The Scouts successfully traversed the entire desert at Roger's lead. Roger does things with more urgency and tight monitoring after the incident.

Caleb and others who received secret assignments started to do tasks one after another. However, the traitor never made a move or did anything again. It made the teams Caleb was leading to become efficient. However, they find it unfortunate that the culprit wasn't taking the bait.

Just like that, morning passed and afternoon came. They're now nearing the 2nd wall... The main objectives of their operation! The arrangement is Caleb and the three teams he leads will be the ones responsible for sealing the breach of the wall while the other teams will be the ones responsible for holding back the Apokalips that would try to interrupt the process of sealing.

Actually, that's just the plan on the surface. The real objective was to tempt the traitor to come out this time. After all, preventing the sealing of the wall should be the main objective of the culprit. Would the traitor hold himself back? This is perfect! It's crucial for them to do this.

Caleb looked at his team and the other two teams under his command. Who would have known he would have such authority in such a short amount of time? He wasn't even 8th seat yet. He just hopes that the traitor isn't on the team he leads or he would personally deal with the bastard.

"Johan, what are you thinking about? I can see that you're in a deep thought. Anything you want to share with us?" Shu suddenly appeared, startling Caleb. "We are your teammates, after all."

Hearing this, Caleb just smiled and said.

"Well, I'm just worried about my friend on the team one."

Shu raised his eyebrows. "Well, why are you worried? They're pretty much safe, right? They managed to escape unscathed from the last incident. I just say I'm impressed. They also have skills."

"Of course, they're survivors outside the wall, like me. We've gone through a lot more than you could imagine." Caleb chuckled as he recalled his journey from the wooden house he reincarnated to the City of Phenos. It was a perilous adventure.

Yes, they were indeed talking about Andre, Luna, and Clifford. Luckily, the three only suffered light injuries that he managed to treat easily from the last incident. Luna, Andre, and Clifford were far more mature and had good psychological qualities due to their upbringing and facing Apokalips earlier than others. Plus, the hunting party had taught the four how to hunt and wield weapons. Not to mention Clifford, who had a good saber skills.

"Well, we are here, guys," Kazuto said staring at the high wall with awe. "What do we do now? Do we seal the wall or report back to Captain Roger first?"

"Let's report it first, I think." One of the members of team three suggested. He was a freckled guy who looked unassuming but had an air of confidence in him.

Then a guy with a snobbish face also proposed. "How about sending one of us? It would be too stupid for us all to return there just to report, right?"

"Well, the final decision still falls to the team leader, Johan."

Damn it! Just call me by my name!

Johan, no, Caleb grumbled inwardly. "Well, let's send one."

"Who should we send?" Kidd asked an important question for once.

Shu suddenly raised his hand at this moment and smiled, embarrassed. "How about me? I'll also take a piss on the way. My tank is full. I think Mother Planet is calling for me."

Zulang: "..."

Kid: "..."

Caleb: "..."

...

After Shu left, Caleb and the others strolled around the wall carefully. There were no Apokalips in the area they were in which they find fortunate.

Before them, there was an immense wall, a towering colossus that stretched to an astonishing height of 20 meters. It stands as a formidable sentinel, constructed from bricks of a deep, rich blue hue. These bricks, aged by the relentless march of time, bear the scars of their endurance, with cracks and weathered surfaces that made Caleb aware of how tough they were.

The enormity of the wall creates a stark contrast to the surroundings. Dilapidated buildings, remnants of a forgotten era, dot the landscape. These structures, which once seemed vibrant and bustling, now stand as fragile relics of history. Their timeworn walls are etched with memories and shattered windows offer glimpses of a past that has slowly crumbled away.

As Caleb and the others take in this scene, they see the subtle details that add to its authenticity. Moss and lichen have found their home on the aged bricks, painting nature's touch upon the man-made monolith. The echoes of a bygone era resonate in the creaking of the weathered wood and the faint rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Suddenly, Caleb's danger senses flare up. He felt an immense threat of death dawn upon him. It was like the sword of Damocles was about to fall on his head and cleave him in half.

What's the matter? Caleb's eyelids twitched continuously, and he felt really, really uncomfortable and cold as if he was thrown into an ice cellar.

As if noticing the anomaly, Zulang patted him on the back and asked in a confused tone. "What's the matter? Why are you shivering?"

Zulang's concern caught the attention of others. Kazuto and Kidd looked at Johan, who had a pale countenance and couldn't help but feel worried. "What's wrong, Johan?"

"We're absolutely fucked." Caleb took a deep breath. "We need to get out of this immediately. We've fallen into a trap! Shu is the damned traitor!!"

Just as he said this, hundreds of shadows of Apokalips emerged in every direction, which made everyone shiver.

"We're really fucked this time... Damned Shu!" Kidd gritted his teeth.
