The mechanic.

The sleeping Adam was taken away, and Zhang Xun was also put back in the cell.Not long after, a doctor was suddenly escorted into the cell, gave Zhang Xun a fever-reducing injection, and bandaged the wounds on his wrists, face and forehead.

Zhang Xun fell asleep for a long time, and when he woke up, he felt that the headache that had been tormenting him before was relieved a lot.He wrapped himself in a damp quilt, looked at the old rusty pipes above his head, and thought about his future with Adam.

If they can really have a future.

The round table will specially send a doctor to treat him, which shows that his threat has worked.They worry that only Zhang Xun has the ability to awaken Adam, so they cannot let him die.Now the round table should find out all the Lab mechanics and let them find a way to bypass their own blockade to wake up Adam.

Although Zhang Xun is very confident in his design, no one can guarantee 100% that there will not be a new mechanic who has not yet emerged with more talent than him, and can find something that he has not discovered himself. Vulnerabilities, bypassing the various permissions he set.He can only pray, pray that he is still the best, the only mechanic qualified to control Adam.

But are you really in control?

Adam saved them all.But at the same time, no one knows what exactly Adam communicated with Eden in less than a minute.How did Adam wrest control from Eden?Could Eden's complex neural network, which has evolved itself for 1 years, also have loopholes?

Faint worries echoed in his mind like eternal white noise.

Another day passed, and there was still no news of the round table.

On the third day, the door opened.A tall doctor wearing a medical mask and a white coat came in to help him change his medicine.At that time Zhang Xun was still curled up on the dirty and narrow bed, got up drowsily, and didn't raise his head to look carefully at the person.

Until he heard a groan and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

He looked up, but saw two guards fell to the ground.The tall doctor gently closed the cell door, then pulled off his mask, revealing a handsome and unruly face.

"James?! Why are you here?!" Zhang Xun widened his eyes.

James listened carefully to the movement outside at the door, and then came to sit down next to Zhang Xun, carefully inspecting the injury on his forehead, "How are you?"

"I'm much better. What are you doing?! You don't want to die!"

"I'll take you away." James said, and took out a set of guard clothes from the first aid kit he carried with him, "I've cleared the relationship, we can leave from a drain on the other side of Lost Lake, and go to Going northwest to Wood Creek, someone can take us to the port, from where we can get mixed into a cargo ship all the way to the refugee country of New Zealand."

James spoke quickly, as if trying to save every second of time.Zhang Xun was confused and asked with difficulty, "You want...to take me away? Where is Adam?"

James paused slightly, raised his head, and looked at him with sad and worried deep eyes, "Leave Adam alone. I heard that there is a new mechanic who has passed the examination, and it seems likely that he will be able to bypass your The device awakens Adam."

Zhang Xun's heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, and his mind went blank.

The most worrying thing still happened.He overestimated his abilities and underestimated the potential of rising stars.

There is only one Adam, but the Mechanic is never the only one.

"Once he cracks it successfully, the round table will never keep you. The sixth chief will never keep you. We must go now." James said, stuffing his clothes into his arms, "taking advantage of the attention of the round table It's all on Adam's side, now is the best time."

Zhang Xun looked at him, but shook his head, "No. I can't go."

James seemed to suddenly be unable to restrain some kind of emotion that Zhang Xun never knew was there, and he glared at him almost fiercely and growled, "Why! Do you still think you didn't sink deep enough in this muddy water?! Adam will be fine! The Round Table doesn’t dare to hurt him! But once you lose your value, the Round Table will never be lenient. What’s more, they want to take this opportunity to remove Commander Zhang Shuo! Why are you still hesitating!”

"I can't go with you! You have nothing to do with these things, and I can't harm you!" Zhang Xun met James' anxious gaze firmly, "Leave Paradise Lost, and you will always be a fugitive. It's all ruined! Get out of here immediately!"

"Don't be stupid! Do you believe that I knocked you out and took you out?!" James said threateningly, "Hurry up and change your clothes."

"I said, I'm not leaving." Zhang Xun looked at him calmly, "Thank you James. But I'm willing to bet, I can afford to lose."

"Just for Adam? Are you dying for that artificial intelligence? Are you controlling him or is he controlling you?" James stared at him in disbelief, as if he was looking at a lunatic who was obsessed with ghosts, "What the hell are you doing?" What do you expect from him?!"

What does he want... It seems that more than one person has asked him this way recently.

