While talking to himself, he changed direction without hesitation and walked towards the residential area not far away.

Thinking about what was about to happen, he twitched his nostrils and took deep breaths, trying to suppress the agitation in his heart.

But it was to no avail.

Now, even the air seems to be filled with restlessness, constantly stimulating people's fragile nerves!

Along the way, you could hear people talking with great anticipation everywhere.

The port is opening!

They can leave the gated city!

Hope shook his head, then took a step forward and, fueled by his pounding heart and burning passion, began to run.

"Bang bang bang!"

The dull knocking continued.

A few minutes later, the door opened, and Hansent, who had just gotten dressed, appeared before Hope looking dejected.

"Let's go, let's go!" Hope exhaled a breath of hot air and pulled Hansent outside.

"The port is about to open."

"We should get out here!"

...

An hour later.

Under the intense gaze of the crowd, the city port gates slowly opened.

Hope instinctively held her breath.

The next moment, he tentatively took a breath.

The breath of freedom, accompanied by a slight dampness, rushed straight into his mouth and nose.

"I can breathe... I can breathe!!" His eyes were slightly red, and his trembling lips kept repeating this sentence.

Like Hope, the citizens of the People's Union who received the first batch of slots to leave the city all had the same expression.

Anxiety, surprise, disbelief...

Complex emotions kept assaulting everyone's nerves!

At this moment, both the public and private sectors were filled with a strong impulse!

Go out!

Go out and see the world!

Led by the robot, everyone lined up in an orderly fashion and walked towards the port gate.

Blue sky.

White clouds.

Clear seawater, a damp sea breeze, and the soft sound of waves.

And the land at the edge of the horizon.
