News on Day 52 of the Wasteland Calendar: Baku's Worries

Snow fell over Green Forest City.

A blizzard swept across the entire city, turning everything white.

The whole city fell silent.

The Thug Factions were gone. So were the Scavengers, the Refugees, and the Survivors.

The Thug Factions had all retreated into the Defensive Fortifications they had prepared in advance.

They had sensed the extreme weather coming several days earlier and had prepared for it to be severe.

But temperatures had dropped by more than ten degrees Celsius, sometimes nearly twenty, in a short span of time. Many thugs still died in the first two days of the Extreme Cold Disaster.

Even more Scavengers, Refugees, and Survivors died.

Apart from a small number of exceptionally clever Survivors, virtually all of them perished within two days.

Their bodies became ice sculptures hidden in corners throughout the city, their lives quietly snuffed out.

Yet faint smiles lingered on many of their faces.

It was as though they were celebrating their release.
