Chapter 175

During the escape, Zhang Xun paid careful attention and indeed found some cameras.

But why wasn't the alarm triggered?

In this regard, James' answer was that Fernandez helped them hack into the surveillance system here, and replaced it with some pre-recorded images. But Zhang Xun felt that it should not be so simple.

In the system set by Adam, there is absolutely no loophole to exploit.

It's just that he doesn't have time to think too much now. Even James and Diego would be in danger if they were caught.

Enter the drainage system from the shelter, and then touch the drainage system to near his apartment in the third district. The intricate underground pipelines are like a labyrinth, and several times they walked into a dead end blocked by iron railings, and if they were not careful, they would fall into a ditch.

The only source of light is the lights on the helmets of two soldiers, and the two lonely beams of light tear through the darkness that has been neglected for an unknown period of time.

When they arrived in the third district, which was about close to Zhang Xun's apartment, they climbed out of a well. It was three o'clock in the morning, the streets were dark and empty, and the energy-saving street lights were all turned off.

Zhang Xun has already told James the location and password of the safe of the core module of Zangpan. The two soldiers turned on the stealth function on their battle suits, quickly crossed the street, and ran to the residential building where Zhang Xun's apartment was located.

Zhang Xun waited at the bottom of the well, pacing back and forth anxiously. He recalled the process of their escape over and over again, and always felt that it was too smooth.

Like someone was deliberately trying to let him go.

Is someone in the round table secretly opposing Adam? or...

No, it couldn't be Adam. He poses a serious threat to him and his plan. As an AI that does everything with a purpose, Adam will never do such a thing that violates logic and common sense.

But what if Adam had been reverse-affected by his human body?

Various possibilities lingered in Zhang Xun's mind, as if several voices were arguing loudly.

Should he stay? Is there room for Adam to maneuver?

But what if all this is his own wishful thinking? How could he convince Adam if Adam never came to see him for the rest of the time?

If what he wants to say about Adam has already been thought of, but he doesn't care about the too "human" details that Zhang Xun is worried about, he doesn't care about the ablation of individuals and the collective consciousness that is likely to go to extremes... If Adam only cares about human beings gaining eternity If there is anything more important than happiness than happiness, then no matter what he says, it will only interfere with Adam.

From the very beginning, from the moment Eden was created, Adam's actions at this time were inevitable.

Zhang Xun made a decision, he still had to leave. Here he will never be able to grasp the opportunity and take the initiative. No matter what he does, it is under Adam's prediction and influence.

James and Diego came back smoothly, and handed over the small hard drive with Pan's core module to him. Zhang Xun finished the hard drive, pulled the pendant around his neck out of his clothes, and put the hard drive together with the database that Adam gave him.

Before dawn, they reached the sewers at the border of the tenth district. The water flow in the ditch became turbulent here, rushing through several metal railings, heading towards the unknown darkness.

Without saying a word, Diego turned on the anti-flood system on the battle suit, picked up the steel shears in his backpack, stepped into the rushing water, and began to cut the metal railings.

Zhang Xun asked James softly, "How did you get in touch with Diego?"

James said, "I don't know anyone around me who I can trust, but I know that you are very familiar with him, and he has lived outside of Paradise Lost, so I went to the garbage disposal plant to ask him for help. I didn't expect him to agree help me."

Zhang Xun nodded, sighed softly, with a guilty look on his brows, "If you help me this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Paradise Lost."

James didn't show much seriousness. Instead, he grinned and showed his white teeth, "What are you doing here? Waiting to be turned into a zombie?"

On the other side, Diego was also quarreling, "I knew that robot boy of yours is not an easy-going lamp. He just behaves like a grandson in front of you."

Zhang Xunmian pulled the corner of his mouth forcefully, "I'm not vigilant enough."

"Okay, it's not your fault alone." Diego said, cutting the last railing.

James handed the respirator to Zhang Xun, and then connected the two of them with a rope so as not to be washed away in the current.

"Don't be afraid, protect your head carefully and don't hit the rock. I will hold you." James squeezed his shoulder hard, comforting Zhang Xun, who was obviously nervous because he saw the water.

Zhang Xun can't swim and is very afraid of water. It has been like this since childhood.

But this time I had to dive before I learned how to swim.

Zhang Xun put on the respirator, only to feel his heart beating fast, blood surging in his body, but his hands were cold. James led him into the turbulent water, followed Diego in front of him to a fault less than two meters high. Here the water formed a small waterfall, and white foam rushed from the bottom.

"I'll count one, two, three, and jump down together."

Zhang Xun wasn't sure if he would jump when he heard "three", but before he could figure it out, James had already jumped down, dragging him down as well.
