Chapter 38 After the War

Nearly one-third of the city was destroyed in two consecutive wars. Although the burning smoke and dust had dissipated, the ruins of the city were still telling the cruelty of the war. After destroying the plan for mechanical invasion, the brave citizens defeated the invasion of seven monsters from other worlds and could finally rebuild their homes with tears in their eyes. The streets were filled with various roaring large-scale construction tools, and many workers were busy building vehicles, controlling the operation of the equipment.

According to Delia, before the invasion of machinery, similar tasks were much easier than now. Only a very small number of engineers were required to complete the construction of a large building quickly. However, it is not possible now. No one dares to use purely automated machinery to work anymore. All equipment requires manual operation steps, which seriously slows down work efficiency, but also eliminates the tragedy of automatic machinery being controlled again.

However, when the shadow-seekers witnessed the construction scene with their own eyes, they realized that the so-called severely reduced work efficiency seems to be a subtle difference from what everyone imagined.

Well, in a construction site surrounded by many workers and construction tools, the building frame is increasing at a speed that can be distinguished by the naked eye. In less than an hour, a building at least 70 meters high had risen from the ground and completed the construction of the external frame. Then, a large amount of gelatinous fluid was poured into the frame, the upper layer was still flowing, the lower layer had solidified, and turned into a hard stone wall. No wonder the exterior walls of the building seen by shadow traversers before did not have the gaps left when they were built. In this way, there were naturally no gaps left in the overall casting method.

More than a dozen construction sites were constructed at the same time. After the building was leveled, the buildings were like mushrooms in the forest after the rain and drilled out of the ground one by one. Soon, the dilapidated blocks returned to their original appearance. The brand new buildings covered the old scars, and the previous war seemed to have never happened.

"Tsk tsk, why are they so skillful?" Shul smacked his tongue and sighed, "How many times have you experienced it?"

"Uncle, although I don't know why, there is always an urge to kill you, but you're right. We've experienced similar actions countless times." Delia pointed to the solidified building in the distance. "The mechanical invasion will happen once a month or two. Although it is rarely the same as the previous day, most of them are much smaller, but they will destroy some buildings every time, so the workers are very skilled in building construction. In your world, how long will it take for similar buildings to be completed?"

"Uh, I haven't built it before, the architectural style is different." Several shadow-chasing people looked at each other and finally focused their attention on the dwarf. "Mobak, how long will it take?"

"Hey, Ovregan is here, and they all look at what I do. We dwarves have never built such a strange building, okay?" Even though that was said, architecture expert Mobak was the one with the most say. He stared at the construction site for a while and said, "According to the level of construction in Pavatiga, similar buildings will take at least one year to complete."

"So quickly?" Even Mia was startled, "I thought it would take at least ten years."

"That's the magic tower of your mountain elves. Mage, don't underestimate our dwarf construction technology." Mobak's attitude was extremely arrogant, so arrogant that he had forgotten who he was talking to. But the next moment, he was defeated under the cold gaze of the extreme north ice field, and shrank his neck and muttered, "Anyway, we are amazing. Ovrodar Castle was completed in just eighty years. A tall building of this size is almost a year."

"That's too slow, short uncle." Delia was amused by the interaction of several people. "If building a building takes so long, the speed will not be as fast as the mechanical destruction. In a few years, the city will be demolished to the ground. Hey, it seems that there are places in our world that are better than you."

Is it better for most of them to be better than us? In addition to personal combat capabilities, each of the shadow-seekers kept their faces as usual, but what they thought in their hearts was self-evident.

"I hate this place, I hate such buildings. Damn, there is no beauty of architecture at all. Architecture is art. Do you understand art? Every building is exquisite crafts. What are they doing now? In large-scale reproduction, this is blasphemy, a blasphemy to art, I..."

"silence."

The thunderous noise finally disappeared. Delia felt a refreshing sound in her ears and couldn't help but give Mia a grateful look. But the next moment, the girl grabbed Shul's night and lowered her voice and said, "Look, it's out."

Not far away, there were hundreds of people in the large building complex of the city hall just now that the girl said was a city hall. There were hundreds of people standing out in line. These people were wearing equally thin uniforms, their hair was wet, and their faces were full of confusion. They instinctively followed several subordinate officials in the city hall leading the way, occasionally talking to each other, asking each other what was going on, but obviously, everyone felt that it was inexplicable and no one could give an answer.

"Hey? These people feel so familiar." If Shuer hadn't grabbed his tail in time, Moria might have jumped over and watched, but even so, the wild animal tried hard to poke his head and wait and see, "Youyou, I remembered that these were just strangled by me, and that one, oh? Didn't I shoot his head with an arrow? Why didn't there be an arrow hole left? And... wuwuwu."

Moria's remarks were really too curious. She forced Shul to cover her mouth and pull her behind her so that she would not be noticed. Among the living people, only the senior officials knew their image. Shul did not want everyone to make trouble. After all, the local residents were serious, and their behavior was not much cuteer than the mechanical beast. Well, at least the mechanical beast did not sway with thousands of zombies that destroyed the worldview in their minds.

In addition to the wild deer whose brain is obviously different from ordinary people, it is inevitable to be a little embarrassed to see these victims, especially after the first wave of resurrected humans walked over, the subsequent waves were victims of another battlefield several times, which made Saf feel embarrassed to lift her head. She didn't know what she did after the violent. After coming back to her senses, there were already incomplete zombies around her, but she was not stupid. She could clearly see who caused the tragedy from the wounds of the corpse. As a mild person who is rare among shadow chasers, she still felt a little guilty.

"Hi." Only Shuer could say hello when he passed by. It was his request to come here. From the beginning, he carefully swept everyone's face and compared it with the dead in his memory. Well, there was almost no loss of personnel. It seems that the ability of the Life Archives is still outstanding. No wonder under the siege of machinery, the Sky City can compete with the mechanical beast for decades.

"You..." A group of resuscitators were taken back to the recovery center. What awaited them was the memory reconstruction that lasted for several days, that is, people were sent to tell them that during this lost memory, the key events that occurred in the city, and at the end were officials who looked at the shadow-tracking person with doubtful eyes, especially one of them looked particularly ugly, and he was probably one of the few insiders. "Is there anything wrong with standing here?"
