Empire: Afterglow Under the Tower

Red rain falls, and the flower of Mana blooms deep in the wasteland. It makes the dead rise, alienates beasts, awakens humans, and makes countless survivors become the blood of infected bodies. Chen Zhuo, cell number 037, was once the most dangerous experimental subject in Iris Yard. He was used as a container, key, and source of pollution, and was locked in a cage that never saw the light of day. Until that day, the dark prison is broken and the door of the old era is loosened again. He woke up from the pile of corpses and awakened to the black flame that broke the world. This fire does not burn flesh and blood, only the shackles. Mana roots, nerve locks, voiceprint anchors, sealing doors, machine soldier permissions, destiny brands... Anything that tries to drag people back into the cage will collapse under the black flames. The Empire wants to judge him, the Iris Academy wants to recycle him, the Revolutionary Army wants to use him, and the Flower of Mana wants to devour him. But Chen Zhuo only believes in one thing: Stay alive. Become stronger. Burn through all the doors that try to close him one by one. When a wave of corpses siege the city, the flower spectrum unfolds, the old-era robots awaken from the underground, Bai Yuan takes the throne himself, and the entire northern border will hear his name. They say a caged bird shouldn't fly. Chen Zhuo raised his hand burning with black flames and said coldly: "Then burn the cage first."
