They had finally caught up to us. The ti we had gambled for was reduced to a re five-hour advantage in the face of their strength. Only five hours. I didnt know which tower they ca down from, but all four towers would eventually lead here.
Moreover, I had no idea if the people waiting above had been discovered.
I knew this mont would eventually co, but I actually felt a little relieved now that Boss Jiao had caught up. I couldnt help thinking that this place was suddenly popular, and I had the sudden urge to open a bottle of beer and wait for them to co for a barbeque.
Fatty looked up and whispered to , "They won't be able to catch up with us for a while. Is there any way to know if Big Hua ca down together with them?"
"With his personality, if he has key information in his hand that he knows is dangerous for us, then hell co down. But if he thinks that Boss Jiao is just a weakling who's waiting to be slaughtered by us, then he must be playing on his phone up top," I said.
Xiao Hua didnt know our secret code, which had feeling a little regretful. But it wasnt like our code had a system. Even if I wanted to teach him, I could only do it by hand. But with how busy he was, it would be strange if he had ti to learn it.
I looked around. It was obvious that Boss Jiao had a master in his team and they were all well-equipped. And the fact that he could tease from up above ant that his team was in good condition. Based on my previous estimate, in addition to the ordinary guns they were carrying, he may have several automatic weapons at hand. No matter how powerful and amazing we were, thirty bullets shot from an AK above us would definitely kill us in an instant. Probably the only way to survive was to jump from here and hope that there was another hot spring below.
There was absolutely no possibility of a big ambush here, so these five hours would be a tid race between life and death.
Fatty looked at my expression and reminded , "Mr. Nave, they have enough ropes, so theyll probably descend quickly. We only have thirty minutes at most. Let's go quickly. Theres still a glimr of hope in the end."
I cursed in my heart, thats the gap between rich and poor. I didn't know that being poor was such a terrifying thing. It turns out that you still need to have so money when soone wants to fight you.
I looked down below, but couldn't fool myself. Even if we reached the bottom by the ti those thirty minutes were up, we didn't stand a chance of winning. I looked up above. At the fifteen minute mark, their cold fireworks would probably fall and it would be ti for us to run for our lives. At this ti, I noticed the back of the stone beams.
If Boss Jiaos team descended quickly, they definitely wouldnt co down step by step. If we could sohow affix ourselves to the back of the stone beams, they might just pass by us in an instant (unless they looked at the beams one by one). That way, we would fall behind them and gain a huge advantage. If we were truly despicable, we could even cut their ropes.
When I told Fatty what I thought, Black Glasses looked at the stone beams and said happily. "You and I will be fine, but Fatty can't hide like this."
Fatty looked at the opposite side, pointed his flashlight over there, and then said to us, "I can go to the other side." Based on our previous analysis, there should be a huge Buddha statue on the opposite stone wall. The Buddha statue on this level probably had a structure similar to the ones on the outer pagoda, but it might not necessarily be Buddhist. The flashlight only illuminated one part of it, revealing a bit of decorative pattern that I wasnt familiar with. It appeared to be made of human skin. "Do you think it's possible for us to hide inside of these statues. Wouldn't that also be a great approach?"
"The question is: How do you get over there?"
Fatty patted his bag, I have Kan Jian's parachute. There are so big holes in it, but its enough to get over there.
"Then how do you plan on getting back?"
Fatty patted his safety hook, "We dont have a rope, but we still have hooks. When they descend quickly, Ill jump on one of their ropes. The tower isnt that wide, so no matter where they co down from, I should be able to glide over and reach it."
****
Hmmm if Fatty has the parachute, seems like this "restart" didn't go as far back as so of us were thinking.
