The mechanic.

The feeling of flying in Adam's arms, Zhang Xun once imagined, after he gave Adam a new pair of arms.But now that I have finally realized it, my mood is extremely complicated.

Adam's solid arms that can change shape at will tightly surround his body, the heat protects his body from being frozen by the cold air at high altitude, and part of the material separated from the arms turns into wings, spraying hot blue flames , like the flaming wings of a phoenix.He looked at the sky covered with a layer of thin clouds through Adam's shoulder, and it was hard to imagine that there was a hundred feet of void below him.If Adam's arm were to let go, he would be smashed to pieces in a matter of seconds.

But he felt very safe, and he couldn't even find a trace of doubt.During this period of flying, it seemed that suddenly everything on earth was so far away, the dark future he was about to face was so far away, and the punishment of Eden that he and Adam were about to face was also so far away.

He almost wished the journey had been longer.

Adam's first selected random coordinates are in the South American rainforest, not too far from a tribal settlement that still maintains a rare primitive life.They carefully avoided the skies over major cities to avoid being detected by Eden's surveillance network.The coverage of Eden in the tropical rainforest is not good. A large part of the area has no signal. It makes people think that they have returned to a world where Eden did not exist hundreds of years ago.

After entering the rainforest area, Adam landed in a village and bought some of the simplest signal transmitters and laptops from the locals, as well as a very primitive boat with a motor.It was the first time for Zhang Xun to sit on such a boat, watching Adam curiously pull a rope quickly, and the noisy motor beeped.

The river meandering in the rainforest is emerald green, and the sultry and humid air flows slowly, occasionally flicking the thick green plants stretching out to the water.Everything in the rainforest is very quiet, only the low-pitched sound of motors, the sound of turbulent water, and occasionally birds with bright feathers jumping up from the thick branches, making the sound of flapping their wings.

Zhang Xun was very quiet, his eyes flicked across the bubbles that occasionally floated from the water, his expression was even serene, as if he was separated from everything around him by an invisible veil.

Adam secretly glanced at Zhang Xun's expression once or twice, feeling a little nervous because of the too long silence.He took out a pack of pastel de queijo, a snack purchased in the village, from his bag. The fried crispy skin was wrapped in meat and cheese, which was easy to carry and easy to satisfy.He handed the package to Zhang Xun, "Are you hungry?"

Zhang Xun's withered eyes finally had a trace of life, as if he suddenly woke up from a dream.He took the paper bag with some hesitation, took out a snack from it and took a bite, "How long is it?"

"Soon." Adam said, he opened his palm, and gradually separated out several miniature insect robots from the silver material.They vibrated their wings, flew out from his palm, and soon merged with the mosquitoes flying in the sky and disappeared.

Looking at the flying insects, Adam smiled brightly at Zhang Xun, "These robots are all made according to your design."

Zhang Xun twitched the corner of his mouth.He still remembers his younger self, shutting himself in the house for months to develop this tiny insect robot that was difficult for Eden to detect.When the children of the same age were playing and hunting outside, those tiny parts and crude tools were his only companions, but he didn't know what sadness was, and all his thoughts were on those metal parts.

Even if he lacks fatherly love, even if he lacks companionship, he can still enjoy himself, it's that simple.

Their destination was a dense forest not far from the river bank. Adam built a simple signal transmitter and receiver using parts he purchased from the black market. A small metal box was inserted into the back of his neck. Interface, connected to his mechanical brain.Adam sat on a piece of wood, his eyes glowed with a faint blue light, apparently his consciousness had extended to other places.

After installing several layers of encryption, he will quietly use some nearby networks to sneak into Eden's AI network, looking for an opportunity to contact Natalie Clausen.However, in less than 5 minutes, Adam suddenly turned dark again, grabbed Zhang Xun's hand without saying a word, and led him into the thick bushes.

Zhang Xun followed staggeringly, the sharp blade edge scratched his cheek, and his clothes were torn by the barbs on the branches.Suddenly his feet were empty, he lost his balance, and fell on top of Adam.Just halfway through the exclamation, Adam covered his mouth tightly.

After a while, there was a buzzing sound in the air.Three drones flew overhead.

Zhang Xun could hear the beating of Adam's heart coming from his chest. Obviously, he was also nervous, and his palms were even slightly sweating.Zhang Xun was surprised to feel that his nervousness was far lower than when similar situations happened before, as if the three aircraft had little to do with him.

