"Lin Xian, how much longer?"
The water has risen above everyone's knees in the corridor. Chen Sixuan stands in the water, looking at the dark depths beneath her feet, and can't help but frown.
"Almost there."
[Scanning progress 90%]
"Probably less than 10 minutes."
Lin Xian presses the communicator: "Everyone report your status."
"No issues here." Shu Qin Building responds, "But the water has already entered the elevator."
Shu Qin starts contacting in KIKI's direction using the communicator: "KIKI, Director Ding, how are you?"
Crackle~
The communicator emits a burst of static noise.
In the submersible's pressure relief chamber, KIKI hears the static in her headset and immediately sets down the submersible, saying to Ding Junyi, "They must be calling us, let's prepare to go back."
Ding Junyi looks at the already submerged research area and nods: "I'll download the project log and study it later."
