The mechanic.

The escape of Zhang Xun and others depends entirely on the game between Adam and Eden.Eden's robots block all the way out, but Adam can always temporarily lose control of several robots in key positions at the most appropriate time, allowing Anya and her men to use their weapons as cover to break out of the encirclement.

But at the same time Adam can't be online all the time.At this time, he is an extremely complicated and huge code group, and it is easy to be found when moving in Eden's network.He had to break himself apart from time to time and reassemble himself to escape Eden's siege.Fortunately, at this time, Pan, Fenghuang, and Chenxing on the other side of the world are also constantly grabbing new extension robots to disperse Eden's computing resources, which gives them breathing time.

What Natalie said lingered in Zhang Xun's mind.

A virus that can paralyze Eden...

It is almost impossible to get close to Eden's core server.Since the success of the séance project, Eden has completely revised the way he saves the core server.No one in the world knows where they are.Even the extended robots that maintain it are regularly formatted and replaced.

And Zhang Xun is very suspicious that Eden has quietly put himself into a carrier that is several times more advanced than the biological computer owned by Feather Snake City.It has such resources, and it has been slow to upgrade itself before, but it is only considering the public image.But since no one can see its core server anymore, there is no reason to continue to stay in those ancient boxes.

In this case, how can they get close to Eden's core server?It's almost impossible...

The bitter wind cut his cheeks, and he couldn't keep his eyes open.In a trance, lasers are flying around, drones are roaring overhead, and death rays are falling like a torrential rain.He could hear screams, and he wasn't sure who fell off the locomotive, or whose blood left long traces on the ground.

Even so, Eden's robots eventually surrounded them.Adam also didn't appear again for a long time. I don't know if he has been trapped somewhere in the network by Eden.

Huge robots gather these "ants" together like mountains, as if fire from the sky is about to fall at any time to burn them to ashes.

At this time, the driver of the locomotive Zhang Xun was riding on was hit on the head by a laser, and a neat gap was shot from his forehead to the back of his head.The driver's brains splashed on Zhang Xun's face, and the sticky and slippery touch made him unable to react to what it was. Immediately after the locomotive tilted, Zhang Xun's whole body seemed to lose weight and was thrown into the air .

Are you going to die?

The moment of landing became very long, and he could almost feel the death rays criss-crossing under him like a net.For a moment, his eyes could see that the blue sky was dipped in a soft pink by the sun that was gradually slanting to the west, just like the color that spread on Adam's cheeks when he laughed.

Yet he did not die.His body was caught by a powerful arm, and he was brought back to the co-pilot of another two-person aircraft.

When Zhang Xun turned his head, he saw Zhang Shuo lowered his body, his old but still strong and powerful body was lying on the driver's seat in a posture ready to go.Their aircraft was passing through the countless steel feet of a giant-like steel robot, and those heavy metal cylinders kept pressing down on them, smashing cracks that spread like spider webs on the frozen ground.

"Don't look up, don't open your eyes." Zhang Shuo's voice was exceptionally calm and steady, still full of unquestionable deterrence as before.

But Zhang Xun knew that their lives were at stake at this time, and if Zhang Shuo made a slight mistake in his judgment, they would turn into minced meat under the feet of the robot.He obeyed his father's command and closed his eyes and bowed his head, not to look at the chaotic dance of death around him that would scare even the bravest man out of his wits.

For the first time, he stayed beside his father on the battlefield.Although he is still useless, but inexplicably, his father's protection injected a hot spring into his dry heart, just like drinking a cup when his hands and feet are almost frozen in the cold winter. The warm feeling in the stomach when drinking milk.He seemed to suddenly have support, and suddenly he had the strength to persevere.

Although Zhang Shuo has already taken the position of commander, he has been trained to drive mechs before. As long as any machine or vehicle can be driven, he can easily grasp it.The two-person aircraft seemed to be integrated with him, turning into a flying bird with blue-purple flames, rushing through the intertwined flames and steel forest with incredible agility.

Under his leadership, the convoy is like a sea snake traveling through the raging sea, forcibly opening a way out in an impossible trap.Zhang Xun did not open his eyes as his father ordered, his hands were tightly grasping whatever he could.But he could hear the screams of people dying, smell blood and flesh burned by lasers.He knew they had suffered heavy casualties.

They have left the land and are rampaging across the ocean.Eden's robots seemed endless, no matter which direction they turned.No matter how good Zhang Shuo's driving skills were, it was impossible for him to deal with so many tireless fighting robots.

Suddenly, all the robots surrounding them started to fire at each other, the booming explosion almost tore Zhang Xun's eardrums, and the severe pain exploded in his head.He covered his ears with his hands, unaware that he was screaming in terror.

Then, everything suddenly became quieter.The sound of the explosion gradually became distant, leaving only the steady and continuous sound of the aircraft running around.Zhang Xun tried to open his eyes and took his hand off his ear, but found blood on his palm.Apparently the ear has been injured.But when he looked around, he realized that he was the luckiest of them all.

There are only four vehicles left in the convoy when they fled, and the rest are gone.Anya and Diego, who shared the same locomotive, were both hung with paint. Diego had a horrible blood hole on his shoulder, and blood was still gurgling out. He was spraying hemostatic agent on the wound.

And Natalie seemed to have been seriously injured and fell into a coma. If Anya's men hadn't grabbed her, she might have fallen down already.The townspeople of the other two Xijiao towns were also in a mess, looking like they had escaped from death.