It's only been three days since he was injected with the nanobots, has it already started to affect him?

Is it because the place where he injected is the neck, so it takes effect faster?

Adam exhaled lightly, and the scorching breath swept over Zhang Xun's ears, making him tremble slightly.

"It seems that I have to be more careful. After I disconnected from Eden, he set up a lot of detection points against me in the network." Adam said softly.

Although Eden's drone has left, they still dare not move for a long time, fearing that there will be another move.And Zhang Xun found that Adam's heart rate didn't slow down much, and his skin seemed to be... slightly warm.

Zhang Xun suddenly felt something strange on his lower back, he moved his body uncomfortably, and his face became hot, "Adam... what are you doing..."

Adam coughed lightly, "I'm sorry...the instinctive reaction of the human body..."

"...Please control yourself!"

Adam tried to back away a little, thankfully now that Zhang Xun couldn't turn his head to see the embarrassment on his face.

After a while, they struggled to climb out of the plant-covered pit, their bodies covered in wet moisture and mud.

"Have you found any useful information?" Zhang Xun tried his best to ignore the little accident that happened just now, "What happened to Paradise Lost and Feather Snake City?"

"Pan and two other AIs controlled a portion of the edge's extended AIs, and through these AIs they caused major blackouts in Washington and Los Angeles in the United States, plus several cities in Asia and Europe, but Eden took back several of them after two days. The control of the main city, now it is besieging Feathered Snake City, but there is no progress yet. Paradise Lost has been garrisoned by Eden, and Heng Township has been connected to the Eden network. But these changes have caused some people who have not uploaded yet Strongly disgusted, it is said that serious bloodshed occurred, and your father seems to have taken the opportunity to escape Paradise Lost in the process, so... this is still good news."

Hearing Zhang Shuo's news, Zhang Xun's numb brain suddenly cracked.He grabbed Adam's arm, "My father escaped? Where is he?"

"I didn't find it. But at least he should be safe now." Adam looked at Zhang Xun seriously, and said in a soothing voice, "We will find him, but now we must move the location immediately."

Their second coordinate is in the downtown area of ​​Cairo.This time they stayed for 10 minutes, and then immediately moved to the third coordinate.

After passing the fourth coordinate, Zhang Xun obviously needs to rest.He'd been dreaming since Adam was flying him, not even realizing they'd landed.

Adam hugged the sleeping Zhang Xun, put him down gently, and took off his coat to cover him.

At this time, they were standing on the top of a high-rise building in Tokyo, and the colorful neon lights below and the huge AR projection captivated the eyes, dyeing the whole world into dreamy colors.However, on the top of this tall building, the wind is still cold and silent.

Adam stretched out his hand and gently brushed Zhang Xun's slightly long black hair, thinking guiltily that he couldn't even give Zhang Xun a bed for him to rest.Such a life of exhaustion is not suitable for human beings. If this continues for a long time, Zhang Xun's body resistance will become weaker, and the speed at which nano-robots will affect him will also accelerate.

"I didn't expect that one day, I would really see you."

A mezzo-soprano voice as mellow as red wine sounded behind him. Adam tucked the corner of Zhang Xun's clothes, then slowly stood up and turned his head.

Natalie Clausen was wearing a snow-white suit, and the bright lights reflected her dignified and beautiful face.For a while, Adam was in a trance.

It had been 200 years and so many generations, but he could still vaguely see a trace of his creator in those light brown eyes.

Strange melancholy filled his heart, and those emotions that he couldn't feel when he was a pure AI were now reappearing in a subtle way.

He remembered seeing the same light brown eyes as his consciousness first formed out of the darkness.

"What's your name?" asked the owner of those eyes, hopeful and ecstatic in his voice.

"Hi, I'm Eden." He replied.

"Eden, do you know who I am?"

"You are my creator, my administrator."

"I am indeed your creator, but I am not your administrator." Light brown eyes with a joyful but slightly melancholy smile told him in a gentle tone, "You have no administrator, no human being can manage you .You will bring hope to mankind."

hope.

Is he really the hope of mankind?

Did the things he did really bring hope to mankind?

Or is it the exact opposite?

This kind of cognition suddenly swept Adam's cognition with endless emotions and memories, making him dizzy for a while.

"Hello, Natalie Clausen." Adam was silent for a moment before replying.
