Time flew, and winter arrived quickly, with this year's temperatures noticeably lower than in previous years.
Fortunately, they had made some preparations this time, with ample food and enough materials to keep warm.
To save time, the construction of the base hadn't stopped; thankfully, the exterior was almost complete.

Throughout the winter, the beastmen stayed busy, diligently constructing the base to ensure they had a refuge when the Ice Age came.
After a busy winter, spring arrived, and the beastmen began a new year of cultivation. With last year's experience, they were noticeably more skilled and sowed and plowed in an orderly fashion.
