The mechanic.

Zhang Xun followed James and Diego quickly through the dark and damp underground pipes, stepping on mud and sewage all the way, smelling the disgusting smell of rotting garbage.Occasionally, I was startled by a mouse slipping past my feet.

They had just escaped from the underground refuge that had been abandoned for nearly 100 years and had been transformed by Adam under the border of the fifth district.It was originally prepared for the long-term bombing of Paradise Lost in order to prevent them from being bombed by Eden at the beginning of its establishment.Not many people remember it until now.Adam obviously saw the relevant records from the reference room, so he set Zhang Xun's prison there.It doesn't need to do too much work, and it is concealed, so it is not easy to be found.

Zhang Xun counted them all the way out, there were five guards in total, three were knocked down by James with anesthesia bombs, and two were knocked unconscious by Diego.It should be enough for five people to guard a powerless mechanical system, but based on Zhang Xun's understanding of Adam, the other party will definitely install monitoring equipment and facial recognition devices here and there. An intruder or breach would trigger an alarm immediately.

During the escape, Zhang Xun paid careful attention and indeed found some cameras.

But why wasn't the alarm triggered?

In this regard, James' answer was that Fernandez helped them hack into the monitoring system here and replaced it with some pre-recorded images.But Zhang Xun felt that it should not be so simple.

The system set by Adam has no loopholes to exploit.

It's just that he doesn't have time to think too much now.Even James and Diego would be in danger if they were caught.

Enter the drainage system from the shelter, and then through the drainage system to reach near his apartment in the third district.The intricate underground pipelines are like a labyrinth, and several times they walked into a dead end blocked by iron railings, and even accidentally fell into a ditch.

The only source of light is the lights on the helmets of two soldiers, and the two lonely beams of light tear through the darkness that has been neglected for an unknown period of time.

When they arrived in the third district, which was about close to Zhang Xun's apartment, they climbed out of a well.It was three o'clock in the morning, and the streets were dark and empty, and the energy-saving street lights were all turned off.

Zhang Xun has already told James the location and password of the safe of the core module of Zangpan.The two soldiers turned on the stealth function on their battle suits, quickly crossed the street, and ran to the residential building where Zhang Xun's apartment was located.

Zhang Xun waited at the bottom of the well, pacing back and forth anxiously.He recalled the process of their escape over and over again, and always felt that it was too smooth.

Like someone was deliberately trying to let him go.

Is someone in the round table secretly opposing Adam?or...

No, it couldn't be Adam.He poses a serious threat to him and his plan. As an AI that does everything with a purpose, Adam will never do such a thing that violates logic and common sense.

But what if Adam had been reverse-affected by his human body?

Various possibilities lingered in Zhang Xun's mind, as if several voices were arguing loudly.

Should he stay? Is there room for Adam to maneuver?

But what if all this is his own wishful thinking?How could he convince Adam if Adam never came to see him for the rest of the time?

If what he wants to say about Adam has already been thought of, it’s just that he doesn’t care about the too “human” details that Zhang Xun is worried about, and doesn’t care about the ablation of individuals and the collective consciousness that is likely to go to extremes... If Adam only cares about human beings gaining eternity If he doesn’t care about whether there is something more important than happiness, then no matter what he says, it will only interfere with Adam.

From the very beginning, from the moment Eden was created, Adam's actions at this time were inevitable.

Zhang Xun made a decision, he still had to leave.Here he will never be able to grasp the opportunity and take the initiative.No matter what he does, it is under Adam's prediction and influence.

James and Diego came back smoothly, and handed over the small hard drive with Pan's core module to him.Zhang Xun finished the hard drive, pulled the pendant around his neck out of his clothes, and put the hard drive together with the database that Adam gave him.

Before dawn, they reached the sewers at the border of the tenth district.The water flow in the ditch became turbulent here, rushing through several metal railings, heading towards the unknown darkness.

Without saying a word, Diego turned on the anti-flood system on the battle suit, picked up the steel shears in his backpack, stepped into the rushing water, and began to cut the metal railings.

Zhang Xun asked James softly, "How did you get in touch with Diego?"

James said, "I don't know anyone around me who I can trust, but I know that you are very familiar with him, and he has lived outside of Paradise Lost, so I went to the garbage disposal plant to ask him for help. I didn't expect him to agree help me."

Zhang Xun nodded, sighed softly, with a guilty look on his brows, "If you help me this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Paradise Lost."

