Chapter 41: Step outside the wall

The next morning, at dawn, Dudian and others were woken up and gathered outside the castle.

There are more than a dozen black horses parked here. Dudian already knows that these extremely tall black horses, called "Black-toothed Horses", have strong disease resistance and can move outside the giant wall for a short time.

"Get on the horse and get ready to go." Pete rode on a tall horse, like a handsome knight, and ordered.

Dudian and others each chose a black-toothed horse and turned over and jumped on it. If their bodies had not been strengthened, they had to borrow a ladder to ride such a horse at their size, but now they only need to use the force to step on it.

"Set!" Pete shouted softly, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and ran away first.

Dudian and others pulled the reins and followed closely behind.

These black-toothed horses have been professionally trained and are not as terrible as they look, obedient and extremely easy to control.

There was still some wet fog on the street in the early morning, and the sound of horse hooves was extremely crisp. Under the leadership of Pete, Dudian and others rushed all the way along the street and gradually rushed to the outer edge of the commercial area. And the vaguely huge wall, far away in the horizon, also became clearer. The black shadow was like a crawling beast in the morning fog, giving people an indescribable sense of awe and oppression.

On the outer edge of the commercial area, like residential areas, there are large areas of unreclaimed wasteland, which is desolate and mainly sand and wasteland. It is not suitable for cultivation and planting, and naturally it is not suitable for people to live in.

When stepping into the desolate radiation area of ​​the outer edge, the black-toothed horses that were sitting on the crowd became restless, both as excited and as manic as they were, and their speed of running suddenly increased. After walking straight for more than ten minutes, the giant Sylvia wall hazy behind the morning mist gradually became clearer in everyone's vision, and as it became clearer, the huge black oppression was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

This is a huge wall that is so high that it is almost invisible. The closer it gets, the less it is, the higher the height of the huge wall is, as if it leads to the depths of the clouds. The thick wall is natural, as if it is built by a god. There is no trace of construction. It is like a complete natural stone!

This is...the giant wall!

Everyone, including Dudian, opened their mouths and looked shocked. When they came to the front of the giant wall, everyone felt that they had become as small as an ant, and to the entire giant wall, they were like a grain of sand and dust!

"Very...high!" Macon raised his head, his neck folded almost ninety degrees, but he still couldn't see the top of the huge wall.

Zaqi said in a daze: "This is the huge wall built by our ancestors?"

Everyone was shocked by this great and magnificent project.

Dudian felt the deepest. He knew very well how amazing it would be to build such a huge wall in front of him. Even in the old days, it was extremely difficult to accomplish, and it took countless manpower and time. The disaster broke out extremely suddenly and there was no time to give people the opportunity to build such a super shelter. He could not imagine that those who survived the explosion of nuclear bombs could build such an incredible architectural miracle.

"This is the giant Sylvia wall that protects us. It was built by our ancestors and gods." Pet had a hint of pride in his eyes. He turned around and looked at everyone, and smiled and said, "Come with me, little guys." He gently lifted the horse rope and approached the giant wall. When he was about one hundred meters away, he stopped, turned over and dismounted, looked around on the ground, and soon saw the target, walked over and bent down and raised it.

With a creaking sound, the heavy iron door was pulled open, and there was a huge iron door under the sand here. It was lifted under the amazing arm strength of Pete. Below the iron door was a step leading to the underground.

"Get in." Pete said.

Everyone was a little surprised, but they still quickly dismounted and entered the tunnel under the iron gate.

Pete was the last one to come in and closed the iron door. Everyone suddenly felt isolated from the world. They couldn't help but feel panic. The steps in front of them spread into the darkness, as if leading to hell. There was a faint oil lamp on the wall, and a slight cool air gushed out from the tunnel, accompanied by the whistling sound, like a ghost crying.

"Me, aren't we going outside the giant wall?" A girl turned around and said with a timid look.

Pete smiled and said, "Why, I'm scared like this? It seems that Tobu, that guy, haven't trained your courage well in the past three years."

Dudianchi said: "Do you enter the outside of the giant wall from here? Isn't it from above, there is no door?"

"Of course not." Pete urged: "Go quickly, we're waiting for you."

Dudian said in surprise: "There are others?"

"Of course, although you graduated from regular scavengers, it was your first time to go outside the Giant Wall. This time, the headquarters has arranged two old seniors for your team to support you. In addition, according to the convention, you have included twenty scavengers cultivated by consortiums in your team. Although some of their professional knowledge is slightly lacking than you, you have been to outside the Giant Wall for a lot of times and have richer experience than you. At critical moments, you have to learn humbly." Peite smiled.

Dudian was stunned for a moment and said nothing.

At this time, everyone went down the steps, which were beyond imagination, at least hundreds of meters. After finally reaching the bottom, there was a spacious underground passage in front of everyone. The passage was silent, and the oil lamps on both sides shone quietly, reflecting some stone carvings on the wall.

"This is the "Goddess of Harvest"." Pete pointed to a graceful and graceful woman on the wall and said, "Please pray well and wish you a lot of rewards on this trip."

Dudian and others would see these goddess statues at the square of the Holy See of Light and some intersections in the residential areas. They were not unfamiliar with them. They immediately stopped in front of the Goddess of Harvest, clasped their hands together, and lowered their heads to pray.

"This is the "hunting goddess." Pete pointed to another stunning woman next to him and said, "Every time a hunter travels, he will worship the hunting goddess to bless them to make the hunting smoothly." He said, taking the lead in walking forward.

Dudian and others finished their prayers and followed him.

This spacious underground passage is extremely long, about two or three hundred meters long. At the end of the passage is an identical step. Everyone goes up the steps. Not long after, they arrive at the end of the top of the steps. There is also a huge iron door here, which has been opened at this moment, like a skylight.

When Dudian came out with Pete, he immediately saw that it was a desolate dead grassland, with more than 20 figures sitting or standing, waiting more than ten meters away.

"Finally, Pete, you're slow enough." At this time, a chuckle came, and the person who spoke was a young man with a black soft armor, with a tall body, wearing a two-foot dagger around his waist, and the black mask he was wearing was pulled to his chin.

Pete smiled and said, "What's the hurry? It's still early."

The young man with black soft armor smiled slightly, glanced at Dudian and others, and said, "I heard that among the newcomers this time, there is a seed with good qualifications, and he has the hope of becoming a hunter?"

Pete raised his hand and patted Dudian on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "It's him, I'll work hard on the way and you'll take care of it."

The young man with black soft armor looked at Dudian and smiled and said, "No problem, okay, it's still early. We're going to set off. We'll have a meal when we come back. Remember to treat you."

"I ask me to invite you every time, you are so stinging ghosts." Pete laughed and scolded, saying to Dudian and others: "I wish you good luck. Remember not to act without permission and don't leave the team. I hope I can see everyone back safely in ten days." As he said that, he turned around and entered the underground passage and left.
