Jack sat bored in a corner of the supermarket warehouse, playing with an old radio in his hand. For three months, no matter how he adjusted the channels, his ears were always filled with noise - those harsh voices seemed to be mocking his loneliness and helplessness. Outside, the rain was continuous, bringing a chill through the broken windows. Jack looked out at the hazy window, only to see a group of nuclear-powered scavenger birds seemingly enjoying the rain. They hopped and flew among the ruins, excited about the rainwater containing trace amounts of nuclear radiation, as if they had found rare delicacies.
At that moment, Jack felt an unprecedented sense of isolation. For the creatures living in this post-apocalyptic world, this radiation-contaminated rain was like the dew that gave them life. For Jack, however, it was a ruthless reminder that this world had changed completely. He realized that even these small scavenger birds had found a way to survive in this new world, while he, a lonely human survivor, was still struggling to find his place.
Jack put down the radio and sighed deeply. This rain, these noises, and the scavenger birds playing in the rain outside the window all reminded him that survival is not just about material satisfaction, but also a struggle of the soul.
In another corner of the warehouse, Ah Mao and the other Steel Bone Wild Dogs curled up together, sound asleep. This group of wild dogs, usually fierce and active in the wasteland, seemed unusually quiet and peaceful at this moment. Especially Ah Mao, the Dobermann who usually led the other members of the pack, looked particularly cute and well-behaved in his sleep.
Ah Mao curls up its body, and its thick steel bones and muscles appear soft in sleep. Its limbs twitch slightly from time to time, as if it has returned to carefree days of running freely on the vast grassland in its dreams. Perhaps in its dreams, there is no desolation and danger after the nuclear disaster, only sunshine, grass, and fresh air.
For Jack, who has always been fighting for survival, this scene is undoubtedly a comfort. Watching the peace of Ah Mao and the pack of dogs, a warmth rises in Jack's heart. These loyal companions not only provide him with protection and companionship in the desolate world, but even their carefree sleep becomes a comfort to Jack's soul, reminding him that in this desperate apocalypse, there is still beauty and hope worth guarding and cherishing.
Under the influence of the group of dogs sleeping soundly, Jack also felt a hint of fatigue. He let out a big yawn, his eyelids began to feel heavy, unable to resist the impending drowsiness. Everything in the warehouse seemed to be urging him to relax, the continuous and gentle sound of rain outside, like natural white noise, creating a perfect environment for him to fall asleep.
Jack slowly lay down, rolled an old coat into a makeshift pillow, and curled up in a soft blanket. The rain outside tapped on the roof of the warehouse, making a rhythmic sound, calming his heart gradually. Each drop of rain falling felt like a gentle tap on his shoulder, telling him that it was safe to rest.
In this apocalyptic world, having a moment of peace and security is precious to Jack. He took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of his loyal companion beside him, and his heart was filled with gratitude. As his breathing gradually became steady, Jack was about to slowly drift into dreamland.
Just as Jack was leaning forward, hoping to find a comfortable position to rest on the table, his hand accidentally touched the radio on the table. This old radio, accompanied by a slight hum, suddenly emitted a clear sound, breaking the silence in the room. Jack instantly woke up, nervously and quickly adjusting his posture, focusing on the distant call.
"Hello, survivors across the country! We are Cavalry, a group of volunteers. We have found a beautiful new land, which we have named Paradise Town. We warmly invite anyone surviving on the surface to join us!" The voice coming from the radio was full of hope and enthusiasm, which to Jack sounded like a long-lost spring breeze, dispelling the accumulated despair and coldness in his heart.
"Our coordinates are, 64.3 degrees north latitude, 93.7 degrees east longitude, repeating once more..." Jack hurriedly searched for pen and paper, wanting to jot down this lifeline. This sudden message, for him, was not only a potential shelter but also a glimmer of rebuilding life and hope.
In a world on the brink of doomsday, every day is filled with uncertainty and danger. Jack never imagined that, at such a moment, he would hear such an exhilarating piece of news through a chance encounter. "Paradise Town" - this name stirred up waves in his heart, filling him with new hope and curiosity for the future. Perhaps this was what he had been searching for all along - a place he could truly call home.
Jack's excitement jolted him awake from his drowsy state, and he quickly sat up. The sudden news surged through his body like an electric current, accelerating his heartbeat and filling him with tension and anticipation. The dogs, who had been quietly sleeping, were also startled awake by Jack's movements and the sound coming from the radio. They opened their bewilde Red-eye s, gazing at Jack in confusion, then listened attentively to their surroundings.
The radio kept repeating that recording, sometimes clear, sometimes covered by static, but Jack's attention was completely focused on the valuable coordinates. He hurriedly searched for a pen and paper on the table and in the corner of the warehouse, his flustered appearance a stark contrast to his usual composure. Finally, he found a pen and a piece of old paper among the clutter and quickly jotted down the coordinates that could change his destiny.
At this moment, Jack was filled with hope and questions. What kind of place is Paradise Town? How do the people there find hope and a way to survive in this desolate world? These questions, like an invisible force, drove him to seek answers. This time, he was no longer a lonely traveler; he had this loyal group of companions to face the unknown journey together. Jack took a deep breath, silently determined in his heart that no matter what kind of place Paradise Town was, he had to witness it personally, to search for that new land of hope.
