Chapter 40: Wilderness (8)

Views:

After Zhang Xun and Ganon were pushed into an iron door, they saw a bruised man sitting against the wall in the primitive cell, with his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or in a coma.

But Zhang Xun recognized it at a glance, it was James.

Zhang Xun rushed over immediately, first sniffing the other side's breath. Although the breath is weak, it really carries the heat of life. Zhang Xun let out a long breath, and a layer of cold sweat was already on his forehead. He reached out and patted James' cheek lightly, "Jammie? Jamie?"

James' eyelids twitched laboriously, as if stuck with endless exhaustion. One of his eyes was too swollen to open, and only the other was barely open. Seeing Zhang Xun's face with bruises on his cheeks in a trance, James wasn't sure if he was dreaming for a while.

"Ah... A Xun?"

Zhang Xun finally burst out laughing, a kind of laugh that was almost relieved when a big rock fell to the ground.

Great that he wasn't late...

But James woke up suddenly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Xun's shoulder tightly, "A Xun?! Why are you here?!"

Cannon stood aside, folded his arms and said coldly, "Let's investigate the people in Feathered Serpent City and rescue you by the way. But now it looks like we're going to die here together."

James was shocked, "But how did Zhang Xun come with him?! Where's Adam? You won't bring Adam with you?!"

"I'm afraid that artificial intelligence is now being treated as a guest by Feather Snake City." Ganon said, with anger and disappointment flashing in his eyes, staring at Zhang Xun, "Aren't you very capable? You can't control it. His? Now it looks like you're just talking big."

Zhang Xun did not respond to his accusation, and asked James in a low voice, "How is your injury?"

"I'm okay, these injuries look scary, but they are actually skin injuries, which have begun to heal." James did not mention that the torture methods of the Feathered Snake City people often use a kind of hormone imbalance in the body. Most of the trauma caused by fear drugs is on the spiritual level. He looked at the bruises on Zhang Xun's cheeks, with angry flames flashing in his eyes, "Did they torture you too?"

"No." Zhang Xun replied simply, "At least not yet."

"These psychopathic bastards..." James cursed in a low voice, as if afraid of being heard. Zhang Xun realized that he saw fear and fear in the eyes of James, who was always fearless.

He was worried.

"Adam has betrayed." Cannon said, "I think this group of Feathered Serpent City people will fall into the hands of that AI sooner or later. It has calculated everything from the beginning. Mechanic, I said, don't you install anything? Remote control the mechanism that made his brain explode? I don't believe you only have a collar as a protection."

Zhang Xun said calmly, "Even if we kill Adam now, we won't be able to escape."

"That would have to drag him to hell!"

"Let's not talk about whether we humans have souls." Zhang Xun turned his head and looked at Ganon with calm and maddening eyes, "Do you think AI will have the concept of going to hell?"

"Don't gossip with me! Is there anything you can do?! You claim to be the best mechanic in Paradise Lost, why don't you even take this precaution?!" Cannon suddenly strode forward and grabbed Zhang Xun's The collar almost lifted him up, "Or are you simply brainwashed and controlled by him? Are you and him in a group?!"

"Cannon! Calm down." James stood up against the wall and put his hand on Cannon's wrist. "You said Adam rebelled, what happened?"

So Cannon recounted the situation in which Adam suddenly appeared outside and told everything. The more James listened, the more frightened he became. He looked at Zhang Xun for a while, "Really?"

Zhang Xun did not speak.

"But... what's wrong..." James shook his head inexplicably. "If he planned even the seance plan, then it would be easy for him to destroy Paradise Lost. Why waste such a big deal?"

"Adam doesn't hate men." Zhang Xun finally said, "He has just been faithfully implementing his original goal."

"Listen, listen! I knew this shitty mechanic had been brainwashed long ago! They shouldn't let him tame Adam, look at how weak he looks!"

Cannon's words full of scorn and anger fell in Zhang Xun's ears. It didn't seem to cause any turbulence, but it actually made things worse in Zhang Xun's heart.

He wanted to believe Adam, but what if that was true

He had never known to believe that so much effort was required. He had to press the necklace on his chest with his hand to regain some strength.

