At least with the Dragari, humans were still treated as living beings. Here, humans were only batteries.
Alex spent hours looking for the right building.
No matter how much he tried, he found no clues to tell which building was which.
Only a few were clearly used by drones to pick up items.
He could have gone in to search each building. He judged it was not efficient.
After thinking it over, he decided to return to the sewer and follow the flow where the body parts fell down.
When he reentered the sewer, the situation had changed. There was more activity.
Drones buzzed through the tunnels, moving as if they were searching for something.
'Did they find traces of me and MingYue?' he wondered.
He watched for a while. Then he realized the drones were not aiming at him.
They were moving in the opposite direction.
'Is it Alice or the others?' he thought.
He already knew someone must have moved the portal to hide it, in case he and MingYue came back.
