The mechanic.

The person Anya sent to investigate the situation near Feather Snake City came back, and the information they brought back was: Feather Snake City is very quiet, the gates are closed, and there seems to be no emergency.People in the towns near Feathered Snake City also said that they saw buyers coming out to buy exchange items.But when people asked what happened to the loud bangs and gunshots in the city, the buyers were silent.

Anya decided to ask Todd to escort Zhang Xun and others across the US-Mexico border.

Todd almost exploded on the spot, "Are you crazy? Are you really going to listen to their nonsense?"

"Probably not nonsense..." Anya sighed, and said, "I asked some old acquaintances, and they said that the shield system of Paradise Lost has changed in the past few days, and it is intermittent and ineffective. ...During the time of disconnection, Adam could have had a chance to communicate with Eden. Eden could have destroyed Paradise Lost in those moments, but it didn't."

"So what? It's not been a day or two since Eden kept Paradise Lost."

"But Paradise Lost robbed its North American server, but it just bombed and besieged once without pain. Don't you find it strange? Based on what we have learned about Eden over the years, it will predict the risk in time Avoid or eliminate risks, but Paradise Lost has shown such a strong threat this time, but it has never had a decent counterattack. That Adam was probably put in on purpose."

"Even if something happens to Paradise Lost, it has nothing to do with us? You want to throw the entire Rhinoceros Town at risk of being destroyed for a few strangers?"

"Obviously something happened to Feather Snake City. If there is something wrong with Paradise Lost, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Anya put her feet up on the table and looked at her brother seriously, "What if the mechanical What the mechanic said is true, how long can the town of Rhinoceros be peaceful? If Eden really wants to turn all of us humans into a giant...monster, who can resist it? The mechanic...if everything he says To be honest, he may be the only one who has a chance, if that's the case, if we don't help him, if he fails, what will happen to us?"

"The premise is that he didn't lie..." Todd could only say angrily when he couldn't speak to his sister.

Anya stood up and walked in front of her younger brother, and stuffed a white square object the size of a quail egg into his hand, "So I'll let you follow along, get to know them, and see what's going on in Feathered Serpent City. I know This mission is risky, but you are the only person I trust the most. After you enter the city, as long as there is a risk, crush this thing immediately. It will send out an electromagnetic pulse signal strong enough to penetrate the barrier of Feather Serpent City. We detected it here. We'll try to get you out right away."

"... Did you get this thing from the black market?" Todd looked at the cube in his palm with distrust.

"If you haven't sent someone back to deliver a message after three days in the city, I'll take someone directly to Feather Snake City." Anya's raised eyes were filled with a hard and sharp light, "I have already sent someone to contact us alliance, we won’t be fighting alone.”

"Hmph, if they knew you were going to compete with Eden, they wouldn't come to help you."

"They have no room to refuse." Anya said coldly.

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

Zhang Xun stuffed all the tools he needed into the backpack, which was full. When he finally tried to pick it up, he stumbled and was almost carried to the ground by the bag.

The corners of Enoch's mouth lifted up, but he didn't laugh out loud.

"Let me do it." Enoch, who was already carrying a large bag and a small bag, easily picked up Zhang Xun's bag.

Although the opponent is a robot that can bear more than [-] kilograms, I still feel a little sorry to see the "tower" stacked high on Enoch's back.

"Thank you."

"Zhang Xun! Are you alright!" Diego's impatient voice came from outside the door.

Zhang Xun hurriedly took Enoch out, and found that James, Diego, Todd with a toothpick in his mouth, and his men were all ready to go, waiting for him.

They have until midnight to cross the US-Mexico border.

It's not too hard a job for the Rhinohorn mob to do every once in a while.They will wear anti-radiation suits and travel through a high-radiation zone contaminated by nuclear bombs after the outbreak of the Third World War 200 years ago.There are fewer mechanical policemen in Eden, and it is even more impossible for human policemen to exist, which is the easiest point to break through.

Zhang Xun felt his scalp go numb at the thought of going directly through the realm of death.

Radiation is immeasurable, invisible, colorless and odorless, and cannot be touched or grasped.You don't even know they're there, they sneak into a small gap in the protective suit, and by the time you realize it's a month later, your hair starts to fall out, your skin starts to fester, and the Every atom is falling apart.

