Chapter 92: A Lifeline in a Dry World

The morning sun shone brightly, its rays warming the rooftop of Ryo's old home, a sanctuary in a desolate world. Ryo stood atop the roof, his eyes fixed on the rainwater catchment system he had installed the previous day. The system, a complex network of gutters, pipes, and storage tanks, was designed to capture and store rainwater, providing a valuable source of water in this arid landscape. Ryo inspected the system with a critical eye, his hands tightening bolts and securing pipes to ensure optimal function.

He cleared debris from the gutters, ensuring that water could flow freely and efficiently into the storage tanks. The sun glinted off the metal surfaces, creating a mesmerizing display of light and shadow. Ryo took a moment to appreciate the beauty of the system, the intricate network of pipes and gutters working in harmony to provide a vital resource.
