bald cypress in winter

Have you often come across a game where you start with a bonfire, surrounded by ice and snow, with resources all manually transported, and monsters attacking at any time... Xia Hong wakes up to find himself in such a world. The ice and snow rage on, beasts rule the land, civilization is lost, and all people and things that once existed have been invaded into powerful and bizarre entities, leaving humans as a humble race surviving in the shadow of winter, on the brink of extinction. Fortunately, Xia Hong possesses a camp system that can upgrade infinitely. [Small Bonfire]—[Iron Furnace]—[Solar Cauldron]... [Wooden Post]—[Training Ground]—[Martial Arts Hall]... [Bamboo Fence]—[Black Soil Wall]—[Iron Wall]... [Monument Stone]—[Notice Board]—[Hero's Monument]... ... As Xia Hong slays the beasts and exterminates the bizarre entities, gradually gathering humans, dispelling the winter, and opening up territory, the mysterious veil of this world is slowly unveiled in its entirety.

Sind Sie schon oft auf ein Spiel gestoßen, in dem Sie mit einem Lagerfeuer beginnen, umgeben von Eis und Schnee, mit Ressourcen, die alle manuell transportiert werden müssen, und Monstern, die jederzeit angreifen können... Xia Hong wacht auf und findet sich in einer solchen Welt wieder. Eis und Schnee toben, Bestien beherrschen das Land, die Zivilisation ist verloren, und alle Menschen und Dinge, die einst existierten, wurden in mächtige und bizarre Wesenheiten verwandelt, was die Menschheit zu einer bescheidenen Rasse macht, die im Schatten des Winters am Rande des Aussterbens überlebt. Glücklicherweise besitzt Xia Hong ein Lagersystem, das unendlich aufgerüstet werden kann. [Kleines Lagerfeuer]—[Eisenofen]—[Sonnenkessel]... [Holzpfosten]—[Übungsplatz]—[Kampfkunsthalle]... [Bambuszaun]—[Schwarzerde-Mauer]—[Eisenmauer]... [Gedenkstein]—[Anschlagtafel]—[Heldendenkmal]... ... Während Xia Hong die Bestien erschlägt und die bizarren Wesenheiten ausrottet, allmählich Menschen um sich sammelt, den Winter vertreibt und Territorium erschließt, wird der geheimnisvolle Schleier dieser Welt langsam in seiner Gesamtheit gelüftet.
