You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

【00:02:00】

The piercing alarm and the constantly beating countdown pounded hard on everyone's hearts.

Despair overwhelmed the entire underground pump room like a tidal wave.

"Lin Chen..."

Su Qingge's voice trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.

She put down her gun and walked step by step toward Lin Chen. For the first time, her phoenix eyes, which were always full of heroic spirit, revealed a woman's vulnerability and fear.

She grabbed Lin Chen's arm and spoke in an almost pleading tone.

"You go! Don't worry about us! You can't die here!"

In her view, this was a certain death situation.

She would rather sacrifice herself than see Lin Chen die with her.

The SWAT team members following behind her also showed resolute expressions.

Despite their fear, their sense of honor as police officers prevented any of them from backing down.

"Advisor Lin! Captain Su! You two go! We'll hold them off here!"

"It's an honor to fight alongside you!"

Lin Chen neither turned around nor spoke.

He simply stared silently at the bomb flashing with a death countdown. In his deep eyes, there was no fear, no despair, only a cold, rapidly calculating light.

go?

In Lin Chen's dictionary, the word "escape" never existed.

Did the prophet think he had designed a perfect, unbreakable work of art?

In Lin Chen's view, this was just a toy with a somewhat ingenious design, but still full of flaws.

He had long anticipated that the prophet's bomb would be far more complex than simply cutting the red and blue wires.

Just when everyone thought Lin Chen was helpless and ready to die.

Lin Chen suddenly let out a cold laugh.

The laughter sounded particularly abrupt and even somewhat jarring in the deathly silent, despair-filled basement.

He grasped Su Qingge's cold little hand in return and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"Stand back, don't get splattered with blood."

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he calmly took off the seemingly ordinary tactical backpack that he had been carrying on his back.

He unzipped the bag and pulled out three silver-white, high-tech metal pressure tanks.

"What...what is this?"

Su Qingge was stunned.

"A fire extinguisher?"

A SWAT officer asked instinctively.

Lin Chen did not answer.

These three pressure tanks were things he had "casually" taken from the props warehouse used for stage effects at the Star Shine Entertainment Building when he passed by before setting off.

—Industrial-grade liquid nitrogen with a purity of up to 99.99%!

[Mastered by a top-tier actuary], operating at the limit!

The countdown has started; one minute and thirty seconds remain.

Lin Chen's brain has now transformed into a super-high-dimensional quantum computer.

The tilt angle of the mercury balance device, the flow rate of the mercury, the precise location of the conductive contacts, the internal gear structure of the toxic gas valve, the critical point of pressure change...

All the data was instantly modeled and deduced in his mind!

He found the only, and most perfect, way to break the deadlock!

He didn't touch the complicated wiring, nor did he try to straighten the deadly mercury balance device.

He held a liquid nitrogen tank in each hand, took a deep breath, lowered his legs slightly, and assumed a very standard horse stance.

In an instant, his eyes became as sharp as an eagle's!

【00:01:00】

It's now!

Lin Chen made a move!

He had two liquid nitrogen canisters in his hands, which were simultaneously aimed at two completely different locations on the bomb!

One, aimed at the tilting glass tube filled with mercury!

The other one was aimed at the core connection of the metal valve that was hissing and emitting poisonous gas!

"laugh--!!!"

Two streams of white mist, carrying extreme cold, shot out from the nozzles like two roaring ice dragons!

At this moment, the absolute low temperature of -196 degrees Celsius demonstrated its terrifying power as a "physical weapon"!

The tube of liquid mercury, which was slowly flowing and about to come into contact with the conductive contacts, couldn't even last a second when it came into contact with the liquid nitrogen!

Almost instantly, it was frozen into a silvery-white solid with no electrical conductivity!

The mercury has solidified!

Meanwhile, the gas valve, made of precision metal gears and slowly opening, also suffered the same devastating blow!

At this moment, Lin Chen applied the most basic principle of thermal expansion and contraction in physics to its fullest extent!

At extremely low temperatures, the metal gears and grooves inside the valve undergo violent and irregular contraction!

The originally perfectly sealed structure was forcibly destroyed by this unreasonable physical force!

"Click! Click-click!"

A sickening metallic creaking sound rang out.

The valve that was being opened was actually blocked, completely and firmly!

All the changes happened in the blink of an eye!

Lin Chen, the instigator of all this, acted as if he had only done something insignificant after he had done all of this.

He casually tossed the two empty liquid nitrogen tanks on the ground, then picked up the third, and the last one.

He walked up to the countdown display that was flashing red light.

【00:00:13】

【00:00:12】

He raised the liquid nitrogen canister in his hand and gently sprayed it onto the display screen and the central processing unit motherboard below it.

"laugh--"

After the white fog cleared, the entire display screen, along with the circuit board below, was instantly covered by a thick layer of frost.

All the electronic components became completely inactive due to the sudden drop in temperature.

"drop----"

The piercing alarm turned into a long, drawn-out buzzing sound, signifying a system crash, before abruptly fading away.

The countdown on the screen, representing death, stopped completely in the last ten seconds.

The entire basement fell into a deathly silence.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Everyone seemed frozen in place, staring blankly at the miraculous scene before them.

Their brains were completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Using...using liquid nitrogen, they disarmed a bomb?

What the hell is this? Even sci-fi movies wouldn't dare to film something like this!

Lin Chen patted the frost off his hands, as if he had only brushed off a little dust.

He turned around, looked at the stunned faces behind him, and then at Li Mingyu, who was still lying unconscious on the ground in the distance. A disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

He walked up to Li Mingyu and looked down at this good-for-nothing who had almost killed everyone.

Then, in a voice only he could hear, he said softly:

"I just happened to save your life."

"roll."
