If you can see it, the logo is on the bottom of the water, and the direction is very good. I can't see it in the end, it is easy to lose the sense of direction. I listened to others to introduce some experience, but the psychology is still a bit bottomless. But it doesn't matter. The focus is on the goal. My goal is to successfully take the water at the end of Wuchang. "
