There's a big hole in the swimming pool?
Several people were confused by Clark McKenzie's words. Even if it was an earthquake, the magnitude was not large. There was not even a crack in the wall of the house. How could it be possible to shake a big hole in the swimming pool?
After calming himself down and making sure the earthquake was no longer continuing, Yang Jing led the way towards the swimming pool.
Sure enough, the swimming pool that was once full of clear water is now empty. In a corner of the swimming pool, a large hole with a diameter of about one and a half meters appeared. It was pitch black, like the open mouth of a devil.
"What's going on? Is the underground here empty? We are halfway up the mountain!" Yang Jing asked in disbelief, looking at the big hole.
John Bruno said, "Boss, it's hard to say. San Francisco is a hilly area with a complex geological structure. No one can tell what's going on under the land. Maybe there's a hole underground where we are, and the earthquake opened up the upper layer of the hole."
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "That's not right. San Francisco used to have earthquakes frequently, but how come there's no sign of a big hole here?"
George Bruce nodded and said, "BOSS, what John said makes sense. This villa area was only developed in recent years, and this house is also a new house. No one has lived in it before. After Mr. Zhao bought this villa and gave it to you, you became the first resident. So the swimming pool here has never been used. We only used this swimming pool after we came here. Perhaps this hole itself is already at a balance point, but we added so much water into the swimming pool. Hundreds of tons of water are pressing at this position, and coupled with the earthquake, the balance is destroyed all at once, so..." George Bruce spread his hands.
Yang Jing patted his head and said, "This is a swimming pool. What if the house is also located on this hole? Then when an earthquake occurs, won't the house sink with it? That would be fatal! No, we can't keep this house. We have to ask the developer to return it!"
Yang Jing was not saying this nonsense. No one would be able to bear knowing that their house was actually located on a big hole.
If this hole collapses, it will be fatal.
Chris Barton took out a flashlight, squatted by the swimming pool and shone it into the hole. He then picked up a small stone and threw it in. He listened to the sound of the stone moving inside and said, "Boss, the hole below shouldn't be that big, but it should be quite deep. And this hole doesn't seem to be straight up and down. There seems to be something blocking it in the middle."
Hearing what Chris said, the curiosity of several people was aroused, and at least Yang Jing stopped complaining.
Yang Jing moved closer and stretched his head to look down, but after looking for a long time he still couldn't see clearly what was inside.
Chris shone the flashlight around the big hole, then jumped directly into the swimming pool, squatted on the edge of the hole and looked down again.
"What is it?" Yang Jing asked.
"It seems...it seems that there is a passage leading to other directions six or seven meters below. John, find a strong flashlight. The light from this flashlight is too weak to see clearly."
John Bruno quickly ran into the house and soon came back with a few high-powered flashlights. He was also carrying a bundle of static ropes.
Yang Jing looked at the guy carrying the rope and asked in confusion: "John, do you still want to go down and take a look?"
John Bruno threw the rope, handed a strong flashlight to each person, and said to Yang Jing with a smile: "Boss, aren't you interested in what's down there? Anyway, I'm quite curious about it. If the situation allows, I really want to go down and take a look."
Yang Jing shook his head helplessly and gave this guy a thumbs up.
Chris changed the flashlight and took a look, then said, "Boss, this hole is probably not formed naturally, it seems to be dug by humans. But for some reason, this hole has not been dug to the end. However, there is a passage about six or seven meters below, and you can see the steps inside from here."
After a pause, Chris continued, "All of you come down. The area around this hole should be very solid, with no holes."
After hearing Chris's confirmation, Yang Jing jumped down.
"Boss, no wonder the earthquake created a hole here. Look at the marks on the hole. There is only a layer of rock about 20 centimeters thick between the bottom of the swimming pool and the top of the hole. The earthquake directly broke open the layer of rock, and then under the pressure of the water, it became like this."
Yang Jing shone the flashlight at the edge of the hole and nodded. His swimming pool is used for both swimming and diving. The deepest part of the hole is 3.5 meters, and there is a three-meter-high diving platform next to it. The water is so deep to prevent people from diving into the bottom of the swimming pool.
Through the reflection of the strong flashlight, you can clearly see that about six or seven meters below the cave, there is a passage sloping downwards. The most important thing is that this passage sloping downwards actually has steps.
Seeing this scene, Yang Jing's heart couldn't help but be moved. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't curious. Anyone who saw this situation would probably want to find out what was underneath.
"Let's wait a while and make sure there are no aftershocks. If there is another aftershock right after we go down, we might all be buried there!" Although he was very curious about what was down there, Yang Jing shook his head and refused to go down immediately. An earthquake had just happened, and he was still drilling underground at this time. He was like an old man eating arsenic and thinking he had lived too long!
