Song Lili’s gaze fell on the controller in her hand. It had been two or three minutes since she had called Lu Ziqing. If they moved fast, the second floor would be surrounded soon.
"Delaying time is not a good tactic, unless you don’t cherish your life."
With a single sentence, Duan Shen pierced through Song Lili’s thoughts.
"Give it to me, you are still young, and you don’t know how to handle this thing."
As Duan Shen spoke, he grabbed Song Lili’s hand and pulled her whole body towards him, then swiftly snatched the controller from her hand.
He looked at Song Lili’s face, his mouth curving meaningfully,
"Such a beautiful girl doing such dangerous things is not smart."
She didn’t speak, only watching as Duan Shen’s face turned pale in an instant!
Duan Shen’s eyes widened as he saw the controller in his hand had stopped the countdown and the screen dimmed.
Before he could glare at Song Lili, she flicked her delicate hand, and two electronic items were thrown into the toilet.
"This thing may seem complicated, but if you understand the principles, it’s not hard to dismantle."
Song Lili remarked casually.
At this point, there was very little she could do.
If Duan Shen regained the controller, resetting the timer would be as easy as flipping his hand.
Even if the entire second floor was surrounded, he had the lives of more than a thousand people as leverage. He was a man of extreme temperament, and if he decided to have those thousand people die with him, no one could stop him.
This was a military academy, and today was the entrance examination day. Everyone sitting in the examination hall had the goal of becoming a soldier and had acted upon it.
These people, they chased their dreams and never slacked when it was time to work hard, unlike her, who was foolish enough to realize this truth only through a tragic death.
Rather than leaving her fate in the hands of this brutal man, it was better to make her own choice.
Even if it might seem presumptuous, she had to take this gamble.
That person had once said her hands were chubby and very lucky...
She had done everything she could, now all that was left was to leave it to fate.
Fortunately, she won the bet.
"People inside, listen! You are surrounded! Come out and surrender peacefully!"
As expected, soldiers had already surrounded the outside of the men’s restroom.
Duan Shen narrowed his eyes, gazing steadily at Song Lili, "You really are not afraid of death."
People who have died once fear death even more.
Duan Shen looked at the woman before him—her red lips and white teeth, her large eyes fringed with delicate brows, and her childish face, all betrayed by her eyes, resolute and deep, uncharacteristic of her age.
What was this young woman’s background...
Easily distinguishing between him and Duan Chen, dismantling the bomb he had developed...
Duan Chen was puzzled, but that wasn’t the focus now.
When Lu Ziqing arrived at the military academy, Duan Shen was holding Song Lili hostage as they came out of the academic building.
The sharp blade of a knife pressed against Song Lili’s neck, with a streak of blood already drawn; with just a bit more force, he could sever the major artery in her neck.
Song Lili didn’t dare even to swallow her own saliva.
The pace of walking, each step seemed to threaten her frail life.
Yet Duan Shen’s control of his strength was impeccable, starting from the second-floor restroom, down the stairs, step by step walking out, holding her life firmly on that blade.
Several snipers in the distance had found the best sniping positions, but the order to fire was yet to be issued.
