Jiang Li sat in the car, relaxed, and stretched.

"What do you want to eat when we get back?"

"The beef we caught today will be great for a big meal when we get home."

She turned to look at Ye Jingmo, who was driving next to her, and started chatting with him.

Ye Jingmo kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, and took a moment to reply to Jiang Li.

"Didn't you want to eat steak before?"

I happened to bring home some hind leg meat today. After slicing it into steaks, I marinated it, pan-fried it with butter, and served it with cherry tomatoes.

Listening to the description inside, Jiang Li couldn't help but swallow, suddenly feeling extremely hungry.

She was already imagining the delicious food she would have that night.

Suddenly, her wristwatch beeped.

Jiang Li clicked on the notification with a hint of doubt.

"According to the weather department, it will hail in five minutes."

All adventurers who are outdoors, please take immediate shelter under nearby cover.

I'll repeat it again...

The news weighed heavily on Jiang Li's face. She had just picked up the walkie-talkie when Qin Yue's anxious voice came through the other end.

"Sister Jiang Li, have you received the notice? It's going to hail soon."

We were still halfway to the villa area, so we had to find a house along the way to take shelter for the time being.

We can only continue our journey after the hail stops.

"We have received the notification. We are now heading to the nearest house. Qin Yu, you guys follow."

"Lili, hold on tight to the handrail."

Ye Jingmo turned the steering wheel all the way and drove the snowmobile at top speed. Jiang Li felt her body involuntarily fly forward.

If she hadn't been holding onto the handrail and wearing her seatbelt, she would have been thrown off the snowmobile right now.

Relying on his memory of the map, Ye Jingmo quickly exited the highway at the intersection and ran towards the side road.

Qin Yu gripped the steering wheel tightly, pressing the accelerator so hard it was practically sparking, but he couldn't help but want to go faster and faster.

If hailstones before the apocalypse could kill people, he couldn't help but believe that hailstones after the apocalypse wouldn't have that power.

The roofs of snowmobiles are made of glass. Although tempered glass is used, it is still only a thin layer and cannot withstand the impact of hail falling from the sky.

Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu rushed as fast as they could and finally found the house before the hailstorm started.

Rows of houses stood there, but there wasn't a single light on. Some of the outer walls had collapsed, suggesting that no one had lived there for a long time.

It's like a remote mountain village house in a creepy story.

What unspeakable secret is hidden there?

But right now, everyone's only thought is to get out of the hail.

We're already incredibly grateful to have found a house to hide in, so what place could possibly be terrifying?

"Quickly put that shield onto the snowmobile."

Ye Jingmo saw a collapsed tarpaulin on the ground of a house and called to Qin Yu and the other two to quickly lend a hand and lift it onto the snowmobile.

The biting wind was piercing and chilling, and a sense of gloom swept across the land in an instant.

Jiang Li struggled to shield her face with her hands, trying to avoid the biting wind.

After covering the snowmobile, Ye Jingmo stepped forward, hugged Jiang Li tightly, and rushed towards the door of the house.

Qin Yu also pulled Qin Yue along, following behind Ye Jingmo. The moment they entered the door,

"Bang, bang, bang."

Hailstones the size of fists pelted the ground.

Fear flashed in Qin Yue's eyes. She had just seen a hailstone the size of a basketball fall down, instantly creating a small crater in the ground.

Even minor injuries from hail can keep someone in bed for months.

Jiang Li's face turned deathly pale from the wind, and her previously panicked mind gradually calmed down.

Ye Jingmo closed the door to block out the crackling sounds outside.

"Given the current situation, we'll probably have to spend the night in this house."

Ye Jingmo took out a lighter, illuminating the layout of the room.

"I'll go look for something usable in the house and make do for the night."

In her haste to get off the bus, Jiang Li just grabbed a backpack; the bedding she needed for camping was already in the car.

It's impossible to go out and get it now.

The most important thing now is to get the fire going, because the cold snap at night can freeze people to death.
