Jin Zheng once again broke free from the depths of his dream, his vest already soaked in cold sweat.
In the dream, the wind and sand of the apocalypse hurt people's faces. The moment before waking up from the dream, it was Tammy who rushed to block his figure. The muffled sound of the thin body being torn apart by the claws of the beast was so clear that it made people mad.
He sat up suddenly, gasping and pulling open the curtains.
Neon lights flow outside the window, there is no howl of mutant monsters, there is no sky covered by radiation dust, and the air is filled with the clean coolness of late night.
He did come back, and after a death he was thrown back into this orderly and safe world.
But some things can't come back, they are left in that wasteland forever, and they become his nightmare every night.
Especially the way Tammy looked at him at the end, there was no resentment or hatred, only tender attachment. Even if you are used and deceived, you will die for him.
Guilt wrapped around my heart like a vine, and every beat brought a sharp pain.
Drunk as hell, Jin Zheng woke up and saw a sky full of yellow sand and ruins.
He actually returned to the end of the world again, and it was the moment when he first traveled through time.
With his heart beating wildly, he relied on his memory and ran towards the abandoned gas station.
There was a little orc curled up in the corner, with dirty fur, ears trembling with vigilance, and a pair of wet eyes looking at him nervously.
Jin Zheng felt dizzy and resisted the urge to rush over and hug the little figure tightly. He only stretched out one hand and tried to speak the gentlest tone in his life: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."
The little orc watched him, sniffing the smell in the air carefully, and finally tentatively moved over a little bit, gently placing his hoof on Jin Zheng's palm.
Jin Zheng closed his fingers and held the little hoof, feeling a shiver deep in his soul.
I found you.
I will never let go this time, and I will never let you face abandonment and separation alone again.
You are my only anchor in a collapsing world.
