"Hold on a moment..." Mei looks at her cuffed hand, then back up to the others with a worried look, "I realize this is a recurring thing, but how the fuck is this going to work?"

She turns to Juanli, "You're asking the wrong person! It's not exactly up to me!"

“You still want to call me the crazy one?!” Mao shouted at Juanli.

“We need to jump to the other tower—the distance is too far a gap so we either find a way to bridge it. Failing that... we may need to hope the tower falling closes the distance somewhat.”

Dr. Uwem seems stumped on how the grenades seems significantly, given that one of the images on the safe is a grenade.

"Well, we need to use the grenades in some way to get part of the code... But in what way? Any ideas?" The doctor asked as he thinks to think of a way.

"... I can't make a jump like that if I'm handcuffed, so we need to get closer to the other watchtower. So... if we... blow up the legs to make this tower fall towards the other... no, that's fucking stupid." Mei bites on her thumb's fingernail, "We're better off just talking to him."

Juanli came EXTREMELY close to slapping Mao but restrained herself.

A bit.

"YES! YOU POMPOUS FOOL! IF YOU HADN'T PEDDLED YOUR ACCURSED DELUSIONS ABOUT MISS MEI WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS SITUATION! WE'D BE CATCHING UP WITH YOUR WIFE AND MY SON RIGHT NOW IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR YOU!"

She paused and took a breath.

"Did you REALLY throw away the key General? At this point, you'll need to release Miss Mei or you'll die, because I'm not sure you can both handle this while handcuffed. You must see the logic in that."

“Release her? And then what? He kills us all, that’s all that’ll happen.” Mao waves off Juanli. “Ive seen prisoners of war in these cuffs too, they’re not going to break by blunt force. Lucian and I have been in these long enough where we can make this jump lockstep.”

The grenade idea certainly seemed promising, but it seemed incomplete. Like a blunderbuss away from being perfect.

Juanli rolls her eyes and snatches the harpoon from him "I didn't mean just hand her over you swine! I meant so you could make this transition easier." She spat before shooting the harpoon over to the other tower to make a zipline. "Because if it doesn't hold both of your weight, and it's certainly not designed for that then you are both dead, which at this point seems preferable!" she mutters while she attempts to secure the line at her end pinning it under the cabinets as a counterweight.

“We will be just fine—my trusty harpoon has never failed me.” Mao huffed. “I’m more concerned if it could hold your weight.”

After that savage burn, Mao stripped a shoulder off of each of two vests so he could somehow put one on him and Mei (unless this isn’t possible then ignore). He then gently picked Mei up and put her over the cable. With the chain now resting on the zipline, he made sure Mei was ready and then slid across.

After Mao does whatever the heck he’s attempting to do, he jumps on the zip line with Mei, recently secured under the cabinets by Juanli. The two slide down suspended by the chain, which threatens to pull their hands clean off, and then fall face-first in a pile of ash in the other guard tower. The two of them succeeded in getting across!

The other guard tower is in a much worse condition than the original one. The hole blown in the side is fortunately positioned in a spot where Taikong can’t shoot at them, though half the room has practically collapsed. The computer that was supposed to be here lies smashed on the floor. The only clear exit is through a hatch in the corner.

There is nothing on the smashed computer.

The hatch is locked. A small recess in the surface seems made to fit several sigils resting nearby. It seems the group will need to slot them all in to open it.

Mao displays the puzzle above his head, communicating the exact shapes to the distant group. Just in case somebody solved it before him. He will still attempt to, I promise.

Fujisaki eyes the puzzle and puts a hand to his chin, thinking, as well as ignoring the C4 on the tower he's on after realizing that one armed ziplining while injured might not be the best idea.

Somehow, someway he manages to verbally say the solution to Mao that makes any sort of sense. "I might be mistaken somewhere, but that should be correct." He concludes.

Fujisaki shouts the solution to Mao from the other tower. He somehow hears it, understands it, and slots in all the pieces correctly. This opens up the hatch, revealing stairs heading deeper into the second guard tower...

Maybe it would be good to get everyone over before continuing, but this ridiculousness can go on if it has to.

Fujisaki takes a deep breath before grabbing something nearby that'd allow him to zipline across with one arm and does just that. He feels a sudden urge to push Mao off the tower but realizes that killing him probably shouldn't happen this timeline.

He decides to investigate the lower part of the guard tower instead.

Ignoring the misogynistic jab from Mao and looking FABULOUS all things considered, Juanli adjusts the strap on her handbag, unfastening it and throwing it over the zipline before resecuring it. She then leaps from the tower to zoom across to the other one.

