Chapter 250 Aili, how did you manage to get here?Xun Yingdong opened his mouth, then stammered, "He's gone, he's gone."Pei Hening could sense her unease, so she gently patted the back of her hand and looked up at Chu Xuange: "Did you take off your gun? Looks like we need to find a place to hide first."She looked up at the end of the corridor. What was inside that could frighten Xun Yingdong so much?Chu Xuange took the initiative to pick up the gun and walked to Pei Hening's side: "Let's go."The three of them had barely left when fully armed prison guards and guard dogs arrived.The wolfhound's nose twitched as it followed the scent, eventually stopping beside the corpse. The prison guard caught up, and after seeing the scene clearly, pressed the internal communication button: "Captain, Number Thirty-Seven and Number Forty-Three are dead!""The two of them were murdered in a long corridor next to the monitoring room."After disconnecting the internal communications, the prison guard vigorously ruffled the wolfhound's fluffy head and asked, "Aili, can you smell anyone else?""Woof! Woof woof!"The wolfhound named Aili wagged its tail excitedly, barked twice, rubbed against the prison guard's leg, and then ran forward.The prison guard's eyes lit up, and he strode after him.Aili must have smelled someone else!"I think I heard a dog barking."Chu Xuange glanced back, his expression serious, and then he took Pei Hening's hand and ran forward!"I didn't hear you!"Xun Yingdong also said anxiously, "A dog, there's a dog."After a frantic run, Chu Xuange led the two of them to hide in an abandoned area of the prison—an old kitchen from over a decade ago.Pei Hening choked on the dust, raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and observed the layout of the old kitchen. The kitchen was full of cobwebs and dust, the burlap sacks piled in the corner were rotten and moldy, and the iron rack next to the stove was rusty.Chu Xuange stepped on the wooden plank on the ground and sensed something was wrong. He bent down and lifted it up, revealing a cellar entrance, which must have been used to store vegetables in the past.Pei Hening found a half-empty box of matches on the shelf, lit one, and threw it into the cellar."There's oxygen inside, shall we go in and hide?"Chu Xuange hummed in agreement and walked down the worn-out stairs.He quickly surveyed his surroundings. This wasn't a cellar; it was the staff's underground rest area. Inside, there was a table, a bed, and a chair. The simple furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there was a small, closed skylight above the small wooden bed."It's safe, come down."Pei Hening first stuffed Xun Yingdong inside, then swept up the traces they had left behind. Chu Xuange climbed out of the basement, pulled out a bag of rotten vegetables, and threw it in the center of the old kitchen. A strange, eerie smell filled the air."That's about right."Pei Hening couldn't stand the fumes anymore. After cleaning up the traces, she covered the area with wooden boards and hid in the basement with Chu Xuange.The footsteps of the hunting dogs grew closer, and they would occasionally bark at the prison guards following behind them.Pei Hening listened to the sounds outside through the dilapidated wooden planks, her heart pounding like a drum.Chu Xuange stood by the stairs, gun in hand, aiming at the wooden plank. If they were discovered, he would shoot the person who found them immediately."Shuashua——"A dry, harsh scratching sound suddenly rang out, and Pei Hening's heart tightened. She glanced at Chu Xuange, her eyes questioning.Chu Xuange said silently: It's the door outside."Aili, how did you get here?" The prison guard rushed over and asked curiously when he saw the wolfhound scratching at the door of the old kitchen.
