The mechanic.
Chapter 57 Misfortune
Zhang Xun watched Adam's figure move away quickly in the blue sky, and he just let go of it in one breath, when suddenly he was grabbed by the collar.
He recovered and found himself surrounded by angry crowd.The man who was holding him roared something, but the voice was too noisy for Zhang Xun to hear clearly.Looking at the shape of his mouth, he seemed to be saying: You are going to kill us all!Kill my child!
Countless hands stretched out, scratching his hair, clothes, arms, and fists landed on his face and body. When he was about to fall, he was pushed by another force, as if to tear him apart .In a trance, he thought that he was surrounded by ferocious beasts, and his terrified desire to survive made him struggle continuously, but he was like a bug entangled in a spider web, unable to move at all.
He was scratched with blood on his cheek, and kicked several times on his stomach, and it was impossible to tell who did it.He almost thought he might be killed.
At this moment, many anesthesia needles were suddenly shot at the mob like a torrential rain.The people who lost their minds began to fall one by one.But it turned out that it was Pan who activated the No. [-] protection system without authorization.Zhang Xun felt that he broke free from countless hands, but met a cold muzzle.
It was Zhang Shuo, looking down at him coldly.
Zhang Shuo grabbed Zhang Xun's arm with his strong hands, and forcibly lifted him up who was kneeling on the ground in a mess, but there was no anger in his solemn eyes, but only suppressed worry, "Machine Zhang Xun, where is Adam?! "
The blood left on his forehead flowed from the corner of his eyes, but Zhang Xun sneered with a hoarse voice, "I don't know either."
"There's no way you didn't know! Your report said you had a tracking device on him!"
Zhang Xun was just silent, staring at his father stubbornly.
Zhang Shuo approached Zhang Xun and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You don't want to live anymore?! Hurry up and hand over Adam! Don't get involved in these things anymore!"
Zhang Xun vaguely understood that Zhang Shuo might be protecting him.To pull him out of the vortex involving AI.But it was too late, from the moment he became a mechanic, he was destined to reach this point.
"I, no, know, know!" Zhang Xun said loudly.
Zhang Shuo looked at him disappointedly, as if looking at an ignorant child.Those were Zhang Xun's familiar eyes, and they were also the eyes he hated the most.
"It's an AI, I don't care what delusions you have, it doesn't care about your life or death!" Zhang Shuo growled, his deep eyes seemed to burn through the confusion in Zhang Xun's mind, "If it Caring about you, why would you leave you alone?! You idiot!"
Zhang Xun was unmoved, "Because I let him go. He only listens to me."
Looking at Zhang Xun's obsessive eyes, Zhang Shuo knew that his son had been completely brainwashed and controlled by that Adam.He suddenly pushed Zhang Xun away in frustration, and ordered, "Cuff him and take him back to the headquarters!"
At this time, there were only two hours left before the time limit given by Eden.
The nine chiefs, several major councilors, and high-ranking military officers all gathered in the war room underground of the command headquarters.Zhang Xun's hands were handcuffed in front of his body, and he was led into a depressing and dim room.He noticed that the sixth chief now sat in the very center of the seat that the fifth chief had always occupied.
He was forced to sit on a chair with two gun barrels pointed at his head.The chilly atmosphere is filled with oppressive light, flickering screens, and dense pipes all over the walls and ceiling.He could feel that his life was tied to a thin thread, and it might break if it moved slightly.
Suppressed, smoldering hatred overflowed from many strange eyes.
"Zhang Xun, give me the controllers of all the devices on Adam." The sixth chief said calmly, "From today onwards, you are no longer Adam's mechanic."
Zhang Xun stared at him, blood stained his eyes, but he sneered, "You have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
"You traitor from Paradise Lost! The fifth chief has treated you well, you have shamed your father!" The third chief slammed the table and angrily shouted, "Hand over control of Adam immediately!"
"Our time is running out." Although the first chief's voice was more gentle, with a hint of persuasion, "Zhang Xun, at the critical moment, we will take extraordinary measures. You may care too much about your work, but Now if you don’t cooperate, you are asking for trouble.”
"Zhang Xun, hand over control, and you may be able to pardon you at your discretion during the trial." The sixth chief raised his jaw slightly, although his tone was gentle, but his eyes shone with arrogance and complacency, "Otherwise, I'm afraid even you Father will be held accountable for his ineffective supervision of you."
After the death of the Fifth Chief, the balance of power at the Round Table was disrupted.Now the Sixth Chief seems to occupy some sort of leadership position.This is not surprising, there are many generals in the guard army whose families have close ties with the sixth chief's father.Only in this way, Zhang Shuo's position in the army would be severely shaken. Without the fifth chief to sit in the round table, Zhang Shuo would be in danger of being ostracized.
Roundtable decisions will be largely influenced by this shift in the balance of power, and the chances of convincing them are slim.
But Zhang Xun still tried in vain, "Don't you understand?! Surrendering Adam is suicidal! Adam is the only weapon that can fight against Eden!"
"It's no longer your turn to ask." The sixth chief's eyes became more and more condensed, and he seemed to be losing patience. "If necessary, we can even turn over your entire Lab, and we can always find it."
Zhang Xun sneered disdainfully, "You can try."
"But..." The sixth chief paused, and his tone became darker, "I think with your level of caution, you might implant the controller into your own body, right? In that case, the search range will be smaller .Peel off the skin of your body inch by inch, and you can always find it.”
Zhang Xun widened his eyes in disbelief.In front of so many chiefs and councilors, uttering such a cruel threat, is it possible that no one cares about him?
