Chasing the Mist

9 minutes 32 seconds

9 minutes 31 seconds

......

The red numbers on the LCD screen are particularly shocking. Everyone's hearts seem to be tied to those numbers. Every time a second is reduced, the heart beats violently. For a moment, the room is so quiet that you can hear each other's breathing.

Zheng Tiancheng recovered from the silence, lowered his head and said to himself: "Bomb disposal experts... phone, phone" as he spoke, he reached into his trouser pocket for his phone.

Lin Yiran looked at the screen, at 9 minutes and 12 seconds, "It's too late, they won't be able to make it in 9 minutes."

Zheng Tiancheng pinched the phone and wanted to slide the screen saver, but his hand seemed to be degraded, and he couldn't slide the pattern screen lock several times, and the phone fell on the sofa next to him in anger, "Fuck! Could it be that watching it turn the building Fried flat?"

9 minutes 03 seconds.

Gu Xun stared at the gradually decreasing numbers expressionlessly, his stern face turned cold and serious, his voice was terribly hoarse and cold, "Contact the property right away, disperse the residents of the community, hide as far away as possible, other People evacuate immediately, hurry up!"

"Go, go, come with me." Zheng Tiancheng responded to Gu Xun's instructions and took people to evacuate the residents. When he ran to the door, he stopped suddenly and turned around. "Boss, what are you doing standing there? Let's go?"

Meng Jia stood next to Gu Xun without moving, "Boss, I will stay with you."

Lin Yiran didn't move either, staring at the monitor without knowing what to think.

Zheng Tiancheng finally realized what was going on, turned around and walked back, "I'll stay too."

8 minutes 50 seconds.

Gu Xun stretched out his hand and pushed Meng Jia, with a vein sticking out of his neck, he shouted, "Fuck off, whoever stays with me will resign."

After the words fell, Lin Yiran was the first to run out.

Meng Jia staggered and couldn't stand still, Zheng Tiancheng strode forward to catch her, "Jiajia, listen to the boss, go down first."

Meng Jia turned her head and walked a few steps out. When she reached the door, she saw Lin Yiran coming out of Room 2101 carrying a toolbox, passing by her like the wind. At that moment, she made a firm choice and pushed Zheng Tiancheng away, "I want to stay. .” After speaking, he turned and went back.

8 minutes 01 seconds.

A horn sounded from downstairs: "There is a life-threatening emergency in Building 23, all residents, get out of your house immediately, get out of your house right away..."

The honking of the horn was repeated, and then the noise of the rowdy crowd grew louder.

The voice downstairs reassured Gu Xun. He stared at the red and blue wires for a while, confused.

Bomb disposal can seem like a gamble to the uninitiated.

If you stay to try your luck, you have a 50.00% chance of winning, and if you leave, you will suffer 100% casualties. The consequences are unimaginable. Gu Xun has no choice but to gamble with his life.

Lin Yiran opened the toolbox, took out the iron pliers and handed it to Gu Xun, pointed to one of the red wires, "Brother, cut this one first."

Hearing the sound, Gu Xun realized that he hadn't left. He took the iron tongs with one hand, grabbed his collar with the other, and roared, "Lin Yiran, get out quickly, this is no joke."

7 minutes 53 seconds.

Lin Yiran's eyes as deep as a pool were still calm, and he calmly reminded Gu Xun: "Brother, there is no time."

Gu Xun came back to his senses, let go of Lin Yiran, and when he turned around, Zheng Tiancheng and Meng Jia were beside him.

7 minutes 34 seconds.

No time to worry about other things, Gu Xun took a deep breath, strode forward, and decisively cut the red wire.

Needle drop can be heard indoors, and nothing has changed except for dwindling numbers.

All four breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yiran approached, knelt down and fiddled with those wires gently, and pointed to a blue wire, "Brother, this one."

Gu Xun's heart, which was hanging out of the sky, fell back to the ground. When he raised his hand to cut it, Lin Yiran stretched out his hand to hold his hand without iron tongs, crossed his fingers, and the temperature in his palm continued to spread. A wave of warmth flowed into the bottom of his heart, rushing To dissipate the fear of death, he cut the blue thread with his fingers and closed his eyes at the same time.

Relying on Lin Yiran's little knowledge of bomb disposal and luck, they wandered back and forth on the edge of death for a few times without incident.

5 minutes 36 seconds.

There are three blue, three red, and six wires left. The four of them, together with the residents downstairs who didn't run far, all hang on these wires.

