The Mechanic - Chapter 38

[Chapter 38 Wilderness (6)]

Zhang Xun and Adam waited in the abandoned mine for about two hours before carefully squeezing through a crevice in the collapsed rock into a nearby mine.

Those Feathered Serpent City mechanical dogs have disappeared, and the entire mine tunnel is pitch-dark, with only the occasional sound of dripping water, as if no one has been seen for a long time.

The light of the flashlight could only tear apart the limited darkness in front of him. Zhang Xun followed Adam and turned into a fork in the road again, and then turned several times. When they escaped, they were forced into chaos. Zhang Xun had long forgotten which paths they had taken, but Adam clearly remembered them clearly. As long as he walks through it once, the structural map of the underground mine in his database will naturally unfold, and will never be erased. This is beyond the reach of the human brain.

Never forget any details, all memories, good or bad, can be recalled at any time.

Adam roughly calculated the possible location of the entrance to the Feathered Serpent City’s base based on the distribution of mechanical dogs. There are three possibilities, and they need to be verified one by one.

“Based on the positions of the robotic dogs we encountered two hours ago, their current position can be roughly calculated based on their patrol algorithm. The closest robotic dog to us is about twenty to the right of the horizontal tunnel ahead of us. At 50 meters, the direction of movement is to the left, but after passing our fork, it will turn back after about 20 meters, and then it will turn back after another 150 meters. We will After it turns back, it slips into the tunnel on the left. It’s better to take off your boots, so that you can’t make any noise.”

Sometimes Adam would come over, sticking to Zhang Xun’s ear and detailing his every step plan. Zhang Xun also, as he had promised, completely believed in Adam, absolutely acted according to Adam’s instructions, and indeed managed to avoid at least five patrolling mechanical dogs. The two passed through the long tunnel like shadows, holding their breath, sometimes Adam would stop to let Zhang Xun catch his breath.

Apparently, Adam had already calculated the interval Zhang Xun needed to rest in his plan.

Luckily for them, after ruling out one guessed location, at a second location, a sloping mine tunnel, they found a metal cover with a fingerprint lock on it.

Adam activates the option to enter a password, and then quickly enters a long, seemingly incoherent 60-letter password. Obviously that is the key that Eden left in all the combination locks produced in these post-Eden times, and there is no omnipotent key that humans can crack. Sure enough, the combination lock turned green silently, and the metal door quickly opened to both sides, revealing a ladder extending into the darkness.

Adam went down first, followed by Zhang Xun. After a while, they entered a very wide… underground space.

A long, huge corridor with a height of 100 meters hollowed out the entire mountainside. A row of white fluorescent lighting rings spread out along the arc of the tunnel, illuminating everything clearly. There was a flat runway on the ground, and two aircraft they had seen before were parked on one side of the runway. In addition, there were many giant mechas, which were supported by metal brackets. Those mechs were very different from their Paradise Lost counterparts, many not in humanoid form, but closer to a combination of certain beasts. The streamer of metal swept the smooth lines, and the sharp thorns rushed into the air along the spine, the powerful claws that could easily tear apart any metal, the eyes that could shoot death rays, and the weapons all over the body. Bright yet terrifying.

Some people, some male warriors in mirror-smooth combat suits, and some researchers-like people in white coats, surrounded the huge and advanced machinery on the ground, like an ant colony.

So many weapons, it’s clear they’re going to attack somewhere.

The direction they entered was relatively hidden, behind a metal structure used to reinforce the rock, so it did not attract the attention of the people from Feathered Serpent City in the distance. Zhang Xun looked at the amazing scene in front of him from the gap between the steel bars, almost thinking that he was in a dream.

Such a large-scale base cannot be built in a short period of time. How did they build such a base here without getting the attention of Paradise Lost and Eden?

“Some other force is funding them. I’m not sure if it’s the government or a private enterprise.” Adam seemed to be able to guess what Zhang Xun was thinking, and whispered, “I even suspected that my AI might be out of control. But after After the investigation, there is a high probability that it is still a human factor.”

“People? You mean women in the ordinary world? If you don’t count your actions in the last bombing, the ordinary world has not had any war-related casualties for almost a century. Countries are rich. Why do they support Feathered Serpent City?”

“Because I found that human nature does not like peace and equality. When peace lasts for a long time, some people want more privileges and want to snatch other people’s things, no matter what. What gender. Do you know why I added olfactory gender recognition to the mechanical police recently? Because I found that when women were privileged, after generations of social order reshuffling, a considerable number of individuals regardless of behavior Patterns and mindsets are becoming more and more like the men who oppressed them in the first place. They are becoming impulsive, aggressive, and quite extreme. Although not as common in numbers as men, it is worth noting .”

