Its fiber at x is Hn​(M,M∖{x};Z)≅Z. Transport changes its generator by the sign of local orientation along the path. For a connected nonorientable manifold, its degree-zero cohomology is zero, because no nonzero integer is invariant under sign reversal, whereas its degree-zero homology is Z/2, the coinvariants under that reversal.
