「Three in the morning.」
The sky was still dark. The people on the ship stared up into it in confusion. Aside from the sound, they saw nothing at all.
Hearing the racket grow louder overhead, everyone panicked and instinctively turned to Anna, their pillar of support.
Anna was also watching the commotion above, her heart filled with shock. Roy clearly hadn't sent any messages—so how did they find us? The AIS and all other positioning systems had been shut down. It should have been impossible to find them via satellite in the endless sea. If their technology were really that advanced, all those planes that disappeared at sea would have been found long ago.
And the timing was just too perfect—the exact moment she was about to make her move.
The thought of all her preparations going up in smoke filled Anna with intense frustration. I haven't even returned to Abyss-Sea yet! I can't die now!
