“Look at the ashes on the ground!”
Qin Yuan pointed at the gray powder on the ground and said.
“What’s wrong? Isn’t this just the ashes of some ordinary burning things?”
The old man asked in confusion.
” No, take a closer look at the pattern formed by the ashes. Doesn’t it say ‘I’m here?!”
Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of joy in his tone.
The old man took a closer look and said,”
“No, why can’t I tell?”
The old man asked in confusion.
Qin Yuan smiled.
“Come to my direction and take a look.”
Qin Yuan and the old man were on both sides of the ashes, in opposite directions.
The old man suddenly understood.
He walked to Qin Yuan’s position and took a closer look. Indeed, the pattern just now was the distress signal that Qin Yuan had mentioned!
“Smart!”
The old man patted Qin Yuan’s shoulder happily.
“I almost missed important information!”
“Look, these ashes seem to be spreading all the way over there!”
The two of them followed the trail of ashes until they reached an inconspicuous vase at the side.
It was a very old vase. The outer walls of the vase were already mottled, revealing an ink-black outer wall.
It was impossible to tell what material it was made of, but its appearance was very huge, reaching the height of Qin Yuan’s chest.
“Is there something wrong with this vase?”
Qin Yuan came forward and carefully examined the vase.
The old man also came to the front. Looking at the vase, he said calmly,
“This is a valuable item in the organization. Why is it here?”
“It should have been in the organization’s museum. I’ve seen this thing there before.”
The old man said in a deep voice.
” That’s strange. Did someone put it here on purpose?”
” I don’t know, but this must be related to Green Snake’s disappearance.”
the old man said.
After saying that, he began to search the surroundings again.
Qin Yuan did not idle around either. He followed suit and searched for clues here.
After searching for a while, she heard Qin Yuan’s happy shout.
“Found it!”
He found a hidden mechanism on the ground beside him.
The stone slab on the ground was movable, and after moving it away, there was a rectangular b.u.t.ton below it!
Qin Yuan pressed the b.u.t.ton excitedly. The vase moved naturally, and then, a hole the size of half a person appeared on the wall in front of him!
Qin Yuan took a deep breath.
He really hid it well!
“There must be clues about Green Snake in here!”
The old man also shouted happily.
Just as the two of them were excited, a faint shout came from inside. It felt like it came from afar.
“Is anyone there? Help!”
Qin Yuan and the old man looked at each other. Although the voice was very blurry, they could tell that it belonged to a man, and it sounded like the voice of a green snake.
The two of them were overjoyed. Then, they quickly entered the secret pa.s.sage and walked inside.
The secret pa.s.sage was not complicated. There was only one path. Soon, the two of them walked dozens of meters and entered another dark room. In the middle of the room, they saw a man tied to the ground. His mouth was covered and he could only stammer.
The two of them looked closely. It was indeed Green Snake!
“Green Snake!”
Qin Yuan immediately rushed forward, untied Green Snake, and tore off the tape on its mouth.
“Leave this place immediately!”
After Green Snake’s tape was torn off, the first thing it said was this.
“What?”
Qin Yuan revealed a puzzled expression.
” They’ve planted a bomb here. It’s going to explode soon. Let’s go!”
Green Snake shouted.
This was the first time Qin Yuan had seen him so excited.
The old man was also surprised.
“They deliberately gave you away so that you would walk into the trap! Let us be buried here together!”
Green Snake almost cried.
After Qin Yuan untied him, Green Snake immediately stood up, grabbed the two of them, and ran out.
Although Qin Yuan and the old man were not very clear about the reason, they believed in Green Snake and could only follow him out.
“Can you tell me what’s going on? Start after we split up!”
Qin Yuan asked as he ran.
“There’s no time to explain! The most important thing now was to leave this place! Otherwise, we’ll all be blown into powder!”
Green Snake said without turning his head.
“The exit here has been sealed.”
Qin Yuan said loudly from behind.
Green Snake in front of him trembled as if it had been electrocuted.
Then, he said in a very shocked tone.
“Sealed up? Good heavens!”
“When we came in, the door closed automatically.”
The old man beside him echoed.
” Then we’re going to die here?!”
Green Snake looked sad.
“When I came in, I was blindfolded! I don’t know the way out either!”
“Don’t be anxious. Anxious won’t solve the problem.”
“Do you know how much time we have left and where the bombs are?”
Qin Yuan asked.
Since he couldn’t find a way out, he would try to solve the problem inside.
This was what he thought.
“The bomb was in the room I was in just now! They installed it personally, and I saw it clearly!”
Green Snake said worriedly.
“According to them, when I was tied up there, the explosion would happen within half an hour! The range is 500 meters!”
Qin Yuan pondered for a moment and quickly calculated the distance here and the time they had spent just now.
They had walked for about ten minutes from the door, and the distance was estimated to be more than 500 meters. However, whether this was a straight line distance was still unknown.
Moreover, since the other party had set up such a trap for them, they must have considered this point. Therefore, it was obviously unrealistic to think that they could hide outside the range of the explosion by luck.
The only way now was to find the source of the bomb and see if he could resolve the crisis.
Qin Yuan told Qin Yuan and the old man his thoughts.
” Right now, we have about ten minutes left. We still have a chance to turn the tables.”
Qin Yuan said in a low voice.
“You really dare to think that way!”
Green Snake shouted in dissatisfaction.
“They will definitely think of this!”
Green Snake’s voice was filled with fear and despair.
“Do you think we still have a choice?”
Qin Yuan asked coldly.
As soon as he said this, the few of them fell silent.
That’s right. Only by seeking opportunities in desperate situations could one have a chance of survival. It was simply a waste of time to complain here.
“I also agree with Qin Yuan’s thoughts. Our only chance now is to defuse the bomb.”
Upon hearing the old man’s words, Green Snake seemed to have a sudden epiphany.
His teacher had already acknowledged Qin Yuan, so he knew that he had indeed been too fl.u.s.tered just now.
“Yes, I was too excited just now. After thinking about it seriously, I still have to calm down to solve the problem.”
Green Snake’s voice became steady.
“Okay, take me to the bomb now.”
Green Snake nodded and immediately turned around to walk inside.
The three of them rushed to the room as fast as they could.
Green Snake led the way and pointed at a black object on the ground.
“Right here.”
He walked forward and took a closer look. It was indeed a time bomb. There was a number written on it:
7:45.
Time pa.s.sed by slowly.
This was a very complicated time bomb. There were three pieces in total, and each piece had a very complicated circuit. There were at least dozens of wires, and each of them had to be safely removed without a single mistake.
Qin Yuan did not hesitate at all. He frowned and took out a precise circular instrument from his backpack and placed it in front of him.
“What is this?”
The old man frowned and asked.
“This is why I came here so confidently.”
Qin Yuan said in a low voice.
“This is the bomb disposal device that Xiaoxiao prepared for us.”
Qin Yuan’s voice was filled with incomparable confidence.
