Chapter 288: Not That Detonator Wire
“Give way if you don’t want to die!” Yun Jian’s gaze turned sharp as she raised her volume, her deep eyes felt like they had the magic to intimidate.
The bomb squad who were stopping Yun Jian were stunned. No one expected the naïve-looking young girl to glover in warning.
“There’s no more time. If you guys want to drag this out, okay, why don’t we die right now to make things easy!” With a stretch of hand, there was a butterfly knife appearing between Yun Jian’s fair and long fingers.
As she spoke, she was going to throw the blade at the ticking time bomb.
Everyone in the room felt their heart lurching to their throat. Yun Jian’s action came as a surprise. How dare she threaten all of them!
Defusing a time bomb was an extremely hard challenge. A careless touch could possibly erupt it in advance!
“No! Stop! Stop right there! We agree!” Facing Yun Jian’s realistic threat, the expert who mocked how a girl like her defusing the bomb just now shouted involuntarily.
No one in the vicinity was unafraid of death. Everyone was scared of dying. However, in the face of choosing to die instantly and leaving their lives to a perhaps hopeful young girl, everyone visibly chose the latter.
Furthermore, there was no better option for them currently.
A group of egoistical bomb disposal experts had dragged the last moment of evacuation out for nothing but their pride.
Yun Jian kept her butterfly knife and went to the time bomb.
The timer on the explosive was still counting down swiftly with the current display at – 03:38, three more minutes to the explosion.
Three minutes, to Yun Jian, was enough for her to sit down and have a drink before she defused the time bomb. This was because the AK4 originated from Gu Sha. If she was not familiar with it, who else could dismantle the bomb?
In spite of it, when her hand extended to disarm the bomb, everyone on the spot felt their heart squeezed in a suffocating grip.
The girl’s petite frame leaned forward and with deft fingers, she worked the detonator case open.
Displayed in front of everyone were several detonator wires of red, yellow, and blue that were intertwined.
The first step that Yun Jian took was removing the case, those in the bomb squad also knew how to do that. The next step, however, was the hardest part of the defusing process.
With so many colored detonator wires bundled together, picking the correct wire to cut was basically trying to win a lottery.
If it was not cut, the bomb could not be disarmed. Thus, which one should they cut?
This was why the bomb squad hesitated just now. No one understood the internal detonator architecture of this AK4 bomb. If they cut the wrong wire, the explosive would blow up directly from the short circuit without waiting for the timer to end.
It was a difficult choice.
Their success and failure of defusing the time bomb depended on one single snip!
While everyone watched in bated breath, Yun Jian had already picked up the scissors and hooked a yellow detonator wire from the deepest part to cut it.
“Wait! That wire isn’t the right one for sure!” One of the bomb squad members stopped Yun Jian, unable to take it.
“We confirmed it just now. This yellow wire definitely isn’t the correct wire!” the expert told Yun Jian with assumed superiority and continued to say, “You’re not a true bomb disposal expert after all. We’ve been in this field for years, we’re far more experienced than you. You must listen to our opinion...”
Before the expert finished, Yun Jian looked at him with a smirk. “Is that so?”
In the next second, she moved the pair of scissors that was placed right around the yellow wire and snipped, the wire was cut.
“You – are you trying to kill us!” The expert who talked to Yun Jian condescendingly just now scowled.
Everyone’s face was now painted with fear. According to the expert, the girl had cut the wrong wire?
“Beep, beep, beep...” Right then, the timer on the bomb beeped urgently.
