Chapter 696 A Minefield of Trap-like Clues, A Deadly Intent Sealed in Ice

After passing through the treacherous jungle, the terrain began to become steep.

The two arrived at the bottom of a cliff halfway up the mountain.

Against the backdrop of howling winds and flashing lightning, a huge, dark opening, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, appeared before them.

This should be the land entrance to the underwater cave that Wang Tianlong mentioned.

The ground around the cave entrance was covered with messy footprints.

Some footprints were deep, some shallow, some new, some old. With the analysis of the [God-level Trace Identification Technique], Lin Chen could even deduce from the direction and depth of these footprints that at least two groups of people had entered this place in a hurry not long ago.

"They really did come."

Su Qingge lowered her voice and said that she had also noticed something from these professional police investigation skills.

Lin Chen nodded and was about to step into the cave.

However, just as his right foot was about to land!

"Buzz—!"

His brain felt as if it had been pierced by an invisible steel needle!

[God-level Sixth Sense] Frequent alarm calls!

A chilling, deadly sense of crisis, originating from the depths of his soul, swept over his entire body like a tsunami!

It made the hairs on his body stand on end!

"Stop!"

Lin Chen's body reacted faster than his brain. He suddenly reached out and pulled Su Qingge back, while his right foot was suspended in mid-air, less than a centimeter from the ground!

"What's wrong?"

Su Qingge was startled by his sudden action and looked at him, puzzled.

Lin Chen did not answer; a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

His gaze was fixed on the seemingly ordinary ground beneath his feet.

[God-level Insight], unlocked to its fullest potential!

In his view, time seemed to slow down in the whole world.

Raindrops froze in the air, and the sound of the wind faded away.

He "saw" it.

Right there on the only path leading to the cave entrance, three nanowires, thinner than a human hair and almost completely transparent, were intertwined at an extremely tricky angle, forming a triangle that hugged the ground and the rock wall, creating a web of death.

The end of the thread connects to three miniature devices perfectly disguised by moss and soil in a crevice in the rock wall.

That's a military upgrade of the M18A1 Claymore mine—a high-explosive miniature directional mine!

Once triggered, hundreds of steel balls and shrapnel will instantly cover the entire opening in a fan shape, tearing intruders to shreds!

"Damn, they've even used military-grade booby traps. Looks like there's a real big fish hiding here."

Lin Chen cursed inwardly.

This trap is designed to be far too insidious.

It took advantage of the harsh environment of the typhoon and people's eagerness to avoid the rain, making it almost a sure-fire solution.

If it weren't for his [God-level Sixth Sense] giving him an early warning, the two of them would probably be cold corpses by now.

"Don't move."

Lin Chen's voice was low and solemn.

"We've stepped on a minefield."

"What?!"

Su Qingge's face turned deathly pale instantly. She followed Lin Chen's gaze, and even with all her might, she could only barely see a faint reflection in the occasional flashes of lightning.

"I...I'll handle the bomb disposal!"

She gritted her teeth and took out a simple bomb disposal kit from her tactical bag.

As an elite criminal investigator, she had received relevant training.

"It's too late."

Lin Chen directly rejected her idea.

"The fuse structure of this military booby trap is very complex, and it is very likely that a secondary triggering device is installed."

"We don't have the option to make mistakes."

Su Qingge's heart sank to the bottom.

Moving forward meant certain death, while retreating might trigger other unknown traps; they seemed to be trapped in a dead end.

However, there was no trace of despair on Lin Chen's face.

His brain is working at a speed that surpasses that of a supercomputer.

If you can't disassemble it, then make it inoperable!

A bold and crazy idea formed in his mind.

He carefully put Su Qingge down, signaling her to stay where she was, and then began taking things out of his backpack.

Su Qingge was stunned.

Lin Chen first took out several long, thin objects wrapped in thermal cloth, which were still emitting wisps of white steam.

That's... dry ice?

He actually carries dry ice with him?!

Then, he took out a small bottle of high-purity medical alcohol.

Su Qingge was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Were they going to have a drink to celebrate before detonating the landmine?

Lin Chen ignored her questions. He carefully placed the dry ice on a flat stone and then slowly poured the alcohol onto it.

"Sizzle—!"

A violent burst of white mist instantly rose up! Dry ice and alcohol mixed, undergoing a violent sublimation reaction, and the surrounding temperature plummeted!

[God-level mastery of physics]!

[Amazing Chemistry Knowledge!]

Lin Chen used the principle of dry ice sublimation to absorb heat and created a simple but incredibly effective rapid cooling device!

Instead of touching it directly with his hands, he carefully used the tip of his dagger to pick up a small piece of dry ice mixture containing alcohol and emitting a frantic chill.

Then, he held his breath and slowly and steadily leaned forward.

His target was a tiny electronic fuse indicator light on the nearest landmine, flashing a faint red light.

The extremely cold material, at tens of degrees below zero, was gently and precisely attached to that tiny electronic fuse.

There was no explosion, no sound.

There was only a faint "click" sound.

At extremely low temperatures, the lithium battery inside the landmine instantly loses its chemical activity, and the electrolyte inside freezes, making it completely unable to discharge!

The red indicator light, which symbolized death, blinked twice with a struggle, and then went out completely!

It worked!

A confident smile curved at the corners of Lin Chen's lips.

He repeated the process, using the same method to put the electronic fuses of the other two landmines into a "dormant" state as well.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, a perfect blend of scientific rigor and violent aesthetics.

After doing all this, Lin Chen acted as if he had only done a trivial little thing.

He stood up, clapped his hands, easily stepped over the few nanowires that had lost their function, then turned around and reached out his hand to Su Qingge, who was still in shock.

"Let's go, my policewoman wife, let's see what kind of monsters are hiding in this cave."

Su Qingge stared blankly at him, placed her hand in his large and warm palm, and let him lead her into that deep darkness.

At that moment, she felt that even if it were hell, as long as this man was by her side, she would dare to venture into it.
