He wasn’t sure whether he should reveal his identity or not.

As the train approached its destination, his heart started pounding with excitement and fear. He had never been to a place like Eden before, and he didn't know what to expect. Alice noticed his apprehension and gave him an encouraging smile.

"Don't worry, Jake. You're going to love it here. We're a community of survivors who have banded together to build a new world, one that's sustainable and just. We're like a big family, and we take care of each other."

He nodded, trying to take it all in. The train slowed down and came to a stop at a platform inside a huge underground cavern. He saw a bustling crowd of people waiting to board the train, carrying bags and boxes of supplies.

Alice led him out of the train and into the cavern. He was amazed by what he saw. The cavern was enormous, with high ceilings and bright lights. There were buildings and structures everywhere, made of metal and glass and concrete. There were gardens and farms and waterfalls and lakes. There were people of all ages and races and genders, dressed in all kinds of clothes, working, and playing and chatting.

Rish felt overwhelmed by the sights and sounds and smells. He had never seen so much life and activity in one place. He felt a tug on his hand and looked down to see Alice smiling up at him.

"Come on, I'll show you around," she said.

Alice took Jake on a tour of the city, showing him the different areas and facilities. They went to the housing section, where each family had their own apartment or house. They went to the education centre, where children and adults learned new skills and knowledge. They went to the medical clinic, where doctors and nurses treated patients with advanced technology and medicine. They went to the market, where people traded goods and services with each other. They went to the recreation centre, where people played games and sports and watched movies.

He was amazed by the level of organization and cooperation in Eden. He saw people working together in harmony and respect, using their skills and talents to improve the community. He saw people smiling and laughing and hugging each other, showing love and compassion.

He felt a warmth in his heart that he had not felt in a long time. He felt a sense of belonging and purpose that he had been missing in his lonely travels. He felt grateful to Alice and the people of Eden for welcoming him and giving him a new chance at life.

As they walked back to Alice's apartment, Rishang asked her a question that had been on his mind.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxONKk7yy
"How did you guys survive the apocalypse? How did you build all this?"
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZMW3kQYgW
Alice looked at him with a serious expression.

"It wasn't easy, Jake. It took us many years and many sacrifices. But we had a vision, a dream of a better world. We had a plan, a strategy of using science and technology to create a self-sustaining habitat. We had a community, a network of like-minded people who shared our values and goals. And most importantly, we had hope, a belief that we could make a difference, that we could create a new civilization from the ashes of the old one."
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqGz8qNPiZ
He nodded, impressed by Alice's words.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0LLqNJDS3
"I want to be part of that dream," he said.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6BlgNx6Gs
Alice smiled and opened the door to his new apartment.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cG3hbTL8Z
"Welcome home, Jake."
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3GaFq0AY8
Jake was amazed at the sight of Eden. He had never seen anything like it before. The city was bustling with activity, people going about their business, the sound of laughter and music filling the air. Alice led him through the city, showing him the different facilities, they had. Jake was impressed by the advanced technology they had and the abundance of resources.

At first, his stay in Eden was happy enough. The people were welcoming and friendly, offering him food and shelter. He was amazed by the beauty of the place, with its lush greenery and crystal-clear streams.

He spent his days exploring the village, talking to the locals, and learning about their way of life. They told him stories about their ancestors, the founding of Eden, and their beliefs. They had a deep reverence for nature and believed that all living beings were connected.

He enjoyed his time in Eden and felt a sense of peace and tranquillity. The people were kind, and there was a sense of community that he had never experienced before. He even considered staying there longer than he had originally planned.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX4K2rKJrA
However, as the days went on, he began to notice certain things that made him uneasy. There were rumours of outsiders disappearing and never returning, but the people of Eden dismissed them as stories told to scare children.

He also noticed that there were certain areas of the village that were off-limits, and when he asked about them, the people became evasive and changed the subject. Despite his growing suspicions, he tried to ignore them and enjoy his time in Eden.
