The Mechanic - Chapter 59

[Chapter 59 Doom (5)]

With a short hug, Adam quickly assessed Zhang Xun’s physical condition. The body temperature was higher than the average measured during normal contact with him, presumably due to inflammation of the wound. The uncontrollable shudder was probably due to the cold from the difference in body temperature. Although it’s not as serious as life-threatening, it’s certainly not bad.

Adam felt that anger began to condense in his heart, and at the same time, another stronger emotion made his chest hurt. He wanted to hold the trembling body tightly like this, and pass his own temperature.

But he understood that their time was very limited.

He leaned into Zhang Xun’s ear and said, “You have to let me stand by.”

Zhang Xun opened his eyes wide, trying to push Adam away. But Adam did not let go and continued to trap him in his arms, “The sooner the better, the best is now. The timing is very important.”

Zhang Xun turned his brain, which was slower than usual because of the fever, and gradually understood The meaning of Adam’s request.

Adam was the only one who stopped it after Eden showed it was powerful enough to throw the entire Paradise Lost into a state of irrational panic. Now, although Eden has temporarily withdrawn its troops, no one knows whether it will return with more troops.

At such times, Adam was their only hope.

How ironic, everyone wanted Adam to die and sacrifice in exchange for the chance to survive in the hands of Eden. But now, they see Adam as redemption.

Maybe Eden was right from the start, and humans don’t have the ability to make the right decisions for themselves. Humans are like a group of short-sighted, poor self-control, and panic-prone children who need a stronger “adult” to control them. The so-called free will, like a dangerous double-edged sword, in the hands of human beings is tantamount to handing over the most dangerous weapon to a group of children who do not know how to use it.

Now, these “children” see Adam as a hero who can protect them and make decisions for them, but this absolute trust may only last for a short period of time. Once the crisis has passed and the forgetful people have forgotten their own fear and despair in the face of death and their gratitude and joy in redemption, Adam will once again be regarded as an unbelievable heresy.

But in this short period of time, Adam had absolute authority in Paradise Lost. And Zhang Xun is the only person who can restrain him at present.

As long as he puts Adam on standby, no one can wake Adam. And if Eden turned back at this time, no one would be able to save Paradise Lost.

Adam wants to save Zhang Xun, and wants to seek a gold medal for Zhang Xun and Lab who have lost their asylum. So he wants Zhang Xun to exercise absolute binding force on him, in order to tell the whole Paradise Lost, whose hands the real power lies.

This is the only bargaining chip Zhang Xun can negotiate with the sixth chief.

After less than a minute of alone time, I heard someone opening the door. Zhang Xun took advantage of Adam’s cover and quickly pressed several times on a specific position on the inside of his left arm. It’s a little difficult without the interface assistance shown on the microscopic mirror, but it can’t be so much at this point. The device on the inside of the arm began to activate, and a burning pain spread under the skin, as if there were fine needles stabbing.

The probe protruding from the device took in Zhang Xun’s blood, and detected DNA through white blood cells. After confirming Zhang Xun’s identity, a light blue light began to light up under Zhang Xun’s skin, showing a complex and strange, Pattern like a tattoo.

That is Zhang Xun’s original operation interface, designed on the basis of AI language, and no one in Paradise Lost can use it except him. His fingers quickly swiped over those lines, and with each stroke, a purple light flowed across the lines. When he finished typing the command, there was a burning pain under his skin, which was his own warning to himself.

He raised his head and met Adam’s eyes. Adam looked at him firmly and nodded.

Heart beating so fast. Since the seance was completed, he hadn’t put Adam on standby, and he didn’t know how Adam’s composite brain would react. Will it cause crashes or any unexpected adverse reactions? Will data be lost?

Perhaps…they could also escape. He and Adam rushed out like this…

But where did they escape? Beyond Paradise Lost, there is only Eden, only more escape and death. And what about father? What about James? What about Fernandez, Diego, Jabari? What about all those innocent people?

Adam’s eyes seemed to tell him that this was their only chance to not be controlled by the round table.

Zhang Xun slammed his heart horizontally, covering the pattern with his palm, pressing down hard.

So Adam stopped suddenly.

stopped completely.

He maintained the expression of staring at Zhang Xun with slightly downcast eyes, but some kind of vivid light in his eyes solidified.

The current Adam maintains a delicate and just right balance, but with a slight push, he will fall. Apart from respiration and basic metabolic cycles, Adam was like a vegetative person, knowing nothing.

The person who pushed open the door and entered was a mechanic who was older in the Lab but had no relationship with Zhang Xun, and a psychologist named Patty, a close associate of the sixth chief.

“Two, please take your seats. We…” Patty said, but stopped suddenly, looking at Adam, who was motionless with his back to them, and stared at him with a strange, indifferent look with a hint of pride. Theirs, Zhang Xun, was not very good looking.

Patty stood up suddenly, strode over, reached out and touched Adam’s shoulder. Adam just fell.

The God who could save Paradise Lost fell just like that.

