Chapter 1848 Into The Dome
Like Davey, many Sprouters had their jaws dropped to the ground when staring at the colossal walls that stood higher than anything else they have seen in this life. "I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but this…" This was too incredible, right? They were afraid only the Gods could reside behind these walls with the way it grew. Ants? Forget about feeling like ants. Micro organisms… They felt like microorganisms when staring at the ridiculously thick and soaring structures that went to the skies. They felt that even the Titans, from attack on Titan, would have issues crossing over this wall. And this was just the forest wall of 3? With those inside long expecting their arrival, all 13 giant metal prison-like gates underneath the walls opened one by one. Like a centipede's many legs, the group had to pass through all 13. 3 vehicles could drive in simultaneously through the tunnel path underneath the walls. Vrmmm!~
Time was of the essence, and so their inspection was also rushed. Once in, the doors of their vehicles were pushed open, and out came everyone, jumping down with their heavy boots. "Begin Inspection!!" "Yes, sir!" The hundreds and hundreds of men gathered within the space swiftly took action, checking the vehicles diligently with weapons on hand. "Clear!"
"Clear!" "Cle–… Stowaway caught!!" What? A stowaway?
Davey's eyes lit up when seeing a masked silhouette in all black. A spy! The spy tried to escape, also shocked by how fast he was caught. You have to know that after being in Baymard for a while, he has practiced the art of rolling under vehicles and handing on for his dear life, especially when it concerned rolling under trucks. Who doesn't want to know what was in here? .
Every flipping spy was more than curious to know what secret operations were going on down here. Sure, Baymard and Arcadina both released public statements, informing the world that the only thing behind these walls were monsters. But who can say for sure if any of this was true? Hmph! They might be secretly using this place as a training site or a new research area for more godly artifacts. What's more, just look at these walls? These walls were far thicker, bigger and taller than any walls in Baymardian. Even Baymard's Royal Capital didn't have walls so majestic. And then, you stand there to tell them that there is nothing fishy going on in there? (?~?)
The Veinitta spy refused to believe it! Just like him, several guilds had sent them out to gather more info on everything Baymard does. Don't blame them for only now waking up and taking this matter very seriously. After Veinitta became flooded with all sorts of Baymardians goods, they had no choice but to wake up and acknowledge Baymard and Pyno, larvae who were about to break free from their cocoons. What many in Veinitta feared was that one day, these forces would create crazy godly weapons and come after them. After all, following history, those who always held absolute power tend to have cans of world domination. So yes. In this world, information was too vital for survival. That's why they sent forces out to gather everything they could. They sent death spies who were ready to die at any given opportunity. Sure enough, after the Veitt spy realized there was no way out, he quickly clicked his tongue before the Baymardians could react. And soon… The Baymardian who captured him touched his neck with 2 fingers, and announced: "Dead." They were careless. Typically, no one would even be able to even sneak into the Dome for the Fierce. How could they? There were all sorts of Heat detection equipment devices focused on the surroundings, making it difficult for anyone to ever try sneaking in. Tsk. It would be near-impossible for that to happen. This means that the spy didn't roll under the vehicle near the Dome of the Fierce, but might have done so when the vehicles were leading Baymard's border walls. It seems the spy took advantage of their hasty actions, successfully latching himself under their truck. Unfortunately for the spy, no matter how much in a rush they were, they must always carry out inspections upon entry into the Dome of the fierce. For all you know, an enemy might have put poisonous substances on the vehicles or even managed to drop explosive materials in there. No matter what, mistakes and negligence are part of human nature. That's why even if an enemy succeeds at the start, they must ensure they don't get victory in the end. Davey felt pale when seeing the spy caught right before his very eyes. 'In future, I must always follow protocol!' Like a reminding wakeup call, many people burned the experience in their brains. Fortunately, it was just one infiltrator that succeeded today. The group decided to do another sweep and later document the matter, swearing to be extra vigilant, even in times of chaos and rescue. At no point in time were the military vehicles opened since leaving the Barracks, so none had to be fearful that someone got swapped with face masks. Well, except for the first vehicle that Landon was in, no one stepped out of the others.
. Landon squinted his eyes dangerously. They were indeed careless. "Go… trace back to the borders and the nearby settlements for accomplices." "Yes!" In a flash, several people hopped back on the vehicles, exiting the site as instructed. As for the body of the now-deceased spy, he was to be stripped of everything in his possession… even his underwear was not to be spared. What they searched for were hidden tattoos, marks and hidden documents on him. Whelp! His hair will be shaved to also inspect his skull. After complete inspection, image capturing and documentation, the body then gets incinerated into ashes.
But how was this any of Davey's worries right now?
1,2, 3…
It was only 3 minutes since the spy was caught and now-dead.
Everyone shrugged and hopped back into the vehicles after inspection was completed.
"Go! Go! Go! Go!"
The imposing military trucks drove on formation, moving past Zone 3 without stopping.
From zone 3, they continued on, driving underneath a tunnel underneath The second wall... Now, they were in Zone 2.
Gulp~
Many people swallowed hard, knowing the time for action was near.
They were now in Zone 2, the in-between zone between the Main Forest walls ahead and zone 3 behind.
[ALRIGHT!] A voice traveled through their vehicle's intercom.
[This is where we stop. From here on out, we move solely on foot!]
