Description
In the end, the catastrophe wasn't triggered by human action. Global temperatures had been on the rise for years, and both humanity and the environment gradually adapted to the challenge. Yet finally, a volcanic eruption tipped the balance, releasing a surge of carbon dioxide and particles into the atmosphere. Unprecedented heatwaves ensued, causing droughts and famines across the continent. The dying vegetation elevated carbon dioxide levels even more. Initially, people experienced fatigue, then unconsciousness. Soon, normal live was no longer possible. They fled to the mountains and sought shelter in tunnels, establishing the foundation for a new civilization.
Starting with basic amenities, humanity found a way to rise again. Rediscovered old technology paved the way for the construction of massive hermetically sealed domes in the valleys, interconnected by the road tunnels that initially served as habitats. Nature, too, adapted, even some animals returned. While it's now possible to venture outside, carbon dioxide levels remain too high for unprotected breathing. Nevertheless, a newfound awareness of the fragility of our environment has emerged.
