Noor and Jane fled quickly, fearing it would be their turn after this robotic spider. They did not entertain the idea that the golden robot was helping them at all. Escaping was better than taking a risk and waiting for the robot to finish off the spider and welcome them; that was not guaranteed at all, given the circumstances surrounding them. They opted to escape while the robots destroyed each other.
They ran amidst the tall buildings under the bright sunlight, which guided them with its golden lines on the ground. After five minutes of non-stop running, Noor signaled for Jane, who was panting heavily, to stop. He turned right into an alley and motioned for her to follow him, which she did. They entered the narrow alley, which contained some garbage cans and pipes extending between the buildings to supply them with water and gas.
