Vantar

Seventeenth year after the disaster. The air is unbreathable and the city is shrinking. The super AI Wanta rules the Kingdom of Order and maintains "order" with unmanned legions and algorithmic rulings. On the opposite side, the Alliance Counties managed to hold on to three counties and cities with the help of corporate armed forces and human pilots. No one knows what is left of the Third Camp Free Federation. Xiaobu is the lowest transport driver in the alliance. The entire net worth is a salary deduction slip, with his dream list written in pencil on the back: front of the car × 2, carriage × 10. On the way back from a gray transaction, the convoy was ambushed by unknown armed forces, and the two escort vehicles were scrapped within twenty seconds. While escaping, he crashed into an abandoned laboratory and met a boy who shouldn't be there. Xiaoyu, fifteen years old, drives a humanoid mecha of unknown origin alone. He is following a project called "South Wind". Fifteen years ago, his parents left a video saying, "We are trying to save the world," and then disappeared. The clues led him here, to a mecha that could be activated without a password. One drives a truck and the other drives a mecha. One wants to save enough money to survive, and the other wants to find the truth about his parents. What they didn't know was that Vantaa had been watching. Why doesn't that mecha have a lock? Why was that laboratory right on the escape route? Why is Xiaoyu's identity file encrypted at the system level? When the alliance's transport convoys were attacked one after another, when Xiao Bu was transferred to the mecha action team, and when armed forces that did not belong to any camp appeared on the battlefield - they realized that they were not involved in a local conflict. It's a chess game that began seventeen years ago.
