Chapter 157 Exclusively published on Jinjiang Literature City: The Final Challenge of the Rainy Season (Minor Revisions)
"Hahaha, we now have two superhumans in our family, and they're even special types! Honey, you're amazing!"
Xiong Mao, oblivious to everyone else, picked up Su Ying and spun her around, then excitedly kissed her several times.
Su Ying said reproachfully, "Oh dear, put me down quickly, everyone's watching." Although she said this, her face clearly showed a smug smile.
The surrounding villagers simply couldn't bear to look at this shameless couple.
Xiong Da Bao, feeling somewhat superfluous in his parents' love story, pouted, wanting to cry! QAQ!
The second batch of people who took the evolution fluid had already finished their turn; Jiang Fan and Su Ying were actually in the third batch.
Both of them gave priority to their own children for the second batch of opportunities, but unexpectedly, neither Wei Yunyun nor Xiong Dabao awakened.
Wei Yunyun was alright, but Xiong Dabao, who longed to gain superpowers as powerful as Zhang Dafu, was heartbroken and cried bitterly.
It was only after Xiong Mao exchanged a tranquilizer gun with Lu Xuan, and Lu Chen also promised to teach him target practice, that he was finally able to appease the man.
Seeing that his mother had obtained the special ability he had always dreamed of, the chubby boy couldn't hold back anymore.
Unfortunately, the couple, busy with their happy moments, had no time to pay attention to his little mood.
Compared to Xiong Mao and Su Ying, Wei Xiang and Jiang Fan's reactions were much more restrained. The couple simply held hands quietly, their excitement barely contained, and smiled silently.
Lu Xuan was also in a good mood.
During this period, many new superpowered individuals have appeared in the village. Among them, he is quite familiar with Li Tuo, who has obtained fire-type superpowers, Wu Cheng, who has enhanced superpowers, and Xu Wenze, who has wood-type superpowers.
Others obtained metal, earth, and ice elemental attributes. Of course, physical enhancement attributes still account for a large proportion, including strength enhancement, speed enhancement, and there's also a middle-aged man with flexibility enhancement... well, let's skip that one.
While families with new superpowered individuals were overjoyed, Lu Xuan, who hadn't acquired a new superpower in over a month, was somewhat disappointed and even wondered if Mei Cheng and Zhang Dafu would become a thing of the past.
Unexpectedly, when he had given up all hope, he received a double surprise.
Lu Xuan glanced at Su Ying more than once, a rare occurrence for him.
"Alright, put me down. We need to get down to business." Su Ying patted Xiong Mao's shoulder, her tone becoming a little more serious.
Upon recognizing that Xiong Mao was serious, he immediately obeyed and put the person down.
Su Ying, now back on the ground, straightened her slightly disheveled dress and gracefully walked towards Lu Xuan.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan followed.
What is the important thing?
Naturally, Lu Xuan would copy their special abilities and waive the 5,000 jin fee.
Lu Xuan first shook hands with Jiang Fan to suppress his supernatural abilities, then lightly touched Su Ying's shoulder.
Su Ying said with a charming smile, "Why don't you shake my hand? I don't mind holding your hand."
Xiong Mao: "!!" I'm still here.
If you're going to flirt with a man, at least pick a time when I'm not around!
Lu Xuan sensed the invisible energy coming towards him, his brow twitched, and he casually used his newly acquired superpower to 'fight' it back, adding a command to it as well.
Su Ying's body stiffened slightly, and she couldn't help but turn around. Then, like a butterfly, she ran into Xiong Mao's arms and gave him a sweet kiss.
Xiong Mao's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to kiss her back, but discontent immediately arose from the crowd who saw through his intention.
"That's enough, why are you two still being so affectionate? If you want to kiss, go inside."
Having regained control of her body, Su Ying pushed away Xiong Mao, who was pouting, and stomped her feet angrily at Lu Xuan, saying, "You just got my superpower and you're already using it against me, Lu Xuan, that's a bit unfair of you."
Lu Xuan said coolly, "Likewise."
It was Su Ying who first tried to hypnotize him.
