Immediately afterwards, the "dong dong" sound began to ring continuously.

The people standing by the door were startled, and the two soldiers hurried forward:

"Professor Qing, please step back."

Qing Yuansi hurriedly pulled He Xiaobei and followed the two soldiers back a distance, and the door that could only accommodate one person was closed.

But before closing the gate, He Xiaobei saw a hailstone as big as a basketball, which hit the gate and made it shake.

To ensure their safety, the two soldiers communicated and brought them into a room.

He Xiaobei felt a little regretful about bringing the old man out to have fun. If something happened to her, she could hide in the space, but that was not the case with the old man. If she got killed, she would feel so guilty.

She originally thought that since he was stuck in the lab every day and she couldn't take him out of the base to see the scenery, it would be nice for him to come here and experience it briefly. However, she underestimated the natural disaster.

The collision sound lasted for about ten minutes, and suddenly a few dull rumbling sounds were heard, and the sound was very close.

The lighting facilities in the house flashed a few times, and Qing Yuansi's bodyguards rushed to his side in a protective gesture. He Xiaobei believed that if there was really danger, these two people would protect the old man under them without hesitation.

After a while, they saw that there were no other abnormalities, and then they asked the two soldiers:

"Go and ask what's going on."

The soldier quickly picked up the intercom and started communicating with the base. After a while, he heard the news. He turned around in shock:

"There's a part of the base that collapsed. It's the first area built, where Professor Qing and Miss Qing live. They say the largest hailstones were as big as truck tires."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the house broke out in cold sweats. He Xiaobei was stunned. Her house was smashed?

Lightning and Rabbit are still at home, and Yingying is even outside.

She stood up from the chair in a flash, and Qing Yuansi quickly pulled her back:

"What are you doing?"

He Xiaobei said anxiously:

"Old man, Lightning and the others are still at home."

"You can't go out now. Wait a moment. I'll go with you when the hail stops. Hail usually doesn't last too long. Wait a little longer. Be obedient."

He Xiaobei took a deep breath and sat down. He calmed himself down. The old man had said that the houses were very solid. Even if the top of the mountain collapsed and was buried, as long as they were inside the houses for a while, they would be fine.

Yingying is a tree. Plants have strong vitality and will definitely not die.

At this moment, Qin Yuan's video call came in. He Xiaobei directly pressed the reject button, but sent him a message to let him know that he was safe.

Ordinary hailstorms only last a few minutes, or at most ten minutes. However, hailstorms caused by extremely strong convective weather systems can last longer, and in some extreme cases, can last up to an hour.

This is an extremely extreme weather situation. The rumbling sound of hail lasted for a full hour before it stopped.

She turned her head to look at Qing Yuansi:

"Old man, I'll go back first. You stay here for a while. Make sure it's safe before leaving."

Qing Yuansi grabbed her with a worried look on his face, but then let go:

"Then go ahead and be careful. I won't go with you."

He actually wanted to go with He Xiaobei, but his body couldn't help much, and he might even cause trouble for her if something happened. Since he couldn't stop it, he didn't want to drag her down.

There were few pedestrians on the road. They were probably all scared back home by the loud noise.

He Xiaobei took Butler Qin away, drove the car himself, stepped on the accelerator, and drove smoothly all the way. He arrived near his home in six minutes.

The road and buildings ahead were all covered with rubble and debris. He Xiaobei looked up and saw that the top of the mountain where her house was located had collapsed by about one-third. The cold wind was howling inward, and occasionally rubble fell.

The place where He Xiaobei parked her car was not far from her residence and was not the place where the collapse started, so it did not seem too serious.

The base is already organizing a rescue. Positioning and rescue buttons are installed in the house. If you encounter danger, just press them and the base will carry out rescue according to the location.

However, it is not known whether the mountain may collapse again, so a warning tape has been set up here, and all survivors in the area have begun to be gradually evacuated. Only professional rescue teams are allowed to enter.
