The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 436 The Hole In The Wall

Sylvia's POV:

The five of us slipped out successfully and made it to the foot of the huge wall.

The buildings near the wall looked quite different from the prosperous city center. Simply put, they were all a little shabby. Even the streetlights flickered and were dim, and broken electric poles were lying on the side of the road, looking desolate.

I looked around curiously as we waited in the dark for the patrolling soldiers to leave.

"The only exit is sealed. We have to find another way," Warren whispered in a low voice.

"How about scaling the wall? I've noticed that those soldiers patrol on a regular route. They pass by about every fifteen minutes. We can try to climb over the wall during the fifteen minute window," I suggested. Climbing over the wall was easier said than done. I had underestimated its height when I suggested this.

The wall was easily as high as an eight-storey building. Moreover, the wall was so smooth that it looked impossible to climb it with bare hands.

Warren gave it a try and sprinted towards the wall, hoping the momentum would carry him over it. However, it seemed that whoever had designed the wall had foreseen that someone would attempt to climb it. So they built it to be very smooth and even had a layer of wax over it. It didn't take long before Warren failed and slid down the wall, landing with a thump.

In the end, we had to give up on the idea of scaling it.

"What should we do now? We can't just give up..." Harry wrung his hands anxiously. "What if we made a werewolf ladder?"

"It's useless. The wall is so high that we wouldn't reach the top at all. And it'd be too conspicuous. The patrols would catch us easily," John said very calmly. He pursed his lips and racked his brains for a solution. "But you're right. We can't just give up."

"Yeah..." I looked up at the sky and felt complex emotions. "Now only the world outside the wall could be the breakthrough. We have to find a way out even if it means biting the bullet."

"In fact, we're not prisoners. What if we go through the door in the daytime?" Harry suggested.

"No way. Geoffrey looks like a cautious man. He'd never allow us to act alone. He'd probably ask the local unit to follow us. Basically, it's useless for us to go out during the daytime with his men. We might not find anything." Warren shook his head without hesitation.

After hearing Warren's analysis, I felt even more depressed. He had spoken what was on my mind.

We would be restricted if we went out during the daytime. Geoffrey would definitely find out what we were up to, and maybe it'd even draw his attention.

We walked along the edge of the wall dejectedly. Just as we were about to give up, John suddenly stopped us.

"Check this out. This part of the wall looks damaged."

Warren squatted down beside John and looked at where John was pointing at.

"The bricks seem to be a little loose." Warren tried pushing the loose bricks on the wall, which shook slightly.

"Woah! Mow'd you spot it?!" With a surprised look on her face, Flora got close to John and tried pushing the loose part of the wall as well. "You're awesome!"

John shrugged casually. "The wind here sounds different from the other spots."

I couldn't help but applaud him in my heart. I gave John a thumbs up and said approvingly, "Amazing! I wouldn'thave sensed any difference!" "Really? I don't believe it. Let me have a look." Like a detective specialized in exposing lies, Harry squeezed past Flora and Warren with his strong and tall body. Without any hesitation, he raised his fist and swung it at the wall.

Fortunately, John stopped him in time.

I couldn't bear to see Harry's silly behavior. I pressed my palm on my forehead and sighed heavily.

"What the hell are you doing? Get your hands off of me!" Harry swatted John's hand away and blushed...

But then John's hand flew up to clamp Harry's mouth shut. "Shh, be quiet. I think I hear something from the other side of the wall."

Hearing this, we all squatted and pricked our ears.

After a while, sure enough, a rustling sound came from the other side of the wall.

We held our breath and waited quietly.

Soon, the loose bricks were pulled out from the other side. In their place was a head that looked back at us in surprise. It was the bullied boy we had bumped into in the afternoon.

The boy was obviously stunned to see us. The six of us looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere grew a little awkward.

Soon he came to his senses and hurried to retreat.

Fortunately, I moved fast and quickly caught him by his hair. "Stop him!"
