Chapter 480 Confidence Soars

Seeing her pause, Xiao Yunfeng knew that someone as clever as her must have already guessed his good intentions.

Su Jin's expression was incredibly complex, and a surge of emotion was spreading through her chest.

Not everyone can put their own safety aside just to give her a chance.

"Uncle..."

The words "thank you" were already on the tip of her tongue, but Xiao Yunfeng's next action completely interrupted her.

Xiao Yunfeng knelt down in front of her and helped her put on her shoes.

Su Jin's pupils reflected his face as he focused on tying his shoelaces.

"alright."

It wasn't until Xiao Yunfeng stood up again that her thoughts returned to reality.

Xiao Yunfeng reached out his hand to her.

Su Jin could clearly feel her heart pounding faster in her chest, and she dared not have any further contact with him.

Xiao Yunfeng looked at his empty hand and could only helplessly twitch the corner of his mouth.

Su Jin picked up the surveying tools again and began to examine them.

"This thing is really useless."

There were clearly landmines below, but it didn't make a sound at all.

Xiao Yunfeng remained calm, saying, "Tools are just an aid. If they could be accurate every time and predict everything perfectly, this place wouldn't still be a restricted area."

Su Jin's eyes flickered; she had indeed learned a lesson this time.

Xiao Yunfeng is right. Tools are just aids, but she has become too reliant on and trusting of them since she came in.

In this era without sophisticated instruments, experience and ability were what truly saved her life when danger struck.

"Uncle, let's keep going."

What she needs to do now is to work hard to accumulate experience and become stronger.

Xiao Yunfeng nodded.

Su Jin was still in front, and he followed slowly behind.

This time, Su Jin felt a sense of peace she had never felt before.

Having learned a lesson from the first landmine, Su Jin became a hundred times more cautious than before, making sure that there was absolutely no problem with every step she took.

After advancing for about half an hour, they encountered a second landmine buried underground.

Su Jin was much calmer and began the demolition in an orderly manner.

Xiao Yunfeng stood beside her, silently watching her movements.

Time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly, yet also as if it were fleeting.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Jin took out the second landmine.

This was also the first landmine she defused entirely on her own.

"Uncle, I did it!"

I'm still excited.

Xiao Yunfeng didn't hold back his praise, "Not bad. Much smoother than before."

When facing unknown dangers, people are always nervous and at a loss. Once this is overcome, the rest is up to experience.

Su Jin's little face was glowing, clearly she could now take the matter of defusing the bomb with a completely normal attitude.

"continue!"

Successfully defused two landmines in succession, which greatly boosted her confidence.

Xiao Yunfeng was well aware of her current mindset and fully cooperated with her actions.

"Besides these loose-trigger mines, tripwire mines are the most commonly used on the battlefield. They are more concealed and will detonate immediately once the fuse is touched."

Xiao Yunfeng spoke as he walked.

He said this to remind Su Jin not to focus solely on the ground and ignore other dangers.

Upon hearing his words, Su Jin immediately became alert.

She no longer doubted Xiao Yunfeng's premonition of danger.

"Does my uncle mean there might be different kinds of landmines here?"
