Seeing the thorn wall, Gao Yang immediately heightened his vigilance. He slowed down and ran for a bit further, then changed direction and walked in circles to regulate his bodily functions. After a significantly long walk, he completely stopped to restore his strength.
After resting in a concealed spot for about an hour and feeling unimpeded in his movements, Gao Yang picked up his shotgun and began to slowly make his way towards the thorn wall.
After walking a bit, Gao Yang had to stop to observe. To facilitate the search for the Akuri tribe, he had brought along a portable mini telescope, which proved to be very useful at this time.
When Gao Yang circled around to face the thorn wall directly, he lay down and started observing through the telescope. After confirming there was no one around, he began to run towards the gap in the thorn wall he could see.
