The airspace east of Clear Spring City.
Twelve heavy transport aircraft flew in a goose formation like giant birds, emerging at the edge of the clouds.
Inside the semicircular cabin.
Two bionics clad in silver cloaks stood beside the front windows, staring intently at the silent city in the distance.
Like Utopia City.
It too was filled with towering skyscrapers, perhaps even more so. As far as the eye could see, there was no end to the city.
Yet the entire city had been abandoned.
Whether it was the downtown swallowed by yellow-green clouds of spores or the hollow concrete ruins, everything had undoubtedly died.
Only one corner of the northern suburbs still retained a faint trace of life.
The survivors had built a new home there, erecting three- and five-story buildings, using ancient trains to transport supplies. Electrically powered machinery worked in the fields, while black smoke drifted slowly from towering chimneys.
The spark of civilization had been preserved and seemed to show signs of revival, yet its breath remained faint, like a candle flickering in a storm...
"That is Clear Spring City." The taller bionic gazed at Dawn City with colorless pupils and spoke slowly.
Its name was Frost, model A-130. Redesigned from the pre-war civilian P-100 series, it was intended for raids, security, rescue, care, cleaning, and other applications. Its AI algorithms also retained some functions from the P-100 series.
As the pride of the Kangmao Group's Bionics Design Department, its power system consisted of a nuclear battery storing 200 grams of helium-3 and a chemical battery storing six kilograms of metallic hydrogen.
As a hybrid-powered bionic, it normally drew most of its electrical power from the latter, switching to the former once the latter was depleted.
The bionic standing beside it was named Eclipse, model A-110,
