The Shouzhe Pass, built entirely of cement, was tall and majestic, resembling a meandering dragon lying between Xin An Town and the outer territories. From a distance, it looked immensely robust and magnificent.
This ten-mile-long pass was both the gateway for humans entering the outer territories and the frontline defense against the fierce beasts from beyond.

With it in place, the common folk felt safe.
Shouzhe Pass was much wider than ordinary city gates, with soldiers stationed and patrolling atop the walls all year round. These soldiers included the town guard of Xin An, the Wang family's head of household, and also some hired from among the common folk who were specifically responsible for cleaning, organizing, cooking, and maintenance tasks.
