Chapter 402: Chapter 402 – Jump

Nick took a deep breath.

He had never jumped over the gap before.

Naturally, jumping over the gap meant jumping over the 1 to 1.5 kilometers between the city's edge and the outside world.

A very athletic Initial Veteran could accomplish that, but it was extremely risky.

Extractors were allowed to leave the city in this way, but they had to get permission from a city captain before doing so.

However, while jumping out of the city was okay, jumping into the city was forbidden.

The main reason was that, with closed eyes, the Extractor wouldn't be able to properly control their fall, which would result in people dying and houses getting destroyed.

The northern part of the city was nearly as close to the outside world as the southern part, which was the closest.

Ignoring the bridge, the southern part of the city was only about a kilometer away from the outside world.
