Chapter 37 In ten minutes, he defuses four bombs by himself
Zhang Lin and others ran to the other end of the building as quickly as possible.

It was impossible to get down to the first floor in less than two minutes.

The safest thing to do now is to find a safe place to hide before the bomb explodes.

"Zhang Lin, are we okay hiding here?"

"It should be fine."

Zhang Lin calculated in his mind: "With that amount of explosives, at most that office will be destroyed. It may affect several nearby offices, but there will be no problem here."

"I mean...is it really okay to just give up like this?"

With just one sentence, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Zhang Lin moved his mouth and gritted his teeth and said, "In that situation, we can only give up. Forcible demolition will only result in the loss of lives."

"I'm not saying this to shirk my responsibility, I just... don't want you all to die with me."

"Besides, the bombs haven't exploded yet. I think Team Chen has successfully defused the two bombs on the third and fifth floors. Except for the accident on my side, everyone else should be fine."

"It's just one bomb. It won't have much impact on the China World Trade Center. We can just do a building safety analysis afterwards."

"Of course, we will get scolded, but it's better than losing our lives."

"Moreover, both Team Chen and Director Yang can understand this kind of thing, especially Team Chen. He is an old hand at bomb disposal and has a lot of experience. Naturally, various accidents will occur during the bomb disposal process."

"An accident happened, so it's understandable that bomb disposal didn't go smoothly."

"And don't worry. If the higher-ups really want to hold someone accountable, you can just put the blame on me. After all, I was the one who said I gave up."

"That's impossible. We are in the same group." The police officer who had a better relationship with Zhang Lin said quickly.

The other two also immediately expressed their opinions: "That's right, we are a team, and we share the responsibility."

"Besides, didn't you say it? At most I'll get scolded, and it won't cost me a piece of meat. Saving my life is better than anything else."

"but……"

Everyone looked up at him.

"But why hasn't the bomb exploded yet?"

Zhang Lin looked down at his watch. More than two minutes had passed since they came out. Logically speaking, the bomb should have exploded long ago.

"Could it be that Ruan Deyuan used a fake bomb to fool us?" someone suddenly asked.

"It shouldn't be possible."

Zhang Lin shook his head.

"If it were someone else, it might be possible, but you all know who Ruan Deyuan is. He is a complete lunatic. Would he use a fake bomb to scare us?"

The person who spoke scratched his head awkwardly: "That's not possible."

Zhang Lin pondered for a moment and said, "It is very likely that there is something wrong with the detonator. After all, it has only been a few days since that guy learned that his brother was going to be executed, and he still needs to travel. It is normal for mistakes to occur when making bombs in a hurry."

"But it's a good thing there was a problem, so we don't have to be criticized."

"Since there are problems, just say that you arranged it well. It didn't explode anyway." One of them suggested.

Zhang Lin swallowed his saliva and finally shook his head: "Forget it, let's be honest, we were lucky that it didn't explode. It would be too greedy to do such a thing to gain credit."

"Once it is discovered, we may be criticized, but we may even be suspended."

After saying that, he did not forget to look at the other person: "Don't say such things next time."

The other party smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Lin patted the other man on the shoulder and looked at the three people: "Let's go, since nothing has exploded, we have successfully completed the bomb disposal mission this time. Let's go find Team Chen."

"Team Chen is really amazing. While defusing the bomb on the fifth floor, they also had time to defuse the bomb on the third floor."

"Of course not. Team Chen is the most skilled and experienced member of our bomb disposal team."

Zhang Lin also said, "I am still a student of Team Chen. Our bomb disposal technology was taught by Team Chen. I used to think that my bomb disposal technology was no worse than Team Chen's. But now I see that I am far behind."

"Zhang Lin, you are already very good. At least your skills are better than others. It's just that Team Chen is more awesome." Someone comforted him.

"Oh, what's so great about me? I didn't defused a single bomb. Fortunately, the bombs on the fifth and seventh floors malfunctioned, otherwise we would be in great danger this time!" Zhang Lin shook his head, his expression gloomy.

"In fact, the bomb on the seventh floor can't really be your fault. Who could have known it was an emulsion bomb, and the wiring was so complicated that it would take at least half an hour to sort it out. You're already very good for doing that."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go down!"

"Team Chen and the others may be waiting for us down there."

"Go, go, go down."

The four of them took the elevator downstairs.

First floor of China World Trade Center.

A number of bomb disposal experts and police officers have gathered to assist them in defusing bombs.

Everyone's face was filled with relaxation and smiles.

Chen Bai's face was filled with joy of surviving a disaster, especially when he saw that everyone was unharmed and talking and laughing, he felt relieved for no reason.

