Last Heartbeat

Centuries after mankind's comprehensive "mechanical ascension", flesh and blood became a legend of the old era, and a plague called "rust disease" began to spread in the steel jungle - it caused the cold machinery to grow disgusting sarcomas, and turned rational prosthetics into madmen. Ning is the only alien in this world. As the "perfect protoplasm" left over from the old era, he has a warm, soft, and bleeding body. In the eyes of the robot, he is a priceless panacea and a walking source of highly toxic pollution. In order to survive, he fell in love with the most dangerous man in the depths of the garbage sea. Hephaestus, the feared "Hammer" in the lower city, is a wasteland thug whose body is 90% mechanized and has long lost his sense of pain and touch. He should have destroyed this "source of pollution" with one shot, until Ning's vines pierced his neural interface - at that moment, the electronic brain, which had been dead for ten years, actually received a signal called "pain" for the first time in a long time. "Don't move. Let me hurt again." From the Shura Field in Scrap Iron City to the Garden of Eden above the clouds, from the prey and hunters who use each other, to the suture of flesh and blood that coexists with life and death. Since this steel world cannot tolerate the last heartbeat, then smash it to pieces and turn it into our unique greenhouse.
