"Hey!"
Everyone froze.
A figure stood along the upper walkway of the wall, looking down at them.
Another guard appeared beside him, leaning slightly over the edge.
"You're looking for the gate, right?"
Several survivors stared up at them.
"Yes!" someone shouted.
The first guard pointed toward the direction they had been heading.
"Follow the wall around. The entrance is that way."
Relief moved through the group almost instantly.
They had been searching for so long that finding someone who actually knew where the entrance was felt like another stroke of luck.
Kyle gave a short nod.
"Come on."
The survivors began following the wall.
Nina kept close to the others, her eyes still wandering over the black stone beside them.
Up close, the wall was even more intimidating.