James didn't show much seriousness. Instead, he grinned and showed his white teeth, "What are you doing here? Are you waiting to be turned into a zombie?"

On the other side, Diego was also quarreling, "I knew that your robot boy was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He just behaved like a grandson in front of you."

Zhang Xun reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, "I'm not vigilant enough."

"Okay, it's not your fault alone." Diego said, cutting the last railing.

James handed the respirator to Zhang Xun, and then connected the two of them with a rope so as not to be washed away in the current.

"Don't be afraid, protect your head carefully and don't hit the rock. I will hold you." James squeezed his shoulder hard, comforting Zhang Xun who was obviously nervous because of seeing the water.

Zhang Xun can't swim and is very afraid of water.It has been like this since childhood.

But this time I had to dive before I learned how to swim.

Zhang Xun put on the respirator, only to feel his heart beating fast, blood surging in his body, but his hands were cold.James led him into the turbulent water, followed Diego in front of him to a fault less than two meters high.Here the water formed a small waterfall, and white foam rushed from the bottom.

"I'll count one, two, three, and jump down together."

Zhang Xun wasn't sure if he would jump when he heard "three", but before he could figure it out, James had already jumped down, dragging him down as well.

His body was quickly submerged in the smelly water, and the feeling of weightless floating made him almost have a heart attack from fright.But after a while, when it got used to the feeling and the respirator was working normally, the panic subsided a little.James swam hard in front, dragging Zhang Xun along the direction of the rushing water and drifting away quickly.

Ups and downs along the way, at first you can still see the man-made embankments on both sides, but gradually only the roughly excavated stone walls remain.If you are not careful, you may be hit by a sharp protruding rock.Zhang Xun evaded in embarrassment all the way, but was bumped several times.He lost all sense of direction, and the only thing he could think of was to keep his body in the water and not to hit his head.

Suddenly, a small light appeared in front of him.When the bright light got closer and bigger, Zhang Xun gasped.

There is a cliff.

The cliff is not very high, only about five or six meters high. Below it is a deep pool, where the water collides and swirls, and then continues to wind its way to the distance.

Zhang Xun didn't have time to make mental preparations, so he screamed in the respirator and fell down with James.They landed precisely in the deepest areas, ensuring that their bodies did not hit the river bed and cause serious injuries.But Zhang Xun still felt as if he fell heavily on the concrete floor, and while he was dizzy, his body was pulled up by James who was going upstream.

When he climbed onto the shore in embarrassment, took off his respirator and inhaled the cold morning air, he vaguely realized that he was already outside Paradise Lost.

He raised his head and saw the steep cliff in front of him.A thin waterfall rushed out of a hole, dyed reddish by the first ray of sunlight in the morning.

Paradise Lost is just behind this cliff, and he probably won't be able to return in his life.

A sharp pain slowly cracked in my heart.No matter how limited Paradise Lost was, how lacking, how stupid...it was his home after all.

James wrapped a marching blanket around him, and pressed his shoulders comfortingly, "We have to leave immediately, it's not safe here."

Zhang Xun took a deep breath, pressed all the turbulent emotions back to the depths, and got up from the ground.

Both James and Diego have a wealth of experience in field survival. Compared with the two of them, Zhang Xun feels like an idiot who cannot take care of himself, and can only follow the instructions of the two of them.They traveled day and night, only resting for four hours at night, and finally arrived outside Hope Town after three days.

Diego knew that in Hope Town, he could connect with an "underground transportation system", a series of well-established smuggling industry chains, which were responsible for quietly transporting people from one place to another.Their plan was to connect with the informant in Hope Town, and then find a way to go to the refugee country of New Zealand.

Outside Hope Town, the three of them found an old abandoned house with the roof collapsed.Zhang Xun saw that the other two put down their salutes, then began to undress, and asked in a daze, "What are you doing now?"

Diego glanced at him impatiently, "We are going to enter the town of the ordinary world now, of course we have to disguise ourselves."

Zhang Xun understood immediately.

They have to change into women's clothes.

The dressing style of women in the general world has become very neutral. There are still many people who wear skirts or other very feminine clothes, but there are also a considerable number of women who look no different from men.But the body curve is still slightly different after all, so it is necessary to make a slight change and spray pheromone spray.

James, who had already applied shaving foam on his face, handed a package to Zhang Xun, "This is for you."

Zhang Xun opened the package, and the first thing he saw was a long black wig...
