Story Transcript:
Zh: 春天到了。
En: Spring has arrived.
Zh: 满是废墟的城市里，野花悄然开放，生机与残破同时存在。
En: In a city filled with ruins, wildflowers quietly bloom, with vitality and destruction coexisting.
Zh: 天空暗沉，预示着暴雨即将来临。
En: The sky is dark, indicating that a storm is about to come.
Zh: 李伟和美玲在一家倒塌的超市前相遇。
En: Li Wei and Mei Ling meet in front of a collapsed supermarket.
Zh: 李伟是个老练的拾荒者，总能在城市残骸中找到有用的物品。
En: Li Wei is an experienced scavenger, always able to find useful items among the city's debris.
Zh: 美玲则是村庄的守护者，平时独立坚强，但对她的同胞充满关爱。
En: Mei Ling, on the other hand, is a guardian of her village, typically independent and strong, but full of care for her fellow people.
Zh: 两人都在寻找食物和药品，希望灾后世界中部有机会生存。
En: Both are searching for food and medicine in hopes of surviving in the post-disaster world.
Zh: 超市里物资所剩无几，几个空荡荡的货架上，一排排的罐头仍清晰可见。
En: The supplies in the supermarket are almost depleted, with several empty shelves, except for rows of canned goods still clearly visible.
Zh: 美玲捡起一罐，只见盖子已经生锈，她叹了口气。
En: Mei Ling picks up a can and notices the lid is rusty; she sighs.
Zh: 李伟注意到她的失望，开口说：“这些罐头大概还能吃。”
En: Li Wei notices her disappointment and says, "These cans are probably still edible."
Zh: “你怎么知道的？”美玲半信半疑。
En: "How do you know?" Mei Ling asks, half skeptical.
Zh: 李伟耸耸肩，“多年经验啦。”
En: Li Wei shrugs, "Years of experience."
Zh: 两人继续在货架间搜索，发现了几包压缩饼干和一瓶消毒水。
En: They continue to search the shelves and find a few packs of compressed biscuits and a bottle of disinfectant.
Zh: 这些东西在这个世界，可是最宝贵的。
En: In this world, these items are incredibly valuable.
Zh: 李伟想到自己一个人生活，随时准备离开，但他也看到美玲的眼中似乎有求助的光。
En: Li Wei thinks about living alone, ready to leave at any time, but he also sees a hint of a plea for help in Mei Ling's eyes.
Zh: 外面已经开始刮风，乌云迅速集聚。
En: Outside, the wind has started to blow, and dark clouds gather quickly.
Zh: 他们知道时间不多了。
En: They know time is running out.
Zh: 美玲望着外面说：“暴雨快来了，我们得找个地方躲雨。”
En: Mei Ling looks outside and says, "The storm is coming fast; we need to find a place to take cover."
Zh: 在这个危险的天气中，李伟意识到合作的重要。
En: In this dangerous weather, Li Wei realizes the importance of cooperation.
Zh: “我知道一个地方不错，可以暂时避雨。”他提议。
En: "I know a good place to take shelter from the rain temporarily," he suggests.
Zh: “那我们一同去吧。”美玲终于放下心中的顾虑，决定信任李伟。
En: "Then let's go together." Mei Ling finally sets aside her concerns and decides to trust Li Wei.
Zh: 他们匆匆离开超市，穿过满是碎石的街道。
En: They quickly leave the supermarket, crossing streets full of rubble.
Zh: 在一处废弃的地下停车场，他们终于找到了一片相对安全的地方避雨。
En: In an abandoned underground parking lot, they finally find a relatively safe spot to wait out the rain.
Zh: 风声呼啸，雨水开始倾盆而下。
En: The wind howls, and the rain begins to pour down.
Zh: 在狭小的空间里，他们互相分享信息，告诉对方各自知道的藏有救命资源的地方。
En: In the cramped space, they share information with each other, telling one another about places where life-saving resources are hidden.
Zh: 李伟想着自己的经历，也明白了团结和信任的力量，美玲则初次感受到依靠他人时那种无形的温暖。
En: Reflecting on his experiences, Li Wei understands the power of unity and trust, while Mei Ling feels, for the first time, the intangible warmth of relying on others.
Zh: 暴雨中，他们的合作为了生存，迈出了第一步。
En: Amidst the storm, their cooperation is a first step towards survival.
Zh: 无论外面的世界多么荒凉，有时一个信任就能带来光明。
En: No matter how desolate the outside world may be, sometimes a bit of trust can bring brightness.
Zh: 他们最终决定将手中的资源整合，共同面对未来的挑战。
En: They ultimately decide to pool their resources and face future challenges together.
Zh: 雨停时，春日阳光重新洒遍大地，李伟和美玲也准备出发，继续他们的求生之旅，但这次，他们并不孤单。
En: When the rain stops, spring sunshine spreads across the earth again, and Li Wei and Mei Ling prepare to set off, continuing their survival journey, but this time, they are not alone.
