Chapter 300 Mechanical City



As the drone made its way through the fiery landscape, the images they were getting were not exactly what they were expecting. Bret scratched his head as he watched a bunch of humanoid beings walking with items on their back in long lines as if they were escaping from something. "Why does this seem familiar to me?"

"Because this is exactly what our world looked like during our apocalypse. Don\'t you remember the long lines of refugees? It\'s the same no matter the world. Those who survive will try to find a new place to settle down. It\'s not just a human thing." Tina replied as she let out a sigh. Seeing these long lines reminded her of the past. The people that walked with their children and what little belongings they could carry. It was not an easy time for anyone. Many people died. Many suffered under their own kind. But now they were working on a new and better life. As long as there is light, there will always be a means of rebuilding. Tina looked at Blake\'s back with a warm smile. The light that shined down on the land around her was this man right here.

"Ah right… I almost forgot. I have been living such a normal life lately that things are much different now." Bret rubbed his chin, feeling slightly embarrassed. "But what are they escaping from? I mean, they are walking towards the fields of fire. Is that not seeking their own death?"

"That is what we are going to try to find out." Blake moved the drone along through the sky. Luckily the drone he made was quiet and made no noise, so no one had noticed it. It flew over the long line of refugees until they came to what looked like an ancient city under attack.

Long plums of billowing smoke rose up from the walled city. The sounds of crying and screams could be heard all around. Blake looked at the scene and frowned. "That pillar…. It\'s crushing the wall and rising up into the sky into the clouds, but the beams of light are raining down over the city."

"Look, there are three more of those huge pillars," Erica shouted.

"I think those are legs. Blake, can you fly the drone into the clouds and see if you can see what that thing is?" Bret asked.

"Yeah, one sec. Let\'s hope this thing will not break in the process." Luckily Blake did bring quite a few of them.

The drone rose into the air and flew above the clouds but what he was met with was not exactly what he was expecting. "Is that a city!?"

"A mechanical city. Look, it seems to be using some kind of fuel that is sending out more smoke. It is probably what is responsible for the clouds in the sky. I will fly closer." Blake knew he was risking being seen, but he had to check it out. He had the drone fly closer to what was definitely a city. It was completely made of metal, and there were people living on top of it.

His drone flew over the city, looking down at what looked more like a cross between mechanical and steampunk design. The people looked kind of human, but all had dark green skin. Their hair was an ocean blue. The clothes they wore looked like something you would see back in victorian era. Kids ran here and there, probably not understanding what was happening below.

"I will take a closer look down below." Blake quickly moved his drone away before it was seen and flew back through the cloud bank. The drone dived down into the city ruins below to see that the people did resemble the people above, but they had ratty clothing.

"To think they are destroying their own race. I wonder why?" Sara pursed her lips. She did not like what was going on, but she also knew she could do nothing about it.

"Blake, get a closer look at those legs. I think they are more than just legs." Tina pointed at the leg by the wall. Blake flew the drone over to see that there seemed to be some kind of elevator system there. There were also what looked like robots, but they were not human shaped at all but boxed shaped and on one wheel, rolling across the rubble with ease, collecting bits of metal.

"So they are destroying the city for the metal?" Erica wondered. She did not understand why they would do so far.

"Easy resources. Instead of needing to manufacture it themselves or even search for it. They let these, let\'s say, surface dwellers, collect it and then take it once there is a sufficient amount. Like this city could have been there being built up for years on end. The people on the moving city will then come and farm it as if it is some kind of crop. But what I do not get is what do these people eat? I see no means of food processing unless they do not need to eat." Blake really wondered about this. He saw nothing like farmlands or any other means of producing food.

"They might just feed off the air. Lillia did mention that we could do the same once we evolved enough." Bret replied.

"What! I don\'t think so! I need to eat my dragon meat!" Blake protested. However, he could survive just off blood alone if he wanted to.

"I am just saying you do not need to, not that you can\'t. Didn\'t Lillia live like billions of years or something with no food?" Bret asked.

"That\'s true." Blake nodded his head. Of course, he would never say it like that because Lillia would kill him. She was eternally twenty years old, after all! "Anyway, we should keep an eye on things here for a while. I will send a few more drones out so we can see other areas as well. If the connection drops, the drones will just self destruct so it is fine if they get stuck there." Blake had made sure to put a fail safe on the drones in case they ever got cut off from their connection with the main controller.
