Start a core cabin

The gate of the sky city in front of him was closed tightly, giving off a desolate atmosphere. Although there are lush forests and lawns all around, there is no singing of birds, and there is no breath of life.

"Augis, let's go in and have a look."

"Okay, master."

After receiving Augis's answer, Duanmu Huai hugged Augis, activated the jetpack and jumped up, jumped directly to the top of the city gate, and fell heavily.

"Boom!"

The power armor collided with the stone gate, making a heavy sound, but there was still no movement in the entire city. Apart from grasslands and trees, there doesn't seem to be any life here. So Duanmuhuai also activated the detection servo skull and let it go to investigate nearby—however, even the detection servo skull did not send back a signal of finding any signs of life.

Is this just a dead city? Only the city remains, and everything else is gone?

No way... In short, let's move on and have a look.

Duanmu Huai and Aojisi jumped down from the city gate, came to the other side, and moved forward along the overgrown road. This city looks very unique in style. Although most of the buildings are made of stone, it has a geometric beauty created by technology—well, in fact, it is hard to say whether the building material is stone or not. .

"Roar-----!!"

However, just as Duanmu Huai and Aojisi crossed the road and came to the fork ahead, suddenly, a huge black shadow roared like a wild beast, jumped down from the roof, and headed directly towards the They pounced. Facing this sudden attack, Duanmuhuai hastily raised the hammer in his hand and turned to face the enemy. The two sides collided and then separated again.

It wasn't until this time that Duanmuhuai saw clearly what the black shadow that attacked him was.

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at the monster in front of him, Duanmuhuai was in a daze for a while, only to see in front of him was a thing that looked like a humanoid robot made of metal. It's just that its limbs are in the form of beast claws, and its head is like a lion, with a tail like a lizard and wings like a goshawk behind it...

【Magic Iron Lion】

【LV21】

"Good guy...the person who built it must have been out of his mind..."

Looking at the mechanical monster in front of him, Duanmuhuai didn't know what to say. However, the metal lion roared again, and rushed towards the two with its teeth and claws. This time, Duanmuhuai showed no mercy, he stepped forward directly, facing the minion of the Demon Iron Lion, and smashed it down with a hammer. The hard and heavy war hammer immediately smashed the iron lion's head into pieces, but even so, the iron lion was still struggling frantically trying to cause damage to Duanmu Huai. However, Duanmu Huai swung his hammer again and hit it like a golf ball. Afterwards, he saw the Demon Iron Lion roaring and flew backwards, hitting the wall not far away, turning into a A pile of scrap iron.

"It seems that this city is not so stable."

After being attacked, Duanmuhuai felt much more at ease. At least this shows that the direction of clearance of this fragment should be fighting... and the reason why the detection servo skull did not detect any signs of life is also very simple. I am afraid that the only thing left here is Machines that act on their own.

After that, the encounter between Duanmuhuai and Augustus also verified his conjecture. During the process of exploring the outskirts of the city, they encountered several types of robot attacks. In addition to the previous four-faced lion head, there is also a [prototype mechanical soldier] that looks like a knight, holds two swords and wears a cloak, and a similar-looking [mechanical soldier] that holds a machine gun. These robots Most of the robots are between level 20 and 30. Relying on the continuous army of dolls, these robots are not difficult for Duanmu Huai to deal with.

But on the way, he also became more and more interested in the origin of the city.

From the current point of view, this city seems to be a place where an ancient civilization used to research and manufacture robots... just don't know what is inside.

"Boom!!"

Another mechanical soldier was turned into scrap iron and fell to the ground under the attack of the dolls, while Augis walked over curiously, stretched out her hand and lightly poked the scrap iron mechanical soldier on the ground.

"Master, are these also puppets?"

"To a certain extent, it is indeed..."

"However, I don't see the threads that manipulate them."

Aojisi is very curious about this point. All the dolls in the [Doll Deck] with her as the core need to be manipulated with silk threads. Don't look at Duanmuhuai who always puts a bunch of dolls on the stage every time he fights. , but the threads of each doll are controlled by Augis.

Therefore, she is quite curious about this kind of "doll" that can move without silk threads.

"Their manufacturing methods are different. They can move without silk thread, but the movement is very limited."

Duanmu Huai gave a brief explanation to Augis, and the latter nodded with a vague understanding.

While talking, the two had already walked through the outer layer and came to a place similar to a street. The house next to it had signboards. Although they couldn't understand what was written on it, it could be seen from the style and pattern of these signboards that the place here It should be a shopping street.

Duanmu Huai went in curiously and turned around, but there was nothing inside, and he didn't know if it was because it was empty at that time, or because the fragments were not projected into it.

It wasn't until entering the third shop that Duanmu Huai finally gained something.

"Oh, this is quite interesting."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help feeling emotional. In front of him was an exhibition table, and on the table sat several cute and beautiful girl dolls. Their appearance, clothing and hairstyles are all different. Beside these girl dolls, there are also things like price tags.

"This civilization is a bit interesting."

Seeing this, Duanmuhuai's eyes brightened. Although he couldn't understand the text, he could tell that this should be a place for selling robots. These robots are probably commodities, and most of the signs on the signs are in their format. and function. Although I should have thought of it just now, this civilization does seem to be a civilization that is very good at making robots.

Augis also seemed to be quite interested in these robots that looked similar to herself. She reached out curiously, poking this one and looking at that one. Sometimes you touch yourself, and sometimes you touch the other person, as if you are comparing the differences between the two.

"Well, let's go, Augis."

After observing for a while, Duanmu Huai felt that there should be no clues, so he signaled to Augis to leave.

However, just as the two turned around and were about to walk out of the store, suddenly, a voice came from behind them.

"Okay... can you wait a moment, please?"

Hearing this voice, Duanmuhuai and Augustus turned their heads, and saw a girl robot sitting there on the display table behind them, staring at them with eyes open.
