For a long while.
Perhaps it was the sound of a droplet, or maybe the cry of a bird.
That roused him from his meditation.
As if a century had passed.
And now his mood had returned to a state of calm.
Still as an ancient well, natural and peaceful.
Hu——
Li Yu exhaled slowly.
He got up from the cushion, taking two minutes to disengage from that atmosphere.
Sense of smell, touch, taste, hearing, all fell into place.
After shutting off the virtual suit, he walked out of this room.
Back in his own room, he saw that the clock read 5:58.
Li Yu took out the walkie-talkie and spoke to Yang Tianlong, who was on duty today: "Tianlong, what's the current surface temperature outside?"
Yang Tianlong, upon hearing the noise, checked the instrument monitoring the surface temperature. What he saw left him dumbfounded.
He replied with alarm: "Xiao Yu, the surface temperature has reached 87 degrees!"
87 degrees!
