SWNOVELS Chapter CHAPTER 158
Chapter 158 The Island Is Going to Collapse
What factors can cause the soil structure underground to become loose?
Before we built the wine cellar on the basement level, we had to apply a very tight waterproof coating.

The soil structure outside might have loosened if water can still seep in. A waterproof coating can temporarily prevent water, but not forever. It's been several years since the island was renovated. Could it be time for a reevaluation?
Benson felt that something was amiss and quickly went upstairs to investigate what was happening.
Hattie stood on the steps with a look of disdain.
She hadn't yet realised the seriousness of the situation and instructed the servants, "Hurry up! These wines are costly!"
Previously, Hannah often hosted guests from the circle on this island. The wines stored here are worth at least thousands of dollars, approaching millions.
After speaking, Hattie also turned and went upstairs.
It was early morning, and her mood was as bad as this weather.
After being on the island for over a month, it's really annoying that the heavy rain decides to start now.
Encountering Violeta is never a good sign.
What a streak of bad luck!
With no servants to prepare breakfast, Hattie had to make do with some bread and milk she found in the refrigerator.
Then she sat on the sofa and browsed the internet on her phone.
Benson investigated upstairs, first looking into the previous situation on the island and then calling Hannah to verify.
Unfortunately, Hannah had already started filming and didn't answer the phone.
Benson wasn't a geography expert, but his intuition told him this island should be fine without such issues. There must be something wrong somewhere. Could they not have done it properly during the previous renovation?
But even if it was a matter of incomplete renovation, it shouldn't result in water leakage.

Benson glanced at the heavy rain outside, and a bad feeling crept over him. If it's already leaking now, what will happen to this island if the downpour continues? They didn't have a yacht like the Dawn to escape the island!
Benson came downstairs, and when Hattie saw him, she asked in a relaxed tone, "Benson, what's going on? Did you find out why there's a leak?"

to last?"
Hattie replied, "Okay."
She quickly checked on her phone. "It's going to continue for another week."
"Another week?"
Benson's heart sank at once,

Hattie sensed something was wrong with Benson's tone and hurriedly asked, "Benson, what's wrong?" Hattie sensed something was wrong with Beuson's tone a
Benson walked up and poured himself a glass of water. Then, he calmly said to her, "Hattie, what I'm about to tell you next is all speculation on my part. Please don't get upset." "Yeah, tell me."
"I suspect that this island is going to collapse."
Hattie was shocked.
"What?"
Hattie was shocked, and she stood up from the sofa, exclaiming, "How can this be happening? It can't be true. This is an island! It's not like a tall building! How could it collapse?"
Benson knew she would react like this. He sighed helplessly, "I told you, it's just my speculation. Why are you getting so worked up?
"You know this is an island, so what's leaking in the basement?"
Hattie asked, "Seawater?"
Benson continued, "How could seawater leak into the basement? This indicates that the soil structure underground has completely loosened. The waterproof coating we applied before is no longer effective, so it leaks. If the underground is already leaking, it means that the geological structure of our island has changed completely, and collapse ... is very likely to happen."
Benson's words left Hattie completely stunned.
"Benson ...
"If the island collapses, then aren't we... aren't we....
"Aren't we at risk of dying at any moment?!"
On the other side.
Violeta and the others finished breakfast and headed to the esports room to get acquainted.
Hayden realised it was too late to create a new registered account, so he spent several thousand dollars to buy a fully equipped account, then spent more money to delete all the records from the account and play
with them.

"Hade, you don't even understand the rules. Why don't you go through the beginner training first?"
Hayden remained silent.
Violeta sequentially opened their game profiles and took a glance.
Zoren and the others were all pretty good. Although they didn't have a lot of matches under their belts, their win rates with their commonly used heroes were all above 75%.
Jasper, like Violeta, was a hexagon warrior and proficient in every position.
Liam excelled at playing top lane, while Zoren preferred the mid lane.
They first allocated their positions, with Violeta in the jungle, Jasper as the marksman, Liam in the top lane, Zoren in the mid lane, and Hayden in the support role.
Hayden went to familiarise himself with the heroes.
Violeta and the other four opened a room to play a match.
Since he was playing the support position, Hayden familiarised himself with the abilities of every support hero once, then exited the training camp and checked Violeta's profile. Then he looked up some tutorials online, going through them all roughly. He almost remembered everything.
