Then, she heard someone speaking into a walkie-talkie in a foreign language, roughly translating to, Almost at the location, with the explosives
Raegan gasped, shocked.
As the footsteps receded, Raegan watched the man head toward level B2.
A sinking feeling overwhelmed her. She urgently called Cary, who picked up immediately. Are you out yet?

No, Cary, I just saw someone heading to level B2 with explosives!
Carys voice hardened, Are you certain about what you saw?
Im sure of it. It looks like hes found the exit and is going down to plant the explosives!
Instantly, Cary spoke gravely into his walkie-talkie. Evacuate immediately.
Then, almost at the same moment, a loud explosion sounded both from the phone and outside.
Fortunately, Raegan threw herself onto the carpet just in time, which cushioned her fall and shielded her from the blasts force.
The phone hit the ground, cutting off the call.
Raegan realized the exit below must have been compromised, likely where the special forces had planned to enter and disarm the explosives.
Worried the man she spotted just now might return, she swiftly retrieved her phone and took refuge in a nearby electrical room.
Just then, the cell signal on her phone weakened significantly. There was only one bar left on her phone, and even that flickered intermittently.
Raegan tried several times to reconnect with the command center, but her calls continually failed. She finally caught a stable signal near a window.

Just then, Matteos call came through. His voice carried a palpable anxiety. Miss Foster, dont panic. We are still looking for another exit.
Matteo had been stationed in the special forces command center, believing Raegan had escaped, not expecting that Lorenzos men had destroyed the only exit.
At this moment, Matteo was deeply concerned about both Raegans safety and Mitchels fate.
Despite her dangerous surroundings, Raegan remained calmer than Matteo. She said, Could you please pass the phone to the commander? I need to ask him something.
Miss, what is it?
Raegan asked, This homemade remote-controlled explosive, I remember reading that cutting the wire responsible for the remote control prevents it from detonating, is that correct?
Raegan hadnt known this originally. She had seen it once in a book in her fathers study.
Her father, a military enthusiast, liked reading such books and often discussed these topics with Raegan. So, although she had never seen real explosives, she understood them better than most due to her readings.
Cary answered, In theory, yes. Remote-controlled explosives are designed with a special wire for remote activation. If its severed, they can no longer be detonated remotely.
