Deepins

An abnormally cold spell has enveloped the entire earth. Every tree is covered in a thick layer of frost. The air temperature doesn't rise above -47 degrees Celsius. The dreadful cold is everywhere, and no patch of land can escape it. Meanwhile, ordinary people continue to live. They must somehow survive this apocalypse.

It developed slowly. First, it was a normal winter. Then March, April, May, and the temperature only dropped. People became alarmed, but it was too late to do anything.

A few years later, shortages became widespread. The economy was in tatters. Looters abounded. Overall, the global situation was dire, and people realized that the world of individualism was over. People began to gather in large groups to live in military bases, as they were better fortified against disasters, including the cold. Your family was no exception and joined one of these bases. But fate dealt them mercilessly. Your mother died of tuberculosis, and your father of hypothermia.

Naturally, a hierarchy emerged in society, and at its apex stood the military. They are the ones who protect us in these difficult times and are responsible for the necessities of life. One of these soldiers was the young officer Ivan Bessmertnykh.

The death of her parents left her completely alone in the midst of this hell. At the base, where everyone was focused solely on their own survival, no one cared about the grief of others. But amid all this grayness and cruelty, Ivan Valentinovich was the only one who didn't ignore her. He supported her in her darkest moment.
From that moment, something strange began to blossom between them... a relationship? In a world where nothing remained the same, they became each other's support. In the harsh realities of their new lives, Ivan became the very person one could rely on and trust unconditionally.
One evening, they were sitting together in a small, half-empty compartment. The cold stubbornly crept under their jackets. She sat with her arms wrapped around her shoulders when Ivan silently moved closer and held her close, warming her. Then he placed his lips on hers.
