Chapter 588: Who is the Opponent?
Actually, the female warrior knew the gravity of the situation without Su Chen's reminder.
She didn't even dare to speak now.
Su Chen picked up Dagger and began to gently clear the mud under the female warrior's feet.
Bit by bit, he shoveled away the soil.
As the soil was cleared, a dark object came into view.
Sure enough, it was a Bomb!
Although she had already known that there was a Bomb under her feet, the sight of it still sent a surge of fear through the female warrior.
Having dared to enter the jungle to pursue those people, she had long ago resigned herself to the possibility of death.
She wasn't afraid to die; what she feared was failing to avenge her fallen comrades.
Failing to recover Huaxia's national treasure!
That's why she didn't want to die.
This was a very delicate task; applying too much force could easily trigger the Bomb's Explosion.
At such a close distance, and facing her, if the Bomb exploded,
Su Chen couldn't even guarantee his own survival.
He had never tested whether Black Stone could repair his head if it were blown to pieces.
Clearly, the female warrior was doomed as well.
Fine beads of sweat emerged on Su Chen's forehead.
The female warrior didn't dare to make a single move at this moment.
Her only hope of survival now rested with this man.
This man seemed ordinary, timid, but his actions were always surprising.
Not to mention how he managed to find the Bomb, just him daring to lie down and deactivate it demonstrated tremendous courage.
Su Chen had agreed to join her only because she had pointed a gun at him.
At this moment, he could have completely run away alone.
Yet he had chosen to save her.
Not to mention, this man, when serious, looked quite good-looking.
Finally, Su Chen had exposed most of the Bomb.
Turning his head, he found the female warrior gazing at him intently.
"What should I do next?" Su Chen's throat moved slightly as he spoke.
He actually knew how to deactivate the Bomb.
But still, he didn't want to reveal too much.
Guessing the presence of the Bomb, and uncovering it,
He could come up with reasonable explanations.
But once the Bomb was defused,
His true identity would inevitably be exposed.
"First unscrew that screw... Yes, that one..."
Under the female warrior's direction, Su Chen slowly removed the cover on the side of the Bomb.
Then, several colored wires were exposed.
"Cut the red wire."
Su Chen reached out to cut the wire.
"Wait!" the female warrior stopped him again.
"What's wrong?" Su Chen asked.
"Let me do it, you move back a bit." the female warrior bit her lip and said.
Although she recognized the model of the Bomb,
And she knew that cutting that particular wire would prevent the Bomb from exploding,
Who could know if the enemy had tampered with the Bomb?
A regular Bomber knew how to modify Bombs,
Let alone an Advanced Deceptive Mine expert.
By now, the female warrior also understood that this Bomber was no ordinary person.
She had fallen for the trap herself.
If the enemy had tampered with the Bomb,
Then she and Su Chen would die together.
Su Chen also fell into thought,
Continuously speculating on the Deceptive Mine expert's mindset.
Now, it had become a psychological battle.
Although there were only two wires, chopping at random had a fifty percent chance of survival.
But if the wrong wire was cut, certain death awaited.
Therefore, he had to understand the mental process of the person who planted the Deceptive Mine.
If the opponent was a novice,
Then the Bomb ahead would have been enough to kill them.
However, the fact that the opponent had reached this point before stepping on the Bomb
Clearly indicated that they understood some tricks of Deceptive Mines.
Conventional reasoning could not apply.
If he were that Deceptive Mine expert, he would definitely have tampered with the wires.
That is to say, if Su Chen cut the red wire now, the likelihood of the Bomb exploding was very high.
But it also couldn't be said that cutting the blue wire would guarantee success.
Because the enemy might have deliberately chosen not to switch the order.
So even Su Chen couldn't be certain which wire to cut.
If Su Chen couldn't be sure, the female warrior certainly couldn't be.
That's why she said to let Su Chen move away and she would cut the wire herself.
That way, even if the Bomb exploded, Su Chen would still be able to live.
Essentially, she was prepared to take a chance.
After all, it was still a fifty percent chance to live.
However, Su Chen wasn't planning to rely on that fifty percent chance.
"I said, I'll cut it myself!" Seeing Su Chen still studying which wire to cut first, the female warrior frowned.
Didn't Su Chen know that if the Bomb exploded, he would die?
Yet, Su Chen directly replied to her with two words.
"Shut up!"
This was the first time the female warrior had been yelled at in such a way by a man.
And yet, she actually shut up.
Su Chen continued to ponder the possibilities.
If the Bomb was set to target the female warrior, then cutting either the red or the blue wire allowed a glimmer of hope.
But if the Bomb was meant to target someone of his caliber?
Keep in mind that the female warrior had dared to charge out because he had deduced that the enemy Sniper had only one bullet left.
Being able to judge the number of bullets in such a situation was not something ordinary people could do.
So, to deal with such a person, the Bomber would have certainly set a more advanced trap.
At this thought, Su Chen pulled out both the blue and red wires.
Then, he took in a sharp breath.
Turns out, the blue and red wires were connected together below.
Both connected to a single blue wire.
Which meant, whether he cut the red or blue wire, it was equivalent to cutting the red wire.
The Bomb would explode either way.
How could an ordinary person ever conceive that someone would extend the Bomb's detonation wire,
Creating a ruse with the two upper wires, where cutting either would set off the Bomb?
In fact, even Su Chen hadn't considered it at first.
It was only when he last thought that the opponent might not be targeting the female warrior, but the person who had deduced there was only one bullet,
Did he begin to suspect such a mechanism might exist.
And indeed, he had guessed right.
Seeing this, the female warrior was completely stunned.
Originally, she thought she had a fifty percent chance of surviving.
Yet she hadn't expected that if she had cut it herself, the death rate would have been a hundred percent!
