[Warning, the fourth disaster, thunderstorm and hurricane are impending! Warning, the fourth disaster, thunderstorm and hurricane are impending!]
[This disaster will last for 12 hours!]
[The hurricane will gradually increase from level five to level one, and the density and intensity of the thunderstorm will also upgrade simultaneously!]
[Massive hurricane clusters will appear everywhere, once caught outside, survival is impossible!]
[All Secret Realms will temporarily close, those left inside will be forcibly ejected! Refresh after disaster ends!]
[More system functions will be unlocked after this disaster!]
[Wishing everyone to overcome this challenge!]
[The next disaster alert will be issued in 72 hours!]
The warning announcement on the system panel was extremely glaring.
At the same time, Lin Yue already felt the sounds of wind and rain, and the roaring of thunder outside had grown louder.
Lying on the sofa, Lin Yue wasn’t asleep.
Bai and the others were sleeping soundly, and streaks of lightning flashed into the room from the direction of the window, dazzling bright.
Lin Yue went over again and directly used a plank wall to cover that window.
Luckily, he hadn’t made too many windows earlier, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.
Lin Yue returned to the sofa once more, pondering deeply.
For some unknown reason, he wasn’t sleepy at all now, perhaps because he had lain in the Ice Lizard Cave for too long earlier.
"How are the people at the other shelters?"
The weather outside was extremely bad. If every shelter had a lightning rod and a sturdy structure, then it wouldn’t be difficult to weather this disaster.
Speaking of this disaster, after experiencing it firsthand, Lin Yue had a new understanding.
This disaster, is it frightening?
A level-five hurricane can destroy all flimsy buildings and even send heavy objects like cars into the sky.
At the same time, it can bring an immense amount of rainfall.
The thunderstorm has indeed become the main act of this disaster, unleashing endless electricity across the entire Otherworld.
Howling winds, torrential rain, rampant lightning...
Yet, thinking about it, it doesn’t seem so frightening.
Isn’t this just an extreme weather event?
Although the hurricane is terrifying, if it’s not a wooden shelter, it can be easily survived.
A stone shelter won’t be easily whisked away into the sky, and if one has a wooden shelter, creating an underground shelter in advance and placing important items underground - even if the hurricane hits level five and takes away the shelter, as long as underground waterproofing is done well, surviving this hurricane is practically no problem.
The same goes for thunderstorms.
Anyway, as long as the thunderstorm doesn’t strike something directly, there’s no need to be overly fearful. Additionally, if there’s a lightning rod, it would make things simpler.
Unless the shelter is made of iron.
Creating a Faraday cage would be overdoing it.
As for the torrential rain brought by the hurricane, Lin Yue looked now and found it wasn’t particularly severe, just large raindrops.
Flooding seemingly was only about ten centimeters deep at most.
The system had mentioned the disaster would last for twelve hours, a time span that isn’t terribly long.
To Lin Yue, as long as others follow his previous "disaster resistance strategy" to counter this disaster, surviving it should be relatively trouble-free.
Of course, if someone has a better method, that would be ideal.
Lin Yue opened the system panel.
He looked towards the group.
Inside, it was bustling, excessively so.
Lin Yue glanced at the top right corner, where the figure displayed was 91225 people.
The number hadn’t decreased much from the last time he saw it.
He stared at the number for a while and found there was almost no downward trend.
Apparently, the disaster generated by the system this time had little effect in this group.
He checked the world channel.
There was almost no information resembling "Help," with everyone casually chatting about random topics as if the disaster had never started or ever existed.
Lin Yue monitored the screen for quite some time; these people were discussing how to build shelters, but there was little concrete information, so he turned back to the group.
Huh, still 91225 people.
Looking at the time, nearly an hour had passed.
System, are you nervous?
Lin Yue looked at the announcement again, feeling it was nothing but a joke now.
Currently, it seemed that many survivors are comfortably facing the disaster, a small fraction are in the Underground Ruins, and some beggars are huddled like rats in little rooms offered by the Lizardmen.
No matter what, this system-generated disaster now seems to indeed have a touch of humor to it.
Under the wisdom of clever humans, there are always ways to tackle disasters, from initial panic and helplessness, having no solutions at all, to now drastically reduced death numbers and steady survival, how long did it take?
Lin Yue believed unless the system threw a curveball with a triple disaster next, it’d be easy to tackle any problem with the ample three days’ preparation given by the disaster alerts!
He gently stood up and went to the ice maker, scooping some ice into a cup, then dropped two green tea bags inside before adding water.
