The dimming sunset could not conceal the bleak chill. Freezing rain poured recklessly from the sky, blanketing everything.
Within the neatly arranged streets of Qinggang City, the buildings that had once been humanity's pride looked like tombstones. The gaping windows let out howling ghost sounds, as if wailing for the civilization of the past.
Blue Star's environment might have been harsh, with radiation-contaminated land potentially appearing anywhere.
But compared to the extreme environmental changes of the wasteland, it still fell far short.
The rain had begun on the night of January 31 and continued until the evening of February 1.
In just one day, the temperature had plunged from twenty degrees above zero to five degrees below zero, and it was still falling.
For the Mole People living on the edge of the tropics, this was a disaster no less severe than the dense fog.

But now, it was damp and cold.
On the hurried journey back to the shelter, Su Mo had incidentally struck another deal with several allies.
He exchanged Cold Protection Supplies for some sought-after industrial products.
Hunter Tiger had unexpectedly contributed a Macromolecular Biological Research Machine. Its function was similar to a microscope, but its observation range was much broader.
According to him, keeping it would be useless, so it might as well be used by the alliance.
Of course, judging by the way he was shivering from the cold,
perhaps in the big bald man's heart, Cold Protection Supplies were truly more important than a research machine.
"For the next few days, let's wait for this heavy rain to pass. With the temperature dropping so sharply, we'll have to slow down our infrastructure work too."
