As The Atomic Bomb Locks In Novels & Stories

“This one was triggered from outside the estate.” I felt it immediately. Marco. I could almost smell his involvement. No one else had the skill to pull this off. Why did he want me out of the house? Was he hiding something? Or was this connected to my niece, or the fool who struck me earlier? It did not matter. We had no time. “Find a way to shut the system down and—” “Sir,” one of the guards interrupted, waving me over. “You need to see this.” I looked at the dining table. Built into it was a compact atomic bomb. Its timer matched the countdown on the holographic display.

After a press of a button, the bomblike item made a beeping sound, followed by a dull explosion. The highly-secured smart lock was bombed open in no time.

Leo whispered, “The bombs.” Daniel nodded. “Good.” Leo shook his head slowly. “The safety locks too.” Inside the vault Marcus’s smile returned. “Oh.” Ethan pressed the final key. “Time to reset the board.” The system froze for a second. Then the map changed. All thirty bombs reactivated. But this time… The timer didn’t show thirty minutes. It showed two. Inside the penthouse Daniel whispered, “…that’s new.” Leo’s voice dropped. “He armed them all.” For a moment no one in the penthouse moved.

Elvin said with a husky tone, and he increased the speed of his thrust. Eve had already accepted him. Whatever she was doing was only to discover how much he desired her. But what she feared was the true test. To uncover all these, she had locked him in. What if she lifts the lockdown, and he goes out into the world, would he still remember her, or would he be carried away with the attention of other ladies? She smiled. It was amazing she could even think amidst the pleasure. She felt him spurt in her, and she hugged him with shaky hands.

I told him which made him sneered and looked at me seriously. "What does the meteorologist study?" He asked. I shook my head in disappointment, it was so easy. Tsk, isn't there anything hard there? I rolled my eyes before answering. "Weather or atmosphere." "Which type of bomb was invented by Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam in 1952?" "Fusion," I answered boringly and lazily crossed my arms. “What can you say about the specific issues in science and technology?”

"I'm just here for the Ares Protocol. You can keep everything else." My breath caught in my throat. Ares Protocol. Of course a maniac like him would want to get his hands on a nuclear weapon. I squared my shoulders and met his gaze. "That isn't going to happen." Our eyes locked. Silence fell heavy across the vault, thicker than the smoke. El Cajón's smirk didn't fade. If anything, it deepened. He saw something in my expression; resistance, maybe. Or the fact that I'd rather die than hand over the keys to annihilation.

His face darkened, shadows cutting sharp lines across his jaw. Silence coiled around them, thick with tension. Then, finally— “Fine,” he ground out, his voice edged with reluctant defeat. “We have a deal.” Elowen’s lips curled, amusement flickering in her sharp gaze. With practiced ease, she reached for the small device strapped to his chest, fingers brushing the cold metal. A soft click echoed through the room as she disarmed the bomb. The air shifted. The men standing around them, hardened criminals who had seen their share of blood and betrayal, exchanged wary glances. One of them muttered under his breath, just loud enough for her to hear.

But the malevolent aura in the air only grew stronger! There was even a hint of... The smell of gunpowder! "It's a nuclear bomb!" Frederick exclaimed in shock. "Haha! I knew you'd guess it quickly, Hades! I've actually implanted a micro hydrogen bomb inside myself. Once I die, the bomb will trigger its self-destruct mechanism! At least half of Aston will become a living hell!" Six's eerie laughter filled the air, resonating throughout the room. The crowd's faces turned ashen. "A nuclear bomb? We're finished!"

I'll find it now. I closed my eyes, and pictured the moon goddess shrine in my mind. And when I opened my eyes, I smiled that I could see every the shrine-like my eyes were an x-ray machine. I look at the man who is about the bomb, but he has no detonator device hidden in his body. I quickly searched the I'm around, and I saw five of them. It's a time bomb, and there are only ten seconds left.
