The Mechanic

After Adam's scouting instrument was completed, Zhang Xun asked James to put on his newly developed stealth combat suit and a helmet made of the same material, and then sprayed a circle of pheromone reagent made by the Department of Chemistry on his body. James walked around the scouting instrument three times, but the red warning light on the scouting instrument did not light up.

It really works! James laughed loudly, his voice was a bit dull but full of excitement from the communication port on the mask, Then we can swagger through the mechanical soldiers?

We still have to be cautious. We don't know if Eden will upgrade the mechanical soldiers after the God's descending plan. Compared with the excitement of the pharmacists, researchers, and mechanics around him, he seemed full of concerns, You still have to Try to avoid the mechanical soldiers, it is best to maintain a safe distance of at least two hundred yards.

Okay! I listen to you! James gave Zhang Xun a big hug, You are the hero of our hunting group! Zhang Xun also smiled and patted him on the back, but through James' shoulder, Seeing Adam frowned slightly.

Zhang Xun pretended not to see anything, and broke free from James' bear hug, I have to finish writing the use report quickly, and see you at the headquarters this afternoon.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xun rushed to the headquarters with the report he had finished during lunch time. Zhang Shuo only had half an hour to see him at 2:30, so he had to run all the way there. When I arrived at the headquarters, I was already sweating. He waited in Zhang Shuo's office for fifteen minutes before Zhang Shuo hurried in. He didn't even look up at him when he entered the room, and picked up the new battle suit and pheromone spray that Zhang Xun had put on the table evaluation report. Zhang Shuo flipped through the paper quickly, and his sharp eyes quickly scanned the rows of forms.

After a while, he finally said, That detection device was made by Adam.

Yes.

How do we know if he cut corners and deliberately misled us?

Commander, Adam has passed the assessment.

Zhang Shuo raised his head and glanced at his son who was standing respectfully. Then he threw the report in his hand on the table, sat down on the leather armchair, leaned back and examined Zhang Xun, and tapped the table with his fingertips a few times.

Okay, you test a few more times, and if the results are consistent, I will approve the hunting group to use these equipment next month.

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his father to agree so straightforwardly this time, that he didn't come up with any more problems to make things difficult for him. He quickly answered yes, and then planned to run away quickly.

But when he was about to open the door to go out, Zhang Shuo suddenly said, I heard people say that you and that Adam are very close?

Zhang Xun's shoulders stiffened, and he turned to look at his father.

Zhang Shuo didn't show any expression, it was hard to see if he was being sarcastic or angry.

I'm his mechanic, and I'm in charge of controlling all his actions, that's all. Zhang Xun replied calmly.

Preferably. Zhang Shuo picked up the pen on his desk and began to review another document, You are weak and trustworthy, and you like things like machines. I hope you remember that what you are facing is A thing that was able to play with billions of human beings among its leaders a hundred years ago, sometimes you thought you were in control, but you have actually become its puppet unknowingly. In short, remember your position.

Zhang Xun lowered his eyes and replied respectfully, I understand.

Zhang Shuo ignored him. He left in a hurry.

Rumors... Rumors have spread against them. He must pay more attention to his and Adam's behavior in front of people, and don't follow the truth.

Now he began to regret that he chose such a beautiful body for Adam... A good appearance will always attract disputes...

However, this was just the beginning. When the female pheromone spray was included in the munitions, many soldiers blew up their nests.

Let us spray women's scent today, maybe tomorrow we will all be turned into women!

Fuck, why don't you just give us skirts and wigs?

What good ideas can these artificial intelligences have! They are obviously boiling frogs in warm water and slowly assimilating us!

Such extreme and indignant speeches were circulated everywhere in the barracks. Interestingly, most of the angry ones were ordinary soldiers, not members of the hunting regiment who used the spray most often. Hunters know how dangerous it can be out there, and anything that increases their chances of survival is good for them.

Zhang Xun completely ignored those mindless comments, stepped up and perfected his new hunting uniform, and handed it over to the military factory for production. After that, I have to go to the factory to check the quality from time to time. I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to eat. In this way, he and Adam have fewer chances to meet. Most of the time, Adam stays in his own room, doing some strength training by himself, and then occasionally plays chess with Pan, and speaks some AI language inadvertently Give Pan a reference.

Soon, one month's time is up. The hunting group put on Zhang Xun's new battle uniform, sprayed with pheromone spray, and was ready to go behind the huge city gate in the first district.

Zhang Xun stuffed a few bugs and a microscopic mirror into James' hands, If the bugs detect mechanical soldiers, you can see them in the microscopic mirror. I'd rather walk a little longer than avoid them, you know?

James, who was wearing a helmet and hadn't put down his goggles, smiled brightly at him, Don't worry! I'm not a rookie who went out for the first time!
