The world can burn 1

One week after losing his left arm due to a virus infection, Airon stood imposingly atop a building in the midst of the now-ruined and undergoing reconstruction city of Atlanta. His appearance bore resemblance, in many aspects, to that of someone who had nothing left to lose, exuding palpable coldness.

Airon wore a tight black jacket that fluttered slightly in the wind. His facial expression was unperturbed, with a calm yet intensely dangerous gaze. His blue eyes, now more piercing than ever, reflected the determination and cunning of a seasoned warrior.

Airon's brown hair, slightly longer than usual, swayed gently in the air. A scar marked his face, serving as a reminder of the battles he had fought and the adversity he had overcome. His firm jaw and impassive countenance denoted an inner strength that nothing could break.

Around him, the scene was desolate. Collapsed buildings and debris were scattered everywhere. In this once bustling and vibrant part of Atlanta, there was now an eerie silence. Only the wind blowing through the remnants and the echo of devastation could be heard.

Airon's presence in that desolate environment was like that of a solitary king, an indomitable leader who rose above despair. His upright and confident figure, defying the chaos that surrounded him, served as a reminder of his ability to face any challenge.

The atmosphere surrounding Airon was charged with tension and mystery. Every step he took resonated firmly in that destroyed landscape. It was as if the very air held its breath, anticipating his next move.

During this time, Airon's appearance one week after the amputation was vastly different. His coldness and calm yet extremely dangerous gaze stood out amidst the ruins of Atlanta. His imposing presence and ability to dominate the environment, even in the midst of chaos, made him an enigmatic and powerful figure.

After the devastation suffered in the city of Atlanta, a painstaking reconstruction process began. Airon's people, aware of the constant threat of walkers, dedicated themselves to implementing innovative technology in the construction of the new buildings, with the aim of preventing any possible infection.

Every door, hallway, and corridor was meticulously designed to ensure the safety of the inhabitants. Access control systems were implemented at every entry point, ensuring that only authorized individuals could enter. Motion sensors and surveillance cameras constantly monitored the areas, detecting any suspicious activity.

The materials used in construction were carefully selected to prevent the proliferation of walkers. Reinforced walls, bulletproof windows, and high-resistance doors became standard elements in the new buildings.

In addition, rigorous hygiene and disinfection measures were implemented. Handwashing stations, hand sanitizer dispensers, and protocols for frequent cleaning became part of everyday life. Each individual was responsible for their own safety and the care of others.

Technology also played a crucial role in infection prevention. Advanced filtration systems ensured air purity, eliminating any possible contaminants. Lighting systems were designed to avoid shadows and dark corners, minimizing blind spots where walkers could lurk.

With each new building that rose, hope was reborn in Atlanta. The combination of cutting-edge technology and meticulous precautions provided Airon's people with a sense of security in the midst of a dangerous world. They knew that although threats would always be present, they were doing everything possible to stay safe and protect their community from the horrors that lurked beyond their doors.

The doctor looked at Airon seriously as he explained the new robotic arm that would be implanted in him. This innovative device would use cutting-edge technology and communicate directly with the nerves in the stump of his amputated arm, allowing him to control it with his mind.

The robotic arm would be much more than a simple prosthesis. It would be equipped with special features designed to adapt to Airon's needs. The hidden knife would be a surprising element, with the ability to disappear and appear at will, providing a useful tool in combat and survival situations.

But that wasn't all. The doctor continued explaining that the arm would also be equipped with an integrated weapon. The barrel would be cleverly concealed in the palm of the hand, ensuring quick and surprising access when needed. Cartridges would enter through a special hole located at the back of the arm, allowing smooth reloading between Airon and the device.

All of this was possible thanks to advances in science and biomedical engineering. The robotic arm connected directly to the remaining nerves in Airon's stump, interpreting the electrical signals generated by his brain and translating them into precise actions.

The doctor looked at Airon seriously as he began to explain in detail the features of the new robotic arm.

"Airon, this robotic arm is an incredible advancement in prosthetic technology. It uses a direct neural interface to communicate with the nerves. With your mind, you'll be able to control it as if it were your own arm.

Airon nodded, showing interest in what the doctor had to say. "How will it work exactly? How will it connect to my nerves?"

"We'll use electrodes implanted in the remaining nerves in your stump. These electrodes will pick up the electrical signals that your brain sends to your muscles, and the robotic arm will interpret them to generate the desired movements. It's an advanced technology that allows direct communication between your mind and the arm."

Airon absorbed the information, imagining the possibilities that this new robotic arm would provide him.

"And what special features will this new arm have that you're preparing?"

The doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "In addition to the basic gripping and manipulation functions, we've incorporated some additional features. For example, the arm will have a hidden knife that can appear and disappear at your will. We've also included an integrated weapon in the palm of the hand, with the barrel hidden for quick and surprising access. Additionally, we've implemented an optimal reloading system, where cartridges would enter through a special hole at the back of the arm."

Airon was surprised by the mentioned features but also realized their usefulness in his fight for survival. "Sounds impressive, doctor. How long will it take for me to adapt to this new arm?"

"Adaptation can take time and will require training and patience. The process of learning to control the arm with your mind and getting familiar with the new functionalities will take a few weeks. But with dedication and practice, I'm confident that you'll be able to make the most of all the capabilities it offers." The doctor didn't hide anything from Airon.

Airon nodded, determined and interested in this type of arm.

"I'm ready for it, doctor... Thank you for your efforts. I'm aware that we all do twice as much as we can to maintain the stability of the world."

The doctor was surprised to hear Airon's words, smiled with mixed feelings, and said, "I'm honored, sir. Thank you for creating a future for all humans."

Both shook hands, sealing their mutual commitment. Airon knew that this new arm would be an invaluable tool in his quest for survival and hope in a devastated world. Together, they were ready to face any challenge that stood in their way.
