Chapter 270 Bomb Explosion!
At this very moment, a dozen police officers dressed in bomb suits have gathered in the tunnel of Metro Line 1.
One of the officers, a rather handsome man, was squatting next to a high-explosive bomb with no time limit, smoking a half-burnt cigarette.
His lips curled slightly, and his deep eyes were not looking at the bomb, but at the bottomless tunnel not far away. The blast helmet on his head was placed at his feet.
All the bomb disposal officers were on edge, after all, they were surrounded by a powerful bomb.
Only the police officer, who was leisurely smoking, remained completely calm.
He was Peng Zhenping, the captain of the Mobile Explosive Ordnance Disposal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, who had already experienced countless bomb disposal missions.
The tunnel is located right in the middle of the main road, where police have blocked off the route and evacuated all the people in time.
A police car drove up from a short distance away on the main road and stopped at the roadside. Officer Peng Tian got out of it.
He used a walkie-talkie to call Peng Zhenping, who was in the subway tunnel.
"You've really worked hard, Zhenping. You're going to make a great contribution again this time."
Hearing the voice on the walkie-talkie while inside the subway tunnel, Peng Zhenping raised an eyebrow slightly, took a deep drag on his cigarette—a habit he'd developed before defusing a bomb.
"It's alright, cousin. This is just a bomb with a higher power than a regular bomb. There's not much of a feeling. The bomb's calculator has already stopped, so it's just a matter of time before it's dismantled."
Peng Zhenping glanced contemptuously at the bomb placed on the subway tracks and replied indifferently.
It seems that this kind of bomb is child's play for him.
"Nonsense, all the brothers in our Metropolitan Police Department call you a bomb disposal expert with a 100% success rate. So, can you handle this in three minutes?"
Peng Tian glanced around to make sure no other people might accidentally wander into the area, and then replied.
After all, we still need to be cautious.
"Three minutes? No, three minutes is a bit difficult. I took a quick look at the internal structure of this bomb, and it's a bit complicated. It has a photosensitive detonator connected to a photocell. As soon as the subway starts running, this bomb will explode in less than five seconds. Fortunately... well, it should take about five minutes to deactivate."
Peng Zhenping stared intently at the bomb on the track, the dim timer on it filling him with a sense of unease.
"Then why are you still making a fuss? Are you smoking again? When are you going to break this bad habit? I won't say anything if you smoke normally, but you have to smoke while defusing bombs... I'm really fed up with you."
Peng Tian, along with several police officers, arrived at the very center of the main road, directly above Peng Zhenping and the others, though at a slightly higher distance.
"Cousin, don't get so excited. Once I've defused this bomb, remember to treat me to spicy hot pot. I haven't had it in ages, I really miss it."
Peng Zhenping, holding a walkie-talkie, squatted down next to the bomb and began taking out bomb disposal tools. He chuckled softly and replied.
"Ha! You want me to treat you? Then hurry up and finish defusing the bomb and get out here."
Peng Tian smiled and said.
"Hmm." After replying, Peng Zhenping's expression turned serious. He began to unpack the bomb with both hands, and his brows furrowed as he looked at the internal mechanism.
This bomb may seem simple and easy to defused, but it is actually full of traps. A novice bomb disposal expert or someone with limited experience would definitely fall into the trap.
"By the way, Zhenping, are you wearing a bomb suit?" Peng Tian suddenly asked with concern.
Upon hearing the sudden ringing of the walkie-talkie, Peng Zhenping paused slightly, then smiled faintly and replied:
"Cousin, why would I wear something so hot and bulky, especially in this stuffy tunnel? I'll suffocate."
Upon hearing this, Peng Tian frowned immediately and snapped, "..."
"Get lost! Do you want to die? Why aren't you wearing riot gear?!"
Peng Zhenping was slightly taken aback by his anger, and then fell silent.
He had disregarded life and death ever since he joined the riot police unit. Protecting the safety of the people was his responsibility, and defusing bombs was his duty.
The next moment, Peng Zhenping closed his eyes and sighed softly:
"If I die, cousin, you can avenge me and bring the culprit who planted the bomb to justice. That way, my sacrifice won't have been in vain, will it?"
Hearing this, Peng Tian frowned even more deeply and said coldly:
“If you continue to disregard your own life, I will sever our brotherhood.”
"Hehe, no, cousin, I was just joking, okay? Seriously, you can't even take a joke."
Peng Zhenping smiled faintly and replied.
"Hmph! Anyway, you better hurry up and defuse the bomb and come back."
Peng Tian looked down at the ground and said.
"No problem, haha."
Peng Zhenping's lips curled up, his eyes fixed on the bomb on the track, just as he was about to hang up the phone.
Suddenly!
The timer on the bomb suddenly appeared!
