Chapter 110: Successful Escape (1)_1
Night fell, and the bright moon rose high.
The previous meal had been spilled, and Shouzi prepared some steamed buns and porridge to bring to the iron gate. Tapping the gate with an iron spoon, he shouted inside, "Hurry up and eat. Once you’re done, you’ll be released."
Mo Yan and two other girls took the porridge and steamed buns through the crack in the door little by little, making chewing noises as if they were eating. After Shouzi walked away, they dumped everything in a corner. After a while, they gradually put the bowls back one by one.
"In a little while, we should pretend to be knocked out. When someone comes in, no matter who it is, we’ll knock them out first."
In the darkness, Mo Yan solemnly advised the others and repeated what they had to do next. She made sure there were no omissions before finally relaxing.
Every step had been carefully calculated. Considering the greed of the traffickers, they wouldn’t just watch all of them die of smallpox. Therefore, tonight those of them who had not been ’infected’ would surely be moved somewhere else.
To prevent their own people from getting infected, they would likely send only one person to do the job. The best way would be to knock them all out, but the porridge and steamed buns tonight were most likely tampered with, no matter what, she didn’t believe they were safe.
Close to fifteen minutes passed, and eighteen people fell to the ground haphazardly in line with their previous plan. Mo Yan lay beside some steps, with another girl in front of her.
The night was very quiet. Before long, Mo Yan heard footsteps, the steps of a single person.
Shouzi stopped outside for a moment and listened attentively. Seeing that the previously noisy dungeon was now completely silent, he took out his key, "click" unlocked the heavy padlock, and pushed the iron gate open and walked in.
