The other team members seemed to have done the same thing as Adam Zhang Xun, dodged to several other mines, turned off the flashlights, and waited for the mechanical monster with claws to patrol in horror. The monster probably sensed the sound before, but could not find the source of the sound. It roamed back and forth in the mine, and a row of millipede-like mechanical legs that danced constantly fell on the ground, making a scalp-numbing dab dab.
The too weird and evil shape of the mechanical monster, the disgusting red light diffused, the strange electric sound with psychological suggestion and the sound of footsteps, all together are enough to stimulate the primitive human instinct of fear of danger. Some older hunters were able to suppress the fear, but the young red-haired hunter was clearly starting to panic. When the mechanical monster swerved into the fork where he was hiding, he messed up the pins and started running away desperately.
The sound of footsteps was immediately caught by Eden's "Mechanical Dog", and its tentacles that stretched and swayed suddenly all rushed in the same direction, and the uncomfortable red light began to flicker rhythmically. A piercing alarm sounded. It began to gallop, and its countless legs seemed to float across the ground at a terrifyingly fast speed. It only took a moment for Zhang Xun and Adam to hear the terrified screams of the youth.
In the dark, the two of them did not need words, and rushed to the mine tunnel where the screams came from. Adam turned on the lights, and the beams ripped through the darkness, shining on the wicked mass of metal not far away.
At a glance, the young man seemed to be suspended in the air. But after a closer look, he found that his shoulders, waist, and thighs had all been penetrated by the tentacles of the mechanical monster. The blood damaged the battle uniform on the body, and the invisibility effect disappeared, revealing the cloth that was stained with blood.
"Let him go!" another hunter roared, firing his gun at the mechanical monster. But the bullets landed on the mechanical dog, and the sparks bounced off one after another.
The other tentacles of the mechanical monster turned to the other people, and the red light on the top of the tentacles became more and more fiery. Adam immediately shouted, "Get down!"
As soon as the words fell, the red light burst and rushed towards all of them.
Under Adam's warning, the crowd fell. The red light hit the rock wall without making any sound. However, after the momentary light dissipated, an extremely smooth and rounded depression appeared on the rock wall several meters deep. It was as if a whole piece of earth was silently vaporizing, leaving countless scattered smoke and dust.
Such a thing hits a person, I am afraid that there is no time to feel the pain and the bones will be gone.
Zhang Xun broke out in a cold sweat, and no matter how many times he repeated the experience of passing by the god of death, he couldn't get used to it. Especially with such an efficient and ruthless killing.
The mechanical dog again aimed at them with those tentacles. Obviously it only intends to catch one alive, and the rest will be executed immediately.
At this time, Adam suddenly opened his mouth and shouted a long series of strange and obscure garbled language. His speech was so fast that he didn't even have a break or a chance to breathe, but his articulation was exceptionally clear, and every tricky syllable could be accurately expressed through the coordination of his tongue, lips, teeth and vocal cords, almost as if he were chanting a spell.
Zhang Xun immediately recognized that this was the language of AI.
Strange things happened. The red light on the top of the tentacles of the mechanical dog that was about to launch the second wave of attacks suddenly dimmed. All tentacle waving stopped, and it stood motionless, seemingly confused.
Adam continued to speak words that could only be understood between Ai and Ai. His blue eyes seemed to transmit complex thoughts that human beings could not read, showing a kind of alienation and remoteness beyond the world. The body of the mechanical dog began to tremble, and the sound of electric current and metal friction from the body became louder and louder, which was somewhat like the noise produced by the CPU overheating. It trembled more and more violently, and then suddenly, everything was quiet.
The mechanical dog freezes in place.
"Quick! Save people!" Adam shouted to Cannon and the others, "I used this mechanical dog's program loophole to disrupt its running framework, creating an infinite loop to temporarily overload and freeze it, but there may be only one It will restart itself in minutes."
Everyone was stunned. Who would have thought that they could modify the code of a killing machine by talking? !
But without any hesitation, the uninjured people rushed over to rescue the seriously injured young man who was on the verge of coma. But at this time, Zhang Xun heard the familiar rattling and metal friction again.
"There are more coming! We have to retreat!" Zhang Xun said to Cannon in panic.
But Cannon looked out of the mine and whispered, "It's too late."
Where they came from, a red light and shadow had already appeared. They were blocked.
Maybe this is indeed a trap...
Looking at the lightly injured two people and the seriously injured red-haired youth, Cannon immediately ordered, "We have to flee deeper."
In the dark cave, the air is humid and sultry. Zhang Xun only felt that the clothes inside the battle uniform were completely soaked in sweat, his legs were out of his will and he kept moving, and his throat was filled with a unique smell after running for a long time. They didn't dare to turn on too many flashlights, they could only chase the light in Ganon's hand at the front and stumbled. As long as you see a fork in the road, you can choose a random one to get in, hoping to get rid of the ominous metal friction that is chasing after you.
