04.13 A familiar abyss

9 days have passed since my return, and a total of 7 people have been successfully rescued. We can't reach everyone, but even so, there must be a way, or else it will be a complete failure. The easiest way would be to locate any working devices in the areas we don't have physical access to. If there is a chance, we can organize an expedition. There is no way I am letting this rescue mission go to waste. There must be a 100% success rate.

"XinYi." Someone called me out

"Hm?" It was LanXu. It's so late into the night, what is he doing down here in the panel room?

"Have you eaten anything?" He came here to ask me that?

"Yeah I had ramen." It was quite apparent actually, the whole room was littered with ramen cups.

"Are you .. still going to avoid it?" He entered the room and leaned against the table, standing in a familiar stance ..

"Avoid what?" I focused back on the screen.
