Zion's latest advanced carriage suddenly stopped before reaching its destination and would no longer move.
William and Desline discovered simultaneously that the horse pulling the carriage, who was also a transformed death-row inmate, had died.
The two of them got out of the carriage to check at the same time.
The Grey Zone level here had reached the forth level, "Forbidden," as established by Zion; an ordinary gentleman would undoubtedly die under such conditions.
The once concrete road had completely become pathological,
a structure resembling fish bones ran through the center of the road as its 'spine,' while the surface was covered with shiny fish scales,
making the entire road look like a ribbonfish indefinitely extending through the grey mist.
But the horse's death had no direct connection with the road; it had drowned. Water was continuously seeping from the sockets of the horse's eyes, its nostrils, and its mouth.
