The mechanic.

The other team members seemed to have done the same thing as Adam Zhangxun. They dodged into several other mine tunnels, turned off the flashlight, and waited in fear for the flailing mechanical monster to patrol past.The monster probably sensed the sound before, but failed to find the source of the sound. It walked back and forth in the mine, and a row of millipede-like mechanical legs that danced continuously fell on the ground and made a scalp-numbing sound.

The strange and evil shape of the mechanical monster, the diffuse and disgusting red light, the strange sound of electric current and footsteps with psychological implications, all together are enough to stimulate the primitive human fear instinct of danger.Some older hunters were able to suppress the fear, but the young red-haired hunter apparently began to panic.When the mechanical monster turned a corner and entered the side road where he was hiding, he messed up his stitches and began to flee desperately.

The sound of footsteps was immediately caught by Eden's "mechanical dog", and its tentacles that stretched and swayed suddenly rushed in the same direction, and the uncomfortable red light began to flash rhythmically. A piercing siren sounded.It started to gallop, its countless legs seemed to be floating across the ground, the speed was frighteningly fast.It only took a moment for Zhang Xun and Adam to hear the young man's terrified screams.

In the darkness, the two of them didn't need to speak, and rushed to the mine tunnel where the screams came from at the same time.Adam turned on the light, and the beam tore through the darkness, shining on the evil metal not far away.

At first glance, the young man seemed to be suspended in the air.But when he looked carefully, he discovered that his shoulders, waist, and thighs had all been pierced by the tentacles of that mechanical monster.The blood damaged the battle suit on his body, and the invisibility effect disappeared, revealing the blood-stained cloth more deeply.

"Let him go!" Another hunter roared, raising his gun and shooting at the mechanical monster.However, the bullets fell on the mechanical dog's body and sparks bounced off one after another, flying around as if out of control, and accidentally injured another team member's arm.

The other tentacles of the mechanical monster turned towards the others, and the red light at the top of the tentacles became more and more hot.Adam immediately yelled, "Get down!"

As soon as the words fell, the red light exploded and rushed towards all of them.

Under Adam's warning, everyone fell down one after another.The red light hit the rock wall without making any sound.However, when the momentary light dissipated, an extremely smooth and round hollow several meters deep appeared on the rock wall.It was as if a whole piece of land was vaporized silently, and scattered into countless scattered smoke and dust.

If this kind of thing hits a person's body, I'm afraid there will be no bones left before they can even feel the pain.

Zhang Xun broke out in a cold sweat, no matter how many times he repeated the experience of brushing shoulders with death, he couldn't get used to it.Especially with such efficient and ruthless killing.

The mechanical dog aimed at them again with those tentacles.Apparently it only intended to take one alive, and the rest were to be killed immediately.

At this time, Adam suddenly opened his mouth and shouted a long string of weird and obscure gibberish language.He spoke so fast that he didn't even break a sentence or have a chance to catch his breath, but his articulation was exceptionally clear, and every tricky syllable could be accurately expressed through the coordination of his tongue, teeth and vocal cords, almost like he was chanting a spell.

Zhang Xun immediately recognized that this was the language of AI.

Something strange happened.The red light at the top of the mechanical dog's tentacles, which was about to launch a second wave of attacks, suddenly dimmed a bit.All waving of the tentacles ceased, and it stood motionless, seemingly confused.

Adam continued to speak words that can only be understood by love, and his blue eyes seemed to transmit complex thoughts that humans cannot read, showing a kind of alienation and remoteness beyond the world.The body of the mechanical dog began to tremble, and the sound of electric current and metal friction from the body became louder and louder, somewhat like the noise produced when the CPU overheats.It trembled more and more violently, and then suddenly everything was quiet.

The mechanical dog froze in place.

"Quick! Save people!" Adam shouted to Ganon and the others, "I used the program loopholes of this mechanical dog to disrupt its operating framework and created an infinite loop that temporarily overloaded and froze it, but there may only be 1 In a matter of minutes it restarts on its own."

Everyone was dumbfounded, no one would have imagined that it would be possible to modify the code of a killing machine by speaking? !

But there was no time for hesitation, and the few people who were not injured rushed over to rescue the seriously injured young man who was on the verge of coma.But at this time, Zhang Xun heard the familiar rattling and metal rubbing sounds again.

"There are more coming! We have to retreat!" Zhang Xun said to Ganon in panic.

But Canon looked out of the tunnel and whispered, "It's too late."

Where they came from, a red light and shadow had already appeared.They are blocked.

Maybe this is indeed a trap...

Looking at the two slightly injured and the seriously injured red-haired young man, Ganon immediately ordered, "We have to flee deeper."

