Mud and Chuchan moved cautiously in the darkness, stepping carefully on the broken rubble and unstable rooftops as if the next step could lead them into the dark abyss. The ruins of the city provided cover for their movements, but also posed dangers. As the leader, Mud was especially cautious, as if he could sense the danger behind every loose tile.
Finally, Mud found an excellent hiding spot - a chimney that had fallen from the third floor and was now wedged on the roof next to them. The chimney was well-hidden, surrounded by scattered bricks and broken steel bars, providing an inconspicuous observation point. Mud quickly signaled to Chuchan, and the two of them carefully hid in the shadow of the chimney.
Hidden behind the chimney, Mud and Chuchan could clearly observe the situation in the central square without being easily noticed themselves. The night in this city was unusually quiet, with only occasional strange sounds in the distance, reminding them that the former prosperity had become a thing of the past, leaving only ruins and desolation.
Although Mud felt nervous, a hint of determination could be seen in his eyes. He knew that hiding behind this chimney not only gave them the opportunity to observe the movements of the enemy, but also allowed them to react quickly when necessary to protect themselves and their teammates. In this City of the End Times, finding such a hidden place undoubtedly was one of the keys to their survival.
Mud looked down, his sharp gaze piercing through the night, spotting Vivian standing next to the broken fountain statue in the central square. Her figure appeared particularly resolute in the dim moonlight. At that moment, a solitary figure slowly approached the square, none other than their target, Jack. He cautiously edged closer, seemingly aware of the potential danger in the area.
Chuchan also observed the situation below carefully, his eyes filled with curiosity and tension. He was unsure of what action Vivian would take against Jack, whether she would directly attack or had another plan in mind. Suddenly, Mud forcefully tapped the back of his head, snapping Chuchan back to reality.
"Do not just watch, be ready to provide cover at any time!" Mud said sternly in a low voice, his eyes revealing a seriousness that could not be ignored. At this moment, Mud was filled with vigilance, knowing that once the situation developed to the point where they needed to intervene, they must react immediately to support Vivian and ensure the smooth progress of the entire plan.
Chuchan nodded, feeling the tension in his heart, realizing the seriousness of the situation. The two of them were concealed on the rooftop, constantly prepared, their gaze locked tightly on Vivian below and the slowly approaching Jack. Every movement in the night could potentially trigger the coming storm.
In the night in Rado City, Jack finally stopped a certain distance in front of Vivian. Facing him alone, Vivian showed a mocking smile, with a hint of evaluation and provocation in her eyes. Around them, the conflicting emotions in the barks of the Steel Bone Wild Dogs and Ah Mao contained both joy at Jack's arrival and mixed worry and warning, as if they were telling Jack in their own way that this place was full of danger, and it would be best to stay away.
Jack stood quietly, his gaze piercing through the night directly at Vivian, and the air between them seemed to freeze. He could sense the anxiety of Ah Mao and the other dogs, but he knew he had no way out. At this moment, he had to face everything in front of him. Vivian's figure appeared particularly clear in the dim moonlight, and the ruins and damaged fountain statue behind her added a touch of desolation and apocalyptic atmosphere to the scene.
Jack took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. He knew that the upcoming conversation and potential conflict would determine the fate of him, Ah Mao, and the other dogs. His gaze was firm, ready to face any action from Vivian. At this moment, under the Rado City night sky, the confrontation between Jack and Vivian became another drama in this deserted city.
Vivian was the first to break the standoff, saying, "Hello, stranger, nice to see you again. Did you forget something?" Vivian's opening remarks seemed frivolous and provocative in the night, her voice echoing in the quiet square, seemingly testing Jack's limits. She deliberately elongated her tone, every word seemed carefully designed to provoke Jack's anger. But in the face of Vivian's provocation, Jack showed extraordinary calm and resilience.
His response was calm yet powerful, his voice cutting through Vivian's sarcasm in the night breeze and reaching her heart. Jack's gaze was firm, revealing an unusual depth and composure, as if in this post-apocalyptic world, he still held onto a glimmer of hope and humanity.
"As fellow survivors in this world, is there really a need for us to kill each other?" Jack's words were simple yet profound, not only a rebuttal to Vivian but also a reflection on the cruel reality of this new world. There was no intense emotional fluctuation in his speech, but each word felt like a sledgehammer striking at the hearts of everyone present.
Vivian faced Jack's calm response, and there was a brief silence. The air seemed to have frozen, with only the low growls of the dogs and the gentle night breeze adding a sense of tension to the confrontation.
