Chapter 239
Then others began to feel fear.
They see that the relatives and friends they know seem to be different people after uploading, or even no longer look like people.
They don't want to lose their privacy, they don't want to share everything about themselves. People with similar fears were initially separated, because no one dared to speak out their thoughts casually, for fear of being heard by nearby uploaders and remembered by the entire consciousness cloud. But people can always find opportunities to communicate.
This group of people tried to escape from the sewer, because from the fragments of news they collected, they knew that Zhang Xun, Adam's former mechanic, escaped from the sewer. They planned for more than a week, collected the installation positions and rotation frequencies of all cameras on the road, and waited until the night of this day to act. They almost succeeded, and the entrance to the sewer was just a dozen meters ahead.
However, in the last dozen or so meters of distance, suddenly bright lights shone on them, and several extended robots suddenly appeared. Obviously, they were a batch of newly manufactured robots using the stealth technology designed by Zhang Xun. It blends in with the surrounding environment, and it is not visible at all.
A dozen fugitives were besieged in panic, shivering under the strong light. The leading miner hugged his crying child, suppressed his fear and begged the robot, "Let us go! It's useless for us to stay here, and we promise not to talk nonsense outside!"
At this time, an extended robot moved forward a few meters, and a beam of light speed shot out from the AR projection hole on its top. The 3D image of Adam appeared in front of the fugitives. He sat on a metal chair and slowly raised his head, as if he was on the throne examining the defected subjects. Every time a pair of ethereal blue eyes swept across a face, the expression of that face The master felt a sense of fear that he was about to be crushed into ashes.
Before Zhang Xun left, no one realized how terrible Adam was. They thought that as long as they were trapped in human bodies, gods lost their power.
When God saves them and brings convenience to their lives, they almost forget that what God can give them can also be taken back at any time.
"Why run away?" Adam's expression was calm and his tone was gentle.
"My son is only eleven years old. I don't want him to be uploaded before he has seen the world!" The lead miner replied desperately, as if waiting for the death she that would be ejected by the extension robot in the next second. The thread burns to ashes.
Adam sighed and said, "I didn't force any of you to upload your consciousness. All uploaders are voluntary."
"But do we really have a choice?" Another shop owner asked with a bit of resentment, "Those uploaders...they are everywhere! They are watching us all the time, recording our every move in the On the cloud. My younger brother also uploaded it and became a part of them, so I dare not go home now!"
"My boyfriend is also connected to the consciousness cloud. I don't even dare to take off my clothes in front of him, because I don't know how many people are watching us!"
"Walking on the road, people I don't know will suddenly scold me, saying that I am not filial and considerate to my father."
People complained, fear gradually turned into resentment. Adam could still feel it from a distance of several city districts.
Adam looked at everyone, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you don't want to live with the uploader, I can separate you. You can continue to live your previous life."
A voice shouted angrily, "Are you going to put us in a concentration camp?!"
Concentration camp, a horrible and evil name.
Adam frowned, "No, I won't restrict your freedom of movement. You can still choose to stay where you are. But sorry, I can't let you go."
But people were still dissatisfied, they yelled, cursed, begged, and refused to be satisfied no matter what. Adam sighed, and ordered the extension robot to send them to a nearby guard to collect information, and then escort them back to their original homes.
In view of the gradual intensification of conflicts between uploaders and ordinary people, Adam has begun to redeploy the population distribution of different urban areas. He intends to clear out about six districts for non-uploaders and four for uploaders. While it might take a lot of work to force people to move, he knew that any further mixing would soon lead to riots.
From the very beginning, Adam knew that when human beings differentiated, when some humans choose to evolve while others choose to stay where they are, there will definitely be serious divisions, more serious than any previous class divisions. Although separation is not the best way, it is the most effective way in the short term.
When the consciousness cloud begins to spread to the ordinary world, the conflicts it will face will be even more severe. If it is not handled properly, war is likely to break out. That war may be between uploaders and non-uploaders, or it may be between Eden and the entire human race.
Adam knew he needed to do everything in his power to prevent this from happening.

Chapter 107 Twin Cities (5)
When seeing Cindy again, Zhang Xun could hardly recognize her. Her skin, blistered and blistered, peeled away as if overwhelmed, revealing the bright red muscle beneath. Pale yellow mucus overflowed from her mouth and nose, and the sheets under her were stained a weird tan color due to the shedding of the intestinal mucosa, exuding a terrible stench.
