Chu Feng: B.E.E

Bioengineering has transformed warfare by creating Vanguards, soldiers enhanced with nanomachines that grant extraordinary combat abilities at the cost of their own lifespan. Liuli has spent years as one of them, and after countless missions she is left with only 380 days to live.

Her next assignment seems ill-suited to someone trained to kill: rescue a hostage from a civilian facility. The captor, Zhou Zhongrong, is a former Vanguard who demands that the authorities hand over the mysterious 'Son of Eden.' Liuli initially sees him as a disgrace to their kind, but their confrontation exposes wounds left by the same system that turned both of them into disposable weapons.
