Chapter 885 Crisis Strikes



Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's alright, it's alright. Fortunately, it's just a tiny crack, so it won't cause much of a problem. We can just get some cement and re-plaster this area."

It's likely that the previous construction schedule was too hectic, causing some air bubbles to form inside. Now, with rainwater constantly pouring down from above, these air bubbles are dripping water from within them!

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lu's father and Xiao Shan's father exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness! I thought something had happened. I'm so glad you're alright!"

After making some simple repairs to the crack, Lu Yuan returned to his room and explained the situation to his family.

Lu Yuan now felt that the protective panels that had been blown from above the fortress had crashed onto the top of his house.

That's what caused that loud noise just now. Looking at Qiqi, who was crying incessantly, Lu Yuan felt a little worried.

Xiaoshan held the child in her arms and kept comforting and soothing him.

After a while, Qiqi finally stopped crying.

The child cried until he was tired and fell asleep. Xiao Shan shushed Lu Yuan.

Then she carefully led the child back to her room.

Lu Yuan looked up at the ceiling and felt a little worried.

"The protective plate has just landed on our protective layer. It looks like a superstorm is coming to us soon. I don't know the exact situation at the fortress. I hope we're all safe and sound!"

Over the next period of time, loud noises continued to come from outside, clearly indicating that various objects carried by the superstorm had landed on the concrete layer outside their house.

Fortunately, the concrete that Lu Yuan poured on it was as thick as five meters. With such a depth, it was practically impossible for a superstorm to overturn it.

It was very late when Lu Yuan finally went back to his room to sleep.

While sleeping, Lu Yuan felt uneasy, so he went to the outer protective layer of the house again to check it and make sure there were no problems before returning to his room.

Xiao Shan had just put the child to sleep and taken him to her parents' house. After returning to bed, she looked at Lu Yuan.

Both of them showed a worried expression.

"I wonder if we can survive this superstorm."

Lu Yuan gently pulled Xiao Shan into his arms.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely get through this. The superstorm is right above us, so we should be fine!"

After they finished talking, the two chatted for a while longer before Xiaoshan quietly fell asleep.

Lu Yuan gently placed her on the pillow, covered her with the blanket, and felt a surge of annoyance.

Unable to fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned in bed, Lu Yuan finally got up and went to the next room.

I turned on my computer and tried to watch some movies I had saved earlier, but I couldn't get into them at all.

He had only one thought in his mind: when would the superstorm be over?

Just then, a series of beeping sounds came from the computer monitor next to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan quickly took off his headphones and turned to look.

A low-pressure alarm sounded from the computer screen.

"Huh? The oxygen concentration in the air is decreasing? What's going on?"

Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised. After searching the computer, he discovered that the oxygen content in the entire house was gradually decreasing, and the carbon dioxide concentration had exceeded the threshold and was soaring.

"Didn't I already turn on the oxygen supply system? How could the carbon dioxide concentration still be dropping?"

Lu Yuan was a little confused, so he left the room and went to the air quality testing instrument.

After a routine check, it was found that there was no problem with the instrument.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, feeling a bit of tightness in his chest.

Lu Yuan then realized that the reason he couldn't fall asleep when he went to bed was probably because of the chest tightness caused by the decrease in oxygen levels.

So he quickly went to the equipment control room.

All the equipment and control systems for the house are located inside.

It contains air filters and various air purification devices. Anything from outside the room must undergo filtration here before being allowed into the room.

After inspecting the air filtration equipment, Lu Yuan discovered that the air filtration system seemed to have stopped working.

He quickly checked and discovered that the air filtration system had stopped working because no air was entering.

No outside air can enter the filter, causing the air filtration system to stop working.

"What on earth is going on? Right, let's check the atmospheric pressure!"

So, Lu Yuan quickly ran into the control room and opened the pressure sensor panel.

Only then did Lu Yuan realize that the air pressure in the outside space was several times lower than the normal value. He immediately understood that this was because the superstorm had caused the air pressure inside the room to be much higher than the outside air pressure.

This prevents outside air from being drawn into the filter, causing the air filtration system to stop working.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan felt a sudden chill in his heart.

When a superstorm hits, it sucks all the air away from the surrounding area.

It could even create a super negative pressure situation, making it almost impossible for people to breathe in it.

Just then, Lu Yuan suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from afar.

With a loud bang, it seemed as if their entire house was shaking.

The family members were immediately awakened by the loud tremor.

Xiao Shan woke up immediately upon hearing the child crying and ran quickly towards Lu Ma's room.

The child was crying incessantly, his face flushed red, and Lu's mother was desperately trying to soothe him.

Seeing Xiaoshan come over, Lu's mother said apologetically.

"Xiaoshan, the child keeps crying and we've tried to soothe her for a long time but haven't been able to get her to sleep! Is she sick? Her little face is all red, and we just checked her temperature, but it's normal!"

Xiao Shan also looked nervous and quickly took the child. She immediately felt the child crying loudly, as if the child was crying because he was feeling suffocated and uncomfortable.

Just when they were at their wits' end, Lu Yuan rushed over.

On the way, Lu Yuan even went to the basement and took out a box of portable oxygen cylinders.

When Lu's father saw Lu Yuan coming, he quickly chased after him.

"We're looking for you! The child keeps crying and seems very uncomfortable! Where are the golden fruits? Bring them over right away!"
