16 16 301 AniZhuanchangEnd The stagnant river of time begins to flow once more. The first time I left, Kowloong Metropolis and the underground ruins were under construction.
17 17 301 AniZhuanchangBegin It was at this moment that I finally saw how humanity lived in today's era.
21 20 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 GDF Soldier A Damnit, the defensive line can't hold any longer. 1
22 21 301 1 GDF Soldier B What about the Support Force? Where are they? 1
23 22 301 GDF Soldier C Radar indicates that most of the squads have evacuated... We've been abandoned! 1
24 23 301 GDF Soldier A Damn it! 1
25 24 301 GDF Soldier B The Corrupted are coming! We're all gonna die! 1

27 26 301 ??? Don't give up just yet.

33 32 301 Suddenly, a girl infiltrates the base and interrupts the soldiers.
34 33 301 She quickly slashes the Corrupted with her glaive, then charges up and throws her weapon at the enemies behind her. The inertia from the impact sends enemies flying back over ten meters before they crash onto the ground.
35 34 301 She lifts her right hand slightly, and a new glaive forms in her hand.
36 35 201 1 500005
37 36 301 1 GDF Soldier A It's a Construct! 1
38 37 301 GDF Soldier C No, that can't be. My detector indicates that she's reacting with the Punishing Virus. C-Corrupted! 1
39 38 201 1 500150
40 39 301 1 Qu No, I'm not your enemy! The Corrupted in front of you are higher priority right now! 1
41 40 202 1 1
42 41 301 Qu leads the charge outside of the base and begins to fight the Corrupted.
43 42 301 Qu may be skilled, but fighting the vast number of Corrupted while also trying to suppress the Punishing Virus from spreading to the other soldiers pushes her to her limits.
44 43 301 Now that the battle is over, Qu and the remaining soldier stand in the ruins of the base.
45 44 201 1 500005 -400
46 45 201 2 500150 14 400
47 46 301 1 GDF Soldier A Th-thank you. 1
48 47 301 Qu I guess I couldn't save everyone. 2
49 48 301 GDF Soldier A You did your best given the number of enemies... 1
50 49 301 Qu Do you need me to escort you back? 2
51 50 301 GDF Soldier A That won't be necessary. The main army has abandoned us, so going back will only make it worse. I've heard of a place called "Oasis" nearby... Want to come along? 1
52 51 301 GDF Soldier A You show signs of Corrupted, but I'm sure we can avoid a fight if you explain yourself clearly. 1
53 52 301 Qu I'd better not. I think that would only bring harm to both sides. 2
54 53 301 GDF Soldier A If you say so... 1
55 54 202 1 2 1
56 55 301 Hearing this, the soldier salutes Qu. But the soldier has only taken one step after turning to leave before kneeling.
57 56 301 Qu sees several bloody wounds on his back and even a mechanical Corrupted arm hanging off him.
58 57 201 1 500150 14
59 58 301 1 Qu You... 1
60 59 202 1 1
61 60 301 Qu rushes over only to discover that he has already stopped breathing.
62 61 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Leaving the base, Qu sets up three plaques on the ground for the soldiers and hangs their helmets on top.
65 65 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 Scavenger Let us in! 1
66 66 201 1 500005
67 67 301 1 City Guard Not while there are Corrupted out there. If we let you in, our city will be done for. 1

70 69 301 RImgBg1Shake AniZhuanchangBegin Just as several scavengers were outside the city negotiating with the soldiers, Corrupted artillery fire devours them in an instant.
72 72 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Lady I... I beg of you... Let my child in.
73 73 201 1 500150 14
74 74 301 1 Qu Alright, I will. 1
75 75 202 1 1
76 76 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Upon hearing this, the woman in front of Qu relaxes her clenched fists, but the blind woman cannot see that her child is no longer breathing.
91 91 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Huaxu Are you sure you want to do this?
92 92 201 1 500150
93 93 301 1 Qu Yes, only by sending those sky dwellers down can we end all of humanity's suffering in an instant. 1
94 94 301 Qu They won't have to continue struggling in this tragic era. Everyone can live forever in the virtual world. 1
95 96 301 Huaxu As you wish.
96 98 301 Qu From now on, Huaxu, direct all computing power into collecting and backing up the consciousness models for all of mankind. The Tabula Akasha can no longer be confined to just Kowloong. 1
97 99 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Qu All of mankind should be recorded in history and jointly welcome the arrival of a new era. 1
