Chapter 834 No Time for Love Now
On the edge of the cliff, between life and death.
The wreckage of the out-of-control helicopter, like a steel skeleton chewed by a giant beast, finally stopped rolling on a relatively flat pile of rocks.
Baijiu was thrown out of the cabin by the huge inertia! His body scraped several meters on the rough concrete floor! Just as he struggled to get up—
"call out--!"
A sharp sound pierced through the air, brushing past his ear! The touch of the cold metal made his hair stand on end! He looked closely and saw a thick iron chain with a sharp hook at the end, deeply embedded in the rock! If he had deviated even a millimeter, the hook would have been enough to tear his cheek apart!
Baijiu supported himself with his hands and struggled to get up. Every step he took caused severe pain in his abdomen. He staggered towards the edge of the cliff.
Below, the shattered helicopter was like a dying beast, hanging precariously above the bottomless abyss with only the iron chain and grappling claw that almost took its life!
The cold mountain wind whistled, sweeping up gravel and making it almost impossible to stand still. Baijiu looked down, only to see rolling clouds and an all-consuming darkness below.
"This is... the real abyss..." He whispered to himself, his voice blown away by the wind.
Bomb disposal point, countdown ticking.
Lao Hei's fingers moved steadily and precisely through the intricate network of cables, and time beat relentlessly: [04:26].
"You've done everything you can." Without even looking up, his voice was unusually gentle, yet filled with an unquestionable determination, "Go and stay with your husband."
Joanna looked at his focused profile, and there seemed to be a faint and complex luster flashing in his deep eyes.
"Lao Hei..." Her voice choked.
"Go." Lao Hei raised his head and forced a soothing smile at the corner of his mouth.
That smile instantly brought Joanna back to the beach in Hawaii fifteen years ago. The sun, the waves, his gentle eyes, and the proposal that made her heart beat faster...
Two lines of hot tears silently slid down. She reached out her hand, her fingertips trembling, and gently stroked Lao Hei's cheek for the last time.
Then, she silently picked up the toolbox at her feet, turned around, and disappeared at the end of the dim passage step by step without looking back.
Lao Hei watched her back disappear into the darkness. The warmth on his face faded like the tide, and he instantly regained his rock-hard coldness. He took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
Love? It's a luxurious poison at this moment!
"McAllen!" He spoke into the headset in a firm voice, as if the separation had never happened. "Report position!"
In the cabin, bomb disposal is in progress.
Macallan and Vermouth, like two precision machines, bent over the icy nuclear device. Sweat soaked Macallan's temples as he endured unprecedented pressure—every touch of his fingertips could determine the fate of billions of lives!
"Old Black, we're in the cabin!" McAllen's voice trembled slightly as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm.
Vermouth turned on the high-intensity flashlight, and the dazzling beam illuminated the scalp-numbing, densely crisscrossing wires inside the device, which were like a nerve plexus.
"Do you see the red wire connected to the motherboard?" Lao Hei's voice came through the headset, clear and calm.
"I see!" McAllen responded immediately.
"Find the green wire next to it," Lao Hei gave clear instructions, "cut them both at the same time!"
"understand!"
In the corner, Ryan, who was tied up in a ridiculous U-shape, slowly woke up. He raised his head with difficulty, looked at the two people's focused backs, and then glanced at the rapidly passing scarlet numbers on the nuclear bomb screen. The corners of his mouth uncontrollably curled into a cold arc:
"I told you... you can't stop it..." His voice was like a venomous snake, filled with cruel certainty. "The time... has come. You... can't do anything."
On the edge of the cliff, the final showdown.
Baijiu wiped away the blood that obscured his vision, his gaze fixed like a hawk on the controller lying quietly not far away! Mojito also struggled to his feet, half of his face as if licked by the fires of hell, the flesh charred and curled, the white cheekbone exposed, and his left eye was only a bloody hole. His only remaining right eye, burning with deep hatred and madness, was fixed on Baijiu!
Baijiu felt a piercing pain in his left leg; every movement felt like stepping on a knife's edge. But he ignored it all, his body like an arrow shot from a bow, charging towards Mojito with unstoppable momentum!
Mojito let out a beast-like growl from his throat and advanced instead of retreating!
The final fight to the death on the edge of the cliff breaks out!
Baijiu's right fist hidden behind his back suddenly gathered strength, his muscles bulged, and with a sharp scream that tore through the air, he struck Mojito's ferocious face!
Just as the fist was about to touch flesh and blood, Baijiu suddenly retracted his strength and made a feint!
After experiencing the baptism of life and death with Lark, his fighting skills have long been perfect, and his control over his body is superb!
His center of gravity dropped instantly! Like a diving bull, he slammed his shoulder into Mojito's chest! His real target was the controller at Mojito's feet!
"Don't even think about it!" Mojito saw through it instantly! He opened his arms and clamped Baijiu's waist and abdomen tightly like an iron clamp, using all his strength to stop him from rushing forward!
Baijiu stretched his fingers forward as far as they could, only a millimeter away from the cold controller casing!
His fingertip finally touched the button! But the moment he tried to press it——
"boom!!!"
Mojito's right fist was like a heavy hammer, with a sound of breaking wind, smashing fiercely into Baijiu's spine! The severe pain ran through his body like an electric current!
"Ugh!" Baijiu groaned, his vision darkening, but an even more ferocious force erupted from the depths of his heart! He shook his head violently to dispel the dizziness, and his clenched right fist, like a cannonball, struck back fiercely at Mojito's kidney!
"Ah——!" Mojito arched his body in pain!
Baijiu took the opportunity to grit his teeth, burst out with his last strength, and rushed forward like a madman!
Mojito knew that Baijiu was no match for him in a power contest, and a sly, ruthless look flashed in his eyes! He used the force of Baijiu's impact to suddenly raise his foot, using his last bit of strength to fiercely kick the controller on the ground!
“No——!” Baijiu’s pupils suddenly shrank!
The black square that determines fate rolled and slid, and stopped precisely at the edge of the cliff!
Below is a bottomless abyss that swallows everything!
It lay there all alone, and any gust of wind could send it to hell!
