thinking.This is very difficult for human beings to achieve. The ability that only some practitioners who have practiced meditation for many years is not so difficult for him to achieve, but it cannot be maintained for a long time.

Listening to the white noise made by the waves, he gradually began to block all the tactile sensations on the body surface and all the signals received by the five sense organs from the mechanical brain.

A series of random land coordinates were generated in his mind.

According to his prediction, Eden will crack the loop he created in the satellite monitoring system around midnight, and he and Zhang Xun must leave the island before then.

He got up and walked to the house deep in the island that was abandoned by the islanders 75 years ago.A two-story wooden house that was mostly engulfed in vines and plants, most of the furniture inside was decayed, and it smelled of damp sea salt.Zhang Xun curled up on the blackened rattan sofa, his eyes were closed, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was not at ease in his sleep.

Adam didn't wake him up immediately, but squatted down next to the sofa, carefully studying every detail of Zhang Xun's face.He knew that nanorobots were quietly sneaking into every cell in Zhang Xun's body at this time, modifying the base pairs on several specific chromosomes.After rounds of cell metabolism, Zhang Xun will become more and more collective consciousness, and individual consciousness will become weaker and weaker.

The whole process will last from [-] days to three months depending on the individual's physique.

However, reversing the effects of the nanobots has been... next to impossible.The modified cells have a lower mutation rate and are stronger than ordinary cells. Even if all nano-robots are forcibly excluded from the body, those modified cells will still metabolize more slowly than the original cells, and will eventually become the dominant cells. , Gradually occupy the entire body and affect the corpus callosum of the brain.

After all, people are not machines, nor are they programs that are deliberately revoked and updated. Once the DNA has been modified, it is almost impossible to change it back perfectly.

But he will not give up Zhang Xun, he must find a way to minimize that influence.

Zhang Xun asked him, "If other people can be transformed, why can't I?" He couldn't answer.He just knew that he couldn't accept it...he couldn't accept it no matter what...

Can't accept Zhang Xun becoming...they...

At this time, Zhang Xun's eyes suddenly opened, and he took a deep breath, as if he saw something extremely terrifying.He opened his mouth wide, as if he couldn't breathe, his hands were scratching in the air, but the scream was stuck in his throat.Adam immediately held Zhang Xun's hand, pulled him into his arms, and wrapped Zhang Xun's twitching and struggling body with his own strength.

"Hush...shh...you were dreaming just now..." Adam said softly in Zhang Xun's ear, repeating it over and over again.

Zhang Xun's body, which was so tense as if it was about to break, finally relaxed a little bit, no longer struggling.He gasped for breath, like a man who is suffocating in the water and finally grabs a piece of driftwood.

"I saw it..." Zhang Xun whispered, with a trembling ending in the words.

Adam rubbed Zhang Xun's back with his hands, "What did you see?"

"Collective consciousness..." Zhang Xun opened the distance between the two of them a little bit, his face covered with cold sweat was like seeing a ghost, "They can feel me...they...want to eat me..."

Adam knew that Zhang Xun probably had this dream because he was too afraid of the changes that would happen to him. After all, the injection time was so short that the brain should not have been affected.

But Zhang Xun's fear was real.Adam then asked in a low voice, "Do they...refer to Hengxiang?"

"You can't control them... You thought it would be more rational for human beings to fuse together, but you're wrong..." Zhang Xun murmured with empty eyes, "It will swallow everything...including you...including Eden ..."

"Hush...it's just a nightmare...Heng Township is not finished yet, and most people haven't uploaded it yet."

"Button..." Zhang Xun gently pushed Adam away, his face still pale, "Eden can connect everyone to the network through Button, as long as the brain is modified, these people will be sucked into Hengxiang. So many complicated human consciousness, Without the restrictions of the individual and the individual, all the suppressed subconsciousness will burst out...you will soon lose control of Hengxiang."

Adam frowned, Zhang Xun seemed to believe that what he saw was not just a dream, but something that really existed.

But it's impossible, he has already determined that any form of signal is blocked here, how can Zhang Xun, a human being, be connected to Hengxiang, which is far away in Paradise Lost?

He knew that human beings have some philosophies and psychological theories that believe that there is an invisible and intangible common consciousness among all human beings, and that everyone has a part connected to it, which subtly affects all people's behaviors.But these theories are extremely old and lack the support of research evidence, so they have long been abandoned.

"You don't believe me." Zhang Xun looked at Adam's expression and came to a conclusion.But he didn't show any anxiety or anger, and there was only empty blankness in his eyes, "You think I'm crazy."

"Ah Xun, you just had a nightmare. The amount of nanorobots you injected is much smaller than the normal dose, and it is impossible to affect your brain yet." Adam carefully comforted Zhang Xun, as if he was a drug.

Zhang Xun gradually calmed down a bit, and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hands.He took a deep breath, as if trying to convince himself.

It's probably just a dream.

But why did it feel so real, why was he as tired as if he hadn't slept?

Seeing that Zhang Xun seemed to have calmed down a bit, Adam took a step forward and looked down at the mechanic slightly, "We have to get out of here, Axun."

"...Where are you going?"

"Go to a random coordinate point. After we collect resources there, we will immediately go to the next random location before Eden finds us. This is the safest and surest way."

"Eden will use the entire Feathered Serpent City and Paradise Lost as hostages to force us to stop."

"We can't stop. Once we stop, we will be neutralized immediately. We need to find a way to contact several key humans while we are constantly moving. They will help us attract Eden's attention, consume its resources, and give me An opportunity to regain control of Lost Paradise and obtain necessary supplies."

"Key humans?"

"Eden has enemies, and has always had them. Eden is like a ubiquitous net, taking away a lot of absolute power that should have been possessed by a small number of humans. These powers have always existed, but because Eden is too Strong, they have no chance to act at all, and Eden will destroy all plans. But now, you have created a three-AI network that is enough to hold Pan, plus me, enough to consume a considerable part of Eden's attention. This is for those human beings It’s a great opportunity, and they won’t let it go.”

Zhang Xun didn't make a sound.

Adam suddenly reached out and touched Zhang Xun's cheek lightly.Zhang Xun's body trembled slightly, but he didn't escape.

"I know you have already contacted a very important person...the offspring of my creator, Natalie Clausen." Adam said softly, "Maybe she has some...unexpected things in her hand, you can Help us further weaken Eden."

Zhang Xun was not surprised at all, "You know?"

"Anything about you, I will do my best to find out. I have arranged several informants around Feather Serpent City, and I know that some mobs are investigating the Eden Church, but I have not shared this part of the content with Eden." Adam said, grinning, as if there would be a faint light in the darkness.

Looking at that smile, Zhang Xun felt a little sadness in his heart.

Adam, did you finally choose him?

After he destroyed himself...
