The boss walked up the stairs lightly, but when he saw no difference in the room, his steps were not light anymore .
She didn’t detonate the bomb?
WTF!
What the f**k!
“What happened? That little bastard left without doing anything?” the boss asked the person beside him .
The people outside didn’t really understand what happened so they told the boss about it .
Not long after he left, Ming Shu finished her food . She stood up and asked them for a pen . She wrote some numbers on the floor and said something to the experts . Then, she left .
They didn’t hear what she said but those experts looked enlightened . They were having a heated discussion and seemed to have found a solution .
Ming Shu told them the pattern of the time bombs .
First, find the real bombs within these 12 bombs .
Then, give a number to each real bomb, such as 1234 .
Before this, the experts never thought that there would be any fake bombs among these 12 bombs . There were trying to find the pattern within these 12 bombs . However, since there were fake bombs mixed within, they couldn’t find anything at all .
Ming Shu sat there and ate for half an hour . Besides eating, she didn’t even change her sitting position .
At that moment, she was so quiet she seemed non-existent .
The experts felt that they were too fickle . They couldn’t even calm down and were observed by a little girl .
The boss heard this and consoled himself that his salary didn’t go to waste .
After the experts finished discussing, they wore thick bomb disposal clothing and the boss asked everyone else to leave . They started disarming the bombs .
Just as the boss was waiting anxiously…
Rumble…
Pengpengpeng—
A series of violent explosions sounded . Dust and fire shot into the air . Screams and the sound of car sirens resounded through the air .
The cigarette that the boss was chewing fell to the ground . His body was covered with the dust that fell from the old residential building .
Why was there an explosion!?
Isn’t the bomb here?
The boss reacted and ran toward the venue of the explosion . He shouted as he ran, “Leave a team here! The rest of you, follow me . ”
The location of the explosion was one street away from them . The entire street was destroyed by the bomb . The air was filled with heatwaves and dust . It was suffocating .
Everyone was running toward a safe area . Only the people in police uniforms went against the crowd .
“Cough cough…”
Ming Shu’s throat was irritated and she coughed twice . The scene in front of her was blurry .
The car was deformed from the pressure . There were reinforcing bars and concrete outside the car . They had all fallen on the car .
In the dust, her vision was impaired . She could only reach out and feel the person next to her .
“Bei Tang?”
No one responded .
The explosion happened so suddenly . Bei Tang was angry at her before they came into the car so he sat on the other side . She didn’t have the time to…
Ming Shu’s hand shook . She felt her way to the other side .
The windows of the car were broken and there were glass shards all over the interior of the car . A few seconds later, she felt a warm body .
“Bei Tang?”
Little Beastie jumped out of Ming Shu’s pocket . It shook itself and a gentle glow came from its body . Ming Shu slowly started to see the situation around her .
Little Beastie jumped to a higher spot . Its black-stone eyes were cold as it looked at Ming Shu closing in on Bei Tang .
Ming Shu didn’t dare to move Bei Tang . His back was pierced by rebar . From his position, she guessed that he had been trying to move over to protect her .
Calm down .
It’s just a little injury, right?
She had suffered even more serious injuries than this . What was this to her…
Ming Shu’s hands opened and closed and opened and closed again . She didn’t know where to start .
… He was not her .
Trash-picker, are you all right?
Little Beastie’s voice sounded in her head .
“Yes . ”
She was fine . She didn’t lose a hair .
But Bei Tang…
Ming Shu searched the car . There were only some snacks in the backseat . The first aid kit was at the front but the front of the car was crushed from the pressure . She could only see a faint trace of blood .
Ming Shu never kept any medicine in Little Beastie’s space . She didn’t need it .
Ming Shu tried to break the rebar that was inside Bei Tang’s body . Then she carefully placed him on her . She didn’t dare to move at all .
Ming Shu took out her phone silently . It might be because of the explosion, but there was no signal around them at all .
She typed the message and passed the phone to Little Beastie . “Find a place with signal and send this message out . ”
The police did things too slowly and they had too many rules to follow . Only Ah Sen would be able to save them in the fastest possible way .
Little Beastie wanted to say something, but in the end, it bit the phone and squeezed its way out from the cracks . Once it was gone, it turned dark .
She could occasionally hear the explosions above .
She could also hear the sound of reinforcing bars pressing against the roof of the car . It was sinking in .
Ming Shu’s fingers moved . Lights appeared at her fingers . They looked similar to the lights on Little Beastie’s body . She drew a complicated symbol on the roof of the car as well as around them . The light seeped into the car . When the reinforcing bar sunk lower, there were no more changes to the car . It was very sturdy .
“Little Zhi…”
Ming Shu lowered her eyes and looked at the person in her arms . “Don’t talk . ”
Bei Tang’s face was totally white . He moved his lips . His voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz . “Are you… okay?”
He was not worried about himself . He was worried that something might happen to her .
“Nothing, I’m fine . Don’t talk, Ah Sen will be here soon . ”
“It’s good… that you’re okay . ” Bei Tang tried to hold Ming Shu’s hand . Ming Shu grabbed his hand tightly .
Bei Tang’s voice got weaker . Ming Shu had to lean on him before she could hear him . “Little Zhi, can you kiss me?”
Ming Shu held that position for three seconds before kissing him . There was a faint hint of blood in his mouth . Ming Shu cleared it for him little by little and replaced it with herself .
Bei Tang’s reaction was a bit slow .
“Little Zhi, you like me…”
The rest of his words disappeared in Bei Tang’s throat .
Bei Tang was only awake for a little while . He became unconscious again .
After a while, something sounded in the quiet car .
“… Yes . ”
It was misty and unreal like an illusion .
Little Beastie came back quickly . The information was sent out, but no one knew when rescue would come .
Ming Shu helped Bei Tang stop his bleeding, but she didn’t dare to touch him . He needed to go to the hospital immediately .
Little Beastie squatted beside Ming Shu . Its furry paws rested on Ming Shu’s hand .
Time passed . Bei Tang’s body started getting cold . Ming Shu grabbed the blanket at the back and used it to cover him .
Trash-picker, the rescuers above met with some obstacles . They say that there are gas pipes below so if they disturbed this area carelessly, another explosion might happen .
Little Beastie passed down the information it got from above .
Ming Shu sat in silence after she heard this news . After a long time, she took out the snacks from beside and finished them in an instant .
Little Beastie only looked at her . It didn’t snatch the snacks from her .
“Doctor, doctor…”
A girl covered in dirt rushed into the hospital . She was hugging a man covered in blood in her arms .
This combination was so weird, all the patients looked toward her .
The nurse ran forward and took a look . “Gurney, send him to the emergency room . Call for Doctor Zhou . ”
Someone pushed a gurney over very quickly and the nurse helped her to place the man on it . She pushed the gurney and ran in the direction of the emergency room .
Ming Shu stood in the same spot . Her face was pale . She was a little dizzy, but she could not faint now .
She limped toward the front desk and snatched the phone that the nurse was taking .
“Hey, you…”
Ming Shu forced a smile . “Let me make a call . ”
The nurse: “…”