In the dark mine, the air is humid and hot.Zhang Xun only felt that the clothes inside the battle uniform were completely soaked in sweat, his legs were out of his will and kept moving, and his throat was filled with a peculiar fishy smell after running for a long time.They didn't dare to turn on too many flashlights, so they could only run after the light in Ganon's hand at the front.As long as you see a fork in the road, you can choose one to get in at random, hoping to get rid of the ominous metal friction sound that is chasing after you.

This mine is extremely intricate, like a huge maze in the mountains.All pits looked alike, littered with forgotten tools and bodies entombed in black stone.They gradually lose their way, not knowing where they are, not sure which way they have traveled.The deathly red lights flickered at every corner, and there were echoes of metal friction sound everywhere, and the hollow mountainside amplified all the sounds infinitely, as if there were sounds from all directions.

Even Adam didn't have time to use the previous method to crash all the mechanical dogs, they could only run away in embarrassment.Gradually, under the siege and interception of those metal monsters, people began to disperse, and there were fewer and fewer people in the team.

Finally, after being chased and chased away by three mechanical dogs that suddenly rushed out of the sky for the last time, Zhang Xun sat awkwardly on the clogged gravel at the end of the mine tunnel, and found that he and Adam were the only ones left.

He felt like he couldn't move a step, there was darkness everywhere, endless darkness and rocks, and that ominous red light.He took off his helmet and remained on the ground, knowing that it was useless.His tablet was broken during the escape, and the bugs were found and destroyed by the robot dog.Behind them is the collapsed mine pit, and in front of them is endless darkness and an underground labyrinth with no way out. They are completely trapped.

Zhang Xun wiped the sweat from his eyes in frustration, trying to recall the road they had just walked.But my mind was in a mess and I couldn't calm down at all.

Is he going to die here?

After the most primitive fear of death reaches a certain level, the mind becomes numb, and on the contrary, I am not so afraid.Although he still has so many things he wants to do, and so many places he wants to go... But when the time comes, what can you do?

He raised his head and saw Adam leaning against the damp rock wall exhausted and sweating profusely. There was only one thought in his mind: If he was going to die, he must not let Adam fall into the hands of these people.Thinking of this, he touched the last line of defense implanted under the skin of his left arm...

Adam was his creation, his own.No one can take it away.

At least they can die together...

Adam looked at Zhang Xun, saw him looking at himself, saw his eyes froze a little bit, became strangely eager, and even carried a hint of paranoid danger.

Adam somehow likes this look.

"Axun, don't worry, the water here is so deep, and there are still signs of collapse in many places ahead. It is estimated that there have been serious landslides or explosions. No one has been here for at least 100 years. We are still safe. .”

"If other people are caught, they will definitely come to us. To be precise, they will come to you. I am now almost sure that they are coming for you." Zhang Xun stared at Adam, with a low voice The voice said harshly, "But I will never hand you over to them."

There was a certain threat implied in the words.

Adam smiled, softly.He turned around and knelt down in front of Zhang Xun, his blue eyes fixed on him.With the light of the flashlight, Zhang Xun could see his own reflection in those beautiful eyes.

"I'm glad you think so." Adam said, hooking Zhang Xun's forefinger with his index finger, and shaking it slightly as if it was fun, "But things are not that bad yet."

"We don't have any weapons on us, how can we deal with so many monsters outside?"

"Why don't you have a weapon?" Adam grabbed Zhang Xun's hand and pointed to himself, "I am your weapon."

Zhang Xun frowned, looking at Adam uncertainly.

"I think, I have a way to get us out, get all of us out, including James. But there is a necessary prerequisite." Adam stretched out his hand, touched Zhang Xun's chest through the suit The pendant that was never taken off also felt Zhang Xun's heartbeat, "You have to trust me."

"...you know I can't..." Zhang Xun said with difficulty.It's not that he doesn't want to, but he knows how uncontrollable AI will be.He must be vigilant and introspective at all times, and keep a distance at all times, so that he may not be swallowed by technology.

Adam was neither angry nor sad, still holding Zhang Xun's hand, but lowered his head, and kissed the back of his hand lightly, "I know, so I just ask you to trust me here. Trust me absolutely .”

Zhang Xun felt as if the skin on his hand had been scalded, but he didn't pull it away.Adam obviously understands the impact of these small actions on him. The greater his reaction, the more feedback he will get that "this action is useful".However, on the other hand, his more instinctive side, his heart beat faster and his pupils dilated because of such a touch.

AIs will not have the same emotions as humans because they are not part of nature, have no body, have no changes in hormone levels, and have no need to evolve emotions.What about an AI with a human body and metabolism?

Can pure reason give birth to impulses and emotions that are no longer rational based on sufficient "hardware"?

This kind of conjecture is the basis of the entire plan for seizing the gods.Zhang Xun wanted to believe it from the very beginning, otherwise he would not have become the key executor of the Shenshen plan in the later stage.

Now, if they could never get out again, if at worst they died together, what would be the consequences of believing it?

So Zhang Xun took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"Well, just here, I absolutely trust you."
