The chamber had no windows or doors on any side, except for the passage they had come from—

Thump, thump, thump, Wei Li's heartbeat was like a drum, his breaths coming in rapid succession.
Standing beside him, Chen Xu could clearly hear his heartbeat even without consciously enhancing his hearing.
Thump, thump, thump…
