Zhou Dana turned around and secretly let out a breath.
He didn't dare tell Zhao Kun the truth. He couldn't even come up with 20,000 yuan, let alone 200,000. He had invested all the money he had swindled from Zhou Ling and lost it all.
If Zhao Kun finds out that he lost all 300,000 yuan and is furious, it will definitely not be a good thing for him.
For now, it's best to keep it hidden as long as possible.
At least Zhao Kun was still thinking about planning their escape together.
As for what to do after leaving here, I can't worry about that for now.
Back with Wang Xiuhua, Zhou Dana instructed her not to reveal that they had lost all their money. Wang Xiuhua understood the implications and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."
Zhou Dana nodded. As long as they kept their mouths shut and kept Zhao Kun in the dark, Zhao Kun would continue to believe that there was still 200,000 left.
"What if that kid implements his plan without waiting for us to think it through?"
"We need to be careful."
Wang Xiuhua suddenly nudged Zhou Dana and whispered in his ear.
After hearing this, Zhou Dana frowned and thought it made sense. Zhao Kun had been trapped here for longer than them, and he had to wash other people's socks and underwear every day. To be honest, he was in a much worse situation than the couple. He thought about escaping day and night.
If Zhao Kun were to disregard martial ethics and their lives, they might very well miss their chance.
"Okay, let's each sleep separately, but don't sleep too soundly, and keep an eye on that kid's movements."
Zhou Dana gave instructions.
Wang Xiuhua nodded.
It was getting late, around midnight.
Only a few specks of moonlight pierced through the wooden planks, bringing a faint glow.
On the ground, large straw mats were laid out, and people were lying on them, many of them snoring loudly, which was a nightmare for people who had trouble sleeping.
Following Zhou Dana's instructions, Wang Xiuhua stayed awake, staring at the spot where Zhao Kun was sleeping. She didn't know how much time had passed, but her eyelids began to droop, and sleepiness washed over her. Just as she was about to drift off...
suddenly,
She noticed Zhao Kun tiptoeing up.
Wang Xiuhua suddenly perked up and immediately woke up Zhou Dana, gesturing for Zhao Kun to go to the kitchen.
About a minute later, Zhao Kun came out of the kitchen and went straight to the toilet.
The toilet door was closed.
Apart from Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, no one else noticed this scene.
"Was he just going to the toilet?"
What was he doing in the kitchen just now?
Wang Xiuhua was somewhat puzzled and muttered to herself in a low voice.
Zhou Dana was also a little confused, because Zhao Kun had told him about the plan before: to quietly set fire to the things in the house while everyone was asleep, and then, as the fire grew, force the leaders here to open the door, at which point they could leave in a legitimate way.
But he didn't see any flames.
Was he overthinking it?
"Old man, do you smell something strange?"
Wang Xiuhua sniffed and turned to ask.
During their conversation, Zhou Dana also caught a whiff of a strange smell that suddenly filled the air—it wasn't exactly foul, but it certainly wasn't pleasant either.
etc,
This smells familiar.
As Zhou Dana was searching his mind for the smell, his face suddenly froze. Just as Wang Xiuhua was about to utter the word "gas," Zhou Dana immediately covered her mouth.
"Quick, go to the toilet."
Zhou Dana knew what Zhao Kun was planning: to use the gas to poison everyone and then take the opportunity to leave.
They had to go to the toilet to breathe fresh air if they didn't want to get poisoned, because the toilet was the only place with open windows and ventilation.
No wonder Zhao Kun went into the toilet; he was trying to avoid being poisoned.
If he and Wang Xiuhua hadn't been careful, and were fast asleep like everyone else, they would most likely have been poisoned as well.
This kid has a lot of cunning ideas.
He actually thought of using this method, but isn't he afraid of killing people? If they all die from poisoning, that would be intentional homicide.
At this moment, Zhou Dana had mixed feelings, but the increasingly strong gas made it impossible for him to think about such things. He immediately grabbed Wang Xiuhua and headed straight for the toilet.
Zhao Kun had been listening to the sounds outside. When he heard someone come to the toilet door, he thought his plan had been exposed and discovered.
Only when he heard Zhou Dana's voice did he breathe a sigh of relief. To avoid the two of them ruining his plan, he had no choice but to open the door and let them in.
"Shh!"
Before Zhou Dana could speak, he complained about Zhao Kun's unauthorized actions. Zhao Kun immediately made a 'shh' gesture to silence him.
Zhou Dana knew that if they were discovered at this moment, the blame would fall on them, because no one would believe any excuse they made while the three of them were hiding in the toilet.
Right now, we're all in the same boat; we can't afford to make any mistakes.
About seven or eight minutes later,
Zhao Kun took a pair of underwear from the clothesline hanging overhead, wet them with water, and then covered his nose with them.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, and then they realized the purpose of doing so.
To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, use wet underwear as a mask for filtration.
However, the couple found it hard to accept using someone else's underwear as a mask.
"If you don't want to get poisoned and leave this place, you'd better do what I did."
Seeing the two hesitate, Zhao Kun, with a cold face, whispered a reminder.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua exchanged a glance, still suppressing their nausea, each took off a pair of underwear, wet them, and then put them on their noses.
Seeing this, Zhao Kun laughed inwardly.
