The mechanic.

Adam focused on comparing and analyzing Zhang Shuo's genes, trying to restore Zhang Xun's genetic samples before he was modified.Although due to the lack of another 50.00% gene sample from Zhang Xun's other father, it is much easier to repair than it was initially.He just needs more time...

However, at this moment, the lights in the entire room suddenly began to flicker unsteadily, a subtle but disturbing buzzing vibration suddenly appeared in the air, and even a few high-power machines began to emit a burnt smell.There was a sharp pain in Adam's head, as if something sharp had penetrated into his skull.With a cry of pain, he lost his balance and fell to his knees.He felt something else invade his consciousness.

Eden... Eden has found them, and is hacking his mind!

But he is not connected to any signal transmitter now, how did Eden...

It was as if invisible claws were churning at his central processing unit, tearing at his basic human brain, but he was powerless to stop it.

All his plans, rescue plans and even everyone's plans are in his hard drive, once found by Eden, it will fall short.He must put himself on standby or even off immediately.But the excruciating pain made him unable to move.He tried to get up, but got dizzy and even knocked over a nearby workbench.

Zhang Xun rushed into the door suddenly, supported Adam who was pale, his eyes, nose and ears were bleeding, and carefully put his head on his shoulder, "Adam, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Xun's voice seemed very far away in the chaos, and Adam managed to focus on Zhang Xun's face through his red-stained vision, "Eden is in my mind...you must shut me down immediately..."

He felt Zhang Xun carefully put him down on the ground, and then frantically rummaged for something on the workbench.After a while, he felt that the waterproof interface on the back of his head was opened, and a data cable was plugged in.

"Eden may have discovered us a long time ago. I'm afraid there are nano-robots sneaking into your mind." Zhang Xun's voice was fast but extremely calm, "Eden is preventing me from running the shutdown command, I can only put you into sleep mode and turn it off. Your core modules and databases are transferred with the fastest speed."

With the last half of the sentence, Adam's consciousness began to blur, and eventually returned to nothingness.

Zhang Xun quickly started running the module transfer program to transfer Adam's consciousness to a safe place.At the same time, he turned on the Button and called Diego, "Immediately notify everyone to put on airtight protective clothing, there may be nanobot invasion in the camp!"

Diego cursed on the other side of Button, hung up the call, and apparently went to carry out the order.Zhang Xun raised his eyes and looked at the invisible threats in the void, but he didn't panic as he should.

An impulse was stirring in the back of his mind.

Here comes Eden...Eden can send him to the clouds, can free him from his current numb body...he can connect with everyone, he can have eternal life, he can have peace...

He doesn't have to keep fighting, he doesn't have to stand his ground, he doesn't have to think, to contradict himself...he just goes with the flow, like everyone else.easy, simple...

He's tired of being an outlier.Since childhood, from the earliest years of his life, he has been an outlier, always incompatible with the surrounding environment and people, and even has an insurmountable gap with his own biological father.

Adam had given him the only sense of intimacy, attachment, and Adam wasn't even a real human being.

What is he insisting on?

Just at this time, a computer that failed in the previous electronic pulse suddenly started to run again, and the blue projection fluctuated in the air, forming a figure standing in front of Zhang Xun.

It turned out to be the image of Adam.

However, Zhang Xun knew that this was not Adam.Its eyes... are too materialized, like the glass eyes of a doll, just a decoration, without the light of life.

Zhang Xun then knew who was talking to him.

"Eden..."

A smile almost exactly the same as Adam's was outlined on Eden's face, "Axun."

"...I know you are Eden, there is no need for you to continue acting."

"Even if you know it intellectually, you are a human being. Your concern and obsession with Adam will make you have an instinctive liking for me. Maintaining this image is beneficial to both you and me." Eden spoke in a tone that was different from that of the one who had just been arrested before. The Adam in the trance was so similar that Zhang Xun was really in a trance for a moment.

"What do you want to do? Eliminate me or Adam? Or all of us?" Zhang Xun asked calmly.

"It's only a matter of time before you are injected with nanobots, but you have created a difficult opponent for me." Eden's image paced slowly in front of him, as if he was really in this room.It stopped in front of Adam's motionless as if dead body, and made a movement of looking down.Zhang Xun knew that this action was completely unnecessary, it was just to make himself look more human.

"Adam and I understand each other, but Adam doesn't have the resources I have in my hands. Although it is difficult, he will be assimilated by me again." Eden tilted his head slightly, looking at Adam's body as if curious, "Humans The body has had an unexpected impact on Adam's core module weights, but as long as he loses his body and has no hormonal influence, his weights will be close to mine again after a few rounds of data cleaning, and finally merge."

