13 13 301 1 Hearing your orders, the Construct soldiers nod knowingly, forming into groups of three and scattering, slowly surrounding the dispersed Corrupted.

20 20 301 Even when their limited firepower cannot damage the Corrupted significantly, the soldiers' concentrated barrage still manages to push the Corrupted back closer and closer to the planned location.

24 24 302 Alright, hold fire. 25
25 25 301 The Construct soldiers stop shooting. Their guns are still drawn, but the soldiers know that the fight is over.

28 28 301 Corrupted —!!! 1 2
29 29 301 Without the constant pressure from the Constructs' firearms, the Corrupted immediately revert to their frenzied stage, hoping to charge in and tear their enemies apart.

34 34 301 But they quickly find themselves standing on nothing—the ground below their feet suddenly collapses, and the new giant hole devours them whole.
35 35 201 1 500019
36 36 301 1 Construct Soldier You were right... That floor couldn't support so many Corrupted and collapsed. 1
37 37 401 600 1 36
38 38 401 1 208
39 39 301 That seems to be the roof of an old shopping mall. The deserted structure failed the moment it could not withstand the weight of the Corrupted, burying everything that was standing on top.
40 40 302 Karenina figured it out, after all. 41
41 41 301 It is because of her accurate assessment that the Corrupted could be so effortlessly dispatched—every bullet is a valuable resource at a time like this.
42 42 301 Construct Soldier In that case, the Corrupted in this region are all eliminated. 1
43 43 302 Thanks for all your work. 44
44 44 301 Construct Soldier We're used to it. I reckon the Engineering Force are the hardest-working ones right now. The materials for the reconstruction are still on their way, while so many are still in need of a roof... 1
45 45 202 1
46 46 301 You have been seeing Karenina going back and forth between different parts of the conservation area ever since she demolished that unstable building, and you have rarely seen her rest.
47 47 301 You happen to have a construction materials list that requires Karenina's approval before submitting it to Babylonia, so you decide to find her after this mission.
48 48 302 All clear. Dismiss. 49
49 49 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Confirming Karenina's whereabouts on your terminal, you are surprised to find out where she is.
51 51 301 DialogEnable If trashes can be used to measure the advancement of human civilization, then the "hill" that is a landfill before you tells the story of how quickly the Golden Age was developed.

53 53 301 1 Amidst this dead mountain, the lively girl who suddenly appears is all the more noticeable.
54 54 301 Carefully, Karenin retrieves a black panel from beneath a pile of trash.
55 55 301 Karenina Get the fork out! 1

59 59 301 In the blink of an eye, Karenina pulls the panel away with a "Woosh!", and the rubbish stacked above it only sways ever so slightly.
60 60 301 Karenina Hmph! Perfect... 1

64 64 301 Before she can finish feeling smug, the still pile of trash suddenly rushes toward her like an avalanche, almost drowning her—the panel only survives since she raises it above her head at the last minute.
65 65 302 Karenina?! 66 Are you alright?! 66
66 66 204 1 7
67 67 301 Hearing your shout, the Inver-Devices above Karenina's head poke through the trash pile that has buried her all of a sudden.

