Los Angeles, Long Beach Port.
Rows of cranes stand by the dockside, scattered containers lie on the vacant ground of the dock with their doors wide open, littered with discarded maritime goods. There are toys, bathtubs, home appliances, and even car parts.
The port is chaotic and desolate, the food and clothing at the loading area have been looted, leaving only bits and pieces of packaging bags blowing around in the sea breeze.
The roads leading to the port are blocked by heavily laden trucks, each compartment opened in order. Over the past year, countless people have come here scavenging for useful survival supplies.
Hundreds and thousands have also died here, leaving their remains in various corners of the port.
On the docks of the port and along the nearby coastline, hundreds of large cargo vessels are anchored. There are oil tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships.
These gigantic ships, measuring hundreds of meters, have all been visited by desperate crowds.