Xiong Mao grabbed Su Ying's hand and coaxed, "Wife, if he doesn't like you, just ignore him. Come on, control me. If you want me to take off my clothes, I'll take them off for you. I promise I won't say a word!"
Su Ying slapped his muscular chest in annoyance and snorted, "Don't I know how many hairs you have? I'm tired of looking at you."
Li Tie, unable to bear it any longer, said, "Alright, stop making a scene! Su Ying, you better behave yourself!"
Su Ying shut her mouth in annoyance.
Compared to Su Ying, Jiang Fan was much more honest. After Lu Xuan finished restoring her superpowers and waiving her debts, she and Wei Xiang's daughter went straight back to their room.
Once everyone was out of sight, he took Wei Xiang's hand and said, "This ability came at just the right time. From now on, if you get tired from working or get injured while hunting, I can use my special ability to relieve your pain."
Wei Xiang said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you, my husband."
Jiang Fan's special ability is painlessness, which can eliminate the pain of herself or others.
The newly awakened level certainly cannot erase the pain of serious injuries, but it can relieve back pain or minor injuries, and prevent Wei Xiang from feeling any pain.
It can be said that both painlessness and hypnosis are quite practical superpowers.
Not only were they satisfied, but Lu Xuan was also satisfied, and the audience was so envious they were crawling around in darkness, their faces contorted with envy.
[I seriously suspect this streamer must have saved the world in their past life to be given such a huge cheat code in this one!]
How can there be such a huge difference between people!
Compared to the streamer, do I look like a complete loser?
"With so many superpowers, why not give me one? I don't ask for much, just give me the gravity ability."
【Then I want to cure my superpowers!】
I like hypnotic abilities.
[The ability to be painless is so awesome! I'm terrified of pain, and with that ability, I won't cry in pain during fights and get laughed at by my rivals.]
[...As if you're actually going to get a share.]
【I'm different. I only ever want the same copying ability as the streamer.】
You're the greediest of all!!!
On the bright side, the villagers have almost finished their turn, and the streamer has more and more evolution fluids left, so our chances of getting it should increase significantly, right?
[Hehe, do you think the streamer will stop here and leave all the evolution fluid to us, or will he try to expand his trading scope and continue to look for other targets that can grant him new superpowers?]
【！！！】
Lu Xuan smiled silently, thinking, "There are still viewers who understand me."
However, it's not good to give them no chance at all.
Lu Xuan took the initiative to say, "Once everyone in the village has finished taking the evolution fluid, the number of evolution fluids available for the lottery will increase from three to five."
【Two bottles aren't enough! Add more! Ten or even fifteen at a time!】
Why don't you just say you'll take them all?
Lu Xuan: "5 sticks, that's all."
After saying that, he ignored their complaints and prepared to familiarize himself with his new abilities.
To test the ability to be painless, one must first experience pain.
Lu Xuan's first reaction was to stab himself again.
Before she could even make a move, Lu Qing punched his shoulder hard.
Lu Qing said angrily, "Don't do anything reckless! Are you trying to drive me crazy? There are so many cattle and sheep in the warehouse. If all else fails, just grab any prey outside and try it. Why do you have to hurt yourself?"
Lei Yan also said, "Your sister is right. Even if you have healing abilities, you can't be so careless with yourself."
Lu Chen, Lu Chen is in class, otherwise he would definitely hug Lu Xuan and cry in front of him.
Lu Xuan didn't necessarily want to torture himself; he just felt that this method was the most convenient.
Seeing their objections, he readily abandoned the idea and went to the warehouse, where he selected the strongest and most troublesome bull from the cattle pen.
This cow eats and drinks well every day but doesn't produce milk, and it's always working up a lot of energy. It's a good opportunity for it to contribute to the cow's milk production.
After unleashing his painless ability on the bull, Lu Xuan waved his hand, and dozens of wind blades swept across simultaneously, instantly cutting many deep and shallow wounds on the bull's body.
Some of the wounds were so deep that the white bone inside was exposed, and cow blood quickly flowed into a pool on the ground.
Let's see how the bulls react.
