The mechanic.

Making nanorobots was easy for Adam, but the difficulty was that they lacked enough materials to make sophisticated devices that could work at the molecular level.As for the solution to this kind of problem, the only way is to rely on the hunting group to take the risk of buying from the black market.

And this task once again fell on the hunting group led by James.

Before leaving, James finally met Zhang Xun.Not in the Lab, because in the process of developing the antidote against the plague, the round table sent many eyeliners to scout around the Lab.Strangely, some mechanics also took the initiative to return to the Lab to resume work, including the young man named Jian Mo.Although Zhang Xun is very disgusted with him, and has a sense of crisis in his heart that he doesn't want to admit, but he can't find any reason to refuse him to return to the Lab.Fortunately, he has already modified Pan's permission settings. No one can access Pan's core cognitive modules except him, and it is unlikely that those technologies that he has kept secretly will be obtained.

But even so, there are many things that are inconvenient to say in the Lab.

This was not their usual bar, dimly lit and languid jazz playing.Zhang Xun lowered the hat on his head, turned up the collar of his coat, and found James who had already ordered wine and started drinking.James looked haggard, with a beard that hadn't been shaved in two days, still wearing his favorite old leather jacket, and tilted his head back to drink the last sip of whiskey in his glass.

Zhang Xun sat down opposite him.

"Hey, Xun." James grinned at him and waved his hands casually.

At this time the waiter came over and asked Zhang Xun what he wanted.Zhang Xun ordered a martini, then frowned and watched James order another glass of whiskey.

"Are you okay, Jamie?" Zhang Xun asked worriedly.

James glanced at him and shrugged, "It's still the same. You still have the heart to worry about me? Worry about yourself."

Zhang Xun was slightly confused, "I'm fine."

"You fell out with the round table, are you still applauding? Now they need you and your robot. When they don't need you..."

"They will always need me." Zhang Xun said calmly, "As long as they need Adam, they will need me."

"What about Adam? How do you know he won't break your controls?"

"Pan kept staring at him, he didn't stand a chance."

"What if Pan is also cracked by him?"

Zhang Xun sighed helplessly, "It's not that easy. Pan is already a very mature artificial intelligence."

"Adam is more mature." James said meaningfully, took the whiskey delivered by the waiter just now, and shook the huge ice cubes inside.After the waiter put away Zhang Xun's drink and left, James continued, "You should come with me."

"James, didn't you accept Adam before?" Zhang Xun frowned, tilting his head slightly as if he didn't understand, "Why suddenly..."

"Because the whole thing is so wrong." James sat up a little bit, and looked at Zhang Xun seriously with beautifully described eyes, "At first I really thought he was under your control. But this time, this time he has already He went out, and he even had contact with Eden. But he came back? Why? Do you really believe that he came back for you?"

These words slightly opened a small hole in Zhang Xun's heart.

This is a question he asks himself every day, but hearing others ask it, it seems that the suspicion is becoming more and more difficult to ignore.

"If he wants to destroy Paradise Lost, he can just do nothing when Eden besieges us." Zhang Xun tried to defend Adam, "And now, he can completely ignore us and wait for the plague to spread to the army. We're done."

"A mere Paradise Lost, Eden wanted it, and he won it long ago. When the fifth chief was killed, I figured it out. For some reason, Eden has been keeping us on purpose. It wants What it wants is something else, something more important to us, to human beings... I don’t know what it wants, but I just have this intuition.” He paused, then added, “We are in On the outside, you have to rely on these intuitions to survive. My intuition has always been accurate."

Eden kept them on purpose, and Zhang Xun already knew about it from Adam.But James was able to start to doubt intuitively, which shows that his insight is indeed beyond ordinary people.Otherwise, it would be impossible to bring out the best hunting group and get his father's appreciation.

Zhang Xun lowered his eyes, the uneasiness in his heart was stirred up by James' words.But he didn't want to admit it, he didn't want to face it.Now he has a lot of things to think about, just to protect Adam and himself, he has exhausted his mind.

At this time, the back of Zhang Xun's hand was suddenly held down by James.The other party said to him with a look that was half sincere and half suppressed, "I know, Adam is special to you. But you don't have to be tied to him."

Zhang Xun knew that James was worried about him, but...it was too late.

Adam gave him so much, so much he never had, didn't even know he wanted.For example, the feeling of being trusted and relied on, such as the feeling of being understood and loved, such as being regarded as the only feeling.

Those things, maybe not real, maybe just the means used by Adam to survive and control him.But his feelings are real.

