"Ethics and morality should shine with human civilization to the last moment." This sentence inspired my imagination of the end of human civilization. I got inspiration from that and created a post-apocalyptic worldview like "The Lost City ". It is an adventure novel and the narrative form is POV. This fiction tells the story of the little girl Noah and the boy Archer who grew up in the Green District of the Outer City entering the Academy, which is the only entrance to the Inner City. With the help of teacher Mr. Andrew, chef Miss Mary, and others, Noah and Archer explore the Academy, gradually approach, discover, and finally expose how the director Mr. Brandon controls the Academy and the secrets of the Inner City. I hope to show the collision of human rationality and sensibility in the context of the doomsday, as well as the spirit of loyalty, integrity, dedication, etc. Even if technology, history, and the arts are annihilated at the end of the world, the wisdom and courage of human beings to deal with crises cannot be destroyed. The dissertation contains the first three chapters, and the total word count is about 11,000 words.