Zhang Shuo couldn't listen anymore, "Sixth Chief! Even if Zhang Xun is guilty, he still has to wait for the trial. It is not appropriate to use lynching!"
The sixth chief raised an elegant and polite smile and looked at Zhang Shuo, "Commander, I understand that you are eager to protect your son. But now this matter is related to the survival of the entire Lost Paradise, and extreme measures must be used. You don't want to be a sinner through the ages." Bar?"
As soon as the voice fell, the sixth chief raised his hand, and a soldier next to him immediately grabbed Zhang Xun's right wrist, lifted his sleeve roughly, and searched carefully for any protrusions or signs of injury on his arm .At the same time, the other hand took out a saber, and when he pressed the button, the sharp blade with a cold light bounced out and landed coolly on his skin.
Zhang Xun's heart was beating wildly, and he began to struggle hard, but the soldiers next to him immediately held him tightly, making him unable to move.
Zhang Shuo was shocked and wanted to go forward, but was stopped by a general and said in a low voice, "Commander Zhang, please think twice. Your son has already committed treason. Do you want to go to prison with him?"
Zhang Shuo's eyes were filled with repressed anger, his hands clenched into fists, and a look of determination began to condense.He was about to draw his gun when another officer hurriedly pressed his hand quietly and said softly, "If you go in too, no one will be able to save Zhang Xun."
At this moment, as if feeling that his father wanted to do something impulsive for himself, Zhang Xun suddenly lost his composure and shouted, "I won't give it to you! Adam is mine! I created him!" He said viciously Staring at the sixth chief, he said in a venomous voice, "Don't even think about it, you greedy mediocrities!"
The anger in the sixth chief's eyes was finally uncontrollable, and pure hatred pervaded his brows and eyes.He stood up abruptly, and ordered harshly, "Cut off the inside of his arm, and search for it carefully!"
When the blade was pressed into the flesh and the first stream of blood flowed down Zhang Xun's wrist, a soldier suddenly rushed in and reported loudly, "Report to the chief! We have found Adam's trail, and he is rushing to the fifth district The shield that was bombed by Eden is empty!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.The sixth chief hurriedly ordered, "Open the monitoring screen!"
Zhang Xun also cried out in his head.Didn't he tell Adam to stay away from District [-]?What is he doing there? !
The big screen behind Zhang Xun was turned on, and he also turned around, staring at the blue flying bird that appeared on the screen with wide eyes.
Adam waved his silver wings, curling up with ice-blue flames, like a goshawk rushing towards the huge discs above his head.Eden had obviously seen him, and almost immediately, several nearby aircraft began to emit an ominous red light, and then countless high-energy rays poured down like skyfire, interweaving into a chaotic web of death.And Adam is like a light and agile feather in the flames, drawing a blue arc and brushing past the god of death again and again, facing the flames and rushing towards the aircraft closest to him.
What is he doing?
Zhang Xun opened his eyes wide, his mind went blank.
Is he committing suicide, or is he running away?
Were all of Eden's threats false, to create an opportunity for Adam to escape at this moment?
Is it true that I was brainwashed and controlled by Adam as my father said, so that I made such a mistake?
Or is Adam trying to regain control, trying to save Paradise Lost?Save him too?
He doesn't know, doesn't know anything.Anything is possible, but nothing is within his control.
No, he has control, he can put Adam on standby now, and the distance between them is still within his controllable distance.But he can also choose to continue to believe, to believe blindly.
"What is he doing?!" Someone asked loudly, but no one could give him an answer.
The moment Adam landed on the nearest aircraft, a hatch on the fuselage opened, and countless small aerial robots flew out and began firing in Adam's direction.However, Adam stretched one wing wider to protect his body, and the other wing quickly deformed into some kind of sharp blade, cutting the hull of the aircraft.Then he slipped in through the gap.
Next, there is 3 minutes of silence.
Those 3 minutes were too long, and everyone breathed to their hearts, not sure if they would survive the next second.Not sure if this counts as "handing over Adam" and whether it will bring peace.
And Zhang Xun was just praying, praying that Adam would not die.
Pray it's not suicidal.
He didn't even know which possibility he would prefer between self-sacrifice and ruthless betrayal.Whichever one would cause him less pain.
After 3 minutes, they noticed that all the aircraft began to turn slowly, and the hull was tilting strangely.Just when everyone didn't know what happened, all the aircraft suddenly fired at the same time.
It's just that they fired at each other.
In the most powerful high-energy death ray, those aircraft exploded one after another.The entire sky outside the shield became a sea of flaming flames.The steaming flames rolled along the heat wave and spread in all directions along the arc of the shield, which was extremely gorgeous and beautiful.
what happened?Eden lost control of those flying machines?
When the shock gradually turned into the ecstasy and excitement of the rest of the catastrophe, Zhang Xun was the only one who looked at the sky on the screen that had been swallowed up by black smoke clouds and demonic flames. He tried to find a trace of blue light in it. , but the smoke was so thick that he couldn't see anything.
Tears began to pool in his eyes, and he felt himself trembling like falling into an ice cave.
"Adam... no..."
The author has something to say: Of course Adam will not die~
Thanks to the two little angels who threw the mines~~~: Oh, three three three
He recovered and found himself surrounded by angry crowd.The man who was holding him roared something, but the voice was too noisy for Zhang Xun to hear clearly.Looking at the shape of his mouth, he seemed to be saying: You are going to kill us all!Kill my child!
Countless hands stretched out, scratching his hair, clothes, arms, and fists landed on his face and body.
