—It was a residential building that should have been abandoned. The firelight shining from inside and the flickering shadows indicated that the building had been used as a temporary shelter. A sign hung on the doorknob, which was covered with a thick layer of ice:
[Exchange gold and diamonds for rice, flour, dried earthworms, cockroach chunks, and mosquito cakes.]
