Chapter 412 Abandoned Capital
The four humanoid puppets roared away and never returned, and the city ruins returned to their original peace. However, the hearts of the shadow chasers could not regain peace no matter what. If it was like Shuer guessed, there were some mechanical puppets in the mechanical camp. Hidden inside is human thinking, so I'm afraid the plan for this operation will change.

It's not because of issues like ethics and human nature, nor does it change the target just because the opponent is originally a human. The minds of strong people are not so easily shaken. The problem is that human thinking is much more complicated than ordinary mechanical beasts. And it has obvious independence. It is much more difficult to sneak into the Tower of Babel in front of such an opponent than facing a group of purely mechanical mechanical beasts.

"Stop it for the time being." Shuer said with a frown, "Everyone gave up concealment, entered the city road system directly, and kept a compact formation to move forward normally. Oh, giving up concealment does not include Delia."

"Understood." The Shadow Chasers were stunned, but no one asked any more questions. The seven of them ran onto the normal road at the same time, leaving the weed-filled soil and stepping on the solid stone ground. It was inevitable that they would feel a sense of returning to the ground. The illusion of reaching the civilized world.

"Keep the normal speed, and Macajron, don't be sneaky." Shuer dropped to the end of the team, his eyes constantly patrolling left and right, as if he was really patrolling, "Moria, come back to the center of the team. , you’re still carrying someone on your back.”

"Eh? She's already down." Moria jumped back to the center of the formation obediently, and didn't forget to turn around and ask Delia behind her, "right."

Xiuer rolled his eyes and ignored her at all. This guy would never compromise on his orders. The problem was that there would always be some troublesome words coming out of his mouth that made people laugh or cry.Of course, in this team, Moria is definitely not the only one who has a headache when talking. For example, the dwarf has never been quiet since he entered the city.

"O'Fregen's up here, there's another crack, oh my god, there's a big hole, hell, can this kind of thing be called a road?" Moback waved his battle ax angrily, avoiding the cracks on the ground. He complained in a rough voice, "In our dwarf city, even a drainage ditch on the roadside is smoother than the road here. God, there is still a broken wall. Damn it, a wall like this Are things supposed to be put here? Are these mechanical creatures stupid? They don’t know how to clean them up. Assholes, they walk around every day. Don’t you think it’s in the way? A bunch of lazy people. Lord, punish these lazy people. Damn it, I..."

In fact, the mechanical beasts don't find it a hindrance at all. The bumpy ground is indeed a serious problem for humanoids that walk upright, but for all kinds of mechanical beasts crawling all over the ground, peaceful ground is not a problem. There is no difference, especially those with the largest number of mechanical spiders, which are completely unhindered by broken walls and gravel. They can move flexibly between obstacles and even fly past the Shadow Chasers from time to time, as if they are attacking Moback. A silent scoff.

"Damn bastards, how dare you mock the dwarf uncle, just wait for me, sooner or later I will smash you to pieces." The aggrieved dwarf completely ignored the fact that the so-called taunting was just in his head, "If it weren't for fear If you find out, I will kick you away long ago."

"Then you kick." Xiuer's sinister voice came from behind the team, "I won't stop you."

"Uh, hahaha, captain, I was just joking." The dwarf scratched his head in embarrassment and pretended to laugh honestly, "You can't really be ridiculous."

"But I'm not just talking, I'm serious." Shuer pointed forward, "Kick away the one who blocks the way."

"Huh?" Moback hadn't reacted yet, but the consciousness of obeying orders 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 It flew away in response, and landed farther than the one that was knocked out by the humanoid puppet just now.However, Moback was not stupid. He was still very measured when he kicked. The metal spider also did not suffer any damage. He turned over skillfully and quickly climbed back to the original path. Then, he was kicked by Shuer for the second time. Kicked away.

"Eh? Is it so fun?" Lin Jing's true nature was exposed again, and she was eager to kick him for fun. However, she still remembered Delia on her back, so she could only secretly tease Safu, "Sasa, If you are strong, come and try it and see if you can kick it directly into the Tower of Babel."

"No need." Xiuer ruthlessly interrupted Lin Jing's delusion, "I probably know what type of existence we are in the mechanical camp. No wonder on the Sky City, even if we are surrounded by humans, Those mechanical beasts didn't recognize us as humans and attack us." Indeed, the integration effect of the sacred power only allows the observers of this world to draw a reasonable conclusion from the observations of the shadow chasers, rather than forcing them to They regard them as one of their own.In human cities, it is most reasonable for mechanical beasts to recognize these strangely dressed outsiders as humans and attack them, unless there are similar existences in their camp.This question has been bothering Shuer, making him always feel uneasy. Fortunately, he finally has an answer. Sure enough, there are humanoid creatures in their camp.

"Do you think we are metal dolls? No wonder you have to act openly on the road." Mia said thoughtfully, "Then should we also make the same actions as them?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of holding a gun with both hands.

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

"Ok?"

"Shh."

"Dong dong dong", the ground shook again, and several humanoid puppets came from the opposite side. This time they were in groups of three, still with the same equipment.When they met head-on, this was the moment to verify their speculations. Although the Shadow Chasers did not change their movements, they secretly clenched their weapons, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Fortunately, the other party just glanced at everyone, made a slight nod, and then continued his previous actions. When they passed each other, he even took the initiative to give way to the side. It was not like treating ordinary small mechanical beasts. brutal.

There must be human thinking. From the moment the other party nodded to say hello, the Shadow Chasers no longer doubted that such human actions could only be performed by highly intelligent creatures.

"Okay, let's act openly like this." Shuer thought for a moment and ordered, "Don't go to the Tower of Babel yet. Go look inside the buildings that are still functioning."

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

"Stop, you're off course."

　The group numbers are 263, 084, and 458. Well, let’s announce them again. Those who are interested can join the group.
