The morning sun bathed the compound in a warm, golden light, signaling the start of another day filled with preparation and vigilance. Ryo stepped out, closing the door securely behind him, and made his way towards the gate, his footsteps echoing on the gravel path. The heavy-duty locks and reinforced fence stood tall, a testament to their dedication to safety. As he approached the gate, he gave the lock a firm tug, ensuring its sturdiness.
Ryo's gaze drifted to the truck parked inside their compound. It was their trusted companion for supply runs, a lifeline to the outside world. He turned the key in the ignition, and the engine roared to life, its familiar rumble a source of comfort. While the engine warmed up, he performed a meticulous inspection, checking the tires for any signs of wear and tear, topping up the oil, and verifying the fuel level. He knew that proper maintenance was crucial for their survival.
