Early the next morning, Du Dian and the others were woken up and gathered outside the castle.
There are more than a dozen black horses parked here. Du Dian already knows that these extremely tall black horses are called "black-toothed horses". They have strong disease resistance and can move outside the huge wall for a short time.
"Get on the horse and get ready to go." Pate rode on a tall horse, like a handsome knight, ordered.
Du Dian and the others each picked a black-toothed horse, turned over and jumped on it. If their bodies had not been strengthened, they would have to borrow a ladder to ride such a big horse with their size, but now they only need to borrow lightly to get on it .
"Let's go!" Pate yelled lowly, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and ran first.
Du Dian and others grabbed the reins and followed closely behind.
These black-toothed horses have been professionally trained, and they are not as scary as they look. They are obedient and easy to control.
There was still some wet fog on the street in the early morning, and the sound of horseshoes was extremely crisp. Under the leadership of Pete, Du Dian and others galloped all the way, along the street, and gradually rushed to the outer edge of the business district. And the outline of that faint, far-reaching giant wall gradually became clearer, and the black shadow was like a crawling giant beast in the morning mist, giving people an indescribable sense of awe and oppression.
On the outer edge of the commercial area, just like the residential area, there is a large area of uncultivated wasteland. The land is desolate, mainly sandy soil and waste soil, which is not suitable for farming and planting, and naturally it is not suitable for people to live in.
When they stepped into the desolate radiation area 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 going straight for more than ten minutes, the huge wall of Sylvia, which was hazy behind the morning mist, gradually became clear in everyone's field of vision, and as it became clearer, the huge black oppressive feeling was also deeply imprinted on it. in all hearts.
This is a huge wall that is so tall that the top is almost invisible. The closer you get, the less you can see the height of the huge wall, as if it leads to the depths of the clouds. The thick wall is natural, as if it was built by the gods. No traces of construction can be seen, just like a complete natural boulder!
This is... the giant wall!
Everyone, including Du Dian, opened their mouths wide and their faces were full of shock. When they came to the front of the giant wall, everyone felt that they had become as small as ants. To the entire giant wall, they were like a grain of sand!
"Good... high!" Macon raised his head, his neck was almost folded at ninety degrees, but he still couldn't see the top of the giant wall.
Zach said in a daze, "This, is this the giant wall built by our ancestors?"
Everyone was shocked by this great and magnificent project.
The shock in Du Dian's heart was the deepest. He knew very well how amazing it is to build such a huge wall in front of him. Even in the old days, it was extremely difficult to do, and it required countless manpower and time. The disaster broke out so suddenly that there was no time for people to build such a super shelter. He couldn't imagine that those who survived the nuclear bomb outbreak alone could build such an incredible architectural miracle.
"This is the giant wall of Sylvia that shelters us. It was jointly built by our ancestors and the gods." There was a trace of pride in Pate's eyes, he turned to look at the crowd, and said with a smile, "Come with me, little ones." Lightly Lifting the horse rope lightly, he approached the huge wall. When he was about 100 meters away, he stopped, turned off the horse, looked around on the ground, and soon saw the target, walked over and bent over to lift it.
There was a creak, the sound of the heavy iron door being pulled open, and there was a huge iron door under the sand here, which was lifted by Pete's amazing arm strength. Below the iron door was a staircase leading to the ground.
"Go in," Pete said.
Everyone was a little surprised, but they quickly dismounted and entered the tunnel under the iron gate.
Pete was the last one to come in and closed the iron gate. Everyone suddenly felt isolated from the world, and they couldn't help panicking. They saw the tunnel steps in front of them spreading into the darkness, as if leading to hell. There was a faint oil lamp on the wall. Cold air gushed out from the front of the tunnel, accompanied by whistling sounds, like ghosts crying.
"Me, aren't we going outside the giant wall?" A girl turned her head and said timidly.
Pate smiled and said, "Why, are you scared like this? It seems that guy Tobu hasn't trained your courage well in the past three years."
Du Dian wondered: "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, "Hurry up, they are all waiting for you."
Du Dian was surprised: "Is there anyone else?"
"Of course, although you graduated as regular scavengers, it is the first time to go outside the giant wall after all. The headquarters has arranged two old seniors for your team this time to guide and support you. In addition, according to the usual practice, we will arrange for you to join the team. I have hired 20 scavengers cultivated by the consortium, although some of their professional knowledge is slightly less than yours, but they have gone outside the giant wall a lot, and they have more experience than you, and you have to learn humbly when it is critical." Special laughed.
Du Dian froze for a moment and said nothing.
At this time, everyone went down the steps, and the steps were unexpectedly deep beyond imagination, at least hundreds of meters long. 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 "Harvest Goddess" Tik. Pate pointed to an elegant and graceful woman on the wall, and said, "Pray well, I wish you a fruitful trip." "
Du Dian and others will see these stone statues of goddesses in the square of the Holy See of Light and some intersections in residential areas. They are no strangers. Immediately follow Pete's words, stop in front of the harvest goddess, hold hands together, and bow their heads to pray. .
"This is the Goddess of the Hunt. Pate pointed to another heroic and stunning woman beside him, and said: "Every time hunters go out, they will worship the goddess of hunting to bless them with smooth hunting. "Speaking, take the lead and walk forward.
Du Dian and others finished praying and followed behind him.
This spacious underground passage is extremely long, about two to three hundred meters long. At the end of the passage is the same step. Everyone went up the steps. After a while, they came to the top end of the steps. There is also a huge iron gate here. It has already been opened at this moment, like a skylight.
When Du Dian came out with Pete, he immediately saw a desolate withered grass field, with more than 20 figures sitting or standing, waiting more than ten meters away.
"It's finally here, Pate, you're slow enough." At this time, a chuckle came, the person who spoke 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 is pulled up to the chin.
Pete smiled and said, "What's the rush, it's still early."
The young man in black soft armor smiled slightly, glanced at Du Dian and others, and said, "I heard that among the newcomers this time, there is a seed with good qualifications, who has the hope of becoming a hunter?"
Pete raised his hand and patted Du Dian on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's him, it's hard for you to take care of me along the way."
The young man in black soft armor looked at Du Dian and said with a smile: "No problem, that's it, it's not too early, we are leaving, and I will have a drink with you when I come back, remember to treat me."
"I invite you every time, you jerk." Pate scolded with a smile, and said to Du Di'an and others: "I wish you all the best, remember not to act without authorization, and 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 Dian looked along his figure, and saw that the towering wall was still behind him. He didn't expect that the way they came out was to come out from the passage dug at the bottom of the huge wall foundation.
