Through the Array

The group ran towards the array, with Atlas giving them one last advice. "Remember, after we go through, run at the direct opposite of the gate. 

"Take care of yourselves. To each to his own. At this stage, to survive, we can't be bothered with other people—at least I won't."

Some people frowned but Atlas had always been frank. The last time, people took advantage of his sense of justice as a former police officer. It held him back, keeping him from venturing out to find his brother. 

There was also the fact that no one wanted to go out with him, making it a suicide mission to even go too far away from the walls. However, if there weren't people convincing him, begging him to stay, he really might've taken that risky mission on his own. 

Now… he really couldn't wait any longer, and he wasn't going to let anyone hold him back.
