Everyone in the entire camp was shocked by He Ao’s decision.

Everyone here has been educated by the old man and, more or less, has heard him saying, "The city does not welcome us."

This concept had been ingrained in the Wanderers’ very bones.

Moreover, the cunning Wilderness Hunters and the lying merchants from the caravans gave them a rather negative overall impression of the city.

Many had never set foot in a city in their entire lives.

If it weren’t for dire circumstances, the thought of entering the city wouldn’t even cross their minds.

Generation after generation of Wanderers lived in the wilderness with no real ties to the cities.

He Ao’s choice was practically a rebellion against the decisions of his ancestors.

However, He Ao’s decision did not face much resistance, everyone was shocked, but that did not affect their ability to calmly accept his decision.

Killing the Bitter Monkey had boosted He Ao’s prestige within the camp to an unprecedented peak, and no one would question his decision.

And deep down, many Wanderers actually shared the same curiosity as a young Ronald had for the unknown city and the life within it.

So without any argument, the decision to enter the city was settled.

But entering the city couldn’t possibly mean over a hundred people could just directly go into Dawn City.

Once all the Wanderers from the camp entered the city, arrangements for food, drink, and shelter, as well as future livelihoods, had to be made before they could enter.

He Ao was not sure how Dawn City specifically treated Wilderness Wanderers, but Regit, Roy, and others rarely saw any Wanderers in Dawn City, and any that were known would quickly leave and not stay long in the city.

This meant there was surely some difficulty preventing Wanderers from living in Dawn City long-term,

and the old man’s words were not without reason.

But what exactly this difficulty was, one would only know after trying.

Therefore, He Ao decided to personally visit Dawn City as a Wilderness Wanderer and verify why the city was "unwelcoming" to Wanderers.

Of course, he wasn’t going alone. After choosing carefully, he decided to take Penny with him.

Penny’s Transcendent ability was "Talent Sequence 28: Athlete."

Athletes could choose a sports discipline and then selectively strengthen the muscular abilities associated with that sport.

And Penny’s choice was ’long-distance running.’

She was the fastest and most enduring runner in the entire camp.

She could barely keep up with He Ao’s slowed pace, and if anything happened, she could head straight back to inform the camp, without the need for He Ao to make the trip himself.

In the Copy World’s wilderness, there were no signal towers nor satellite signals, so communications in the wilderness couldn’t rely on convenient smart bands.

To pass messages in the wilderness, one would typically use Transcendent items capable of sending messages or trained messenger hawks.

Transcendent items for messaging were scarce, and the camp didn’t have any, while the three messenger hawks that the camp originally had were all killed by the Bitter Monkeys chasing them.

Therefore, they had to revert to the most primitive method of messaging—relying on human messengers.

Luckily, the temporary camp was not far from Dawn City; with Penny’s speed, she could make a round trip in half a day.

After selecting his companion, He Ao instructed Wade to look after the camp, and then set up layers upon layers of traps around the camp to ensure its security.

He also told Wade that if any major danger arose, they were not to hold out but to prioritize leading everyone toward Dawn City.

After ensuring everything was in order, He Ao packed his gear and disappeared into the vast forest with Penny.

——

As the camp behind them grew more and more distant and gradually vanished behind the trees,

Penny began to chatter away, asking He Ao all sorts of questions about the city.

For instance, how many people exactly live in the city? Do city dwellers hunt exotic beasts? Are Transcendents prevalent in the city? Does everyone have mechanical prosthetics?

For a moment, He Ao even thought her Talent wasn’t "Athlete" but "Sharer".

Nevertheless, even so, He Ao kept answering her sporadically,

Ronald was very fond of this orphan girl, perhaps seeing in her a reflection of his younger self, so even though Penny often asked many irrelevant questions, he would usually provide answers.

By the time they set out, the sun was already leaning towards the west, nearing evening; by the time they arrived at the outskirts of Dawn City, it was already deep into the night.

The wilderness at night is far more dangerous, so the two of them traveled at a slower pace.

However, Ronald remembered his vast experiences, and since He Ao had chosen the safest path, they didn’t encounter any particularly strong exotic beasts and arrived safely on the outskirts of Dawn City.

The passages into Dawn City are open day and night.

Countless busy off-road cargo trucks moved in and out through the wide city gates.

These logistics flowed like pulsing veins, supplying the massive metropolis with the necessary nutrients it required.

The entrance for pedestrians to enter the city was separate from that for goods trucks.

He Ao, leading Penny, bypassed the road used by the trucks and took another small path.

On this path, there were some small vehicles parked.

Very few people would traverse the wilderness on foot, so Dawn City had only the entrances for trucks and small vehicles.

Of course, pedestrians could also enter Dawn City through the small vehicle gate.

This was He Ao’s first time seeing the high walls that encircled the city from the outside.

Looking up from the bottom, the wall seemed endless, connecting the sky and the earth, becoming one with the night sky.

From afar, it appeared as if the stars were dangling from the top of the high wall.

"Can such a thing really be built by humans..."

Penny was in awe of the high wall, her mind utterly blown, "This is nothing short of a miracle."

"Yeah."

He Ao shifted his gaze from the wondrous high wall, raised his hand, and showed his smart bracelet to Penny.

Penny had a similar smart bracelet on her wrist.

By the time they reached this place, the bracelets could already connect to Dawn City’s network.

While Wilderness Wanderers could not access the internet, there was no shortage of smart devices. In the past, when Ronald’s father was alive, the camp even had a local area network built; camp wanderers and visiting merchants could use the LAN to play online multiplayer games.

However, with the death of Ronald’s father, the trading area diminished, and the camp faced financial shortages, leading to the gradual decline in the maintenance of these devices.

But for the young people in the camp, the smart bracelets were still something they knew how to enjoy.

"Leader, we can get internet access here?!!"

Penny looked at He Ao with a hint of excitement, her exclamation even drawing some glances from people around them.

Since receiving her smart bracelet, Penny’s had never been connected to the internet. She had even grown accustomed to seeing a ’red cross’ as the signal indicator on her bracelet, but when the red cross disappeared at that moment, replaced by signal bars, she was incredulously surprised and delighted.

"Fill out this form."

He Ao gestured for Penny to raise her bracelet.

Penny, puzzled, lifted her bracelet, and the moment the bracelet was raised, a pure white pop-up notification appeared,

[Good evening, welcome to Dawn City, for your safety and the safety of others, entering Dawn City from outside the city requires filling out the "Dawn City Entry Application Form"]
