Happy reading! 𐙚 -Nuttellaaa

After visiting Thackeray, Fei Xiu took his robot for a walk. The prosperity of the capital is certainly not comparable to that of a remote town like Xinlan. 

It has a large population, developed business, tall buildings, and all kinds of luxury cars shuttling back and forth. Everyone is dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and has an innate arrogance.

Many people carry a mechanical pet with them. 

These mechanical pets can not only be used for entertainment, but also have certain auxiliary functions, such as broadcasting, recording, shooting, weather forecasting, itinerary reminders, communication, guiding the blind, calling for help, etc.

However, most of these mechanical pets are small and cute. Robots as big as the Chuhao are usually household robots, and few people would take them out for a stroll. 

So when everyone saw Fei Xiu and Yuan Chu, a human-machine combination with an incompatible style, they couldn't help but cast weird looks at them.

"Do you want to go for a walk in front?" Fei Xiu pointed at the skyscraper not far away.

Yuan Chu looked up and scanned the building from top to bottom with his blue electronic eyes, constructing a 3D stereoscopic image in minutes, and then foresaw some not-so-good pictures.

It was obvious that Heaven was preparing to take action against her son of destiny again.

"Emmm, I want to go to the robot pet store to get a beauty treatment first." Yuan Chu expressed his opinion.

"Beauty?" Fei Xiu wondered, "Are you dissatisfied with your appearance?"

The current body of No. 1 is transformed with mecha materials. It is high-end and classy. She is simply a domineering queen among robots.

"I think the top of my head is a little green, maybe it would be better if it were red." Most of the body of No. 1 is gold, with occasional silver and gray-green. The lines are smooth and the overall feeling is quite cool. 

If she hadn't reminded him, Fei Xiu wouldn't have noticed anything strange about the green spot on his head, but after she pointed it out, he really did...

"Then let's change it to red." He took Yuan Chu and walked towards the robot pet shop across the street.

The Robot Pet Shop is a place that specializes in repairing, modifying, assembling and beautifying household robots and mechanical pets. 

Fei Xiu and Yuan Chu came in to register their names, got a number, and then waited in line in the hall.

Yuan Chu stood at the door, staring at the skyscraper at the intersection, counting seconds silently in his heart. 

When he counted to 0, he heard a loud bang and an explosion occurred on the 24th floor of the building. 

A large amount of debris flew out, accompanied by billowing smoke, and fell straight down, causing traffic congestion and screams.

"What happened?" Fei Xiu looked up with a serious expression, then took Yuan Chu out of the robot pet shop to maintain order at the scene.

At this time, a large group of people swarmed out of the building, trampling and pushing, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Security personnel are evacuating the crowd and the public security team is on the way. 

All the people above the 24th floor were trapped, and it was impossible to calculate the casualties in a short period of time.

However, Yuanchu knew that this was a premeditated terrorist attack. No matter how prosperous the capital looks, it cannot change the reality that Carlo is in a period of war.

Enemy spies lurking in the country will plan one or two terrorist attacks from time to time.

This skyscraper is one of the landmark buildings in the capital. It is located in a busy area with a dense population. 

A single explosion could cause a large number of casualties. 

Although Yuan Chu had foreseen the outcome, she no longer had time to change anything and could only try her best to ensure Fei Xiu's safety.

Fei Xiu was outside the building, helping security personnel evacuate the crowd and maintain traffic until the police arrived at the scene. 

From the sound of the explosion, they initially determined that this was a man-made accident and immediately entered a level one combat readiness state, organizing personnel to control the disaster, rescue the trapped people, and check for dangers.

Fei Xiu took Yuan Chu away from the warning area to avoid affecting the rescue work.

Yuan Chu looked up and saw the structure of the building in full view. From the 22nd to the 59th floor, there were one or two bombs hidden on each floor, remotely controlled by terrorists. 

As more and more rescue workers joined in, the bombs could explode at any time. It was conservatively estimated that there was only 15 minutes left to defuse the bombs.

Judging from the number and power of the bombs, the location where she and Fei Xiu are now is probably not safe.

The blue electronic eyes flickered slightly, and the tragedy that was about to happen in the future appeared in my mind. Screams, wails, and crying filled my ears. 

In order to save people, Fei Xiu went deep into the dangerous area and hovered on the line of death. Any accident could make him a victim of God.

So maybe she should just keep quiet and try to lure him away.

However, there was always a voice in her heart stopping her. If she did so, not only would she feel uneasy, but it would also have an adverse effect on the growth of the Son of Fortune. 

The reason why the sons of destiny can transcend the laws of nature is because they are open-minded, fearless, dare to do what others do not do, and have accumulated merits. 

She couldn't protect him from all dangers like a flower in a greenhouse.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chu took Fei Xiu's hand and transferred an electronic map to his personal terminal.

When Fei Xiu heard the prompt, he clicked it and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"How did you get this?" Fei Xiu suddenly turned around and looked at Yuan Chu.

"I have a scanning function."

What kind of scanning function can construct a 3D electronic map in a short time and mark the bombs at the same time? !

I know she is hiding something, but it is not convenient to ask her now.

Fei Xiu looked towards the building. The rescue robot had already entered the 23rd floor. It would first check for dangers and then establish a rescue channel. 

