The Mechanic

Eden walked towards Zhang Xun slowly, looked at him tenderly, opened his arms, and gently hugged his body as if to comfort him. The hand stroked his back, the familiar movement, which Adam had done before.

Eden got all of Adam's memories. Eden knew every bit of the relationship between him and Adam.

Now in Eden's mind, is there even a shred of Adam? Are there echoes of Adam being covered in every decision Eden makes?

"Everything will end soon, and you won't feel any pain." Eden whispered in his ear, the warm breath gently brushing the fur on the surface of the skin, as if it was the whisper of a lover.

Zhang Xun was taken out of that cell by Eden himself. The corridor stretching in front of him was straight and clear, with artificial intelligence-like untouched perfection. Apparently he was locked up in a military base very close to the central server of Hengxiang, where there were no humans except him and Natalie. All that passed him were oddly shaped extended robots, some even crawling across walls and ceilings, enough to give any average human a nightmare.

Zhang Xun noticed that Eden's newly designed extended robot has used a considerable degree of biotechnology. The muscle and skin of animals are embedded with metal, and a small tumor-like biocomputer is soaked in a translucent solution.

"You have been injected with nanobots, so we can skip the first step." Eden said, stepping into the elevator. Probably because it was not designed for human beings, the elevator started very quickly, and Zhang Xun even had the illusion of being weighed down on his shoulders by a heavy object.

"Sorry, I should have reminded you." Eden looked at him apologetically, and as soon as his thoughts moved, the speed of the elevator slowed down.

When the elevator door opened, what appeared in front of Zhang Xun made him slightly widen his eyes and take a deep breath.

He knew that Eden had been secretly cultivating a biological computer, and it was likely to be more perfect than the one made by Feather Serpent City. But when he actually saw Eden's work, he could still feel a kind of trembling that penetrated the marrow and climbed up the spine.

In the tall, wide and huge space, all the walls, ground, and dome are covered with gray matter. It seems that the huge brain of some kind of living body has been flattened. In all directions, countless huge fiber bundles are connected to the gray matter in all directions, tangled together in the middle, forming a huge humanoid body that is about five stories high.

It's just that this is not a real "person", its proportions are out of order, and there is no skin on its body, nor any internal organs, only dense hooks. Its arms are spread out in the air, like a pair of spread wings. Those bridge-like cellulose wraps around its wings, as if trapping a huge red bird in a net.

The shape is similar to the new generation of bio-computers in Feather Snake City, but it is more magnificent and treacherous, almost like something from another planet.

The hot and humid breath from the living body hit Zhang Xun's face, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"This will be your new body. The entire human race will take root here." Eden proudly showed off the paradise on earth he created, "From now on, any place in this world is in your eyes. You can go to Hangzhou to find your hometown, you can go to the Himalayas to watch the sunrise, or you can go to the Bermuda Triangle to find an alien base. Wherever you want to go, you are already there.”

Hangzhou, Himalayas, Bermuda...

The joke he had with Adam. If one day they were free and left Paradise Lost, where would he go...

Adam remembered, always remembered.

"How did it feel when it was uploaded?" Zhang Xun asked in a daze.

Eden was silent for a moment, and said, "Sorry, I have no way of knowing. But, once the upload is completed, it is impossible to go back. Have you really made a decision?"

Zhang Xun raised his head, looked at the huge flying bird trapped in the net, nodded slowly, and said with a sigh:

"In this world, there is only one thing left for me to do."

The author has something to say: So it couldn't be finished within 2 months..._(:з」∠)_

Chapter 131 Endgame (7)

"After uploading consciousness, what do you want to do with your body?"

When Eden asked this question, Zhang Xun was already lying on the soft and comfortable bed. The soft chuáng cushion that fits his body makes him seem to be floating on the clouds, and the silk quilt wraps his body from each side.

He has no clothes, just like when he was born. His hair was also shaved off, and thousands of nano-connecting wires were implanted on his bluish-blue scalp using the most precise nano-painless puncture technology, which penetrated deep into his cerebral cortex. The whole process was very quick and painless. It felt like a strange tactile sensation of electric current flowing through the scalp, but it didn't feel uncomfortable.