69 69 401 200 1 13015111
70 70 402 13015111
71 71 301 Almost simultaneously, she jumps out nimbly—
72 72 204 1 6
73 73 301 Karenina W-what are you doing here?! 1
74 74 302 Phew. You don't look injured... 75
75 75 204 1 4
76 76 301 Karenina Hmph, of course! How can this junk even hope to hurt me... I was just caught by surprise. 1
77 77 301 Karenina skips to your location. Only at this distance can you tell that her face is covered with dirt, from where you cannot say.
78 78 204 1 1
79 79 301 But she does not seem to care. Her smeared face highlights her sparkling eyes in the sun.
80 80 301 Even more sparkling is the panel in her hand... blinding, even.
81 81 302 What's that you got there? 82
82 82 301 Karenina Hm? This? This is a solar thermal collector from ages ago. It was used to collect and store solar energy. 1
83 83 301 Karenina It's pretty cold at night right now... The Scavengers who moved out might have a place to stay, but they have nothing to keep them warm. I want to make a simple heating device with this and a few other things. 1
84 84 301 Karenina fiddles with her hair by her ear, her gaze darting around.
85 85 204 1 4
86 86 301 Karenina After all, it's too dangerous for them to make a fire in their shelters... The Engineering Force'd have to clean up their mess if they start a fire... 1
87 87 302 I'll help. 88
88 88 204 1 7
89 89 301 Karenina blinks and looks at you in disbelief.
90 90 301 Karenina You? This isn't commanding a squad. It takes alertness and awareness, not wit. 1
91 91 204 1 1
92 92 301 Karenina It takes experience and imagination to determine if what you found is valuable... if it's "treasure" or "trash." 1
93 93 302 All I see here is trash... 94 Fascinating insight! 94
94 94 301 As she speaks, she bends down to grab a small, inconspicuous device from the pile and throws it your way.
95 95 302 What is that? 96
96 96 301 Karenina The port for an energy converter. It's a bit damaged right now, but I should be able to fix it. 1
97 97 301 Karenina I used to go treasure-hunting in the slums with Grandpa back in the slums. We would find all kinds of parts to assemble machines that we didn't know. 1
98 98 301 Karenina takes the port back and easily fixes it before attaching it to the panel.
99 99 301 Karenina Even unassuming junk... can become treasures that help people in the hands of engineers. 1
100 100 302 Amazing... 101
101 101 302 Let me look for some "treasures" as well. 102
102 102 301 You look around and see a small object glistening in the sun. Picking it up, you find a chip with an intricate circuit attached to it.
103 103 302 Karenina! Take a look! 104
104 104 301 Taking the small trinket from you, she flips it around in the sun. Light passes through its translucent shell, scattering into a rainbow of colors. But Karenina eventually shrugs.
105 105 301 Karenina It's just a small bulb for decoration, not something useful, unfortunately. At most, it'd give off a little bit of light... if it isn't broken. Definitely "trash." 1
106 106 302 What a shame... 107 I guess this is where it belongs. 107
107 107 301 Disappointed, you take the small bulb back, ready to throw it back into the trash pile.
108 108 204 1 8
109 109 301 Karenina Hold on... Don't throw it away! 1
110 110 204 1 1
111 111 301 Karenina grabs it from you before observing it closely and smiling.
112 112 301 Karenina I suppose it's fate that you picked it up. Leave it to me! I'll turn this small glass ball into the shiniest light there is! 1
113 113 301 Karenina We can probably place it... Alright! There! 1
114 114 301 Looking at where Karenina is pointing, you find a familiar structure hidden behind some buildings.
115 115 302 The Ferris wheel? 116
116 116 301 Karenina That's it. Isn't a Ferris wheel decked out with lights? Let's put this up there to join the party. 1
117 117 302 It looks much smaller than the one in Venus Splash Park. 118
118 118 301 Karenina Sure, but the structure of this Ferris wheel is sturdy. We can keep it up there and not worry about it falling down. 1
119 119 204 1 4
120 120 301 Karenina If the power system still works, we might even be able to turn it back on. And then... Tch. Now's not the time to think about that! 1
121 121 301 Turning away from the Ferris wheel, Karenina bends down to collect the "treasure" she found.
122 122 302 Do you like Ferris wheels? 123
123 123 204 1 6
124 124 301 Karenina Me? Nah. I just recalled that night at Venus Splash Park when I didn't... 1
125 125 204 1 7
126 126 301 Suddenly, Karenina freezes unexpectedly and blushes.
127 127 302 Karenina? 128
128 128 204 1 6
129 129 301 Karenina W-why is my face so dirty?! 1
130 130 301 Karenina hurriedly rubs her face with her hand—she seems to have noticed her appearance from the reflection of the solar panel.
131 131 301 Karenina Why didn't you say something?! 1
132 132 302 I thought you knew... 133
133 133 302 It's alright. No one is around. 134 It's alright. I'm the only one here. 134
134 134 301 Karenina It's not alright! How stupid are you?! 1
135 135 401 200 1 1515
136 136 204 1 4
137 137 301 You want to say something more, but the supervisor from the conservation area suddenly calls you. Sounding urgent, he notifies you that the CPF has stopped working properly all of a sudden.
138 138 301 Karenina ...The wattage of the CPF dropped drastically out of nowhere? How the hell... I see. I'll be right there! 1
139 139 302 I'm coming with you! 140
140 140 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin You two place the things you have found in a cart, and then you make your way to the Central Purification Filter.
