Chapter 400 - Defusing Her First Bomb (2/2)

Not too far away, Wolf whispered, ”You can do it!”

A tear rolled out of Hummingbird's right eye. She had never been responsible for so many lives before and it terrified her. She hesitated, ”I can't. You guys should hurry and leave.”

Amun's eyes opened wide in fear when he heard this. He couldn't die there, he still had a lot to live for.

”Screw you all! I'm not dying here!” he yelled.

Without a second thought, he jumped up and ran over to a rug on the floor. Before the agents could react, he quickly rolled it up to reveal a metal door in the floor.

When Sasquatch saw the door, he immediately realized what was happening. Of course! This man was much too selfish and narcissistic to sacrifice himself, so he definitely had an escape plan when he installed the bomb. This was his escape!

Amun pressed his thumb against a screen on the door to unlock it, and with a beep, the door unlocked. He quickly threw it open and tried to climb inside. It appeared to be an underground bunker of some sort. But, before he managed to escape, Sasquatch grabbed onto his arm and stopped him.

”Where do you think you're going?” he asked.

One minute.

Hummingbird pressed her knife against the yellow wire again. She was running out of time. She closed her eyes and got ready to cut it. It was now or never.

But, right at that very moment, a deep, calm, and confident male voice suddenly said into her earpiece, ”Cut the black one. The yellow one is fake.”

Halia looked at Jackson in surprise. He had been watching the footage and noticed the mistake.

Hummingbird opened her eyes in surprise and quickly looked at the black wire again. He was right. The yellow one was a distraction from the real one.

With half a minute left on the timer, she held her breath and grabbed the black wire...

Shup! She sliced through it in one clean movement. This time, there was no hesitation.

Everyone stopped breathing and the room fell silent.

Halia looked at Jackson, the BTA agents looked at each other, and Hummingbird looked at the timer on the bomb.

Six seconds...

The timer had stopped on six seconds...

She had successfully defused her first bomb...
