In fact, even Ren Xiaosu did not know that carbon monoxide poisoning could occur in a vehicle if it was idling for an extended period of time. It would be fine if they were awake, but if they fell asleep, they might not wake up again.
When Li Ran heard what Zhou Yingxue said, she immediately woke up the others. Everyone got out of the vehicles while shivering in the cold wind. Several of the people in the vehicles were already showing obvious signs of discomfort.
Carbon monoxide poisoning was very uncomfortable. Everyone was wrapped in their clothes as they sat in the wilderness. When a gust of cold wind blew past, it chilled their bones.
Ren Xiaosu asked Zhou Yingxue curiously, "How did you know about something like that?"
"I often used this method when I caused accidental deaths in the past. But at that time, I still had to resort to other means." Zhou Yingxue said with a smile, "After all, I don't like seeing blood."
Only then did Ren Xiaosu realize she was not just a gluttonous maidservant, but a real former intelligence agent who was good at assassination, infiltration, and intelligence gathering.
Li Ran slowly moved over to the campfire and sat down. But to his surprise, she did not question Zhou Yingxue why she did not warn her earlier. Instead, she thanked her softly.
Zhou Yingxue said with a smile, "You're welcome. Then she got ready to go into the tent to sleep. Li Ran asked," Can I sleep in the same tent as you? "
Zhou Yingxue said, "But there's no such stipulation in the contract. The tent isn't that big anyway."
But this time, Li Ran was unusually calm. "Then do you remember that there's a clause in the contract that says you can't sleep earlier than your employer?"
Zhou Yingxue was stunned. Was that even possible?
She thought for a moment and said, "It's fine, I won't sleep then!"
Ren Xiaosu sighed. A battle between women was indeed a battle where both sides suffered. It would have been great if both of them had gone into the tent to sleep. The tent was definitely enough for both of them, but the two of them just had to sit by the campfire and waste their time.
Ren Xiaosu didn't care. He was just reading a book next to the campfire. He couldn't sleep now. Since someone had scattered nails on the road, there must be a follow-up plan. Whether it was to sell tires or something else, Ren Xiaosu decided to deal with this matter first.
Li Ran casually sized up Ren Xiaosu. She realized the book Ren Xiaosu was reading was extremely uncommon. The title of the book was "The Golden Age."
"Whose book is this? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Li Ran asked.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at her. "This is a book from before the Cataclysm. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Li Ran did not say another word. She looked at Ren Xiaosu and felt a little curious. He was clearly a muscular man and was Zhou Yingxue's assistant. Yet, all he did was fight and kill all day, yet he found time to read a book?
Zhou Yingxue noticed Li Ran sneaking glances at Ren Xiaosu, so she said, "Assistant, bring me my glass of water."
Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue speechlessly. He did not know what kind of trouble she was up to this time.
But at this moment, the roar of engines came from the wilderness. It sounded like someone was shouting something happily. Ren Xiaosu said, "The people who will change your tires are here."
The ten plainclothes combatants in the tour group had already taken out their pistols and were ready to shoot at any moment.
But to their surprise, the convoy that was charging towards them consisted of five or six vehicles. One of the vehicles even had a heavy machine gun mounted on it.
One of the people in the vehicle shouted, "Do you want to change your tires? It's 20,000 yuan each, and we're honest with you. Of course, if you don't want to do it, we'll leave right away! We can also repair your tires, and it's 8,000 yuan each! "
Fang Zhi almost cursed. Usually, it would cost more than a thousand yuan to change an ordinary tire. Moreover, the tires on the other party's car looked worn-out. At a glance, he could tell that they were old tires that had been eliminated from god knows where. They were barely usable.
But with someone pointing a heavy machine gun at him, Fang Zhi really could not bring himself to curse out loud.
Since when did the Central Plains become so chaotic that even the people who repair tires and cars would carry heavy machine guns with them?
Was no one doing anything about this?!
The other party did not approach them and just shouted with a megaphone. At such a close distance and in the face of a heavy machine gun, the ten plainclothes combatants suddenly felt a little powerless.
The person in the repair convoy said, "Are you going to change your tires or not? Just give us a straightforward answer. We still have other places to go."
From the looks of it, they had scattered nails in quite a few places.
Li Ran said to Zhou Yingxue, "If you kill them, I'll give you an additional 100,000 yuan."
Zhou Yingxue blinked. "You guys said that I'd just be a quiet and pretty face."
Li Ran clenched her teeth and said, "There's no such thing as pretty face."
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. Why was this woman's focus so strange? When Zhou Yingxue heard that, she ignored Li Ran even more. "I'm only responsible for your safety. They're not a threat to you right now. If you don't change the tires, they'll leave. I'm not breaking the contract. I'm a bodyguard, not a hired thug."
But after she finished speaking, Ren Xiaosu suddenly stood up. "Wang Ergou?!"
The person in the car was also stunned. He carefully sized up Ren Xiaosu. "Xiaosu?!"
"Hahaha, you guys really came to the Central Plains." Ren Xiaosu laughed as he walked over to the repair convoy. The heavy machine gun was right in front of him, but it did not seem like it posed any threat to Ren Xiaosu at all.
The person in the car shouted, "All of you, put your guns down! Can't you see that? It's Ren Xiaosu!"
With that, the person jumped out of the car. He was wearing a dirty leather coat and was limping as he walked. Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, "What happened to your leg?"
"Hai." Wang Ergou smiled and said, "I kicked a metal plate while I was working. They didn't kill me, but they broke one of my legs."
"That's strange. You guys even managed to buy a heavy machine gun. What kind of ruthless people could you run into?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.
"It was just a woman." Wang Ergou lamented, "You don't know how dangerous the world is right now. That woman in the black cap was driving an off-road vehicle by herself. I thought we'd secured the deal, but before we could even figure out what was going on, she took care of all of us. That's why our vehicles with heavy machine guns are all parked far away. While we're repairing the vehicles, someone has to stay in the vehicles and be ready to fire at any moment. "
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. "That woman you're talking about, is she also wearing a black combat uniform?"
"Eh? You've seen her before too? "Wang Ergou said in surprise," You offended that woman too? Let me tell you, she's not someone you can afford to offend. "
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "Did you guys see what kind of superpower she used?"
"I think she could control the sand. At that time, she controlled the sand to sink our vehicle with the heavy machine gun into the ground," Wang Ergou said.
This answer surprised Ren Xiaosu, because he had previously suspected that the woman was the mastermind behind the paper cranes!
