"Boom, boom, boom. Heavy footsteps echoed through the ruined city, and eight large metal paws stepped on the ground, making the hard ground groan with an overwhelmed moan.

Four humanoid puppets, each of which is about three meters, although they have all the limbs, but each part of the body is angular, and it can be clearly seen that it is a mechanical human shape rather than a real human body, but their movements are flexible enough, well, they are flexible enough for their size, and they are no different from ordinary people in their gestures, and the joints of flexion and extension are even more agile than the real human body, judging from the fact that they can withstand such a heavy metal body, the strength is also quite terrifying, and the shadow chasers even think that their leg strength has far exceeded their own, and the upper body may be a little worse, but it will not be too bad, if the strength is hard to fight head-on, I am afraid the odds of winning will not be very great。

What's more, they won't fight hard with the enemy, these humanoid puppets each have an extended barrel at the wrist, the diameter of the pipe is enough to accommodate two index fingers inserted side by side, this caliber of weapons, I'm afraid even the outer wall of the building can easily penetrate, not to mention the curved flesh, even if the shadow chasers have energy protection, well, maybe they can fight head-on for a while, but if it takes a long time, they will definitely suffer heavy damage.

In addition to the weapons on their wrists, they also held guns longer than humans in their hands, and they formed a loose formation in front of them and behind them, slowly walking along the streets, showing no doubt that they would attack as soon as they noticed something unusual.

However, none of this was enough to attract the attention of the Shadow Chaser, and what really made the Shadow Chaser vigilant was that the behavior of these four humanoid golems was much more humane than the other puppets, especially their movements and high vigilance attitude when seeking enemies, which was impossible for ordinary mechanical golems to have.

"Maca Jalen. "The shadow chasers have subconsciously lurked behind a shrub, even if they have the ability to integrate, the shadow chasers do not dare to take it lightly, they must always be vigilant when they are in danger, and must not believe too much in the effect of the divine power, otherwise once the divine power loses its effect, it will induce a fatal crisis. Therefore, it is better to be cautious in everything.

"Understood, sir. The halfling shook his fingers, took off his hat and bowed at the same time, disappeared into the shadows of the bushes, completely lost his trace, Delia stared blankly at the suddenly disappeared halfling, in the past few days with the shadow chasers, she had seen too many incredible things, but it was the first time I had seen a scene of a living person suddenly turning into a flat state and blending into the shadows.

"Boom. "The footsteps continued, the patrolling humanoid golems were still advancing, and there were often other kinds of mechanical golems passing by on the road of the abandoned city, and sometimes those puppets would also block the path of the four metal humanoids, but the actions of these humanoid golems were unexpected, they actually did not wait for the other golems to pass before continuing to act, but directly raised their legs to kick the same kind of people in the way, and it was not that kind of unconscious collision, it was obviously intentionally kicked away.

The innocent puppet that was kicked away maintained the performance of an ordinary machine, and after rolling on the ground to stabilize its body, it returned to its previous path as if nothing had happened, and did not act as a fighter because of the attack, and the humanoid puppet did not have the consciousness of the abuser at all, and continued to move forward as if nothing happened, as if it was just a stone blocking the way.

"Huh. Someone on the side of the road suddenly shouted, and the halfling showed his figure on the side of the road, beckoning to the metal puppets, as if acquaintances on the road were greeting each other, seemingly random actions, but everyone's hearts were hanging, waiting for the metal puppets to react.

Indeed, the four metal golems turned their heads towards Macageren, and the machine-built vision processor locked onto the halfling at the same time. However, after just a casual glance, the golems turned their heads back and continued their previous patrol.

"Safe. Macageren gave a thumbs up to the shadow chasers from afar, but after saying this, the halfling retreated into the shadows, after all, they were thieves who could not see the light, and the shadows could give them enough security, and even if they were safe, he did not want to be exposed for too long.

"I want to ...... Try to attack them. Shuer was not completely relieved, he stared at the backs of the four metal golems and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Moria, work, pay attention not to be too strong. ”

"Yo-yo, a tree won't attack, I'll only drop fruits. As he spoke, the fawn shook his hair, and several acorns shot out of his hair and smashed towards the humanoid golem.

Different from the previous test of throwing acorns, the speed of this acorn ejection is very fast, and it already has a certain lethality, and if it is flesh and blood on the opposite side, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist the impact of acorns at all.

"Smack. "The acorns smashed on the metal humanoid body, and the acorns that were not reinforced with energy exploded under the impact, and the huge force was transmitted to their humanoid bodies, and the humanoid puppets shook for a while, but fortunately, they quickly re-stabilized their bodies, and did not add a few traces of destruction to the buildings of the ruined city.

Suddenly attacked, the metal figure was obviously startled, and the four puppets actually quickly gathered, first looking around vigilantly back to back, but of course they didn't find anything, but they didn't continue to patrol immediately, but like people, the four metal heads came together, as if they were silently discussing something. After discussing for a while, they resumed their original patrol route and slowly disappeared into the depths of the ruined city.

Maka Jaren had been re-exposed as the metal figure looked around, and the metal figure's gaze swept over him several times, but he remained oblivious to him as if he didn't exist.

"They are by no means ordinary puppets. It wasn't until the humanoid disappeared from view that Shul whispered, "I suspect that they already have intelligence no less than normal humans. ”

"Agreed. Mia said with a straight face, "They just behaved too much like humans. ”

"Wei, you search. Shur pondered for a moment and ordered, "See if there is any mention of this in the information of the city network." ”

"No, Your Excellency, Commander. It didn't even take ten seconds for Wei to give the answer, "The humans in the Floating City know very little about puppets, and they know almost nothing except those species that have participated in the mechanical invasion. ”

"Well, to be expected. Shure sighed and said with a gloomy face, "I suspect that the human side has made a serious mistake, and the mechanical camp has not swallowed everyone's minds into one, but has kept some of them in a separate form. ”

"Those humanoid puppets are containers that carry individual thoughts, perhaps...... They are just another form of human beings. ”
