As the metal boot sole rolled over the charred remains of a mech, the冥域碎星匕首 in Lin Ye’s right hand suddenly emitted a low, resonant hum🔊. As the lone-wolf sniper of the Federation’s 7th Reconnaissance Squad, he had been tracking the rogue armorer through the apocalyptic ruins of Erfa Prime for three days. This dagger was a top-secret prototype smuggled out by the armorer, embedded with a core fragment from the冥域 star; it could not only effortlessly pierce a mech’s energy shield but also intercept electromagnetic signals within a radius of one kilometer. When he followed the signal to pinpoint the hidden hatch of an abandoned armory, he found only the armorer’s cold corpse behind it. Suddenly, a tiny chip弹出 from the dagger’s hilt💾—and inside was irrefutable evidence that high-ranking Federation officials were colluding with the Zeta civilization to betray frontline soldiers. In the distance, the roar of heavy mechs’ engines echoed. Lin Ye gripped the dagger tightly, the faint glow of the chip illuminating his tense profile: Should he infiltrate the Federation’s inner sanctum armed with this evidence, or expose this earth-shattering conspiracy right here and now? His shadow flickered in the crevices of the ruins before finally taking a step toward the direction from which the mechs were approaching🚶.
