The Subzero

Twelve years back, the land collapsed, the sea rose. Ten years later, the asteroids rained down, the other planets gone.

Then, the Subzero started.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A year after the Late Asteroid Bombardment, a winter came that seemed to last a lifetime. No one expected the new apocalypse coming---the Subzero.

The dust particles of dissolved Mars and asteroids shrouded the atmosphere, preventing the sunlight from reaching the planet's surface. The Earth turned into a complete ball of ice, freezing even the flux of life. Food became a luxury. The extinction began. Survival became impossible.

Seventeen years in existence, a survivor of the first two apocalypse, now struggling against the Subzero, Halley Jacquards is left alone after her whole family died. She is left to suffer starvation and thirst, oppressed by the blizzard that turns everyone frozen. Tempted and forced to go outside from hunger, she meets Grey Laxford of South Division, who promises to help her into survival.

Ranging from the divisions of Pangaea Ultima to the Pacific Ring of Fire, the South Division team will suffer the wrath of nature, the lost of technology, the inconsistency of trust, and everyone's greed just to survive.
