The first wave of hailstones that fell started to be 3cm in diameter, about the same size as an egg.

According to the frequency of 5,000 pellets per minute per square kilometer, it is not terrifying, but the crackling sound of explosions hitting the ground and buildings makes people feel a little numb.

Through the camera, Sumo focused on the changes in several test buildings outside.

Among them, the brick and tile structure could not withstand the continuous bombardment of hail, and holes were formed in about ten minutes, making it difficult to continue to protect the objects inside.

However, buildings made of reinforced concrete and solid wood are still strong and can basically ignore the damage caused by the first wave of hail.

"It seems that the target of this disaster is not humans, but the exposed buildings and farmland."

"Reducing food production is probably the first goal of this hail disaster."

Putting down the tablet, Sumo gradually felt something bad in his heart.

This discovery is quite a big deal.

You must know that the time in the wasteland is qualitatively different from that on the earth.

Take the summer harvest as an example. The summer harvest on Earth occurs around the time of Ear Grain, that is, from mid-May to mid-June.

But in the wasteland, due to the climate, the maturity time of crops is generally delayed from mid-June to mid-July.

There is a whole month's gap in between.

The maturity time of various crops in Tianyuan territory is much faster than that of crops in other gathering places.

Like the previous Qingguo territory, if the fields there are to mature, they have to wait until at least mid-July before they can be harvested.

Also, after last year’s grain price speculation in Wuyafu and several other large territories, Tianyuan Territory, as the spokesperson, in order to quell this sudden price increase, has already put a lot of its own inventory into the market to forcefully lower the price, which turned out to be bad.

Currently sitting on several large territories with grain.

Once the hailstorm ends, the other party will use this request to make some moves on the price of grain, thereby leveraging the territory's financial resources.

The consequences are simply unimaginable!

"No, if that's the case, there's no reason why the territory knew the news in advance and didn't take action."

"Don't tell me"

Suddenly remembering that the territory's management could know the news of a disaster half a month in advance, Sumo smelled a hint of conspiracy again.

As far as the situation is concerned, the current major wasteland territories still lack a large number of low-level labor forces to carry out construction.

And the solidified status class makes it more difficult to replenish these fresh blood.

A very simple example.

The same 1,000 identity points can be used to buy the identity of a middle-to-high-level manager if you are in the Qingguo territory.

Not only do you not have to do physical work and enjoy a comfortable and leisurely life, but you can also use this status to dominate and dominate ordinary people.

But if you use these 1,000 points to go to Tianyuan territory and look through the entire price list, you can only buy an ordinary plantation worker identity.

Comparing the two, anyone with a normal mind would make a choice.

But if the food production is reduced, the economy of those small and medium-sized territories will directly rot and collapse.

As for the choices of ordinary civilians, it's hard to say.

Perhaps those who have certain assets will choose to continue to hold on in the territory until the next harvest season arrives.

But those who have no assets, even if they are black accounts, may not choose to stay.

Within a month or two at most, they will flow into various major territories where food prices are still balanced in various ways to make a living.

"This move is too vicious. If my guess is true, this plan is completely squeezing the living space of small and medium-sized territories."

"Those ordinary people, even if they join a large territory, have no status, and work at the lowest level, as long as they can be fed and given some benefits, they can be won over and greatly replenish the territory's fresh labor blood."

"And whoever can do better welfare can attract more people at this time!"

It's hard to gain publicity in a battle to steal people.

After all, if one company starts to engage in vicious competition, it will easily lead to a large-scale identity collapse, and the rules of the game it has established will directly rot.

And those who have just spent huge sums of money to buy an identity will soon find that the identity they bought has plummeted, causing turmoil.

Only in this way can we continue to attract high-level talents who can afford the points, maintain the rules on the surface and continue to operate, and secretly win over unidentified gangsters.

Only by "accidentally" can the reversal between territories be completed.

"Identity, it is indeed an identity again!"

"These gangsters who sneak into the city have no identities. If they want to stay, they will definitely be extremely eager to have an identity that they can show off, so that they no longer have to live a life of fear and being kicked out at any time."

"If someone comes to open a lending business at this time, let them buy the most basic identity with a long-term loan and use the next few decades to repay the loan."

"Then in the past few decades, the territory will be able to have workers who work hard and are always dedicated to the lowest level. The profits they create can also be used by the territory to continue construction and complete various facilities to resist disasters."

Suddenly seeing through the true meaning of this layer of game rules, Sumo felt a chill on his back and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Call it bad, the territory wants to build these public facilities and implement the so-called "underground civilization" plan.

It will inevitably require countless ordinary people to work at the bottom and provide a large amount of labor to complete it.

In addition, through identity, you can continue to harvest those large households that have made money, so that they can also use the money to carry out territorial disaster resistance construction and various technological research and development.

But to put it mildly, everyone in the apocalypse is already living a poor life and is extremely hopeless about their future life.

Under such exploitation, it is bound to be like an open grenade, but it is temporarily pinched by the ring.

Once the pull tab is loosened one day, the explosive inside will explode, and the person holding the pull tab will also be killed.

"I must verify these ideas quickly"

"If it is true, it means that the era of chaos and turmoil is coming again!"

"When the time comes, the territories will all depend on means, and even the cities within the territories will be reshuffled."

Thinking of this, Sumo also made some guesses about the identity of the manager of Baoyu County who was suddenly rewarded by the game.

He stayed in this small town of Mulberry Fields, just waiting for the final zombie disaster to arrive, which was obviously not what the game wanted to see.

Considering all human actions, they cannot escape the monitoring of the game.

If the game wants him to gain authority in this world, it must continue to secretly support him to promote him, an outsider, to perform well during the disaster response.

Letting his ranking appear on the standings is a means, and rewarding him with the status of Baoyu Town manager worth four million is also a means.

"Going to Baoyu County is a development hint given by the game?"

The more thoroughly he thought, the more cautious Sumo became, not daring to think about it in a low voice for fear of being watched.

I want to become the lord of the territory within another year and lead the entire territory through the next super disaster without exposing my identity.

There are only two ways.

The first one is the violent attack that was previously conceived, and the beheading operation will be carried out directly after making the mecha.

Kill all those who betray the territory or have other intentions to complete the concentration of power.

The second article is to figure it out slowly and see the big from the small.

Strive to complete the collection of rights within the rules and directly use transaction points to buy the desired identity.

I haven't figured out which one to use.

Sumo could only suppress his thoughts for the time being and wait until after the summer harvest to get enough funds to make a mecha.

This will not take long. According to the worst-case scenario, it will be completed in early August at most.

At this time, it was still 10 months before he left this world.

There is still plenty of time!

Dragon Banner Territory·Fire Province·Fenghuo City.

Under the gloomy sky, a giant translucent cover covered the entire city, emitting a faint glow.

That horrific hail disaster, in this city that has integrated almost all human technology, can only be considered a distant spot at best.

Even if an ice cube as big as a fist hits the protective shield, it will only cause a faint ripple and then disappear.

In the city.

People come and go, and traffic flows constantly.

People who go to work still leave home at eight o'clock, take public transportation to the designated place, and complete the remaining work.

Those in the service industry did not panic at all. They still had formal smiles on their faces and completed their work.

Status divides people into three, six or nine levels, while leaving the possibility of promotion and a better life.

Even if life is the same, people living in this city still have great visions for tomorrow.

Of course, the entire city is not without change.

For example, in the Qingye Villa area where many important people live, the defense force increased dozens of times after one night.

There is a post at five steps and a sentry at ten steps.

Guards armed with live ammunition had blocked several surrounding streets since early in the morning, and the formation was terrifying.
