Matt delayed this news until the last, but when opening the lower layers, a drilling machine broke down near the dilapidated wall. On the morning of the twenty-fifth day of the expedition, while having breakfast, Ridge learned from Matthew about this dizzying discovery. Now he had to repair the device with them, which could allow him to learn even more significant secrets.

Hundreds of thousands of tiny holes were visible on the outer and inner parts of most of the visible remnants of the premises.
