Above the Bones

Outside the rusty high wall of the safe zone, the roar of the Bone Eater tore through the night. Wang Zhan stepped on broken bones, the scar on his left brow bone soaked in blood - three days ago, he had just recovered half of his life from the claws of the polymer. The dignitaries in the upper-class districts use blood purifiers to raise ornamental fish, and the common people in the outer districts fight for half a piece of compressed biscuit. On the black market in the abandoned district, Sister Hong's cheongsam is stained with wet blood, trading people's hearts that are colder than the virus. He was once a soldier guarding the wall, but now he runs errands for Sister Hong, just to find his lost comrades. But when the "new sample" in the container opened its eyes, when the AI ​​in the robotic arm hummed childhood songs, and when the enhanced human lion clutched the family portrait and walked towards the self-destruct button, Wang Zhan suddenly understood: What is harder to kill than the bone eater is the heart of the ruins that has not yet cooled. This is a world paved with bones, and they want to plant something on top of the decay. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
