Chapter 3 Hanging Garden



Giant ribbon-shaped pipes float around the huge space station, slowly dispersing in space like abandoned garbage.

"This is the Kowloon Aldea Sky Ladder, calling the Sky Garden to begin docking."

"Sky Garden received, docking is about to begin, all for humanity."

A hole opened up in the outer wall of the huge space station and connected with the ladder. The huge collision almost caused many people to fall.

The robot stood at the exit: "Please line up and enter in an orderly manner." The old robot made a hoarse voice.

I followed the crowd into this so-called sky garden. The huge white open space was filled with us Kowloon people.

The walls were filled with people in white clothes, watching us as if they were watching animals.

A middle-aged man with a fierce face and white hair emerged from inside. He was quite muscular and shouted in a booming voice, "Welcome everyone to the Sky Garden. I'm aware of what happened in Kowloon. I'm deeply sorry. We originally planned to have 100,000 people, but only 30,000 have arrived. Everyone must be tired from the journey. Our Sky Garden staff will take you to a rest area. We'll discuss the specific arrangements tomorrow."

Afterwards, each of us was taken to a dormitory, which had a clean, soft white bed, a sink, and a toilet. I rushed in as soon as I thought I could shower. I hadn't showered in nearly ten days since the disaster. After showering, I changed into white pajamas, plopped down on the bed, and fell asleep.

I had a dream that night. I dreamed that Mr. Hua said to me in a very miserable voice: "You must come back, Hua Qi. Don't forget me, an old man."

Old man Hua looked at me covered in blood. I sat up in shock, sweating all over. I covered my head, which still hurt a lot, and my eyes were extremely sore.

Suddenly, the radio sounded: "Everyone from Kowloon, please come to the central venue. Please follow the map on the dormitory screen." I followed everyone to the central venue, found a chair, sat down casually, and waited for these people to arrange us.

Soon, three middle-aged men walked to the front of the stage with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.

Nicola: "My name is Nicola, everyone, welcome to the Hanging Gardens, which is the so-called last base of mankind. There should have been 100,000 people here. No, they shouldn't have come here, and this base shouldn't exist. If it exists, it won't play this role. So why are we humans huddled here? It's the Pamish virus. They are a group of robbers who drove us humans out of our original homes. We humans kept fleeing, from green land to desert, from desert to glacier. There are traces of human escape everywhere. Now we have run from the earth to the universe. Do we still want to keep running? No, we have to fight back. We have developed weapons that can fight this virus because we found that most of the infected bodies have no consciousness. It should be said that the consciousness is very weak and can be easily controlled by others. We humans use cannons. We have heavy firepower coverage from all kinds of weapons, but these things just can't be killed. We found that these infected bodies seem to be controlled by something and driven by people, just like the surprise attack on Kowloon this time. How could a group of scrap metal be so smart? They would think of attacking humans from underground, so they must have a mastermind. Now we humans focus on eliminating the mastermind, and the infected bodies as a secondary, although we don't know what the mastermind is. Is it a human or a monster? All of this can only be known through life practice. Uncover the truth hidden in the red tide, and to do these things, only constructs and us humans can do it. Constructs have been used since the great transformation period, and have successfully ensured the survival of some civilizations that should have been extinct. Constructs, also known as executors, are made with Kurono's most elite technology to fight against Pamish. Infected humanoid weapons are, in simple terms, machines, not humans. These constructs can wear "reverse metamorphic devices" to keep their main brains from being affected by the virus, allowing them to complete high-risk tasks that humans cannot complete. Constructs are somewhat different from ordinary robots. Their energy comes from a neural network called "Sea of ​​Consciousness". This neural network is a network dedicated to the construct team, and can build an independent anthropomorphic consciousness for each construct to act. Constructs are equipped with "consciousness chips" to enable them to learn quickly and gain more powerful strength. Constructs are very powerful but also have great flaws. Their emotions are not perfect, and they may make wrong choices in combat missions. Because they were all human beings in their lifetime, but under the influence of the reverse source device, their emotions may become weaker, or they may become... The sea of ​​consciousness will become extremely unstable, so a human with stable consciousness and normal nerves is needed to stabilize their emotions. Therefore, our Sky Garden has trained commanders and elites at the Faos Academy. Because time is urgent, each person can only study for three years, but you can also give up entering the academy and become a construct directly. I believe some people already hate the infected bodies. From the expressions of the people, you can see what you have experienced in the disaster. However, the probability of death from becoming a construct is still very high. I recommend acting cautiously and starting to make your choice now. Those who want to enter the Faos Academy stand to my left, that is, in front of Commander Hassan. Those who want to become a construct stand to my right, in front of General Connie. I will give you ten minutes to choose. Your choice is all for humanity."

I chose Faos Academy without much hesitation because I wanted to return to Kowloon alive.

Eden-class Sky Garden

The construction of the "Sky Gardens," the first superluminal space migration ship, was a highly anticipated project of the century. This global collaboration would usher human society into an unprecedented "golden age" of unity and progress.

After the virus outbreak, construction on the Sky Gardens was forced to halt, and the ship took in most of the survivors who had fled into space. Now serving as humanity's starting point for retaking Earth, it remains permanently docked in an arc-shaped orbital dock, maintaining contact with troops dispatched to the surface.
