March 24th, wasteland time.
The twenty-sixth day of Su Mo's sea voyage.
The eighty-fourth day since humanity arrived on this land.
It started just like any other day.
The weather on the wasteland was poor. Torrential rain had been pouring since midnight. Without the game's control, the storm raged on for most of the night. Paired with roaring thunder and flashing lightning, it gave the survivors a profound sense of impending doom. Fortunately, as the morning sun rose, the downpour weakened into a light, soothing drizzle.
Bathed in this gentle rain, the core members of Hope Village woke up bright and early.
Just past six o'clock, Chen Shen, Qi Qin, Pei Shao, and the others got up with a tacit understanding. They grabbed their umbrellas and began rousing the rest of the camp.
It went exactly as expected.
When Chen Shen announced that their Shelter Director was finally returning, cheers erupted across the Iron and Stone Hill, vibrating the puddles of rainwater on the summit.
