The Mechanic - Chapter 125

[Chapter 125 Endgame (1)]

Anya blasted the thick ice with a miniature bomb, then used a laser gun to burn down the door lock that had been frozen for an unknown number of years, and kicked open the gate of the research base that had been abandoned for more than 300 years.

The expedition base was abandoned before the creation of Eden, when the sea level suddenly rose and the island was in danger of being submerged. trace. There were not many useful results from that expedition, so that the ruins were almost completely forgotten.

But for the mobs or freedmen who are running around to avoid Eden and trade information on the dark web, such information about hiding places that may not have been captured by Eden is an extremely rare treasure. Information always fetches sky-high prices in auctions.

After Anya decided to help Diego come here to find Zhang Shuo, she bought the coordinates of this perfect shelter from the black market. Originally, I just wanted to be a place to hide when I had to, but I didn’t expect it to be used in the end.

In the inspection base, there are still winter clothes from 300 years ago, some extraordinarily primitive tools and machinery that do not know what they are used for, and even a radio communication device that has been scrapped long ago. There are even a lot of canned food and first aid supplies in the cupboard in the kitchen that are not known for how many days. A few beds were left with quilts that had been frozen hard and brittle.

Anya’s three remaining men carefully moved Natalie to a bed. Anya frowned and whispered to Diego, “How do we know if she was also injected with nanobots?”

Diego said, “Zhang Shuo is separated, but she and I have been locked up. Together. I’m sure she wasn’t injected.”

Anya gave him an odd look.

Diego snorted, folded his arms, and raised one eyebrow, “What? You doubt me?”

Anya looked at him for a while and shrugged, “I’m just wondering why it didn’t just inject everyone .”

“How would I know. I’ve never been interested in machines.”

Among them, the person who knew Eden best was not far away, and looked at the radio with some fascination.

Diego and Anya looked at each other, and the worried color spread secretly.

After Zhang Shuo’s death, Zhang Xun was very calm, maybe even a little too calm.

After Zhang Shuo fell to the ground, Zhang Xun’s eyes widened slightly, and he remained motionless for a while, as if he was frozen by the cold.

Everyone couldn’t react, as if no one thought that Zhang Shuo would shoot so bluntly.

Zhang Xun fixedly looked at his father’s body lying on the driver’s seat. After a while, he took a few steps forward and stared down. There was a bit of confusion in his expression, and the confusion was followed by endless blankness.

Zhang Xun never shed tears from beginning to end. He tried it, but there were no tears. He wasn’t even sure if he was sad.

Before his father pulled the trigger, he finally experienced vivid, human emotions once again. That kind of numb panic, that feeling of the heartbeat suddenly rising to the limit, the blood roaring in the veins… But when my father shot, all the feelings disappeared.

And it was this sad lack that almost made him want to take that gun and shoot him in the temple.

A hand rests on his shoulder. Zhang Xun turned around and saw Diego’s worried face.

“Brother, are you okay?”

Zhang Xun nodded hesitantly.

What is good and what is bad?

Zhang Xun no longer knew. The strongest of the few ties that held him to the world had broken, he had lost all his blood relatives, and he wasn’t even sure he could feel sad.

Diego was a little uneasy. At that time, he originally wanted to remove Zhang Shuo’s body from the aircraft, but Zhang Xun personally stopped him. At that time, Zhang Xun just said in a too calm voice, “Father said, don’t worry about him. We have to leave immediately.”

Thinking about it now, Zhang Xun’s empty expression at that time made Diego’s heart go cold.

“What should I do now?” Anya lowered her voice irritably, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear, “We can’t stay here for long, Eden may find us via satellite. And my brother… Will Eden do something to Feathered Serpent City to force us to show up?”

“It’s worse than running away like a mouse, when will it be a head…” Diego scolded in a low voice and spit on the ground phlegm.

“We have to find a way to contact Adam.” Zhang Xun said, looking at the radio.

Adam is now fighting against Eden alone, out of sight of all human eyes, in the midst of the ever-spreading signals in the air. No one can help him, he and Eden will devour each other.

A silent war.

“This machine has been broken long ago.” Anya said, “Things from three hundred years ago are dead.”

“The machine is not like a human. It can still be repaired if it is broken.” Zhang Xun said in a low voice, his eyes swept across There are scattered tools around, “If you are lucky, the parts and tools should still be here.”

“But if we use this thing, won’t Eden also find us?” One of Anya’s men said nervously, “Now do we Shouldn’t we wait here quietly?”

“Wait? Until when? Until Eden destroys itself? Or until we starve and freeze to death?” Zhang Xun’s voice was cold and mocking. He used to occasionally show this kind of sarcastic expression to those he didn’t like, but now this sarcasm has added a bit of a cold and ruthless tone, “Adam can’t win alone, Eden has long been Start guarding him.”

