Highway Seven

Short blurb: Rong San is the deputy head of the Inspection Bureau, but his superiors assign him to stabilize a city of androids. To make sure the androids stay docile in the city and become test subjects for scientists, Rong San racks his brains and is even willing to ruin his own reputation and provoke public outrage.

Everyone says he's arrogant, rude, and hard to get along with. Only Qi Ze stays by his side, accepting every unreasonable demand without complaint.

Qi Ze: No matter what happens, I'll do everything I can to cooperate with you.

Rong San thinks he's a really good person. Too bad he's an android.

In the future, scientists have created androids and use them as test subjects for all kinds of research. They are born to be sacrificed for science, and their lives are destined to be short.

Rong San shouldn't have gotten too involved with an android like that, much less fallen in love with him.

But he falls in love with him anyway, against his will.

Rong San: If I love him, I love him. I'll love him for as long as he lives.

Qi Ze: They all say androids are destined to be pawns thrown away, but I refuse to accept that. Even if I'm a chess piece, I will live this life with courage to the very end.

Full version: Viruses, natural disasters, human-caused calamities... In the future, Earth's population continues to shrink. People huddle in cities, constantly threatened by viruses and attacks from mutated species.

To give humanity a better chance of survival, scientists keep developing antiviral drugs, medicines, and more. They have also created androids.

"They're the guinea pigs of this era. Their future is to be sacrificed for science."

Androids are guinea pigs, and their city is one enormous laboratory.

The road leading to this city is called Highway Seven. Scientists use it to send in newly developed drugs and strange creatures, but now the androids are frequently trying to escape to the cities outside.

Rong San enters the city under orders. He is to keep the androids calm and make them stay there obediently, so they can unknowingly be sacrificed for science. At first, he feels nothing for them and has no pity for the fate awaiting them.

There is too much death and too much grief in this society. His heart has long been sealed shut.

Every day, Rong San watches over the guinea pigs with a mask-like smile. He can gently soothe their fears, threaten them into staying put, then watch without a flicker of emotion as they disappear one by one, sacrificing themselves for science.

But later, when monsters attack and viruses run rampant, Qi Ze, the deputy head of the Inspection Bureau, is rumored to be cold and ruthless. He saves Rong San, and his sincere love warms Rong San's heart. Rong San begins to fall for Qi Ze and sympathize with the fate awaiting him. In the end, he comes to feel for everyone in the city.
