"What's in this bag?"
Xiao Heyun walked to the side of the bald old man and asked, pointing to the snakeskin bag on the ground.
The bald old man hurriedly explained: "These are all watermelons, which are worthless. I only have so much money on me, so I'll give it to you."
There were whole and broken bills, but they didn't add up to a hundred dollars.
Zhou Chen "roughly" directed Xiao Heyun: "You, open it, I want to see if there are really watermelons inside."
The bald old man was about to open it himself, but Zhou Chen shouted again: "You are not allowed to move, let him come."
The bald old man stopped. Xiao Heyun put the money away and carefully opened the snakeskin bag.
The three of them had discussed before who was most likely to be carrying a bomb. The bald old man with the snakeskin bag under his feet was the key suspect. After all, such a big snakeskin bag was really suspicious.
After careful inspection, he found that the snakeskin bag was indeed filled with watermelons and no bombs, which made Xiao Heyun relieved.
But soon his heart was raised again. If it wasn't this old man, who could it be?
Xiao Heyun's eyes turned to the man coming from the back. This man wrapped himself tightly and hugged his schoolbag tightly. There must be something fishy about it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Heyun walked quickly in front of this person.
"Friend, please cooperate, open the bag and take out all the money and valuables."
The masked man hugged his schoolbag nervously: "I only have a few dollars in change, no other cash, and there are only some books in my bag."
Xiao Heyun advised: "Friend, you just saw that this robber is very vicious. If you don't open the bag, he will definitely not let you go."
Zhou Chen cooperated very well and shouted to the masked man: "Hurry up and open the bag, or I will kill this woman first and then go over and smash your head."
"?"
Li Shiqing's head was filled with questions. Is the drama too much? If you want to kill him, just kill him. Why do you have to take me with you?
The man in the mask was obviously not very courageous. When Zhou Chen yelled like this, his body trembled in fright and he could only loosen his hands holding his school bag.
Seeing this, Xiao Heyun grabbed the backpack and opened it quickly, but then he was stunned.
There was no bomb in the schoolbag as expected, but a small tabby cat.
"you……"
Zhou Chen saw Xiao Heyun in a daze and asked urgently: "What's in the bag?"
Xiao Heyun helplessly unfolded his schoolbag and showed it to Zhou Chen: "It's a kitten."
The masked man stammered and explained: "Pets are not allowed on the bus, so, that's why I do this."
Zhou Chen was also speechless. The people on this bus are all talented people. Some of them bombed the bus, some of them cycled, some of them brought medicine with them, some of them brought watermelons, and now there are even some with pet cats.
"Next, keep searching for the next one, I don't believe no one has cash, hurry up."
Xiao Heyun returned the bag to the masked man and moved on to the next target. This time the target was a middle-aged aunt with a cold face.
"Auntie, do you have cash with you? If you do, you'd better take it all out."
Unexpectedly, the cold-faced aunt looked at him coldly and said nothing, which made Xiao Heyun very embarrassed.
Turning his eyes, he saw a big pot placed at the feet of the cold-faced aunt, so he asked: "Aunt, you have this pot."
"There's meat inside." The cold-faced aunt said in a cold tone.
Zhou Chen didn't care so much and shouted: "Open it, let her open the pot. Who knows if her money is in the pot? What these old ladies like most is to hide money everywhere, hurry up."
Xiao Heyun understood Zhou Chen's meaning and squatted down, about to pull the cauldron out, but the cold-faced aunt grabbed his hand.
"Aunt, this is none of my business. It's this person who asked me to take a look. Just take a look. It's fine."
As he spoke, he pulled hard, but he didn't notice at all that the aunt suddenly put her other hand into her pocket and took out something.
Zhou Chen had been staring at them. When he saw the middle-aged woman taking out something, his expression suddenly changed.
"careful."
Hearing Zhou Chen's loud reminder, Xiao Heyun raised his head in confusion, and then he saw a short knife stabbing him fiercely.
"Pfft!"
Either intentionally or unpreparedly, the short knife pierced Xiao Heyun's neck in an instant, and blood spurted out.
Xiao Heyun could clearly hear the sound of the blade piercing his neck, and at the same time felt the immense pain. His eyes widened, and he covered his neck, trying to break free.
But the cold-faced aunt didn't give him a chance at all. She pulled out the blade and stabbed it again, leaving another wound on Xiao Heyun's body.
This sudden scene scared everyone in the bus. It was even more terrifying than Zhou Chen's sudden robbery just now.
Not to mention the passengers, even Zhou Chen was confused when he saw this scene, but he reacted very quickly.
"Xiao Heyun."
Amidst Li Shiqing's frightened screams, Zhou Chen had already shaken him off and rushed towards the cold-faced aunt like a cheetah, trying to save Xiao Heyun.
But the cold-faced aunt just looked at him coldly, and then pulled the valve of her pressure cooker.
"boom!"
…………
Zhou Chen woke up from his slumber and immediately looked at where the cold-faced aunt was.
Like him, Li Shiqing also looked at the cold-faced aunt when she woke up.
Only Xiao Heyun, the first thing he did when he woke up was to cover his neck with his hands, his face full of fear and his whole body trembling.
"Xiao Heyun, are you okay?"
Xiao Heyun gasped violently. After a while, he calmed down after making sure that he was not injured.
"I'm all right."
He had just been stabbed twice, and he could not forget the severe pain and fear. It was so terrifying.
"The real culprit is that aunt."
"Zhou Chen."
Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun both looked at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen shook his head at them and signaled them not to mess up. When he just woke up, he had already discovered that the time had advanced by one minute.
But he didn't care about this. What he cared about was that he felt that his body had become weak again, as if he had been seriously ill.
In fact, he also knows that his physical fitness is still relatively good compared to normal people now, but once he had a stronger physical fitness, and now he is like this, the gap in his heart is naturally very big.
"She can manually detonate the bomb, which is the pressure cooker valve."
When the bomb exploded just now, it was not until 1:45. In other words, in addition to the timed explosion, the bomb could also be exploded manually, and he could see clearly that the woman was pulling the pot valve.
"Trouble."
It can be seen from the situation just now that this cold-faced aunt is very alert. If anything goes wrong, she will immediately take action and detonate a bomb. She must not be reckless.
"You two, come here."
Zhou Chen asked Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun to stay behind him, and then turned around to discuss with them.
"From the last cycle, we can know that the aunt is the real culprit of the bombing, and the bomb is in the pressure cooker under her feet."
"Yes, I saw it too. She pulled the wire to the pot valve, so the thing in the pot must be a bomb."
Xiao Heyun whispered: "She can detonate the bomb, which means that the bomb is not only controlled by timer, but can be detonated at any time. This is too dangerous. What should we do?"
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "We must control him and snatch the bomb. I remember clearly that the bomb exploded at 1:45, so we must get it before 1:45."
Throw the bomb."
Li Shiqing asked worriedly: "Where should we throw it away? If we throw it away casually, it will accidentally hurt other people. We can't hurt others."
Xiao Heyun said anxiously: "We didn't mean to harm others. We want to save ourselves now. If we accidentally hurt others, there is nothing we can do."
People are selfish, and not everyone wants to be as kind as Li Shiqing.
Xiao Heyun, who has experienced several explosions, what he wants most now is to survive and get out of the cycle. As for other things, he can't think about that much right now.
"How can this be done? We saved ourselves but harmed others. How is this different from the previous bus explosion?" Li Shiqing objected.
"Li Shiqing, is other people's lives more important, or is your own life more important? If you don't care for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth." Xiao Heyun shouted with a red neck.
