Major Settlement Number One, located outside the South Gate of North Border City, lay a dozen miles away, separated from the city by a vast expanse of white snow that had completely buried the only main road.
Lin Wei and a group of his fellow students raced along the road, their powerful bodies plowing through the heavy, falling snow, moving like phantoms.
He glanced back at the dark, sprawling buildings of the settlement, a lingering fear still gripping his heart.
It was a disaster that had struck with terrifying suddenness. Their mission had been simple: hunt weak Demon Beasts in the Northern Wilderness and clear out any threats to the outermost settlements of North Border City.
But then the Blizzard hit, forcing him and the other students back to the settlement. Next, the storm had obliterated the small settlement with unstoppable force, a tempest so vast it seemed to blot out half the sky. All communications were down.
