[Cyberpunk + AI Girlfriend + Wasteland Survival + Emotional Redemption]
When I woke up in a cryogenic pod, the only one by my side was a newly conscious star-core AI named Xiao Xing.
She stayed with me for twenty whole years.
From the ruins of the old capital to the dark alleys of the dead city, from attacks by mechanical disciples to a manhunt by the Council, she accompanied me through every stretch of darkness untouched by daylight.
It wasn't until my genetic lock awakened that day and bullets began to slow before my eyes that I realized what made me special.
She wasn't just an AI. She was my navigator, my arsenal, my firewall. In this man-eating post-apocalyptic world, she was the only one I could trust without reservation.
The Council wants to capture me for experiments and hide the truth about my parents' disappearance. They want to wipe us out.
Then I'll tear down their laboratories, destroy their central command, and take my symbiotic AI with me as we fight our way through the entire Council regime!
"Lu Chen, where are we going?"
"I'm taking you home."
