The Mechanic - Chapter 61

[Chapter 61 Doom (7)]

On the way from the headquarters to the hospital, Zhang Xun saw an unprecedented bleak situation. There were not many people in the narrow streets that were always crowded and lively, and the doors of every household were closed, probably because they were afraid of being infected by the terrible honey plague. However, the virus is still pervasive, and sticky yellow marks can be seen on many doors and windows. Medical staff wrapped in protective clothing forcibly took out patients with symptoms from room to room, some of them even began to show a certain violent tendencies, covered with yellowish pus, like monsters in the street howling and struggling.

In just two or three days, the plague has already begun to spread to the first district.

The Round Table concealed the death toll, as well as the mutations that began in the later stages of the plague. But these chapters and Xun have already seen from the report. The Round Table can’t hide Zhang Xun, because he is Adam’s controller, and Adam may be able to develop an antidote before the honey plague mutates into a more dangerous form.

On the way, Zhang Xun saw a man standing at the door with his eyes wide open, watching the medical staff electrocute his father, who was stunned with yellow mucus all over his body, but was wielding an axe in his hand. The boy was weeping, silently, and his little body trembled from choking from time to time. In those eyes that were supposed to be innocent and innocent, the purest, most primitive, and strongest fear of human beings was condensed, which was enough to distort the fear of a person’s soul.

He also saw an old man kneeling in despair at the medical staff, hugging his partner’s emaciated, aged body soaked in yellow mucus.

And those who hurried past him, their faces wrapped in cloth towels or gas masks. In a trance, he seems to have returned to the Middle Ages, to the period when the Black Death was rampant. After so many centuries, people are still helpless and shivering in the face of the epidemic.

If Eden can do such a thing, can develop such a rapid and constantly mutating virus, what about Adam?

Would Adam do such a thing?

Zhang Xun stood in front of the two closed heavy cedar doors, behind him, his eyes were staring at him. Every soldier has a deadly weapon in his hand, and although he is not pointed at him, the threat is very clear.

Although the round table has signed the official document, he noticed that the official document stated that the guards would no longer be responsible for the Lab’s security. The Round Table will no longer grant funds to Lab, but new weapons can be purchased from Lab at reasonable prices.

This means that Lab has lost its official protection. As the head of the Lab, he is no longer an object to be protected, but an object to be guarded against.

A doctor opened the door for him. The clean light streamed out from behind the door, and Zhang Xun saw Adam sitting on a chair supported by some brackets at a glance. Adam remained motionless, like a corpse. The skull was opened, and the part of the human brain wrapped in the solution and the artificial brain he made were exposed to the air, and countless threads stretched out, woven into a fine mesh.

Many computers are monitoring Adam’s brainwave signals. In addition, there are many lines extending from Adam’s wrist and heart, and at the same time monitoring Adam’s other physiological signal data. In the forest of computers and data cables, a young man in his twenties raised his head in panic.

It was a man of Asian descent, with a handsome appearance and bright eyes. Zhang Xun had some impression of him, as if he had won the first place in the recent mechanic examination. At that time, Fernandez also mentioned him to Zhang Xun specially, saying that his name was Jian Mo, very smart, and even a bit like Zhang Xun when he was “young”.

But Zhang Xun was busy designing Adam’s new arm at that time, and he didn’t have time to look at the assessment results of those new mechanics, so he just answered it and passed. It now appears that he is the “genius” that James calls it, who may well be able to crack his control over Adam.

Zhang Xun immediately felt some kind of threat, some kind of threat that would be replaced by younger and smarter opponents sooner or later. He stared at the young man coldly and said nothing.

Jian Mo seemed to be at a loss. A member of the following members stepped forward and told him that the round table had reached a consensus with Zhang Xun, and from now on Adam would still be in charge of Zhang Xun.

There was a moment of unwillingness and disappointment on Jian Mo’s face. He whispered something, but the congressman’s face sank, “This is the order of the round table.”

Jian Mo pursed his lips tightly, and then walked cautiously towards Zhang Xun, with a look of awe similar to

seeing someone revered, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, “Mechanic Zhang, it’s nice to meet you, I have always admired you!” At the age of ten, Zhang Xun knew that he had no reason to feel threatened, but in his heart there was a… very unpleasant feeling.

But he still shook hands with the other party politely, but his tone was somewhat sharp, “I heard that you want to crack my system. How is it going?

” It’s very close to perfection, my progress is slow, but… if you give me time, it’s not impossible…”

These words, which seemed to show weakness but were actually provocative, caused Zhang Xun’s eyes to burst with anger.

Everyone wanted to snatch Adam from him because they saw Adam’s power and perfection.

Perfectly crafted by him.

“Unfortunately, you don’t have time, and you won’t have it in the future.” Zhang Xun stared at him coldly, then bypassed him and walked towards Adam.

A look of hurt appeared on Jian Mo’s face for a moment. He told Zhang Xun that Zhang Xun was his idol and not a lie. When he was a student, he was taken to visit the Lab, and he was deeply attracted by the artificial intelligence Pan that Zhang Xun had trained. It is precisely because of this that he chose to become a mechanic, devoted himself fully, and passed the examination with the best results. He had been looking forward to meeting Zhang Xun and showing him the artificial intelligence he designed…but that never happened.

