On the last day of March, the temperature in the city where the Fourth Beast Awakening University in North China is located is minus 29°C.

In the context of a rapidly cooling global climate, long and harsh winters have become the norm in this city. There are only four months of the year when the temperature is above 0°C, and the highest temperature in summer does not exceed 15°C - if you can count summer.

The beginning of everything was in the fog a hundred and thirty years ago.

It erupted without warning, and the world was exhausted within three days. When the thick fog dissipated, the sleeping animal genes in the human body were completely awakened, which was called "Wild Awakening" in history.

Different people wake up to different animal families, either birds or beasts, which are manifested in the sudden possession of some motor nerves or behavioral habits similar to those of the animal, and later the development of "beastization" and "half-beastization" and other forms.

When human beings realized that this kind of change was irreversible, society inevitably suffered an unprecedented impact. Fortunately, after 30 years, human beings have adapted to their own changes, and society has continued to develop in the fusion of the old and new order.

Just then, a change came quietly.

Volcanoes, earthquakes, freezing rain, blizzard... Countless geological and climatic disasters began to occur frequently around the world, and then it was the coldest winter in the northern hemisphere on record. Six months later, the southern hemisphere was not spared either.

It was only later that people realized that the word "everytime" was used too early.

That was just the beginning of the "Earth Snap Freeze Period". Since then, human beings have been stuffed into a constantly cooling refrigerator. For a whole century, as the frigid zone approaches the equator, the area of arable land that can be cultivated has been severely reduced or even disappeared. Food production, energy crises, economic collapse, shrinking populations, technological stagnation and even retrogression.
