Spark's eyelids parted sluggishly. For a brief moment, he forgot where he was… but then the blurry visage of the same goddamn crystal lamp came into view, and he realized.
Ah… I'm still here… how long has it been, I wonder… days? Or could it have been weeks? The thought surfaced in his groggy mind. I wonder how Lie Yu and the others are faring… are they still alive? I think Bao'er said something about her grandpa coming to save them…
Once he reached this line of thought, he realized even if the grandfather came, how would he know where they were? One had to remember they were hundreds of feet underground, with an unassuming village at the very top. He felt pessimistic about the chance Bao'er's grandfather could find them.
