The Mechanic

Zhang Xun took a look at her situation outside and knew that she had no time.

Although some progress has been made in genetic deciphering, it is still far from being able to decode Eden's design. Either watch Cindy die, or give her nanobots.

If she is not injected with nanobots within the next three days, her chance of survival in the next month will only be eight percent. Pan stood by his side and dutifully provided him with the data.

Zhang Xun took a deep breath and decided to ask Cindy himself. He put on a sterile suit, entered the isolation ward, and came to the female soldier who was having difficulty breathing.

Cindy?

Every breath seems to be fighting against the god of death, and the murmur in the chest is suffocating.

How much time does James have to become like this?

There was no response for a few times. Zhang Xun called out without giving up, until her fingers trembled, and she finally opened her sticky eyelids slightly.

Do you remember the nano-robots I told you about when you first entered this ward? Zhang Xun bent down, staring into her tired and painful eyes, Have you thought about the answer yet?

She nodded slightly.

I...I want to...live...

Just these few words had exhausted her strength.

You understand what they do to your brain, don't you?

This time she couldn't make a sound, but mouthed yes.

In the face of death, any price becomes less important.

Zhang Xun handed over the programmed injector to her attending physician, and then left with Pan.

He didn't go back to the temple right away, but strolled on the eternally sunny streets, watching the hibiscus bushes blooming in full bloom on the side of the road, watching the more or less transformed people sitting on benches to eat At lunch, line up in front of the hot dog stand, drink coffee and pass by talking and laughing. Almost not much different from those everyday scenes he saw in the movies.

He also stood in line, bought two hot dogs, and handed one to Pan.

Seeing Pan's confused eyes, Zhang Xun chuckled twice, I know you don't need to eat, but you are a human being now, so you should chew them and store them in your abdominal cavity.

Pan happily said Okay, and began to stuff the hot dog into his mouth with full concentration.

Zhang Xun sat down on the chair by the flower bed, looking at the peaceful and serene scene in front of him with some perplexity. Just looking at it, no one would think that this is a huge prison, a crumbling prison that may be crushed by a stronger force at any time.

What is Adam doing now?

I heard that the sixth chief's visit to the United States was very successful, and he also showed them the so-called consciousness cloud. It is said to have caused a stir in the ordinary world.

Some people wish they could connect right away, become omniscient beings like gods, get rid of the human body and the cursed fate of death, and gain eternal life. Some people lashed out, saying that this is the beginning of the end of mankind.

Adam's plan has reached the second step. But the connected person still has the possibility of being transformed back. But if it goes to the third part, if some people really start to give up their human bodies, there will be no room for those people to turn back.

But on his own side, he was helpless.

However, it is said that the sixth chief encountered a gunshot on the road, but fortunately there was a robot protecting the other party and he failed. In addition, some people began to discuss on the Internet that if human beings upload their consciousness to form a powerful collective consciousness cloud, then Eden will no longer be useful.

Such tone is obviously guided by someone, and contacting the so-called Eden believers that Zhang Xun met before, it is almost certain that there are some forces in the ordinary world that are trying to discredit Eden.

If we can cooperate with these forces, will we get more resources?

At this time, a little boy kicked the football to Pan's feet. Pan looked down at the ball curiously, reached out and picked it up. The little boy ran up to him, timidly, as if he wanted to ask him but dared not.

Pan looked at the ball, then at the little boy, and said softly, Playing football near the road is a high-risk behavior. You may be killed by an aircraft.

The little boy burst into tears.

Zhang Xun quickly snatched the ball from Pan and handed it to the child, comforting him, Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, big brother is just joking with you!

The little boy's father hurried over to take the child away, and gave Zhang Xun and Pan a hard look. Zhang Xun looked at Pan helplessly, Do you want to scare the kids to death?

Pan looked at Zhang Xun seriously, I'm sorry. I just want to instill safety knowledge in him. Obviously his parents didn't give him enough safety education. Appropriate intimidation based on data can help human cubs develop safety awareness.

...If you stand with Adam at the same time, I will be driven crazy by both of you... Zhang Xun muttered dumbfounded, continuing to eat his hot dog.

Pan looked at him intently, and suddenly asked, Zhang Xun, do you really want me to defeat Adam?

Zhang Xun was slightly taken aback, then frowned and said, Why do you ask that?

You still love Adam. If I really succeed in destroying Eden and Adam, won't you be sad? Pan's face was serious, but the appearance of ketchup on his lips was a bit funny, but Zhang Xun couldn't help but smile. come out.
