"Shit, both our choppers are down, that's our exit," Ryan commented and then realized something. Their concern is not that serious, their boss could literally summon helicopters from the system. But not everyone knows that.
"That's your way out? How are you going to get out of the city now?" Seo-yeon asked with a concerned tone.
"Calm down," Adrian said in an even voice. "There's no need to panic. We can still get out but not with those monsters roaming around. How long until that thing burrows again?"
Adrian asked, eyes already shifting back toward the window.
Seo-yeon didn't answer right away.
She was listening.
Not just with her ears.
Her whole posture changed slightly, like she was trying to feel it through the building.
"It doesn't stay up long," she said after a second. "When it surfaces like that, it doesn't linger. It strikes, then it goes back under."
Ryan frowned.
"How long?" he pressed.
"Minutes," she said. "Sometimes less."
Adrian nodded once.
