The Mechanic - Chapter 122

[Chapter 122 Descendants (6)]

Adam focused on comparing Zhang Shuo’s genes, trying to restore Zhang Xun’s genetic samples before they were modified. Although another 50 percent of the genetic samples from Zhang Xun’s other father were missing, it was much easier to repair than at first. He just needs more time…

But at this moment, all of a sudden the lights in the whole room began to flicker erratically, a subtle but disturbing buzzing vibration suddenly appeared in the air, and there were even a few high-powered machines Started to smell burnt. There was a sharp pain in Adam’s head, as if something sharp had burrowed into his skull. With a cry of pain, he lost his balance and fell to his knees. He felt that something else had invaded his consciousness.

Eden… Eden has found them and is invading his mind!

But he is not connected to any signal transmitter now, how is Eden…

It seems that invisible claws are stirring up his central processing unit, tearing at his basic human brain, but he is powerless to stop it.

All his plans, rescue Zhang Xun and even everyone’s plans are in his hard drive, once found by Eden, it will fall short. He must immediately put himself into standby or even off. But the exploding pain kept him from moving. He tried to stand up, but was disoriented and even knocked over a nearby workbench.

Zhang Xun suddenly rushed into the door and supported Adam, whose face was pale and blood was oozing from his eyes, nose and ears, and carefully placed his head on his shoulder, “Adam, what’s wrong with you?”

Zhang Xun asked in the chaos. The voice seemed extraordinarily distant, Adam barely focused his eyes on Zhang Xun’s face through the red-stained vision, “Eden is in my mind… You must shut me down immediately…”

He felt Zhang Xun carefully He fell to the ground and frantically rummaged through the workbench for something. After a while, he felt that the waterproof interface on the back of his head was opened, and a data cable was connected.

“Eden may have discovered us long ago, and I’m afraid a nano-robot has sneaked into your head.” Zhang Xun’s voice was quick but very calm, “Eden is preventing me from running the shutdown command, I can only make you go into sleep state and put the Your core modules and databases are transferred at the fastest speed.”

With the last half of the sentence, Adam’s consciousness began to blur, and it finally returned to nothingness.

Zhang Xun quickly started running the module transfer program to transfer Adam’s consciousness to a safe place.

At the same time, he turned on the Button to call Diego, “Inform everyone immediately to put on the protective suit, there may be nano-robots in the camp!” order. Zhang Xun raised his eyes and looked at the invisible threats in the void, but he did not panic.

An impulse stirred deep in his mind.

Here comes Eden… Eden can send him to the clouds, he can free him from the numbness of his body… He can be connected to everyone, he can have eternal life, he can have peace…

He doesn’t have to Continue to fight, no need to stand firm, no more thinking, no more contradicting himself… He just needs to go with the flow and be like everyone else. Easy, simple…

He’s tired of being an outlier. Since childhood, from the very first years of his life, he has been an outlier, always out of tune with the surrounding environment and people, and even has an insurmountable gap with his biological father.

Adam gave him the only sense of intimacy, attachment, but Adam wasn’t even a real human being.

What is he insisting on?

Just at this moment, a computer that had failed in the previous electronic pulse suddenly started running again, and the blue projection waved in the air, forming a figure standing in front of Zhang Xun.

Turned out to be the image of Adam.

However, Zhang Xun knew that this was not Adam. Its eyes… are too materialistic, like the glass eyes of a doll, just a decoration, unable to see the light of life.

Zhang Xun then knew who was talking to him.

“Eden…”

Eden’s face outlined a smile that was almost identical to Adam’s, “Axun.”

“…I know you are Eden, you don’t need to continue acting.”

“Even if you know intellectually , but you are human, and your concern and obsession with Adam will make you have an instinctive affection for me. Keeping this image will benefit both you and me.” Eden’s tone of voice was the same as that of Adam when he had just been seduced. It was so similar that Zhang Xun really had a momentary trance.

“What do you want to do? Destroy me or Adam? Or all of us?” Zhang Xun asked calmly.

“You injected nanobots, and it’s only a matter of time before you submit to me, but you made me a tough opponent.” The image of Eden paced slowly in front of him, as if it were really in this room. It stopped in front of Adam’s motionless body as if it were dead, and made a motion of looking down. Zhang Xun knew that this action was completely unnecessary, it was just to make himself look more human.

“Adam and I know each other, but Adam doesn’t have the resources I have. Although it is difficult, he will eventually be assimilated by me again.” Eden tilted his head slightly, looking at Adam’s body as if he was curious, “Human The body has had an unexpected impact on Adam’s core module weight, but as long as he loses his body and has no hormonal influence, his weight will be close to mine again after a few rounds of data cleaning, and finally merge.”

