Oppression. Impact. Chaos.
Li Wei felt like a canoe in the stormy ocean, with no resistance, merely bobbing up and down with the furious waves.
Always on the brink of overturning.
Danger.
Danger danger danger!
The moment he felt the leather texture of the football in his arms, Li Wei could feel the viper-like gazes locking onto him, his hunter/prey instincts awakening; but crucially, the tactical shift from a quick short pass to a ground run didn't allow Li Wei enough time to adjust.
At that moment, Li Wei felt like he had seen this scene before, probably in some escape room movie—
Waking up from unconsciousness, without having time to figure out what was happening, walls were closing in from all directions, the oncoming sense of oppression triggered a full adrenaline rush. If he didn't want to be crushed into a pancake, he had to go into survival mode immediately, wasting not a single second.
The more dangerous it was, the more he needed to stay calm.
