"We have no retreat now, and every next step is crucial."
The old man in front said in a deep voice.
"Well, can you see the road ahead clearly?"
Qin Yuan asked in a low voice.
"Okay, but there are two ways."
The old man replied in a deep voice.
"Two? Forking roads?"
"Then let's go separately?"
Qin Yuan asked.
The old man did not immediately answer Qin Yuan's words, but leaned down and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Now they are faced with a dilemma.
If you act separately, your own combat effectiveness will be reduced and you will be easily defeated by the opponent one by one.
And if you act together, there is a chance that you will fall into the trap set by the other party, causing all your previous efforts to be wasted.
"They never thought we could discover this place, did they?!"
"Could there be a trap set here?!"
Qin Yuan frowned.
"I don't believe they are so smart!"
"You underestimate 'Xiao Yan' too much. As the saying goes, a arrogant soldier will be defeated."
“No matter what you do, you must have a serious and careful attitude.”
The old man taught.
"It's not that I'm verbose, but that you haven't settled down enough, and your ability to cope with emergencies is not perfect."
"Then what should we do?"
Qin Yuan was a little confused after hearing this, thinking that now was not the time to talk about truth.
"I think we still have to act together, because if we make a mistake, we can still turn back, but if we act separately, we may encounter an accident, and then there will be no way to recover."

The old man analyzed carefully.
"I'm still a conservative. Okay, I'll listen to you."
Qin Yuan smiled.
After saying that, the old man chose the road on the right and walked in.
Qin Yuan also followed closely behind.
To be honest, the environment and paths here are much steeper than the previous roads outside.
To be more specific, this is simply not the way for people to take it!
The rocks are jagged and chaotic. Even if you turn on the flashlight, you will only see piles of rocks and you can hardly see the road in front of you!
"Why is this steep road in a place like this?"
Qin Yuan said doubtfully.
"Mr. Yang, are you okay? How about I carry you?"
Qin Yuan asked with concern.
"It's okay, you don't need to worry."
The old man turned over and walked over a big stone and said.
From the dim light, Qin Yuan saw that the other party was not forcing himself, and his movements were capable and vigorous, not at all like the posture of a sixty-year-old man.
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows.
The old man is indeed as he said, his skills are extraordinary!
This actually made Qin Yuan no longer have any worries and concerns. Now, it's hard to say who is holding him back!
The two walked for a while, and the rocks disappeared again.
The road behind suddenly became smoother.
"Strange, what does this mean?"
Qin Yuan muttered in a low voice.
"I don't know, I've never been here before."
The old man on the side said.
"A person with such seniority as the old gentleman has never seen a place like this. It must be a very secret dungeon."
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Let's not talk about where this place is for now. Let's first determine whether the Green Snake is here."
"I observed the direction of the blood stain just now. Although it is not as obvious as outside, it can be seen that it continues to the inside and breaks off when it passes through the pile of rocks. Now, we have no clues."
The old man analyzed.
"Are you going the wrong way?"
Qin Yuan said worriedly.
"I don't rule out this possibility, but do you think we still have a way out?"
The old man asked rhetorically.
Qin Yuan thought about it seriously and found that it was indeed the case. The road ahead had not been explored yet, and it was impossible to return home now. Moreover, he had just seen faint blood stains, indicating that at least someone had existed here.
"We will definitely find something if we keep going forward."
The old man said in a deep voice.
Qin Yuan nodded, and the two of them continued walking side by side into the depths of the cave.
The road behind is relatively flat, but the passage has become much smaller than before, only big enough for two people to walk side by side.
I don’t know how long they walked, and they didn’t know how long it was inside. They came to a small stone room in front of them.
It's about ten square meters inside, with two dim candle lights on the wall, just like an underground secret room in ancient times.
Qin Yuan walked in and shouted a few words to the wall in a low voice, but there was no response.
It seemed to be the end here. It was surrounded by stone walls and there were no other passages. Qin Yuan felt a little confused.
"We have reached the end of the road and still haven't seen the green snake. Are we really on the wrong path?"
Qin Yuan frowned.
"Are there any secret passages around here?"
The old man came to the wall again and observed carefully.
"It's unlikely that they will repeat their mistakes."
Qin Yuan analyzed.
Sure enough, the old man searched the surrounding walls seriously for a while, but came back without success.
"It seems there is really no road here. The wall is not here."
The old man sighed.
"Let's go back the way we came. There is a 50% chance that we made the wrong choice."
With that said, the old man turned around and walked back.
But at this moment, a strange mark on the ground caught Qin Yuan's attention.
"Wait a moment!"
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Look at all the ashes here on the ground!"
Qin Yuan pointed to the gray powder on the ground and said.
"What's wrong? Isn't this just the ashes of some ordinary burning objects?"
The old man said doubtfully.
"No, take a closer look. Do these ash patterns look like they say: I'm here?!"
Qin Yuan squinted his eyes and said with a hint of joy in his tone.
The old man looked at it carefully and said:
"No, why didn't you see it?"
The old man said doubtfully.
Qin Yuan smiled.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Come to my direction and look."
Qin Yuan and the old man were on opposite sides of these gray areas, exactly in opposite directions.
The old man suddenly understood.
When I walked to Qin Yuan's position and took a closer look, sure enough, the picture just now turned upside down was the distress signal as Qin Yuan said!
"clever!"
The old man happily patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder.
“I almost missed important information!”
"Look, the ash seems to be spreading all the way over there!"
The two of them followed the trail of ashes until they reached an inconspicuous vase nearby.
This is a very old vase, and the outer wall of the vase is also mottled, revealing a jet black outer wall.
