The Mechanic - Chapter 43

[Chapter 43 Machinery and Life (1)]

When the roar began to sound one after another, and the ground was shaking, Cannon immediately stood up, ran to the door and opened the metal piece of the food delivery port, and looked out through the gap.

Behind the iron gate at the far end of the passage, the two guarding Feathered Serpent City soldiers obviously did not know what was going on. They were arguing nervously in Brazilian, and their eyes looked upward from time to time.

At this time, there was another loud noise, accompanied by a violent shaking like an earthquake, Cannon couldn’t maintain his balance, slammed his head against the door panel, and couldn’t help but cursed, “F**K! It won’t really be like this. It’s time for an earthquake!”

James struggled to stabilize his body, looking nervously at the ceiling that began to crack and leak wisps of dust. The area where they are located is at the junction of plates, and the compression of plates caused by the movement of the earth’s crust does cause super earthquakes every three hundred years. But the last super earthquake happened just 95 years ago, shouldn’t it?

Oops… they’re all trapped here, and if there’s an earthquake, they’ll be buried alive. I don’t know if there is any way for A Xun to escape…

The two guards outside were obviously panicked, and one guard left in a hurry, probably wanting to check the situation. The vibration didn’t last, but came every once in a while, which was a bit like… bombing?

James moved in his heart and stood up against the wall. But at this moment, he heard some kind of thin mechanical sound coming from the inside of the heavy metal prison door, and then Kara.

“Cannon, try pushing the door.” James said.

Cannon also heard the strange sound, he turned his head to look at James suspiciously, and then reached out to push the door.

The door opened a crack…

Cannon’s eyes widened in disbelief. He tentatively opened the door wider again, without encountering any obstacles and without sounding the alarm.

Feathered Serpent City’s protection system crashed!

James whispered, “Don’t open the door too much, we have to bring down the remaining guard outside. His arms and eyes have been modified, and it is not so easy to deal with.” The

two are figuring out how to cooperate to bring down the man . Suddenly, the door of the cell next door was suddenly pushed open, and Jabari and He Yuxin led the rest of the team members and rushed towards the guard with a roar. The guard panicked and raised his arm to turn it into a laser gun, but found that his hand didn’t obey him and began to turn randomly, and his five fingers kept twitching. His electronic eyes have also become abnormal, and the two eyeballs are moving around, uncontrollably, making it impossible for him to see who is rushing towards him.

James rolled his eyes and scolded Jabari for being a stunner, but still joined the battle with Cannon. They didn’t expect that there was something wrong with the soldier’s own modified limb, and there was no way to fight back. Jabari knocked the opponent unconscious with one punch.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

James said, “I guess… it’s Axun and Adam.”

“Adam? But didn’t he defect?” Cannon asked in astonishment and confusion.

“Maybe it’s not a real mutiny. I know that A Xun has set up a few lines of defense to prevent Adam from getting out of control. If he didn’t activate those insurance measures, it means that all this may have been arranged by them.”

He Yuxin showed some understanding. , “You mean that Adam pretended to be mutinous, but was actually looking for an opportunity to hack their system?”

“Pretend? Fuck, that AI said the same thing at the time!” Jabari yelled.

Another hunter murmured, “I also thought he was right at the time…”

“It’s true or not, we’ll see if we go out and see.” James said, crouching down and searching the collapsed soldier. In addition to the modified arm, the other party also carried a small gun with physical bullets. He pinned the gun and magazine to his waist, and together with He Xinyu, led everyone along the empty corridor to the direction of the stairs and elevators.

When they came to the military factory, what they saw was a magnificent scene of destruction.

An aircraft and two mechas were burning, and the flames exuded an ominous blue light, dipping the entire huge mountain belly in that eerie light and shadow. In the distance, several giant mechas that were sleeping peacefully roared, shooting super-strong microwaves and sharp claws that could melt rocks from their eyes, tearing those steel equipment to pieces. The smooth metallic luster flows from the strong and deadly steel muscles, jumping recklessly in an incredible way among the screaming Feather Serpent City soldiers, even grabbing on the steep rock wall, using the The barbed long tail swept across the fleeing crowd, and swept away countless Feathered Serpent City soldiers who tried to fire at it like insects and ants.

Obviously, the people in Feathered Serpent City were already retreating in some kind of chaos. Even the people who ran past them didn’t have time to pay attention to them.

And those mecha beasts obviously don’t intend to kill them all, but they are deliberately rushing everyone to those retreating aircraft. Even so, the blazing flames and the continuous explosions, the torn lamp circles and the massive collapsed rock tops were the scene of a disaster movie.

At this moment, a huge shadow fell from the sky, and a giant silver mecha, which seemed to be designed according to the body of a cheetah, landed in front of the hunters with a bang. The prostrate posture alone is three meters high, and on the huge inverted triangle head, two rows of red eyes are like burning hell flames, overlooking them. Always talk about the doom of death pouring on all of them. And they won’t even get a chance to fight back.

Everyone froze in place, their hearts were beating fast, and they were sweating.

At this time, the two rows of eyes of the giant beast suddenly turned blue, and a beam of light was emitted, and a 3D image of a human figure appeared in it.

Adam was suspended in mid-air, just like when he was still in the human body, behind the terrifying metal monsters, and the raging flames burning in the entire mountain. But he was smiling politely, nodding to everyone, “You’ve worked hard, James, it’s nice to see you again.”

Polite enough to seem like it was a dinner party in some upper-class society, not just blown up by him. Underground military base.