The cow continued to eat its feed leisurely as if nothing had happened, and even looked at him with a strange expression.
Bull: What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a cow eat before?
"..."
Lu Xuan casually used his healing ability to heal all the wounds, then opened the cow's mouth and stuffed in a blood-replenishing potion and a mutated fruit as a reward.
The bull, who was about to struggle, tasted the mutated fruit and its already large eyes instantly grew even larger. It excitedly stuck out its tongue to lick the fruit.
Lu Xuan quickly retreated, turned around and whipped the bull to the cow's side, then turned and left the warehouse quickly.
Forget it, there's no need to test for the painless ability; just knowing it's useful is enough.
In the end, the only one that was seriously tested was hypnotic ability.
Lu Xuan was reluctant to use other people for experiments, so Lei Yan and Lu Qing volunteered to be his test subjects.
Lu Qing said, "Try it however you want, just use us as a test subject, don't be shy."
Just then, Lu Chen ran back after class and quickly raised his hand, saying, "I can help too."
Lu Xuan did not refuse their kindness and immediately began the test.
At first, they were hypnotized with simple commands such as sit down, stand up, or spin around in place. Later, more complex commands were added.
For example, having Lei Yan carry Lu Qing in a princess-like embrace and do frog jumps, or having Lu Chen use his gravity powers to lift Lei Yan up and spin him in the air...
The three of them: "..."
Initially, they conducted experiments while simultaneously monitoring the depletion of their superpowers.
Hmm... with his reserves of supernatural abilities, hypnotizing hundreds of people at the same time shouldn't be difficult.
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment, then had a new idea and said to Lei Yan, "Slap Lu Qing."
Lei Yan: "???"
Lu Qing and Lu Chen: "!!!"
Live stream viewers: Oh my god! Streamer, you're playing with fire!
All eyes turned to Lei Yan, whose expression had changed drastically.
However, Lei Yan, who was under hypnosis, did not act immediately this time, but instead showed obvious resistance in his eyes.
Even though his arm kept swinging uncontrollably upwards, with clearly visible blue veins on his bulging arm muscles, he gritted his teeth and didn't swing it down, only cold sweat kept seeping from his forehead.
Seeing that Lei Yan's lips were almost bitten through, and Lu Qing's gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous, Lu Xuan then casually lifted the hypnotic command.
Having regained control of his body, Lei Yan quickly lowered his hand, breathing heavily, and looked up at Lu Xuan with a mixture of reproach and helplessness in his eyes.
Lu Xuan shrugged, then tried a few more hypnotic commands and gained a basic understanding of the characteristics of hypnotic abilities.
Hypnotic abilities can be used in two ways.
One method preserves the hypnotized person's own will, only hypnotizing their body. The person can still think, but cannot control their body, somewhat like a control-type superpower.
Another method involves hypnotizing the subject's consciousness, causing them to unconsciously complete hypnotic commands, and they will completely forget what they did during the hypnosis process after waking up.
In the former case, because the will is still intact, once the hypnotic command goes against the will of the person, the resistance situation that Lei Yan had before will occur. The power of the hypnotized person and the controller wears down each other, causing the controller's consumption to increase exponentially.
If Lei Yan's ability level or willpower is strong enough to exhaust Lu Xuan, he might be able to break through the hypnosis.
Well, that possibility is basically impossible in this lifetime.
During the test, Lu Xuan only used a little bit of his strength. If he had used all his level seven abilities, Lei Yan would have had no choice but to swing his hand down, no matter how much he resisted.
Of course, even if Lu Xuan swung his sword, he wouldn't actually let him touch a single hair on Lu Qing's head.
In addition, regardless of the method of use, there is a 'casting range'. With Lu Xuan's ability, he can easily hypnotize within 100 meters. Beyond 100 meters, the consumption will be greater, and the further away, the greater the consumption. The specific upper limit is still uncertain.
Hypnotic abilities are terrifying!
If it were me, I would never get within 100 meters of a streamer, even if you paid me.
Are the villagers also worried that they might be controlled and afraid of the streamer?