If Adam is a fire pit, he has already jumped into it.

"Jamie, I can't do it..." Zhang Xun took a deep breath, looked up at James, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

James' expression was more sad than disappointed.It was as if he had seen Zhang Xun's tragic future.

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

After the hunting group left, Zhang Xun was busy with the preliminary design of nano-robots, and Adam's research and development of anti-antibodies was almost completed, and he just waited for the hunting group to return and start manufacturing robots.

The information about the technology and information of nano-robots in Lost Paradise is limited. Although Zhang Xun himself brought back a lot of information from the hunting group, it still cannot be as rich as the information stored in Adam's mind.He often has to work with Adam in the reference room until two or three in the morning, trying to digest all the knowledge Adam told him.

Once, he accidentally fell asleep lying on the keyboard, and in a daze, he heard Adam talking to Pan in AI language.

Zhang Xun suddenly woke up.

The moment he sat up, the two AIs stopped talking.Zhang Xun stared at Adam suspiciously, "What are you talking about?"

With a natural expression, Adam pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Zhang Xun, "I'm inputting the human body language and micro-expression database for Pan. I remember you said last time that the data is not enough."

Zhang Xun raised his brows with doubts on his face.With an expression of "I can't do anything with you", Adam said to Pan, "Pan, show on the screen everything I said to you during the half hour when A Xun fell asleep just now."

Pan Guo did as he did, and dense AI languages ​​appeared in front of Zhang Xun.Originally, the AI ​​language is not a language that can be understood immediately, and it needs to be decoded through certain calculations and transformations. It is so dizzy to read so much.He picked out a few lines of translation at random, roughly confirmed that Adam was not lying, and then said awkwardly, "You two are not allowed to use AI language to talk in the future."

Adam's face fell, "But human language is very slow."

"...Are you in a hurry?"

Adam seemed speechless. After pondering for a while, he could only answer obediently, "I'm sorry, I won't use it anymore."

Zhang Xun yawned, stood up and planned to go to his small room to rest.He took a few steps towards the door and found Adam following behind him step by step.

"You want to rest too?" Zhang Xun asked.

Adam nodded seriously, "Yes."

However, when Zhang Xun opened the door of his room and Adam was still following behind him like a ghost, he finally got a little nervous, "Your room is next door."

"Axun, I don't like my recent dreams. The data in my database shows that effective ways to reduce nightmares include breathing exercises, meditation, drug assistance, etc. But it is also very good to fall asleep with someone you trust and like. One of the good ways."

Zhang Xun opened his mouth slightly and was stunned, "You... want to sleep with me?"

Adam smiled like a big sunflower, "Yes!"

"no!"

"Why?" Adam opened his scary blue eyes, "According to Pan's observation, I have good sleep habits and rarely turn over."

"That's not the problem! Two adults can't just sleep together!"

"But we are not casual." Adam looked confused, "According to my calculations, our intimacy should have reached the level where we can trust each other and sleep together."

Zhang Xun's cheeks were flushed and his palms were sweating.He knew Adam was talking about simply sleeping in the same bed, but...

Who wouldn't think too much about this thing? !

"But... But I only have a sofa here..." He quickly thought of an excuse in his mind.

"There are enough beds in my house to accommodate two adult male humans." Adam also quickly gave a solution.

"I'm not used to sharing a bed with other people!"

Seeing Zhang Xun's resolute refusal, Adam showed a slightly hurt expression.After a while he obediently said, "Ah...then forget it..." and turned to leave.

Zhang Xun looked at the slumped broad shoulders, hated himself, and said something mysteriously, "Wait a minute..."

Ten minutes later, the two of them were lying side by side on Adam's bed.Soft cotton sheets, the bed frame creaked strangely when turned over.

Zhang Xun lay down solemnly, with his hands folded on his abdomen, like a mummy that hadn't been wrapped yet.

Instead, Adam leaned over, leaning on one arm, his blue eyes glowing like a cat in the dark, "Axun, can I hug you to sleep?"

Zhang Xun held back for a long time before saying, "Hot."

"Did you forget, my arms can regulate the temperature."

How could it be possible to forget... the arm I made... Zhang Xun was half annoyed, half expecting that he would not admit it anyway, turned over and turned his back to Adam, "Stop arguing and go to sleep!"

"Good night, Axun."

"……Good night."

When he woke up the next morning, Zhang Xun found himself sleeping in Adam's broad and warm embrace. Adam's chin was pressed against his forehead, breathing long and lightly on top of his head like a feather.

That night was Zhang Xun's month, no, it was the best night he slept in years.
