The desert lay to the west of Sunset Province.0

Although it was named a desert, it wasn't as barren as most wastelanders imagined.0

Collapsed concrete buildings half-buried in sand, rusted warehouses and factories… Everything spoke of a once-flourishing civilization. Even after two centuries of sandstorms, they still hadn't completely swallowed the man-made marvel that spanned over 1,000 kilometers.0

Moreover, due to the convergence of underground ocean current pipelines in the area, large amounts of desalinated seawater had seeped into the bedrock through ruptured pipes, forming rich underground aquifers.0

So, despite the constant earthquakes, sandstorms, radioactive dust, and thundercloud storms, the species thriving there were even more abundant than those in neighboring Sunset Province. That province only retained a few oases as remnants of its past, but the desert was the complete opposite. The leftover blessings were so abundant they were practically overflowing.2
