Old Lu asked Bai Shuang, "You said there was hail recently? How big was it?"

Bai Shuang: "How would I know? It's just speculation."

Unlike extreme cold or heat, hail does not have a clear dividing line that is easy to identify.

When Bai Shuang first saw the alarm from the jade pendant, she only saw a bluish cloud, which she guessed was hail. The timing was also a bit vague, and she could only guess that it was recent.

If we set up these tents, all the glass will be shattered by the hail. I wonder if these tents can even withstand the baptism?

The base has a limited number of tents, and they can't withstand much wear and tear.

Grandpa Lu asked Bai Shuang for the specific timeframe and learned that it would be within a week, so he immediately convened a high-level meeting.

They specifically summoned people from the engineering department to discuss the matter, because they are quite proficient in mechanics.

Some suggested moving back to the old base.

Of course, that's impossible.

We moved here because it was dangerous over there. Everyone has gone through a lot of hard work to finally settle down, so it's impossible to move back.

Finally, the engineering department suggested temporarily converting all the tents to pointed roofs with all four sides pointing vertically downwards. This would reduce the stress on the surface and prevent ice from accumulating on the top layer.

Then reinforce it with sheet metal on all four sides. If the hail isn't too big, it should be fine.

However, the base doesn't have enough sheet metal, only enough for half of the tents.

There was no other way but to squeeze in.

However, this made the already crowded tents even more crowded. In the sweltering heat, coupled with the lack of water for showering, the smell inside the tents was, needless to say, unbearable.

One day, Bai Shuang sent Bai Jiu and Bai Ji to deliver some ice to the tents of the Bai family's employees. When they returned, they told Bai Shuang, "Miss, there's a foul smell in the tents."

The two were once again glad they had followed Bai Shuang; otherwise, they might not have fared as well as those other people.

Fortunately, all work at the base was suspended, and since there was nowhere for everyone to sleep, they took turns sleeping in two shifts. One shift slept while the other shift stood.

Fortunately, each tent was equipped with an air conditioner fan, making it somewhat comfortable to stay in.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore and came out to stay at the tent entrance, but they didn't dare to go too far away so that they could quickly take shelter in the tent if it hailed.

No one dared to go too far away. It was only a week, and everyone gritted their teeth and got through it.

Taking advantage of the quiet of the night, Bai Shuang went out briefly with Lu Yu to retrieve their plane and vehicle.

Then, a high-spec RV belonging to a certain doctor was released.

What if the metal tent can't hold up?

Fortunately, everyone else was taking shelter from the hailstorm and no one came out. Moreover, the airport and parking lot were both within the control area of ​​Lu Yu's military camp.

Lu Yu: "This is such a nice RV, aren't you afraid it will get damaged by hail?"

"Buying a car is about serving people, and I believe in the features a car has."

This is a large RV. In addition to the six of us, we also brought my grandfather and his bodyguard.

The RV belongs to Bai Shuang privately; others can only envy it.

There are quite a few vehicles at the base, but they are not high-end models and can only withstand two centimeters of hail. It's better to stay in the tin tent.

They took out two high-spec SUVs and gave them to Uncle Li, Uncle Mai, and Mr. Wu's family to use, so that they could squeeze in together.

Young Master Zuo: "Wow! World-class, Bai Shuang, just how many more amazing things do you have?"

"If you keep chattering, you can't stay here anymore."

On the third day at noon, the sun was shining brightly, and no one expected that it would hail.

But it did rain, and not only did it rain, but the hailstones were as big as eggs. People who had left their tents, even if they hadn't gone far, were hit and covered in blood when they ran back.

Some were hit on the head and died instantly.

All Bai Shuang knew was that after the hailstorm stopped, the hospital had many more trauma patients.

The hail was large and dense, lasting for a full hour, until it finally stopped, leaving small craters in the ground and filled with lumps of ice.

Fortunately, the tin tent withstood the impact; although it was dented and battered, it was not completely punctured.

There weren't many people wandering around outside at the time.

As soon as the hail stopped, people rushed out to collect the hailstones with buckets and basins. The hailstones could both cool people down and replenish water, which was a resource that didn't cost any points.

Lately, everyone has been terrified of water shortages.

As for those who were injured or died, isn't death normal in the apocalypse? Everyone has become accustomed to it.

Afterwards, although Bai Shuang estimated that the hailstorm had passed, Grandpa Lu was still worried and asked everyone to continue to take shelter under the tin tent for another week before cleaning up.

Afterwards, Bai Shuang carefully inspected several cars. As expected of world-renowned brands with high-end features, there were almost no dents left on the cars.

We put away the two off-road vehicles, but since we've already taken them out, we'll keep the RV and continue living in it; it's much more comfortable than living in a tent.

However, only Bai Shuang, Fang Yu, and Xue Bao stayed there. After the hailstorm, Bai Jiu and the others went back to their original tents.

After all, a car is not like a house; it can get a bit crowded with too many people. They prefer to live in tents, which makes it more convenient for them to shower and sleep.

After the hailstorm, there were many injured people, and the overcrowded housing also caused many to fall ill from the heat. As a result, base hospitals and military hospitals were opened.

But there's one problem: a lack of medicine.

Anming and Doctor Ma had consulted Bai Shuang, but to no avail.

“I can give you some medicine if you need it yourself, but I really don’t have any for the military hospital.”

Without raw materials, a pharmaceutical factory can't operate.

Life at the new base is back on track, and Bai Shuang also needs to consider matters related to the plantation.

Otherwise, where would the hospital get its medicines? There needs to be at least an excuse.

As for the original plan to build cruise ships, that will have to wait until the ellipsoid is moved here and life is more stable.

The planting department negotiated terms with Bai Shuang.

The land was cleared by the base organizers, the greenhouses were the same as those at the old base, and the wells were also dug by the base.

The crops are planted by people organized by Baishuang, and the harvest is split equally between Baishuang and the base.

But Bai Shuang refused. If it were land before the disaster, it would be easy to arrange, but planting in the post-apocalyptic world is difficult and requires a lot of cooling costs.

Moreover, when she hires people, she will definitely provide them with meals, and she can't let them eat too poorly.

Because they were worried that the children wouldn't have enough to eat and wouldn't have the strength to work.

This would require a large amount of food, which is the most precious resource in the apocalypse.

If it weren't for the fact that there are cracks everywhere and the land is difficult to cultivate, and that Bai Shuang has to grow her own crops, who would want to cooperate with them?

Finally, an agreement was reached that future harvests would be taken from the investment made during the same season as Bai Shuang, and the profits would be split 40/60, with Bai Shuang receiving 60% and the base receiving 40%.

Bai Shuang was reluctant to agree, but Grandpa Lu said to her, "Girl, alright, just consider it helping everyone out."

Bai Shuang planted crops, and others who could afford to invest also wanted to plant them, especially the Yuwen family.

However, Bai Shuang controls the lifeline of medicinal herbs and must be given priority. The newly cleared land is also chosen by Bai Shuang first.

Others can plant it if they want, but the base will review their financial resources and qualifications. We've worked so hard to prepare this land, we can't just let you mess around with it.

Moreover, there are area restrictions, which many people complain about as unfair.
