Chapter 201: Please Call Me the Bomb Disposal Expert (Part 1)

On the deck, Qin Yuxi leaned against the ship's rail with a dim expression, a hint of sorrow showing in her vacant eyes.

Because, the two bomb disposal soldiers squatting in front of him had been busy for nearly ten minutes; although they kept comforting her, kept saying they would definitely succeed in defusing the bomb, Qin Yuxi could see their helplessness from their expressions and eyes.

She knew that these two bomb disposal soldiers currently had not even a shred of confidence.

This meant that although she had been swapped out by the soldier named Liu Xiaotian, she was still going to die.

Not even an intact corpse could be left behind.

A lieutenant colonel officer stood anxiously several meters away, his voice low as he asked the bomb disposal soldier in explosive-protective gear standing beside him:

"Zhao Kai, how confident are your people?"

This person in explosive-protective gear named Zhao Kai is the team leader of the bomb disposal squad, holding the rank of lieutenant.

At the same time, the 3D image before his eyes was rapidly changing, and Character: Jiaweis's calculation speed had reached its limit.

At one, one look `no`, one mistaken version%！'

I don't know why, but after Liu Xiaotian appeared, she felt her inner fear had greatly diminished.

At this moment, the bomb's countdown display showed eight minutes and thirty-five seconds remaining.

Twenty-five seconds of time from the lowest hold to the deck—this speed is already the limit of what Liu Xiaotian can achieve now.

However, at this moment he simply had no time to explain.

The lieutenant colonel's face darkened as he pointed at Liu Xiaotian:

Only someone who could speak to him like that would at least be an officer; he, however, was merely a soldier, still a recruit with the rank of private.

"Is he from Wolf Fang? Hurry up and get him out of here! Don't follow him and cause trouble!"

After making a gesture to those two bomb disposal soldiers, the three retreated together, and one of them even took off his explosive-protective gear and placed it beside Liu Xiaotian.

Under the superior's orders, the other members of the Red Blood Cell Group, as well as the owl and his living subordinates, had already boarded the helicopter; even Zhao Kai and those two bomb disposal soldiers had now been ordered to board and leave.

Never mind that the one in mortal danger is Qin Yuxi, a woman he somewhat likes; even if it were any other soldier, even if he didn't know them at all, he would give his all to defuse this bomb and save his comrade.

At least, her body was no longer trembling now.

Time ticked by, and on the bomb's countdown display, the time had reached the final minute.

The reason this bomb is so hard to defuse, second only to that glass tube, is the sequence in which each connecting wire must be cut.

Just then, Liu Xiaotian's figure suddenly appeared on the deck, and after spotting Qin Yuxi's silhouette he rushed over quickly.

From the moment she arrived on the deck until she realized the bomb disposal soldiers couldn't defuse the bomb on themselves, Qin Yuxi had not shed a single tear; but the instant she saw Liu Xiaotian, her nose tingled and tears quietly spilled from her eyes.

Although the soldier before him bore the rank of private on his shoulder, from the decisiveness and proficiency with which he cut that connecting wire, Zhao Kai saw the two words "professional".

In Liu Xiaotian's earpiece, Chen Shanming's voice sounded for the second time:

But now, looking at that resolute and stern face before her, all her strength collapsed in an instant.

Although the other party's attitude was extremely unpleasant, Zhao Kai still chose, quite rationally, not to argue with them for the time being.

That connecting wire was the first correct route found by 'Jiaweis' after layered calculations over the past twenty-five seconds.

"You also know the two people currently defusing the bomb; one of them is still my old class monitor from back then……"

"Is there no other way? Even you going up personally wouldn't work?" The lieutenant colonel obviously felt some reluctance. Zhao Kai's face flashed a hint of shame as he slowly shook his head:

Moreover, he knew that his and the two bomb disposal soldiers beside him had almost zero chance of successfully defusing this bomb; now there was a soldier who appeared brimming with confidence, and moreover a soldier from Wolf Fang himself rushing out—from a certain perspective, he naturally ought to be pleased.

The lieutenant colonel raised his hand to stop Zhao Kai's further words, then let out a heavy sigh.

Before this, she had always believed she was strong enough, at least worthy of the uniform she wore.

"Boss, I'm afraid it won't work.

This was the first thing Liu Xiaotian said to the two bomb disposal soldiers who were studying but had not yet touched even a single wire of the bomb, and it was also the only thing he said.

Of course, he himself knew that doing this was definitely wrong, but the effect was the best.

Even when facing sacrifice, she showed no sign of weakness whatsoever, even though her fear had reached its peak.

Not to mention destroying the glass tube; even if the metal wire were cut incorrectly, the explosive would detonate immediately!

"Leave the tools, you withdraw!"

Because in the next second, he drew the military knife he had previously thrown on the ground and directly severed one of the bomb's outer wires.

"Yes!" Zhao Kai snapped to attention and quickly went to meet Liu Xiaotian.

At the very moment Liu Xiaotian cut that connecting wire, Zhao Kai also ran over, simultaneously shouting loudly: "Get out of the way! Don't interfere with our bomb disposal!" Liu Xiaotian didn't even turn his head, merely shouting casually: "Get lost!"

From beginning to end, Liu Xiaotian never once turned his head to look at them.

On the deck, only Qin Yuxi and Liu Xiaotian remained.

If the sequence were wrong, even if merely the wire connected to the countdown display were cut, the bomb would explode immediately.

Three minutes earlier, he had just personally inspected that set of explosives on Qin Yuxi's body.

Sure enough, Liu Xiaotian's attitude and that "get lost" word had a noticeable effect.

Even a delay of a single second could ultimately result in failure at the last moment.

But she did not speak, for fear of disturbing Liu Xiaotian.

And the most difficult part is its timing and detonation device; the glass tube is specially made, with several metal filaments embedded during its manufacture, but only two of them are used to connect to the detonation device.

And in this process, doing some things that go against the rules or saying some offensive words, in his view, are also normal.

That is a block of the latest high‑explosive, with the fuse buried inside the glass tube.

"Liu Xiaotian! I order you to withdraw immediately! Withdraw immediately!"

But no matter how he shouted, Liu Xiaotian remained unmoved.

The several helicopters around had already retreated to a safe distance; now only the helicopter carrying Chen Shanming and Gong Jian remained, still waiting for Liu Xiaotian.

To be honest, when giving Liu Xiaotian the order, Chen Shanming's heart also felt uneasy.

Even if there is only a thread of hope, how could he be willing to give up Qin Yuxi, give up one of his comrades? But in a situation where nothing can be done, he certainly cannot fail to save Qin Yuxi and also drag Liu Xiaotian down, can he? (End of chapter)
