In a post-apocalyptic world where civilization has collapsed, how can a community of ordinary people overcome natural disasters and the trials of human nature to rebuild a small new society atop the ruins?
· Cause of the disaster: A supervolcano erupts in Antarctica, causing sea levels to rise rapidly around the globe and triggering drastic climate change (a volcanic winter).
· Starting point: Haijin City, a fictional megacity on the coast of eastern China, with a port, plains, and distant mountains.
· Ultimate home: An abandoned complex of "Third Front" military supply depots deep in the southwestern highlands, over 3,000 meters above sea level, code-named "Wangbei."
