Gu Ji ignored the bomber's taunts.
He carefully examined the four screens inside the tennis court and eventually chose the east side for two reasons: it was the largest of the four TV screens; located above the main stand.
These two points alone were enough to attract the bomber's "special attention."
Just as Gu Ji was about to move to check, a wave-like noise suddenly erged from around the venue, with nurous small dots scattering from the aisles, as the organizers began allowing fans to enter the venue.
Viewers from New York in so live-streaming rooms finally confird his location.
Arriving at the east stand.
So fans were excitedly looking for their seats, completely oblivious to the terrorist bomb crisis that occurred in the New York subway this morning, completely engrossed in anticipation of the match.
Gu Ji lowered the brim of his cap, weaving through the crowds, and at the highest point, he glanced at the nearby security and staff, quietly making his way behind the electronic broadcast screen.
The main display screen was an astonishing 12.8 ters long and 7.2 ters high, made up of multiple LED displays, with cent and steel fraworks securing it.
He first checked the four corners of the support fra.
Upon closer inspection, there indeed was a mysterious object wrapped in black tape affixed onto it, especially at the center of the display's back panel, where there was a bulge approximately four fingers thick.
Gu Ji hurriedly moved closer.
Dressed in a custodial worker's uniform, even stepping on the steel fra, the security did not step in to stop him.
He tore away the surface layer of black tape, imdiately revealing a yellow parcel-like solid underneath, which could be pinched by gently touching it.
It's C4!!
Based on sensitivity, explosives can be categorized into primary explosives, secondary explosives, and tertiary explosives. High-sensitivity explosives may detonate with minor jolts, making them impractical; terrorists, needing long-distance transport and installation, opt for low-sensitivity tertiary explosives like C4!
C4 is a plastic explosive composed of explosive material, plastic binder, plasticizer, and a marker compound; the main explosive is RDX, belonging to high explosives.
Though powerful, C4 is exceptionally safe to use—firing directly at it won't cause an explosion; only a detonator can ignite it.
Most critically, its soft texture allows molding into various shapes, easily bypassing X-ray security checks, and even police dogs without specific scent training find it hard to detect, often exploited by terrorists to carry out attacks.
"Hey, is there sothing wrong over there?"
Perhaps staying too long raised suspicion, prompting security to ask casually.
Gu Ji did not respond but continued tearing at the black adhesive tape to see if he could move the main bomb off the television rack without alerting the audience.
For a bomb disposal expert.
Whenever an explosive is discovered, the priority is never to cut red or blue wires like in movies, but rather to detonate it!
After setting up full-spectrum signal jamrs, bomb disposal personnel typically utilize portable X-ray devices to scan, assessing the bomb's power. For low-impact explosives, water cannons can directly dismantle them on site.
Bombs unsuitable for on-site handling, if feasible to move, are then transferred into specialized bomb containers or predetermined safe blast pits.
Gu Ji lacked any auxiliary equipnt and had very little ti.
His only reliance now was the tactical knowledge in his mind.
After carefully peeling off all outer-layer adhesive tape.
Gu Ji subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air.
C4's theoretical explosive yield is 1.34, with a detonation velocity reaching 8040 m/s, over twenty tis the speed of sound. Just over 400 grams, less than a pound, can obliterate a heavy truck.
However, the weight of the C4 before him likely exceeded five kilograms, and such an explosive force could demolish a two-story building!
Not to ntion its attachnt to the LED TV, producing high-speed fragnts during an explosion potentially more powerful than ordinary handgun bullets—should they hit the stands, hundreds could be killed or injured!!
This bomber is freaking crazy!
"Hey! What on earth are you doing..."
"Evacuate the audience imdiately; there's a bomb threat in the venue—go get the hydraulic cutter! Notify the EOD bomb disposal team from the New York Police Departnt, quickly!!"
Faced with the security's second call, Gu Ji had no choice but to opt for plan B.
It was utterly unrealistic to quietly remove the bomb, as the main bomb was chained with wire to the steel fra, forcibly removing it could easily trigger an explosion.
Who would've thought.
The potbellied security, however, stood frozen on the spot, seemingly uncomprehending.
"There's a bomb! A bomb! Stop the match and evacuate the crowd!! There's no ti left! Quick!"
Only after Gu Ji gestured and shouted did he notice the yellow mass on the screen, the security hastily grabbed the walkie-talkie to report to higher-ups in terror.
[Damn! The strear found the bomb so fast?]
[Impressive, strear! How did he pinpoint the bomb location within re minutes?]
[My God! They really placed a bomb on the field, inhumane!]
[Brothers, isn't the main point the 'hydraulic cutter'? Is the strear really planning to defuse the bomb?]
[Please turn on the screen, ahhh!]
[Though a bit rude, I'm dying to see what the bomb looks like!]
[Art requires brutality: didn't expect you to find the bomb so quickly, hoping your luck stays!]
Just about two seconds after the bomber sent the barrage, the bomb's motherboard suddenly let out a "beep."
In the next mont, a line of red countdown numbers appeared on the motherboard's LED display:
