The Mechanic - Chapter 32

[Chapter 32 The Fruit of Wisdom (10)]

Zhang Xun hurried to the headquarters with Adam and was immediately taken into the war room.

The light in the deep underground war room was dim, and the computers showed expressionless faces. The huge screen hanging in mid-air constantly displays the shield monitoring system and radar system in different areas of Paradise Lost, and there are countless monitors on all sides of the high wall to observe the enemy who may approach from any angle.

At a long wooden table illuminated by a huge chandelier overhead, a group of senior officers headed by Zhang Shuo lined up in turn. In addition, Zhang Xun saw Jabari and two other James players sitting on the outer chairs. They described them as embarrassed, with muddy faces, and there was blood on Jabari’s head.

Zhang Xun’s whole heart seemed to sink into the deepest trench.

Adam stood quietly behind Zhang Xun, his eyes calmly taking the gestures and expressions of everyone in the war room into his mind.

Sitting next to Zhang Shuo was General Wilson. He was the first to speak and said in a cold voice, “Mechanic Zhang, you must have heard about the return of the hunting group.”

Zhang Xun even forgot the etiquette. He asked eagerly, “Where’s James? What happened? Is it a mechanical soldier? Have you…have you activated…”

“Zhang Xun, calm down.” Zhang Shuo’s deep voice sounded, not in a hurry or slow, but still calm , “I came to you today, hoping to learn more from Adam.”

“Adam has always been with me, and he knows no more than us. If you think it’s Adam…”

“Mechanic!” Zhang Shuo’s voice became more severe, and Zhang Xun had to shut up.

General Wilson said slowly at this time, “The hunting group has indeed successfully avoided the search of the mechanical soldiers by relying on the technology provided by you and Adam. So we do not suspect that the disappearance of Captain James Kugel is related to Adam.”

Missing?

That is to say, it was not neutralized?

General Wilson looked at the three hunting regiments. Jabari opened his mouth and said, “We broke through the line of defense of the mechanical soldiers, arrived at Reindeer Bay, and connected with the arms dealer Red Lady as planned. Her goods are ready, but we didn’t expect that there are other people who want to buy those Arms.”

“Some other people?” a major general asked in confusion. “People from the ordinary world?”

Jabari shook his head, “No, they were men. And they came in very advanced military aircraft…all of them. Well-equipped, well-trained soldiers. But not Paradise Lost men.”

Not Paradise Lost men, but soldiers… Could there be other refugee settlements near Paradise Lost that they don’t know about?

Moreover, the aircraft is very easy to be discovered by Eden, but they dare to swagger to ride, which shows that their aircraft has extremely advanced stealth technology. Not only is the radar invisible, but even the naked eye can’t easily detect it, and the ear can’t hear the noise, so it is possible to avoid Eden’s ubiquitous eyes and ears.

Jabari continued, “The Red Duchess sits on the ground temporarily and raises the price, and whoever has the highest price can take the goods away. The other party is very generous, and the universal currency we bring is not enough. Negotiated and brought back some of the goods. But they didn’t agree. In a hurry, a young man in our team fired the shot. The other party’s weapons are far more advanced than ours, and they obviously have Eden’s bullet tracking technology. Three of us were seriously injured. , everyone was more or less lucky, the captain led those people away alone in order to cover our evacuation. We tried to go back to find him afterward, but the mechanical soldiers had already blocked the area.”

“The one who left the neutralizer. Effective distance, no one knows whether James is still alive now.” General Wilson shook his head regretfully, “But now it is more important to find out who those people are.”

“Will we send a search and rescue team?” Zhang Xun asked.

Zhang Shuo glanced at him with some sad eyes, “We will never send a search and rescue team for any missing hunter. So not this time.”

“But he may still be alive, or even in the hands of those people. If you find him, you can also find those men of unknown power.” Zhang Xun’s mind was racing, trying to find a way to convince them. He turned his head to look at Adam, “When you were Eden, how much did you know about other refugee countries?”

Adam said: “Except Paradise Lost. The refugee camp in the Middle East desert is poor and weak, rejecting new technologies, and in the After several failed terrorist attacks, it has been completely disintegrated by Eden. The refugee country in New Zealand has few signs of activity, and it seems that a self-sufficient social system has formed. The level of technology is not as advanced as yours, but it is widely used. Unlike here, all technology is in the labs and those institutes, and is controlled by a few elites. However, in recent years, several new refugee settlements have appeared in Central America, the Cyclades and Asia. Although large Some are just small villages, nowhere near the size of Paradise Lost, but some of them are organized financially and technically by anonymous agencies. Eden was trying to identify these agencies before I was kidnapped. Eden thinks some humans The government is secretly trying to snatch more control from it.”

In fact, Adam also revealed some pieces of this information to Zhang Xun. It is also mentioned in Zhang Xun’s weekly report to Zhang Shuo. But apparently this information has not been taken seriously until now.

