Chapter 21
Pan: "The other party dropped an air bomb and destroyed a small piece of protective shield north of Eden, but no other flying objects were observed."
"Is the protective cover seriously damaged?" Zhang Xun asked anxiously. If the hole is too big to be repaired in time, Eden may take this opportunity to launch an air strike again, or even send troops to sneak into Paradise Lost.
"According to the data feedback sent back by the force field shield, it is not serious. It is expected to be repaired in about three days."
Three days... is not a short period of time.
"How's the situation at the lab?"
"The fire in the third laboratory, the storage room and the kitchen has been extinguished. My five cameras and two sensors were destroyed. Excluding unnecessary item repair costs, the cost of necessary repairs should be around 8,000 UWC about."
Eight thousand... In times of crisis like this, I'm afraid the round table will not allocate even one thousand to him...
His thoughts were interrupted, he suddenly felt something touching his chest...
Zhang Xun lowered his head, only to see that Adam was poking his chest with his left hand in a very strange way...
"What are you doing..." Zhang Xun's mouth twitched.
Adam touched it with an expression as if he had discovered the New World, and said, "Skin-to-skin contact between people can provide so much emotional support. It's amazing."
Zhang Xun only felt that his skin was covered in goosebumps, and he quickly grabbed the "claw" that was running around. Looking up, he saw Adam's disfigured face, as if he had crawled out of a pile of soot, only a pair of blue-gray eyes were still bright and dazzling, which made him want to laugh, "Don't make some strange movements. If you do this to other people , will be beaten."
Adam blinked innocently twice, "Why not? The feeling of having physical contact with you reassures me, I like it. Don't you like it?"
"...This kind of behavior is only for people who are very close to people."
"You and I are not close enough, so you don't like me to touch you." Adam nodded as if concluding, but said in confusion, "But why do I like to touch you? Is it because you are the human being I own The only person I can see after my body, so I have a strong emotional dependence on you?"
"..." Zhang Xun held back for a long time and could only say, "Let's discuss this issue later..."
Adam hummed obediently, remained silent for a moment, and continued to ask, "You don't seem to be as afraid as I am? You were even willing to risk the danger to protect me just now, why?"
How could Zhang Xun not be afraid? It's just that at this time, if both of them are afraid, they will panic. As for protecting Adam, even he himself was shocked. He never thought of himself as a brave person, and he asked himself that he didn't have the courage to do it. But this time for Adam, he didn't even hesitate at all. So he is also the kind of scientific lunatic who can risk his life for his own work? He didn't want to continue this topic, so he whispered, "It's not the first time I've experienced such bombing since I was a child, but it's the first time that air bombs have been used like this. They may want to blow you up. Just But they don't know you've become a human."
"In this case, the second wave of blows should come soon." Adam said.
Zhang Xun sat up straight and asked Adam seriously, "What will Eden do?"
"The air bomb opened the gap, I may send drones to continue the bombing, or let the mechanical soldiers rush in." Adam said without hesitation, "It is very likely that your escort has already started to attack the approaching armored vehicles and The mechs fired."
Zhang Xun knew that if it was true as Adam said, the casualties this time would be extremely heavy, and might even endanger the survival of Paradise Lost.
He stared at Adam, thinking quickly. Adam is far from reaching the stage of taming success. Even if he told him now, he didn't dare to believe everything. He told James that Adam should not be able to lie now, but in fact, Adam has learned so fast that he is not completely sure whether Adam now has the ability to control microexpressions.
Perhaps Adam made the situation serious in order to lure Zhang Xun into making the decision to release him from the Lab.
"Do you think Paradise Lost can be kept?" Zhang Xun asked.
"It's hard. In the past, Eden let you go because you weren't a real threat, and your activities have been decreasing in recent years. Eden's principle has always been to minimize sacrifices and conflicts. If you drive all of you to death, it will be the opposite. It may cause women to sympathize with men, and then become suspicious and dissatisfied with Eden. But now that you have managed to hijack me, this will definitely increase the threat value for Eden significantly."
Adam has begun to separate "Eden" from "I," which is a good sign.
"Difficult, but not impossible?" Zhang Xun asked.
"There is a certain probability that anything will happen or not happen. There is no absolute impossibility."
Zhang Xun then asked, "How can we keep Eden?"
Adam stopped talking now, just looked at him with wide blue eyes.
Zhang Xun clicked his tongue, "I don't think Eden will admit that you are part of it after discovering that you have become like this. Don't you want to live?"
