In the future of the East Eighth District timeline, Xinji City, the pinnacle of global technology and culture, is like a giant beast torn apart by time, entrenched on the east coast of the old continent. This super-large city that once symbolized the glory of human civilization has now become a paradise of vertically stacked ruins:
Above the surface, the remaining quantum towers and holographic billboards shimmer in the rust, the glass curtain walls of the bustling city reflect the barren green space, driverless abandoned cars block the yellowed streets, and power and conspiracy are still undercurrents in the shadows of the skyscrapers;
Deep underground, the roaring industrial area is like the entrails of a giant beast, and unknown liquids flow in the pipeline network. Deportees and black marketeers trade forbidden technologies here, and gangs in the underground world divide their territories with gunfire;
In the suspended apartments in the high-altitude residential zone, the surviving upper class is isolated from the chaos on the ground, but they don't know that outside their glass domes, the wild growth has begun to gnaw at the foundation of the city.
