According to monitoring by the city's weather warning station, a cold air flow of unknown origin is spreading across the world. Some northern regions are already experiencing blizzard conditions, and some rivers have even frozen over.This cold air flow is highly likely to be directly or indirectly related to the recent series of extreme weather events.
Based on currently available data, ocean surface temperatures are already above normal levels, and the atmospheric structure is also highly unstable, constantly in a state of potential eruption. Once triggered, it will produce powerful vertical updrafts.
Furthermore, based on monitoring of recent thunderstorm cloud clusters, we have found that these cloud clusters are beginning to gather, merge, and rotate around a center, showing signs of forming 'cloud clusters'. Through final evolution, these cloud clusters are highly likely to develop into storm eyes.
At that point, the airflow at the top of the storm will continuously radiate outward, transforming into an 'exhaust fan' that constantly draws air and ground heat from within the storm upward. The scale of these storms will rapidly intensify.
If these storms merge, they will form unprecedented 'super storm clusters', and not just one.
According to predictions, we are currently in the gestation phase of super storm cluster formation, a stage that will likely last from several days to about a week.
Afterwards, it will enter the storm development phase. Dispersed convective cloud clusters will rotate and aggregate, officially forming extreme storms. As the storm structure rapidly symmetrizes, a dense central cloud area forms, and the eyewall begins to construct, the storm clusters will be completely formed.
An unprecedented disaster is about to arrive.
We urge all citizens to begin disaster supply preparations in advance.

The Aurora Animal Assistance Association conducted a detailed study on the mechanical transformer remains submitted by Hogg. They detected the presence of spirituality within the alloy metal.
It was confirmed that these mechanical transformer remains represent the successful application of spiritual energy in the mechanical field.
This provided great inspiration to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association. They attempted to replicate the same metal using the 【Spirituality Concentrate】.
However, several experiments all ended in failure without exception.
Their research has reached an impasse.

According to informant reports.
Last night around midnight, a peculiarly dressed team quietly entered Greenwood City. These people came from the sea, yet they all wore tight black robes covering their faces.
They gave off a mysterious, gloomy feeling.
Finally, they disappeared into the southern district.

Yu Yuan looked at the news about the super storm clusters.
"It's finally here!"
These past few days, whether it was Carmen, Mona, or even Hans, they had all given feedback to Yu Yuan.
Whether it was the Aurora Animal Assistance Association or large factions like the Burning Fortress, they had all noticed the recent abnormal weather and were already making corresponding preparations.
Now, the formation of the super storm clusters had entered a countdown.
Presumably, the current situation among the several factions in Greenwood City would also undergo some changes because of these storm clusters.
Currently, Greenwood City has formed a tripartite struggle for dominance.
With Carmen and Mona inside, the Black Shield Police Department and the Aurora Animal Assistance Association basically held no secrets from him.
He could even, to a certain extent, use Carmen and Mona to achieve his own goals.
As for the faction alliance composed of the Thug Prison, Burning Fortress, and Iron Anchor Shipping Company, by now it was basically a name only.
With Gaina's defection and the covetous eyes of other forces in the Northern Wilderness, the Burning Fortress had temporarily retracted its reach back to its headquarters.
Since capturing that deep-sea monster fish, the Iron Anchor Shipping Company had been single-mindedly focused on controlling it, hoping that by mastering the monster fish, they could use it as a springboard to control more marine spiritual creatures and thereby control more marine resources.
With this deep-sea monster fish, their interest in the Aurora Animal Assistance Association had greatly diminished.
But unfortunately, under the Endless Cold Wave, even the sea was freezing over, rendering their efforts ultimately futile.
Only the old leader, Thug Prison, was still forging ahead diligently.
With the recent death of the mechanical transformer Shiva, Blackfire's attitude towards the Black Shield Police Department had also changed somewhat.
However, with Hans lurking within the Burning Fortress, Yu Yuan could more or less learn some information about the other two factions.
Only with the 【Ring East City Resistance Alliance】 did Yu Yuan have no channels for obtaining information, only able to glean bits and pieces from the daily news.
But with the appearance of the 'Humpback Whale', the originally weakest 【Ring East City Resistance Alliance】 seemed to show signs of rising.
The key to the problem still lay with the 'Humpback Whale'.
He needed someone who could provide intelligence about the "Humpback Whale".
Yu Yuan then looked at Zhi Zhi on his shoulder.
"So, how was today's absorption?"
Zhi Zhi merged with Yu Yuan's shadow.
"Master, there was an improvement! But it's very slight. Perhaps it has a lot to do with this intelligence not being very secretive."
Yu Yuan naturally understood this reasoning.
"It's fine, as long as there's improvement. Little by little adds up. Later, I'll find a way to obtain those forbidden, secretive pieces of knowledge. That way, you can grow quickly too."
"Understood, Master. I'm not in a hurry! Squeak squeak...."
That night, Yu Yuan left the shelter and headed for the Greenwood City Radio Tower.
Yu Yuan was very interested in that Epic-tier facility, the 【Radio Station】. This was already his second time coming here.
Yesterday, he had already made one trip moving things, but unfortunately, there were too many things that needed disassembly and moving, so he could only come again today.
Fortunately, Yu Yuan was already familiar with the place. He quickly arrived at the broadcast hall and began disassembling the parts he needed.
Right at that moment, he received a message from Hans.
【Loyalty: Sir, I have conducted reconnaissance on those two feed factories. One of the feed factories is occupied by a group of scavengers, roughly 30 people. However, there's a bit of a situation at the other feed factory.】
As he spoke, a photo was transmitted over.
It showed a huge factory building named Xianda Feed Factory, with dozens of vehicles parked inside, including tanks and heavy armored vehicles.
These vehicles were different from the patchwork wasteland combat vehicles Yu Yuan had seen before.
They were all standard, uniformly produced models. Even the spike rams installed on the front of those trucks were all the same size and dimensions.
The most eye-catching, naturally, was the peculiar emblem appearing on these vehicles.
But when Yu Yuan saw the emblem in the photo, his gaze sharpened.
"This is..."
Red, black, silver, chainsword, and gear...
Wasn't this the emblem of the Mechanical Vanguard Society?
【Loyalty: Sir, I think I've seen this emblem before when I was at the Thug Prison. I did some reconnaissance of the surrounding area. Judging from the traces, they entered the feed factory yesterday, left for Greenwood City this morning, but then turned back halfway and returned.】
【Loyalty: It's currently unclear when they will leave.】
Looking at Hans's information, Yu Yuan's mind was racing.
These supplies and equipment were clearly support for the Thug Prison. So why were they parked here now?
After thinking for a moment, he told Hans to continue observing.
There was something strange about this matter. It had to be figured out.
