However, what answered him was dead silence, as if the commotion he had heard just now was just his imagination.

Xiao Zhou took a tentative step forward, and the sound of rapid breathing filled the entire building.

“Gang Zi, come out quickly!” As he said this, he held the gun in his hand and walked over with a trembling body.

Although he was usually boisterous around Brother Peng, he was more timid than anyone else at the critical moment. Even when he wanted to go to the toilet previously, he had to drag Brother Peng along with him.

He had forgotten his fear because he was too sleepy just now, but now, he had already woken up from the cold wind. His mind had long been paralyzed by the unknown fear.

His dragging footsteps kept rubbing against the dusty ground, leaving two clear footprints on the cement floor.

As he got closer to the wall, he suddenly smelled an extremely unpleasant stench in the air.

Following the smell, Xiao Zhou turned his head and saw three water stains on the wall. He didn’t need to think carefully to know what they were.

“Damn it, it stinks. He must be sick!”

He cursed and the fear in his heart subsided slightly. Instead, he became bolder. “Don’t hide anymore. I know you’re here. Come out quickly. Are you goofing off behind Brother Peng’s back again? Are you afraid that 1’11 complain about you?”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

Xiao Zhou was completely unafraid now. He walked slowly along the direction of the sound just now. When he was only a corner away from the back of the wall, he suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes with a wicked smile. “If you don’t come out, I’ll expose you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhou suddenly turned the corner. The smile on his face suddenly froze when he saw that there was no one around the corner.

A bone-chilling coldness suddenly enveloped him again, and his courage that had just been strengthened subsided.

He held the gun and stepped back slightly, but his body suddenly bumped into a warm object.

“Who is it?” He held the gun and was about to turn around immediately. Unexpectedly, a hand beat him to it and covered his mouth and nose tightly.

A tiny pill rolled down his throat. When it flowed down his throat, he almost choked on the pill. As he struggled, the pill finally rolled into his stomach.

Shi Man let go and stared coldly at the man who was retching non-stop. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Don’t waste your effort. This thing will melt in your body after you consume it. If you don’t have my antidote, you will immediately die from the poison in an hour!”

“Who are you! How did you get in!” Xiaozhou shouted with a flushed face. He saw the girl standing in front of him calmly raise her finger and make a quiet gesture with her lips.

“Don’t be so loud. If the people upstairs hear you, 1 won’t give you the antidote.”

Xiao Zhou’s originally flushed face turned pale because of her words. The blood on his face drained. “Are you here to save the little girl?”

Shi Man slowly took out her handkerchief and wiped her palm. “You don’t have to ask so much. Now, you just have to do one thing for me. After it’s done, I’ll give you the antidote.”

“Where did you come from?” Although Xiao Zhou’s face was still ferocious when he asked this, he was afraid that what Shi Man had just said was true. He subconsciously lowered his voice and looked like he did not have any aura.

This girl’s appearance was too strange.

They had already covered all the roads in front and behind the building with landmines. Even they did not plan to go out easily, but this girl had actually quietly arrived here and was only a step away from Boss. And they actually did not notice!

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhou couldn’t help but shiver.

This girl looked young, but since she had the ability to infiltrate this place, it meant that her background was definitely not simple.

It seemed that the disappearance of Gangzi and the other two was probably related to her.

Shi Man narrowed her eyes and said impatiently, “I told you, you don’t need to know so much. As long as you work for me obediently, you can live.”

“What do you want me to do? Moreover, how do 1 know that you’re not lying to me?” Xiao Zhou held the pistol tightly and looked at Shi Man.

He wanted to capture her and hand her to Boss when she was not paying attention before slowly getting the antidote from her.

But this was undoubtedly gambling with his own life.

Shi Man saw through his thoughts at a glance and smiled. “Since 1 came here without being discovered by you, you should know my ability. Besides, is there a need for me to spend so much effort to enter here just to feed you a piece of candy? Believe it or not, 1 don’t mind another life on my hands.”

“You killed Gangzi and the others?” The fear in Xiao Zhou’s eyes was almost impossible to hide.

He might not be a match for such a ruthless woman.. At the thought of this, he swallowed nervously and asked, “What do you want me to help you with?”