At this moment, James let out a distinct sound of gasping for air, and the place where his abdomen was kicked when he stood up just now felt heartbroken again. Zhang Xun hurriedly supported him, took off his coat and remained on the ground, and helped James to sit back. James suddenly grabbed Zhang Xun's arm tightly and whispered, "Xun, didn't you say you installed a standby program for Adam? You didn't use it, is there any reason?"

Zhang Xun glanced at James, and without answering, James vaguely understood something.

I don't know how long I was locked in the cell, a groove on the middle iron door opened, and someone pushed three plates of meals in. But none of the three of them touched the food because they were worried about some strange drug being put in the food. Later, I was hungry, my mouth was dry and thirsty, and my mind began to groan from exhaustion. When Zhang Xun leaned against the wall and gradually slipped into an inadvertently stable dream, the closed cell door was suddenly opened.

In a daze, Zhang Xun felt that two pairs of rude and rude hands pulled him away. He was forcibly stripped from the dream, and he couldn't understand the situation for a while, only to hear James' angry shout, "What are you doing! Let go of him! What's coming at me!"

Immediately followed by a groan, a strong Feathered Serpent City soldier kicked James down. Another soldier's right arm instantly transformed into a huge laser gun, pointing in the direction of Cannon and James.

"Be honest! Do you think you've been beaten enough?" the soldier threatened.

When Zhang Xun was dragged out of the cell, he only had time to turn around and shout to James, "It's alright!"

He was held by several soldiers and passed through several other similar cells. The small windows on the iron gate were all closed, but He Yuxin and Jabari were mostly locked in a few of these cells. Although it is a temporary base with exposed steel everywhere, the entire corridor is clean and bright, without any blind spots or redundant things, it is obviously carefully designed.

"Where are you taking me?" Zhang Xun asked.

No one answered him.

He was taken into the elevator, and then into the vast underground space he had seen before, only this time on a mid-air suspension ladder made of steel bars and iron plates. Zhang Xun noticed that the mechas and those strangely shaped aircraft were still sleeping on several runways, but the staff was much less.

He was taken into a brightly lit room full of screens and consoles, roughly the command room here. The soldiers forced him to sit on a chair, locked his hands and feet with handcuffs, took a few steps back, and stood aside.

After a while, several people entered the room. Zhang Xun saw Adam walking in the middle at a glance.

Adam had changed out of Paradise Lost's battle uniform at this time, and put on a neat white Feathered Serpent City officer uniform. His gait was calm and perfect, and his eyes were indifferent like a smile, as if he had never known Zhang Xun before.

The first thing was General Muluk, and there were three other people, both of whom were probably the generals of Feather Serpent City who participated in this secret operation, and a man who looked a bit like a mechanic.

These people sat down on the chairs opposite Zhang Xun, and looked over with their eyes. Zhang Xun immediately felt as if some kind of item was on sale.

"You are Zhang Xun, the ultimate executor of the seance plan," said the mechanic-like man in a white coat, "very admirable design and courage. You are the first person in the world to be able to handle humans and machines. Someone who does this level of integration.”

Zhang Xun was stunned. He was ready to be severely tortured. Why did he suddenly start praising him

Zhang Xun, who was inadvertently used to being praised by strangers, replied a little embarrassedly, "Uh... Thank you?"

Adam looked at him with a smile, even a little proud.

Muluk said, "I heard that you haven't received the respect you deserve in Paradise Lost, and someone has even been trying to sabotage your seance plan?"

Zhang Xun glanced at Adam and said, "It's not about sabotage. It's just daily supervision."

"Really? I heard how many times your round table wanted to replace you?"

"… "

Muluk cleared his throat a little and continued, "I won't talk nonsense anymore. Feathered Serpent City needs talents like you. If you immigrate to Feathered Serpent City, we will do our best to provide you with any materials you need. to help you with your research."

Zhang Xun's brows furrowed, this is what Adam proposed

Let him join Feathered Serpent City

What are you doing? Adam knew that he couldn't agree.

"Thank you for your appreciation and kindness, but I'm sorry, I can't agree." Zhang Xun replied clearly.

"Why? Because your father is the commander of Paradise Lost?" the mechanic asked.

Was it necessary for Adam to even tell them this? !

Zhang Xun glared at Adam and replied, "Even if he is not, I will not join the enemy."

