Sitting on the sofa, Lin Yue kept thinking.
This disaster is probably not as simple as the text describes.
Extreme heat, hail, and fire tornadoes.
Any one of these alone would be terrifying enough, let alone all three together?
However, he felt that the probability of the triple disaster occurring together is extremely low, as there is a "contradiction" involved.
Hail and extreme heat are not that conflicting, after all, on the original Earth, hail was quite common when the hot summer came, but adding a fire tornado completely changes things.
"Hailstorms accompanied by strong winds, thunderstorms, and heavy rain are a series of intense weather processes that occur when hail descends on Earth. A fire tornado couldn’t possibly appear with hail, right..."
If they occur together, their power would greatly diminish, rather than produce some special chemical reaction that makes the disaster more terrifying.
But what if they occur separately?
The temperature rises to an extreme, followed by the outbreak and rampage of fire tornadoes, and finally, colossal hailstones fall to the ground!
This is also the most likely sequence and mode of disaster occurrence, which would be more powerful, more destructive, and a more terrifying test for the Survivors!
"If that’s the case, at least I shouldn’t have any major problems here, but others’ Shelters and Refugee Villages might face catastrophic disasters."
Lin Yue analyzed for a while.
As for extreme heat, he’s not afraid; with air-conditioned rooms, watermelons, ice-making machines, cold noodles, etc., getting through it would be too easy.
As for fire tornadoes, their danger mainly lies in the combustion effect and extreme heat they bring. As long as the Shelter is not made of wood, there’s nothing much to worry about, and moving all flammable items at that time would completely eliminate any concerns about this disaster causing any loss.
The complicated part is hail.
Giant hail... just how big is it going to be? Ordinarily, egg-sized hail is frightening enough; if they’re as big as grapefruits, it’s almost like a cannonball striking the ground.
What if they’re even larger in size?
Lin Yue remembered hearing from the staff at the meteorological station, during his time working there, that the largest hailstones could even be as big as those balls kids play with, but they are extremely rare, and not easily found.
If hailstones are that big... general buildings probably wouldn’t be able to withstand them, right?
"Lin Yue, I’m sorry, I just saw this, so... shall we continue with yesterday’s matter?"
In the private chat window, Xing Lingfeng suddenly replied, interrupting Lin Yue’s thoughts.
Continuing with yesterday’s matter, naturally referred to the intelligence he intended to exchange for so many supplies.
"I’ll tell you now, and then you can post the remaining items for exclusive trade," Lin Yue assured this trading partner, and immediately shared the effects of the Lizardman’s Sweat Blood with Xing Lingfeng in the private chat.
It seemed that Xing Lingfeng was in a state of extreme shock, remaining silent for a moment.
Lin Yue prepared a bucket of Lizardman’s Sweat Blood and informed Xing Lingfeng.
"I understand, let’s trade first." Despite the complex emotions of extreme doubt and shock on Xing Lingfeng’s side, and some skepticism from others in the Refugee Village, he decided to trust Lin Yue, standing by his decision against all opinions.

Lin Yue wouldn’t joke about such matters, and he wouldn’t damage the hard-earned good relationship with Lin Yue over this.
Xing Lingfeng packed all the supplies he promised from the previous day, found Lin Yue, and Lin Yue also immediately prepared the Lizardman’s Sweat Blood, allowing them to complete the exclusive trade as quickly as possible.
After that, Xing Lingfeng applied the blood-red liquid from the 4L mineral water bottle onto himself as instructed by Lin Yue.
"Lin Yue, you mean that mutant creatures will dis smell and then will avoid and stay away?" Xing Lingfeng confirmed once more.
Although they had previously taken down some Lizardmen, each time their biggest harvest was just some Copper Treasure Chests, nothing more.
According to Lin Yue, the so-called Lizardman’s Sweat Blood is the sweat naturally produced by Lizardmen during states such as fighting. It’s the most disliked scent by mutant creatures and various monsters, allowing the Lizardmen to move freely at night and capture some powerful mutant creatures for taming and use.
It sounds quite magical and somewhat story-like.
With this unpleasant smell somewhat reminiscent of the foul odor released by centipede-like creatures when encountered danger, Xing Lingfeng, holding a weapon, led several subordinates outside the Refugee Village.
He soon spotted a Mutant Sheep, a mutant creature with low attack power that’s very easy to kill, yet has quite a strong offensive instinct.
But with his current skills, taking down one alone was no problem at all.
Xing Lingfeng decided to attack the Mutant Sheep alone this time, after applying the Sweat Blood, to see if it really worked.
Of course, he also had his men set up an ambush around, just in case something unexpected happened.
Holding a steel spear, Xing Lingfeng charged directly at the Mutant Sheep!
