The first time I met Shen Mo, I should have killed her.
Twenty-five years after the nuclear war broke out, the surface of the earth has become a wasteland. I am Lu Chuan, a solitary wanderer whose only reliance is a pre-war military navigator - it can find hidden resource points and guide me to the legendary "last oasis".
I wasn't supposed to trust anyone until I met her.
Her name is Shen Mo, she is taciturn, and her left arm is a mechanical prosthetic. She is as ferocious as a beast when fighting, but when she is alone, she will stare at the prosthetic in a daze. I rescued her and she joined my team. I thought this was the compensation given to me by fate - in this world of cannibalism, I finally had someone to keep warm by my side.
But I was wrong.
When my best brother died in an ambush caused by her leak, when I discovered that she secretly sent a signal to a distance every night, when I dug up the Reaver emblem next to the signal device she buried -
I realized that every time she approached me, it was a well-planned scam.
She is an undercover agent sent by the Predators.
But when she cried and told the truth, when she revealed that she had a sister who was being held hostage, when she knocked on my door late at night and asked, "Do you still believe me?" - Should I push her hand away, or should I hug this woman full of lies?
In the wasteland, the most terrifying thing is not radiation or mutant beasts, but the person you fall in love with, which may be the knife buried by the enemy beside you.
And what's even scarier than this is - even though you know she's a knife, you still want to hold it tight.
