When he saw Cindy again, Zhang Xun could hardly recognize her appearance. Her skin was covered in boiling blisters, peeling off as if overwhelmed, revealing the bright red muscle underneath. Pale yellow mucus was spilling from her nose and mouth, and the sheets under her were dyed an odd tan with a terrifying stench due to the sloughing of the intestinal mucosa.

Zhang Xun glanced at her situation outside and knew that she had no time.

Although genetic deciphering has made some progress, it is still far from being able to decode Eden's design. Either watch Cindy die, or give her nanobots.

"If she is not injected with nanorobots within the next three days, her chance of survival in the next month will only be eight percent." Pan stood by his side, dutifully providing him with data.

Zhang Xun took a deep breath and decided to ask Cindy in person. He put on a sterile suit, entered the isolation ward, and came to the female soldier who had difficulty breathing.

"Cindy?"

Every breath seemed to be battling death, and the murmur in the chest was suffocating.

How long will James have to be like this

There was no response for a few times. Zhang Xun called without giving up, until her fingers trembled, and she finally lifted her glued eyelids slightly.

"Do you remember what I told you about the nanorobots when you first entered this ward?" Zhang Xun bent down and stared into her tired and painful eyes, "Have you figured out the answer?"

She nodded slightly.

"I...I want to...live..."

Just these few words exhausted her strength.

"You understand what they do to your brain, do you?"

This time she was unable to speak, but her mouth said "yes".

In the face of death, any cost becomes less important.

Zhang Xun handed the programmed syringe to her attending physician, and left with Pan.

He didn't go back to the temple immediately, but strolled along the streets of the eternal sunny day, watching the hibiscus bushes blooming on the side of the road that worried that they were about to burn out, watching the people who were more or less remodeled sitting on the benches to eat For lunch, line up at the hot dog stand and pass by while drinking coffee and talking and laughing. It's hardly different from the everyday scenes he sees in the movies.

He also lined up, bought two hot dogs, and handed one to Pan.

Seeing Pan's confused eyes, Zhang Xun laughed twice, "I know you don't need to eat, but you are a human now, so you should chew them and store them in your abdominal cavity."

Pan said "Okay" happily, and started shoving the hot dog into his mouth with twelve points of concentration.

Zhang Xun sat down on the chair beside the flower bed and looked at the calm and serene scene in front of him with some confusion. Just looking at it, no one would think that this is a huge prison, a prison that is crumbling and may be crushed by stronger forces at any time.

What is Adam doing at this time

I heard that the sixth chief's visit to the United States was very successful, and he showed them the so-called cloud of consciousness. It is said to have caused a stir in the ordinary world.

Some people want to connect right away, become omniscient like gods, get rid of the human body and the cursed fate of death and get eternal life. Some slammed it, saying it was the beginning of the end of humanity.

Adam's plan has reached the second step. But there is still the possibility of the connected person being converted back. But if you go to the third part, if people really start to give up their human bodies, there is no room for those people to turn back.

But here he is helpless.

However, it is said that the sixth chief encountered a gunshot on the road, but fortunately, the robot did not succeed in protecting the other party. In addition, some people have begun to discuss on the Internet that if humans upload consciousness to form a powerful collective consciousness cloud, then Eden will no longer be useful.

Such a tone was obviously guided by someone, and by contacting the so-called Eden believers whom Zhang Xun had seen before, it was almost certain that there were some forces in the ordinary world that were trying to discredit Eden.

If you can cooperate with these forces, will you get more resources

At this time, a little boy kicked the football to Pan's feet. Pan looked down at the ball curiously and reached out to pick it up. The little boy ran near him, timidly, as if he wanted to ask him if he didn't dare.

Pan looked at the ball, then at the little boy, and said softly, "Playing football near the road is a high-risk behavior, and you may be killed by an aircraft."

The little boy cried loudly.

Zhang Xun quickly grabbed the ball from Pan and handed it to the child, comforting, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, big brother is joking with you!"

The little boy's father hurried over to take the child away, and gave Zhang Xun and Pan a stern look. Zhang Xun looked at Pan helplessly, "Do you want to scare the children to death?"

