If we get there

I'll make you anything you want.

Anything?

Yes, even food, anything you like.

Really?

Killy.

To be honest, we don't even understand

half of what she's saying.

But...

we'd like to take a chance

with you, and her.

- Hurry!

- Aren't there any more spare batteries?

- Take as many spears as you can!

- We need one more person!

- Leave some to defend the village.

- Do we have enough helmettals?

Stop stalling, all of you.

Hey, Zuru!

We'll be fine as long as we're with Killy.

Let's go. Follow me.

Yes, sir.

What is that?

I heard they found it

at the Rotting Shrine.

Is that thing really alive?

Yes, I'm alive.

Hey, Sutezo. Is it true?

Will she really make us food

if we take her to this

automated factory place?

I told you, don't ask me.

It's true.

I can make thousands

of the portable rations

like the kind Killy had.

Thousands?

How wonderful if that's true.

Pops, is it really safe

to believe what this thing says?

If you have a problem with my decision

then go back right now.

I don't have a problem.

Right?

I never had a problem to begin with.

Shut up and walk.

Pair up and get in a circular formation.

- Don't leave much space between you.

- Yes, sir.

There was no need for you

to come along, Tae.

My sister's doing better thanks

to the food that Killy gave us.

I need to repay him.

And also, wherever Zuru goes...

I go with her.

Tae.

Things must be desperate for you

to be bringing these children along.

To be honest,

there aren't many of us left

who can use the Electro-Fisher gear.

A watchtower!

Hey.

Is that what's doing it?

What is this place?

Hey, Killy.

You're not going to just leave me

somewhere on the way, are you?

Killy.

Killy's metabolism is different

from normal humans.

He very rarely needs to eat.

Really?

Well, what about you?

I'll pass.

But I appreciate the thought.

Were you scared?

Yeah. But I'm fine.

When those Safeguards come...

the air around them stinks of ions.

It's like, you know...

your nose kind of stings.

Did you smell it?

I was so frantic...

I don't really remember.

Actually, I think I kind of did.

Now that you mention it,

there was a weird smell.

I see.

That's the type of thing

you have to experience to understand.

Yeah.

Remember this.

When Electro-Fishers camp,

we always light a fire like this

and sleep beside it.

It's the way we've always done it.

Why?

Because...

we're on edge all day

when we're out hunting.

It's said that

the sight of fire is soothing to humans.

I'm sure that's been true since long ago.

Since long before the city

came to this state.

At the end of the day,

people would watch the fire

to put themselves at ease.

I've waited for so long.

There were others with me before...

but they all passed away.

No one knows how long

the city has been like this.

One day the contagion

just suddenly started

and humans lost the power

to connect with the city.

After that, the city started to expand

at random

and the Safeguard regarded humans

as illegal residents

and began to exterminate us.

I was the chief scientist of Kaito,

a district far away from here.

In that district,

we'd excavated some information

from the remains of the city

and managed to use it

to preserve human life.

But we knew it couldn't last for long.

My group of scientists

found a way to simulate

the Net Terminal Gene.

My coworkers and I

set out in search of another place

with a connection port.

And that's where we found it.

Along our journey...

one, then another of us died.

Even the ones who managed to reach

there, during the experiment they all...

I'm sure Kaito is gone now, too.

The automated factory is through here.

Pops.

Yeah.

No one who's gone this way

has ever come back.

They must have been caught

by the defense net.

But with me and Killy here,

you'll be okay.

You heard her.

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

This is the entrance

of the automated factory.

There are still automated factories

like this here and there around the city.

This is the closest one to your village.

It opened!

You were able to connect?

You don't need to be able to connect

to the NetSphere for something like this.

What are those?

So, this is what they call a factory.

What are these pool things?

Killy, put me on that console.

INITIATE:

Look!

Yes!

Wow!

Now we'll never have to worry

about food again!

Yeah!

Zuru, look! It's amazing.

Yeah.

Killy, can you hear me?

I'm having a little trouble.

Take that synthetic terminal

and get ready to escape.

I still can't move yet.

Be careful.

I dug in pretty deep. Last time

this happened, things went very badly.

Is that one of those synthetic terminals

you told us about, Cibo?

With that, we can stop the city, right?

Hey, you.

Pops!

Retreat in two groups.

The cargo team goes first.

Fighters, draw them in and take them out.

Yes, sir. Cargo team, hurry!

Tae!

Hurry!

Exterminators! So many.

Tae!

Forget your pack, just come!

But...

- Tae!

- Zuru!

Hurry!

Here they come.

Lure them in first.

Right.

Cibo!

Retreat!

Incredible.

We're going!

Hurry!

Tae! Can you hear me? Tae!

Tae! Where are you?

Damn it!

- Atsuji! Are you okay?

- My leg.

Where's Tae?

Where?!

Up there.

She was crushed by an Exterminator.

Zuru!

Zuru! No!

Zuru! Zuru!

Tae! Tae!

Tae.

Thank goodness.

Zuru.

I'm sorry, I'm okay now.

Tae, are you okay?

Yeah.

Tae!

Thank goodness.

Man, you're so reckless.

Sorry.

Are you all okay? You're not hurt?

Tae's arm is broken.

Tae, can you move?

- All right, let's go.

- Yes, sir.

Where's Cibo?

She was crushed.

Safeguard!

They're still crawling around.

Hey, Killy!

Hey, you! Fire that weapon from before!

What's wrong with you?

Why don't you shoot?

Sorry I'm late.

I've come to rescue you, Killy.

Who?

Cibo?

That barrier coating

only lasts 30 seconds.

Run.

Run.

Hurry!

I'm done for.

You go on.

What are you saying, Atsuji? Run!

Get in this car.

Hurry!

It's not broken?

I'm making it work now.

- Can't we go yet?

- Just a moment.

There it is.

Here we go.

It moved!

All right.

I'm out of spears.

I've got two left.

I have one more.

I have two.

Don't give up!

Killy, we'd finally gotten

the synthetic terminal and everything.

It's a shame.

Killy.

Killy!

Why is this guy so heavy?

- We're almost at the village.

- Yeah.

Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

Tae.

They're back! Pops and the others!

Hey, bring out the crane. Time to unload!

Welcome back.

Welcome back, Pops.

- How did it go?

- Did you find the food?

Hey, take that down below.

Yes, Pops.

Don't worry, I'll take her.

- Okay.

- They're injured.

Get the molecular tape!

She's an awfully big girl.

Is that the person

who looked like a corpse before?

Is he dead?

I don't know.

Bring it around slowly.

It's pretty heavy.

This girl sure is strong.

Killy's fine. He's just sleeping.

Take him inside.

Right.

With all this, we should be fine

for four to five months.

So, it was worth gathering
