The Mechanic

At this time, the three flying machines of Feather Snake City also ran along and glided out one after another, leaving their base and leader behind and fled in embarrassment.

Amidst the roar, only James stayed. He asked Adam anxiously, "Where is Axun? Where is your human body?"

Adam stretched out his hand and pointed to the elevator not far away, "We are on the next floor. If you want to go, you can use this elevator. After reaching the next floor, go straight along the corridor. Axun is trying to set the program , Transmit me back into the human body. You don't have to worry, neither Axun nor I were injured."

James finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran towards the elevator. And Adam's image went out, and the giant beast turned its head slowly, looking at everything burning in front of it with two rows of faint eyes.

And in the underground, about an hour ago: in a research room with a huge hole in the wolf borrowed wall, Zhang Xun nervously entered the code. Press the final Enter key, and the progress bar of the download starts to appear, and the speed is very fast. With Adam helping to optimize it, the download speed is even faster than the previous upload.

Fortunately, the delivery speed of this small ribose molecule solution is extremely fast, otherwise it would take one night, and it would be too late.

On the other side, General Muruk, who had temporarily lost consciousness due to blood loss, was handcuffed to a metal pipe by Zhang Xun. His severed right hand had been sterilized with the hemostatic spray in the first aid kit he found in the laboratory next door. Hemostasis, not life-threatening for the time being.

But it took too much time to stop the general's bleeding. He is also not sure if the transmission can be completely completed before the entire underground base collapses...

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the progress bar was almost full. Only then did Zhang Xun heave a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard Adam's voice coming from the loudspeaker, "James is coming to you, and I will help you open the door."

"Adam, you should go to sleep now. Otherwise, the transmission will be unstable, which may cause problems!"

"I believe that your code, Axun, is impeccable."

"...Don't be glib! Go to sleep! Otherwise, I will force you to wait."

"Axun, I'm sorry, I'm not in my body now, you can't force me to wait."

When did this artificial intelligence become so poor.

At this moment, the door of the research room opened. James strode in. Zhang Xun turned around and saw the person coming, and was just about to smile in relief. Suddenly, he saw that James' face changed color suddenly.

"Axun! Be careful!"

But it turned out that Muluke had woken up at some point, and just pretended to continue to sleep. Just at the moment when Adam lost control of the base system at the last moment of the transmission, and Zhang Xun's attention was also diverted by James, Muruk raised his head and opened his mouth wide. From the depths of his throat, a weird long tube with metallic luster but elastic sticks out, aiming at Zhang Xun.

Who would have thought that the lunatics in Feather Snake City would carry out body modification to such an extent, hiding deadly weapons in the esophagus.

Zhang Xun only had time to turn his head to look in the direction of General Feather Snake City, and only had time to see the fiery white light erupting from the black tube.

At this moment between life and death, an alloy arm behind him suddenly embraced Zhang Xun, and while turning his body away, the other hand, a human hand, reflexively wanted to cover his head . Although his movements were fast, the back of his hand still brushed against the edge of the beam. After just a few milliseconds of contact, something horrible happened.

Starting from the place touched by the light beam, the skin quickly steamed with large red and swollen blisters, as if the skin was boiling, and began to spread towards the arm.

Adam screamed in pain, fell off the operating table, his whole body twitched in pain, and kept writhing on the ground.

His skull wasn't even covered...

"Adam!!! Adam!!!" Zhang Xun's heart stopped beating, and his voice became hoarse. He tried to hold Adam down to prevent shock damage to the part of his human brain protected by nanocontainers. But he couldn't control Adam at all, because it hurt too much, it was like being burned by a raging fire, like the skin was sliced ​​by a blunt knife.

This is the first time that Adam has experienced such a real and intense pain, but it is also a pain beyond the ability of ordinary human beings. Tears overflowed uncontrollably, and he could only scream needlessly, screaming like an ordinary human being.

But Muruk was still laughing wildly, "If you cut off my hand, I'll burn your arm too! We're even!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious by the butt of a gun by the enraged James.

Zhang Xun didn't have time to pay attention to other things at all. He could only see that Adam's whole hand was in disrepair, the skin was damaged and festered in an instant, and the muscles peeled off from the bones, as if it was being rapidly corrupted by some invisible virus. And those blisters are still spreading rapidly, already close to the elbow.

He knew that there was no time left, and now he could not hesitate for a moment, and there was no time to soften his heart. He had to save Adam, he had to save him!

So he grabbed a small chainsaw from the operating table, and with tears of panic in his eyes, he said to Adam in a soft and calm voice, "Be patient, bear it, and it will pass!"

Then he turned on the chainsaw and cut down on Adam's remaining native arm.
