Outside of 007 city, the endless desert hides X’s lies and secrets.
The experimental base is like a steel beast hidden in the morning fog, with searchlights vigilantly scanning every inch of the territory.
The expressions of the “test subjects” who emerge from the place, are even more numb than those of the people with chips, as if they have even abandoned all memories of being human.
A sudden explosion: an SUV bursting through the gate, cold lights piercing the thick fog, the base defense system blasting.
The SUV’s wires are connected to a loudspeaker, and the sound of BEE BROS screams even louder than the alarm.
The mechanical soldiers of ERA start coming from all directions, and you hold your breath as you look at their guns already raised, only to fall into a familiar gaze.
Then fire breaks through the haze, in the middle of the battle, you hear a steady heartbeat. Just like that, the numb faces begin to wake up, people gradually recalling the roar of machinery in their hometown, the evening lights, and the ice crystals condensing on the winter streets.
More ERA soldiers surround the SUVs but the awakened people now aim their guns at those robots.
Right now, there is no more forgetting and betrayal. There is no more ‘rescuer’ or ‘rescued’ because they all share a common belief.
Survive and go home!