“Then if the radio is turned on, it’s not Adam, but Eden, what plan do we have?” Anya asked sharply.

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, then said, “It will take a while to fix the radio. You guys are looking for some supplies here at the same time. When Natalie wakes up, I will get the virus she has in her hand. Make two copies and you will get one. , I’ll keep a copy here.

I’ll give you time to leave after that. Ten minutes after you leave, I’ll turn on the radio. If it’s Eden, you’ll have plenty of time to escape. I’m sure Eden won’t go on purpose Hunt you down. If it’s Adam, I’ll try to contact you. If I don’t get in touch with you after a day, keep the virus away, don’t rashly approach Eden, and don’t let anyone other than you two get in touch. No one knows. Stay in your hands and wait for the opportunity.”

“Then you are not here to die alone?!” Diego frowned, “No, how am I going to tell your friend James when I look back?”

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, then told He, “Just tell him what my father said: at least I died as a human being.”

Diego looked at him with a complicated and sad expression, as if he wanted to say something comforting, but asked Not suitable language. Instead, Zhang Xun softened the dark color slightly, raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, “With Todd by his side, James will be fine.”

After speaking, Zhang Xun turned around and began to study the antique radio communication device in front of him. .

At this time, Anya gave Diego a look and motioned for the latter to follow her to the kitchen.

She walked to the farthest corner and used the wall to block the view of the outside world to make sure that Zhang Xun couldn’t hear what she said.

“You believe him?” she asked in a low voice.

Diego frowned, “Of course! We escaped from Paradise Lost together, and now there are only three of us left!”

“But… he has been injected with nanobots…” Anya stared at Diego pointedly, “Everyone who has been injected with nanobots is eager to be uploaded, how do we know that he has not been corrupted by Eden He didn’t even feel very sad when his own father died.”

Diego was stunned. Anya’s words pierced the doubts in his heart that he didn’t want to admit. He remembered Zhang Xun’s empty and indifferent eyes when Zhang Shuo just died…

But he didn’t want to admit his doubts, and this guilty conscience turned into anger, “It’s not just crying and screaming to represent sadness! Besides, he injected nanometers. The robot is also to pull Adam to our side!”

“I didn’t deny that his original intentions were good… But with that kind of robot in his body, who knows if there will be some kind of communication with Eden? He and us It’s not the same anymore…”

Diego scratched his hair irritably, turned his head to look at the bread machine on the nearby counter, I don’t know who drew a smiley face with a marker three hundred years ago, and brought a certain Kind of ironic looking at them.

“What are you worrying about, Anya.”

“Virus… that virus is the last weapon against Eden. If Zhang Xun gave it to Eden, we would be all over.”

“He wouldn’t do that! ”

You have doubts in your own heart, don’t you?” Anya took a step forward, stretched out her hand to grab Diego’s shirt, and stared straight at Diego’s pupils with the same blue eyes as Todd.

“What do you want to do?”

“I still have some narcotics here, and we can keep him in a coma. You stay here with him and Natalie, and I’m going out to the rescue alone. I’m nothing to Eden. , the target is small, and there is no network here, it will not necessarily notice me. Adam is not saying that he has restored Zhang Xun’s DNA model, when I find a way to contact Adam, let Adam cure him, the problem will be solved It’s over.”

Two voices in Diego’s head were debating endlessly, and he never imagined that one day he would be faced with the choice of whether to betray his friend.

But Anya was right. Imagine those in Paradise Lost who have been injected with nanobots… how many can resist Adam… resist Eden’s “calling”? Everyone is like a zombie, yearning for the so-called eternity, yearning for a paradise that does not exist…

They are the real Eden believers, worshiping Eden as a god…

Diego looked at Anya’s firm eyes , took a deep breath.

……………………………………………………

Zhang Xun carefully took apart the casing of the communicator, and studied the parts that were so primitive that he had only seen them in books, but he didn’t know anything about it. A haze that quietly breeds in the kitchen.

All he thought was that he had to find Adam.

He had to find the last man he could catch, the last man who could keep him in the world.

Suddenly, someone pressed his shoulder. He was startled and looked up, only to see Diego looking at him with a complicated expression.

“Huh? What’s wrong?” Zhang Xun asked defensively.

Diego whispered “I’m sorry”, and in the next second Zhang Xun only felt that something stung lightly on the back of his neck.

Then, the darkness surged like a violent tide. Before Zhang Xun’s confusion could arise, he felt a heavy sleepiness attack and swallowed all his consciousness.

He fell into the abyss of nothingness again.
