Having overheard the conversation, how could he not know what he should do next?
She knew, however, that if maintaining a sense of security was essential, then all her previous efforts would have been in vain.
He also didn’t want to get himself hurt.
“Relax, I know how to keep myself safe.”
With his assurance, everyone seemed to feel somewhat relieved.
Yigol Novak then stepped up to the edge of the passage, ready to descend with great caution.
But due to her robust physique, it took a while for her to climb down.
When people saw him disappearing from their sight for no apparent reason, they felt a deep sense of panic, not knowing what kind of environment they were dealing with.
So, Suri Drew by the side voiced out her concern.
“Honey, where are you now? Are you facing any trouble?”
Upon hearing her, Yigol Novak looked up at them.
Indeed, there was a direction, but not exceptionally clear.
“From what I can see, it seems to be a damp basement. The smell here is sickening.”
Listening to him, everyone finally understood what was happening. They were all taken aback, as they had no idea there was such a space below.
The group exchanged glance, confused about why such a place exists.
Before this, he had little knowledge of what could be down there. Now that he had seen it, it seemed more unbelievable.
Price, standing nearby, also frowned and asked quickly.
“Can you see anything else around you?”
Everyone was curious and wanted him to take a closer look.
Upon hearing that, Yigol Novak could only shake his head in resignation, before uttering.
“It’s pitch black down here; I can’t see anything, and I don’t have a flashlight.”
Having heard that, they all nodded in realization. It indeed must be completely dark down there. Without a light source, seeing the surroundings would be impossible.
Since this is the case, they couldn’t just stay up there. They prepared to descend to investigate what lies beneath.
They were extremely cautious towards this matter, unwilling to make any errors.
Under such circumstances, everyone appeared tense. Luke nearby quickly spoke up.
“Let me go down first.”
Without any hesitation, Price nodded before pointing to himself.
“Then I’ll be the last one down.”
He had to keep the girls in the middle. If something happened in the middle, they could possibly be able to help.
Suri had no objections to this arrangement and immediately agreed.
“I have no issues with it.”
Now that everything was settled, they could not afford to waste any more time. Hence, they began to move, as they urgently needed to get things done.
In the end, everyone descended with seriousness.
Descending was indeed painful as their bodies seemed to mismatch with the passage.
However, they all made it down eventually.
Upon reaching the basement, they were hit with a strong muggy smell, making their noses extremely uncomfortable as though wanting to sneeze.
This made them feel rather terrible inside.
“My goodness, what on earth is this smell? It’s disgusting!”
Even Luke couldn’t help but wrinkle his brows lightly and voice out such words.
Mainly because this smell was worse than the smell of blood and resembled the putrid scent of something decaying.
The others, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement without hesitation. They shared the same thought, finding the smell unbearable.
Even so, they would still try to endure it, knowing this matter was of great importance to them. No corners could be cut now.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to find any key information from here.
“Let’s have a look at what kind of place this is.”
Suri said, her face serious.
She was quite curious about this and felt the need to examine the surroundings carefully.
The others upon hearing this, how could they not know what needs to be done? Hence, they began to investigate in pairs, in search of useful items in the room.
However, after searching for a while, they still couldn’t find anything particularly useful.
The room, in contrast to the one they were in before, resembled more of a basement.
There were also many iron racks, on which were placed some odd stuff.
Many of the items were rusted.
Moreover, they seemed to smell a distinct scent of iron rust.
This made them feel more uncomfortable.
They hadn’t been eating much during this period and were now being hit with an unpleasant smell. They had a hard time accepting it.
“Oh God, the place seems to be filled with iron racks. Where should we start from?”
Luke spoke out in exasperation after looking around for a while and found nothing useful.
Upon hearing him, the others nodded in agreement as they, too, weren’t sure what to do next.
They had been searching diligently. After a long while, besides the iron racks and some unimportant items on it, nothing else was found.
This made them feel a bit discouraged.
“Yeah, we’ve spent so much time, yet found nothing.”
Also, from the map, shouldn’t we be nearing the exit? This place doesn’t seem to be leading to the exit.”
“Exactly, I also felt the same. So now I’m unsure if what we saw was proper.”
