"It's an explosion!" Sheng Sheng said, "The explosion damaged the freezing system, causing the ice to melt. And because of the impact of the explosion, the temperature is too high, which is why the water is so hot."
As Sheng Sheng explained, he pondered over how an explosion could instantly melt all the ice, heating it up to fifty or sixty degrees—illustrating the power of the explosion, how immense it must have been.
Sheng Sheng speculated about what might have happened, "It should be someone rescuing us, and a gunfight broke out. Maimai, stay strong, we weren't frozen to death, and we definitely won't be boiled to death. There's always hope."
"But don't you realize this water is getting hotter and deeper?" Maimai took deep breaths, "I feel it's hard to breathe, Sheng Sheng. Do you think Dad really came to save us?"
"I hope so!"
He hoped they could all leave here alive.
