Mechanical Skull

“You mean your brain is an artificial intelligence?”

“Right.”

“Then you can just look up the answers during exams!”

The female lead, Qin Fang, was infected with a zombie virus as a child. Her scientist mother used illegal technology to replace half her brain with machinery, and from then on, Qin Fang became a cyborg.

But her good fortune did not last. Her mother died of an illness not long afterward, leaving Qin Fang with one final instruction: she must keep the secret of her mechanical brain.

Qin Fang is left to fend for herself on the streets, hiding from pursuers with her older sister, who has been turned into a robot. She had hoped to scrape by in this world, but fate grabs her by the collar and shoves her straight into the line of fire.

“You’re the illegal immigrant who escaped from Highway 208 three days ago, aren’t you?”

As an “illegal creation” in the post-apocalyptic world, she must keep her secret hidden to avoid being forcibly dismantled. But in this vast base, her deleted memories, mysterious origins, and her mother’s past... Everything points to her inextricable ties to this place.