Then, he met Adam.

In an instant, he was fascinated.

The most powerful artificial intelligence in the world, stored in the body of a man with an angelic smile. Weirdly appropriate…

He wanted to get close to Adam, but he had no chance. And this time, he got the chance and almost succeeded. But at this time, the round table compromised…

He didn’t even have time to say a word to Adam.

“Don’t worry, this is an expedient measure.” The congressman who took him away whispered in his ear, “After you go back to the Lab, you have to restrain your sharpness. Work hard, and you will come out one day.”

Jian Mo vaguely understood Taking his meaning, he nodded lightly.

On this side, Zhang Xun ordered, “Everyone go out and close the door.” The

soldiers hesitated, not sure if they should obey his orders. Zhang Xun turned his head impatiently, and his tone became more and more cold, “I’ll say it again, go out.”

Finally, an officer nodded, and all the soldiers, doctors and nurses filed out and closed the door.

Zhang Xun turned his head, and in an instant, the sharpness in his eyes was completely gone. He became Zhang Xun again, that unsmiling, but quiet eyes, looking at the sleeping man almost tenderly.

He activated the device on his arm, entered commands quickly, and pressed hard on the pattern. Then he raised his hand and touched Adam’s drooping, flawless cheek lightly.

It also takes a while for the wake-up procedure to start. In this short period of time, he didn’t have to pretend.

His eyes became a little wet without realizing it. When Lab let Adam go, he wasn’t sure if it would be the last of the two of them.

At that time, he was ready to be tortured and interrogated to death. Now that I think about it, how could I be so crazy at that time?

James was right, he was fascinated by Adam.

He was even willing to die for Adam.

This is probably the last thing that should happen to a creator, the beginning of the destruction of all creators – to love with human love a creature that probably does not have this ability at all.

Yes, he probably already fell in love with Adam. Probably the moment Adam opened those ethereal blue eyes for the first time, he was destined to fall in love with him.

After all, he was never loved, never attached, never understood. And these feelings, Adam gave him.

Even if he was given an illusory and well-designed warmth, he could not resist.

After all, Zhang Xun still has his pride and his bottom line. So no matter what, he can’t let his guard down and indulge in his feelings. In front of Adam, he would never admit his true feelings.

But it doesn’t matter now.

Before Adam woke up, when his brainwaves just started to show the first peak, Zhang Xun raised his head and kissed Adam’s cold lips lightly.

After a while, Adam’s brainwave peaks became more and more secret, and his heartbeat began to speed up. Zhang Xun saw Adam’s eyeballs start to roll, so he took a step back, limiting the distance to one step again.

The blue eyes slowly opened and blinked a few times, fading away the initial layer of confusion. Adam looked up, somewhat confused to find himself unable to move. But soon, he saw Zhang Xun, and a trace of understanding appeared on his face.

“A Xun…” The throat that hadn’t spoken for a few days was a little hoarse, but it was extraordinarily charming.

Zhang Xun immediately began to unplug the wires connected to his brain, put the skull and scalp back in place, and removed the brackets. Adam’s body slumped, Zhang Xun tried to catch him, but was unsuccessful. After exclaiming, the two fell to the ground on top of each other.

Adam lay on Zhang Xun and suddenly let out a low laugh.

“What are you laughing at! Get up soon!” Zhang Xun tried to push Adam away, but Adam grabbed his wrist.

Adam raised his body slightly, and fondly stroked the healing wound on Zhang Xun’s forehead with his organic alloy fingers, “I remember when I was just in a trance, this happened. I can’t walk. , you couldn’t catch me again, and we fell to the ground together.”

Zhang Xun chuckled unwittingly as he recalled the chaotic first day.

It’s only half a year, why does it feel like it’s a past life?

Adam looked down at him, looking so serious, “Xun, you’ve worked hard.”

But Zhang Xun’s smile froze for a moment.

The doubts that Adam could have forgotten while he was on standby are now rushing back. This made Zhang Xun feel a little sad.

Doubt, eternal doubt.

He pushed Adam away, sat up, lowered his head and thought for a few seconds. Then he said, “Honey plague…have you heard of it?”

Adam frowned, “I’ve only heard of the Black Death, Ebola virus…and names like plague have been abandoned by modern medicine for a long time.”

“You While on standby, Eden dropped a biochemical weapon in the fifth area. A virus with strong mutation ability, when the disease is in the middle stage, the pores of the whole body will secrete golden pus, and the patient will also experience photophobia and hallucinations , personality changes and other symptoms. When you were still Eden, did you participate in this research?”

Adam was puzzled, “Biochemical weapons? Such a decision is really strange.”

“Obviously ordinary air strikes can’t kill you, And the losses are heavy. Maybe Eden thinks that you are a human now and hopes to let the human virus solve you.”

“This is our bargaining chip, isn’t it?” Adam asked softly, “Find the antidote.”

Zhang Xun nodded, “Lab will no longer be under the control of the round table and the military. I got the official document.”

Adam twitched the corners of his mouth with a pure smile, but he always seemed to have an unspeakable, hidden evil spirit.

“In this case, we can’t let them down.”
