The four of them continued running towards the east.
Eventually, they reached a distance of 40 kilometers away from the city.
This was now the true unknown.

In front of Nick were grey cliffs, which looked quite different from the beige and brown cliffs everywhere.

Carl slowly and carefully approached one of the big cliffs and motioned Nick to come closer.
Mark and Irwin ran towards the side, hiding while surveilling the area.
"Stay close," Carl whispered to Nick, "and don't make any noise. Additionally, do not use your Zephyx in any way. Even if you want to use it to remain quiet."
Nick frowned.
