"You seem to know about the Earth's surface? Do you also come from the Earth's surface?" Lily sized up Charles.
"It's me asking you, not you asking me. When you came down, did anything unusual happen to the human world on the Earth's surface, like earthquakes or other disasters?" Charles forcefully took back the control of the conversation.
Lily shook her head, "At least before I was captured, nothing had happened; everything was normal, but it's also hard to say."
"Since I was captured on the Earth's surface until I escaped from Earth Sea, that entire time, the Foundation didn't let me have any contact with the outside. Everything was sealed off, even the freighter that transported us test subjects down here was nothing more than an iron box."
"I also don't know why the Earth's surface has become this way."
"You said you were captured by the Foundation in 1991, so how old are you this year?" Charles's heart skipped a beat when he asked this.
