Unexpected

In a forest, an elderly man moved through the dense trees. 

While nature typically revealed its primaeval beauty in such places, the arrival of the apocalypse seemed to usher in a return of everything to nature's embrace. 

Even locations once embraced by nature before the apocalypse had transformed into a more primitive, enhanced version. The trees were thicker and larger, the greenery more vibrant, and the atmosphere reminiscent of a fantastical realm. 

However, what was an elderly man doing in such a location? 

He wore a spotless white lab coat. 

A closer observation of this senior revealed an age well beyond half a century, yet he moved with a vigour that surpassed many men younger than him. 

In essence, he appeared rather peculiar at first glance.

Suddenly, leaves rustled above the elderly man. 

He swiftly turned to gaze upward.
