The rescue plan Wang Chen had set was quite straightforward.
First, let the man on the right with the most severe injuries go down.
Then, after Wang Chen had somewhat secured the iron pot, he would let Lei, the girl, descend.
Once Lei was down, the space would open up. With the aid of the man on the left, he could temporarily secure the iron pot,
and then, when he was ready to resist, he could allow the man on the left to descend as well,
Finally, based on the preparations Wang Chen had made earlier, there was roughly an eighty percent chance that he could escape with everyone before the snake appeared.
Throughout the process, he considered many unforeseen events, but he overlooked the most crucial point.
That is, people are selfish!
The man on the left didn't follow Wang Chen's plan.
Instead, as soon as the man on the right had slid halfway down, he suddenly let go of Lei and grabbed the rope to descend as well.
