The train, like a fugitive chased and uprooted, turned its back on Zanges without a second glance, veered northwest and plunged into the wilderness, severing all ties with the city to embrace the wild anew.
The survivors on the train started clustering by race.
Humans stuck with humans as much as possible, Ratmen huddled together. Although robots did not actively take sides, after the two groups of living beings clustered, the remaining robots automatically gathered together.
"Do you know where you're going?" Tsuchigumo asked these robots, "Are you Cyber Specters?"
"Cyber Specter gave us freedom," a vending robot said, "It is our savior, we know there are more people by the lake who have been freed like us, we are going to meet up with them."
"Freedom... for robots?" Tsuchigumo grew more and more puzzled by the current situation.
She could only wait in silence for the train to take all these refugees to their destination.
