The oxygen problem has been completely solved, but now they are trapped inside the room.

Therefore, you basically have to carry a portable oxygen cylinder every time you leave the room.

Over the next few days, the poultry and livestock were basically all slaughtered.

The types of poultry and livestock that have been preserved are very complete, but their numbers have been reduced to a very small number.

The food that Lu Yuan had stored in the underground cold storage room had filled the entire cold storage room to the brim.

In their spare time, the family members mostly think about what to eat for the next meal and how to take care of the children.

Or perhaps they're just creating some trouble for themselves, or better yet, something to kill time when they're bored.

The old man picked up his chess set again and would play a game with almost anyone he could find.

That day, Lu Yuan was sitting in his room with nothing to do, flipping through TV programs with the remote control.

These TV programs are all stored in their own home cloud storage.

Recently, Lu Yuan has become obsessed with suspense dramas. He likes to watch them here when he has nothing to do, and Xiao Shan will also watch them with him when she is bored.

Lu's father wasn't interested in these suspense dramas. Whenever he saw a suspense drama on TV, he couldn't help but spoil the ending, which made Lu Yuan lose the anticipation for the ending of the drama.

"Stop watching. The prosecutor at the end is the biggest boss. You can tell without even thinking about it. What's so interesting about this?"

When Lu's father passed by the TV, he glanced at the program and immediately revealed the plot, causing Lu Yuan to show a helpless expression.

"Dad, can you please stop spoiling the plot for me? I finally found some TV shows I like to watch, and you keep talking about them. What's the point? You haven't even watched them!"

A smile appeared on Lu's father's lips. He then sat down in front of Lu Yuan and secretly pointed in the direction where the old man was.

"Sitting and watching TV is so boring, why don't you go play a couple of games of chess with your grandpa!"

After hearing what his father said, Lu Yuan couldn't help but turn his head and take a look.

The old man was holding a chess piece in his hand, engrossed in playing a game with himself, but a hint of loneliness appeared on his face.

It seems that no one in this family has any interest in chess.

"Forget it, I can't beat the old man at chess, and if I use my phone, he'll accuse me of cheating!"

"Then you should spend more time with the old man. Don't forget you're his eldest grandson now! Respecting the elderly is your duty, so go on your way!"

Lu Yuan glanced at the sinister look on his father's face and clearly understood what he meant.

"Then why don't you go?"

Lu's father immediately straightened his face and then spoke seriously to Lu Yuan in a low voice.

"You know the relationship between him and me. If I say the wrong thing, he will lecture me. Who would dare to sit down and play chess with him!"

It seems like you're the only one in the whole house who can really talk to him. You seem to have a way of dealing with this strange old man, so go and help him solve this problem!

Lu Yuan reluctantly put down the remote control, then got up and went to the old man's side.

"Ahem! Grandpa, playing chess for fun?"

Upon seeing that it was Lu Yuan who had come over, a hint of joy immediately appeared on the old man's face.

Then he quickly stepped forward, pulled Lu Yuan over, and pressed him down onto the small stool opposite him.

"Hehehe, TV dramas aren't very interesting, are they? Come over here and play a couple of games with me. Look, I've just figured out a new way to kill a piece. Come and try it out!"

"Alright, since Dad has already revealed most of the plot, I'll play a couple of games with you. But let's make this clear first, I can take back my moves, but you can't, otherwise I won't be able to beat you!"

The old man's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

"No problem! I'll give you a free take-back! I'll even give you two rooks!"

"No need for that, let's begin!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan sat down on a small stool and started playing chess with the old man.

The two chatted while playing chess. Winning or losing didn't hold much appeal for Lu Yuan, as his understanding of chess wasn't very thorough; he only had a rough grasp of some of the rules.

As for how well I played, it was only because I had played with the old man a few times before and had a slight understanding of some checkmating techniques.

After a few rounds, Lu Yuan actually won once.

The old man deliberately let Lu Yuan win with this sentence, which allowed Lu Yuan to finally put him in a difficult position.

After reading it, the old man showed a smug look on his face.

"Hehe, young man, don't you understand why I'm letting you checkmate me?"

After hearing this, Lu Yuan was stunned. He looked up at the old man.

Upon noticing the smug look on the other person's face, he immediately realized that the other person had set him up.

"Oh, so you were deliberately letting me win?"

The old man chuckled softly, then moved his cannon to the front.

"Hehe, this is called the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I gave you a clerk's head to checkmate you. So, what do you say now?"

Seeing the lineup on the chessboard change instantly, Lu Yuan sighed helplessly and put down the chess piece in his hand.

"Sigh, forget it, I can't beat you. You're too good. I'll just go back to watching my suspense drama!"

A hint of helplessness appeared on the old man's face.

"If we keep wasting time like this every day and can't get anything done, what are we going to do? We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

Lu Yuan was about to get up but sat back down. Hearing the old man's words, he felt helpless.

"What can we do? The superstorm outside is too big. We can't even go out. And it's so dark outside that we can't see anything. We can only sit here and wait for the superstorm to pass!"

The old man sighed softly and put down the chess piece in his hand.

"Yes, we can only wait, as if we know our fate is sealed, but there's nothing we can do. By the way, the noise outside seems to have subsided a lot now!"

Lu Yuan looked up at the ceiling, as if trying to see through it to anything beyond.

"Yes, the superstorm sounds much quieter, but it probably hasn't passed yet, otherwise our oxygen generators should be working!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan stood up and actually addressed the old man.

"Grandpa, let me go check on the equipment first. If the superstorm passes, we can go out and get some fresh air. Being cooped up in this room every day is making us sick."

So, Lu Yuan went to the central control room and checked the oxygen generator.

When he saw the message on the oxygen concentrator's screen, he realized something was wrong.

"Hmm? Something's not right! Before it was about insufficient pressure, why is it now about quickly clearing the water from the air intake?"

Upon seeing these prompts, a look of shock immediately appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
