Bab 1009: An Unusual Parade, The Arrival of the Delegation from Auraboros

Day 340 - 12:10 PM - Evernight Base, Kachidoki, Reclaimed City, Ruins of Tokyo

The cold wind blew as the temperature of the surroundings dropped. Outside, a soft rain of fluffy ice could be seen as the first snow of the season fell, marking the arrival of winter.

Many people watched the snowfall, not with any glee for its beauty. The people of the Reclaimed City had already prepared for this season as much as they could. Unfortunately, the preparations they could get were limited.

Without the expensive gas or with electricity limitedly rationed, regular people could not use electric heaters in their homes and tents. The poor refugees could only rely on the old metal barrels they could use to burn anything that could serve as a heat source.

And food would be even more limited. There would be fewer animals for the hunters to hunt during winter, and only the crops within the Reclaimed City's controlled environment would grow.