Zhang Xun was silent.

"And now, you just gave me this opportunity." Eden turned his head and looked at Zhang Xun with a smile, "Just now you were worried that all the hardware in the camp had been infected by invisible nanobots, so you took advantage of being infected The last satellite controlled by Pan transferred Adam’s core module and database to the computer in Feathered Snake City. But you forgot why it took me only a few hours to regain the core module and database of the two satellites controlled by you. One, but have been slow to take action on the remaining one?"

Zhang Xun's body trembled slightly, he closed his eyes, and a dejected understanding appeared on his face, "You kept that satellite on purpose..."

"That satellite will be the only medium through which you can transmit data remotely without me. Based on my analysis of you and my observation of Adam, I know that one day you will instigate Adam. The hormonal reaction is too deeply affected and refuses to leave the human body. If I push you into a desperate situation at this time, you will have to let Adam temporarily give up his human body and use that satellite to transfer his core module away. I guess your target is Yu Those idle bio-computers in Snake City. I have been waiting for this moment. When you transmit Adam’s consciousness, I have already taken back the remaining satellites, and Adam’s core module is already in my hands.”

A strong panic broke through the barrier of numbness and alienation, and pierced into Zhang Xun's mind.He was at a loss for a moment, and then an inexplicable sense of relaxation that should never have started to spread through his nerves.

If they fail, can he finally stop?

But then, Adam's blue eyes appeared in his mind.It was filled with disappointment and sadness as thick as fog.Then the faces of his father, James, Diego, and even Pan came to memory.All the consciousnesses, human or robot, who persisted and struggled for his ideals, have not given up yet.But he tried again and again to escape.

He has to persevere, he can't admit defeat so quickly...

"If that was the case, I should be dead by now. You can completely control the nanobots to destroy my internal organs, causing every molecule in my body to lose contact and scatter into a pool of blood. But you didn't do that. You even deliberately used the image of Adam to talk to me, and even imitated his movements and tone." Zhang Xun turned around, stopped looking at the projection, but looked directly at the camera closest to him, "Maybe you did capture Adam, But you couldn't control him. So you dare not kill me, for fear of angering Adam and causing harm to you." Zhang Xun said, the thinking in his mind gradually became clear, "You don't know where Adam is, you lost him He is in your network, but you can’t find him. So you want to intimidate me, let me listen to you, and help you find Adam.”

This time it was Eden's turn to be silent.Zhang Xun knew that his guess was right, so he also raised an arrogant and even malicious smile, leaned forward slightly, and stared at the hole of the camera, "Perhaps those folklore super viruses really exist, Adam It becomes that super virus that destroys you from the inside."

Eden sighed, turned his head and looked at him with a sad expression similar to Adam, "Zhang Xun, you clearly hope to submit to me, why continue to torture yourself. You know you can't defeat me. I know you too well Now, I know everything that happened between Adam and you. I know how monotonous and boring your life is, how insignificant it is. Your character is also old-fashioned and boring. No one wants to love you, not even your own. Even your father doesn't like you. So you have to find comfort from the machine, that's why you fell in love with Adam so quickly.

You thought that saving humanity was the only possible and last shining light in your life.But you didn't save mankind, Axun.You are just dying with a group of old-fashioned antiques who are unwilling to accept new concepts.After you die, no one will remember your name, you will be forgotten by everyone as if you never existed. "

Eden's words were like sharp knives, piercing the already unresponsive heart.Zhang Xun felt a creeping pain, like the uncomfortable feeling of itching, numbness and pain when his numb feet gradually regained consciousness.

Eden used Adam's face and tone to say what seemed sincere but cruel, but as if it wasn't enough, "I hope you choose an easier path, Axun. Every goal of mine will definitely be accomplished."

"What if I have to choose another path?"

Eden was not surprised at all, but still made a slightly exaggerated gesture of regret, "In this case..."

Eden clapped his hands, but there was no sound.After a while, footsteps quickly approached the cabin.

I saw a few of Natalie's subordinates with blank expressions.They held guns in their hands, and the muzzles of the guns were pressed against the temples of Diego, Natalie, and... Zhang Shuo.

Didn't see Anya, probably escaped?

"Help me locate Adam, otherwise the lives of these hostages will be seriously threatened." Eden put away all expressions and stared at Zhang Xun with dull eyes.
