The Mechanic

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 frozen in the cold.

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

Zhang Xun stared fixedly 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 that confusion was followed by endless blankness.

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

He finally experiences vivid, human emotions once again before his father pulls the trigger. That kind of panic that made the hands and feet go weak, the feeling that the heartbeat suddenly climbed to the limit, and the blood roared in the veins... But when the father shot, all the feelings disappeared.

And it was this sad lack that almost made him want to take that gun and shoot his own sun xué.

A hand on his shoulder. Zhang Xun turned his head 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 knows. The strongest of the few threads that held him to the world had snapped, he'd lost all his blood, and he wasn't even sure he could feel sorry.

Diego was a little uneasy. At that time, he originally wanted to move Zhang Shuo's body out of the aircraft, but was stopped by Zhang Xun himself. Zhang Xun just said in an overly 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 still made Diego's heart shudder.

"What should we do now?" Anya lowered her voice a little 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 through the satellite. And my brother... Will Eden do something to Feathered Snake City to force us to show up?"

"I've been escaping like this. I'm worse than a street mouse. When will I be tall..." Diego cursed in a low voice, spitting on the ground.

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

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

A silent war.

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

"Machines are not like humans. They can still be repaired if they break down." Zhang Xun whispered, his eyes scanning the scattered tools around him. "If you're 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 subordinates said nervously, "Shouldn't we wait here quietly now?"

"Wait? Wait until when? Wait until Eden destroys itself? Or wait until we starve to death and freeze to death?" Zhang Xun's voice was cold and mocking. He used to occasionally show this kind of mocking expression to those he didn't like, but now this kind of mockery has added a bit of coldness and ruthlessness, "Adam can't win alone, Eden has already Start guarding against him."

"Then if you turn on the radio and it's Eden instead of Adam, what plan do we have?" Anya asked sharply.

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, and 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 in her hand. Make two copies, and you take one , I save a copy here.

After that I will give you time to leave. Ten minutes after you leave, I'll turn on the radio. If it is Eden that attracts you, you will have plenty of time to escape. I'm sure Eden wouldn't go out of his way to hunt you down. If Adam is attracted, I will find a way to contact you. If I don't get in touch with you after a day, you put away the virus, don't approach Eden rashly, and don't let anyone know except the two of you. Keep it in hand and bide your time. "

"Then you are not here alone to die?!" Diego frowned, "No, how can I treat your friend James later?"

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, then told him, "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 to comfort him, but he couldn't find the right words. Instead, Zhang Xun slightly softened the dark color, 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 carefully study the antique radio communication device in front of him.

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

She went to the farthest corner and used the wall to block the view from the outside, making sure that Zhang Xun couldn't hear what she said.

"You trust 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 from Paradise Lost!"
