Chapter 361 Environmental
?Shi Tian chuckled softly when he could feel the pressure that Theobold was emitting.
It was clear that Theobold was trying to intimidate him, most likely to push him down a bit from his high horse.
His implication was clear that even if he had the support of Vanessa Ariston, it didn't mean he could act haughtily in front of him.
However, it was just a shame for Theobold, who believed Shi Tian must have definitely failed in figuring out the problem. After all, his best soldiers had already done some troubleshooting, only to end up in failure.
So how was it possible for Shi Tian to figure out the problem in 10 minutes?
'Theobold, I feel bad for you.' Shi Tian sneered inwardly. Obviously, he could tell from Theobold's current behavior alone to understand what his mind was thinking about.
Still keeping a calm and collected expression.
Shi Tian stood up and smiled, "I have figured out the problem and already know the solution to it, Commander Theobold."
"Hmph, I knew you were just fooling me—" Theobold was about to finish his sentence until he had to double-check himself.
"Wait... you're saying that you have figured out the problem and found a solution already?" He asked in disbelief, his mouth twitching slightly. It was clear that he was not expecting such a response and was ready to scold the crap out of him.
Meanwhile, Vanessa suddenly clapped her hands and cheered from behind.
"Haha, I just knew Nathan was never the impulsive type." She exclaimed, before turning her head to Theobold, seemingly confused. "And Commander Theobold, why did you suddenly say my Nathan was fooling you earlier?"
Vanessa made sure to emphasize the word "my", meaning that Shi Tian was under her protection, so Theobold better be careful of his next words.
It wasn't that Theobold couldn't trust Shi Tian's explanation, but he found it unable to accept that kind of fact.
Being a commander for so long, yet he failed at doing the very basic prevention such as investigating the environment was like a stain to his honor and pride.
Truth be told, he can't be blamed for the negligence since he didn't encounter any Moles when arriving here compared to Shi Tian and Mary.
They were merely lucky enough to have the chance to encounter a few Moles that seemed to have deterred from their original pathing. Otherwise, they would have never thought about the underground part either, much less the environment being affected altogether.
"Wait, so we know it's the magnetic field disturbing the Railgun Blaster, then how do we solve it? Especially in this chaotic moment?" Vanessa asked him anxiously.
After all, Shi Tian had proposed to solve the problem, and not figure out what the problem was.
The meanings between these two were vastly different, and knowing Theobold, they were positive he would still reprimand and punish Shi Tian harshly.
Being stared at intensely by three people simultaneously, almost all the pressure was placed upon him.
If it were others right now, then they might have been overwhelmed and turned timid already. However, that was for others, and not him.
Keeping a confident aura, Shi Tian stretched his arms and calmly said, "Relax yourself. I've said I will solve the problem, so naturally, I will solve it."
He then glanced at Theobold, who seemed eager as hell to punish him and requested. "Commander Theobold, can you please tell your vanguards to retreat from the front for approximately 10 meters?"
Although unsure of what Shi Tian was planning to do, Theobold saw both Mary and Vanessa nodding their heads, their meaning being crystal clear.
They were both vouching for whatever Shi Tian was planning to do.
"You know what Nathan is trying to do?" Mary whispered to Vanessa, seemingly amused that she was vouching heavily for Shi Tian.
Vanessa shook her head in response. "Nope, not a single clue, but I've learned my lesson to never doubt him after the previous bet."