Patty sucked in a breath of cold air, frowned and stared at Zhang Xun, “What did you do?”

Zhang Xun resisted the urge to catch Adam, forced his head full of drowsiness, and raised his chin slightly arrogantly, “Tell the sixth chief and let him come to see me in person.”

……………… ………………………………

When the sixth chief brought a group of followers into this extremely small torture room, Zhang Xun pulled a chair and sat by the wall. Adam, on the other hand, “sit” against the wall, with his head down, his blond hair covering his eyes, motionless, as if he were dead.

The eyes of the sixth chief were burning with anger that was about to burst, and beneath the calm surface was an almost perceptible upheaval, like violent lava that was forcibly suppressed by cooling volcanic rocks.

When he felt the pure hatred surging in the air, Zhang Xun curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

God knows how uncomfortable he is now, and he just wants to take some antipyretics, get a shot of antibiotics and sleep for a few days. But if the exhaustion and all kinds of pain can make him see the angry and helpless appearance of the sixth chief at this moment, it will all be worth it.

Zhang Xun pretended to be elegant and nodded slightly, “Sixth Chief, please take a seat.”

Miller pretended to be calm and sat down opposite Zhang Xun. Some guards stood behind him and aimed their guns at Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun stood still, smiling at the sixth chief. That kind of gentle, polite smile, the more you look at it, the more contempt you can see.

It was the look that Miller hated most.

This kind of genius looks at the second place who will never catch up to him.

That kind of funny, even a little pitiful look.

He wanted to dig out those two eyeballs.

“Zhang Xun, if you let Adam go privately before, it is enough to be brought to court for the crime of disobedience. You are now using Adam to threaten the round table, but it is a felony treason.” Miller said calmly.

Zhang Xun chuckled, “I’m a mechanic, and I don’t even know how to use a gun. How can I use Adam to blackmail you? He’s here, you can take him away at any time.” “Please” gesture.

“You must hand over your control over Adam immediately.” Miller stared at him gloomily. “I’ll consider asking the Prosecutor’s Office not to prosecute you and just remove you from the position of mechanic. But if you continue to be unrepentant, only I’ve taken extraordinary measures.”

“Extraordinary measures?” Zhang Xun tilted his head slightly in confusion, this is the action he learned from Adam, and he felt that this action is very easy to make people … crazy, “You mean peeling My skin? Or cut off my hands and feet?” He said, slowly lifting his sleeves, “This is the control device you want, you can take it away at any time. It’s just…will it be used? It’s your own problem. But I think since you have a background as a mechanic and you are the youngest chief of the round table, it shouldn’t be a problem to decode this.” The

sixth chief frowned, as if he didn’t quite understand Zhang Xun’s arm. what is on. He had never seen such… an operation interface…

If it was really an operation interface…

So this was Zhang Xun’s plan. First encourage Adam to flee, order him to raid Eden, and then put Adam on standby after success, using the urgent need of the people outside to see Adam and need to know that Adam will always protect them to persecute the round table.

It’s because I underestimate this “nerd”.

The sixth chief suddenly laughed, raised his hand, and clapped a few times in the air, “It’s very thoughtful, mechanic Zhang Xun. Tell me, what is your request?”

“I want Lab to gain autonomy and not have to obey orders. At the round table and the guards.” Zhang Xun put away his smile and looked at the sixth chief solemnly, “The first version of all research and development products in the Lab belongs to the Lab, and the replicas sent to the military factory for production belong to you. The guards cannot intervene in the research and development of the Lab’s products, nor can they take away the property in the Lab without my permission.”

The sixth chief sneered, “You really dare to ask for it. Zhang Xun, don’t you plan for the future? Even if we are subject to… the current situation, but what about the future?”

“The future? Will there be a future? We have already Openly declaring war with Eden, coupled with the coveted Feathered Serpent City, the days of peace in Paradise Lost are over.” Zhang Xun leaned forward slightly, with a gloomy sense of oppression in his persistent and focused eyes, “Adam is yours. The only hope, and I, is Adam’s only master. I can create him, and I can destroy him at any time. The big deal, take us all to hell.”

“You bastard!!!” A man next to the sixth chief The general couldn’t bear it any longer, and rushed over angrily, punching Zhang Xun in the face. Zhang Xun only felt a buzzing sound in his ears and dizzy. His entire body almost fell off the chair. A flash of darkness flashed before his eyes, and he realized he was on the verge of a coma.

He can’t be in a coma, not at this time. Must hold on.

An obsession so strong that even he himself could not believe it forced him to regain control of his chaotic consciousness and weak body. The wound, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a bloody smile.

“Mad! He’s already crazy!” The general’s eyes flashed with panic, and he took a few steps back. The sixth chief stared gloomily at Zhang Xun, the smoldering hatred was so obvious that there was no need to hide it.

“You are a coward.” The sixth chief said solemnly, “For the sake of his own selfish desires, a coward who put the safety of innocent people in Paradise Lost at risk!”

Zhang Xun still smiled, unmoved, “A coward, I am still Adam’s mechanic, the only mechanic.”
