197: I don't believe in Comrade Xiao's abilities.

Xiao Niannian squatted nearby, her eyes fixed on the bomb, ready to act at any moment.

"Click."

Hearing the sound of Lu Jing cutting the wire, Xiao Niannian’s heart leaped.

"Drip, drip, drip..."

The dripping sound suddenly stopped.

Lu Jing immediately removed the bomb and threw it into the river with all his strength.

Comrade Ning had been holding his breath, but now seeing the bomb thrown into the river, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Little Lu."

"Comrade Ning, this is what we ought to do."

Comrade Zhou became agitated seeing Comrade Ning's bomb successfully disarmed.

That's great! This Comrade Lu is truly capable; he actually managed to disarm the bomb. He is saved.

Lu Jing walked toward Comrade Zhou. Just one step in, Lu Jing heard a sound, and he immediately lunged toward Xiao Niannian, shielding her beneath him.

Xiao Niannian sensed something was wrong and was also preparing to lunge toward Lu Jing. Seeing Lu Jing pounce, she stopped moving.

"Boom."

After a deafening sound, the river water exploded seven or eight meters high.

The fish, stones, and aquatic plants inside were all blasted into the sky and landed on the riverbank... As Xiao Niannian fell to the ground, she lunged toward Comrade Ning, protecting him while Lu Jing protected her.

"Take cover."

Lu Jing's voice rang out.

"Take cover."

Instructor Qin's voice also rang out.

The voices of many people giving warnings also rang out.

Many people lunged toward their teammates, and some blocked the blast for Comrade Zhou, Elder Lin, and Elder Zhao.

The shockwave from the explosion was huge. Fortunately, Lu Jing threw it very far. Although everyone felt a little uncomfortable after the blast, no one was seriously injured.

Xiao Niannian climbed up and looked at Lu Jing.

"Are you alright?"

Her hand gripped Lu Jing's arm tightly, looking at him with a face full of worry.

"I'm fine."

"Comrade Ning, are you alright?"

Hearing Lu Jing's words and looking at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian, Comrade Ning said with a smile.

"Thank you both, I'm fine."

Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian, a faint smile on his face.

After everyone got up, they checked on each other.

Comrade Zhou shouted at this moment.

Hearing Comrade Zhou's cry of pain, Lu Jing and Instructor Qin walked over.

"Comrade Zhou, we are going to disarm the bomb now. Lie still and don't move..."

Hearing Instructor Qin's words, Comrade Zhou finally recovered from the recent explosion. He had been so scared his soul nearly left his body.

A Soldier had lunged over to shield him from the flying water and splashing stones, but he was still angry inside.

If Lu Jing and the others had disarmed the bomb on him first, he wouldn't have been frightened.

His face was cold, filled with anger, and he coldly uttered a single word.

"Fine."

How could Xiao Niannian not notice Comrade Zhou's displeasure? She looked at Lu Jing and Instructor Qin and saw that their expressions were calm.

Lu Jing squatted down and began disarming the bomb.

Instructor Qin told everyone else to step back, and he himself retreated several meters.

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing, feeling that this bomb might be more complex than the previous one.

"Reporting."

Fang Qiang's voice came from nearby.

"Political Instructor, we captured ten Criminals in the river. Two are seriously injured and are currently receiving treatment..."

"All of them fell down the cliff, which is nearly twenty meters high. We just sent people down to search, but we haven't seen Brother Lei or Brother Hu..."

Hearing that the comrades-in-arms hadn't found Brother Lei or Brother Hu, Instructor Qin said.

"Continue the search."

"Yes."

Instructor Qin looked at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian not far away. Both Brother Lei and Brother Hu had been shot in the chest, and after falling down such a high cliff, the chance of them being alive was minimal.

If they caught them alive, they could take them back for detailed investigation and surely find clues.

Among the people captured now, some have followed Brother Hu and Brother Lei for over ten years. These people know many things. By capturing and questioning them carefully, they will definitely be able to root out all the hidden individuals and protect the safety of the Scientific Researchers.

In fact, they also knew that besides these Spies, many people in the Committee had been bribed, and others were colluding from the inside and outside. That was why these Experts were captured. Fortunately, everyone was rescued.

However, this bomb was too dangerous.

He had also been greatly startled in that instant.

Recalling Brother Lei's smile just now, Instructor Qin felt that this matter was very suspicious.

Could it be that the bomb on Comrade Zhou was even more unusual?

"Old Lu, let me disarm this bomb. You just finished one, take a break."

Instructor Qin looked at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian and spoke.

"You go handle those matters; I'll disarm this."

How could Lu Jing not know what Instructor Qin meant? His bomb disposal skills were much better than Old Qin's. At a time like this, it was naturally his turn to step forward.

Instructor Qin heard him say this, knowing Lu Jing wouldn't let him disarm it, and said.

"Old Lu, you must be careful."

Having partnered with Lu Jing for several years, he knew Lu Jing's temper. He knew Lu Jing's capabilities, but this Brother Lei had previously killed several of their comrades-in-arms.

The previous bomb exploded even after it was clearly disarmed.

If this one was even more complicated... Although he trusted Lu Jing internally, he couldn't help but worry.

"Mhm."

Lu Jing's gaze turned to Xiao Niannian.

"I'll be your assistant."

Hearing her say this, Lu Jing smiled and nodded.

"Alright."

Comrade Zhou looked at Lu Jing, feeling incredibly nervous.

Lu Jing quickly removed the outer casing. Looking at the intricate wiring inside, Lu Jing showed no hesitation.

Xiao Niannian looked at the bomb, her expression growing more serious.

This bomb was even more complicated than the previous one. The previous one had two Detonating Devices, but this one had four. Two of them were real, and two were fake... "I'll do it."

"Okay."

Hearing Lu Jing agree, Xiao Niannian immediately walked over.

When Comrade Zhou saw Xiao Niannian walk over, he felt completely uneasy.

"I don't want her to disarm it! How old is she? How could she know how to disarm this? If she messes up, all of us will die..."

This young girl looks like a high school student. Is she even eighteen?

Aren't they being reckless?

"You are truly reckless."

Hearing Comrade Zhou's words, Lu Jing immediately explained.

"Comrade Zhou, Comrade Xiao is very capable. Do not move. If you move, the three of us will immediately lose our lives."

Hearing this, Comrade Zhou's body immediately stiffened. No matter how much pain he was in, he dared not move again.

But his eyes were still full of distrust. He didn't trust Xiao Niannian.

"Ask comrade Qin to disarm the bomb. I don't trust Comrade Xiao's ability."

Even if this Comrade Xiao is excellent, she must have just joined the military. How can she compare to these Veterans who have served for over ten years? Moreover, the bomb on him is USA's most powerful bomb.
