Jack stood on the dusty main road leading to Rado City, his gaze fixed on the welcoming sign that should have greeted travelers. In glaring red spray paint, the sign was scrawled with a provocative message: "Your dog is here, come and get it if you dare!" In the bottom left corner, a rough hexagram was drawn, a symbol that had become the mark of The Curse of the Wild in this post-apocalyptic world, representing violence, madness, and lawlessness.
Jack furrowed his brow, a glint of cold determination flashing in his eyes. He knew this was not just a simple provocation, but a trap. The Curse of the Wild was using the thing he cared about most to lure him, attempting to drag him into a potentially deadly and hopeless battle. But for Jack, Ah Mao and those dogs were not just pets; they were his only family in this desolate world, the light of hope he was unwilling to give up.
Jack took a deep breath and pushed his bicycle slowly onto the road leading to Rado City. His heart was filled with determination, even though the path ahead was full of thorns, he must move forward bravely. In this desolate world, if one gives up even the most basic faith and love, what else is left?
Jack's steps were firm, each one expressing his hope for the future and his struggle with reality. He knew it would be a difficult battle, but he also knew that as long as there is light in his heart, the darkness will eventually dissipate.
Jack followed the random splashes of red marks along the road deep into the heart of Rado City. As he ventured further into this desolate city, the surrounding atmosphere became increasingly eerie and oppressive. The faint moonlight pierced through the thin clouds, casting mottled shadows on the cracked asphalt, adding a touch of eerie beauty to this dilapidated city. Jack pushed his bicycle, each step landing on the uneven road, the tires struggling through gravel and cracks, emitting a faint frictional sound.
In the distance, the eerie cries of strange creatures occasionally echoed through the empty city, sending shivers down his spine. Jack tried to keep himself calm, but an inevitable sense of unease crept into his heart. He knew that in this abandoned city, unknown dangers could lurk anywhere.
However, even so, Jack's determination did not waver. He knew deeply that the difficulties and dangers along the way were all for the sake of rescuing those innocent dogs, and for not letting his beliefs be extinguished in the desolation of the apocalypse. Jack tightly gripped the handlebars of his bicycle, gazing ahead with determination. Even though the road ahead was unknown, and the night was filled with fear, he had to bravely face it, because the hopeful eyes that awaited his rescue were his only motivation.
As Jack gradually approached the central area of Rado City, he suddenly heard the barking of dogs, among which the unique and familiar barking undoubtedly belonged to Ah Mao. That sound was like a distant light guiding Jack in the darkness, stirring up excitement and urgency in his heart. He instinctively wanted to quicken his pace, pushing his bicycle towards the direction of the barking, hoping to immediately see Ah Mao and the other dogs, and rescue them from this desolate hell.
However, at that moment, Jack suddenly realized his recklessness. The provocations left by The Curse of the Wild, those deliberately left traces, might be a carefully set trap, waiting for him to step into. This realization was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the urgent flames in his heart, forcing him to stop, his heavy breathing sounding particularly loud in the silent night sky.
Jack took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, thinking of a more cautious and strategic course of action. He knew that any rash behavior could put himself and those innocent lives in even greater danger. Therefore, Jack decided to first hide his whereabouts, observe the surrounding environment, find a safer way to approach the city center, and try to find the best opportunity to save Ah Mao and other dogs.
Jack leaned his bicycle against the long-abandoned butcher shop and squatted in front of its door, letting the night breeze blow over his weary body. The shop's windows were filled with dust and cobwebs, the counter empty and devoid of the bustling energy it once had. In this desolate street, there was no sign of life except for the howling of the wind.
Jack's thoughts drifted back to his encounter with the members of The Curse of the Wild at Sky Building. He had faced four distinct members, each with their own abilities. First was the woman who used deadly poison gas, her ability not only lethal but also wide-ranging, making Jack acutely aware of the need for caution. Then there was the young man who could attack with Mud, his unconventional method posing a significant threat. The death of Thorn Man at the hands of Wild Spider Beast once again confirmed the cruelty and ruthlessness of this wilderness. Lastly, there was the teenager who used vines, agile in his movements but evidently prone to panic under pressure, perhaps the most exploitable weakness among them.
Jack silently analyzed the abilities and characteristics of these opponents. He knew that facing such enemies required more wisdom and strategy. This was not just a test of strength, but also a test of intelligence and patience. Jack knew that he had to carefully devise a plan in order to protect himself in this dangerous game, rescue Ah Mao and the other dogs, and at the same time, not fall into deeper danger.
Jack's gaze fixed on those rusty kitchen knives. Although they had lost their former luster, in Jack's eyes, these inconspicuous tools were the key to implementing his plan. He gently stood up, walked into the butcher shop, carefully avoiding the debris and broken glass on the floor, picked up a seemingly usable kitchen knife, and gently held it in his hand to test its weight and grip.
In this abandoned city, any resource could become crucial for survival. Jack's plan is to use these kitchen knives as self-defense weapons, and even as tools to lure or deter enemies when necessary. He knows that facing enemies like The Curse of the Wild, brute force alone is not enough; he needs more wisdom and strategy to deal with potential dangers.
Jack carefully wraps the few kitchen knives he found in a piece of cloth, tying them to the side frame of his bicycle to ensure they won't fall or make noise while moving. He looks around again, making sure he hasn't missed any useful items, then mutters to himself as if to boost his morale, "No pain, no gain, right?"
This sentence is not only an encouragement to oneself, but also a psychological preparation for the upcoming unknown challenges. Jack took a deep breath, pushed his bicycle, and embarked on the journey to find Ah Mao and face the challenge of The Curse of the Wild. Although his heart was filled with uncertainty, he also had an unprecedented determination and courage.
