"Everyone! You need to go!" someone in the underground cellar with Yuri and Haji shouted. "Orders from above!"
"We're almost there," Yuri whispered, watching Haji and another man cut some wires according to the new orders from Allen. "Just… just… one more."
Haji and the other man with him kept their focus on the wire. Even the others with them — who should've been running to safety — didn't move an inch. All of them kept their eyes on the main bomb.
"I'm cutting it," Haji breathed out, and everyone else held their breath with wide eyes.
Their gulps echoed as beads of sweat trickled down their bodies. They kept their attention on the wires and the cutter Haji was holding.
If this was wrong…
Just as everyone tried to shut the thought away, Yuri comforted them with a brutal truth.
"If this goes wrong, we won't even know we're dead," she muttered. "It'll be a swift release for all of us here and in this entire place."
