The elevator rose slowly. About half a minute later, it shuddered lightly, and the guard ahead pulled open the metal railing, indicating that Su Xiao could leave.
Su Xiao followed the upward steps and eventually emerged through the open doorway, with Bubu Wang, A'Mu, and Baja close behind.
The roar of rushing water came through the thick pipeline walls, while a damp, moldy smell spread through the air. Looking around, Su Xiao saw a drainage ditch a hundred meters wide ahead, surrounded by dense, crisscrossing metal pipes covered in iron-red rust.