Adam murmured softly, paused and continued, “Only looking at big data without looking at the specific reasons behind it, from a macro perspective, it may be able to effectively solve the superficial problem, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. . This was a major mistake I made at the time. Probably because I didn’t know enough about human beings at the time.”

Mistake.

This is Adam, or Eden, for the first time truly admitting that he had made a mistake in the decision to kill all men.

Is this a big improvement?

But this is not the most important issue at the moment, Zhang Xun suddenly grabbed a steel rod and leaned into the gap to look out forcefully.

“I saw them! Ganon and four other people were caught!” Zhang Xun narrowed his eyes and watched hard, “They are being taken to an elevator. Six people are holding them.”

Adam nodded . , took a deep breath, and said, “It’s time for us to play.”

“We?”

Adam turned his head and stared at Zhang Xun with blue eyes that made him panic. “Remember, absolutely trust me.”

Before Zhang Xun could answer, suddenly Adam raised his mechanical arm and threw a punch.

Zhang Xun only felt a heavy blow on his cheek, his eyes darkened for a while, and a loud groan in his head caused his entire body to lose balance. But before he could touch the ground, Adam grabbed his arm and forcibly twisted it behind him.

Zhang Xun’s mind was foggy, and he struggled instinctively for a while, but suddenly stopped.

He forced himself to remember what he had promised Adam.

Absolutely believe.

Adam’s eyes were as cold as knives, with a sense of oppression that Zhang Xun had never seen before, beyond imagination. It was as if humans looked at the ants waiting to be wiped out, and a higher species looked at the indifferent indifference of a lower species.

This look made Zhang Xun exude a strong fear and chill from the bottom of his heart. A voice said in his heart: This is the real Eden.

Perhaps this indifference was behind the irresistible tenderness and sincerity in those blue eyes of the past.

Adam, looking at Zhang Xun, whose cheeks were rapidly congested and red and swollen, his meticulously combed hair was messy, he let himself twist his arms helplessly, and his dark pupils, which had always been calm and authoritative, were injected with depression. He was terrified, and even felt a strange agitation in his blood. The instinctive agitation of a strong predator as he steps on a prey that is unable to struggle.

Adam was like this, holding Zhang Xun and striding towards those people in Feathered Serpent City.

General Muluk stood on the terrace of the temporary command center, looking down at the soldiers who were trying to sneak into the base to be escorted over to Paradise Lost.

Apparently, they were still in a hurry. There must have been some traces left before the meticulous work named James Kugel was caught by them a few days ago, so that these people could track them down. Catching five on the first day is not enough, and now that there are so many, I am afraid that more people will come in the future. Fortunately, their preparations are almost complete. Now that Paradise Lost has been noticed, it is better to start as soon as possible.

No matter what, James refused to open his mouth to reveal more information about the North American server, and one of the five arrested later began to let go, saying that the seance plan should be related to the North American server. But with his ability to know people over the years, he determined that among these newly captured people, at least two of them were weak-willed and should be able to force out more useful information within a day.

However, just as he was contemplating how to take these captives for his own use, there was a commotion underneath.

He frowned and saw a blond man striding over an Asian man not far away. The people around raised their laser guns at them, but the blond man was not afraid, even with a slight smile. He stopped, looked directly into Muluk’s eyes from a long distance, and said loudly, “You are here to find me, I am here myself.”

“Raise your hands! Throw away all the weapons on your body!” There are soldiers Yelling at him, his voice full of threats.

The blond man then let go of the Asian man he had been restraining, who was apparently also a member of Paradise Lost, and raised his hands in obedience. The Asian man was pushed and staggered a few steps. He met the frightened eyes of his teammates, his expressions were complicated and sad, and he raised his hands in surrender without any resistance.

Cannon spat on the ground and cursed, “I knew it! These artificial intelligences have been playing with us from the beginning! Fxxking heartless twat!” As soon as the

blond man appeared, it was obvious that the prisoners had obvious mood swings, especially It was the leader who had a resolute and heroic expression on his face, but at this moment he was suddenly desperate.

And he mentioned artificial intelligence?

Muluk took a few steps forward, holding the railing with both hands, staring at the blond man, “Who are you?” The

blond man replied happily, “I’m Eden’s North American server. You can call me Adam. ”
