Dong Ji City.
The sudden change in the world's rules caused the industrial city, which had been rapidly preparing for war, to grind to an immediate halt.
The Military Factory, built only recently, suddenly stopped. The massive production equipment froze, its rapidly spinning gears coming to an abrupt halt, and the conveyor belts stopped as well.