I can't tell what kind of material it is made of, but its shape is very huge, reaching the height of Qin Yuan's chest.
"Does this mean there's something wrong with this vase?"
Qin Yuan came to the front and looked at the vase carefully.
The old man also came to the front, looked at the vase, and said in a very calm tone:
"This is a valuable item in the organization. Why is it here?"
"It was supposed to be in the organization's museum. I've seen this thing there before."
The old man said in a deep voice.
"That's strange. Did someone put it here intentionally?"
"I don't know, but this must be related to the disappearance of the green snake."
The old man said.
After saying that, he started exploring the area again.
Qin Yuan was not idle either, and followed him to look for clues here.
After searching for a long time, he only heard Qin Yuan's shout of joy.
"found it!"
I saw him groping for a hidden mechanism on the ground nearby.
The stone slab on the ground is movable, and after you remove it, there is a rectangular button underneath!
Qin Yuan pressed the button excitedly, and saw the vase move naturally, and then, a half-human-sized hole appeared in the wall in front of him!
Qin Yuan took a deep breath.
It’s really well hidden!
"There must be clues to the green snake in this!"
The old man also shouted happily.
Just when the two of them were excited, there were waves of faint shouts coming from inside, and it felt like they were coming from afar.
"Is anyone there? Help!"
Qin Yuan and the old man looked at each other. Although the voice was very unclear, it could be heard that it belonged to a man, and it was very similar to the voice of Green Snake.
The two were overjoyed, and then quickly entered the secret passage and walked inside.
The secret passage was not complicated, there was only one way. Soon, the two of them walked dozens of meters and entered another darkroom. In the center of the room, they suddenly saw a man tied to the ground, his mouth covered, and they could only
Make a hesitant sound.
The two of them took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a green snake!
"Green snake!"
Qin Yuan immediately rushed forward, untied the green snake and tore off the tape on its mouth.
"Get out of here right now!"
After the green snake's tape was torn off, the first thing he said was this shout.
"What?"
Qin Yuan showed a puzzled expression.
"They have installed a bomb here and it will explode soon. Let's go!"
Green Snake shouted loudly.
This was the first time Qin Yuan saw him so excited.
The old man also looked surprised.
"They deliberately showed you off, just to make you fall into a trap! Let us be buried here together!"
Green Snake almost cried.
After Qin Yuan untied him, Green Snake immediately stood up, grabbed the two of them and ran out.
Although Qin Yuan and the old man were not very clear about the reason, they believed in Green Snake and had no choice but to follow him and run out.
"Can you tell me what's going on? Let's start after we separate!"
Qin Yuan asked while running.
"There's no time to explain! The most important thing now is to get out of here! Otherwise we will all be blown into powder!"
Green Snake said without looking back.
"The exit here is sealed."
Qin Yuan said loudly from behind.
The green snake in front suddenly trembled as if it had been electrocuted.
Then he said in a very shocked tone.
"Sealed?! Oh my god!"
"When we came in, the door closed automatically."
The old man next to him also echoed.
"Then we are going to die here?!"
The green snake looked sad.
"When I came in, I was caught blindfolded! I didn't know the way out!"
"Don't be impatient. Urgency won't solve the problem."
"Do you know how much time we have left and where the bomb is?"
Qin Yuan asked.
Since you can't find a way out, try to solve the problem inside.
That's what he thought about.
"The bomb is in the room I was in just now! They installed it with their own hands, and I can see it clearly!"
Green Snake said worriedly.
"According to what they said, starting from when I was tied there, there would be an explosion within half an hour! The range is within a radius of 500 meters!"
Qin Yuan pondered for a moment, quickly calculating the distance here and the time they spent just now.
After coming in from the door, they walked for about ten minutes, and the distance was estimated to be more than 500 meters. However, there was no way of knowing whether this was a straight line distance.
And since the other party laid such a trap for them, they must have considered this. Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to hope that they can escape the explosion range by chance.
The only way now is to find the source of the bomb and see if the crisis can be solved.
Qin Yuan told Qin Yuan and the old man what he was thinking.
"Now, we estimate that we have more than ten minutes left, and we still have a chance to reverse the defeat."
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
"You really dare to think that!"
Green Snake shouted dissatisfied.
"They will surely think of this too!"
Green Snake's voice was full of fear and despair.
"Do you think we still have a choice?"
Qin Yuan asked coldly.
As soon as these words came out, several people fell silent.
Yes, only by seeking opportunities in desperate situations can you have a chance of survival. Blaming others here is just a waste of time.
"I also agree with Qin Yuan's idea. Our only chance now is to dismantle the bomb."
Hearing what the old man said, Green Snake seemed to suddenly have an epiphany.
His teachers all recognized Qin Yuan, and he also knew that he was indeed too flustered just now.
"Well, I was too excited just now. If I think about it seriously, I still need to calm down to solve the problem."
Green Snake's voice became calmer.
"Well, take me to the bomb right now."
Green Snake nodded, immediately turned around and walked inside.
The three of them rushed to the room as quickly as possible.
Green Snake took the lead and walked inside, pointing at a black object on the ground and said:
"right here."
I walked up to it and took a closer look. It turned out to be a time bomb with a number clearly written on it:
7:45.
Time also passes by second by second.
This is a very complex time bomb. There are three pieces in total, each piece has a very complicated circuit, and there are at least dozens of wires, and each one must be removed safely without making a single mistake.
Qin Yuan didn't hesitate at all, frowned, took out a precision round instrument from his backpack, and put it in front of him.
"This is?!"
The old man asked with a frown.
"This is why I came here so confidently."
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
"This is the bomb-disposal device Xiaoxiao prepared for us."
Qin Yuan's voice was filled with incomparable confidence.
