"So, we've all been a bit too optimistic before."
Lan Linger whispered a few words to the Scientist, then turned with a troubled expression to face Hao Qi and the others. "The data is in," she said. "The moisture in the soil has dropped by six percentage points compared to three days ago, and the water vapor content in the atmosphere is also continuing to decline. At the same time, the oxygen concentration in the air is dropping. However, the total volume of the atmosphere hasn't changed much, so our hypothesis is that after the shattering of the Yaxi Continent, all the water across the entire continent—whether fresh or saltwater—has gradually leaked out into the void, while the atmosphere has somehow remained, clinging to the Yaxi Continent."
Everyone more or less understood. Although they couldn't explain this bizarre phenomenon of the atmosphere staying put while water continuously bled out into the void, the implication was crystal clear: they were running out of water to drink.
