Chapter 39 Exploring the Fortress
The gate of the sky city in front of me was closed tightly, giving it an air of desolation. Although there are lush forests and lawns around, you can't hear the singing of birds, nor is there any breath of life.
"Ogis, let's go in and take a look."
"Okay, Master."
After getting Ogis's answer, Duanmuhuai hugged Ogis, activated his jetpack and jumped up, directly to the top of the city gate, and fell heavily.
"Boom!!"
The power armor collided with the stone door, making a heavy sound, but there was still no movement in the entire city. Apart from grasslands and trees, there seems to be no life here. So Duanmu Huai also activated the reconnaissance servo skull and asked it to go to the nearby area to investigate - however, even the reconnaissance servo skull did not send back any signals of life signatures.
Is this just a dead city? Only the city remains and everything else is gone?
No way...Anyway, let's move on and see.
Duanmuhuai and Ojisi jumped off 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 of technological creation - well, in fact, it is hard to say whether the building material is stone. .
"Roar————!!"
However, just as Duanmuhuai and Ojisi crossed the road and came to the fork in front of them, suddenly, a huge black figure roared like a wild beast, jumped down from the roof, and headed directly towards They pounced. Faced with this sudden attack, Duanmu Huai also hurriedly raised the war hammer in his hand and turned to face the enemy. The two sides collided together, then separated again.
It wasn't until this moment that Duanmu Huai saw clearly what the black shadow that attacked him was.
"What the hell is this?"
Looking at the monster in front of him, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a while. What he saw in front of him was something that looked like a humanoid robot made of metal. It's just that its limbs are in the shape of wild beast claws, and its head is like a lion, with a lizard-like tail and goshawk-like wings behind it...
【Demon Iron Lion】
【LV21】
"Good guy...the person who built it must have had an abnormal brain..."
Looking at the mechanical monster in front of him, Duanmu Huai didn't know what to say. However, the metal lion roared again and rushed towards the two of them with its teeth and claws. This time Duanmu Huai showed no mercy. He stepped forward, faced the claws of the Demonic Iron Lion, and struck 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 crazily trying to cause damage to Duanmu Huai. However, Duanmu Huai swung the hammer again, hitting it like a golf ball. Then he saw the magic iron lion roaring and flying backwards, hitting the wall not far away, and turned into A pile of scrap metal.
"It seems that this city is not that stable."
After being attacked, Duanmu Huai felt a lot more at ease. At least this meant that the clearance direction of this fragment should be fighting... And the reason why the detection servo skull did not detect any signs of life was also very simple. I am afraid that the only thing left here is A machine that can act on its own.
After that, the encounters of Duanmu Huai and Ojisi also verified his conjecture. While exploring the outskirts of the city, they encountered attacks from several types of robots. In addition to the unlikeable lion head from before, there is also a "Prototype Mechanical Soldier" that looks like a knight, holding two swords and wearing a cloak, and a "Mechanical Soldier" that looks similar, but holds a machine gun. These robots Most of the robots are between level 20 and 30. Relying on the endless army of puppets, 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 this city.
From the current point of view, this city seems to be a place used by an ancient civilization to research and manufacture robots...but I don't know what is inside.
"Bang!!" Another mechanical soldier turned into scrap metal and fell to the ground under the attack of the puppets. Ogis walked over curiously, stretched out her hand and gently poked the scrap metal mechanical soldier on the ground.
"Master, are these also dolls?"
"To a certain extent, it is true..."
"But I didn't see the threads that controlled them."
Ojis is very curious about this. All the dolls in the [Puppet Deck] with her as the core need to be controlled by silk threads. Don't look at Duanmu Huai who always puts a bunch of dolls on the field every time he plays. , but the threads of each doll are controlled by Ogis.
Therefore, she was quite curious about this kind of "doll" that could move without silk threads.
"Their manufacturing methods are different. They can move without silk threads, but their movements are very limited."
Duanmuhuai gave a brief explanation to Ogis, who nodded vaguely in understanding.
While talking, the two of them had already walked through the outer layer and came to a place similar to a street. The houses next to it had signboards. Although they couldn't understand what was written on them, it could be seen from the styles and patterns of these signboards that this place was It should be a shopping street.
Duanmu Huai went in curiously and looked around, but there was nothing inside. He didn't know whether it was because it was empty at the time or the debris was not projected in.
It wasn't until he entered the third shop that Duanmu Huai gained something.
"Oh, this is quite interesting."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. In front of him was an exhibition table, and on the table sat several very cute and beautiful girl dolls. Their appearance, clothes and hairstyle are all different. Next to these girl dolls, there are also things similar to price tags.
"This civilization is a bit interesting."
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up. Although he couldn't read the text, he could tell that this was a place where robots were sold. These robots were probably commodities, and the format written on the brand was probably their format. and functionality. Although I should have thought of it just now, this civilization does seem to be a civilization that is very good at making robots.
Ogis seemed to be quite interested in these robots that looked very similar to herself. She curiously stretched out her hand, poking at this one and looking at that one. Sometimes they touch themselves, and sometimes they touch each other, as if they are comparing the differences between the two.
"Okay, let's go, Ogis."
Duanmuhuai observed for a while and felt that there should be no clues, so he signaled Ojis to prepare to leave.
However, just as the two turned around to walk out of the store, suddenly, a voice came from behind them.
"Can... Could you please wait a moment?"
Hearing this voice, Duanmuhuai and Ojisi turned their heads and saw a girl robot sitting there on the display table behind them opening her eyes and staring at them.
