The disaster reached its final moment; lightning gradually subsided, and the temperature reached its peak.
However, as terrifying gales began to blow, the temperature suddenly dropped, and giant ice blocks started pouring relentlessly from the clouds!
As the sound of the first hailstone hitting the ground echoed, the refugees finally realized that the giant hailstones were the most terrifying part of this triple disaster.
Gigantic ice blocks fell like meteors, bombarding the earth like bombs at an incredible speed. Naturally, the traces of devastation left by the fire tornado on the ground, along with the remaining flames, were completely eradicated by these giant hailstones!
On the earth, among the mountains, billions of Survivors and beggars in various shelters finally endured the first two disasters. But now, listening to the terrifying impacts overhead, each person felt that if any corner of the shelter were breached by the hailstones, the entire sturdy shelter would be shattered into fragments, leaving them as remnants amidst the ice.

The massive and solitary shelter also became a primary target in this giant hailstone bombardment.
It’s been 34 days in the Otherworld, and it’s now the 35th day, almost all Survivors have gathered to form the Refugee Village.
As Survivors from various Refugee Villages continued to explore and build, they acquired more functional buildings and established walls, with more shelters inside the walls.
The more these buildings multiplied, the more were destroyed by giant hailstones.
Hail is considered an "economic disaster" on Earth for this reason.
We often hear about hail damaging numerous electric lines and house windows, along with a large amount of crops, but rarely hear of hail causing fatalities.
Yet, this time, it is different.
Giant hailstones continuously bombard from the sky like cannonballs, and their size does indeed suit this description.
"As big as cantaloupes! Can you still call them hailstones or should we call them ice missiles?"
Lin Yue just went to the warehouse and cracked open the door; due to the fierce south wind, a small area near the north door of the large warehouse wasn’t affected by the hailstones.
He illuminated around with a flashlight and noticed that the giant hailstones relentlessly smashing into the ground and the shelter had formed a thick layer of "ice crust"!
Using Outstanding Iron Spear to casually sweep a piece aside, he found the size of these so-called "giant hailstones" was staggering.
Typically, the largest hailstones on Earth are just fist-sized, but the "hailstones" the size of cantaloupes in his hand should rather be called "ice missiles"!
They truly fell like missiles, perpetually this downpour and destruction, unleashing waves of icy storms!
Their high speed and massive size when falling from high up caused extreme damage to the ground; wooden shelters couldn’t withstand a single hit, stone shelters were on the verge of collapse, and iron shelters turned into closed cans. Although not shattered, they were hit so violently that they resonated endlessly, torturing the Survivors inside, who falsely believed they were safe.
Lin Yue discovered in the system panel that his main shelter barely suffered any damage. Despite some destruction to the rock shell covering the alloy, even those extremely destructive giant hailstones had no effect on it.
The fire tornado once crossed the wall, charged toward the greenhouse, then swept past the main shelter before disappearing into another direction, without causing much disturbance.
This sufficiently proved that his disaster prevention efforts were excellent!
The sound of giant hailstone bombardment became sparse, and finally vanished completely at 1 AM system time.
Lin Yue sat silently on the couch, observing various messages in the World Channel; after the hailstone bombardment ceased, he came back to his senses.
Setting aside the pen and diary, he glanced at the numerous words written above.
Names of Refugee Villages, and the leaders controlling them, along with various relevant information.
The total number was staggering.
These were the final figures of Refugee Villages that made offers for the vital resource, air conditioners, at the last moment.
The quantity of information was incredibly vast.
Lin Yue was indeed surprised at this number when he saw it, not expecting that so many Refugee Villages would be able to offer bids for air conditioners at such a moment.
Originally, he thought a hundred would be the maximum.
Bear in mind that in this final moment of crisis for disaster resistance, those needing air conditioners were definitely not those without electricity to join the fun. In other words, these people had power generation devices and had entered the electrical age!
Normally, almost no one mentioned anything about using electricity or related appliances, leading everyone, including Lin Yue, to believe the number of electricity-using Refugee Villages would be very small.
Yet, after he announced the air conditioners for trade, simply from seeing and making offers upon this message, there were 249.
How many of the others in shelters, those who obtained nitrate or had pre-existing disaster resistance methods, also had access to electricity?