Would you be more afraid of a beast that already has enough teeth to kill you in one bite, even if it has a few more? Whether its teeth are longer or not, it could easily kill you anyway.
On another note, it seems that none of the special ability users who awakened in Yunlu Village are offensive.
Special types are predominantly support-oriented; time management, healing, and hypnosis are all far superior to pure combat types.
Who knows, maybe the next special type will be a combat type?
...
That evening, the Lu family's dinner was more sparse than ever before.
To be precise, everyone else's were very rich, but Lu Xuan's were very simple.
Lei Yan and Lu Chen both had hand-pulled noodles piled high with various meat and vegetable toppings and sauces, while Lu Xuan's dinner consisted of only a bowl of plain white rice porridge without any toppings and a small dish of tofu with scallions.
The viewers in the live stream burst out laughing.
[Hahaha—you tried to tease your brother-in-law, and now your sister's got you!]
[Well done, sister! That's how you teach that jerk of a streamer a lesson!]
Lu Xuan: "...If I don't eat well, you won't get anything to eat either, so what's there to be happy about?"
Audience: ...
That's right!
[I don't care! It's so satisfying to see streamers get their comeuppance!]
[That's right! You can eat delicious food anytime, but this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the streamer get punished, so I have to call my friends over to watch together.]
[It's already been shared on Xingbo, you're welcome, host.]
Lu Xuan noticed that the number of online users had indeed increased faster than when he obtained the new special type again, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
He'd be overjoyed at such a free benefit; who would be furious? Not a chance.
Lu Xuan casually picked up the porridge and started drinking.
Even in the apocalypse, white rice porridge is a rare delicacy, so it's hardly a punishment for him. At most, the portion will be smaller, and he can just take a few nutritional supplements after returning to his room.
In the end, Lu Qing softened and took more of the same noodles as the others, as well as several dishes that Lu Xuan liked.
Despite the commotion, we still can't let his younger brother go hungry.
...
After dinner, Lu Xuan asked Lu Qing to call Su Ying to ask about the range of her special ability.
Su Ying said, "I can only control people within a one-meter radius. Right now, I've hypnotized my Xiong Mao, and he's pretending to be a puppy so I can ride him. Hahaha, this ability is pretty good, I like it."
Lu Qing: "..." I don't want to know about your private affairs.
Lu Xuan and the audience, who were listening in, also heard Xiong Mao make a "woof" sound on the other end of the communicator, and their expressions became subtle.
I feel sorry for Xiong Mao; how did he end up with such a wife?
[Those who express sympathy are probably single people.]
[What's there to pity about riding on his wife's back? She's eating so well; Xiong Mao is probably feeling pretty good about it right now.]
[Tsk tsk, Su Ying really knows how to have fun.]
I never imagined that ancient people would go to such lengths.
"You're so naive. Ancient people had far more ingenious techniques than we do now."
So, did we accidentally become part of their play?
Lu Xuan: "..."
·
After more than a month of growth, the first batch of chicks in the warehouse have finally grown to the point where they can be released from their coop.
The villagers also noticed the unusually rapid growth and learned about Lu Xuan's role in it.
Grandma Lin slapped her thigh and said, "So, the reason why the chickens laid several times more eggs in one night was because Lu Xuan used his special ability on those adult chickens? Why didn't he say that? He made us all guess wildly."
Lu Qing explained, "At the time, Ah Xuan wasn't sure how far his time-manipulation ability could go, so he wanted to observe it more."
The others thought it made some sense.
Grandma Lin didn't dwell on the issue. She just looked at the large flock of clucking chickens in the coop and the basket of eggs she had just collected, and couldn't stop smiling.
"I was worried before because the chicks hatched from these wild eggs grow slower than domestic chicks. They probably wouldn't grow big in less than half a year. But now it's great. The time skill can actually be used on the chicks. They've started laying eggs in just half a year."
The other women were also very happy.
The first batch of chicks numbered 120. Some were fertilized eggs found in the wild, while others were laid after the chickens were raised. The incubation time difference was no more than half a month.
Now these chicks are all laying eggs! Aside from the roosters that can't lay eggs, the number of eggs they can get every day has increased from about twenty to seventy or eighty!
