Jack's gaze once again fell on the screen of his phone. At that moment, a message from an assistant in the environmental science department popped up, immediately catching his attention. The message read: "Jack! The environmental science department is holding an event today, so you don't need to come to the office for work-study. You can go home early today!" After reading this message, a faint smile appeared on Jack's face. He quickly typed a reply on his phone, adding a smiling emoji to indicate that he had received the message and understood the last-minute arrangement.
Although he felt a slight sense of regret deep down - after all, it meant missing out on an opportunity to earn some work-study money - on the other hand, being able to go home early and rest was also a joy for him. He gently placed his phone back in his pocket, his steps becoming light and cheerful, and his mood lightening as well.
Jack started to make his way to his rental place, thinking about how to make use of this sudden free time. He thought about the movie he had always wanted to watch but never had the time for, imagining himself lying on the couch, enjoying the pleasure the movie would bring. Alternatively, he could open the novel that had been sitting on his desk for weeks, immersing himself in the world of the story, temporarily forgetting the worries of reality.
Jack also thought about the nearby park, where the grass and trees looked particularly charming in the afternoon sunlight. He could take a walk there, breathe in the fresh air, and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. He could even sit on a bench in the park, quietly reading a book or simply relaxing, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
Jack's mood became more relaxed, and his steps became more rhythmic. He felt the environment around him, listening to the passing bird songs and the distant sound of cars, filled with anticipation. Today was no longer a busy day of work and study for him, but a leisure time that belonged entirely to himself. He looked forward to what he could do tonight, perhaps there would be some unexpected surprises waiting for him. With these pleasant thoughts, Jack set out on the way home, filled with anticipation for this beautiful afternoon.
Jack stepped out of the campus gate and entered the familiar and bustling streets outside the school. At this time, the streets were bustling with people in a hurry, some just finishing a day's work, some just leaving the classroom, each preparing to welcome their own evening. The trees on the side of the street cast long shadows in the sunset, and the sky was dyed a warm egg yolk color, making the whole city particularly charming in this golden light.
Walking on such a street, Jack felt a kind of inexplicable joy. He thought to himself, since he unexpectedly had some free time today, why not go to a nearby restaurant to enjoy a delicious dinner. Looking around, this area has many restaurants, each with its own unique flavor. From authentic Chinese restaurants to various styles of international cuisine, the choices are abundant and overwhelming.
In the end, Jack decided to go to a small restaurant he used to frequent. The atmosphere of that restaurant is warm, the decor simple and elegant, and most importantly, the dishes there suit his taste. He still remembers some of the signature dishes there - delicious seafood, rich soups, and desserts that are truly unforgettable.
At the moment when Jack had just decided which restaurant to go to, his phone suddenly started vibrating like crazy, breaking the peaceful moment. This sudden vibration made Jack feel a hint of anxiety and worry. He quickly picked up the phone and checked the screen.
The people around him reacted differently, which made Jack even more at a loss. Some people showed obvious panic on their faces, quickly making phone calls to their loved ones to inquire about the situation. Others seemed indifferent, continuing with their daily routines, seemingly thinking it was just a false alarm. Jack thought about how unusual it was to receive such an emergency evacuation notice during peacetime, which made him worry about what might be about to happen.
In this contradictory and chaotic moment, Jack's mood becomes increasingly complex. The emergency evacuation notification on his phone screen seems to constantly remind him that this may not just be a routine drill or a false alarm. Such a sudden and serious notification is something that would never happen under normal circumstances. He feels an unprecedented sense of unease and fear, and can't help but wonder if it's related to the international situation he saw on the news earlier.
Jack's heart races, and he tries to calm himself down, but the inner unease and fear still haunt him. He recalls the wilderness survival knowledge he learned in class, as well as the professor's encouragement and affirmation. He can't help but think that if there really is an emergency, that knowledge could become very valuable.
In such a tense atmosphere, Jack decided to abandon his original dinner plans and instead seek out the nearest shelter. He realized that ensuring his own safety was the top priority no matter the circumstances. He began searching for signs pointing to the shelter, while mentally calculating how he should respond if an emergency truly occurred.
Jack was filled with various questions and assumptions. Did this mean that some unknown danger was rapidly approaching? Should he contact his family and friends to inform them of the situation? This series of questions made his pace quicken. He walked while observing the surrounding environment, trying to find more clues from others' reactions.
Despite being filled with doubts and worries, Jack still strives to remain calm and prepared to handle any possible situation. The course on maintaining composure and rationality in emergency situations seems particularly important at this moment. As his pace quickens, Jack's resolve also grows stronger, ready to face potential challenges.
