The rain was falling lightly, pitter-pattering as it splashed on the ground, creating delicate water droplets and a soft whispering sound.
People were coming and going in the quarantine zone.
Most were guards swapping shifts and workers clearing accumulated water, rushing back and forth through the rain.
After several sudden downpours, the rainy season belonging to Happiness City, belonging to Stone Province, had finally arrived.
According to records from previous years, this rain would last at least from mid-July to early August, drizzling for half a month.
Once the rainbelt completely left and the weather cleared up again, the bountiful autumn would start to unfold slowly at the tail end of summer.
Night fell, just past seven o'clock.
The high pole lights at the center of the checkpoint lit up on time.
Like a lighthouse, the warm yellow light pierced through the fog, casting a hazy glow on the wet ground.
