The mechanic.

On the way from the headquarters to the hospital, Zhang Xun saw a bleak scene that he had never seen before.There were not many people in the narrow streets that were always crowded and lively, and the doors of every house were closed, probably because they were afraid of being infected by the terrible honey plague.However, the virus is still pervasive, and sticky yellow marks can be seen on many doors and windows.Medical staff wrapped in protective clothing forcibly brought out symptomatic patients from room to room. Some of the patients even began to show a certain tendency to violence, with pale yellow pus dripping from their bodies, and they walked on the street like monsters. Howled and struggled.

In just two or three days, the plague has already begun to spread to the first district.

The round table concealed the death toll, as well as the mutations that began to occur in the later stages of the plague.But these chapters and Xun have already seen it from the report.The Round Table cannot hide from Zhang Xun, because he is the controller of Adam, and Adam may be able to develop an antidote before the honey plague mutates into a more dangerous form.

On the way, Zhang Xun saw a man standing at the door with his eyes wide open, watching the medical staff stun his father, who was wielding a hatchet and was dripping with yellow mucus, with an electric shock.The boy was weeping, silently, his little body quivering with sobs.The purest, most primitive, and strongest fear of human beings is condensed in those eyes that should be innocent, which is enough to distort a person's soul.

He also saw an old man, hugging the emaciated and old body of his partner soaked in yellow mucus, kneeling in despair to the medical staff.

And the people rushing past him with their faces wrapped in cloth towels or wearing gas masks.In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the Middle Ages, to the period when the Black Death was rampant.After so many centuries, people are still helpless and trembling in the face of the epidemic.

If Eden can do such a thing and develop such a rapidly mutating virus, what about Adam?

Would Adam do such a thing?

Zhang Xun stood in front of two closed heavy cedar doors, and behind him, a pair of eyes stared at him.Every soldier has a deadly weapon in his hand. Although he is not pointed at him, the threat is very clear.

Although the round table had signed the official document, he noticed that the official document stated that the guards would no longer be responsible for the security of the Lab.The round table will no longer allocate funds to Lab, but you can buy new weapons from Lab at a reasonable price.

That is to say, Lab lost its official protection.As the person in charge of the Lab, he is no longer an object to be protected, but an object to be guarded against.

A doctor opened the door for him.Clean light streamed out from behind the door, and Zhang Xun saw Adam sitting on a chair supported by some brackets at a glance.Adam remained motionless, like a corpse.The skull was opened, and part of the human brain wrapped in solution and the artificial brain he made were exposed to the air. Countless threads stretched out, weaving into a fine net.

Many computers are monitoring Adam's brain wave signals, and there are also many wires extending from Adam's wrist and heart, and monitoring Adam's other physiological signal data.In the forest of computers and data cables, a young man in his 20s raised his head in panic.

It was a man of Asian descent, with a handsome face and bright eyes.Zhang Xun had some impressions of him, as if he was No.1 in the latest mechanic assessment.At that time, Fernandez also specifically mentioned him to Zhang Xun, saying that his name was Jian Mo, and he was very smart, even a bit like the "young" Zhang Xun.

But Zhang Xun was busy designing Adam's new arm at the time, so he didn't have time to look at the test results of those new mechanics, so he just answered and passed.Now it seems that he is the "genius" that James said, and he is likely to be able to crack his control over Adam.

Zhang Xun immediately felt a certain threat, a threat that sooner or later he would be replaced by a younger and smarter opponent.He stared at the young man coldly, without making a sound.

Jian Mo seemed a little at a loss.A member of parliament who followed came forward and told him that the round table had reached a consensus with Zhang Xun, and that Adam would still be in charge of Zhang Xun from now on.

There was a moment of unwillingness and disappointment on Jian Mo's face. He whispered something, but the councilor's face sank, "This is an order from the round table."

Jian Mo pursed his lips tightly, and then walked towards Zhang Xun cautiously, with a look of awe similar to meeting someone who admired him, he stretched out his hand, "Machine Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you, I've been I admire you very much!"

Looking at this person who was at least ten years younger than himself, Zhang Xun knew that he had no reason to feel threatened, but there was a...very unpleasant feeling in his heart.

But he still shook hands with the other party politely, but his tone was a bit sharp, "I heard that you want to crack my system. How is it going?"

Jane Mo showed a look of panic, and replied uneasily, "Your design is very close to perfection, and my progress is slow, but... it is not impossible if you give me time..."

This sentence, which seemed to show weakness but was actually provocative, made Zhang Xun's eyes shoot out a burst of anger.

Everyone wants to snatch Adam from him, because they have seen Adam's strength and perfection.

He made it perfect.

"Unfortunately, you don't have time, and you won't have it in the future." Zhang Xun stared at him coldly, then walked around him and walked towards Adam.

A look of hurt appeared on Jian Mo's face for a moment.He told Zhang Xun that Zhang Xun was his idol. He was not lying. When he was a student, he was taken to visit the Lab, and he was deeply attracted by the artificial intelligence Pan trained by Zhang Xun.It was precisely because of this that he chose to become a mechanic, devoted himself wholeheartedly, and passed the examination with the best grades.He had been looking forward to meeting Zhang Xun and showing him the artificial intelligence he designed...but that never happened.

