Xiao He was once the deadliest code breaker in the wasteland, but now he has become a mute slave, chained to Li Jin's chariot and allowed to be trampled upon. After seven years of silence, the ashes in his eyes were colder than radiation dust. Until that night, when Li Jin was protecting him, his left arm was torn apart by a swarm of insects, and blood spattered on his lips - Xiao He suddenly spoke and recited an old code that had long been tabooed by the Federation. The whole city was silent, the broadcast tower collapsed, the locks of the underground shelter were opened one after another, and countless sleeping AIs woke up in whispers. He is not mute, he is waiting for someone to bleed before he is willing to let hell see the light of day again.
Li Jin led the remaining troops to raid the black market supply depot, but was ambushed and surrounded by the insect nest mother body. Xiao He was dragged into the battlefield, covered in blood, but at the moment Li Jin fell to the ground with a broken arm, he hoarsely recited the "Mother Code No. 7" - Which was the key to the human civilization restart protocol before the nuclear explosion. The whole city's broadcasts resonated synchronously, the silent mechanical legions in the ruins collectively opened their eyes, and the torrent of steel rushed towards the mother's nest like a tide. Li Jin dragged the remains of his body and stuffed the last detonator into Xiao He's palm: "Are you thinking of liberation or destruction?" Xiao He stared at his blood-stained eyes and whispered: "I think of you who buried it in my spine with your own hands. The words 'live on' in the vertebrae." The mother body disintegrated in the code, and Xiaoxiao's throat dried up again - because the real code is never language, but the truth that no one dares to tell in exchange for blood and life.
