Hearing what Qin Yuan said, Green Snake’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve!”
“If we can make it back this time, we’ll need to properly thank Lin Xiaoxiao,”
Qin Yuan said with a smile.
“Will this thing even work? There are three bombs here,” Green Snake asked.
“I don’t know.”
Qin Yuan said while carefully manipulating the circuit with the device.
“It’s like trying to cure a dead horse as if it’s alive.”
“You seem pretty calm.”
Green Snake said with a bitter smile.
“Isn’t that so.”
But what he didn’t notice was the sweat that had quietly begun to bead on Qin Yuan’s forehead.
On the other side, the old man was much more attentive than Green Snake. He had long noticed Qin Yuan’s struggle and did not interfere.
“Green Snake, since you know this is troublesome, don’t bother him. This matter is a matter of life and death,” the old man said.
Feeling embarrassed, Green Snake gave a forced smile. He walked to the side and watched quietly as Qin Yuan defused the bombs.
“How’s it going, any progress?” the old man asked with concern, noticing Qin Yuan’s serious expression.
It was clear that only Qin Yuan possessed such ability, while the other two could only silently pay attention and encourage him.
“It’s going okay.”
Qin Yuan was still scanning the circuitry underneath with the device.
“I already had some understanding of these circuit configurations, and this bomb defuser is a huge help. It doesn’t require me to systematically analyze these wires. I just scan them, and I know which are the safe cables to remove and which are the dangerous ones that must not be taken out,” Qin Yuan explained earnestly.
“I just need to concentrate and avoid any mistakes.”
“Not bad at all!”
Green Snake raised an eyebrow as he spoke, as if the crisis was about to be resolved.
“Looks like I underestimated your ability.”
“When you guys from the 2nd platoon of the logistics company team up, you’re practically invincible!” he exclaimed, not stingy with his admiration for Qin Yuan.
“Don’t celebrate too soon.”
Qin Yuan said while wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.
“We’ve only defused one so far; there are still two to go, and we’ve not much time left.”
Green Snake leaned in to look at the timer on the bomb, which read 4:34.
“Only four minutes left. You defused one in just a minute. At that rate, it should only take about two more minutes, right?” he said.
“Not necessarily. These bombs don’t all have the same level of difficulty in terms of defusing,” Qin Yuan said gravely.
“Look at the number of wires; each bomb is different.”
Qin Yuan pointed to the bomb’s interior on the ground.
Green Snake leaned in and observed closely.
Indeed, the wiring inside each was unique.
The bomb that Qin Yuan had just defused had about thirty wires.
After counting the wires in the remaining two bombs, Green Snake gasped in shock–each had over fifty!
This meant that even if Qin Yuan made no mistakes, he would need one-third more time to defuse these than he had for the first bomb!
Their time was actually running out fast!
Thinking this, Green Snake’s face fell into despondency again.
He regretted having talked with Qin Yuan just now!
That conversation had wasted precious seconds–seconds they were racing against with their lives on the line!
“Ah! It’s my fault! I shouldn’t have disturbed you! Starting now! Until the crisis is resolved! I won’t speak another word to you!” Green Snake said, slapping his cheek in regret.
Qin Yuan had no time to pay him any mind, and even the old man at his side, his face filled with worry, kept silent.
And so, the group endured the torment in silence.
Time passed, every second of it.
The beads of sweat on Qin Yuan’s forehead grew more numerous in exchange for the continuous disarming of the bomb wires.
2:00
Two minutes left on the clock.
The silence on the scene was heavy and tense. The air seemed as if it would solidify.
1:00
Qin Yuan had lost track of how many circuits he had disarmed; he only felt both his body and spirit were extremely fatigued.
It was an immensely precise job.
Naturally, it would consume a great deal of Qin Yuan’s energy.
Seeing Qin Yuan’s solemn expression, the other two were very worried, fearing the slightest slip-up might result in disaster.
And Qin Yuan’s expression was more tense and serious than ever before!
He even bit his lip, the corners of his mouth trembling incessantly!
It was the first time Green Snake had ever seen Qin Yuan so visibly nervous in the face of danger!
He glanced at the timer.
There was scarcely any time left!
00:30!
The countdown began.
00:20!
00:10!
The faces of those watching Qin Yuan had turned as dark as could be!
00:5!
00:00!
Green Snake and the old man had already closed their eyes, awaiting doomsday.

But when the countdown ended, everything remained quiet as usual. The explosion they expected did not occur.
When they opened their eyes, they saw Qin Yuan collapsed wearily on the ground, the bomb defuser still in his hand.
He was muttering under his breath:
“Finally done, damn it, it nearly took all the energy I have in my life.”
Green Snake and the old man understood—they had succeeded!
“We did it!”
Green Snake shouted excitedly.
“You’re amazing!”
The old man also kept shouting.
“It’s a miracle! What happened in the last few minutes?!”
“I just saw there were still so many left to disarm!”
“To finish the task in the final moments, you really are my idol!”
