I would hide underground. During that time, it is unlikely that anyone would find us hiding underground. The soldiers would also feel that the place is stinky and smelly, so they won't go down and find us.There is no light coming form the drain and it is dark and therefore it is easier to hide too, as no one would be able to spot us.

I would need the matress as the place is too dirty to just sleep like that. Too, mainly canned food as that can last long and food would not get so rotten easily. A dim light to allow us to see. The dim light would also prevent the Japanese from seeing the bringht light and go underground.
