Prologue

Location: A certain city in southern China

Year: 2056

In the dilapidated city, the sound of gunfire and explosions, along with the roars of various creatures, constantly fills the air with a nauseatingly thick smell of blood!

Groups of armed individuals wearing black combat uniforms are advancing towards the center of the city, wielding a variety of firearms. Meanwhile, numerous multi-legged armed robots provide covering fire for these soldiers with powerful artillery.

Along the way, various monsters and demons continuously emerge from the ruins of buildings, attempting to halt their advance. However, they all meet their end being mercilessly torn apart and blown to pieces by various weapons.

Not far from the most intense battle zone, on top of a skyscraper, a young man wearing sunglasses and a black leather trench coat stands expressionlessly, gazing at the area where the battle is raging.

"Report: the main force of the remaining demons has been suppressed in the central garden area of the city. Other areas have been occupied by our army. Squads are currently thoroughly sweeping the remaining enemies in the occupied areas." A young woman dressed in a black uniform arrives beside the man. After performing a standard military salute, she reports crisply.

Without turning his head, the young man calmly issues a new order, "Anxi, notify the fire support battalion to begin a comprehensive saturation bombardment immediately. After the attack, have the Fifth Squad end the battle as soon as possible. Also, inform the major to remain vigilant of the situation outside the city at all times. If enemy reinforcements are spotted, initiate particle cannon attacks immediately."

"Yes, sir!" The young woman named Anxi answers firmly and quickly turns to issue the latest command.

On the rooftop of the skyscraper behind her, which has been occupied by various military communication devices and personnel, the latest command is immediately transmitted to various units through this makeshift command center.

About five minutes later, a group of armed helicopters of various models roar past the skyscraper, pouring all their firepower madly towards the nearby area where the battle is raging. Instantly, the attacked area is engulfed in hellfire and dust.

After a barrage of bombing, the ground troops launch their final attack towards the area that has just been bombed.

Watching the area of intense fighting ahead, the young man's thoughts involuntarily drift back to five years ago, that afternoon that changed his life forever.
