Bomb Disposal Elite

"The bomb is detonated by pressure, and the lead wire is connected somewhere in the car." Hawkins' cold voice entered Sean's ear along with the radio waves.

Is that all?

"This is the last test question Montero will give you, but there is no test without a time limit." Sean said.

Hawkins frowned, and continued to press down. He reached under the cushion and slowly pulled out an electronic watch, which was counting down. "There are 26 minutes left." Hawkins replied.

He continued to check the woman and found that in addition to the seat belt, she was also fixed to the chair by several wires at the waist. There was no pressure substitute to help this woman go.

"Hawkins, do you need a pressure replacement tool?" Sean asked.

"No, there are wires wrapped around her body, and the bomb must be dismantled." After Hawkins said this, Sean gasped.

The wiring is very complicated, and it is also connected to the engine and electrical circuits on the car, which forced Hawkins to open the front hood.

Sean glanced in Hawkins' direction, secretly speculating that the 20 minutes or so might not be enough for Hawkins to completely defuse the bomb.

With less than 10 minutes left, Sean took a breath and continued to be on guard carefully.

If this bomb is Montero's final test for Howkins, then no one should remotely control the bomb at a distance, because this is entirely between Montero and Howkins.

But there are contingencies in everything, and Sean still can't let himself relax. If that car is Hawkins' battlefield, then the place that Hawkins can't see is Sean's battlefield.

Hawkins tried to isolate the control effect of the detonator on the bomb, but the wiring was too complicated. He drew the circuit diagram in his mind and tried to cut a few wires but failed to stop the countdown.

He still needs more sophisticated calculations, he closed his eyes.

The woman looked at him and repeated in a low voice: "Help me...please...I still want to see my child..."

Howkins just replied coldly: "Keep quiet and don't hinder my thinking."

Sean glanced at his watch, 15 minutes to go, sweat dripping from his brow.

He really wanted to tell Hawkins to give up, but he knew he would not give up, because the purpose of his stay in Baghdad was to find Montero, even though his method of finding Montero was so clumsy.

Hawkins can defuse Montero's bombs countless times, and Montero can make new bombs countless times.

It's like an unsolvable equation.

"It's still twelve minutes." Jill backed away slowly, back to back with Sean, "Should we consider getting Hawkins back?"

"Wait a little longer." Twelve minutes is still a time when anything is possible.

At this moment Hawkins opened his eyes, fumbled around and cut a few threads again.He scrunches his eyes, putting together the rest of the wiring.

The woman closed her eyes and prayed to the gods for protection in a low voice.

But if her god really had mercy on her, she shouldn't have been chosen by that lunatic Montero.

"Nine minutes left." Jill swallowed.

"Wait a little longer." Sean understood what the bomb meant to Hawkins, and before the final death time, Sean couldn't persuade Hawkins to give up.

Hawkins went to the hood and found the wire that was connected to the engine, but couldn't cut it because it would cause a short circuit that would trigger the bomb.

Hawkins may feel nothing as every second goes by, but Sean can feel it clearly.

6 minutes left.

With his breath caught in Sean's throat, Sean knew he had to warn Hawkins.

"Hawkins, please call back when you hear it, please assess the possibility of dismantling the bomb by yourself, there are only 6 minutes left now!"

Hawkins didn't answer him, he was still lying beside the engine thinking about something.

Jill elbowed Sean, "How can I call him back?"

"Hawkins! Do you remember what you promised me? Apart from using small robots and wearing explosion-proof suits, you will definitely come back when you encounter bombs that cannot be dismantled!"

"I can definitely disassemble it." Howkins' answer made Sean angry. What does it mean?There are many things in this world that you want to do by yourself but are actually impossible!

"I want you back! Come back to Hawkins immediately!" Sean almost yelled.

"You know I have to disassemble it!" After Hawkins finished speaking, he tore off the explosion-proof coat, took it off the ground, ripped off the communicator, and concentrated on studying the engine.

Jill took a breath. "I'm just saying we can't make it to the last day without incident! That lunatic! Crazy Hawkins!"

With more than four minutes left, Sean gritted his teeth, put the gun on his back, and ran towards it.

