The moment the light turned on, a figure "thud thud thud" ran up the stairs.
A loud crash sounded from the board, "Wham!" Then footsteps appeared overhead.
"Dammit! Close the door quickly!" Li Teng cursed.
The impact damaged the cupboard, and a wave of hot air instantly surged down from the room above.
Those by the door hurried to close it.
"No good, the hole in the ceiling is still pouring hot air down here!" Daisy, standing right below the small hole, pointed upwards.
Above the basement, the living room of the house above was where Daisy had first discovered a hole underfoot, and now she was once again standing directly below it.
Several horizontal pipes ran across the ceiling, the iron water pipes commonly found in old-style houses.
The fist-sized hole was between two pipes, continuously spewing hot air downwards.
"If it stays this hot, we'll be dead eventually!" Huang Xun kept wiping his sweat.
