When Ming Shu entered the room, she knew why they were helpless.
There was no furniture in this small room. On the ground, time bombs were placed in a circle. The red and green wires linked the bombs and they all converged in the middle.
There was a number jumping on the time bombs. Every time it jumped, a di sound would ring out. The sound echoed in the room and seemed extra grating on the ear.
The numbers would jump from one bomb to another, and then to the next… and the bombs were all separated.
That meant that after the first one jumped, the next one might be the sixth bomb. There was no pattern at all.
Every second, a number appeared.
17489…
17488…
17487…
This was the countdown. There were still less than six hours left. When she came, the bomb had been monitored for more than five hours. This meant the countdown was set at 12 hours.
The time given was ample.