"It's finally over!" Chen Bai sighed in his heart.

When accepting the bomb disposal mission, Chen Bai was actually ready to sacrifice himself.

There are thirteen bombs, and each one is different. There is even a time bomb that can make people's scalp tingle at just one look.

He never thought about finishing all of them, and it was impossible to finish all of them.

But God still favors him.

No one was injured, no one died, and the mission was successfully accomplished.

Next, a grand commendation ceremony will be waiting for them.

They completed an impossible task.

They are heroes.

He is the hero who saved the China World Trade Center.

Chen Bai was filled with pride.

"Team Chen."

A sudden voice interrupted Chen Bai's thoughts. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Zhang Lin and the three police officers assisting him were walking towards him.

Chen Bai excitedly stepped forward and hugged Zhang Lin tightly with both hands: "Okay, okay, Zhang Lin, thanks to you this time, we can successfully complete the task."

If Zhang Lin had not completed two bomb disposal missions within ten minutes, this time would not have been so smooth, and it would have been impossible to complete the bomb disposal mission so perfectly.

Zhang Lin made great contributions in this battle.

It was him who was supposed to be responsible for the two bombs on the third and fifth floors, but in the end he only completed one. Fortunately, the bomb on the third floor did not explode, otherwise he would be to blame as the leader of the bomb disposal team.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Bai becomes more excited when he sees Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin looked at Chen Bai in confusion and was about to ask, but Chen Bai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I will recommend you for merit later. This time, Director Yang will at least give you a second-class individual award, and our team will at least be awarded a second-class collective award."

Zhang Lin opened his mouth and gave a bitter smile: "Team Chen, I am unworthy of this man's second-class merit. It is more appropriate for you to take it."

"Zhang Lin, what do you mean?"

"Are you not satisfied with the second-class individual merit?"

Chen Bai frowned and said, "We have been in this business for more than ten years. You know how many people have won the second-class merit."

"Group Chen, that's not what I meant." "Then what do you mean?"

Zhang Lin hesitated before saying, "Let me tell you the truth. I didn't even remove a single bomb during this bomb disposal mission."

After saying this, he lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Chen Bai.

Chen Bai was confused.

But he quickly reacted, and a low, slightly angry voice rang in Zhang Lin's ears: "Zhang Lin, what's wrong with you? You were given the task of defusing two bombs, and you didn't complete either one?"

Zhang Lin clenched his fists.

At the side, Zhang Lin's assistant quickly stepped forward to explain: "Team Chen, this matter can't be blamed on Zhang Lin. The bomb on the ninth floor is an emulsion bomb. The design is too complicated. It is impossible to figure out the principle in ten minutes."

"Plus, you gave Zhang Lin the task of defusing the bomb on the seventh floor. He was under too much pressure, and became more and more nervous the more he defuses it. In the end, he had no choice but to give up."

"Fortunately, we were lucky this time. The bombs on the seventh and ninth floors were not detonated."

"You, you, what should I say about you?"

Chen Bai pointed at Zhang Lin, looking disappointed: "I told you a long time ago that bomb disposal requires courage and carefulness, and you need to stay calm at all times. Why can't you remember?"

"Fortunately, you were lucky this time. Both bombs failed. Otherwise, if they really exploded, we would not be able to complete the mission. If there were casualties, how would you explain it to your superiors?"

Zhang Lin raised his head with red eyes: "Team Chen, I will definitely remember this lesson."

Chen Bo sighed and said, "Write a report on the situation yourself later. We can't just let this matter go."

"I'll write it." Zhang Lin gritted his teeth.

"Don't think that I am targeting you. I had high hopes for you in this bomb disposal mission. I thought that if you completed the task of defusing two bombs, I would at least apply for a second-class individual merit for you. But not only did you fail to complete it, you didn't even defuse one. You have to give an explanation to others about this matter." Chen Bai explained.

"I know."

"As long as you know."

Chen Bo patted Zhang Lin on the shoulder and said nothing more. Just as he was about to gather everyone together, he heard Zhang Lin's assistant suddenly say, "Team Chen, you are amazing. Not only did you dismantle the bomb on the fifth floor, you also dismantled the bomb wrapped in a metal shell on the third floor?"

"I've always heard that you, Team Leader Chen, are very experienced in bomb disposal. There's no bomb you can't defuse. I've never really been convinced, but this time I'm completely convinced."

"I'm convinced!"

After saying that, he did not forget to give Chen Bai a thumbs up.

The others also looked at Chen Bai with admiration, and Zhang Lin even bowed and said, "Team Chen, today's incident has made me completely understand."

"Everyone in the group says that my ability, Zhang Lin, is no less than yours, but now it seems that I am far behind and cannot compare with you."

