A whole new world!
These were the first four words that flashed through his mind as he witnessed the unfolding of the scenery. The tunnel ended, revealing a vast open space and environment with life, light, and activity. The chatter of adults, laughter of children, and vibrant steps resounded out without end. A grand city revealed itself before him.
As the lizard traversed further in, Wei Wuyin could see young children playing with a ball roughly the size of a watermelon. It was bouncy yet hard, and they were using their knees and elbows to move it with some skill. They seemed to be fond of playing near the entrances or exits of the city.
When these young children dressed in darkly colored rags saw the lizards, they whooped and hollered as they moved out of the way, discussing rather animatedly amongst themselves. They would even point at him and snicker, some would reveal desire on their young faces as if they wanted to be one of the two men that were currently escorting him.