The hunters were stunned, Jabari said, “You really did it?!”

Adam said humbly as embarrassed, “Without Axun’s help, I couldn’t find a chance to enter their system. I have now controlled them. One of the generals of , can be taken back to Paradise Lost as a captive for more information. Other Feathered Serpents personnel are already retreating. This place will probably hold up for about thirty minutes before it starts to collapse, so if you want to bring it back Some spoils, now is the best time.”

The hunters still looked at him in confusion.

Adam said patiently as if looking at a group of children, “If you don’t go, there

will be no more~” He Yuxin said first, “We have to bring as many samples as possible back to Paradise Lost. Everyone will look for them immediately, whether it is weapons or portable equipment. , Bring everything you can! Come back and gather in 20 minutes!” After the

captain gave an order, everyone dispersed and began frantically searching for Feathered Serpent City’s weapons.

At this time, the three aircraft of Feathered Serpent City also ran to and glide out one after another, leaving their base and leader in embarrassment and fled.

In the roar, only James stayed. He asked Adam anxiously, “Where is Axun? Where is your body?”

Adam stretched out his hand and pointed to the elevator not far away, “We are on the next floor, if you want to go, you can use this elevator to go to the next floor. Then I walked along the corridor. Xun is trying to set the program to transfer me back into the human body. You don’t have to worry, neither A Xun nor I was injured.”

James finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran towards The direction of the lift. And Adam’s image went out, and the giant beast slowly turned its head and looked at everything that was burning in front of him with two rows of faint eyes.

And underground, about an hour ago: in a research room with a huge hole in the wall, Zhang Xun nervously entered the code. Press the last enter key, and the download progress bar starts to appear, and it is very fast. With Adam helping to optimize, the download speed was even faster than the previous upload.

Fortunately, the transmission of this small ribose molecule solution is extremely fast, otherwise it would take a whole night, and it would be too late.

On the other side, General Muluk, who had been temporarily unconscious due to blood loss, was handcuffed to a metal pipe by Zhang Xun. Hemostasis, not life-threatening for the time being.

But it took too much time to stop the bleeding for the general. He is also not sure whether the transmission can be completely completed before the entire underground base collapses…

The time passed minute by minute, and the progress bar was close to full. Zhang Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard Adam’s voice coming from the loudspeaker, “James is coming to you, I will help you open the door.”

“Adam, you should go to sleep now. Otherwise, the transmission will be unstable, It may cause problems!”

“I believe your code, Xun, is impeccable.”

“…Don’t be slick! Go to sleep! Or I’ll force you to stand by.”

“Xun, I’m sorry, I’m not in my body now. , you can’t force me to stand by.”

When did this artificial intelligence speak so poor.

At this moment, the door of the research room opened. James strode in. Zhang Xun turned around to see the person coming, and was about to smile with confidence. But suddenly saw James change color. ” Axun

! Be careful!” But it turned out that Muluk had woken up at some point, and just kept pretending to continue sleeping.

Just when Adam lost control of the base system at the last moment of the transmission and Zhang Xun’s attention was also diverted by James, Muluk raised his head and opened his mouth wide. From the depths of his throat, a strange long tube with a metallic luster but elastic protruded, aiming at Zhang Xun.

Who would have thought that the lunatics of Feathered Serpent City would transform their bodies to such an extent that they hide deadly weapons in their esophagus.

Zhang Xun only had time to turn his head to look in the direction of General Feather Serpent City, and only had time to see the blazing white light that erupted from the black pipe.

At the moment of separation between life and death, an alloy arm behind him suddenly hugged Zhang Xun, and while turning his body away, the other hand, the human hand, wanted to cover his head reflexively. Although he moved quickly, the back of his hand still brushed the edge of the beam. After just a few milliseconds of contact, something terrible happened.

From the place where the beam touched, the skin quickly evaporated into large red and swollen blisters, as if the skin was boiling, and began to spread towards the arm.

Adam screamed in pain and fell off the operating table. His entire body twitched and twisted on the ground because of the pain.

His skull wasn’t even covered…

“Adam!!! Adam!!!” Zhang Xun’s heart stopped beating and his voice was hoarse. He tried to hold Adam down to prevent concussive damage to the part of his human brain protected by the nanocontainer. But he couldn’t restrain Adam at all, because it was so painful, it was like being burned by fire, like the skin was slashed by a dull knife.

This is the first time that Adam has experienced pain so vividly and intensely, but it is also a pain that is beyond the capacity of ordinary human beings. Tears overflowed uncontrollably, and he could only scream unnecessarily, screaming like an ordinary human being.

Muluk was still laughing wildly, “You cut off my hand, and I’ll burn your arm too! We’re even!” As soon as he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious by the furious James with the butt of a gun.

Zhang Xun didn’t have time to pay attention to the rest. He could only see that Adam’s entire hand was no longer in shape. The skin was broken and festered in an instant, and the muscles were peeling off from the bones, as if they were being rapidly corrupted by some invisible virus. And those blisters are still spreading fast, already close to the elbow.

He knows that there is no time, and now he can’t hesitate for a moment, and there is no time to soften his heart. He must save Adam, he must save him!

So he grabbed a small chainsaw from the operating table, tears of panic filled his eyes, but said to Adam in a soft, calm voice, “Just hold on, hold on, hold on, and it’s over!”

Then he turned it on The chainsaw cut towards Adam’s only remaining native arm.

The author has something to say: So Adam’s two hands are going to become fake, but the crippled is to become stronger~
