Zhang Xun sat on the chair with blood all over his face. He only grabbed the blanket that was draped over his shoulders, but his body was still shaking uncontrollably.
He couldn't hear what other people were saying to him. All that remained in his mind was Adam's screams, the horrific scenes of blood and flesh splattering, and the stench of rot in the air. He looked down at his hand, which was also stained with blood, trembling, and the fiery temperature of the blood remained on his skin.
The whole process was very chaotic and out of control. Zhang Xun couldn't hold Adam down with all his strength. In the end, James knocked Adam unconscious, and he cut off Adam's left arm before the terrifying mutation spread to his shoulders. Almost at the moment when the bones were broken, the broken arm suddenly slammed into pieces, and the broken bones were faintly visible. If he was a few seconds later, this unknown mutation would erode Adam's central nervous system, and I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to save it...
How he stopped Adam's bleeding, how he got into a Feathered Serpent City aircraft with the others, and how he returned to Paradise Lost, was all a blur in his mind. He remembered that the gates of Paradise Lost opened in front of them, and many people rushed to them, but he kept saying, "Save him... save him..."
Adam was taken to first aid and he was taken to this place. Because the round table wants to hear his report. But he couldn't report at all, he couldn't even stop the shaking of his body, and couldn't dispel the scream in his head that made his blood freeze.
Adam was there to save him.
Adam had just woken up, and his first reaction was to save him.
And he cut off Adam's arm...
The door to the room opened, and he looked up, surprised to see James walk in. He has changed into new clothes, and the wound on his face has been covered with medicated gauze. Only one eye is left looking at him with concern and sadness.
Zhang Xun hurriedly asked, "Where's Adam?"
"He lost a lot of blood, but he is out of danger now. Don't worry." James sat down on the chair opposite him, "The life science department analyzed the sample of Adam's arm we brought back and found that the people in Feathered Serpent City developed a A biochemical weapon at the atomic level, as long as it touches a little, your cells will be rapidly decomposed and infected, disintegrating the structure between cells, which is a deadly weapon. But you act in time, and other parts of Adam's body do not find that toxin ."
Zhang Xun shook his right foot anxiously and muttered, "I want to see him."
"Xun, they want to ask you some questions, you have to answer them before they can let you go." James said to him slowly and patiently, "so, you have to cheer up. Put you and Adam's plan told them in detail."
Zhang Xun took a deep breath, took a long breath, and forced himself to repeat this action, so that his out-of-control brain could find a trace of order. He knew that what James said was right. They went out this time not only without casualties, but also brought back the missing James, destroyed the secret base of Feathered Serpent City, and even seized so many of their weapons and materials, and brought back a prisoner. I am afraid that such a victory has not been achieved in the past ten years except for the seance plan. The round table cannot be taken carelessly.
Hearing that Adam was out of danger, he finally regained some self-control and sanity. James looked up at this time, facing the direction of the one-way mirror, his eyes were filled with smoldering anger, "I said, you should give him a clean suit and let him take a bath! He is not a prisoner!"
Not long after, a clerk came in and motioned Zhang Xun to go out with him.
Zhang Xun was washing his body in the bathroom of the outpost camp in the first district, watching Adam's blood melt into the water and gather into a reddish vortex under his feet. The warm water calmed his tense mind, but it couldn't take away the dull pain and thick self-loathing in his chest. He changed into a clean mechanic uniform to look clean and decent. He still has a battle to fight.
Three officers and two mechanics were sent to question him. They inquired carefully about their day-to-day itinerary, every decision they made, and all of Adam's actions. He told in detail how he ordered Adam to pretend to "betray" them, how he arranged for Adam to invade the system of Feathered Serpent City during the upload of consciousness, and explained in detail how Muluk captured Adam to complete the download and lost his opponent. The moment the Snake City system was controlled, they plotted against them. How did he make the decision to cut off Adam's arm.
He said everything under control, as if everything was always under his control, and he never had any doubts. He knew this was the answer the Round Table wanted right now.
Repeated interrogation, interrogation from all angles, is like interrogating a prisoner. After about twelve hours, they finally closed the record in front of him with satisfaction and allowed Zhang Xun to leave.
It was one o'clock in the middle of the night when Zhang Xun came out of the military camp. He didn't stop and rushed directly to the No. 1 Hospital in the middle of District 1.
The visit time had long passed, but the nurse on duty was instructed and did not stop him.
Adam was placed in a single ward, with two guard soldiers watching at the door. When they saw Zhang Xun, they all nodded slightly to him. Zhang Xun was slightly surprised by such a change in attitude. He put his hand on the door handle of the ward, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the door slightly.
In the room soaked by moonlight, Adam was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. The quilt was pulled all the way to his shoulders, and the left shoulder, which was missing an arm, could not be seen.
Zhang Xun quietly closed the door and moved to Adam's bedside like a weightless shadow. He knelt down and looked at Adam's face seriously, looking at his bloodless lips, only to feel a burst of soreness in his nose, which he could barely hold back.
He had been wondering whether Adam really had feelings. But that kind of close conditioned reflex, will it lie
Violating his own survival instinct, come to save him... Even if he is himself, can he do this for anyone
In Zhang Xun's life, no one has ever valued him so much. But he pushed Adam into danger time and time again.
Zhang Xun had never hated himself so much.
