## Story

Not having any other choice, Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen start their usual procedure of finding out the code, while Hei Yanjing defends them from the corpse bugs. They activate the correct code and run but are stopped by the black haired monster again.

Hei Yanjing fights against it and throws himself and the monster down into the water unit that keeps the whole mechanism going, giving his friends more time to escape. He asks them to seal of the iron plate after them, even if he is still down there. Xie Yuchen is shocked by his friend's sacrifice and Wu Xie has to take him back up to save them from the still roaming corpse bugs. Wu Xie asks Xie Yuchen if he really wants to seal the plate, but Xie Yuchen says he trusts his friend's competence in escaping and making it out safely. They seal the mechanism and send a photo of the relief to the others.

This time, Huo Xiangu decides to deliver the photo personally. Back in the camp, Huo Xiuxiu tells her grandmother to take her with her and she ends up agreeing but puts special sleeping powder into Huo Xiuxiu's mask and tell her to wear it. She sends her back to the city and gets ready to enter the caves.

Just about to freeze, the Banai team is delighted to see the new additions coming to their rescue and delivering the photo with them. Xie Yuchen refuses to leave the relief room yet and continues taking photos while talking with Wu Xie. Suddenly he realizes something wrong with one of the relief stones. Zhang Qiling proceeds in entering the relief code into the third door, just when Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie make a shocking discovery: Too late, they realize one of the protruding stones was stopped by a small stone fragment. They hurry to contact the other team but when they finally arrive at the foot of the mountain they are notified the others already entered the wrong code.

Trying to convince Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi or Zhang Qiling might have noticed the error in the picture, Wu Xie disagrees. His friends would trust him unconditionally; they would not doubt the photo he sends them. Wu Xie realizes he might have send his best friends to their death.

Xie Yuchen orders his men to keep searching for Hei Yanjing around the mountain and after hearing Wu Xie talk about funding an expedition to find the others, he tells his friend to come to him when he is ready. After he returns to the city, Wu Xie meets with Pan Zi and some elders of the Wu clan and its business partners. He tries to convince them to help him fund an exploration to Banai to find the others but they use this opportunity to insult the Wu family and the missing Wu Sanxing. Wu Xie realizes he is helpless without his uncle, as well as how bad the situation is for Pan Zi who would give anything for the Wu family. He leaves Pan Zi a goodbye letter and leaves for his uncle's house. There he meets Xie Yuchen who asks him why he is so late.

They talk about what happened and Xie Yuchen proposes a risky solution to Wu Xie: Using the real looking face masks of Xie Yuchen, Wu Xie could pretend to be his uncle and get the funding he needs to save his friends. After initially refusing, Xie Yuchen makes it clear to him that this is his only choice and that this may be what Wu Sanxing originally planned for them. Wu Xie, wanting to save his friends and finally solve all this mystery, takes on his uncle's identity as Wu Sanxing.
