**When the apocalypse hit, Shanghai was enveloped in a bleak atmosphere. Grey smoke smothered the sky, casting a dim pall over everything. Anxious pedestrians hurried along the streets, while reconditioned robots screeched past, and colossal neon signs flickered green. The air hung thick with the stench of steam, wafting from the massive exhaust pipes and towering engines. Yet despite the steampunk aesthetic of this post-apocalyptic world, Shanghai persevered, its high-rises standing tall amid the ruins. Through their windows, people watched the ceaseless bustle below and the city's mechanical arm swing to and fro, gathering everything from goods to garbage. Despite the city's decay, life went on.** - Image #1 <@760266381945208832>
