New Zealand actually released China ahead of schedule! At the beginning, I was shocked by the scene of the superpower crushing the nameless town. With the development of the plot, the female protagonist's life experience, the male and female protagonists Xiao Roman, and the forces of all parties began to advance. Overall, the plot changes too quickly within two hours. In the end, the super war in London Mountain was a little weak. The male protagonist was still changing his jacket when he was nervous after the whole process. Should Nima spray a hairspray? It was the usb held by the heroine that ended the war and made people want to laugh. I almost cried when I died! I was born as a human, but was transformed into a mech