They had studied the bomb on the third floor together. If he were to dismantle the bomb, he might not be able to do it safely even if he was given several hours, let alone ten minutes.

But Chen Bo dismantled two bombs in succession within ten minutes, including the one on the third floor.

This ability is far beyond his reach.

Zhang Lin and others' endless praises made Chen Bai a little confused, but he soon reacted.

When he mentioned the bomb on the third floor, he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mention it. I have to write a report and reflect on myself this time."

The four looked at him in confusion.

Chen Bo explained: "Originally, I assigned myself the task of removing the bombs on the third and fifth floors, but I only removed the bomb on the fifth floor and had no time to deal with the one on the third floor."

"Su Rui was the last one to lead people to the bomb on the third floor. He dismantled the bomb on the first floor very quickly. It didn't take long, and he led people directly to the third floor."

"Su Rui?"

"Correct."

Zhang Lin understood and said, "The bomb on the first floor is indeed simple, but he was able to resolve it so quickly, so he must have some skills."

"However, he probably doesn't have the ability to deal with the bomb on the third floor, right?"

"I don't know. I was busy dealing with the bomb on the fifth floor, so I didn't pay much attention to it later. Now I think there must be a problem with the bomb's detonator that failed to detonate." Chen Bai shook his head.

"Didn't the two bombs you were responsible for also have problems with their detonation mechanisms?"

Zhang Lin nodded. "It should be that Ruan Deyuan didn't pay attention when he was making it. After all, he had to make thirteen time bombs in a few days and bring them into the city center. It's understandable that something went wrong during the process."

At this point, Zhang Lin sighed: "I'm afraid even Ruan Deyuan himself didn't expect that the bomb he carefully designed would have so many problems."

"It's a good thing that there was a problem, otherwise we would be in great danger this time!" Chen Bai said with some relief.

Zhang Lin didn't say anything, but he agreed with what he said in his heart.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Lin suddenly suggested: "Team Chen, why don't we go check out the bomb on the third floor first? Ruan Deyuan has just been arrested, so let him see how his masterpiece failed. For a rebellious person like him, this might make him collapse more than killing him."

"This way, the subsequent interrogation work will be much simpler. Otherwise, it will not be easy to pry open the mouth of that madman."

"easy?"

Chen Bai shook his head: "It's impossible."

"But what you said does make sense. The bomb on the third floor is definitely Ruan Deyuan's masterpiece. It's a pity that no matter how carefully it was designed, something went wrong."

"Let's go up and take a look. I'm a little curious about what's inside that metal shell."

Chen Bai laughed and prepared to go to the third floor with Zhang Lin.

However, at this moment, the elevator, which had been silent, suddenly made a "ding" sound, and two stainless steel doors slowly opened. A police officer walked out of the elevator holding a bomb filled with glue.

"Luo Baosheng?"

The moment he saw Luo Baosheng, Chen Bai was also stunned, "Where are Su Rui and the others?"

"Oh, Comrade Su Rui is still upstairs, come down soon." Luo Baosheng responded immediately.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Chen Bai pointed at the thing in Luo Baosheng's arms.

"Bomb!"

"bomb?"

"It's the bomb on the third floor."

Luo Baosheng explained: "Su Rui said that he was afraid that you might not know the situation and might detonate the bomb if you move around, so he asked me to take it down and dispose of it first."

"Didn't the bomb on the third floor become ineffective?" Zhang Lin said.

Luo Baosheng said: "How could it be ineffective! This was eliminated by Su Rui. Fortunately, he was there, otherwise we would all die this time."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Lin asked.

"It was only when we rushed to the third floor that we discovered that the bomb on the third floor was the key. The countdown might be less than three or four minutes. Once it was detonated, all the other bombs would have to be detonated simultaneously."

"After Su Rui discovered this situation, he quickly decrypted this seemingly perfectly designed bomb."

"Unfortunately, Ruan Deyuan was still one step behind. Comrade Su Rui was more capable and easily eliminated the bomb on the third floor."

Luo Baosheng became more and more excited as he spoke, especially when he mentioned Su Rui, his eyes were filled with light.

That guy is fucking awesome.

After listening for so long, Chen Bai finally understood a little: "You mean, it was Su Rui who defused the bomb on the third floor?"

"Yup!"

Luo Baosheng said casually: "Group Chen, where did Director Yang find such a genius? You don't know, he defused four bombs by himself in ten minutes."

"He defused the first, third, and seventh floors, as well as the emulsion bomb on the ninth floor that Zhang Lin hadn't defused."

Just as he finished speaking, he found that everyone around him in the lobby on the first floor was looking at him with an expression of disbelief.
