I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

While searching for something, it was discovered by a Parademon. Seeing that it couldn't shake off its opponent, it decided to fight back.

By the time the other Parademon squads arrived,

All that could be seen was what remained in the air.

Embers scorched by extreme heat.

...

In the sewers,

Ah Cai moved with incredible skill through the intricate network of pipes.

Soon we arrived at an abandoned subway station.

This subway station, located dozens of meters underground in the metropolis, had its entrances and exits buried by collapsed high-rise buildings.

It is now the only refuge for the remaining, still-living humans.

Inside the three carriages, deformed by falling rocks, lived more than a hundred surviving humans.

There were men and women, young and old.

these people,

They are the last survivors on the entire planet.

After entering the subway station area, Ah Cai landed on the ground and started walking on all fours.

As soon as it entered the carriage, everyone inside turned their attention to it.

Those were hopeful eyes.

"It's Manny..."

"Manny's back..."

"Mom...it's not hurt, is it..."

"Good boy, it's the strongest dog in the world."

It won't get hurt.

Ah Cai walked slowly down the corridor, listening to the whispers and murmurs of the crowd.

Their steps never stopped.

finally,

It came to the end of the second carriage, in front of a woman holding a child.

The woman appeared to be in her forties, and looked extremely haggard.

She sat on the floor, which was covered only by a few newspapers, leaning against the wall, gently patting the little girl in her arms, and softly humming an unknown tune.

It sounds like some kind of lullaby.

She showed no reaction to Ah Cai's arrival, as if she hadn't seen him at all, and continued to soothe the cat she was holding in her arms with a blank expression.

That child who didn't move.

Ah Cai didn't say anything, he just stood quietly in front of her.

Then, it lowered its head and gently placed the package it was carrying in its mouth on the ground in front of her.

The package was a tattered piece of cloth; when unfolded, several bottles of pills rolled out of it.

These are all medications for treating colds and fevers, as well as anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs.

Ah Cai waited for a while, but then realized that the woman didn't seem to notice him.

Seeing this, it let out a very soft…but just loud enough for one to hear clearly.

“Woof…”

At the same time, it raised its front paw and gently touched the woman's curled-up knee.

It seemed they wanted her to pick up the medicine on the ground.

But the woman seemed slow to react; it took her a while before she looked down at it.

Then he glanced at the pills on the ground.

Finally, he slowly extended a hand, raised a finger to his lips, and said cautiously:

"Shh...

Don't wake my baby...

She's asleep.

After saying that, she continued to hum a lullaby softly.

No further action was taken.

Ah Cai tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.

But then someone gently patted his hind leg and gently pulled it aside.

This is a thin, homeless man.

He lay on his side on the ground, glancing at the woman opposite him with a heavy heart, then leaned close to Ah Cai's ear and whispered:

Her child is dead...

Shortly before you came back…

Those medications are no longer effective.

Upon hearing this, Ah Cai turned to look at the woman and the child in her arms.

The droopy ears suddenly perked up.

But all that could be heard was the woman's heartbeat.

The child in her arms, who looked like he was asleep, had stopped breathing and had no heartbeat.

That annoying little rascal who, not long ago, would hug its neck all day, tug at its whiskers, and say in a childish voice that he wanted to grow up with it,

And so it fell into eternal silence.

Looking at the woman's consistently calm face, even though Ah Cai wasn't human,

They seemed to understand something as well.

Subsequently,

It gently walked up to the woman and carefully nuzzled the drooping hand of the little girl in her arms with its furry head.

After that, I didn't bother them anymore.

It turned around and lowered its head.

Continue walking towards the third carriage.

Along the way, other people greeted it and called its name.

It ignored them all.

Finally, it reached the end of the carriage and lay down next to a woman who was squatting on the edge of the carriage.

Then they curled up together.