The generals looked at each other. In order not to be manipulated by Eden over the years, Paradise Lost has kept its doors behind closed doors, so little is known about these changes.

If they are refugee countries at the same time, it should be a good opportunity for mutual support and reconciliation. How can the other party be embarrassed and lose paradise? What are the benefits of having a revenge with Paradise Lost?

On the other hand, if the governments of the ordinary world have also begun to distrust Eden, this may be an opportunity.

Zhang Shuo pressed the button of the tablet in front of him. Above the chandelier above his head, the hidden projector emitted a white-painted light, hitting the blank wall behind everyone. It was a view of the battle captured by a camera on Jabari’s helmet. The scene was chaotic, the camera shook violently, and everyone’s roars, gunshots, and some strange low-frequency vibration were mixed together. Apparently Jabari was shooting some silver people. Those people were all wrapped in a mirror-like and very light-looking suit. The beams from Paradise Lost’s laser gun and the physical bullets from the rifle could not penetrate the mirror-like material. The enemy raised their hand, and their hand changed shape rapidly, becoming some kind of streamlined weapon, aiming at the camera.

Zhang Xun heard James next to Jabari shouting, “Find cover! Quickly find cover!!”

Everyone rushed towards the nearest tree like crazy, and Jabari’s heavy breathing seemed to choke everyone’s throat. What happened next was somewhat difficult for everyone present to understand. They saw dazzling white light, a disturbing white light with a splitting headache. They heard someone screaming, and saw half of a soldier’s face, bloody, as if it had been melted by something hot.

The video cuts off here.

The place was silent.

After a while, Adam suddenly said, “These people have done a lot of mechanical modifications to themselves, and it is likely that they were intentionally, not replaced by prosthetic limbs after being injured. The battle uniforms they wear are Titanium’s last two years. The nano-skin suits developed by Titanium Company come from Eden, and each suit has a unique number, which corresponds to the identity of the suit owner. So I’m sure this suit is only sold to the United States and the UK And Germany. But a year or so before I was kidnapped, Titanium had a serious leak of secrets. A senior engineer and her male partner defected to a new refugee colony in Central America with the help of some insiders: Feathered Serpent So I’m about 70% sure that these people came from there.”

“Central America is so far from here, they must bypass the United States by sea, and it must be more than just buying arms.” Zhang Xun looked eagerly at the generals present, “Maybe they are still near us.”

“We can send a team of soldiers to track them,” said a major general named Shahrukh Kumar. “If they’re really staying near Paradise Lost, we must know what they’re doing.”

Wilson The general frowned his bushy gray eyebrows, “We don’t know anything about their technology and location. Now three of the team members are dying, and sending another team out is likely to attract the attention of the mechanical soldiers. After all, according to Jabari, the mechanical The soldiers have already discovered the traces of the firefight that took place in Reindeer Bay. Besides, maybe they have left.”

“But we have Adam, which is equivalent to knowing all their skills. The last time was because we were unprepared and were suppressed by the other party. This time we can at least prepare ourselves with equipment and psychology.”

An admiral said coldly, “How can you be sure that Adam really told you all the information he knew?”

Zhang Xun was about to refute, Zhang Shuo He raised his hand to stop him from speaking. The commander looked around the crowd and said in a deep voice, “We will never tolerate allowing suspicious persons with unknown purposes and certain hostility to operate around Paradise Lost. Although Paradise Lost has just been hit by a major air strike, it must not be tolerated. Therefore, I lost the courage to defend my homeland.”

Several generals either nodded or agreed silently. Only General Wilson was still worried, “If we want to find them, we must act immediately. Where do we have time to prepare enough new suits and weapons? Besides, they are immune to our weapons, don’t we have no room to fight back?”

“Although Immune to physical attacks, but that protective suit can’t protect against sounds.” Adam interjected, looking at Zhang Xun with a smile, “The sound of the second protection system A Xun designed for Lab will be a good weapon.”

All eyes suddenly It fell on Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun was a little surprised, hesitated for a while, and said, “You can really consider weaponizing that kind of sound.”

“In addition, their suits and modified robotic arms are Titanium’s technology, and Eden has left a loophole for all Titanium’s technology. Because Eden does not trust human beings with perfect technology, it believes that humans will abuse it. All the technology and power.” Adam continued to speak in a sweet and clear voice, without feeling how ironic what he said.

Humans created gods with technology, but gods refused to believe in humans.

“A loophole? What loophole?” Zhang Shuo asked.

“That’s too complicated, so none of Titanium’s senior engineers found out. Simply put, as long as I’m within a certain distance, I can use the electromagnetic wave signal to jam their weapons.” Adam smiled politely at the crowd, “So, if If you are willing to bring my mechanic and me, there is a high probability that I will be able to help you.”