"Sean—what are you doing!" Jill was shocked, and reached out to grab Sean's arm.

"I'm going to pull him back!" Sean was furious at this moment beyond words. He knew Hawkins' madness. His madness was that he could only focus on one thing and couldn't estimate his own life and everything else. something other than one thing.

When Sean came to Hawkins' side, there were less than 3 minutes left.

"Follow me immediately!" He grabbed Hawkins' hand, trying to get him out of here.

"I will lose the news of Montero! Don't you understand!" Hawkins also yelled at Sean.

"I understand that you are committing suicide now!"

Hawkins scowled, but still didn't want to give up.

Sean became furious in an instant, and punched Hawkins in the face: "Is it okay for me to die with you!"

Hawkins was slightly taken aback, and taking advantage of his absence, Sean grabbed him and ran a few steps away.When he reacted and looked back at the car, Sean gritted his teeth and yelled: "White doesn't want to see you so soon! As long as you live, you can still play that boring game with Montero outside of Baghdad !"

At that moment, perhaps because of the name "White", Hawkins woke up.

Sean turned his head, said "I'm sorry" to the woman in the car who was still praying in the Kurdish language he had just learned, and then ran forward with Hawkins.

They ran across the 25-meter death zone and rushed towards Jill, who was beckoning.

There was a loud noise behind them, the air swept them with great force and pushed them out. Sean threw himself on Hawkins, and when he fell to the ground, Sean couldn't hear or see, only the sound when he made contact with the ground. A feeling of almost shattering came along the nerves, and then everything fell into darkness again.

"Sean! Howkins!" Jill ran towards them.

Thick smoke poured into the air, the car was blown to pieces, the walls of the surrounding buildings collapsed, and the iron windows with shattered glass creaked and shook like broken bones sticking out of a grave.

Hawkins slowly got up, his left hand and left leg were in severe pain, which should have been injured when he fell to the ground.He couldn't hear anything in his head, just saw Jill and some soldiers running towards them.

Jill mouthed Sean's name, her expression was tangled, and there was a look of fear in her eyes--a fear that Hawkins was familiar with.

He turned his head slowly, only to realize that Sean was lying beside him.

There was an iron plate stuck in his back, and blood seeped through the camouflage uniform.He closed his eyes, and a small pool of blood dripped from his forehead on the ground.

He closed his eyes, with dust from the explosion on his face.

At that moment, the scene that appeared in Hawkins' dreams countless times was replayed before his eyes again, but the person in the picture was no longer White, but Sean.

"Sean..." Hawkins stretched out his hand to pull him, but Jill, who rushed over, shook off his hand.

Jill's expression is furious, he has a good ability to control emotions, this is what Dr. Gray once said to him, but at this moment, he can no longer control himself.

"Don't touch him! You madman - he told you to come back why don't you come back!" Jill reached out to feel Sean's pulse, and then yelled, "A soldier is down! We need first aid!"

Soon soldiers came over, trying to lift Sean up.

"Watch out for the wound on his back!"

"And his head! He must have had a concussion!"

Hawkins stretched out his hand in a daze, and before he touched Sean's fingers in the gap between the crowd, he was carried onto the stretcher.

Soon someone came to help him, but he refused and wanted to stand up by himself, but his left leg hurt.

"Brother! You must have a broken bone!" No matter how much Hawkins refused, a soldier supported him. "If that brother hadn't jumped at you from behind just now, you must have been stabbed by the explosive."

Hawkins didn't speak, just limped towards the direction where Sean was being carried away.

A few minutes later, the helicopter arrived to take Sean away.

Both Jill and Howkins got on the plane.

Jill kept pressing on the wound on Sean's back, lowered her face, and clenched her teeth.

"He ran over for you!"

Hawkins didn't speak, he just grabbed Sean's hand.

The medical staff came over and put on a breathing mask and blood bags for Sean.

"Why don't you come back?" Jill trembled, as if she might explode at any moment.If it wasn't for Sean's presence in the cramped helicopter, he would have fought Hawkins.

Hawkins remained silent like a statue.

The helicopter stopped and saw Louis in a white coat walking towards them quickly, followed by a group of doctors and nurses.
