By messaging Liu Jialin to verify whether something had happened to her, he could now basically confirm that the messages in the group were true.
Liu Jialin really was trapped deep inside the underground cave and had no way to contact the outside world.
Lin Li gripped his phone, deeply worried about her current situation.
The Ability Management Bureau had already deployed a large number of elite investigators to surround the underground cave and had explicitly ordered that temporary workers were not needed for support for the time being.
Even though he was burning with anxiety and wanted to help at the scene, he had no way to get near the underground cave and could only wait patiently.
"Ugh... I hope she can hold on safely and get out of there."
Lin Li let out a long sigh and helplessly set his phone on the coffee table beside him.
Things had reached this point. No amount of anxiety or worry would help; all he could do was wait for the official rescue results.
But on second thought, Liu Jialin was no weakling and had plenty of combat experience. Even in a desperate situation, she surely had ways to protect herself. Her chances of survival were still quite high.
Suppressing the worry and distracting thoughts in his heart, Lin Li quickly composed himself, rose to his feet, and headed for the bathroom.
Meanwhile, at the underground cave outside the safe zone, the situation had completely reached a stalemate.
The entire area had been sealed off and tightly surrounded by dozens of fully armed investigators. Everyone had been split into several combat squads, taking turns charging into the underground cave to clear out the beasts without a moment's rest.
"Squads Four and Five have fully withdrawn," an on-duty investigator shouted in announcement.
