Chapter 814
Sean moved aside and said. “Alright, it’s all yours.”
He’d already cleared away the dirt around the landmine. Aria crouched down and glanced at Clifford. “I’m 80% sure. Are you willing to take that risk?”
Clifford gritted his teeth. “Hell yeah. You’re risking your life for me. How could I not do the same?”
Besides, he thought that Aria knew exactly what she was doing.
“Alright, if things go south, don’t blame me,” Aria said.
Aria was about to get started when Clifford suddenly called out, “Hold on.”
What’s up?” Aria asked.
If you think this is going to fail, then run. Don’t stay and die with me,” Clifford said.
Aria snapped, “Shut up.”
She was about to get to work again when she noticed nobody was moving. She looked up and said, “Aren’t you going? Or are you planning to die with us?”
Someone snapped out of it. “I got so into it.
Mr. Lewis, you should have reminded us.”
Sean, who was scrounging on the ground, slowly stood up. “All of you, move back. If this blows up, we’re all going to die.”
The others slowly backed away, but Gerald stayed put. “You need any help?” Gerald said to Aria.
Mr. Lewis will help me. You step back,” Aria said without looking up.
Everyone held their breath, watching as Aria carefully handled the landmine.
She moved quickly, as if she’d done it a thousand times.
With a soft click, she slowly stood up and said quietly, “It’s done.”
The group, which had barely made it 150 feet away, was stunned.
Sean raised an eyebrow and said, “You’re fast. This isn’t your first time dealing with a landmine, is it?”
Aria replied calmly, “No, it’s not.”
Aria had seen this kind of landmine before, so she was sure she could handle it.
Clifford’s legs went weak, and he plopped right down on the ground. “Aria, from now on, you’re my lifesaver. I owe you so
much.”
Sean gave him a kick and said, “Come on, man, watch your behavior. Get up.”
Clifford scrambled up, still looking depressed.

Sean warned, “There might be more landmines out there. Stay sharp. If Aria’s not around, you’re basically eliminated.”
“Thanks for the heads-up. Mr. Lewis,” someone said.
At the same time, the announcer said. “Keep an eye on the landmines. Some landmine disposal squads will be sent in. They’re not part of the patrol squad, so if you see them, just ignore them.”
Sean had barely walked away when Zoey said, “Mr. Lewis is also part of the patrol squad. Why don’t we eliminate him first?”
Aria paused and said, “Wait, we can eliminate patrollers?”
Zoey, caught off guard by Aria, paused for a while and said, “Yeah, as long as you can beat him. If you beat him and announce that he has been eliminated, he has to leave the zone.”
