She watched as the stranges separated themselves into different groups, that immediately began to do something, but what it was that they were doing was a mystery to her.
A group of men and women had gathered most if not all of the children before they began to use what could only be chalk to write on the boards that another group had brought with them.
This was part of the oddities that she had seen today for she had no way of knowing just how these people were doing what they were doing.
She had seen a group of armored men carrying metal and other materials into one of the buildings, then she began to hear the sounds of hammers hitting something.
The problem with the sounds wasn't that they could be heard throughout the old city and would no doubt catch the attention of both the gangs and anyone that heard them.
No the problem with the sounds was just how unearthly they were.
She knew that she was hearing the sounds of several hammers hitting metal, but each strike sent chills down her spine.
It took most of her strength not to run away, for even if she did, where would she run to?
It took nearly all of her will to turn her head in another direction and she saw a group of men and women using some kind of mixture to fix the various holes that the buildings had.
This act had somehow freed her from the sound control and so she watched as the strangers repaired most of the nearby buildings.
She watched as the men and woman walked into one of the buildings and out of pure curiosity she followed them into it.
She watched as they repaired the parts of the building that needed to be fixed, but they left everything else untouched.
"Maybe they ran out?" she said to herself, but she was proven wrong when the group began to walk up the stairs and continued to walk until they reached the fifth floor.
It was completely dark now and if someone or something was here she had no way of knowing it until it was too late.
She felt her eyes widen as three orbs of light began to float in front of the strangers before two of the orbs flew toward both ends of the hallway.
She watched as the strangers repaired everything and then began to clean the rooms and hallway when they were done.
The last of the orbs floated above her and while the strangers did see her they considered her not to be a threat as they repeated their actions.
She watched as the strangers fixed and cleaned the building but always left the dirt and any other trash they had gathered at the edge of the stairs.
If it wasn't because she had seen so many oddities today she would have commented on the stranger's unnatural speed.
Cleaning and fixing these many floors was something that took more than a day, months, or even years, but they had done it with time to spare.
"Well do it from here."
"To here." one of the strangers said to the others as he pointed at one room before he stepped out and pointed at another.
The men and women that were with him, immediately walked into the rooms opened the windows and somehow threw ropes that were tied to grappling hooks onto the building next to the one she was in.
It didn't take long for something to grab the rope and pull them.
She watched with amazement as the strangers began to build a rope bridge that connected both buildings.
"We're done get the kids in here." one of the women said to someone and before she could think about saying anything she listened to the sounds of people walking up the stairs.
She watched s the children walked into each room and she watched as the boys and girls separated from each other.
She followed the strangers that had fixed the floor as they swept the trash down the stairs until they reached the first floor and began to spread it around erasing the footprints that had been left behind.
She followed the strangers back to the fifth floor as she knew that no one would be allowed to step on the first floor any time som.
When she reached the fifth floor she noticed that more spheres were floating inside each of the rooms.
She could see the white-gray and black smoke that the stranger or someone else was using.
That was an issue for the smoke told everyone that someone had food and if they didn't have food then that person would be the food.
In another part of the city, Asuna placed an x on a building, the meant that the building didn't have anything valuable inside it.
For some reason when the people of this game left they left everything, computers- books and furniture it was all there.
It had all long since become trash but the guilds could fix that problem.
She noticed the fly was flying around her and her team again she walked towards a piece of concrete that was no bigger than a pebble and picked it up.
In less than what a person could blink she used the piece of concrete to kill or better said break the drone that was following them, this was the tenth maybe the twentieth drone that someone had broken.
She doubted that anyone living in this city was responsible for the drones so that only left the other city, the one that was behind the fence.
"This is Auna to everyone else, assume that whoever spying on us now knows what the x's mean to switch colors and symbols."
"We are abandoning ay meaning behind them so go nuts."
"Don't forget to send everyone an updated map so that they don't end up getting confused when they enter a building and find that it's either empty or has something we want," she said to the scouts that were exploring the abandoned city.
Asuna smiled as she began to receive text messages from everyone.
For whatever reason, the players still had their help screens, which meant that they still had most if not all of their skills and equipment.
