《fall into darkness》Chapter 41: Step outside the wall
Advertisement
The next morning, when the sky was bright, Du Di'an and others were woken up and gathered outside the castle.
There are more than a dozen black horses parked here. Du Di'an already knows that these extremely tall black horses are called "black-toothed horses". They have strong disease resistance and can move outside the giant wall for a short time.
"Get on the horse, get ready to go." Pete instructed, riding a tall horse like a handsome knight.
Du Di'an and others each picked a black-toothed horse, turned over and jumped on it. If their bodies were not strengthened, they would have to borrow a ladder to ride such a big horse, but now they can get on it with just a little effort. .
"Let's go!" Pete shouted lowly, with his legs between the horse's belly, and ran first.
Du Dian and others pulled the reins and followed closely behind.
These black-toothed horses are professionally trained, not as scary as they appear, obedient and extremely easy to handle.
There was still some wet fog on the street in the early morning, and the sound of horses' hooves was very crisp. Under the leadership of Pete, Du Di'an and others galloped all the way, along the street, and gradually ran to the outer edge of the business district. The outline of the vague, distant giant wall gradually became clear, and the black shadow was like a crawling giant beast in the morning fog, giving people an indescribable sense of awe and oppression.
In the outer edge of the commercial area, like the residential area, there are large areas of uncultivated wasteland. The land is desolate, mainly sandy soil and waste soil. It is not suitable for cultivation and cultivation, and naturally it is not suitable for people to live in.
When they stepped into the desolate radiation zone on the outer edge, the black-toothed horses that everyone sat down became restless, both excited and manic, and their running speed suddenly accelerated. After walking straight for more than ten minutes, the huge Sylvia wall behind the morning fog gradually became clear in everyone's field of vision, and as it became clearer, the huge black oppression was deeply imprinted. in the hearts of all.
This is a huge wall so towering that the top can hardly be seen. The closer you get, the less you can see the height of the giant wall. It seems to lead to the depths of the clouds. No traces of construction can be seen, just like a complete natural boulder!

This is... a giant wall!
Including Du Di'an, everyone opened their mouths and looked shocked. When they came to the front of the giant wall, everyone only felt that they had become as small as ants. To the entire giant wall, it was like a grain of sand!
"Okay...high!" Macon raised his head, his neck folded almost ninety degrees, but he still couldn't see the top of the giant wall.
Zach said blankly: "This, this is the giant wall built by our ancestors?"
Everyone was shocked by this great and magnificent project.
Du Di'an felt the deepest. He knew very well how amazing it was to build such a huge wall in front of him. Even in the old times, it was extremely difficult to do. It took countless manpower and time, and the disaster broke out. Extremely suddenly, there was no time to give people the opportunity to build such a super shelter. He could not imagine that those who survived the nuclear bomb explosion alone could build such an incredible architectural marvel.
"This is the Sylvia wall that shelters us. It was built by our ancestors and the gods." With a hint of pride in his eyes, Pete turned to look at the crowd, and said with a smile, "Come with me, little guys." Lightly lifted the horse rope, approached the giant wall, stopped when it was about 100 meters away, turned over and dismounted, looked around on the ground, and soon saw the target, walked over and bent over to mention it.
With a creak, the sound of the heavy iron door being pulled open, I saw that under the sand here, there was a huge iron door. It was lifted up by Pete's amazing arm strength. Below the iron door was a staircase leading to the ground.
"Come in," Pete said.
Everyone was a little surprised, but they dismounted quickly and entered the tunnel under the iron gate.
Pete was the last one to come in, and he closed the iron door. Everyone felt isolated from the world, and they couldn't help but panic. They saw the tunnel steps ahead spread into the darkness, as if leading to hell. There were faint oil lamps on the walls. Cold air poured out from the tunnel, accompanied by a whistling sound, like a ghost crying.

"Me, aren't we going outside the giant wall?" A girl turned her head and said timidly.
Pete smiled and said, "Why, you're scared like this? It seems that fellow Tuob, he hasn't trained your courage well in the past three years."
Du Di'an said: "Is it possible to 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, they are all waiting for you."
Du Dian said in surprise: "Is there anyone else?"
"Of course, although you are a regular scavenger who graduated, but after all, it is the first time to go outside the giant wall. The headquarters has arranged two seniors for your team this time to help and support you. In addition, according to the usual practice, it will be included in your team. There are twenty scavengers cultivated by the consortium, although some of their professional knowledge is slightly less than yours, but they have gone to the outside of the giant wall a lot and have more experience than you. Te laughed.
Du Dian was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
At this time, everyone went down the steps, and the steps were unimaginably deep, at least a hundred meters. When they finally reached the bottom, there was a spacious underground passage in front of everyone. The passage was silent, and the oil lamps on both sides were quietly shining, reflecting some stone carvings on the wall.
"This is Tike, the Goddess of Harvest. "Pete pointed to a graceful and graceful woman on the wall, and said, "Pray well and wish you a fruitful trip." "
Du Dian and others will see these goddess stone statues in the square of the Holy See of Light and some intersections in residential areas. .
"This is the "Goddess of the Hunt". "Pete pointed to another beautiful and valiant woman next to him, and said: "Every time the hunters go out, they will worship the goddess of hunting and bless them with hunting." " Said, taking the lead and walking forward.
Du Dian and others finished their prayers and followed behind him.
This spacious underground passage is extremely long, about two or three hundred meters in length. At the end of the passage is an identical step. Everyone follows the steps up. After a while, they come to the end of the top of the steps. There is also a huge iron gate. It had already been opened at this moment, like a skylight.
When Du Dian followed Pete out, he immediately saw that it was a desolate and dry grass, with more than two dozen figures sitting or standing, waiting more than ten meters away.
"Finally here, Pete, you are slow enough." At this moment, a light laughter came, and the speaker was a young man in black soft armor, with a tall and straight body, wearing a two-foot dagger at his waist. The black mask was pulled up to the chin.
Pete smiled and said, "What's the hurry, it's still early."
The young man in black soft armor smiled slightly, glanced at Du Dian and others, and said, "I heard that there is a seed with good qualifications among the newcomers this time, and is there any hope of becoming a hunter?"
Pete raised his hand and patted Du Dian on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's him, you have to take care of one or two more along the way."
The young man in black soft armor looked at Du Dian and smiled: "No problem, it's alright, it's not too early, we're going to leave, we'll have a drink with you when we come back, remember to treat."
"You ask me every time, you bitch." Pete scolded and said to Du Dian and others: "I wish you all the best, remember not to act on your own, don't leave the team, I hope to see everyone come back safely in ten days. "Speaking, turned around and entered the underground passage to leave.
Du Di'an followed his figure and saw that there was still the towering giant wall behind him. I didn't expect that the way they came out was from the channel dug at the bottom of the giant wall's foundation.

Marine Nick Lucifay is a female inhabitant of Earth, always too ready to run. When presented with an opportunity of adventure, her ape-brain figures that adventure is probably worth the consequence of death. And so, setting off to the nearest McDonalds, Marine Nick finds herself in the midst of an intergalactic struggle that involves a great quantity of bubbles.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
