"careful."
Fu Xiaxia looked at the scene and spoke nervously.
Fang Qingxun was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the wall. The hailstones slid past the brim of his helmet and hit the glass door of the kitchen.
Bang!
Several deep cracks appeared in the glass door, and a cold wind whistled through it. Jiang Li quickly took out a coat from his spatial storage and put it on.
"Holy crap, heart hail is terrifying."
Fang Qingxun patted his chest and said that if he had been any slower in dodging, he might have been in serious trouble. Luckily, he had worn a helmet just in case.
"We still need to be careful."
Shi Lin spoke up, and Fang Qingxun didn't argue with him this time, but just nodded.
Jiang Li took out a thermometer and measured the temperature; it had already dropped to 5℃. The temperature had dropped sharply, so Jiang Li put on another sweater, and everyone else put on coats as well.
It would be too dangerous to block the glass now. Luckily, the tent provides some shelter from the wind, otherwise it would probably be even colder.
Before the group had even returned to their tent, the sound of things being thrown and smashed suddenly rang out, continuing and rumbling outside.
The group tensed up and looked out the living room window at the world outside.
A dark, ominous cloud hung in the sky as a massive ice ball plummeted straight down, its sound almost drowning out everything else. It crashed to the ground, leaving a crater.
With that force and that size, you can imagine what the consequences would be if it hit a person. These hailstones are getting bigger and bigger, they're no longer even worthy of being called hailstones. However, not all hailstones are this big; there are also small ones.
The big tree opposite the villa was ravaged by hail. Leaves and branches were knocked to the ground, and soon the lush tree was reduced to a bare trunk.
As the large hailstones pelted down, the temperature began to drop again, and Jiang Li, wearing a sweater, couldn't help but shiver.
Fu Xiaxia was also shivering, her face pale from the cold.
Gu Jin protected Jiang Li and then addressed everyone.
"Hurry back and change your clothes!"
The group returned to their tent and changed into warmer clothes. After they were changed, Jiang Li took out a stove and lit it.
"Come quick, come quick, the stove is ready."
The temperature in the corridor was gradually rising, while the cries outside grew louder. Many people, even those hiding in their rooms, could not escape the hailstorm.
Not everyone had food stored up, so they could only hope to find it outside. But reality was cruel; many people were killed on the street by the hailstones, their blood flowing everywhere, turning the hailstones into bright red blood balls.
In many places, power lines were also broken, causing electrical leaks and resulting in even more serious consequences, with some people dying and others seriously injured.
The power has been cut off at the base, but thankfully it's still daytime.
The cries and the sounds of smashing blended together, forming the most common melody of the apocalypse.
despair.
On the other hand, Jiang Li and his group took out a hot pot to eat. Sure enough, hot pot is the best thing to eat when the weather is cold. At this time, they don't have to worry about smells. With the wind so strong, the smell will immediately dissipate into the air. Even if people smell it, they won't know where it is coming from and won't risk coming out to look for it at this time.
The group ate a spicy hot pot, with hot water bubbling out. Everyone was sweating a little from their noses, but they all enjoyed it very much.
Outside, a light rain accompanied by hail fell, and the ground had begun to freeze. The rivers in the base were also frozen solid.
Most vehicles and other means of transportation were frozen to the ground, rendering them essentially unusable, and many more were destroyed by hail.
"I wonder how long this hail will last."
Fu Xiaxia said, listening to the commotion outside.
"If it keeps raining, I'm afraid this house won't be able to hold up."
Shi Lin spoke up.
"Yes, they don't even know how many holes there are up there."
Shi Yuan looked up at the direction of the building. They had heard the sounds many times before, and they guessed that the roof had been smashed open.
"We'll have to wait and see. If we have no other choice, we'll have to move."
Gu Jin was also worried about this situation, and didn't know if it would get worse.
“I do have iron gates or something similar in my space that can provide some protection, but with such large hailstones, even iron gates would have a hard time getting through. It’s very likely that the iron gates would be smashed.”
Jiang Li explained his thoughts: relocation might not be easy, as the hailstones were falling too quickly.
The group fell silent after hearing Jiang Li's words. Indeed, it would be difficult to move under such circumstances. They could easily be vandalized, and if their house was damaged, the others would certainly be in no better shape.
"Oh, don't overthink it. Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe the outcome won't be as bad as we think."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Fang Qingxun spoke up.
A few hours later, officials operated a drone with a loudspeaker attached to it, broadcasting announcements throughout the base.
The gist of the message is that the entrance to the dungeon has been opened, but due to the hailstorm, the base doesn't have enough people to escort everyone. So, everyone is to find their own way in. Those who have no other choice can wait for official rescue, but the timeframe is uncertain.
Many people, upon hearing this news, wanted to seek refuge in the underground city, but they often perished on the way, and very few managed to arrive safely; it all depended on luck.
So gradually, many people gave up the idea of going to the dungeon.
"Are we going to the underground city?"
Fang Qingxun asked everyone when he heard the news.
"I think we should wait and see."
Shi Yuan said.
"I also suggest we take another look, and I have a bad feeling about this."