If the original "scan" was accurate, it would be a difficult task for the security team to dismantle the bomb, let alone save lives. 

By the time the more well-equipped explosion-proof team arrives, the entire building will probably have been blown up.

Fei Xiu no longer hesitated, and rushed to the building with Yuan Chu, found the commander, showed his officer ID, and handed him the electronic map.

The commander's face changed slightly: "Where did this electronic map come from?"

Fei Xiu touched his robot: "My robot has super scanning capabilities."

The commander stared at him hesitantly, then saluted and said in a deep voice: 

"Colonel Fei Xiu, in view of the seriousness of the matter, I request you to participate in the rescue work."

Fei Xiu knew that he was just looking for a reason to keep him and investigate later. 

The commander's level was not enough to restrain him, so he could only use this method.

"I can participate in the rescue work, but the remaining bombs are likely to explode within 15 minutes. Can the army and the explosion-proof team arrive within 5 minutes?" Fei Xiu asked seriously.

The commander gritted his teeth and said, "The fastest it will take is eight minutes."

This is the city center, traffic is congested, and it is not realistic to deploy large aircraft.

Fei Xiu had a serious look on his face. He looked at the electronic diagram carefully and made a prompt decision: 

"Don't wait, let's act now. Do any of your men have experience in bomb disposal? Defuse the bombs in different areas!"

"Yes!" The commander didn't say anything more. He immediately contacted his men and redeployed the task.

"Number One..." Fei Xiu turned around.

"I'll go with you." Yuan Chu said without question.

Fei Xiu looked at her deeply and said softly, "Let's go together."

After getting on the aircraft, Fei Xiu took Yuan Chu and several rescue workers to the floor where the bomb was installed.

Ten minutes later, the army and the explosion-proof team arrived. 

After hearing the report from the on-site commander, Officer Cruz, who was in charge of the operation, became furious and reprimanded the commander for allowing "suspicious persons" to participate in the operation. 

He also expressed doubts about the electronic map that Fei Xiu produced, believing that the other party might be a terrorist who attempted to infiltrate the accident site and create greater chaos!

The commander hesitated and said, "Sir, the other party is a colonel and his identity information is confirmed to be correct."

"Isn't the identity forged?" Cruz, "If the disaster expands further, you will take full responsibility!"

The commander's face turned pale, and he thought to himself: Instead of wasting time with me here, you might as well send someone to check the situation immediately.

At this moment, the commander's communicator received a report from his subordinates: "Sir, bomb No. 5 and bomb No. 6 have been dismantled."

Cruz: "..."

Commander: "..." Hehe.

Fei Xiu dismantled a bomb and found that it was a new type of special bomb. 

It was very small and wrapped in a layer of special material on the outside, which could avoid most scanning detections.

He glanced at the robot beside him meaningfully, wondering how she had discovered these bombs.

"It's been removed." Yuan Chu placed another bomb into an explosion-proof box and waited for further instructions.

"Go on, time is running out." Fei Xiu was in charge of the top four floors, and he worked together with Yuan Chu, and the progress was very fast.

In order to avoid scanning detection, the structure of this bomb has been optimized. 

Instead, it is not as complicated as the standard bomb and is not difficult to dismantle.

"Bombs No. 9 and 10 have been dismantled." "

Bombs No. 1 and 2 have been dismantled."

"Bombs No. 71 and 72 have been dismantled."

"Bombs No. 69 and 70 have been dismantled."

As the reports came in, Cruz's face became more and more ugly.

"How many bombs are there?"

Commander: "According to the electronic map, except for the 23rd floor which has exploded, there are a total of 72 bombs from the 22nd to the 59th floor."

Cruz was shocked: "How did so many bombs get into the building!"

72 bombs, even if they were of small power, were enough to destroy buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters, and the casualties would be difficult to calculate.

He looked at the time and saw that there were only 3 minutes left. 

Even with the support of his troops, it would probably be difficult to defuse all the bombs within 3 minutes.

He no longer had the energy to doubt Fei Xiu. 

He just hoped that they would act faster, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!

"No. 1, how much time is left?"

"2 minutes and 45 seconds."

"How many are left?"

"43."

Fei Xiu exhaled and carefully dismantled the bombs, beads of sweat already appearing on his forehead.

With a focused look on his face, he instructed, "In 30 seconds, evacuate immediately."

"Okay."

According to the current speed, with the support, it is estimated that there will be eight or nine missiles left in the end. 

They must speed up and minimize the damage as much as possible.

Fei Xiu's pupils shrank slightly, his mind was highly concentrated, all the sounds around him seemed to disappear, his fingers were like the most sophisticated instruments, steady and fast, and he completed the demolition work in less than 3 seconds.

Without any pause, he slid down the elevator cable to the next floor. 

With lightning speed, he accurately found the location of the bomb and continued to defuse it at a speed three times faster than before.

2 minutes and 12 seconds.

It’s not fast enough, he can go faster!

Fei Xiu once again entered that mysterious state, as if he could control any subtle changes around him.

1 minute 25 seconds.

Fei Xiu dismantled the bomb on the sixth floor.

"There are only 11 left." Yuan Chu reminded.

Fei Xiu's eyes brightened: It's still in time!

At this moment, Yuan Chu suddenly turned his head, and his blue eyes looked downstairs steadily.

Someone tried to detonate the remaining bombs!
