Disaster Ends, Food Prices Soar!

The first wave of hailstones had a diameter starting at 3 centimeters, roughly the size of an egg.

At a rate of 5,000 hailstones per square kilometer per minute, it was not particularly terrifying. It was only the explosive crack of them pounding against the ground and buildings that made people's scalps prickle.

Through the cameras, Su Mo focused intently on the changes in several test buildings outside.

As expected, the brick-and-tile structures could not withstand the hail's continuous bombardment. After about ten minutes, holes had already appeared, making it difficult for them to continue protecting the objects inside.

The reinforced concrete and solid-wood buildings, however, remained sturdy and could basically ignore the first wave of the hail disaster.

"It seems the target of this disaster isn't humanity, but the exposed buildings and farmland."

"Reducing the food harvest is probably the primary goal of this hail disaster."

Putting down the tablet, Su Mo gradually developed an ominous feeling.

This discovery was an extremely serious matter.

One had to know that the seasons in the Wasteland were fundamentally different from those on Earth.

Take the summer harvest, for example. On Earth, it took place around Grain in Ear, roughly from mid-May to mid-June.

But on the Wasteland, because of the climate, crops generally matured from mid-June to mid-July.

There was a full month's difference between them.

Moreover, the various crops in Tian Yuan Territory matured much faster than those in other Gathering Places.

Take Green Fruit Territory from before. The fields there would not be ready for harvest until at least mid-July.

Furthermore, after several large territories such as Wuya Territory had speculated on food prices last year, Tian Yuan Territory, as the one in charge, had already put a considerable portion of its own reserves into the market to force
