The mechanic.

The idea of ​​letting Adam leave with the hunting party and go beyond Paradise Lost sounds like it would be impossible for the command to pass.However, a day later, a miracle happened.

Zhang Xun looked at the search operation documents sent by the courier, but couldn't feel any relaxation.

This time, Adam's suggestion was even opposed by Zhang Xun.Although he knew that he had all-round control over Adam, it was impossible for Adam to escape or use some method to attract mechanical soldiers under the triple defense.But he also knew that Adam was not prepared for such an action.And Zhang Xun can't control the attitudes and methods other team members will adopt towards Adam.

It's too risky.Although Zhang Xun wanted to go out with the hunting group to find James, he didn't want Adam to take this risk, and he didn't want to put everyone in some unknown risks.

However, in order to pass the proposal, Adam voluntarily agreed to distribute the controller of the electric shock collar around his neck to every hunter and soldier accompanying them, which means that anyone traveling with him can use electric shock to temporarily incapacitate Adam.

Under such a premise, the headquarters was actually persuaded.

With the assistance of the Psychological Association, the command will carefully select hunters who are not overly hostile to artificial intelligence, but this kind of thing... who can guarantee?

Zhang Xun returned to his private research room, and when he entered the door, he was hit by a sharp and ear-piercing noise that nearly exploded his head.

Adam immediately turned off the noise attack device he was modifying, took off the anti-noise earmuffs, and smiled at Ethan as usual, "Sorry, Axun."

Zhang Xun looked stern, and threw the documents in his hand on the table, "Adam, I don't know what your purpose is. But you are asking for trouble."

Adam reached out to pick up the file, opened it for a glance, and then closed it with satisfaction, "If I accompany you, your chances of finding James will be greatly improved. Aren't you happy?"

"I want to find James, but I don't want to put everyone in danger."

"You still don't trust me, Axun. You are worried that I will take the opportunity of leaving Paradise Lost to try to communicate with Eden. But on the premise that everyone has the means to restrict my actions, as a person with The chances of my human body acting suspiciously close to zero."

Zhang Xun put his hands on the table and looked down at Adam sitting on the chair, "You haven't tried the feeling of being shocked, Adam. If you try, you will regret your cleverness this time."

"They are only allowed to activate the discharge function of the collar if there is a good reason. And all decisions will be re-checked after returning to the lost paradise. The soldiers who maliciously shocked me will be severely punished and even expelled from the hunting group."

"What's the standard for a good reason? Who will judge? You should know best how we humans play with vague definitions." Zhang Xun's eyes were filled with thick haze, "Besides, do you think you have already understood the human body? Adapted. But when faced with a stressful situation, none of us know how you will react. You should know better than me how dangerous this is."

Adam looked up at Zhang Xun, suddenly bent his eyes, stretched out his left hand to gently cover the back of Zhang Xun's hand on the table, and even rubbed it carefully, "I like the feeling of being worried by you. It means that I am in your hands It’s a high priority.”

Zhang Xun quickly withdrew his hand and stood up straight.But the skin touched by Adam still seemed to have a lingering tactile sensation.Zhang Xun frowned, staring at Adam helplessly, "Where did you learn these little tricks?"

"Recently, I'm re-analyzing some psychological research papers and more famous romantic movies, plus some daily alone time exercises. I hope these actions can improve the intimacy between us." Adam said, slowly stand up.In an instant, Zhang Xun gradually changed from looking down just now to looking up slightly.

I really should choose a man shorter than myself for Adam...

"Axun, a relationship of distrust will only reduce the efficiency of communication and cause a series of bad cycles. This is an unhealthy interpersonal relationship." Adam said in an earnest and seductive tone, his eyes filled with sincere and warm tenderness, "Have I ever betrayed you? If not, isn't your suspicion a prejudice without observation?"

"..." Zhang Xun realized that the topic had been diverted by Adam again.It seems that this phenomenon often occurs in their conversations recently...

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

All the mechanics of the Lab rushed to work overnight and produced [-] audio guns modified according to the principle of the second repellent system.In the early hours of the third day after the hunting group came back, Zhang Xun and Adam were wearing full-body invisible combat suits, anti-noise earmuffs on their ears, audio guns on their arms, and his computer and military supplies on their backs. Fifteen other members of the Fifth Hunt, plus a Jabari who strongly demanded to participate in the operation, stood in front of the gate of the first sector of Lost Paradise.