Then, he met Adam.

In an instant, he was captivated.

The most powerful artificial intelligence in the world, stored in the body of a man with an angelic smile.Oddly fitting...

He wanted to get close to Adam, but he had no chance.But this time, he got his chance and almost succeeded.But at this moment, the round table compromised...

He didn't even have time to say a word to Adam.

"Don't worry, this is a stopgap measure." The congressman who took him away whispered in his ear, "After you go back to the Lab, you have to restrain your edge. Work hard, and you will have a bright day."

Jian Mo vaguely understood what he meant, and nodded slightly.

On the other side, Zhang Xun ordered, "Everyone go out and close the door."

The soldiers hesitated, unsure if they should obey his orders.Zhang Xun turned his head impatiently, his tone became more and more serious, "I'll say it again, get out."

Finally, an officer nodded, and all the soldiers, doctors and nurses filed out and closed the gate.

Zhang Xun turned his head, and in an instant, the sharpness in his eyes just now had completely disappeared.He became Zhang Xun again, the unsmiling man with quiet eyes, looking almost tenderly at the sleeping man.

He activated the device on his arm, quickly entered the command, and pressed down on the pattern with force.Then he raised his hand and lightly touched Adam's drooping, flawless cheek.

It also takes a while for the wakeup procedure to start.In this short period of time, he didn't need to pretend.

His eyes unknowingly became a little moist.When Lab let Adam go, he wasn't sure if that would be the last time the two of them would see each other.

At that time, he was ready to be tortured and interrogated to death.Thinking about it now, how could I be so crazy at that time

James was right, he was obsessed with Adam.

He was even willing to die for Adam.

This is probably the last thing that should happen to a creator, the beginning of the destruction of all creators - to love a creature with human love, which probably has no such ability at all.

Yes, he probably already fell in love with Adam.Probably from the moment Adam opened those ethereal blue eyes for the first time, he was destined to fall in love with him.

After all, he was never loved, never attached, never understood.And these feelings, Adam gave him.

Even if it's an illusory and carefully designed warmth, he can't resist it.

After all, Zhang Xun still has his pride and bottom line.So no matter what, he can't let his guard down, and he can't indulge in his feelings.In front of Adam, he would never admit his true feelings.

But it doesn't matter now.

Before Adam woke up, when his brainwaves just started to show the first peak, Zhang Xun raised his head and kissed Adam's cold lips lightly.

After a while, Adam's brain wave peak became more secretive, and his heartbeat began to speed up.Zhang Xun saw that Adam's eyeballs began to roll, so he took a step back, limiting the distance to one step again.

The blue eyes slowly opened, blinked a few times, and the initial layer of confusion faded away.Adam looked up, confused to find he couldn't move.But soon, he saw Zhang Xun, and a hint of understanding appeared on his face.

"Axun..." Her throat was a little hoarse after she hadn't spoken for a few days, but she was extremely charming.

Zhang Xun immediately began to unplug the wires connected to his brain, return the skull and scalp to their original positions, and remove the bracket.Adam's body collapsed, and Zhang Xun tried to catch him, but failed. After a cry of surprise, the two fell to the ground on top of each other.

Adam lay on Zhang Xun's body, and suddenly let out a low laugh.

"What are you laughing at! Get up quickly!" Zhang Xun tried to push Adam away, but Adam grabbed his wrist.

Adam raised his body slightly, and lovingly stroked the still-healing scar on Zhang Xun's forehead with his organic alloy fingers, "I remembered that something like this happened when I just descended from the gods. I can't walk , you couldn’t catch me again, we fell to the ground together.”

Zhang Xun also chuckled unknowingly when he recalled the chaotic first day.

It's only been more than half a year, why does it feel like it's already happened in the previous life?

Adam looked down at him, looking so seriously, "Axun, thank you for your hard work."

But Zhang Xun's smile froze for a moment.

All those doubts that Adam could have forgotten while he was on standby, came rushing back now.This made Zhang Xun feel a little sad.

Doubt, eternal doubt.

He pushed Adam away, sat up, and bowed his head in thought for a few seconds.Then say, "Honey Plague... have you ever heard of it?"

Adam frowned, "I've only heard of the Black Death, the Ebola virus... and names like plague, which modern medicine has long abandoned."

"While you were on standby, Eden dropped a biochemical weapon in the fifth district. It is a virus with a strong ability to mutate. When the disease progresses to the middle stage, the pores of the whole body will secrete golden yellow pus, and the patient will also develop photophobia. , hallucinations, personality changes and other symptoms. Did you participate in this research when you were Eden?"

Confusion appeared on Adam's face, "Biochemical weapons? Such a decision is really strange."

"Obviously ordinary air strikes can't kill you, and the losses are heavy. Maybe Eden thinks you are a human being now, and expects the human virus to kill you."

"Is this our bargaining chip?" Adam asked softly, "Find the antidote."

Zhang Xun nodded, "After the matter is completed, Lab will no longer be under the control of the round table and the military. I got the official document."

Adam raised the corners of his mouth, smiling purely, but there was always a hint of unspeakable, hidden evil.

"That being the case, we cannot let them down."