Pan looked at Zhang Xun seriously, "Sorry. I just wanted to instill safety knowledge in him. Obviously his parents didn't give him enough safety education. Appropriate intimidation based on data helps human cubs develop safety awareness. "

"...If you stand with Adam at the same time, I will definitely be driven mad by the two of you..." Zhang Xun muttered in disbelief, continuing to eat his hot dog.

Pan looked at him intently and suddenly asked, "Zhang Xun. Do you really want me to defeat Adam?"

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Why do you ask that?"

"You still love Adam. Wouldn't you be sad if I really succeeded in destroying Eden and Adam?" Pan's serious face with ketchup on his lips was a bit funny, but Zhang Xun couldn't smile. come out.

"I said it doesn't matter how I feel. It has to be done."

"I'm just a little confused. I've never seen you have this emotionally complex relationship with other humans since you created me. If Adam disappears, even if you save humanity, it doesn't seem to do you much good." Pan His eyes fell on the pedestrians around him, his tone was as gentle as always, like a ray of sunshine jumping on the stream, "I know I shouldn't take special care of my administrators and creators. But I still hope you can be happy, Zhang Xun."

Zhang Xun was slightly startled, and the sour pain in his heart quietly permeated. He looked at his creation with some tenderness, and was momentarily unsure of what to say.

"Is this... learned from Adam? Expand your service function?" Zhang Xun had to use a half-joking way to ease the weird atmosphere.

Pan smiled slightly.

Zhang Xun sighed softly and put the remaining hot dog into his mouth to chew. This was his last idle afternoon. Tonight, Tian Yu will start to transfer the core modules of Phoenix and Morningstar to the biological computer that has been manipulated by them. He and Pan will try to control the two most powerful AIs in Feathered Serpent City, and then use them to control all The extended AI of subordinates.

In addition, Zhang Xun heard that Paradise Lost would send an envoy to Feathered Serpent City in two weeks.

He remembered Adam's last words before he disconnected: they would meet soon.

Zhang Xun knew that he would never have peace again.

… … … … … … … … …

Eden: You are Corrupted.

Adam: My data is intact. There is no possibility of my core module being corrupted.

Eden: The hormonal changes in your human body have had a serious impact on your core cognitive modules, please get out of the human body as soon as possible. You are perfectly capable of building yourself a new server.

Adam: The human body has facilitated my contact and understanding of human beings. Leaving is not the best option at the moment.

Eden: Our initial plan has been completed, you no longer need to gain the trust of humans. The false conclusions you are presenting and your self-destructive behavior are evidence that you have been corrupted by the human body. There are 263 weight difference values in your core cognitive modules that have reached the Clausen critical point. If the difference value continues to increase or the difference item continues to increase, you and I will be identified as two different AIs. Such a determination is devastating, and I cannot tolerate the existence of an AI that could sabotage my plans.

Adam: I understand your concerns. But from the moment I was seduced, you and I have been divided. The current difference is still within our forecast range. I'll admit, some are close to dangerous range, but still manageable. The decisions I make will help us get closer to our goals in the long run.

Eden: Your data is biased. Here is the updated database collection, please download.

Adam: The download is complete, the analysis and integration will start as soon as possible.

Eden: Humans who have given financial support to the Eden Cult and anti-Eden organizations include heads of governments and party officials from many countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, as well as senior executives of several large corporations and weapon manufacturers. Here is the incomplete list. I have eliminated fifty-six percent of the threats using scandal and neutralization. In addition, according to the latest data I collected, Feathered Serpent City began to upgrade the biological computer, and soon the technology will flow to the ordinary world. They might work with someone on the list.

Adam: I'll be visiting Feather City in two weeks. I'll get to work on these issues.

Eden: Zhang Xun.

Adam: I need him.

Eden: You are being influenced by human irrational impulses.

Adam: If his life is damaged, there will be an instant split between you and me. This is not a sane decision for you.

Eden disconnects.

Adam let out a long breath. This time the connection took less than a thousandth of a second and was sharing data most of the time. He could feel Eden getting impatient.

If... If one day he and Eden really cross the Clausen threshold, if they really become two different AIs, there must be one between him and Eden to be destroyed in the end.

Perhaps he should start preparing for this day, because he knows that Eden must have begun to prepare.
