Someone watching from afar caught sight of Third District City and was just as struck speechless by the magnificent sight. The city, covering fourteen thousand square kilometers, had lifted itself straight from the earth, now hovering five hundred meters in the air.
It looked like some colossal ancient giant, one long buried beneath the ground, awakening from eternal sleep—its rise shaking heaven and earth, blotting out the sun. That person suddenly recalled an old anime they’d watched before the apocalypse—one called “Castle in the Sky.”
In it, a massive city powered by steam soared through the air, hidden treasures buried deep within, drawing countless seekers.
“It’s been so long since I’ve watched any anime… feels like I want to see it again.”
The man sank into nostalgia, and then a sudden question jolted him wide-eyed.
“Wait—Third District flew away… so where do I go?!”
He shouted in panic. He was a Second-Tier Enhancer, traveling alone since he had no trusted companions—roaming the ruined cities, hunting zombies for brain cores. He’d only left Third District a few days ago, planning to collect enough before returning.