From the book, Lin Yiran seemed to have exhausted his meager knowledge. He looked at the wires, racked his brains to recall, held Gu Xun with his hands, bit his lower lip tightly, and frowned.

The eyes of the other three fell on Lin Yiran, and after two seconds, Zheng Tiancheng pointed to the blue wire in the middle, Boss, let's just use this one, there is no time, if you hesitate any longer, we will surely die. "

5 minutes 06 seconds.

5 minutes 05 seconds.

……

With every second that time decreases, death is one step closer.

For them, 5 minutes is really a gamble, and there is no time to wait for the result of Lin Yiran's thinking. Gu Xun raised his hand a little closer to the blue line, and when his fingers were about to use force, Lin Yiran suddenly shouted: "Don't touch the blue line in the middle. color, cut the red one on the left."

After saying that, he hugged Gu Xun and closed his eyes.

After cutting the red thread, Gu Xun also closed his eyes, and naturally held the hand that Lin Yiran embraced at his waist.

Wait for the bang to explode, and life is over.

The world became black, the earth seemed to stop rotating, and it was frozen at that moment quietly. Lin Yiran's calm breathing was in his ears, blowing into his heart like a gust of warm wind, peaceful and distant, so death can be so stable.

"Fuck! Lin Yiran, you can do it."

With a loud voice, Zheng Tiancheng brought Gu Xun back to reality, opened his eyes, the teddy bear was still there, and the numbers were still counting down.

Not as ecstatic as Zheng Tiancheng, Gu Xun's first reaction was to reach out to touch the cigarette, and found that he was actually holding Lin Yiran's hand, so he quickly let go, and came out of Lin Yiran's arms sideways.

4 minutes 48 seconds.

Gu Xun clenched the iron tongs tightly, and bent down again to get close to the remaining wires. At some point, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his palms. Among the five wires, there must be one that exploded. He had a vague premonition that there would be no such thing as last time Such luck, before the cut, he suddenly turned his head and shouted angrily: "There are 4 minutes and 22 seconds left, you guys get out immediately, the elevator takes 21 seconds to reach the first floor, and the remaining 4 minutes are desperately running, do you hear me?"

Meng Jia's eyes turned red in an instant, "Boss, there is news from outside that the community has almost been evacuated. Let's go together. I will never let you stay to die by yourself. If you want to die, we will die together."

"Zheng Tiancheng! Am I talking fart? Hurry up and take her away, hurry up!" Gu Xun's roaring tone was mixed with a hint of pleading. Meng Jiacai is a student who just graduated, and she has suffered enough. Even under the Nine Springs, he can't be at peace.

Zheng Tiancheng gritted his teeth, and dragged Meng Jia out forcibly, and the two of them finally got out.

Gu Xun relaxed a little, caught a glimpse of Lin Yiran, and immediately went back nervously. This person is more difficult to deal with than Meng Jia. He adjusted his breathing, "Go out and listen to brother once, okay?"

"it is good."

Gu Xun was slightly startled, and then shouted outside the door: "Zheng Tiancheng, wait for the elevator."

While speaking, Lin Yiran unfastened the bandage on the bad arm, endured the pain, approached quietly, picked up Gu Xun while not paying attention, and ran out.

It was the first time in Gu Xun's life that someone carried him away. He was anxious and angry, pinching his neck and yelling, "Put me down quickly, fuck! You're fucking deaf..."

Lin Yiran was sweating coldly on his forehead, and his face gradually turned pale, "He must have guessed that we would defuse the bomb, so there is no broken thread at all, and if it is subtracted, he will definitely die. Gu Xun, we have to save our lives to catch him. You must not die in the trap he set up."

Gu Xun was quiet.

After entering the elevator, Lin Yiran put down Gu Xun, covered his right arm with his left hand, and leaned against the elevator to pant slightly, while Zheng Tiancheng next to him also panted heavily.

Gu Xun: "..."

When the elevator reached the third floor, he looked at the time, "There are still 2 minutes and 4 seconds, get out of the elevator and run west, and run out through the small pedestrian gate on the west side."

Zheng Tiancheng: "OK."

After leaving the building gate, the four of them ran desperately. After a short distance, there was a huge explosion sound, bricks and glass fell with a bang, other buildings shook, and screams continued.