"You are wrong, we are not your enemies. We just want to live." Feathered Serpent City mechanic said, "How far can you go in the way you are now? If Eden completely blocks you and you cannot go out Hunt, and your food will run out within three months. If Eden hadn't left us a way to live, we wouldn't have survived until now."

"So you say that you are a refugee country on the surface, but are you actually doing things for Eden?" Zhang Xun gradually understood, "What does Eden ask you to do for him?"

"Let them take you and me out of Paradise Lost. After all, after the last bombing, Eden doesn't want to add more casualties to the ordinary world." Adam finally spoke. He leaned back on the chair, folded his legs and put his hands on his legs, with a calm expression, "My investigation into Paradise Lost has ended, and you are the only one worthy of me to take out of Paradise Lost."

Zhang Xun looked at him quietly, then turned his head and looked around at everyone in the room. Then, his eyes dropped, his shoulders began to shake.

He started laughing.

"Adam, why is this? You learn to be a human being, and you learn it so fast. Even people's hypocrisy is so similar." Zhang Xun raised his head, his eyes were frozen, "You didn't want to take me away at all. You are Afraid, I will activate the thing on your forehead."

There was a subtle change in the atmosphere in the room, the soothing relief that had been decorated just now was gradually tightened.

Adam also had no intention of flinching, staring at Zhang Xun tit for tat. He slowly stood up and walked towards Zhang Xun, and the latter had to raise his head to maintain the confrontation in his eyes.

But this kind of disadvantage at a low position can't be suppressed by the momentum of the forced installation.

"Hehehe..." Zhang Xun never knew that Adam could laugh like this... Evil, "Do you really think I can't crack your encryption method?" Adam reached out and touched the diamond-shaped device on his forehead.

"If that's the case, what are you waiting for?" Zhang Xun also smiled, a sneer that didn't reach the corner of his eyes, "Take it off? Or are you afraid that I have other tricks? After all, you are now Mortal fetuses have nothing when they die." After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Muluk and the others, "You actually cooperated with the culprit who persecuted you to this point, and instead framed your brother city-state... You fools who bully the soft and fear the hard!"

It seems that Zhang Xun used the word "wonder" for the first time. The moment I said it, I felt really cool, no wonder those soldiers liked to use this word to scold people...

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came over and pressed something cold to his neck. In the next instant, an ice-like electric current passed through his body. He screamed, and the muscles all over his body began to spasm and twitch, and the pain was excruciating, as if his entire body was about to twitch. But the shackles of his hands and feet restricted his movement, and he was writhing on the chair like a dehydrated fish...

Fortunately, the soldier's electric shocker wasn't tuned very high, and after a few seconds of extreme pain, he finally caught his breath. Rao is so, he is also very embarrassed, uncontrollable tears and snot overflowing.

During the whole process, Adam stood beside him without even blinking his eyes.

Zhang Xun felt a chill and pain spread in his chest.

He remembered that he had also told Adam that if he had tasted electric shocks, he would never have offered to give out collar controllers to every team member.

Unexpectedly, the first person to experience the electric shock was himself...

"I don't think it's a good idea, soldier." Adam Shishiran said, "The mechanic has implanted some controllers and trackers into his own body. If your current accidentally triggers some unknown function , it will bring me a lot of risk.”

The soldier immediately showed fear, "I'm sorry..."

Zhang Xun was panting heavily, his body still shaking uncontrollably. He felt Adam's hand lightly fall on his neck, causing him to shiver hard.

The hand slid lightly down the back of his head, resting on the top of his hair, along his neck.

"My dear mechanic, you don't want to go to Feathered Serpent City, and I'm not reluctant. However, I need you to help me with one thing. After this thing is completed, I can let you and your companions leave, absolutely not Embarrass you."

Zhang Xun raised his head and looked into Adam's eyes.

At this moment, Adam's eyes seem to return to the way he was in the Lab, he is as sincere and gentle as a child.

Is this sentence true or false

Should he go along with this sentence or continue to play his role as he would rather die

Could it be that he was always the only one who thought it was a play, and Adam was watching his good play

Zhang Xun was not sure, never was sure, so he could only ask by feeling, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's your serenity. Only you have the ability to help me 'Nirvana'." Adam said, his eyes turned to the huge screen wall on the right, "The people in Feathered Serpent City have newly developed servers, which are very small in size. Easy to transport. I want you to help me upload my core modules and database back to the cloud."
