Shang didn't know how long he remained here, and he didn't care.
The stillness of the water around him soothed his mind, and he felt like being here was the right thing to do. He didn't know why, but that was what he felt.
After an unknown amount of time, Shang opened his right eye again.
He felt like he knew the lake better now.
'I should continue,' he thought.
Then, Shang continued descending.
Why was he descending?
There was a reason for it.
After another two minutes, Shang felt something other than water touch him.
He extended his hands and felt the sand.
'Finally,' he thought.
'I'm probably over 1.5 kilometers deep in the lake, but I only feel sand now.'
Shang was sure that the lake had to have a deepest point, and he was also sure that the deepest part would not be that close to the border of the Zone.
