To Go or to Wait

June in Senchuan City was a season prone to thunderstorms. Despite a heavy rain last night, the heavens showed no intention of relenting, continuing to pour more rain onto the steel and concrete forest that was gradually returning to its natural state.

The dense thickets received ample moisture, promising even more lush growth after the rain. The high-tech modern skyscrapers, battered by repeated winds and rain, accelerated their process of damp decay, becoming more suitable breeding grounds for weeds and ivy.

Only a fraction of the city's former inhabitants remained, struggling for survival in various inconspicuous corners, shivering and trembling. Besides watching helplessly as their once prosperous city gradually declined, they also had to fight for survival every day.