But at this moment, Adam seemed to sense the existence of another human being in the room, frowned slightly, and opened his eyelids hesitantly. In the beginning, it was just a gap, and gradually the eyelashes grew wider and wider.
Zhang Xun saw that, almost wanting to thank the God he never believed in, there was a trembling voice in his throat, "Adam?"
"Axun..." Adam's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't drank water in a hundred years. He coughed a few times and said, "thirsty..."
Zhang Xun saw that there was a glass of water on the bedside table, and hurriedly brought it over. He held Adam's back with the other hand and helped him straighten up a little. The sheet slipped down, revealing his mutilated left arm. Zhang Xun couldn't bear to look at it any longer, but just let Adam lean on his shoulder and put the water glass to Adam's lips.
Adam swallowed greedily with his hands, draining the entire glass of water in one breath.
Zhang Xun looked down at Adam's profile and asked softly, "Do you still want it?"
"No need." Adam frowned and looked down at his left hand, but his expression was unexpectedly calm, but he frowned slightly unhappily.
Zhang Xun hurriedly asked, "Does the wound hurt?"
"They gave me anesthesia." Adam said in a tone like talking about the weather, "It's a pity..."
"Don't be afraid. I will make you the best prosthetic limb, with enough sensors, you won't feel any difference between your left hand and before, maybe even better." Zhang Xun promised in dry language, but I feel so despicable for my promise.
Adam sat up straight, turned his head to look at him, his eyes were deep, like a deep pool rippling under the moonlight, "It's a pity that I can't touch you with human hands in the future."
Zhang Xun stared at him blankly, his mind blank for a while, unable to speak.
Adam suddenly smiled, the smile was the same as before, sincere and gentle, "A Xun, don't be sad. I don't feel any more pain."
As soon as he said these words, Zhang Xun suddenly turned his back to prevent Adam from seeing his gaffe expression. He took a deep breath, trying to regain his self-control, but found that this time, he couldn't find it no matter what.
A metal arm rested quietly on his shoulder, and Adam whispered, "Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. I'm glad you're all right, I'd rather it be me than you." He paused and continued, "If it were you, I don't know what I would have done."
Zhang Xun wiped his face with his hands fiercely, then turned around and hugged Adam suddenly.
Adam froze for a while, then smiled happily, and put the mechanical right hand on Zhang Xun's back.
"This hand, this life, I owe you." Zhang Xun whispered in his ear, his voice was soft, but his oath was heavy, "I will definitely repair you, and I will make you better than before. Perfect."
… … … … … … … … …
When Adam was hospitalized, Zhang Xun hardly left the hospital. Fortunately, Fernandez and James came here a few times, bringing him and Adam a change of clothes and daily necessities.
From James, Zhang Xun learned that most of the hunters who went out with them had recovered and were discharged from the hospital, and he felt a lot more at ease. The materials and equipment brought back from Feathered Serpent City were distributed to various relevant departments for dismantling research, and most of them were sent to the Lab. Fernandez was so excited that he didn't sleep for several days. He was amazed at the genius designs beyond human imagination. He was so excited when he told Zhang Xun, he didn't realize that the original authors of the designs and programs were smiling on the hospital bed. Looking at him, as if looking at an ignorant child...
Zhang Xun simply suspected that Fernandez was looking for excuses all day to come here to look at Adam more, and it was best to catch up with a few words...
"Okay, it's time for you to go back." Zhang Xun coldly ordered the eviction, "Adam needs to rest."
Fernandez reluctantly wanted to continue asking Adam a few questions, but Zhang Xun pulled him out by the collar. When Zhang Xun came back, seeing Adam in a good mood, he laughed a few times, "Aren't you proud to hear others praise your work?"
"Is this feeling like being proud?" Adam suddenly realized, then nodded, "I like this feeling."
"You'd better be careful, you'll get beaten if you keep looking complacent," Zhang Xun said half-jokingly, and continued to pack Adam's clothes. Just now the doctor came to check on Adam's wound healing and said that he could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
Zhang Xun put all the clothes into a hand-held cowhide suitcase, and then picked up his tablet, which showed the design of his latest version of the robotic arm.
No, it's still not good enough, not enough to satisfy him.
For so many days, he has drawn more than a dozen versions of the design, all of which are not good enough. With a low sigh, he put the tablet into the box as well.
The next day, Zhang Xun helped Adam put on the lab researcher's dark yellow stand-up collar uniform and prepared to take him out of the hospital and back to the Lab. Adam suddenly said, "Xun, I think your intimacy with me has increased."
Zhang Xun stumbled under his feet and turned his head in embarrassment, "What are you randomly measuring again?"
Adam just smiled brightly and shrugged, "Nothing. I'm just happy."
Zhang Xun shook his head helplessly and opened the door of the ward.
But when they walked to the door of the hospital, they were stunned.
A large group of people, a large group of ordinary people, burst into deafening cheers the moment they saw them.
Headed by the family members of those hunters. They obviously already knew the fact that Adam had saved them all, and they all huddled up and tried to shove the gifts in their hands. Zhang Xun and Adam had never received such an overly warm welcome, and their minds were dumbfounded. In the end, James, who came to pick them up in a jeep, pushed aside the crowd and "rescued" them.
Adam sat in the car and looked at the smiling faces outside the car window. Paradise Lost's hostility towards him was significantly reduced after this action, and his favorability increased significantly. Zhang Xun finally began to believe him.
What a good result. Adam's mouth curved upward slightly.
