The mountains, stained with an ink-like color, split this vast Desert Zone into two regions, East and West.
The desert in the eastern section is highly undulating, having been drastically altered following earthquakes and acid rain disasters.
Low valleys and cracks torn open by earthquakes are now covered with bone-corrosive acid rain, forming ponds or small lakes.
On the tops of towering slopes and hills, there are now hundreds of refugee villages of various sizes.
The refugee villages are far apart from each other, with no interaction between them, and no matter which village you look at, it is surrounded by one or two layers of stone or wooden walls, declaring the sovereignty of the land like a banner, inviolable.
Around each shelter, there are some dispatched "Hunters."
They are the lifeline of the entire shelter and the hope sent out.
The mutant creatures inhabiting this desert are the primary source of food for humans and are the most important supply.
