In the abandoned supermarket, Jack slowly explores. Every step is taken with great care. He occasionally stops, using the faint light of a lighter to illuminate the path ahead. The shelves of the supermarket are covered in dust, and goods are scattered on the ground, showing signs of past urgency and chaos. Everything here seems frozen in the moment of disaster.
He moves slowly through the narrow aisles, occasionally stepping on broken glass, creating a faint sound. His heartbeat quickens with each step, and every sound makes him feel tense. He knows that this shattered world is full of unknown dangers.
Jack's fingers continued to search the dusty shelves, hoping to find more useful items. His fingertips touched some cold cans, a few bags of dry rations, and even discovered a few unopened bottles of drinks. Whenever he found these items, a sense of comfort welled up in his heart, but at the same time, he also felt a tinge of sadness. These everyday items seemed particularly precious in this desolate world.
He continued on, passing through row after row of shelves, each step accompanied by the crackling of a lighter. In a corner, he finally found a small flashlight. He quickly picked it up, excitedly pressed the switch, and a beam of light pierced the darkness, giving him greater hope.
Jack used the newly found flashlight to illuminate the entire supermarket, carefully searching every corner. He found several canned foods and some dry goods under a forgotten shelf. He collected these valuable supplies, preparing to store them in a safe place. He knew that these supplies would be crucial for his survival in this desolate world.
Jack continued to search the supermarket while trying to keep his thoughts clear. He found a shopping basket and began collecting various items. Whenever his hand touched those canned foods, biscuits, and other dry goods, he hesitated, struggling with the thought of whether these foods were contaminated by nuclear radiation.
He found some fire starters and matches, which were extremely important to him. He carefully placed them in the shopping basket, as they might be his only source of light and heat in this desolate world. He also picked up a few batteries, unsure if they were still usable, but it was a risk worth taking.
As time passed, Jack's fatigue became more and more apparent. His movements became slow and heavy, and each time he bent down to pick up an item, it felt incredibly difficult. He knew he needed rest, but he also knew that in this environment, he couldn't afford to let his guard down for a moment.
His shopping basket gradually filled up, and Jack stopped in his tracks, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. He knew that he needed to find a safe place to rest and gather his thoughts and plans. In this unpredictable world, every step needed to be taken with caution, and every decision could be a matter of life and death.
Jack tightened his grip on the shopping basket and walked deeper into the supermarket, searching for a temporary shelter. He felt both unsettled and determined, resolved to find a way to survive in this apocalyptic world.
In the dimly lit supermarket, Jack cautiously moved forward. His flashlight swept weak beams of light around, illuminating his path. The beam of the flashlight sometimes lingered in a corner, sometimes passed over the remaining products on the shelves. The shopping basket dragged on the ground, making a rustling sound, interweaving with the sound of the broken windows being blown by the wind, creating a tense and uneasy atmosphere.
Jack's heart raced, his eyes fixed on where the flashlight shone. He kept reminding himself to stay alert, fearing that some unknown creature might suddenly appear, bringing unexpected danger.
He gradually made his way to the depths of the supermarket, where the lighting was dimmer, requiring extra caution with each step. Finally, he arrived at a secluded area, where the entrance was marked by a faded sign with pale writing that read, "No entry without permission." Jack hesitated for a moment, but he knew this might be a safe hiding place.
He took a deep breath and used the flashlight to explore ahead. Gently pushing the door open, he found it to be a storage room filled with various sundries and supplies. Jack walked in, found a corner to sit in, and set down the heavy shopping basket.
He leaned wearily against the wall, with a flashlight placed nearby, casting a slanted beam of light on the wall. His thoughts drifted away, thinking about past days and the potential difficulties he might encounter in the future. This small space, at least for the time being, could provide him with a sense of security and an opportunity to rest.
In the dim storage room, Jack moved slowly and methodically as he prepared a source of fire. He took a box of matches from the shopping basket, then rummaged through the cabinet, finally finding a stack of old newspapers. His movements seemed slightly clumsy, but his purpose was clear—he needed light and warmth.
Jack carefully crumpled the newspaper into a ball, then meticulously stacked it in a triangular shape to ensure the flame could spread effectively. He placed some shredded paper and flammable materials at the bottom, then picked up a match and ignited the kindling.
The newspaper quickly caught fire, emitting a faint yet steady glow. The flame flickered in the darkness, bringing a hint of warmth and a little light. Jack watched the dancing flame, feeling a sense of comfort and tranquility.
He knew there must be candles in the supermarket, but considering his physical strength and condition, he decided to temporarily give up further searching. After all, in this situation, even the simplest flame would be enough to provide the needed light and warmth.
Jack leaned against the wall, gazing at the flame. Although he felt exhausted and helpless, at least now he had a temporary shelter. His thoughts drifted in the reflection of the fire until exhaustion finally took over his consciousness, and he gradually fell into a light sleep.
