"Damn it! How can I not be hungry?" grumbled Hu Dashan, "Just this little food, it's not even enough to fill a tooth gap! I don't see how much food he has stashed in that glove of his. If your team destroys our drone again tomorrow, I'm certain I'll starve to death before you!"
Tan Xiao quickly added, "Untie me and I promise I won't touch your drones!"
Hu Dashan glanced at him with a complex look, murmuring, "Just go to sleep."
He then walked alone to the entrance of the cave to keep watch for the night.
Unwilling to give up, Tan Xiao tried to wear down his bonds by rubbing them against the jagged rocks. But the ropes were thick and tight. Despite his efforts, the ropes wouldn't loosen and he was left panting and worn out, his wounds beginning to split open further.
Tan Xiao ran out of ideas, fought to stay awake for a while, and finally fell asleep...

At night, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were observing the situation from a hillside.
