Chapter 7.3 - Underwater City

Heading down, the visibility got lower and lower, and so did the temperature. 

Having grown used to breathing normally underwater and moving with less effort, Adam began to feel the weight of the sea. 

Immersed in the pressure, the newbie started to feel tight. He could hear his heartbeat loud and clear, each pounding beat. 

Breathing slowly, he closed his eyes and focused on the sound of his breathing, his heartbeat decreasing. 

Meter after meter, the pressure began to dissipate. All he had to do was remain calm and trust his body. 

Once he opened his eyes, everything was clearer, including Calder and Shu, who were staring at him. 

Adam gave them a thumbs-up to reassure his partners, and they proceeded. 

From then on, he managed to speed up his pace to get to the city as fast as he could. 

They swam for hours, going fast and steady. Getting used to the pressure was a constant effort.