Zhang Xun felt his heart beating fast, but his hands and feet were cold.Anxiety was creeping through every pore, crawling under the skin, gnawing at his nerves.Zhang Xun has not left Paradise Lost for a long time.Although Paradise Lost is not absolutely safe, it is at least where he grew up.

But outside... it's all hostility and danger outside.Death's minions may hide behind every tree, and every human or machine you encounter may kill you.There are eyes and spider webs everywhere, and he is just a small ant.

But Zhang Xun still somewhat misses the time he secretly disguised himself as a woman a few years ago and mixed into the city under the arrangement of the round table.He told Adam that he was going to the city to collect recipes, but in fact his mission was much more than that.That time, he saw how many centuries there was a difference between the outside world and the life in Paradise Lost.

If one day they can be free...if one day they can also have those dreamlike technologies...

"Are you nervous?" Adam suddenly whispered in his ear.Zhang Xun was frightened out of his wild thoughts, and glanced at Adam with glowing eyes, "Are you excited?"

"Yes. This is the first time I have gone outside the Lost Paradise as a human being." Adam made no secret of his emotions.

Zhang Xun looked at him and sighed softly, "You may also die outside. It may be killed by your own mechanical soldiers, it may be killed by the people of Feather Snake City, or it may be killed by these people around you , or even me... to kill."

Adam is not equipped with any weapons.If they encountered mechanical soldiers, if Adam tried to escape or was captured, they would immediately terminate Adam.This is the command given above.Adam himself knew it all too well.

Even if Adam was captured, even if he left the range of the terminator, Zhang Xun knew that there was still the last terminator on him... that miniature bomb that even Adam didn't know about.No matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't let Adam fall into Eden's hands.This is what he has realized from the beginning.

"I still remember the air strike, you were so scared. Now you seem to be less afraid?" Zhang Xun looked at the ignorant artificial intelligence with complicated emotions, "Or is it just pretending to be scared before?"

"Ah Xun, there is no way to fake a physiological reaction." Adam shrugged his shoulders, his face purely innocent, "I'm not so scared now, maybe it's because I'm more used to the human body so I have confidence, or maybe it's because I haven't experienced it yet. There is no fear of fighting between humans."

"Everyone! Line up!" He Yuxin, the leader of the Fifth Hunting Regiment, shouted loudly.

All the hunters immediately lined up neatly, as if the originally disordered atoms were suddenly determined by some kind of force field.Zhang Xun hurriedly took Adam to line up behind Jabari at the end of the line.

He Yuxin is of Asian descent like Zhang Xun, but he seems to be of European descent.Paradise Lost has been baptized by the anonymous donation system of several generations of egg factories, and there are few pure Asian blood like Zhang Xun.He was tall and slender, although he was not very strong, he was lean and vigorous. His skin was darkened by the sun for a long time, but his facial features were very correct.He walked slowly in front of every soldier, his shrewd and sharp gaze swept over every hunter's face, "This time the task is to find the whereabouts of members of the unknown refugee country, try to avoid direct confrontation, and find out where they came from. The main purpose near the paradise. The secondary task is to search and rescue Captain James Kugel. Everyone is not allowed to use weapons without orders. They must wear stealth suits and helmets 24 hours a day, and spray their bodies every four hours. A pheromone spray. You can't act without my permission, and you have to report when you pee. When I order you to keep quiet, you better keep quiet, and you are not allowed to fart. Do you understand?!"

"Understood!" All the soldiers shouted in loud voices.

Amidst the rumble of huge gears, a gap was opened in the heavy giant door.A group of 18 people filed through the gap.

Lost Paradise was built on a relatively gentle valley sunken between two high mountains. A river meanders through it and continuously flows into the Lost Lake in the city.The original green carpet-like forest in the valley was destroyed by an air bomb a month ago.Occasionally, the gray remains of trees stood still, but most of them fell to the ground, making the road very difficult to walk.They stumbled and stepped over the roadblocks in disorder, and marched with difficulty towards the mountains and forests that had not been affected in the distance.

