The sunset in Dawn City is always so charming, and the sunset casts a golden glow on the tall buildings. The once prosperous streets are now in ruins. The aftershocks of the earthquake are still continuing, and people on the streets are running around. The city seems to be in chaos and panic. I was trapped in the darkness of the ruins, my consciousness was blurred, and I felt as if I was experiencing an endless sleep.
Finally, I opened my eyes with difficulty, and the scene around me made me feel extremely unfamiliar. The once prosperous streets are now devastated, and the interweaving of modern technology and ancient mystery makes me feel out of place. The armor on my body looks abrupt and ancient in this ruin. I was thinking about why I came here, and suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps caught my attention.
A young woman ran towards me in a hurry, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear. She was wearing modern clothes, but they were covered with dust. She held a broken mobile phone tightly in her hand and kept trying to make a call, but she couldn't get through.
"Are you okay?" She asked almost in tears.
"I... I'm fine." I tried to make my voice sound steady. "I don't quite understand what happened here."
"There was a big earthquake just now, and the whole city was destroyed." She explained breathlessly, "Are you injured? Do you need help?"
"I don't know if I'm injured, but I feel a little lost." I looked at the armor on my body, which was out of tune with the atmosphere of this modern city.
"My name is Alison Locke." She stretched out her hand, with a tired but determined look in her eyes, "I'm a scientist. We need to find a safe place to wait for rescue. I can take you to my laboratory, where the facilities may help you."
I shook her hand gratefully and decided to follow her. Although I was still unfamiliar with the city, the current situation made me understand that safety and information are the most important.
We walked through the ruins, and Alison kept communicating with other survivors to collect the latest post-disaster information. Her laboratory is located in a modern high-rise building in Dawn City. Although the building was severely damaged by the earthquake, it still stood. When we finally arrived at the laboratory, I was amazed at the advanced technology inside. This place is not only equipped with medical equipment, but also various scientific instruments. It is obviously an emergency command center.
Alison took me to an examination area and began to check my physical condition. "Your injuries don't look serious, but we need to do further examinations. Maybe you can help us solve the mystery of this earthquake."
"Solve the mystery?" I asked puzzledly, "I remember some vague fragments, but these memories are not clear to me."
Just then, the door of the laboratory was pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in. He was wearing a slightly old suit and had a serious temperament. His eyes swept back and forth between Alison and me, and finally fixed on me.
"Alison, why did you bring a stranger back?" There was a hint of blame in his voice, but he couldn't hide the curiosity in his eyes, "Do you know how dangerous the current situation is?"
"This is Dr. Victor Stewart." Alison explained, "He is our senior magic scholar. Victor, Ethel just woke up from the ruins, and he may have some connection with this earthquake."
Victor frowned, he walked in front of me and looked at me carefully. "Your attire and breath are strange. Are you sure you don't know where you came from?"
"I... have some fragments of memory, but they are incomplete." I answered, trying to keep my tone calm.
"It seems that we have a lot of work to do." Victor frowned, "The abnormality of this earthquake may not be just a natural disaster. We must find the truth."
Just as we were discussing, the door of the laboratory was pushed open again, and this time a burly man came in. He was wearing a training suit and his face was full of tension. "Alison, Victor, the situation outside is not good! We just received news that there are abnormal energy fluctuations deep underground. This may be the source of this earthquake!"
"Jack, you are here at the right time." Alison turned to the man, "This is Ethel, he may be related to this incident. We need your help to ensure safety."
Jack nodded and quickly checked the laboratory's security system to make sure there was no threat. Then he turned to me with a hint of sympathy and curiosity in his eyes. "Ethel, what do you think? Do you think you can help us?"
I took a deep breath and felt the tense atmosphere of the city. Although my memory of my past is vague, I know that as a reborn person, I have a mission. "I will do my best. No matter how dangerous this incident is, I am willing to participate in it." Victor nodded, as if accepting my decision. He walked to a large screen in the center of the laboratory and called up the surveillance footage when the earthquake occurred. In the picture, at the moment of the earthquake, the light deep underground was extremely strong, and it seemed that some mysterious power was hidden. "This is the information we have at present." Victor explained, "These abnormal energy fluctuations may be related to some ancient power. This power was sealed deep underground by the legendary magician, and now they seem to be unsealed." Alison walked to my side and whispered, "We need to know more about the situation, especially your identity and ability. You can help us solve the mystery of this incident and maybe find the truth of the seal." I nodded, and a strong determination surged in my heart. Although I am unfamiliar with this modern world, I know that in this chaotic situation, I must exert my power to find out the truth. "Our first task now is to identify the source of the underground energy and find a solution." Jack said, "I will lead you to the epicenter of the earthquake. We need to be fully prepared."
I went to the epicenter of the earthquake with Alison, Victor and Jack. On the way there, I found myself gradually adapting to the technological equipment and environment of the city. I benefited a lot from Alison and Victor's expertise, and Jack's training and experience also made me feel safe.
Finally, we arrived at the underground area of the epicenter. There was a strong energy fluctuation, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. I took a deep breath and prepared for the upcoming challenges.
"Our mission here is to find the location of the seal and prevent any possible disasters." Victor said, "We must be careful, there may be dangers hidden here that we can't imagine."
I nodded, my heart full of expectations for the future. Although this city is still full of unknowns for me, I know that my rebirth is not only a personal story, but also closely related to this disaster. I must face challenges, find out my mission, and prepare for the coming darkness.
