Chapter 5 Part 1
It was getting dark. Angela and Dingo were spying the state property ruins. The beacon signal was lost in this very city. It was not clear if the transmitter was discovered or if something was blocking the signal. They observed for several hours, but no one had appeared. Getting inside, they came across just one working robot on the central street. He was just like the others, but he had a red cap with a sign on the sensor module on his head. He was just standing, not doing anything. Hiding behind a ruined fence, looking at the digital monocle, Angela said, ”What do you think?”
Watching all this from the scope lens of a sniper rifle, Dingo answered, ”Obviously, this is not just a scarecrow&h.e.l.lip; We have to think this through. The signal disappeared here. I don't think that we could just pa.s.s by him.”
”Do you think he will attack?”
”If that was the case, he would have waited in ambush, but he is standing in the open.”
”Is he just there to frighten us away?”
”He looks weak. No matter how much you look at him, he just doesn't look like a serious security guard. He is there for something else.”
Angela put away the monocle and looked at Dingo.
”But what is he for then?”
”Maybe he's greeting someone.”
”Huh?”
”Well, this is the marked place.”
Dingo held out the rifle to Angela.
”You will cover.”
”What did you come up with?”
”I'll go say h.e.l.lo. If anything&h.e.l.lip; Do you know how to use it?”
Angela s.n.a.t.c.hed the sniper rifle. She took a short course on using weapons from the real world. And this semi-automatic rifle of the infantry snipers was no exception.
”I'm counting on you.”
