The space was running dangerously low on oxygen, and Shen Xian, who had fainted from the cold, woke up once again amidst the chill.
This time, her will to survive was even stronger; she had to make it out alive. She had Gu Chen, her grandmother, and so many other people and things she cared about. She couldn't just die here without explanation.
This time she didn't resort to brute force, but instead used her wits to repeatedly kick at the thinner areas of the ice blocks.
Finally, she managed to break a corner off the solid ice block.
With the sharp edge of a tuna can coming into view, she quickly shifted her body towards it, continually rubbing the coarse rope that bound her wrists against the sharp edge.
Since her hands were tied behind her back, she couldn't see what was happening behind her, and her hands and wrists were chafed in several places.
The sharp pain actually helped her stay more alert, and her intense desire to survive made her work very quickly.