"That's not all."
Miao Jinfeng beamed: "The second and third batches of chicks have also hatched, totaling more than 200. When spring comes tomorrow, we should be able to collect more than 200 eggs a day."
Aunt Chen said with a regretful look, "If it weren't for the fact that it's the rainy season and there are fewer intact eggs available, and some eggs are still unfertilized, we wouldn't have only managed to get a mere 200 eggs in two batches."
Aunt Zhang laughed and said, "That's quite a lot. We won't have to worry about not having enough eggs to go around anymore."
Aunt Liu beamed with joy: "I've been wanting to make some salted eggs like the Lu family for a long time. They're so delicious with porridge!"
Aunt Sun then thought of another problem: "With so many chickens, will the warehouse be able to accommodate them all?"
Miao Jinfeng waved her hand and said, "We're only raising a small amount now. There are still plenty of empty warehouses on the cargo ship. Even several times more would be enough to hold them all."
After saying that, he added, "No, the floodwaters are almost completely receding. Once the floodwaters are gone, there are plenty of open spaces nearby, so we can build chicken coops of any size we want."
The women exclaimed in unison, "How wonderful!"
While the village chief and most of the able-bodied men and women were happy, only a few intelligent people couldn't help but have a question in their minds.
Since time manipulation can be used on chickens, can it also be used on humans?
What effect will it have on people?
Noticing the gazes of the Wu family father and son and Ge Yuan, Lu Xuan looked over indifferently.
After a moment of staring at each other, Wu Cheng and his two companions were the first to look away.
Never mind, whatever its purpose, Lu Xuan won't harm them in the end.
Whether a capability is dangerous depends on who uses it and how it is used.
Wouldn't it be great to accelerate the growth of chicks and increase egg production like this?
Zhang Chengming even suggested that Dafu stop holding the ginger and start holding the chicks instead.
Zhang Dafu imagined what it would be like for a chick to poop in his arms, and shook his head in horror, refusing the idea.
No, no, no, he thought hugging ginger was nice.
Seeing his strong resistance, Zhang Chengming could only regretfully give up.
Zhang Dafu breathed a huge sigh of relief, having survived the ordeal.
·
On the fifth day after the rain stopped, when the floodwaters were less than a meter deep, the whole village mobilized and enthusiastically scooped up thousands of kilograms of fish from the surrounding waters.
The next day, the floodwaters receded completely, and everyone seized the last opportunity to pick up the fish that hadn't died yet, ultimately reaping even more than the day before.
After the fish were collected, all that remained on the plain was a scene of devastation.
Everywhere there were broken branches and rotten vines that seemed to have come from nowhere, and occasionally you could see the remains of some kind of animal emitting a foul odor.
At this time, the outdoor temperature had risen from 10 degrees to 25 degrees.
Without the flood, the three ships inevitably ran aground, and the floating bridge, wave-making boat, and seaplane have all been put away to be reused at a later opportunity.
The villagers left the No. 2 ship where they had lived for more than two months and moved the makeshift shelter back to the plain next to the hills for temporary residence. The Lu family moved back to their villa safe house.
The day after the grain was moved back to the ground, the second batch was harvested.
The types of grains planted this time are somewhat different from last time. The biggest difference is that each family has planted a certain amount of mutated yams.
The final output was slightly higher than the previous one.
After the harvest was completed and the grain was distributed according to the rules, the weather changed again, and the group faced the final challenge of the rainy season—a thunderstorm.
·
The mobile shelters did not have lightning protection, and the villagers, who had just enjoyed a few days of home life, were forced to move into the extra safe houses that Lu Xuan had provided.
Miao Jinfeng stood by the French windows, staring in horror at the countless bolts of lightning striking the mountain and the ground, carving deep trenches into the earth, a scene resembling the end of the world. She clutched her chest and groaned in terror.
"This looks terrifying. So many lightning bolts. If you were struck by one, you'd probably die on the spot."
Wu Yinyin was also panicked, grabbing Zhang Chengming's arm tightly and asking, "Is the safe house really safe? What if we get struck by lightning too?"
