Chapter 200: Breaking the Wall for Ventilation

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Breaking the Wall for Ventilation

This was indeed a problem, all four of them knew, and this was definitely not sustainable.

Either freeze to death or be suffocated to death.

"We still need to add fire, if it doesn’t work, let’s smash a hole in this wall," said Song Yi, simply stating what seemed like a consequential act.

Yet, the reality was much more complex.

We don’t even know what material the wall is made of. If it’s brick, it’s okay, but if it’s cement, we can’t smash through it.

Moreover, we don’t have the right tools for the job, nor has anyone here done this sort of work before.

In our hands, nothing is properly balanced..."

Her intention was clear, if they damaged the room and created a big hole.

The wolves could simply enter directly, not even needing to bother with the roller door.

"It’s okay, we knock on the back wall. I’ll handle it..." he said, signaling Jhiang Yuan to go over and step on the roller door at this side.​

Song Yi had been on reconnaissance missions before and was very versatile.​

Ye Mianmian followed behind him, unsure if she could be of any help.​

He took out a short knife and directly scraped the wall, the putty dropping off very quickly.​

It seemed brittle, probably due to the cold.​

But the inside was not so easy.​

The first floor was quite damp, and there was moisture inside the walls, especially in this cold weather.​

It has already frozen into bits of ice, fortunately, not thick.​

However, his short knife was really sharp.​

"How is it?"

Zhang Kaiyang was very anxious, feeling like he had just brushed past death.

The fire was also dwindling now; if it really went out, that would be terribly unbearable.​

This moment was the coldest yet.​

"Red bricks!"​

"Ah, that’s great..."​

All three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. With no suitable tools on hand, the remaining two started rummaging through the supplies.

They were trying to find something useful, as breaking a wall was no easy task.​

Jhiang Yuan thought for a moment, then quickly called out, "Mianmian, come over..."​

"Ah..."​

Letting Ye Mianmian take her place, she began to search through the backpack.​

"How about this?"​

She pulled out a small hammerhead, lacking a handle.​

It was said to have been taken from the backpack, easy to hide.​

In fact, it was surreptitiously brought out from a space, without taking a large, or complete one.​

She feared arouse suspicion as just earlier in Misty World, they had thoroughly searched their possessions.

If she could have hidden a hammer, it would be too inconceivable.

However, a hammerhead was not a problem.​

A fist-sized object, very likely overlooked.​

"This will do..."​

Song Yi said, then moved to the counter in the back.​

He squatted down, groped around for a while, and pulled out a rock.​

"I saw this earlier, perfect to use together."​

Man, if I had known there were rocks, I wouldn’t have taken the risk.​

Really...

Song Yi didn’t dwell on it, found a small stick, and fixed up the hammer.​

The middle was a bit thick, so he whittled down the stick a bit with his blade.​

Then he went to smash the wall, not knowing the specific load-bearing capacity, using not too much force on the first hit.​

With a "thud," all three of them tensed up.​

Dog’s ears are very sensitive, that pack of wolves, probably even more so.​

Now, hearing the noise, they might attack.​

All three were careful, firmly stepping on the roller door below.​

Song Yi knew this, so the first hit was just to test the wall’s thickness.​

Now, he had an idea of it.

The second time, it cracked.

Using a small hammer was sufficient, but it indeed made quite a bit of noise.

They had to speed up, as they couldn’t make too big of a commotion. The cold air from outside attacked, causing several people to shiver involuntarily.

It was a necessity for starting a fire.

During those mere five minutes, it felt as though a century had passed.

Fortunately, they finally got it done.

"No noise, could they have left?"

"We can’t let our guard down,"

Song Yi said as he picked up the stone, trying to hold down the corner of the rolling shutter door.

This type of rolling door was the most common on the market, able to extend a little at the bottom.

However, it wasn’t very wide. You could only step on it sideways.

"Let’s take turns to rest, Jhiang Yuan, Mianmian, you guys go first!"

Song Yi took over, letting the girls come down.

Jhiang Yuan thought about adding more firewood and didn’t refuse.

They didn’t know what was happening outside, unable to see.

But, once targeted, the wolves certainly wouldn’t give up easily.

In this situation, even the small animals in the forest were probably starving.

They had no food left, which is why they would attack humans.

"I didn’t know there were wolves nearby, it’s terrifying."

"Nothing’s impossible here. There are a lot of wild forests up on the plateau.

And since it’s next to Qinling mountain, they might have come from there, it’s not certain."

The vast Qinchuan River area, how many places are still undeveloped.

Even, some areas, nobody has ever gone into.

Mysteries and dangers exist side by side.

"It’s so scary, what if there are other, more dangerous creatures?"

Ye Mianmian was somewhat impatient, Zhang Kaiyang always talked about these things.

"Enough, just shut it. With these beasts around, isn’t it troubling enough?

Why talk about those, really..."

"Alright, I won’t talk about it anymore, no more..."

Zhang Kaiyang gave a sheepish smile, feeling that it was indeed inappropriate to mention that.

There was no need to make the atmosphere even more somber, and no wonder Ye Mianmian was annoyed.

Jhiang Yuan also wasn’t sleepy, constantly checking her watch.

Every second was agonizing.

After half an hour, she went to relieve Song Yi and Zhang Kaiyang.

The two guys didn’t let her, and Ye Mianmian wasn’t idle either.

Adding firewood and maintaining the fire was also a skillful task, no one had it easy.

Finally, by seven o’clock, they could feel a faint light through the hole in the wall.

Everyone felt much more at ease, but still didn’t dare to relax at all.

"Brother Song, shall we open it to take a look?"

"No, let’s wait a bit longer..."

"Kaiyang, don’t rush. We’ve waited this long, a bit longer won’t hurt."

"Mhm, I’m not in a hurry, Sister Yuan, it’s just that I really need to use the bathroom."

Well, when someone has to go, it’s something no one can overlook.

Jhiang Yuan went to take his place, with limited facilities, there wasn’t much to fuss about.

There were plenty of racks inside; they just dealt with it behind them.

Zhang Kaiyang felt a bit embarrassed, but really couldn’t hold it any longer; he hadn’t gone all day.

So, he went to the hole in the wall, where the smell would disperse a bit faster...

...

By nine o’clock, it was already broad daylight, but Song Yi still didn’t allow everyone to go out.

"Let’s wait a bit longer, by noon, people will definitely come out in the village.

When there are more people looking for food, the wolves will get scared.

Wait until they run away on their own, then we’ll be safe. Just wait a bit longer..."
