As before, while some of the buildings in the factory district were still up and running, there were also stretches of large abandoned ones. Akira and Alpha made their way primarily through these dilapidated, crumbling factories. Here they could clearly see the broken remains of mechanical guards. Such places were comparatively safer, since their autorestoration systems were inactive and their guards wouldn’t be reactivated anytime soon. Even so, Akira left the route planning to Alpha, focusing chiefly on staying vigilant.

Along the way, he also occasionally passed through sites that looked brand-new, corridors that showed no sign of degradation over time, and freight tunnels that were still accessible. Yet none of the guards there ever seemed to notice him. Whether they were powered down, simply hadn’t spotted him, or were just ignoring him, he didn’t know. But he remained wary nonetheless as he proceeded.

After a while, he reached an area with paved roads and comparatively better upkeep, and was immediately greeted by a large robot. It looked like a tank, except in place of treads it had a multitude of legs, each with tires at the bottom. It also carried an enormous artillery piece on its back that looked like it fired normal shells—but which was actually a laser cannon.

Following Alpha’s instructions, Akira hid in the shadows of a nearby wall and observed the enemy. As he did, a thought came to his mind. Say, isn’t this machine supposed to be guarding the surrounding area?

That would be a logical assumption, yes, she replied.

Well, even though some of these factories are still running, they were built during the Old World, right? Which means even if these guards have been copied from past ones, and have been moved around in the ruin over time, their designs are still from back then?

Essentially, that’s correct.

Akira hesitated. Something was bothering him quite a bit. If the people of the Old World felt the need to outfit their guards with weapons like that... Akira gulped. Then just what on earth were they defending these factories from?

That’s a question for the archeologists, not me. And keep in mind not all guards have the same specs. Or maybe the factory’s administrative system had to adapt to the times and modify the designs of its guardians accordingly.

Oh, so as more hunters showed up, it had to beef up security? Something like that? Akira nodded.

Actually, it’s likely the opposite, she said with a smile. Because only hunters were showing up, the admin probably lowered its guards’ specs to save on resources.

Wait, what? Akira was dumbstruck. Was she saying that the monstrous robot in front of him was a weakened version? He felt like the more he learned about the Old World, the less he understood.

But that’s all irrelevant—at least for the time being. Right now, all you need to worry about is defeating that thing.

Roger! He’d already fought a similar opponent on the Serantal Building grounds, so he knew the drill. He fired his CWH directly into the monster’s cannon, destroying it.
