On the big screen, Lin Yuan yanked open the escape hatch.
Clang!
Without looking back, he strode resolutely into the escape chamber and shut the hatch behind him.
"Flood it," Lin Yuan said, his voice calm and firm.
"Splash, splash—"

Inside the theater, the audience held their breath and stared tensely at the screen.
"Finally, this scene! The trailer cut off right after Lin Yuan closed the hatch. Now we can finally find out what happened next!" someone exclaimed softly.

"The escape chamber is a transition chamber, like an airlock on a space station. Haven't you watched any sci-fi movies?" the person beside them explained.
"How can the water be minus six degrees? Doesn't water freeze at zero?"
"That is the freezing point of pure water. Deep-sea water has a high salt content, and the high-pressure environment lowers its freezing point. Under extreme conditions, it can even reach more than ten degrees below zero."
"This is insane! Jack in Titanic froze to death in water that was only two or three degrees. Lin Yuan actually has to endure temperatures like this!"
