Chapter 125
He changed his clothes with a heavy heart and came out, only to see Adam walking in from the door with two cups of hot tea and two plates of sandwiches prepared by Pan, and Alloy followed him with his tail up high.
"Thank you, Axun." Adam said in a tone as if an adult was rewarding a child for his hard work.
Zhang Xun didn't even have chuīgān hair, so he sat down on the chair in silence and took a sip of hot tea.
"If you don't dry your hair, it may increase the chance of migraines." Adam said as he stood up and went to the bathroom to get a towel. Standing behind Zhang Xun, he began to wipe his hair.
"I will!" Zhang Xun, who felt like a cat being brushed carelessly by its owner, tried to grab the towel, but Adam avoided it. Adam smiled and said, "Let me do it. I like the smell of your hair."
"...You mean the smell of shampoo? It's the same as the one you use."
"No, it's the smell of your hair, and the smell of your body. It's probably because the first thing I smelled after I was sedated was your smell, so your smell became my reference to the feeling of being alive. First impressions. When I smell you, I know I'm alive."
...If this passage is not spoken in the realistic tone unique to artificial intelligence, it should be very romantic...
But Zhang Xun seemed to hear a trace of... regret.
His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly turned around and grabbed Adam's hand, "Do you know something? What would Eden do?"
Adam lowered his eyes, the blue eyes that always lacked a bit of humanity's mundane atmosphere contained sadness and a trace of fear.
What is he afraid of? Afraid that Eden will destroy Paradise Lost?
"Paradise Lost is not so easy to be captured. Otherwise, we would not have survived for more than a hundred years." Zhang Xun tried to comfort Adam, trying to tell him that they would survive.
But Adam lifted up his beautiful right hand with metallic luster, and carefully brushed away a strand of wet hair in front of Zhang Xun's eyes, "What Eden wants to do, I will definitely be able to do it in the end. The reaction of the round table, your The reaction, the reaction of everyone, is in its calculations. And in my speculations."
"You mean, it knows the Round Table won't agree? So it doesn't really want to get rid of you?"
"No, it really wants to kill me. But it understands people better than you, at least the laws of human group sexual behavior." Adam hesitated for a while, as if he was not sure how much to tell Zhang Xun, but continued, "Forty-eight hours , Such a long time is not for the round table to make decisions, but for everyone to make decisions. The rational analysis you told the round table, not all the people of Paradise Lost can understand and are willing to understand."
Zhang Xun tried his best to understand Adam's words, "You mean, someone will try to kill you because of fear? Don't worry, there is an army outside to protect you and me, ordinary people can't get in. Besides, I also released some bugs , detecting the conditions of all nearby streets. If any suspicious person approaches, we will know immediately."
Adam was silent for a moment, squatted down, looked at Zhang Xun and smiled, "Thank you for taking care of me, protecting me, and giving me such beautiful hands. I like being a human very much."
The sudden change of subject, coupled with Adam's tone, made Zhang Xun even more frightened, "What the hell do you know! If you don't tell me, how will I know what to do!"
"You don't have to do anything." Because all you can do is already done. Adam was generally reassuring, and with a smile, he picked up the plate containing the sandwiches and handed it to Zhang Xun, "Everything will be fine."

Eight hours before the forty-eight-hour time limit, all the light on the slowly rotating, seemingly harmless aircraft hovering in the night sky suddenly turned red. Immediately afterwards, countless red flames tore through the night sky, crashing into the protective shield of Paradise Lost like the fire of punishment from God.
In an instant, the sky outside the protective shield disappeared, only burning red. The ultra-high-temperature, high-energy ray that can instantly vaporize all creatures it comes into contact with ripples along the protective cover like a sea of fire.
The ground trembled, all the shield launchers kept rotating, sending out shock waves. All the civilians were evacuated to the air defense shelters in each district, anxiously listening to the bombing incidents from the distant surface.
"It's obviously not forty-eight hours yet!" Zhang Xun rushed to the common room at the end of the corridor, and looked through the window in horror at the purgatory-like crimson sky.
Eden really backed down!
Pan said, "Do you want to activate the protection system?"
"Activate, of course activate!" Zhang Xun's mind was scattered, and cold sweat broke out in his palms. But there was nothing he could do except watch here.
"This is a warning." Adam followed behind him, walking slowly through the long and quiet corridor, "If you don't show your strength, humans won't know how to be afraid."
At the same time he finished speaking, the first ray of high-energy radioactive ray broke through the shield, destroying the shield launcher in the fifth area, opening a gap. Immediately afterwards, countless rays gathered together like a red sky pillar, like lava pouring down, pouring into the position of No. 3 air defense shelter in the fifth area precisely in an instant.
