Chapter 129: Cross the River Part 1

Buried under meters of oxygen-stealing dirt, Noe's life slips from his grasp. His ears absorb the sound of Eris shoveling towards him from above yet the sense does nothing to return Noe's vitality to him. It is as if Noe is trapped in a bubble, the outside separated from him by a thin layer he cannot penetrate through. 

Noe attempts to think his way out of impending doom. However, his brain, so used to a rush of excess oxygen, can barely function after ten seconds of deprivation. 

Weakened, Noe can only wait for death.

When fatigue stabs Daniel in the stomach, Daniel wrenches his eyes from the glass display cabinet and sprints out of the 'World Museum of Artifacts and Prominent Figures'. He knows that Noe is in trouble. 

Ravenously searching the domescrapers and cars with his eyes for clues, Daniel figures that the one thing capable of debilitating Noe is a lack of oxygen.
