They had already dug to the top when they came in, attacking from the inside and then moving the marble aside. Now, however, they were attacking from the outside, and the marble wasn't as easy to pry up as they had imagined, requiring Su Jiu to put in a lot of effort.
Ning Qiluo had almost finished her calculations and felt confident. When she came to her senses, she noticed a lot of mud around her feet, which Su Jiusheng had pushed up when he was digging the tunnel.
He has dug far, but not deep, to save time.
Ning Qiluo asked him, "Su Jiusheng, is the shovel you're using expensive?"
Su Jiusheng took a moment from his busy schedule to reply: "It's not expensive, only five zeros."
"How about I buy one from you after we escape?"
"Of course! We're old acquaintances, I'll give you a discount!"
"..."
She wasn't lying, it really was just five zeros!
Ning Qiluo waited for Su Jiusheng to dig first. It seemed that he could dig out, so they wouldn't need to use Hooke's Law to pass through the wall. Passing through the wall using Hooke's Law is not easy and requires just as much effort as digging a hole.
She sat and waited, and eventually fell asleep next to him.
...
Ning Qiluo slept soundly. When she woke up, the room was quiet. Suddenly remembering that Su Jiusheng was still digging a hole, she quickly looked down at the ground.
...What a huge hole!
There was a lot of dirt piled up around it.
As expected of someone in civil engineering, their drilling skills are amazing.
Has Su Jiusheng already been dug out?
Ning Qiluo dug through the soil beside her legs, bent down, and whispered with her hands to her mouth, "Su Jiusheng, where are you digging?"
There was no response.
Ning Qiluo was afraid something might happen, so she prepared to go downstairs. Just as she moved, two footsteps approached her from behind: "Miss Ning, behave yourself. We'll send you back tomorrow."
Ning Qiluo: "..."
Should I send her back tomorrow?
Did her father and brothers pay a ransom to redeem her?
Ning Qiluo was pulled up by the two bodyguards. They were very polite to her and did not use any force. Even when they spoke to her, they were still very polite and tried their best not to frighten her.
Protecting the hostages is understandable.
However, the fact that they protected her as a hostage so well made Ning Qiluo very uneasy.
From the dark cave came Su Jiusheng's panting voice: "Ning Qiluo, it's done, I've broken through the cave."
It turns out that Jiangsu Province still exists.
Ning Qiluo immediately shouted, "Su..." Run!
Before she could utter the last two words, her mouth was tightly covered by a handkerchief by her bodyguard, and Ning Qiluo almost bit her tongue.
Su Jiusheng, who was in the burrow, did not hear Ning Qiluo's voice. Knowing that she had fallen asleep next to him while he was digging the burrow, he crawled back to call her.
As soon as he poked his head out, a dark gun barrel was pointed at his head.
Su Jiusheng: "..." Damn it!
Ning Qiluo, whose mouth was covered, was speechless.
I'm sorry, Su Jiusheng, you've suffered.
...
In another room.
This is already the third room that Ning Qiluo has been given.
Ning Qiluo is alright, but Su Jiusheng is not.
"What kind of luck is this? I had already dug the tunnel, and just because I came back to call you, it was all burned down." Su Jiusheng kept muttering and complaining.
Ning Qiluo felt guilty and dared not utter a word, letting Su Jiusheng complain as much as he wanted.
Su Jiusheng could only complain, unable to vent his anger. He came over and pointed at Ning Qiluo, nagging, "You said you'd be a cover, a cover while I sleep? If you had been watching closely, you might have escaped with me. Now look what's happened, the room has been changed, and the shovel has been confiscated."
