Chapter 79 Countdown to Death

Feng Nan had seen depraved suspects before, but this was the first time he had ever encountered such depraved individuals.

The purpose of planting the bomb was not to kill anyone.

Rather, it was to create panic.

They then exploited the panic in the crowd to create a stampede tragedy, achieving their goal of killing people.

Feng Nan couldn't imagine how twisted the person who devised this plan must have been.

Only a psychopath would devise such a manipulative and murderous plan.

Feng Nan could imagine that the pervert who devised the plan was somewhere, laughing as he admired his masterpiece.

Even in order to enjoy that immersive thrill, that pervert was right there in the crowd.

Feng Nan ran back upstairs quickly, her chest heaving violently, panting heavily like a bellows.

Feng Nan's health was extremely weak.

Such strenuous exercise left Feng Nan breathless.

Huhu——

Feng Nan tried to calm her agitated heart.

I felt my heart pounding wildly.

She was genuinely afraid her heart would explode.

After resting for a while, Feng Nan continued running towards the bomb.

There were still three minutes until the explosion.

Time is running out for Feng Nan.

They rushed into the shop where the bomb was hidden.

Feng Nan spotted the bomb immediately.

Seeing the bright red countdown on the screen, Feng Nan's heart skipped a beat.

"It's too late to get the bomb out; we can only try to defuse it."

Look at the two lines, red and blue, on the bomb.

Feng Nan was in a dilemma.

Feng Nan knew nothing about bombs.

Not to mention defusing bombs.

Feng Nan took out her phone and called Li Biao.

Li Biao is a veteran detective and should be familiar with bombs. Even if Li Biao doesn't know how to defuse bombs, he should be able to contact a bomb disposal expert in a short time. In any case, Feng Nan can only place her hopes on Li Biao now.

beep-

A waiting tone came from the phone's earpiece.

The phone rang for several dozen seconds before it was finally answered, and Li Biao's anxious voice came through.

[Li Biao: Xiao Feng, where are you?]

[Feng Nan: It's too late! Don't speak, listen to me. I've found a bomb. It will explode in two minutes and forty seconds. There's no time to move it out. We can only try to defuse it. I'm sending you a picture of the bomb now. You must tell me which wire to cut within two minutes!]

Feng Nan didn't give Li Biao a chance to say more.

He roared like a machine gun.

[Li Biao: What?]

Li Biao's exclamation came from the other end of the phone.

Time is life, and Feng Nan didn't give Li Biao any more chance to waste time. She immediately hung up the phone, took a picture of the bomb in front of her with her phone, and sent it to Li Biao.

[Feng Nan: Think of something quickly, there's no time left. If you don't know how, find a bomb disposal expert immediately. If it explodes, the consequences will be unimaginable.]

Feng Nan sent Li Biao a voice message.

[Li Biao: I'll contact the bomb disposal expert right away. Where are you right now?]

Li Biao replied with a voice message immediately.

Feng Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

[Feng Nan: The shop on the fifth floor, near the escalator on the left.]

After replying to the message, Feng Nan immediately looked for tools that could be used to cut the bomb's wires.

I quickly found a pair of scissors next to the cashier to cut off the tags.

Feng Nan took the scissors and returned to the bomb, quietly waiting for Li Biao's reply.

Time passes by second by second.

For Feng Nan, every second felt like an eternity.

Because of nervousness, large drops of sweat fell, soaking a large area of his clothes.

Quack, quack, quack——

When the countdown on the bomb stopped at one minute and forty-eight seconds, Feng Nan's phone rang.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Feng Nan jolted awake, as if she had been electrocuted.

Unlock your screen immediately and check the messages.

[Li Biao: The bomb disposal experts examined it and determined it's just an ordinary time bomb, not very powerful. However, if it explodes, it will definitely cause panic among the people on the first floor of the mall who are frightened by the fire alarm, potentially leading to a stampede. I'm sending you a video now so you can speak directly with the bomb disposal experts.]

As they were talking, Li Biao sent a video call. Feng Nan answered the call without hesitation.

The camera was pointed at the time bomb.

At this moment, the countdown timer on the time bomb had reached one minute and twenty seconds.

[Feng Nan, that's it.]

[Feng Nan: Which wire should I cut?]

Feng Nan was extremely anxious at this moment.

His clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Those who have never faced death can never understand Feng Nan's feeling of having the option to escape but instead waiting to die.

Escape is a bodily instinct, but Feng Nan has to desperately suppress the urge to run away, forcing herself to confront the ticking time bomb with no end in sight.

[Bomb disposal expert: Cut the blue wire.]

Thirty seconds later, Feng Nan felt like an eternity!
The bomb disposal expert finally spoke.

Feng Nan was overjoyed and aimed the scissors at the blue line, ready to cut it.

[Li Biao: How confident are you?]

Upon hearing Li Biao's words, Feng Nan was startled, and the movement she was about to make stopped at that moment.

[Bomb disposal expert: I wasn't at the scene, so I can only rely on my experience to judge. Even if I were there, I wouldn't be 100% certain, so the confidence level is only 50%.]

Hearing the bomb disposal expert's words, Feng Nan's heart sank. Looking at the time bomb, which had a countdown of forty seconds left, Feng Nan hesitated.

It feels terrible to have your fate guessed by others.

[Li Biao: Xiao Feng, although I hope you can defuse this bomb, you're not a formal agent. You still have a choice. Thirty seconds is enough time for you to go downstairs and find cover.]

Li Biao's voice was very serious through the phone receiver. As an agent, Li Biao hoped that Feng Nan could give it a try, but as a friend, Li Biao did not want Feng Nan to take on responsibilities that were not hers.

Feng Nan took a deep breath.

I looked at the countdown timer, which showed 23 seconds.

I closed my eyes and slowly applied pressure with my hands.

As Feng Nan moved, the blades of the scissors closed, cutting towards the wire.

suddenly!

The image of those blood-red high heels flashed through Feng Nan's mind.

Feng Nan paused.

The blade of the scissors slowly moved away from the blue line.

Seeing Feng Nan's actions, Li Biao and the bomb disposal expert were both taken aback.

There are now eleven seconds left in the countdown.

It was too late to run away.

Silently counting down the countdown on the screen.
