January 1, 1860.
After several days of hustle, the severe cold wave finally reached Qiuming City.
The sky was a gloomy gray, the temperature plummeted, and heavy snow swept across this vast city. The land and the mountains were covered in ice and snow, and the streets and houses were piled high with thick white snow. Marvin, who was explaining the Truth to his followers, paused when he saw the snowflakes falling like cotton outside, walked to the door, and caught an ice crystal in his hand.
The cold crystal dissolved instantly, turning into a clear droplet. Marvin exhaled a white breath and looked towards the wooden shed erected on the street corner.
It was a barrier constructed by refugees to resist the wind and snow. Thanks to the workers' overnight efforts, it was finally completed before the cold wave hit Qiuming City, and today...
It was also the first day of the New Year.
