When Claire Warner came out, she noticed some people bundled up tightly, moving slowly within Riventon Base.
Their movements were sluggish, and some had wrapped thick plastic bags around their bodies to ward off the cold.
Their heads were also wrapped tightly, with only their eyes visible. The fabric covering their mouths and noses was already caked with a thick layer of frost.
Two pickup trucks passed by Nina Jacobs.
The open beds of the pickup trucks were filled with stiff human corpses.
Nina Jacobs guessed they were people who had frozen to death.
The temperature was already minus 37 degrees. In her previous life, even inside the base, plenty of people still froze to death every day at this time of year.
During the days when the extreme cold made it impossible to venture outside, many people also starved to death, unable to acquire supplies.
This period was a test of every base's reserves.
