Book 1: Chapter 155

I used a lot of logic to put pressure on Liu Sang, but I didn't say it very seriously. He remained silent for a while until reason finally overcame emotion. He started talking about some of the things that had happened after they took over here.

Liu Sang had stayed in the tulou the whole time, so after Uncle Two left and Xiao Hua's rescue team took over, he was in charge of the handover process. When the accident happened, Uncle Two's team had been divided into two groups. One stayed positive and thought that Poker-Face and Black Glasses had a good chance of survival, but rescuing them would be very difficult. The other group thought that there was only a small probability that the two of them would survive the resurgence. At that time, Liu Sang was in the positive group. He had heard countless echoes in the underground river cavity, which indicated that there were countless air pockets inside. If these pockets could be fully utilized, their chances of survival were very high.

I later learned that Liu Sang heard a very specific number of cavities at that time, which totaled a hundred and seventy-five. He had even calculated how long the air in each cavity could last. When he added all of the cavities up, he found that the air could sustain them for more than a month. His emotions were running high and he was getting desperate right now because that deadline was quickly approaching. But there was nothing he could do.

Based on Liu Sang's assessment, if Black Glasses and Poker-Face were still alive, then they mustve been moving from one cavity to another as soon as the oxygen ran out.

Xiao Hua decided on a plan very quickly. At this time, Boss Jiao had already started buying some of the people on the fifth floor with a lot of money, and the situation behind the black cloth was gradually revealed. Xiao Hua only told a few people about his plan. He used those who had been bought on the fifth floor to spread a false clue to the fourth floor that the entrance to the calling spring was in the mountains.

The people on the fourth floor had really been deceived since Xiao Hua had found a very well-hidden cave in the mountains. They explored the cave at that time and even brought some of those people who had been bought by the fourth floor. Xiao Hua then changed his appearance and went back to Boss Jiao to relay the information. After that, Boss Jiao led his team out secretively. I didnt know if Xiao Hua had also set off with the team, but he came to the conclusion that Boss Jiao had been fooled. As a result, he was going to seal the cave after Boss Jiao went in and try to negotiate again.

At that time, however, there was thunder in the sky and Boss Jiao didn't enter the cave. When he returned, he brought more than a dozen corpses back with him. They were all people Xiao Hua had tasked with sealing the cave.

There was a very elaborate scheme, which I only learned about later. All the team members who were supposed to seal the cave were actually people from the fourth floor who had been bought. Xiao Hua's plan was very clever, since it showed off his muscles and intelligence to the fourth floor. From the beginning, he thought that the plan to seal the cave wasnt foolproof, but he didnt expect that the fourth floor would kill his spies. This made him wary of the fourth floors perception, and he felt that there was something wrong with Boss Jiao and his teams behavior. He couldnt use ordinary logic to communicate and compete with those people.

Because of the previous strategy, Xiao Huas next move was very powerful. He took his whole team and snuck into the fake entrance, which emptied out the fifth floor. This made Boss Jiao skeptical: was this entrance the real entrance and Xiao Hua deliberately made him think that it was fake?
