Erik went through the breach and walked into the forest. He was now accustomed to this view. However, he couldn't stop marveling at it.
The place was the complete opposite of the city, starting from the colors, which were predominantly green instead of the dull gray or black that characterized New Alexandria.
Then there was the atmosphere that seemed more pleasant than that in the urban area. It was something that Erik attributed mainly to its lack of artificial lighting, but it was also the silence surrounding it.
Unlike the city, the air was clean and fresh, with none of the soot and smoke smells that usually filled urban areas, and particularly New Alexandria.
Erik reached the edge of the wood. Before him stretched countless trees, their leaves displaying a spectrum of colors from white through yellow to red.
Here and there, some parts of the ground showed patches where the foliage had been stripped bare by the occasional vegetarian thaid.