Realizing that the others are at the other tower, Dr. Uwem shrugs his shoulder before he considers his options of ziplining to the other tower. He knows that Taikong is going to blow up the tower soon.

Shaking his head, the doctor finds an option that would get him to the other tower safe and sound and used that option to zipline to the other tower.

Mei stands up from the ashy ground, coughing into her palm and cursing under her breath, "Why does this have to happen when we leave?" She complains, while Mao puts in the solution. Just as he finishes up, she decides to try going down as well, after Fujisaki.

The entire group lands in the other guard tower just as Taikong detonates the C4. The first guard tower explodes and collapses to the ground dramatically, launching a cloud of dust into the air.

The group lets out a sigh of relief, thankful that they weren't in the other tower.

"Mei! Watch out!" Taikong suddenly screams.

Three grenades fly from outside and land on the floor of the Guard Tower. The pins have been removed. They could explode at any second! The group needs to act fast.

TIME TO DECIDE!
>Try to knock the grenades down deeper into the Guard Tower
>Try to throw the grenades outside

Meanwhile, Fujisaki heads down the stairs. He finds his passage blocked by a massive grey door with a doodle of a dragon scrawled on it. A riddle is printed in Chinese with a space to enter a 9-letter code.

Spoiler: The Dragon's Riddle
Some will use me, while others will not, some have remembered, while others have forgot. For profit or gain, I'm used expertly, I can't be picked off the ground or tossed into the sea. Only gained from patience and time, can you unravel my rhyme? What am I?

“Heh, I’ve heard this one before!” The General scooped up one of the grenades in his free hand. “So I’ll use what I’ve gained on the battlefield after much patience and time—“ Mao tossed the grenade towards Taikong, “My KNOWLEDGE!”

Mei was about to shout something in response, but seeing Juanli swat a grenade away, she picks one up and hastily lobs it away, trying to instead not target Taikong.

Juanli throws the first grenade out, while Mao throws the second one. They both head for the third one as Mei lifts it, but accidentally crash into each other and kick it down to the landing where Fujisaki is. Tired from his bullet wound, he sits down on the grenade like a chicken nurturing a deadly egg. The two scream in horror, waiting for the explosion to go off and...

Nothing happens.

"Were all of those grenades duds?" Mao asks.

It seems Mao may be right, because no matter how long their wait, nothing explodes. It certainly gave them a scare though.

Mao heads downstairs to put in his answer to the riddle. It works, and the door opens.

Sun Taikong caught the dud grenade that Mao threw back. It was like he was playing Catch with his dad.

His duds had done their job, at least, causing more chaos in the other group. He looked around at the rest of the equipment he'd taken, planning his next attack.

Mei and Mao head down the stairs and find their exit blocked by another hefty door. To open it, they’ll have to solve the puzzle printed on its surface—and it looks like a real “killer”.

BANG!

A bullet strikes Mao in the chest. The group turns to the right and spots Taikong climbing in through a tight gap in the boarded wall.

“I knew that puzzle would hold you up,” Taikong says, smiling. “Face it, General, you’re not as much of a genius as you think you are.”

BANG! BANG!

Taikong fires two more shots, and Mao collapses to the floor.

“Know your enemy’s weaknesses. That’s what you always told me, huh, sir?”

He turns around, locking eyes with the injured Fujisaki.

“You’re still alive?” he asks.

BANG! BANG! BANG-BANG!

BAD END

————————

“There’s no way we can solve this!” Mao shouts, staring at the killer sudoku puzzle. “There must be another solution here…”

Juanli grabbed the second hammer which someone had used to zipline over presumably and swung it hard at the centre of the puzzle.

Amandi examines the dud grenade under Fujisaki's ass. He finds a slip of paper stuffed inside with two letters printed on it—X and N.

Juanli swings the second hammer at the center of the puzzle but misses completely and accidentally hits the center of the bottom-right panel, which she probably intended to hit anyway. With a loud screech, the panel is knocked backwards, the single remaining screw twisting in its socket. With a little more force, it would probably give way. The group still has the weapons from the other tower too...

“Cover your ears everyone.” Mao warns. He fires the blunderbuss at the puzzle tile. Mei isn’t able to cover one of her ears because of his tight two-handed grip on the gun.

"I think we might need to have some distance between us and this killer sudoku, if we're going to use the grenades..." Dr. Uwem said as he looks at the killer sudoku, noting the loose tile.