This mine is extremely intricate, like a huge maze in the mountains. All the pits look alike, littered with tools long forgotten and corpses buried in black stone. They gradually lost their way, did not know where they were, and were not sure which way they had traveled. The red light of death flashed around every corner, and there were echoes of metal friction everywhere, and the hollow mountainside amplified all the sounds infinitely, as if they were everywhere.
Even Adam didn't have time to use the previous method to kill all the mechanical dogs, and they could only flee in embarrassment. Gradually, under the siege and interception of those metal monsters, people began to disperse, and there were fewer and fewer people in the team.
Finally, after being chased away for the last time by the three mechanical dogs that suddenly rushed out of the sky, Zhang Xun sat awkwardly on the gravel blocked at the end of the mine tunnel, and found that he and Adam were the only ones left.
He felt like he couldn't move a step, there was darkness everywhere, endless darkness and rocks, and that ominous red light. He took off his helmet and remained on the ground, knowing that the thing was useless. His tablet broke while fleeing, and the bugs were found and destroyed by the mechanical dog. Behind them were the collapsed mines, and in front of them were endless darkness and an underground labyrinth with no way out. They were completely trapped.
Zhang Xun wiped the sweat from his eyes in frustration, trying to recall the road they had just walked. But his mind was a mess, and he couldn't calm down at all.
Is he going to die here
After the most primitive fear of death has reached a certain level, the mind becomes numb, and it is not so afraid. Although he still has so many things he wants to do that he hasn't done, and so many places he wants to go he hasn't been to... But when the time comes, what can you do
He looked up to see Adam leaning against the damp rock wall, also sweating and exhausted, with only one thought in his mind: If he was going to die, he must not let Adam fall into the hands of these people. Thinking like this, he touched the last line of defense that was implanted under the skin of his left arm...
Adam was created by him, by himself. No one can take it away.
At least they can die together...
Adam looked at Zhang Xun, saw that he was looking at him, and saw that his eyes condensed a little bit, becoming strangely eager, even with a hint of paranoia.
Adam inexplicably liked this look.
"Xun, don't worry, the water here is so deep, and there are signs of collapse in many places ahead. It is estimated that there have been serious landslides or explosions. It has been at least a hundred years and no one has come. We are still safe. of."
"If other people are caught, they will definitely come to us. To be precise, they will come to you. I am almost certain now that they are coming for you." Zhang Xun stared at Adam, with a low voice The voice said harshly, "But I will never give you to them."
Some kind of threat implied in the words was clear.
Adam smiled softly. He turned around and crouched down in front of Zhang Xun, his blue eyes fixed on him. With the light of the flashlight, Zhang Xun could see his own reflection in those beautiful eyes.
"I'm glad you think so." Adam said, hooking Zhang Xun's forefinger with his index finger, shaking lightly like a playful, "But things aren't that bad."
"We don't have any weapons on us, how can we deal with so many monsters outside?"
"Why don't you have a weapon?" Adam grabbed Zhang Xun's hand and pointed to himself, "I am your weapon."
Zhang Xun frowned, looking at Adam unsure.
"I think, I have a way to get us out, get us all, including James. But there is a necessary precondition." Adam stretched out his hand and touched Zhang Xun's chest through the battle suit. The pendant that was never taken off also felt Zhang Xun's heartbeat, "You must believe me."
"...You know I can't..." Zhang Xun said with difficulty. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he knows how uncontrollable AI will be. He must be vigilant and introspective at all times, and keep a distance at all times, so as not to be swallowed by technology.
Adam was neither angry nor sad, he still held Zhang Xun's hand, but lowered his head and gently kissed the back of his hand, "I know, so I just ask you to believe me here. Believe me absolutely. ."
Zhang Xun felt as if the skin on his hand was scalded, but he didn't pull his hand away. Adam clearly understands the impact of these small actions on himself, and the more he reacts, the more feedback he will get "this action is useful". On the other hand, on the more instinctive side of him, his heart beat faster and his pupils dilated because of such a touch.
AIs will not have the same emotions as humans because they are not of nature, have no bodies, have no changes in hormone levels, and have not evolved the need for emotions. So what about an AI with a human body and metabolism
Can pure reason give birth to impulses and feelings that are no longer rational on the basis of having enough "hardware"
Such conjectures are the basis of the entire seance plan. Zhang Xun wanted to believe it from the beginning, otherwise he would not have become the key executor of the seance plan in the later stage.
Now, if they never get out again, if the worst outcome is that they die together, what are the consequences of believing
So Zhang Xun took a deep breath and nodded lightly.
"Okay, just here, I absolutely trust you."
