At this moment, each breath of air I drew into my chest while on the surface of the water felt like pouring a copious amount of mustard directly down my throat.
As I swam, my eyes began to redden, and as I continued, my consciousness started to blur.
What was different from previous swimming experiences was that the water here was mixed with a large volume of other high-density liquids, giving the sensation of moving through a quagmire.
Add to that, quite a few people had been struck by ether, their bodies paralyzed, leaving them to slowly sink into the water before vanishing without a trace.
In the end, only five people made it to the White Cement Trestle Tower.
The half-blind Huang Qing, the relatively well-off Guo Feng, the lucky survivor Ji Yun, and a pair of cousins.
The five of them crawled out of the poisonous water, having lost the ability to speak.
Although Guo Feng seemed the healthiest, blood was now streaming from his eyes.
