Rust Era

In the suffocating future of 2230, memory has become currency, and the right to breathe needs to be exchanged for credits. In order to extend the life of his sister Xiaoya, memory miner Lin Mo sneaks into other people's dreams to steal precious memories, but accidentally downloads encrypted data that predicts the destruction of the earth. During his escape, he met the anti-technology fighter Lidana, a zoo keeper whose right arm was eroded by a genetic virus due to her resistance to neural modification, and the retired mecha warrior Babayan, the island guardian who was burdened with hatred and radiation poison. The three of them formed a survival alliance with Xianyang, the damaged robot repaired by Lin Mo, and struggled to survive under the stranglehold of the CPC's repressive regime and the multinational enterprise NI. When Lin Mo discovered that his sister's illness was caused by the giant's experiment, when Lidana's broken arm grew a salvation rose, and when Babayan's mecha sank into the deep sea to protect the last oxygen, they launched a respiratory revolution at the expense of flesh and blood. Lin Mo turned the truth of mankind into data snow that purified the neural network, and sealed the memory into the Sunset chip before his life disappeared; Lidana cut off the poisoned arm and let the rose bloom from the wound; Babayan built a tombstone with a body of steel to hold up the last fire of mankind.
