The Mechanic

Adam sat down next to him, gently resting Zhang Xun's head on his shoulder.

They are not safe. Although this is a refuge, with Eden's ability, it will take less than a day to detect the anomalies in the satellite system. It's just that Pan and the other two AIs are competing with Eden for the control of the extended robot, so Eden has no energy to check his space network.

He should start deploying the next plan as soon as possible while Eden has no time to take care of it. He needs to contact Lost Paradise, connect to Hengxiang, and then quickly transfer those human consciousnesses, lest Eden try to wrest control of Hengxiang from him.

But at this moment, he didn't want to move at all. From the beginning of his birth to the present, he seems to have entered a state of not wanting to think for the first time. Zhang Xun leaned on his shoulder, and the skin touched by his clothes seemed to be heating up. He remained motionless, as if turned into a statue, just wanting Zhang Xun to lean on his shoulder for a while longer.

Zhang Xun probably wouldn't believe that those jerky and terrified reactions when he was just being tranced were not faked. In fact he told the truth far more often than he concealed or lied. Not everything is conspiracy, not everything is a lie.

During the bombing, he felt the strong and overwhelming fear that human beings instinctively produce when their lives are threatened, and he also felt Zhang Xun's protection and the tight, also full of fear, but for him The embrace of bravery brought him a sense of security. Knowing that Zhang Xun is just a mortal, so fragile that a single shrapnel can kill him, Adam suddenly felt relieved. It seems that as long as he is held by Zhang Xun, he is safe.

Since then, he has longed for Zhang Xun's touch, even if it's just casual fingertips when passing things, even if it's just pats on the shoulder or holding his hand to teach him how to use tools. Every touch would light up a small flame in his heart. But Zhang Xun always avoided unnecessary physical contact with him at first, which made him always a little... unwilling.

Especially when he saw the way Zhang Xun and James got along, that unwillingness even began to turn into jealousy.

He wants more, he wants Zhang Xun to hug him again, like in the bombing.

Later he also finally got what he wanted, and even more than that. Zhang Xun would give him the intimate contact he had never given to anyone, would take the initiative to kiss him, and sleep with him at night. He gradually got used to it, and gradually forgot how much he longed for this touch. So he thought it was just a stage of adaptation to the human body, which he had already passed.

It wasn't until he lost it again that he realized that he was still at that stage, still yearning, constantly yearning. But the distance between him and Zhang Xun suddenly became so far away that even the simplest touch was impossible.

out of reach.

Adam raised his head and looked at a few twinkling stars through the gaps between the leaves of the tropical plants. Snake-like panic quietly breeds.

If I hesitated for a hundredth of a second today, it would be impossible for Zhang Xun to sleep on his shoulder at this moment.

Zhang Xun no longer exists.

From then on, he will exist alone in this universe, drifting with the current in the long river of time. He may collect all the image data left by Zhang Xun, use the memory in his own mind to create an AI that simulates Zhang Xun, and he may even make it so lifelike that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. He may also use Zhang Xun's remaining DNA to clone a new Zhang Xun. But he knew in his heart that the human being he fell in love with for the first time was gone, and there would never be another one in the future.

For a moment, he suddenly understood what Zhang Xun said to Eden (Eden shared it with Adam in the subsequent communication).

For humans, an individual cannot be copied. Even if every piece of DNA and every piece of code is exactly the same, for us, it is still different. Totally different.

Adam shivered, as if he wanted to make sure of something, he held Zhang Xun's hand with some trepidation, feeling the pulse beating from under the skin of his wrist.

Chapter 115 Sacrificial Lamb (6)

Zhang Xun was awakened by the smell of food. He opened his eyes in a daze, thinking it was Pan who brought the breakfast, and said vaguely, Pan...what smells so good?

I'm not Pan.

Zhang Xun hummed, and then realized the meaning of this sentence, and his mind became clear as he gradually got rid of sleepiness. He rubbed his eyes, and when his vision became clearer, he saw Adam squatting not far in front of him, placing a few small fish on a stone, his hands hanging above the fish, and the palms emanating a hot glow . The body of the processed fish was slightly burnt, exuding a charcoal-grilled aroma with a slight fishy smell.

Zhang Xun yawned, stood up from the ground, and brushed the dirt off his clothes, Where did you get the fish?

I caught it in the sea. Adam said it as a matter of course.

Zhang Xun is a little hard to imagine the scene of Adam rolling up his trousers and catching fish by the sea...