James stood up suddenly, grabbed Zhang Xun's wrist, pulled him up, and pulled him towards the door.Zhang Xun struggled, but his tone was still calm, "You know, it is impossible for us to escape in this state. The time for the doctor to change my medicine has passed, and someone will come soon."

James looked at the timer on his wrist and knew what Zhang Xun said was right.He cursed, "Do you want to die that much!"

"I'm not necessarily going to die. You have to protect yourself. In the end, my father and I may depend on you to survive." Zhang Xun put his other hand on the back of James' hand, "Jamie, listen Me once, you go, protect yourself!"

James glared at him unwillingly, but finally the time had passed.He cursed in frustration, opened the door and fled.

The next few days were tougher, each day he waited to hear that a new mechanic had replaced him.But as the days passed, there was still no sound.

Then, one clear morning, an invisible unmanned aerial vehicle flew over Lost Paradise and dropped a biobomb in the as yet unrepaired cavity of Sector Five.

Most of the people in the fifth district have been evacuated, so the explosion did not cause casualties.But a strange yellow smoke with a pungent smell gradually diffused silently in the air with excessive radiation in the fifth district, and quickly passed through the temporary isolation made of radiation-proof materials around the fifth district belt, and began to spread towards the adjacent fourth and sixth districts.The person who first came into contact with the strange yellow mist did not have any special symptoms at first, but within three hours, a light yellow liquid began to seep from the eyes, ears, nose, and even the pores, and the mind began to lose consciousness, extreme photophobia, some like Symptoms of rabies.Those pale yellow liquids are highly contagious, and it seems that there is a chance of infection just by touching them.

biochemical weapon……

Eden had never used anything like this before.

Was this Pandora's box opened to infect Adam, who already had a human body?

Because the mucus secreted by the patient's body is golden yellow like honey, it is also called Honey Plague (Honey Plague).It quickly spread to the fourth and sixth districts with the fifth district as the center, and the hospitals in each district were suddenly overwhelmed with patients who began to show symptoms.But the doctors don't know whether it is a virus or something else, and it will take a lot of time to research a vaccine.

The problem is they don't have time.Eden calculated that it would not be difficult for the plague to spread in their relatively closed environment, and when he thought that the garbage was almost cleaned up, he would come again with thousands of troops.

Zhang Xun didn't know these until later.He only knew that one day he was suddenly taken out of the prison, and sent all the way outside the grand door of the round table.

In the council hall, there were only five chiefs present, and the sixth chief sat next to the vacant fifth chief, staring at Zhang Xun with extremely depressed and dark eyes.

"Honey Plague, how much do you know?" the First Chief asked.

Zhang Xun shook his head and didn't know, so a clerk quickly explained what happened in the past two days.

Zhang Xun was stunned, and always felt that Eden's strategy seemed to have changed to some extent.Cruel and inefficient weapons like biochemical weapons are not Eden's style.

And at this point in time... it seems suspicious... Is he thinking too much?

"More people are infected every day, and the wards of major hospitals are full... The speed is amazing. Coupled with the previous siege... People in other areas have begun to panic and riot, trying to forcefully escape Paradise Lost Yes. We need Adam to create the vaccine as quickly as possible. From the timeline, he must have participated in the research of this weapon." The first chief said in a gentle voice, "Zhang Xun, wake up Adam."

It seems that the genius mechanic is not talented enough after all...

Zhang Xun maintained his calm face, his eyes fixed on the sixth chief.He knew that it would be embarrassing to make a request at such a time, but this was the only way to force the round table to accept his conditions.

"I can wake him up at any time. You should all know my conditions." Zhang Xun fixed his eyes on the sixth chief. "Give me the autonomy of the Lab and write it into a decree. There is only such a simple request."

"Using the lives of your own compatriots to threaten the round table, Zhang Xun, you are a disgrace to mankind." The voice of the sixth chief was arrogant and cold, like the pope judging the world from above.

Zhang Xun felt a blunt pain in his heart, as if his soul was indeed rotten like the sixth chief said.But he has already learned to keep his composure and separate his emotions from his appearance.

"Today I just need to sign a written document. You don't need to formally revise it immediately. As soon as you sign it, I will wake Adam up immediately." Zhang Xun said calmly, as if he was not affected by those contemptuous words and eyes.

After a short period of silence, the sixth chief finally leaned back on the chair and said lightly, "Okay, if you want Lab to have a certain degree of autonomy, I'll give it to you."