Zhang Chengming patted her arm, "Didn't Ah Xuan say you could rest assured?"
Although some of the younger children in the village couldn't hear the commotion outside, they were still frightened by the scene, their eyes turning red and some even crying softly.
In the villa next door, Lu Xuan, who was also watching the thunderstorm with his family, heard the panicked questions and the sobbing of a child coming through the communicator. He said calmly, "Don't worry, all safe houses are equipped with lightning rods. Even if a thunderstorm strikes, it won't damage the safe house."
Lightning rods attract lightning and direct it directly to the ground.
Li Tie asked worriedly, "What about the fields...? And the lotus pond?"
Lu Xuan: "What do you think the support rods for the rainproof cloth are?"
Li Tie thought of the lightning rod he had just mentioned, "Could it be..."
Lu Xuan said, "The necessary preparations have already been made, so you don't need to worry. I've also installed lightning rods in the lotus pond in advance."
This time, it won't be like the last hailstorm that caused the car to overturn.
One mistake is enough; making it too often would make him seem stupid.
However, despite being told that everything was safe, the villagers weren't so carefree as to ignore the disaster outside and continue eating and drinking as usual.
They watched in terror as lightning continued to strike outside, accompanied by the rain that had stopped, and even hail.
The thunderstorm started in the evening, and night fell shortly afterward.
Lightning, which was neither clearly purple nor white, occasionally shone into the unlit safe house, illuminating the terrified faces of the villagers. Those who were not prepared were startled and immediately jumped in fright.
That's terrifying!
The villagers immediately dared not look around anymore, and stared straight ahead.
My heartbeat has been erratic ever since the thunderstorm started; it's been pounding and racing, thump, thump, thump-thump-thump... as if it's about to jump out of my chest at any moment.
Some timid elderly people and women, and even young adults, couldn't help but leave the window and return to their rooms after watching for a while, and even made a point of drawing the curtains.
The safe house is very soundproof; as long as the blackout curtains are drawn, the people inside won't feel anything.
But there is also a fear of not being able to feel anything.
After all, if they can't see it, they can fill in the blanks with their imagination, and what they imagine is often more terrifying than reality.
Finally, having no other choice, I had to get up again and open the curtains.
After watching for a while, I got scared and quickly covered it up again.
They kept looking, blocked again, and there was never a moment of peace.
Only a very small number of people are so bold that after watching the thunderstorm, feeling they have gained some knowledge, they swagger back to sleep.
What nonsense! All this worrying and overthinking? It's completely unfounded.
Isn't it nice to sleep with your wife in your arms? Who cares what's happening outside?
Here, Xiong Mao is specifically mentioned.
Unlike the panicked villagers, Lu Xuan was never afraid from the beginning.
He even enthusiastically told his family ghost stories to match the scary atmosphere.
The Lu family: ? ? ?
audience:? ? ?
Lu Xuan told very classic stories with gripping plots, and the two groups quickly forgot their fear and listened attentively to the stories.
Occasionally, when I hear something scary, I unconsciously hold my breath and widen my eyes.
The refresh rate of the live stream comments also slowed down significantly.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan didn't remember many stories, and he finished telling them in no time.
The Lu family members were still savoring the moment, but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The story is catchy, but it's also genuinely scary.
It's better that it's gone, otherwise they would be really afraid of not being able to sleep at night, always thinking that there might be something under the bed or eyes peeking through the crack in the door.
Seeing that their attention had been completely diverted, Lu Xuan stopped trying to come up with a new story and became interested in the thunderstorm outside.
For example, can a single-person energy shield withstand being struck by lightning?
He asked the audience, "The system's description says the protective shield can withstand attacks from mech energy weapons. How does the power of this energy weapon compare to a thunderstorm?"
Live stream viewers: ???
What are you thinking! There's no comparison at all!
[Streamer, don't be reckless! If you actually dare to go out wearing this protective shield, it'll burst and you'll be dead in no time!]
[Not necessarily. The streamer is a level seven ability user; maybe he doesn't need to worry about thunderstorms even without a protective shield...?]
