Walking through the severely glitched streets.
If not for the robot Little Yellow's ability to precisely parse environmental program states and plot a concealed, functional route, Han Dong and Green might have accidentally encountered glitches, or worse yet, ending up completely frozen and immobile.
It's apparent that [Mother Matrix] is, even in its final moments, trying to shrink everything inward as much as possible, stretching its domain and Makoms City's internal defense to the absolute limit.
Yet it remains gravely and irreversibly affected.
If the Matrix were a flesh-and-blood entity, it would undoubtedly be in a state of missing limbs or suffering from severe injuries that cannot heal—completely incapable of contending with Death.