Even robots aren't safe there, gamma rays constantly penetrating everything and billions of neutrons flying around in the air can interfere with signals and destroy electronic parts.Only robots made of special materials can function there for a long time.

A bomb formed a black shadow on the earth, covered with corpses that could not be digested for hundreds of years.Human beings have created weapons capable of destroying a planet, but they don't know how to restrain their desires.If it weren't for human beings being controlled by Eden now, I am afraid that the earth would have become a dead star after a certain nuclear war.

If all human consciousness is uploaded, there will be no more human beings in the world.Will the planet recover a little bit?Will there be new intelligent life?Will they do better than humans?

Zhang Xun sat on the jeep, squinted his eyes in bewilderment, and breathed hard in the wind and sand that hit his cheeks.

Three hours later, they began to approach the edge of the dead zone.The convoy stopped, and everyone began to put on protective clothing, even Enoch.Everyone is careful to make sure all the gaps are sealed, and the only sound that can be heard inside the mask is their own breathing.

The perimeter of the dead zone is surrounded by a fence, covered with signs and signs of "nuclear radiation area", "danger", "no entry", etc., in addition to countless, faded graffiti, written all over the place. "The end of the world," "We all deserve to die," and "Judgment Day has come" are words with apocalyptic flavors.

It can be seen how desperate and panic people were at that time.

It was after the war between men and women that the population of the earth dropped sharply. Since then, the fertility rate has been declining, and it was not stabilized until nearly 50 years ago.But even so, there are fewer than one billion people on Earth today, and many once-prosperous towns are ruins.

In the cities of the ordinary world, you can't feel the desolation of this world, because everything is automating and looks clean and tidy.But when you leave those areas, you will find that the traces of human beings are being swallowed and digested by nature a little bit.

In the dead zone, there is no trace of any living things.There were no birds in the air, nor creeping things on the ground.Only those whitish weeds are scattered on the dry land.

The whole world seems to be dead, a wasteland before the birth of all animals.The motoring sound and smoke of their cars seemed like intruders.Occasionally, animal carcasses and even human bones can be seen on the side of the road.Many rusted giant robots are distributed in the wilderness like dark ghosts, as if frozen in time, quietly waiting for the day of recovery.

Todd's voice came from the headset, "Hansen, take four people and go ahead to see if there is any sign of the mechanical police."

"no problem."

Five riders on motorcycles increased their speed and rushed forward.

After another hour, they passed a town.There they met up with the returning knights, and they reported that there were mechanical policemen approaching ahead, and everyone had better hide in the town.So they hurriedly parked their cars in the back alleys of several houses and hid them, each took their luggage and went into those half-collapsed houses to hide.

Zhang Xun, Enoch, Diego, James, and Todd hid together in a shop that was probably a butcher shop. The remaining hooks for hanging meat hung from the air like a forest, all covered with thick embroidery stains.They found several freezers that were out of power and climbed in one after another.

Zhang Xun and Enuo squatted in the freezer together and closed the door.

Zhang Xun felt that since entering the radiation area, Enoch had been unusually quiet, and seemed a little...sluggish?

"Are you okay?" Zhang Xun used the call control panel on the arm of the protective suit to turn off the shared channel and open the channel between him and Enuo.

"I'm fine, thank you." Enoch's familiar voice.

But I always feel... as if something is missing.

Zhang Xun frowned, "You seem to be talking less suddenly."

"Sorry. What would you like to talk about? I'd love to talk to you."

A strange dry feeling.

Zhang Xun gave up and fell silent.

Robots don't quarrel, and Enoch's voice doesn't show any trace of deliberation.But Zhang Xun just felt that something was turned off.

Personalization parameters?But he obviously already fixed that part, right?

At this moment, Zhang Xunyue saw a black spot crawling quickly from the inside of Enoch's mask with the dim light above his head in the darkness.But when he looked carefully, there was nothing there.

Is it an illusion?

Why was there a... uneasy feeling?

Immediately afterwards, weird mechanical sounds sounded from a distance, and the mechanical police were passing by on the street outside.

The voice of the mechanical police gradually faded away. They opened the refrigerator lid one after another and prepared to come out, but suddenly they heard an explosion.

Todd immediately rushed to the door, but found that the mechanical police probably found a motorcycle they were hiding in the back alley, so he turned back suddenly, just in time to find a few people from Xijiao Town who thought they had left and tried to sneak back into the car .Half of the head of one of Todd's men was burned off by the laser, and the body was lying on the ground, while the other three hid in a house in embarrassment.

