Cold.
Freezing cold.
Cold that seeped into every cell.
Even wearing Specialized Equipment, Yu Xin and his two companions still felt as if they had plunged naked into an ice cave, the suffocating cold crushing them.
This was a hopeless world.

The more you thought about it, the more likely you were to hallucinate. And in the Nether Sea, the ghosts
