Chapter 271: Disguise and Escape
The man got the recording and seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at Xu Xiaoyue with an expression that he was angry but dared not say anything.
He swung the recorder in his hand again and again, "You said, the child and the mother."
“Who will he choose?”
It was a very nonsensical sentence, but Xu Xiaoyue still understood it.
She lowered her head to look at the slightly protruding belly, and her opinion of men dropped again.
What choices does a child who is not yet born or even only six months old have?
Is it possible that he can survive without the mother's body?
Medical technology in this era was obviously not so advanced, so the question asked by the man was purely to satisfy his own selfish desires.
The man didn't get angry even before waiting for Xu Xiaoyue's answer.
He curled his lips and smiled expressionlessly, like a demon from hell, "Stay here obediently. If I come back and find you missing, you know the consequences."
After saying that, the man splashed water on Shunzi next to him to wake him up, grabbed his hair and asked him to look after Xu Xiaoyue before he walked out.
Shunzi felt pain all over his body. He didn't understand why the boss just kicked him but it felt like he was run over by a truck.
Shunzi was angry but dared not say anything. He looked at Xu Xiaoyue angrily, but his behavior was much more obedient.
Xu Xiaoyue's palms were sweating. When Shunzi was awakened by the cold water just now, she was afraid that the man would find out that the knife on his body was missing.
Fortunately, Shunzi was even dumber than she thought. Apart from being a little confused, he didn't notice anything was wrong.
The two of them stared at each other in the room.
Xu Xiaoyue guessed that it was probably evening now, so she smiled ingratiatingly at Shunzi and said, "I'm hungry."
"Hungry? I hope you don't die of hunger."
Shunzi didn't forget that it was because of this woman that his boss kicked him without hesitation.
"Don't say that. I'm your boss's guest. He can't do anything without me."
"If you don't get me something to eat, I won't cooperate with him if he comes back later and I'll have you watch him then."
Shunzi snorted, looking nonchalant, but he was still calculating in his mind.
He just fainted and no one knows what this woman said to the boss.
However, judging from the boss's attitude towards her, he certainly didn't seem like he wanted to kill her to silence her.
Shunzi looked Xu Xiaoyue up and down, as if trying to figure out something.
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at the man and said in a pretentiously fierce tone, "What are you looking at? If you look at him again, I will tell him to dig out your eyes."
"you!"
Shunzi was so angry that he walked up and was about to slap the man twice. He raised his hands, but then put them down in mid-air.
This woman spoke with great vigor. He thought about it and realized that her hands were tied, so even if she wanted to run, she probably couldn't.
Thinking of this, Shunzi finally compromised.
"Wait."
He said that and limped to open the door.
The door in front of her blocked out the last bit of light for Xu Xiaoyue. After waiting for five or six minutes to make sure that there was no one outside, Xu Xiaoyue dared to turn her wrist.
She narrowed her eyes and planned in her mind.
Xu Xiaoyue supported herself on the floor with her hands and struggled to stand up. She staggered and groped her way to the place where the dagger was hidden before.
After finally finding the knife, Xu Xiaoyue tried hard to cut the hemp rope that bound her hands.
But she still overestimated her strength. After trying for a long time, she not only failed to cut the rope, but also hurt her hand.
Xu Xiaoyue estimated the height of the window and it was two meters.
As a pregnant woman with a baby, it was extremely unrealistic for her to escape through the window.
Xu Xiaoyue's gaze fell on the bench, where there was a pool of liquid medicine on the small bench.
She dragged the bench to the window, then stepped on it and climbed up to the windowsill. She used her head to prop up the window and forced a crack open.
The gap is not too big, just enough for a person to squeeze through.
After the window opened, Xu Xiaoyue jumped down and hid quietly behind the door.
Her heart was beating fast, and she only had the knife she had found in her hand.
Shunzi came back soon. He opened the door and didn't see Xu Xiaoyue.
He glanced around the room, his eyes immediately focused on the stool by the window.
Shunzi took a few steps forward and immediately saw two large shoe prints on the stool.
"Grass!"
Shunzi couldn't help but curse.
Xu Xiaoyue hid behind the door, and when the man walked to the window, she quietly slipped out from behind the door.
Just as she thought, this was indeed an abandoned warehouse.
Shunzi locked her in only because the warehouse inside had a door. The warehouse door outside had long been dilapidated by the erosion of rain and wind.
Xu Xiaoyue now had only one thought in her mind: she wanted to run.
Get out of this place first, then talk about other things.
She could no longer hear Shunzi's cursing, and the man must have gone out through the window she opened.
Xu Xiaoyue was barefoot. She was afraid that the prints of her shoes would expose her whereabouts, so she ran barefoot for a long time.
She had no direction, she just kept running.
The sun was setting and there were no street lights near the abandoned old warehouse.
Xu Xiaoyue was tired from running. She looked back at the location of the warehouse, gathered her breath, and ran desperately while dodging.
Perhaps it was the surge of adrenaline that made her run several kilometers.
It was already dark, with only a ray of light remaining on the horizon.
The crescent moon hung in the night sky, shining eerily on the ground.
The girl was thirsty and tired. Her body felt like it had been hollowed out. Her nerves were numb and she could no longer feel the pain.
Xu Xiaoyue tried hard to clear her mind. If she slept outside in this weather, she might freeze to death.
She found some shelter, a cave.
Xu Xiaoyue looked at the entrance of the cave again and again, and only after making sure that there were no other living creatures inside did she bend over and go in.
The stones in the cave are rough and rugged.
Xu Xiaoyue found a raised stone and rubbed it hard against her wrist several times.
Her wrists were rubbed and bleeding, and the rope finally loosened a little.
Fortunately, her wrists were thin, and she managed to get the rope off while struggling.
Only after the rope fell off did Xu Xiaoyue take a good look at the cave.
There were some dry firewood on the ground in the cave, and it looked like someone had lived there.
There was firewood, Xu Xiaoyue squatted down and searched for matches, but after searching for a long time, she only saw a flint.
Xu Xiaoyue only knew how to use a lighter, and was stunned when she saw the flint.
Thanks to the fact that she often watched short videos on the software on her mobile phone and a lot of extreme challenges of survival in the apocalypse, she could still recognize this thing.
