Snatching people didn't mean ordinary residents or employees working in the new District Government city. They were after the clones secretly cultivated by the government.
When the city came under attack, the underground clone factory was protected by a substantial number of High-level Players, since it was the most heavily guarded place around. After dealing with the robots, the Players began arranging for the clones to retreat.
There were too many clones to transport by train, so they could only be sent to another relatively safe location using a large-scale space transporter. However, the device took a long time to activate, and once it started up, there was no way to keep it from drawing attention. In the past, the government had claimed the factory was simply operating. Under today's circumstances, there shouldn't have been much disturbance, but they had run into the Ya tribe people, who were searching everywhere for their fellow tribesmen.
The clones in the new District Government city weren't all the same. In other words, just like Dr. Dorr, they had prepared multiple clones for a single person. Some were older, others younger, and all of them were unconscious during transport, with numbered Metal Collars around their necks.
One major problem with cultivating clones was that they were more fragile than naturally born humans, yet took almost as long to grow. Dr. Dorr was proof enough that cultivating clones this way wasn't particularly worthwhile.
