Fell soon got bored with the repeated scenery of industrial constructs and decided to close his eyes. He soon entered a slight meditative state, seemingly unaware of what was happening around him.
The Assault Team Squad thought that the young cultivator had a rough journey and decided to stay quiet for the rest of the trip. The black truck silently traveled in the empty West Highway, its engine roared as it dashed through the void of traffic roads.
By Nightfall, Fell opened his eyes as he heard the other passengers talk. According to Chief Walter, they were going to arrive in a few minutes.
He looked outside of the vehicle, his head popping out of the window. As he saw the view in front of him, his eyes opened wide, and his pupils contracted. Far down the road, he saw it.
The Central Districts still weren't visible to him; his sight couldn't make him clearly see the city's construct as they were still a bit far. But he could see a sea of incandescent light unravel in front of his eyes.
"Beautiful." He murmured between his lips; his mind was smitten by the scenery in front of him.
Further down the road, ten thousand lights dangled in the sky. From the distance, they looked like a group of kindled fireflies that danced in the sky.
As they approached the central district, he noticed that the lights were coming from the multitudes of constructs that formed the megalopolis. Some of them went so high that they seem to pierce through the firmament, breaking through the void in their ascension.
"Looks like our young cultivator is excited," Ronnie exclaimed when he saw Fell's head barge out of the truck.
The intense gust didn't bother Fell as he kept watching the city, his eyes glistened as they reflected the scenery in front of him. His black hair danced in the wind, and a beaming grin was drawn on his lips, under his excited state his laugher thundered in the empty road as they dashed in West Highway.
"That's normal; I was in the same state when I saw it for the first time," Johnny added with deep nostalgia in his eyes, remembrances of his past streaked in his mind.
"We were born there, so we don't really know you guys felt. Though our city was quite well known for its beauty, so your reaction is quite understandable." Ronnie explained before closing his lips, his eyes flashed as he pondered on unknown matters.
Fell's excitation intensified as he saw the firefly-like light turn into incandescent suns under their approach. He turned his head around and swiftly understood that the Assault Team vehicle was advancing at a breakneck, its speed largely exceeding anything that he tried.
Obviously, as a cultivator, he was capable of high movement speed. But its downside was that his top running speed couldn't be maintained for a long duration. Even if he went for the highest ratio of speed and endurance, he would only attain about ten per cent of the vehicle speed.
He considered that he should also find himself a vehicle. Although he enjoyed walking, he wouldn't mind owning his own high gear transport.
The black assault truck silently crossed the remaining distance, rapidly approaching what looked like a roadblock. Thankfully, they were currently in a vehicle of the public function and dashed through it.
But that was what he thought. As they traversed the security roadblock, Fell didn't sense any human activity in his surroundings.
"My senses might be flawed due to my current high speed." He pondered a little bit, before brushing the matte to the back of his head.
As they swiftly dashed in the Highway, Fell began noticing blurred borders in the sky. Squinting his eyes, the indistinct lines turned into a towering construct that grew up in size as they approached the kindled city.
A sense of wonder was ingrained in Fell's heart. His emotions and intellect were sent in ramble as a humongous city was appearing under his sight, vertigo took his mind as he asked himself how such construct could be built by mortals.
Lost in his wonderment, he didn't get back to his senses until he noticed that the black truck was decelerating; The vehicle further decelerated for a few hundred meters until it stopped in front of a large wall that blocked Fell's view.
Losing sight of the gorgeous scenery that kept his mind enlivened. His eyes darted everywhere as he checked his surroundings, the lack of light from nightfall wasn't enough to block his eyesight.
"Welcome to the Central District! We only need to pass from the last check." Walter explained while resuming their advance.
On their left was a large passageway that cut through the wall that separated the Central Districts from the rest of the city.
As they approached the passageway, he noticed a few armed soldiers that were making rounds in the sector.
They calmly entered the passageway, the soldiers nodding in their direction. They didn't stop Walter's squad for a check due to seeing them leave earlier in the day.
As they traversed the long tunnel, Fell could feel a multitude of scans cross his body. Leaving him with the same cold sensation in his neck. Thankfully, his uneasiness ceased as soon as they left the main district entrance.
"Welcome to New Casablanca's Main District!" The Assault Team exclaimed together, sending shivers through Fell's body.
As he looked behind them, he could see a large wall that encompasses the whole main district. Above the wall was a large dome that traveled all similarly around New Casablanca's Main District. Except that the dome wasn't around the Main District, it circled around the Factory Sector and the Slums, isolating it from the central district.
As he saw the construct, he swiftly lifted his head high in the sky.
His eyes flashed, and his lips opened up. There in the middle of the gigantic canvas of the firmament, he saw something that he never had the chance to see—the starry sky.
