The four of them ran towards the north.
Everything around Nick was just a wasteland.
There were a couple of hills here and there, but that was it.
Brown and beige nothingness everywhere.
After running for around ten kilometers, they turned towards the right, running towards the east.
By now, no bit of human civilization could be seen.
There were no people or cities.
They were just in a dead world.
As they kept running towards the east, Nick sometimes glanced towards the north nervously.
While there was nothing close to the city in the north, that was bound to change as one went further and further away from the city.
And about 15 kilometers away from the city, that happened.
Even though Nick was about five kilometers away from the Forbidden Zone, he still looked towards its direction.
