As he stepped out of the elevator, Duanmu Huai found the situation a bit different from what he'd imagined.
Originally, in Duanmu Huai's imagination, the lower nest district should be in utter chaos, with mobs and guard soldiers shooting at each other, a complete mess.
But the reality was different. When Duanmu Huai exited the elevator, he found that the noisy sounds of battle had disappeared. It wasn't that the battle had ended; it was because the thick rock walls blocked out those sounds. The reason was simple, as one could see from the scene before them.
This was a mine.
Duanmu Huai stood on the platform and looked down, seeing before him a quite ordinary mine shaft. Those mecha servants were manipulating tools, excavating the cavern. It seemed not much different from what the Mechanical Religion usually did. However, doing this beneath a Hive City was somewhat unexpected. Duanmu Huai turned his head, glancing at the elevator buried in the rock wall behind him.
