Chapter 131: Liu Xiaotian's Decision!

Perhaps it was Liu Xiaotian's killing intent that truly frightened that guy, or perhaps the blood on his body made him clearly realize that if he didn't do as Liu Xiaotian said, he'd become a corpse in the next second. In any case, this unlucky fellow didn't play tricks; he led Liu Xiaotian all the way to Xiezi's temporary stronghold.

At the same time, in a mountain cave, the captured Action Team soldiers were each tied to wooden stakes deeply buried underground.

He Chen Guang and Cha Cai fared the worst, being directly soaked in a naturally formed spring deep in the cave.

That spring water was indeed clear and sweet, and the two had already drunk their fill.

But… it's damn cold! The spring isn't deep, only about a meter or so.

But they weren't allowed to stand! Their hands behind their backs were tied together with their feet in reverse, making it impossible to stand up.

If it weren't for a rope tied to their shoulders pulling them up so their heads wouldn't submerge, they'd probably be floating by now.

"But you have to go through a 230‑meter enclosed water current, during which you won't get any air; the estimated time is four minutes forty‑five seconds."

in one, one look `no, one wrong version%！'

Xiezi sat on one side, and sitting on the other side was none other than Lin Yuan.

But if we wait until that time, Lin Yuan will surely not survive.

However, this rule was set by Xiezi.

"sri, 700 meters to the left front, there is a water source connected to the cave interior."

Perhaps Liu Xiaotian should thank the Warrior School for choosing this rifle as their weapon, since ordinary assault rifles cannot be fitted with a scope.

Now he has taken out that 3× scope from his backpack and, with Jiaweis's help, finished adjusting it; he is now observing the situation at the cave mouth.

Seeing Lin Yuan hesitating to pick up the gun, Xiezi laughed and said mockingly:

"Jiaweis, detect whether there are any other entrances to the cave ahead!" Liu Xiaotian said to himself.

But I want to remind you, you'd better hurry; otherwise I'm afraid some of them won't last until then.

He reached out and picked up the revolver, loaded two rounds into it, then cycled the cylinder and pushed the gun toward Lin Yuan: "Now, fire three shots at yourself; if you're lucky enough, I'll let you go."

Lin Yuan hesitated and wavered, not daring to reach for the revolver.

But no matter how lucky, it merely prolongs a limited time.

As he spoke, a guy standing beside Lin Yuan immediately pressed the loaded, safety‑off pistol in his hand against Lin Yuan's temple.

At that moment, on a tree more than seventy meters outside the cave, a gun barrel was already aimed here.

It's not that he's cowardly; under these rules and circumstances, anyone might not dare to actually pick up a gun.

Just like in the "plot," Xiezi was preparing to play "Revolver D" with Lin Yuan.

Just from a probability standpoint, shooting oneself offers a much better chance of temporarily surviving than shooting directly at Xiezi.

Three seconds later, Jiaweis's voice sounded:

At least, facing such a "game," they truly have the courage to go one‑on‑one with a single shot. Moreover, the three‑bullet game can be played ten times; as long as you have courage and enough luck, you can save ten of them.

Near the cave entrance, Xiezi's underlings piled stones into a makeshift table, on which lay a revolver.

Those who are truly "tough" are not just harsh toward others; they are the same toward themselves.

Moreover, under these rules, is this even "Revolver D"? This damn thing is clearly just playing with people. From this perspective, Xiezi really isn't a "tough guy."

Lin Yuan instinctively glanced at the soldiers tied to the stakes; although their mouths were gagged and they couldn't speak, their expressions showed they were enduring great pain! Lin Yuan's right hand finally lifted slowly, reaching for the revolver placed before him…

But Liu Xiaotian hadn't even had time to feel relieved when he heard Jiaweis continue:

The situation is already quite clear; Xiezi has no intention of letting them go.

Either he finds a way to sneak into the cave, silently rescue a few of them, and together take down Xiezi and his men; or he stays put here and waits for the Warrior School people to discover the crashed plane, see the message he left, and follow his markers to this place.

Due to insufficient light inside the cave, Liu Xiaotian couldn't see where Xiezi was now; to save people, he could only think of a way to sneak in.

Of course, you could also shoot at me; that would give you one chance to kill me, but you wouldn't survive yourself.

Whether shooting at oneself or at Xiezi, no one dares.

This damn…

Not to mention Lin Yuan; even if you brought the Warrior School's Chief Instructor here, he'd have no chance to kill Xiezi before his own skull blew apart! After all, no matter how fast you move, can you out‑flick someone's finger?

Moreover, he doesn't believe that relying solely on his own strength could match Xiezi and his dozens of henchmen.

Liu Xiaotian: ……

Moreover, you also need to be fast, because…

He Chen Guang and Cha Cai were soaked in the icy spring, occasionally taking a sip; the other soldiers tied to the stakes had almost from the moment they were bound been getting beaten. In ten‑odd minutes, at least three of them had ribs broken from the blows of Xiezi's men, yet the other side showed no intention of stopping.

He paused, then added: "This way, I'll give you an extra chip; if you fire three shots at yourself and don't die, you may freely designate one of those tied to the stakes, and I'll release him immediately."

Four minutes forty‑five seconds without breathing—he doesn't think his current lung capacity is up to it.

But what about Xiezi? He's just a guy who's brutal to others but actually cowardly.

"How come? The Warrior School people don't even have this much courage? You're not their superior? If you don't dare, what hope do they have?"

In theory, a healthy young person can hold their breath for three minutes.

But that's just a figure; in fact, many people can't even last two minutes.

Liu Xiaotian has so far received no professional training in underwater breath‑holding; four minutes forty‑five seconds…

After observing a while longer, Liu Xiaotian silently slid down from the tree and gave an icy glance at the guy who had once again been knocked out by him and tied to the tree.

He has decided to infiltrate the cave following the route given by Jiaweis!