Accompanied by the sound of the explosion, there was a strong impact behind him, pushing Gu Xun to the side of the big willow tree by the roadside. Someone was protecting him tightly, and his head was wrapped inside with both hands. After a few minutes, the rumbling sound gradually died down. Gu Xun's blank brain gradually turned, and his ears were buzzing, "Lin is also like that?"

The person on the back didn't move, didn't reply.

"Lin Yiran speak, don't pretend to be dead for me."

The person on his back finally moved, and lowered his head in his ear, "Stop shouting, I'm not dead." After saying that, he rolled over from his back.

Gu Xun heaved a sigh of relief, then stood up, looked blankly at the debris all around him, subconsciously touched the cigarette, put it in his mouth, pressed the hand of the lighter, for some reason, suddenly trembled uncontrollably, he forced the fire, leaned on the tree , with one hand in his pocket and the other smoking a cigarette, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Yiran.

Lin Yiran stood up after him, leaned against the tree next to Gu Xun, turned his head to look at him and smiled.

This man can actually laugh.

It's fucking crazy to do it again and again.

Gu Xun took a long puff of cigarette.

Through the thin smoke, Lin Yiran saw his beautiful face, which was as cold as ice, and the cold light in his eyes almost froze people. Lin Yiran was too familiar with this look. The cold current before the blizzard suddenly caught him with a strong hand. He pressed back hard on his neck, and a faint smell of tobacco came over him.

"Enough is enough, isn't it?" Gu Xun squeezed Lin Yiran's chin, and turned to the ruined building, "I can see clearly that the bricks and tiles were blown away from such a tall building, and it will be destroyed if it is destroyed... Blocking the gun and accompanying the bombing, your life is so worthless?" The last few words almost popped out from between his teeth.

Lin Yiran smiled lightly, his eyes were full of complacency, "It's already disabled".

Gu Xun let go of his hand, spit out the smoke in one gulp, extinguished it, and quickly swept his eyes around Lin Yiran, "Where is the injury?"

"Leg, possibly broken leg."

Gu Xun bent down slightly, picked up Lin Yiran on his back, passed through the ruins and the jeering crowd, and walked quickly to the ambulance on the side of the road.

Lin Yiran put his arms around his neck, tilted his head and whispered in his ear, "What's the rush? Are you distressed?"

"To shut up."

"Brother, walk slowly and be careful not to fall, it's already broken, and it won't go back for a while."

Gu Xun slowed down a little, "Your body is your own, can you cherish it a little?"

Lin Yiran pecked his earlobe and said casually, "I love you more than myself."

Gu Xun was speechless for a moment, but after a while, he said angrily, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw it down for you."

Lin Yiran smiled, and blew lightly into his ear, "You are reluctant to throw it away."

Gu Xun's ears were itchy and his face was hot, "We were almost killed in the bombing just now. Meng Jia and Zheng Tiancheng don't know what's going on yet. Can you please see the occasion?"

"Look over there, they're fine, they've been eating and sleeping in the bureau recently, how do we divide the occasions? Honey, I—"

"Do you know that the fracture needs to be operated on? Shut up and rest for a while, and talk about the rest later."

At the side of the road, several medical staff gathered around, carried Lin Yiran onto a stretcher, rolled up his trouser legs, the skin and flesh of his calf were opened, and the blood was red. The doctor looked down and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and send him away."

In a hurry, Gu Xun grabbed the doctor and asked, "How is his leg?"

"It's very serious. If the blood vessel cannot be repaired, the limb will be amputated. Let his family members go to the hospital as soon as possible." After speaking, the doctor hurried into the car.

Gu Xun froze, and the ambulance was about to close, so he slowed down, jumped into the car, and held Lin Yiran's hand, "It's okay, I'll go to the hospital to put a steel plate later, and we'll go home."

When the two faced each other, Lin Yiran lost the vigor he had when he was on Gu Xun's back, and nodded wearily, "Brother, how was the scene?"

"The fire department has been contacted and the number of casualties is being counted. Meng Jia is fine, and Zheng Tiancheng is also being sent to the hospital."

"Have you found out the owner of 2102? I seem to have seen him somewhere."

"Don't worry about it, I'll tell you if there is a situation, take a rest."

When he arrived at the hospital, Lin Yiran was immediately pushed into the operating room.

Gu Xun waited outside, while impatient, he did not forget to call his colleagues in the team, "Has the owner of 2102 been found out?"

"Boss, the owner of 2102 has been found out. His name is Zheng Yi, male, 22 years old...but he is now missing."
