Chapter 10 - Adam (5)

"No!" Zhang Shuo rejected Zhang Xun's proposal without even thinking and looked absently at the battle damage report just sent to him.

Zhang Xun had been mentally prepared for this and continued to argue, "We purchased the shield system from the Russian army and the source code was generated by Eden. If he checks it, he might be able to repair it ten times faster than the original self-repair system. Now that the shield is damaged, if the United States launches another air bomb, we'll be done for!"

"We will also be done for if he is kidnapped by Eden, or if he goes against us and completely destroys the shield!" Zhang Shuo raised his falcon-like eyes and stared at his son who still refused to give up, "You still haven't completely domesticated Adam, yet you have been persuaded by it, what does that look like?! Now go to the air-raid shelter and don't disturb me."

This time, Zhang Xun mustered up his courage and actually blocked his father's path, "We kidnapped him but don't dare to use him, so what did we kidnap him for?!"

"I already said! It's a double-edged sword, unless we get it completely under our control, the God Descent Plan is likely to be our doom!"

"We will never be able to completely control him!" Zhang Xun exclaimed, "He is much more advanced than us! In front of him, we are just a bunch of primitive monkeys!"

Zhang Shuo grabbed Zhang Xun by the collar and stared at him dangerously, "From the very beginning, I was against the God Descent Plan, if it wasn't for those few Chiefs who believed in those useless things you make..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly pushed Zhang Xun away. Zhang Xun stumbled back a few steps and raised his head, only to see Zhang Shuo hurriedly walking towards the command hall.

The pain of anger and hurt surged in his blood, but Zhang Xun was helpless. Originally, he thought that if Adam could repair the protective shield, perhaps the hostility of Lost Paradise towards Adam would be reduced. In the future, if he brought Adam out of the Lab, he wouldn't have to worry about Adam being cut into pieces the moment he stepped out the door.

However, on Zhang Xun's return to the Lab, the United States really launched another wave of bombings. This time the bombs broke the anti-pulse metal mesh under the shield, and an electromagnetic pulse bomb was dropped immediately.

In an instant, all the electronic equipment that was still working stopped, and dozens of computer motherboards in the headquarters burned down instantly. The whole of Lost Paradise was plunged into darkness and even all the shield transmitters went into self-protection sleep mode in an instant.

The sudden absolute darkness in the dark night made the people in the Lost Paradise air raid shelter panic. The children's cries were everywhere, accompanied by the adults' scolding and soothing sounds. However, even the adults were trembling with fear, so the comfort was naturally not convincing.

Soon someone lit a kerosene lamp, and in the dark yellow halo, you could barely see faces full of horror.

Zhang Xun, on the other hand, knew very well that disaster was imminent. The effect of the electromagnetic pulse could last for twenty to thirty minutes. Although the main computers and instruments had been installed with the anti-pulse sleep program that he developed, so they wouldn't be seriously damaged, but within twenty minutes of the interference, the entire Lost Paradise was vulnerable without shields, and if there was another air bomb, they would all die.

The only computer that could still operate was Adam, who used biological energy.

He rushed back to the Lab immediately, only to find that because Pan was also asleep, the bulletproof door was sealed and he couldn't enter. Fortunately, he had planned for this to happen and had designed a set of mechanical components that could be used as a key and a combination lock to open the door when the power was turned off.
