Yinqyueh just shook her head. Her eyes widened in a question mark.
"A few months ago, we tried to get into this hole. After descending about thirty meters, this hole led to a corner of a fairly large room. About ten by ten meters. The location of the room was behind this wall. ."
"So the basement is under the backyard of the house behind this wall?"
"Not the backyard that's directly behind this wall, but the house next to it. We don't know what the cellar is for. But I think it could at least serve as a temporary hiding place."
"Isn't it dangerous to hide down there?" Yinqyueh's tone was full of doubt.
"The walls and roof of the room below look pretty solid. Of course, we've never tried to spend the night there. We only went in and had a look for a few minutes."
"What about the air vents down there?"
"As long as we were down there, we didn't feel suffocated or anything like that. Maybe besides this inlet, there's another ventilation duct that connects the room down there with the other rooms. But we haven't had time to thoroughly examine everything."
"So we're going to hide here? Are you sure it's really safe down there?" Yingyue launched out those words with a tone full of doubts.
"This is only a last resort. We'll only go in there if we don't have time to get to a safe place in a short time. As for whether it's really safe down there, I'm not sure myself either. As I explained earlier that when we It's downstairs, we don't feel a lack of oxygen. So there might be another way out. If our suspicions are correct that this house is being watched, then we have to figure out how to leave this house unnoticed."
The kitchen door opened. They saw Iren coming out from behind the door. He walked straight towards the two of them. The look on his face was outlandish.
"Are we going to hide in this dungeon?" Iren repeated the question Yinqyueh had just asked.
Shannchyuan sighed. "That's not it. I'm just explaining the worst that could happen. This is only one of several plausible options. I also hope we don't have to hide underground." Shannchyuan stopped talking. He looked at Iren and Yinqyueh. "I think we should all go inside for now."
The three of them rushed into the house. Arriving inside, the three saw Yihshyong, who had just finished setting the dinner dishes on the dining table. The man smiled when he saw them.
"Uncle Yihshyong is very diligent." Yinqyueh smiled widely.
"It's time for dinner. I don't think Jenqyih and Shinnshiow won't be home any time soon. Besides, they seem to have had dinner out. What I mean is that we don't have to wait for them. We'd better have dinner for now." Yihshyong explained briefly. He smiled widely. He seemed very satisfied with the result of his efforts, namely the arrangement of their dinner.
Shannchyuan believed everyone presented naturally agreed with Yihshyong's thoughts. There was no doubt that they were all starving.
After that, the four of them sat at the dining table. They began to try enjoying the dishes that Yihshyong had prepared. Unlike usual, that time they ate in silence. Shannchyuan, Yihshyong, and Iren seemed busy with their own thoughts.
"How do we get down to that hole?" Suddenly Yinqyueh's voice broke the silence at the dining table.
Shannchyuan stopped feeding rice into his mouth. He looked at Yinqyueh. "There is an iron ladder embedded in the hole's wall. If we open the metal plate that covers the hole, we will be able to see the ladder clearly. At that time, we went down using the ladder."
Yinqyueh seemed still not satisfied. "Regarding the air in the room, there might be ventilation ducts connecting the room to other places. But will the oxygen content in the room be sufficient for all of us if we have to hide there for a few days?"
"I don't think we're going to hide out there for days." Iren preceded Shannchyuan in commenting on Yinqyueh's question. "That's also if it's true that after this we really have to hide there."
Yihshyong grabbed Iren's arm. Iren turned to Shannchyuan. "Sorry, Dahge."
"It's okay," said Shannchyuan. "I agree with what you said." He looked at Yinqyueh. "The old owner of this house passed away more than a month ago. He owned a lot of property in this city, so it's not just this house. His health condition for the past few years hadn't been very good. So in all the properties he owned, including in this house, he kept a lot of equipment that is closely related to his health condition, so in the warehouse next to the kitchen, there are items such as wheelchairs, infusion poles, oxygen cylinders, and even a portable heart shock device. We can bring some of those oxygen cylinders down if needed."
Yinqyueh nodded at the explanation Shannchyuan had just said. Shannchyuan didn't know if that explanation satisfied Yinqyueh enough.