Occasionally, the remains of animals killed in the bombing were seen under the trees, covered with maggots and eaten away, and the smell of rotting flesh permeated the hot air, making the heat even more unbearable.Zhang Xun was already sweating profusely after walking less than five kilometers, and the sleeping bag and tent on his back became heavier and heavier.

After walking twenty kilometers, Zhang Xun only felt dizzy and his throat seemed to be on fire.Action has also become noticeably slower.However, none of the soldiers in front showed any signs of stopping to rest, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure.He didn't want to be what those soldiers said: the typical squeamish nerd.

At this time, the shoulder lightened, and before Zhang Xun had time to react, Adam tore off the backpack from his shoulder and straddled it on his shoulder.

Zhang Xun was taken aback, "What are you doing?"

"You seem to have mild symptoms of heat stroke." Adam, who was wearing a helmet and couldn't see his expression clearly, said with concern in his voice, "It's best to add some water. My physical fitness is better than yours, so I can help you for a while."

The other party's straightforward but sincere statement made Zhang Xun lose his temper at all.Originally, I wanted to argue a few words, but I felt that if I really fainted from the heat, it would cause trouble for everyone.So he quickly lifted the mask on the helmet, picked up the water bottle and poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth.

After walking another five kilometers, they began to enter the woodland.Huge cedar trees shaded the sky and blocked the too harsh sunlight, and the ground was covered with shrubs and ferns, and a thin trail made by hunters could be seen faintly.In a place where the trees were washed for a while, He Yuxin finally ordered to have a rest and have lunch.Zhang Xun collapsed under the tree all of a sudden, pulled off the visor of his helmet, and took a big breath of air, like a stranded fish, his face was covered with sweat, and he looked like he was about to suffocate.

"There is still a distance from the range where the mechanical soldiers come and go. You can take off your helmets." As soon as the group leader finished speaking, everyone cheered and immediately threw the helmets on the ground.Zhang Xun took off his gloves and wiped the sweat on his forehead, thinking that he would have to find a way to make this uniform lighter...

Adam's hair had also grown, sticking to his cheekbones, and his fair skin was flushed from the heat.Seeing his exhausted appearance, Zhang Xun felt guilty, and handed the water bottle to Adam, "Thank you for helping me..."

Adam smiled brightly, took his water bottle, rubbed his fingers on the back of his hand intentionally or unintentionally, but asked solemnly, "How do you feel? Do you have any symptoms of dizziness?"

"I'm fine." Zhang Xunzhang withdrew his hand as if he didn't notice, coughed lightly, took out the anti-heat medicine from the small bag on his waist and put it in his mouth, and then took out a few "metal balls".Holding those little things in his palm, he took out his tablet and entered a series of commands.Those little balls stretched out suddenly, turned into almost real flies and mosquitoes, flew up buzzing, and quickly disappeared among the trees.

"What's that?" A red-haired hunter sitting not far from him asked curiously.

Zhang Xun smiled at him, "Our eyes can help us locate mechanical soldiers two hundred yards away."

The young man's eyes were wide open, as if watching magic, "Is that a robot? Such a small robot?"

"What's that? Don't we have a robot that looks exactly like a human?" Another hunter, Gannon, who was a little older, said mockingly, staring at Adam with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Adam didn't avoid it, and looked at the man friendly, "I think, now I'm more inclined to humans."

"Human beings are born from a training cabin or a mother's womb, aren't you?" Ganon mocked idly, "It's just putting a computer into a human body. In the final analysis, it's still a computer."

"And it's a computer that can destroy the world." He Yuxin put a cigarette in his mouth while talking.

The other hunters also looked inquiringly, hesitantly, or pretending to be indifferent, and the atmosphere of the whole team was a little...stiff.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhang Xun stretched out his hand and squeezed Adam's arm, winked at him, and motioned him to stop talking.At this time, the more you try to persuade others, the easier it is to cause conflicts.It's better to keep silent.

He understood that he and Adam were now standing on a thin rope.If it is not handled well, it will aggravate these people's hostility towards Adam, which may lead to the abuse of electric shock devices.