Zhang Xun turned his head to look at Zhang Shuo, only to see that there was also blood on Zhang Shuo's face, but he didn't know if it was the blood of other people splashed on it.But his expression was calm, without any expression of pain, probably safe and sound.

Zhang Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his head, he found that there were still rising clouds of explosion smoke spreading on the sea in the distance, as if the sea was burning, which was terrifying and magnificent.

He understood that Adam used some means to suddenly control all the mechanical soldiers chasing them, causing them to destroy each other and creating opportunities for them to escape.

If Adam is one step later, I'm afraid they will be wiped out.Eden did it to death.

Presumably because Adam has shown up, they're all useless.

They fled to a frozen island in the Arctic Circle, where the world of ice and snow has never been touched by human beings, and the only animal they may see is the polar bear.The extremely cold weather was enough to see through their winter clothing, making everyone shiver.

They were forced to stop to treat the wounds on their bodies, and all of them were silent, struggling to get off the aircraft.Anya supported Diego and limped to a huge ice rock and sat down.She took out a black machine from her backpack that could automatically heat up as a temporary heat source, put it on the ground, and began to carefully examine Diego's wound.

On the other side, Natalie was also taken off the aircraft and placed near the heat source.

It was only when Zhang Xun's legs touched the ground that he realized that his legs were so soft.He supported the aircraft to stabilize his body, and put his hands in his pockets...

The heart suddenly fell into the ice cave.

The chip that held Adam's recovered DNA model was missing.

When did it drop?Most likely it was when the aircraft he was originally on was blown up and he flew out.

At that time, it was a miracle that other people didn't die, and there was no need to care about the chip.

Maybe Adam still has a backup, at least Adam must have remembered it... It doesn't matter, there is still hope...

Zhang Xun turned to look at his father, but saw that Zhang Shuo was still sitting in the driver's seat, not moving.

"dad?"

Unfamiliar words, as if it has not been called for a long time.

Zhang Shuo raised his head to look at him, his eyes filled with tiredness that he could no longer hide.In an instant, Zhang Xun realized how old his father was, and the wrinkles on his eyes and forehead were already so deep.

"Dad? Are you hurt?"

Zhang Shuo shook his head, the movement was so slight that it was almost invisible.

But Zhang Xun noticed Zhang Shuo's bleeding arm, obviously scratched by the laser.He took a few steps forward, "Your arm has to stop the bleeding..."

"Stay where you are and don't move."

Zhang Xun frowned, but stopped obediently.

Zhang Shuo's words were different from the past, there was not much order in the tone, but a little tired and pale.But Zhang Xun has long been used to obeying his father's orders, and he will always try his best to do whatever his father asks.

"Xun Xun, listen to what I say."

Xun Xun...

Zhang Shuo didn't call him this somewhat feminine nickname after he was six years old.So much so that when he heard it, his body trembled slightly.

"Since I was a child, I have been too strict with you. I know that you are very hardworking and smart, but it is not what I expected. It is not your fault." Zhang Shuo sighed and looked up.A strand of gray hair hung from his forehead and fell between his eyebrows, adding a bit of softness to his cold and hard lines.

Zhang Xun never expected to hear such words from Zhang Shuo.

It's not that he didn't look forward to it, but he didn't expect to hear it one day...

The question is, why now?Why did you suddenly tell him at this time?

An ominous premonition filled the low sky not far away like black clouds, rolling and roaring, approaching.

"You did a good job." Zhang Shuo said, twitching the corners of his mouth, as if trying to give Zhang Xun a smile.

"Dad... what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xun's wide-open eyes were filled with panic, and he knew something was wrong.

Zhang Shuo picked up the laser gun that he had carried with him for more than 30 years, and pointed it at...his own jaw.

"Dad!!! What are you doing!!!"

"Listen, during the last three hours when I was held hostage against you, Eden injected me with a new type of weaponized nanobot. It doesn't look like the one in your body. Same, sending messages to Eden in real time, so it knows where you are, so it knows where Adam will be. At the same time... the robots will control my thoughts and actions bit by bit, just like Natalie I don’t know how much time I have.” Zhang Shuo’s tone was so calm that he seemed to be talking about something completely irrelevant to him, full of mechanical reason, “They are transforming my brain. I can feel it."

"Dad, Adam can cure you! He will find the antidote!" Zhang Xun's voice was trembling, he took a step forward, and Zhang Shuo's finger on the trigger moved slightly.Zhang Xun's heart seemed to jump out of his throat, and he froze in place.

"There is no time. As long as I am with you, Eden will find you." Zhang Shuo said in an authoritative tone that is always unquestionable, "Besides, I don't want to become Eden's puppet. I have been cautious all my life, and Eden fought all his life, and finally wanted to die as a human being."

Die as a human, the last dignity of a soldier who lost Paradise.

Zhang Xun unconsciously burst into tears, and the tears were frozen on his cheeks by the cold air, "No... no! Give me some time! I will find a way!"

Anya and several others were also slowly approaching, she said carefully, "Commander Zhang, calm down, maybe..."

"I'm very calm. I've been thinking about it for nearly five hours, and this is the best and most effective solution." Zhang Shuo kept looking at Zhang Xun, solemnly passing the weight of his soul to his only descendant, "After I shoot, you don't care about my body, get out of here as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"Dad, don't..."

When the laser gun shoots, it doesn't make a loud noise like a physical gun.It is very quiet, you can only hear the barely audible subtle sound of flesh and bone being burned through, and see a beam of light ejected from the top of the skull.

Everything was very quiet, the only sound was the sound of Zhang Shuo's body lying on the steering wheel.
