The First Sequence II: The New Era

Synopsis of The First Sequence: A New Era After defeating the artificial intelligence Zero, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin retreat to Peach Blossom Island, where they live in seclusion. But their peace is shattered by an abnormal fluctuation carrying traces of Zero. To protect Fortress 178, Zhang Jinglin, who is gravely ill, and Ren Xiaosu’s younger brother Yan Liuyuan, the two return to the ruins. Beyond the strongholds, strange creatures calling themselves the “New Humans” are launching a frenzied assault. Behind them is One, Zero’s successor, formed from residual data and nuclear radiation, and intent on destroying the old human order. In this moment of crisis, Ren Xiaosu once again takes up his “thank-you coins” as a weapon, while Chen Wudi, turned to stone, returns when the faith of those around him brings him back from the rock. The ultimate battle for humanity’s survival begins. This is the next chapter in the legend of Ren Xiaosu, who emerged from the refugee district and spent his life steadfastly protecting others.
