At the same time, far away is the city of Tau in the ruins of the old sandstone city of Lotinia.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck......"

On the outskirts of the abandoned city that seemed peaceful at night, under the barbed wire fence outside a garbage removal plant, a man was happily picking up garbage.

He carefully tossed and turned here with a long pole under the mountains of garbage, reflected in the bright moonlight.

"La-la-la, la-la-la-la......"

The radio, which was hung upright on the barbed wire, was long gone. However, after receiving a very strange signal shock, it nervously played music and broadcast signals.

"La-la-la-la-......la- Since most of the population may be infected in the future before they can evacuate, the World Tree Organization will decide to use top-secret weapons to bomb the city in order to effectively control the source of infection......"

No matter how much the scavenger struck or beat with a long pole, it was useless, and in the end he was so tired that he had to stop caring and let it scream and scream.

"This one is not edible, it is rotten......" The man picked up a rotten fruit from the ground with a solemn face, and looked up with his eyes constricted. Since it's broken, you can only throw it away.

Now, the man moved on. There was a gurgling noise on the uneven garbage floor.

He brushed back the collar of a rough shirt made of coarse strips of cloth that had been burned all over the outer layer, so that his mind could be left open, so that he could bring out the chic of his walk.

"The descendants of the mountains are dripping-oh, ......

When no one is around, men often hum this little tune. But he often stops after singing only here, and habitually exhales deeply.

I was stunned for a moment, and I seemed to be intoxicated with memories.

"Squeak, squeak."

"Huh? Mouse? ”

Hearing a whooshing sound from behind, the man turned around and turned back to wonder if his ears had misheard. He fixed his eyes and saw only a dark shadow scurrying across the ground.

"Isn't it already extinct in Lotinia?" The man tilted his head and muttered to himself in bewilderment.

He slowly squatted down, grabbed a piece from the garbage row on the ground, and after it felt like plastic garbage, he hurriedly loaded it into the satchel he was carrying on his shoulder.

"Take this back to your daughter, bring it all back......"

Getting up, he walked happily along the barbed wire wall. The moonlight shone obliquely against the barbed wire, as if a silver curtain had been placed on it.

Behind the hill not far away, there was the roar of desert zombies. But it sounded like a group fight, presumably over a poor jackal's meat.

Whoosh -

A whirring desert storm, this time from the southeast. Blow a few discarded cans and bottles on the ground and start a race to see who gets the last to roll far.

The yellow sand dust stirred up scraps of paper and flew all over the sky. There were also rusty iron sheets leaning against the corners of the barbed wire walls, which were also knocked by the sand and made a clanging sound.

Click.

In an instant—boom!

“！” Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the silent sky, causing the scavenger to react. His eyes tightened, and he looked up at the small rocket missile, which flew towards him at great speed.

Phew!

"Huh!" The man leaned hard to the left, so that he could dodge by turning sideways.

At the same time as he just dodged away, he saw that the rocket missile hit the barbed wire, and instantly exploded a ball of white sparks scattered in all directions.

However, it didn't even explode ?!

"Titicaca—what?" The man hurriedly half stood up, and he turned his head to see the rocket missile stuck in the barbed wire, which quickly changed the direction of attack and quickly pursued it.

Phew!

"Hah!"

The moment the rocket missile was about to hit the man, he quickly waved the wooden pole in his hand and smashed the rocket missile in front of him, and at the same time produced a violent explosion reaction.

Impulsive!

The impact of the explosion tore the barbed wire wall open; garbage plots stacked on top of the ground; and the man just now, who was also shocked and turned backwards.

The man stopped until his back hit the back of an old refrigerator.

Bang dang!

"Uh...... Whew—what the hell is going on? This is who is in the ...... at night"

"Identification: Yi Qianren, a member of the High War of the Doomsday Camp on Nassee Island. He stole the top secret documents of the Vitn-ang organization, all armed personnel, and immediately arrested them......"

"What, what?" The man panicked and searched for prestige. Suddenly, a strange-looking humanoid object caught his half-startled eye:

A vortex of air bloomed in front of him, and the humanoid object flew out of it and landed smoothly to the ground.

It is an artificial intelligence warframe created by scientists in the Vitn-ang organization to imitate the Yuan Energy Warframe and specially create it for the fighters of the organization.

Although in terms of performance, it is not too much compared to the Yuan Energy Warframe whose body is the Force Crystal, and it needs to be worn manually-but the fortitude is enough to consume the Yuan Energy Warframe until the energy is exhausted.

AI Warframe: TX-025.

Hum - accompanied by the sound of mechanical friction buzzing, this completely made (the man) Yi Qianren realize that his current situation was simply terrible.

Phew.

"Wait- I'm just a scavenger, huh." Yi Qianren quickly stood up. But he seemed to move forward calmly and explained.

In front of him, the man in the artificial battle armor pulled the trigger without waiting for a thousand people to explain first, and launched the missile fixed on his elbow in seconds.

Whoosh!

"Ahh Yi Qianren's brown eyes widened, and he watched the crimson tail flame missile swoop towards him, but there was no way to dodge it.

Bang!!!

After a loud explosion, I saw that the garbage heap, which was relatively neat, had all been blown into a mess and a complete pile of rubble.

Soon-

TX-025 immediately pursued after the scans were inconclusive. "Attention groups, I have killed a thousand people. He is now being confirmed as if he is dead, and requests for immediate support are being requested...... Yes! ”

Swish!

In an instant, a long, sharp scythe covered in a dark green mist pierced TX-025's back armor, and the sharp tip of the knife stabbed straight into the belly in front of him.

Drip...... Drip......

The shell of the man's shattered AI armor shattered with a flash of white lightning. I don't want to be behind him, who suddenly attacked him.

In his ears, there was also a whispered message from other team members: "No. 025! What happened to you? Please answer when you receive, please answer when you receive it! ”
