Chapter 589: Psychological Contest
Su Chen let out a sigh of relief.
This actually made things simpler.
Next, it was easy, just cut the wires other than the two red ones.
"I'm going to cut now."
Although both Su Chen and the female warrior were sure that cutting the red wire should work, they couldn't help but break into a sweat.
Snap!
With Su Chen's move, the blue wire was severed by Dagger.
The landmine didn't explode!
Su Chen successfully disabled the landmine.
At this moment, both of them were drenched in sweat.
Especially the female warrior.
The psychological pressure she was facing was clearly much greater than Su Chen's.
It was because of her that Su Chen was forced into this dangerous situation.
If the landmine had exploded,
both she and Su Chen would have died, and they would have failed to avenge those Border Guards.
The national treasure would also have been lost overseas.
The two set off again.
Originally, Su Chen was thinking about how to explain to the female warrior.
After all, even though he had reasons for his earlier actions,
It was hard to explain how he finally picked up the red and blue wires and found the actual hidden firing wire.
Luckily, after that awkward moment, the female warrior felt too embarrassed to ask.
But she definitely had her suspicions.
Indeed, the female warrior had begun to suspect.
She suddenly felt that this guy might be an expert in Deceptive Mines.
Even those Deceptive Mines she had previously discovered were possibly due to this guy's subtle hints.
Is it really true, or just a coincidence?
Forget it.
Right now, the most important task is to find the group of cross-border violators.
Retrieve the cultural relics and avenge her comrades!
Relying on the military skills of a Special Soldier, the female warrior tracked the traces of those people.
Unfortunately, due to the presence of that expert in Deceptive Mines, just as she was about to succeed, they managed to escape every time.
It seems that if they don't take out that expert in Deceptive Mines, it was impossible to retrieve the cultural relics.
"Damn it, why can't we shake off that bitch like some clingy plaster!" the tall skinny guy was quite irritated.
He felt less secure with every day he didn't leave Huaxia.
In case Huaxia's reinforcements arrived, there would be no chance for him to leave.
"It seems that to leave, we must take her down first," said a tall, camouflaged American man, frowning.
He was the expert in Deceptive Mines, and also a very skilled Sniper,
hired by the Organization at a high cost.
"Scorpion, aren't you known as the ultimate jungle assassin? How come you can't deal with a woman?" After being chased by a woman for several days, everyone was irritated.
They clearly had so many people, yet they were restrained by one woman.
The American's face slightly darkened, but soon returned to normal, his eyes narrowing as he said, "If it was just that woman, I would have killed her a thousand times over."
"You mean, there's someone even more formidable than that woman?"
The American nodded and said, "On the way here, I laid five mines, one of which was a must-kill move targeted at the female warrior. If no one helped her, she should have been blown to pieces by now, but did you hear any mine go off?"
Scorpion, able to earn the title of ultimate jungle assassin, naturally had his extraordinary capabilities.
These people knew he was very skilled at sniping.
What they didn't know was that he was exceptionally good at setting Deceptive Mines.
With the abilities that the woman had shown, she couldn't even match the Dragon Team's standards and couldn't possibly avoid his Deceptive Mines.
If she had avoided them, it could only mean that there was someone even stronger with her.
Scorpion even suspected that the person who figured out his bullet was a one-shot might be the same person.
Hence, he used a decoy firing wire near the mine behind the tree.
Yet, it failed.
It seemed that the person was even more dreadful than he imagined.
"Boom!"
Just then, a loud blast rang out from two kilometers away.
The American's face lit up.
That was the seventh mine he had placed.
The seventh mine had finally exploded.
But this earned his respect,
for the opponent had managed to avoid his first six mines.
If laying the first six mines was just setting mines,
then this last one had risen to the level of art.
This seventh mine
was a must-kill trap within a must-kill setup.
Even if disarmed, it would still explode.
The reason was simple.
Because this seventh mine wasn't the only one!
Below the first mine, there was a second one buried.
When you think you've cleared the danger, danger is often closest to you.
When you're nervously disarming the mine, finally, the second mine buried underneath will ruthlessly take your life.
The explosion of the seventh mine was no surprise to Scorpion.
Because he hadn't just buried two mines.
But three!
Below the second mine, there was yet another one!
Meaning, even if Su Chen had cleared the first and second mines, he would still be killed by the third.
Likewise, during the first mine, he also used the decoy firing wire strategy.
This made the opponent more likely to be complacent after disarming the first mine.
It was entirely a psychological battle.
Fortune had it that the seventh mine finally did its part.
"If there are no surprises, we won't have to run anymore," Scorpion relaxed completely.
Indeed, during this time of being chased by the female warrior, he had undergone unusual torment.
Apart from him, all the rest were hopeless.
Had it not been for the high commission, he would have preferred to just kill these people.
Over these days, to prevent being wiped out by the female warrior, he had barely closed his eyes.
His mental and physical strength were both nearly at their limits.
That's why he had suggested taking the initiative to attack and kill the female warrior.
Because he feared that if this continued, he might be drained to death.
As a Sniper cum Bomber, his own combat power was relatively weak, his physical condition far better than ordinary people, but no match for the rigorously trained female warrior.
He needed a quick and decisive battle.
But now it didn't matter anymore.
The explosion of the mine meant he no longer needed to flee.