Why don't you give it a try, streamer?
Lu Xuan: "..."
"Ah Xuan?" Noticing Lu Xuan's somewhat speechless expression, Lu Qing turned her head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xuan casually replied, "Nothing, I was just wondering if I should go out for a walk."
Lu Qing nodded: "Oh, so you wanted to go out for a walk... What!? You want to go out for a walk—!?"
Lei Yan and Lu Chen, who were focused on watching the thunderstorm, suddenly turned their heads. Lei Yan even slightly twisted his neck due to the sudden movement, but he still tilted his head and looked at Lu Xuan incredulously.
Are you crazy? Why would someone want to go out during a natural disaster like this?
Even Lu Chen, who always admired Lu Xuan, couldn't help but have a rebellious thought: Is my brother going to die?
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I was just joking."
Lu Qing was amused by his words. "Is it that funny?"
Lu Xuan: "...Not funny."
"Then why did you say that!" Lu Qing stared at Lu Xuan suspiciously for a while. "You don't actually want to go out, do you?"
Lu Xuan: "Really not."
Seeing that Lu Qing still looked suspicious, Lu Xuan repeatedly assured and promised to dissuade her from trying to sleep on the floor in his room to spy on him.
Lu Xuan was not lying to Lu Qing; he really had no intention of going out.
Because professionals had already provided the comparative data he needed in the comments section.
Thunderstorms don't actually require professionals; anyone with a little common sense knows that lightning can have a voltage of up to 100 million volts.
This is just the voltage of a single lightning bolt. I can't even imagine how many volts a thunderstorm, a catastrophe involving hundreds or thousands of lightning strikes, can reach.
What is the safe voltage for the human body? Only 36 :)
Even if a superhuman is much stronger than an ordinary person, even if they are a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times stronger, it would only amount to a little over 300,000 volts, which is not even a fraction of the power of lightning.
According to the data analysis by the AI, the average strength of a level 7 superhuman can only be converted into 100,000 volts of lightning energy.
Actually, it's not low. The most powerful mecha energy weapon is only 80,000 volts, which is also the limit of the shield's protection.
The shield is not only unable to withstand thunderstorms, but it may not even be able to stop his attacks.
Lu Xuan: So, in the end, external things can't compare to relying on oneself?
...
The thunderstorms did not last long, only five days.
After confirming with Lu Xuan that the thunderstorm had passed, the hunting and gathering teams, who had been restless and anxious for five days, set off up the mountain with high spirits.
Where are we going? To gather supplies, of course!
Because thunderstorms are accompanied by rain, although many trees on the mountain were struck dead, no wildfires occurred. However, the result of lightning strikes combined with rain was not much different from that of wildfires.
Charcoal and chopped-up prey were everywhere.
So what if the thunderstorm was scary? In the end, we still delivered supplies to them!
Even though the temperature plummeted from over 20 degrees Celsius to zero in just five days, and you could see their breath when they spoke, it didn't dampen their enthusiasm for collecting supplies at all.
The audience was deeply moved:
For the villagers, aside from a few days of fear, the thunderstorm that brought them a large amount of free supplies posed absolutely no danger.
[Thunderstorm: Five days of thunderstorms and nothing happened.]
[It wasn't entirely for nothing; only the people of Yunlu Village were safe thanks to the streamer, but for other disaster victims, it was probably more dangerous than the extreme heat and torrential rain.]
"Of course! Even a single hour of chopping would have been the end of the world for ancient people, let alone five days of continuous chopping."
[I wonder how many more people have been killed in the streamer's world these past five days. Sigh.]
This is just the beginning; the end of the thunderstorms probably means the next natural disaster is about to begin.
Just as the comment was posted, a gasp came from the women who were busily collecting charcoal.
"It's snowing!"
Lu Xuan, who was with the hunting team, heard the sound and felt a chill on the back of his hand. He looked over and saw the white snowflakes that hadn't melted yet.
Looking up at the sky, I saw that more and more large snowflakes were indeed falling.
Lu Xuan murmured, "It really did snow."
This also indicates that the coldest season is coming.
