He had only run a short distance of about thirty to fifty meters when the flint had already burned right in front of the iron sphere.
After all, this flint was merely attached to the rope with some gunpowder, thus lacking the slow burning characteristic of modern fuses.
This distance of a dozen meters was covered in just a few breaths.
Seeing there was no time left, Lin Yi, fuming with anger, threw a punch into the air and couldn't help but shout loudly at the Deputy General beside him:
"Bastard, get down immediately! Cover your head and get down!"
If it weren't for this fellow's previous hesitation, if it weren't for his disregard, given the time the flint took to burn, even if he couldn't make it close to Lin Yi, running a hundred or two hundred meters away would still have been plausible.
Even though in ancient society human lives were as cheap as grass, and people dying was too common.
But for Lin Yi from the future, human life was still very valuable and very important.
