In the fifth year of the global sinking, the Rust Sea swallowed up 90% of the land. I, Lingzhou, survived by salvaging the wreckage with half a mechanical prosthetic leg, until I found the chip embedded with the image of my sister Ling Yue - she was trapped in the spiral metal, wrapped in a faint blue light: "Don't come to the Seventh Outpost..."
That night, the prosthetic limb began to metamorphose, leaking fluorescent blue liquid, and the active metal it touched instantly became hot. The resource hunter "Hound" searched for me like crazy: "That's the core prototype of Promaeus, which can be used for ten rafts!" The black market technician Nora pried open the core of the prosthetic limb, and the "Whispering Protocol of the Abyss" popped up. The wavelength of the distress signal was exactly the same as the energy core of her father's bombing of the world.
We dived 3,000 meters on a raft, and with each pulse of blue light passing by, the mutated octopus got crazier. I always hallucinate that Ling Yue is standing on the luminous altar, and Xuan Que, the "Recorder of the Abyss," rushes out: "She has been eaten by the Devouring Body, and it is the consciousness of the bionic human that is calling you!"
The active metal slowly metallized my fingers. Every time the raft was upgraded, the neurotoxins became deeper. Thorium oxide can purify seawater, but it attracted the military's electromagnetic gun. When the blue light dyed the rust sea red, and the countdown of the stratigraphic bomb was beating, I clutched my alienated prosthetic limb and rushed towards the trench - even if Ling Yue was a data stream, it would be assimilated after resonating once, and it would blow up the incubation pool.
"If you go any further, you won't be able to become a human being." Nora sent in the "Atonement Code", "But if you retreat, this sea of blue light will turn everyone into nourishment."
