The sky was overcast, dark clouds gathering rapidly as if a torrential downpour was brewing.
Though it had only just passed noon, the weather looked like evening.
On an abandoned highway, Lin Ye stood on a shield, flying low at a height of five meters above the ground.
The farmland by the road had long been covered in weeds. The dense wild grass was as tall as a person, and desolation filled every corner of the land.
His destination today was City No. 042, two hundred kilometers away—formerly the JJ District.
A major river passed through the city, and it was surrounded by many mountain ranges led by Four-Sided Mountain.