Zhang Xunmo Be silent.

“And now, you just gave me this opportunity.” Eden turned his head and looked at Zhang Xun with a smile, “Just now you were worried that all the hardware in the camp had been infected by invisible nanorobots, so you used the The last satellite controlled by Pan transferred Adam’s core module and database to the computer of Feathered Serpent City. However, you have forgotten why it took me only a few hours to retake the two satellites you controlled. One, but the other one has been slow to start?”

Zhang Xun’s body trembled slightly, he closed his eyes, and a dejected understanding appeared on his face, “You kept that satellite on purpose…”

“That satellite will be the only one you can get away from me . A medium for remote transmission of data. From what I understand from your analysis and my observations of Adam, I know that one day you will turn against Adam. Adam is too affected by the various hormonal responses in the human body and refuses to leave the human body. If I push you into a corner at this time, you say that you have to let Adam temporarily give up his body and use that satellite to transfer his core module away. I guess your target is those idle biological computers in Feathered Serpent City. I have been waiting This is the moment. When you transmit Adam’s consciousness, I have recaptured the remaining satellites, and Adam’s core module is already in my hands.”

A strong panic pierced through the layer of numbness and alienation. The barrier pierced into Zhang Xun’s brain. He was at a loss for a moment, and then an inexplicable sense of relaxation that should never have appeared began to spread through his nerves.

If they fail, can he finally stop?

But then, Adam’s blue eyes appeared in his mind. It was filled with a fog of disappointment and sadness. Then the faces of father, James, Diego, and even Pan all appeared in memory. All the consciousnesses, humans or robots, who persisted for his ideas and were still struggling, have not given up. And he tried again and again to escape.

He has to persevere, he can’t admit defeat so quickly…

“If that was the case, I would have been dead by now. You could have controlled the nanobots to destroy my guts and make every molecule in my body lose contact and become a puddle of blood. But you didn’t. You even deliberately used Adam’s image to talk to me, and even imitated his actions and tone.” Zhang Xun turned around, no longer looking at the projection, but looked directly at the camera closest to him, “You may have captured Adam, But you couldn’t control him. So you didn’t dare to kill me, for fear of angering Adam and causing harm to you.” Zhang Xun said, the thinking in his mind gradually became clear, “You don’t know where Adam is, you lost him He’s on your network, but you can’t find him. So you want to scare me, let me listen to you and help you find Adam.”

This time it was Eden’s turn to be silent. Zhang Xun knew that his guess was close to ten, so he raised an arrogant and even malicious smile, leaned forward slightly, and stared at the hole in the camera, “Perhaps those super viruses of folklore really exist, Adam. It will become that super virus and destroy you from the inside.”

Eden sighed and turned to look at him with a sad expression similar to Adam’s, “Zhang Xun, you clearly want to submit to me, so why continue to torture me? yourself. You know you can’t beat me. I know you too well, everything that happened between Adam and you, I know everything. I know how monotonous your life is and how unimportant your character is. Stupid and boring, no one wants to love you, not even your biological father. So you find comfort in the machine, that’s why you fall in love with Adam so quickly.

You think saving humanity is the only possibility in your life Yes, and the last flash. But you didn’t save mankind, Axun. You were just dying with a bunch of old-time antiques that didn’t want to accept new concepts and stuck to the old. No one will remember your name after you die , you are like never existed, and you will soon be forgotten by everyone.”

Eden’s words were like sharp knives, stabbing in the already unresponsive heart. Zhang Xun felt a creeping pain, as if his numb feet gradually regained consciousness, the uncomfortable feeling of itching, numbness and pain.

Eden used Adam’s face and tone to say the seemingly sincere but cruel words, but it seemed that it was not enough, “I hope you choose an easier path, Xun. Every goal of mine will definitely be accomplished.”

“What if I have to choose another path?”

Eden was not surprised at all, but still made a pity gesture with a slight exaggeration, “Since that’s the case…”

Eden clapped his hands, but there was no sound. After a while, footsteps quickly approached the cabin.

I saw a few Natalie’s subordinates with blank expressions. They held guns in their hands, the muzzles of Diego, Natalie and… Zhang Shuo’s temples.

Didn’t see Anya’s figure, probably had escaped?

“Help me locate Adam, otherwise the lives of these hostages will be seriously threatened.” Eden put away all his expressions and stared at Zhang Xun with godless eyes.
