April 14th on the doomsday calendar.
It was the 103rd day since the human race arrived in the wasteland. Only three days remained until the heavy snowfall disaster.
Last night, by the time the final villager rushed back to the basin, it was already past 2:40 AM. Exhausted from a day of labor and the arduous journey back and forth, most people simply washed up in a hurry before crawling into bed and falling into a deep sleep. Unfortunately, the nighttime coal transportation produced intermittent engine roars and the thunderous crashing of coal being dumped onto the ground. This prevented anyone from getting a good, solid night's rest. Every time they were on the verge of falling asleep, a loud noise jolted them awake!
