[The only way for people to survive on the surface was to take risks and fight those Winter Spawns, relying on the Winter Cores they'd dropped to attain the Winter Authority and become Envoys of Winter.]
[As long as a sufficiently powerful Winter Envoy gained enough Winter Authority, living on the surface wouldn't be impossible.]
[Unfortunately, only those who had killed a Winter Spawn in the third week would know about Winter Cores. In the major cities, the Winter Spawns in the second week didn't possess any Winter Cores.]
['Even then, they might not dare to eat a Winter Core. Only those who were either bold or dumb enough would be courageous to take a bite and consume a Winter Core.']
['Of course, those who are extremely hungry and might start hallucinating and see the Winter Core as food might be able to eat it. In short, humanity is at a disadvantage as they didn't know that Winter Spawns possess Winter Cores, and that eating Winter Cores would make one a Winter Envoy.']