Two humanoid mechanical policemen walking upright and a spider-shaped mechanical soldier surrounded the house, and a mechanical policeman kicked the door open.

Todd shouted in the channel, "Everyone else, don't come out, go to cover immediately!" As he spoke, he quickly took out several gun parts from his bag and assembled them together with inhuman speed.It turned out to be a somewhat old gun.

"Mechanic, where is their central processing unit?" Todd squatted by the window, protruding the muzzle of the gun through a broken glass hole, his eyes on the sight.

"The central processing unit of the humanoid mechanical police is generally located in the front chest. I'm not sure about the spider form, but according to the design logic, it should be in the middle of its body." Zhang Xun said quickly while hiding in the shadows.

"Okay, all four of you go back and hide. They might get a sense of where I am after I shoot."

Zhang Xun knew that he couldn't help here, he could only be a burden, so he rushed back to the previous freezer without hesitation.Enoch also followed behind him step by step.Diego hid behind a wall and listened to the movement outside.

James did not leave, but assembled another gun and quietly moved to another window.

"I don't need your help." Todd's irritated voice came from the channel.

The corner of James' mouth came up slightly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to aim."

"Fxxkyou!"

James chuckled a few times, and continued, "Get rid of those two figures first."

"You don't need to give me orders!"

Diego's voice suddenly joined in, and he cleared his throat, "Can you two have a room before flirting?"

Two high-energy rays tore through the air, silently penetrating from the backs of the two mechanical policemen to their chests.The two humanoid mechanical policemen who were shooting at the private houses immediately stopped their movements and stayed in place, all the lights on their bodies went out.But then, the spider-shaped medium-sized mechanical soldier immediately locked on to the store where the two of them were, and an ice-blue ray suddenly shot out from the circle of blue lights in the center of the body.

James immediately pounced on Todd, hugged him and rolled on the ground a few times.The scorching light exploded around them. If it wasn't for the protective clothing, their skin would be burned immediately.

The two were still in shock, and Todd immediately asked nervously, "Is the protective suit damaged?"

James looked back and breathed a sigh of relief, "No."

The two didn't have time to notice the posture of being too close, and got up from the ground in embarrassment.But saw that the spider robot was already waving countless legs and coming towards them.

"I've got to get him out of the way," James whispered, rushing out of the store before Todd even had time to stop him.

"This lunatic..." Todd gritted his teeth, but he also ran out.

After the two of them jumped into a tin dumpster, before they had time to catch their breath, a laser beam passed between their ears.They had no choice but to continue to the car repair shop next door.

At this time, Todd's other men started shooting from their hiding places, attracting the mechanical soldiers' attention.Chaotic lasers shot out from every corner, and there were dense blasting sounds everywhere.All the blue gun muzzles around the mechanical police light up at the same time, and suddenly the hot blue light blooms into a sunflower, bursting out in every direction.

Everyone looked for the wall for cover, but the violent flames ignited all the houses that were on the verge of collapse.Amidst the sudden collapse, many people were forced to escape.

At this moment, James suddenly grabbed his gun, and hastily said to Todd, who was hiding beside him looking for a chance to fight back, "If I die, bring them safely to Feather Serpent City."

Todd opened his eyes slightly, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, James rushed out like an arrow off the string.In the death light rain composed of blue light beams, James was like a swaying black feather, passing through the deadly barriers with extreme agility and agility.

When the mechanical soldiers began to notice the fast-approaching dot, Todd stood up suddenly, shouted and shot desperately at the giant spider.At the moment when the mechanical spider hesitated, James threw himself forward, turned his whole body upside down and passed between the densely packed legs of the spider, raised his gun and pressed the trigger on the middle of the body protected by heavy mechanical legs.

The powerful and hot red light beam disappeared into the body of the mechanical soldier.Suddenly, all the light on the machine went out, and the sound of the machine running quickly disappeared.

Todd gasped heavily, in shock.He burst out from behind cover and ran towards the motionless body of the destroyed spider.

But he saw James lying on his back on the ground, as if he still couldn't recover.Hearing footsteps, he turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth to the pale Todd.

"Looks like I'm lucky."

Todd stared at him blankly, and cursed for a while, "You really are a madman!"
