Chapter 121 Descendants (5)
Zhang Xun stopped outside the door of the tent, staring fixedly at the plastic airtight door, his legs seemed to be filled with lead.
Didn't he always want to see his father again? Why are you so... scared now?
Adam was beside him, holding his hand gently, as if to give him strength.
At some point, Adam has been so good at doing this extremely human behavior at the right moment. This caused a faint sense of melancholy to arise in Zhang Xun's dry soul.
Natalie smiled at them and pressed the button to open the door. The airtight door retracted to both sides, and a gust of warm air came out from the tent.
Several people were waiting, looking up at the same time.
Zhang Shuo was obviously older than in Zhang Xun's memory, his originally straight back was slightly bent, his usually tough and hale eyes were full of fatigue, and his temples were also stained with frost. The moment he saw Zhang Xun, some suppressed emotion flashed in his eyes, and he stood up unconsciously.
Zhang Xun felt a slight stabbing pain somewhere in his chest, but all the boiling emotions that he thought he should have were all pale and lacking.
His eyes swept around, and he was a little stunned to see Todd's sister Anya, and... Diego?
Why is Diego here? When did he escape from Feather Serpent City? How did he meet his father? And why is Anya there? Shouldn't they and the Eden Cult represented by Natalie be sworn enemies?
And Zhang Shuo looked at his only son, and watched the slightest expression change on Zhang Xun's face, and he realized that something was wrong.
What was missing from Zhang Xun...but for a while he couldn't tell what was wrong. He walked towards Zhang Xun, the whole process didn't last long, but gradually, he discovered the problem.
Zhang Xun looked at him without any waves.
Zhang Shuo always knew that his son adored him and always wanted his affirmation. When Zhang Xun looked at him since he was a child, there was always a starlight in his eyes that was half admiration and half fear. He didn't know it, but Zhang Shuo saw it clearly.
But Zhang Shuo still hesitated to give even one sentence of affirmation or praise.
And now, that light is gone. Zhang Xun looked at his father plainly, as if he was just looking at an old man who had nothing to do with him.
A dull pain, a pain that Zhang Shuo thought he would not have, began to spread between the heart and lungs.
"What did you do to him?" Zhang Shuo's stern voice sounded, and his still sharp eyes suddenly locked on Adam beside Zhang Xun.
Guilt eroded Adam's mind like a quietly growing mold. Zhang Shuo's anger made him flinch slightly.
He was not afraid of Zhang Shuo at all before, but now, when he thinks that Zhang Shuo is Zhang Xun's father, he feels... inexplicably guilty.
"He injected himself with nanobots." Adam said in a flat tone, as if reporting to his superiors, "I'm still trying to figure out how to develop an antidote, so I need..."
"Why did he do such a thing? You forced him?" Zhang Shuo said, his hand already touched the gun at his waist.
"Dad." Zhang Xun finally spoke. This word made Zhang Shuo silent, and looked at Zhang Xun with a stubborn expression of worry but managed to maintain calm.
Zhang Xun said, "It's not his fault. It was I who forced him to break with Eden."
"Are you crazy?!" Zhang Shuo said angrily, "You should know best what that shitty robot can do to your brain!"
"I'll fix him," Adam said loudly, "so I need your DNA sample."
Zhang Shuo stared at Adam, as if he was about to throw a heavy punch at any moment, hitting that bright and innocent face.
This robot... killed his son, killed them all...
he really wants to...
"Dad, are you injured? How did you meet Diego?" Zhang Xun said, his searching eyes fell on Diego and Anya.
The leaders of the villages and towns who were attacked by the Eden Cult appeared in the tent of the leader of the Eden Cult. Could it be possible that Eden becoming a public enemy of the world can really connect all the originally hostile forces?
Diego was holding a bottle of beer in his hand, staring at Adam with vigilance and hostility, while Anya was sitting on the armrest of his chair, staring at the legendary compound man with the same half-guarded, half-uneasy expression . Zhang Xun noticed that Diego and Anya were very close, and it seemed that the relationship was much closer than before.
Diego sighed, grinned at Zhang Xun, put down the bottle and walked over, giving the mechanic a big hug.
Zhang Xun passively accepted his hug, his body seemed a little stiff, and he didn't respond or avoid it.
"After you and your three robots locked Feathered Snake City, I tried to escape. I originally wanted to bring James with me, but Todd said that was unrealistic, so I came out and found a way to rescue soldiers. I After we came out, we ran into Anya who was trying to sneak into Feathered Snake City to find Todd. But Eden kept chasing us, so Lucille sent us here secretly, and met Commander Zhang at the free people. "
"How is James?"
