Chapter 54: Abandoned Capital

The four human-shaped puppets rumbling away and never returned. The ruins of the city returned to their original calm, but the shadow-seekers could not recover their calmness. If, as Shuer guessed, some of the mechanical puppets in the mechanical camp were hiding human thinking, then the plan for this action would probably change.

It’s not because of ethics and human nature, nor because the opponents were originally humans to change their goals. The minds of the strong are not so easily shaken. The problem is that human thinking is much more complex than ordinary mechanical beasts and has significant independence. It is much more difficult to get involved in the Tower of Babel in front of such an opponent than to face a group of purely mechanical mechanical beasts.

"Shelf for the time being." Shuer said with a frown, "Everyone gave up concealing and went directly into the city road system, keeping a compact formation and moving forward normally. Oh, giving up concealing does not include Delia."

"I understand." The shadow-chasingers were stunned, but no one asked more questions. The seven people rushed onto the normal road at the same time, leaving the weeds everywhere, and stepping on the solid stone ground, and inevitably had the illusion of returning to the civilized world.

"Stay normal speed, and Marca Jaylen, don't be sneaky." Shul fell at the end of the team, his eyes kept patrolling left and right, as if he was really patrolling, "Moriya, come back to the center of the team, and you are carrying a man on your back."

"Hey? She has come down." Moria jumped back to the middle of the formation obediently, and did not forget to turn around and ask Delia behind her, "Right."

Shuer rolled his eyes and ignored her at all. This guy would never give up the orders. The problem was that some headaches always popped up in his mouth, which made people laugh and cry. Of course, in this team, Moriya was definitely not the only one who spoke in the team. For example, the dwarf who had never been quiet since he walked on the city road.

"Ofrigan is on it, and there is another crack. Oh my god, there is a big pit. Hell, this kind of thing can be called a road?" Mobak whined his battle axe angrily, and bypassed the crack on the ground, complaining in a rough voice, "In our dwarf city, even a drainage ditch on the side of the road is smoother than the road here. God, there is a broken wall. Damn, should the wall be placed here? Are these mechanical creatures stupid? I don't know how to clean it up. Bastards, they walk around every day, don't they feel that it's inconvenient? A bunch of lazy ghosts, Lord, punish these lazy borers, I..."

In fact, the mechanical beasts did not feel that it was at all wrong. The bumpy ground was indeed a serious problem for humanoids walking upright, but for all kinds of mechanical beasts crawling all over the ground, there was no difference between the plain, especially the most numerous mechanical spiders, who were completely unhindered by broken walls and gravel, walked flexibly between obstacles, and even flew quickly in front of the shadow-trapping people from time to time, as if they were silently mocking Mobak.

"Damn bastards, you dare to mock the dwarf. Wait for me, sooner or later, I will smash you into pieces." The indignant dwarf completely ignored the fact that the so-called mockery was just thinking about it. "If I hadn't been afraid of being discovered by you, I would have kicked you away long ago."

"Then you just kick." Shuer's gloomy voice came from behind the team, "I won't stop you."

"Uh, hahaha, captain, I'm just talking, joking." The dwarf scratched his head awkwardly, pretending to have a honest laugh, "I won't really make a fool of myself."

"But I'm not just talking, I'm serious." Shuer pointed forward, "The one blocking the way, kicked away."

"Ha?" Mobak's mind had not yet reacted, but the consciousness of obeying the order had already driven his legs to react instinctively. With a bang, the metal armor collided with the metal body of the mechanical spider, making a dull sound. The mechanical spider flew in response, and the landing point was even further than the one hit by a human-shaped puppet just now. However, Mobak was not stupid. He was still responsible when he stepped out. The metal spider was also not damaged. He skillfully turned over and quickly climbed back to the original path. Then, he was kicked away by Shuer for the second time.

"Hey? Is it so fun?" Lin Jing's nature was revealed again, and she was eager to try it and wanted to kick it with her. However, she still remembers Delia on her back, so she could only secretly instigate Saff, "Sasa, you have great strength, come and try it too, and see if you can kick it directly into the Tower of Babel."

"No need." Xiuer interrupted Lin Jing's delusion mercilessly, "I probably know what type of existence we have in the mechanical camp's cognition. No wonder, even if there are humans around in the Sky City, those mechanical beasts did not recognize us as humans and attack us."

Indeed, the effect of the integration of the divine power only allows observers of this world to draw a reasonable conclusion on the observations of the shadow-seekers, rather than forcibly treating them as their own people. In human cities, it is most reasonable for mechanical beasts to recognize these strange-dressed outsiders as humans and attack them, unless there are similar existences in their camps. This question has always troubled Shuer, making him feel uneasy. Fortunately, there is finally an answer, and there are indeed humanoid creatures in their camps.

"Do you think of us as metal humanoids? No wonder you have to act openly on the road." Mia said thoughtfully, "Then should we do the same thing as them?"

As he said that, he also made a move of holding a firearm with both hands.

"No, there is no need to imitate to this level. If it is just a detailed action, the power of integration can be self-consistent." Shuer shook his head and frowned and said, "I am worried about another problem."

"Um?"

"Shh."

"Dongdongdongdong", the ground trembled again, and several human-shaped puppets came from the opposite side. This time, they were in groups of three, and they were still the same equipment. Meeting each other head-on was the moment to verify the speculation. Although the shadow-tracking players kept their movements, they all secretly held their weapons and were ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Fortunately, the other party just glanced at everyone a few times, made a subtle nod, and continued the previous actions. When passing by, he even took the initiative to give in to the side, not at all as savage as he was to treat ordinary small mechanical beasts.

There must be human thinking. From the other party nodding and greeting, the shadow-seekers no longer doubted. Such humanized actions can only be done by higher intelligent creatures.

"Okay, just act publicly." Shur thought for a while and ordered, "Don't go to the Tower of Babel first, and take a look in the buildings that are still in operation."

However, this idea was stopped shortly afterwards. Just as everyone left the waste city and wanted to enter a building that was obviously a factory, a mechanical sound stopped several people.
