"Are we… dead…?" After a brief silence, Hai Fu asked weakly in a low voice. Her consciousness had frozen at the moment the elevator dropped; now it was still pitch-black in front of her, and she couldn't quite figure out what was going on.
Li Yan let out a long breath; he'd finally recovered. He was also deeply guilty inside. He had been way too careless! They got lucky this time—otherwise the two of them might have died right here!
Just thinking of the elevator slamming into the ground, maybe even exploding, the best outcome would probably still have been both of them getting hurt.
Thinking it through carefully, Li Yan could more or less guess what was going on. The elevator maintenance crew had probably already arrived, and during the emergency repairs there'd been some kind of malfunction. The fact that it hadn't fallen all the way down should also be thanks to someone managing to regain control in time.
