Chapter 554 Escape
There were many people who were infected in the hall, but because they were all adults, their resistance was slightly stronger than that of children, and none of them lost consciousness immediately.
However, at this critical moment, everyone no longer cared about the virus. After all, no matter how deadly the virus was, it would take time. If they didn't find a way to escape now, they would not be able to wait for the virus to break out and the airship to crash, and no one present would survive.
At this time, the airship had begun to shake violently due to the bomb explosion, and was descending at an accelerated rate.
Chu Ming held the railing tightly to keep his balance and looked out the window. Not far away, the Tower of Babel stood quietly. At this speed, the airship would hit the Tower of Babel in ten minutes.
"When the airship gets close to the Tower of Babel, we'll jump off." Chu Ming stared at the place not far away and made a rough estimate. "According to the airship's current falling curve, it's highly likely that it won't hit the Tower of Babel directly, but will slide down along the side. Let's go to the hatch at the bottom of the airship and wait, and jump off the moment the airship touches the Tower of Babel—"
"No need to go to such trouble." Suzuki Jirokichi waved his hand, "I just called someone to send a helicopter to rescue us. There is a special helipad for the Suzuki Group in Osaka, and it will be here in a while."
6.
As expected of the Suzuki Group, they are rich.
Look at Conan, who always uses a skateboard and straps to escape when in danger. Then look at the wealthy Suzuki family, who only need to make a phone call to escape.
Everyone was being shaken around in the airship and were trying to make fun of each other when the Suzuki family's helicopter arrived.
The airship was shaking too violently, and the current helicopters could not get too close to the airship. They could only lower a few rescue ropes and let people climb up through the windows along the rope ladders. Those who had lost the ability to move were tied to the ropes and dragged up by the people inside the helicopter.
Because there was still plenty of time and there was no need to be polite, they lined up according to their distance from the window, and Chu Ming stood at the end.
Watching the people on the airship climb up the rope ladder one by one, Chu Ming was just about to release the connection with the robot and go out to see if he could create some magnetic field in the chaos.
Suddenly he controlled the robot to turn twice and finally remembered what he had just forgotten.
Where are his emotional value holders? ? ? ?
He grabbed Conan and said, "Are Ai and the others not here yet?"
Conan's eyes suddenly widened: "They are still on the top floor!"
After saying that, he was about to run outside, but he could not control his balance at all. As soon as his hands let go of the railing, he slid straight out of the airship.
Chu Ming quickly grabbed his collar and pulled him up: "I'll go find him, you stay here."
"Brother Chu Ming, you are still injured, I can go. I was the one who sent them away before, I had to--" Conan was pulled by the collar, and it was a bit hard to breathe. His hands and feet were hanging down, and there was some guilt on his face. He originally wanted to keep the children away from danger, but he didn't expect to put them in a more dangerous situation.
"Little boy, be quiet and don't move. If you slip out, no one will be able to save you in time." Officer Nakamori noticed that Conan behind him was struggling and was almost thrown out of the airship. He was a little anxious, "You two, come in front of me."
Chu Ming put Conan into the hand that Officer Nakamori held out. "Officer, there are four children on the airship. When we escaped from the room just now, they went to the upper deck of the airship. I will go find them."
Conan was not willing to let Chu Ming take risks alone, so he twisted left and right, slipped away from Officer Nakamori's hands like a swimming fish, and slid towards Chu Ming: "Brother Chu Ming, wait for me, I'll go with you!"
Officer Nakamori didn't catch any of them, and the two behind him disappeared. He frowned and was about to chase after them. After all, he couldn't just leave two children to rescue people. But Kudo Shinichi in front of him turned around and said, "I'll go check it out too. Officer, you have to maintain order and watch the people of the red Siamese cat, so you can't get away."
After saying that, he also rushed out nimbly.
Only Officer Nakamori, whose hands and feet were a beat slower, was left standing there, staring blankly at the empty spaces in front and behind him.
At this time, the airship was having difficulty moving forward. Chu Ming used the high-tech grappling claw he got from the organization to move upwards little by little.
"Brother Chu Ming, I'll help you find it."
The sound came from far away and got closer. Chu Ming turned around and saw Conan riding a skateboard on the shaking airship as if it were flat ground. He was moving very fast. Behind him, Kidd was jumping up and down like a bouncing bean and following closely behind him.
Chu Ming leaned against the wall to steady himself: "Why are you two following me?"
"I'll help you look for them. Where are the four children? If one of them gets hurt and can't move, you can't do anything by yourself—" Conan glanced back at Kid who had stolen his identity, "This guy is also good. Although he's not a good person, at least he can help."
"..." Kidd was speechless. What do you mean he's not a good person? It's just borrowing someone's identity. What a big deal. He's really a vengeful detective.
"I'll try calling them with my detective badge. If they're still conscious, they should respond to me." Conan took out the detective badge from his pocket and tuned to the calling frequency. "Haibara, Haibara, can you hear me, Haibara?"
"Okay, Edogawa, is everything okay on your end?"
"It's okay. Where are you now? The spaceship just exploded. Are you injured?"
"No, we are now at the grid ladder right below the airbag of the airship. Ayumi said this is where you first discovered the bomb. At the moment of the explosion just now, I used ropes to secure several of us, so no one was hurt even though the spaceship was shaking."
Huihara Ai's voice came from the badge, and at this moment it seemed particularly calm. Conan breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys wait for me there. Mr. Suzuki has called for a helicopter rescue. We will be rescued when we get up there."
It happened that the airship was no longer shaking like before. The three of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at where Haibara Ai and the others were.
On the grid, four children were tied neatly, hanging on the escalator like sausages. The moment they saw Chu Ming and the others, they shouted happily: "Conan, Conan, here, here!"
Chu Ming was the first to reach out and hook the ropes of several people. A blade popped out from his fingertips and cut directly: "Quick, go over now while the airship is not shaking so violently and the ground is still relatively stable. If the airship is not shaking now, it means it will fall straight down soon. Hurry up."
The children did not dare to delay and got up and hurriedly followed. Only a series of hurried footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.
Just as he was about to rush into the hall, the airship suddenly tilted downward. In just a moment, the ground under his feet turned into a wall. Chu Ming reacted quickly, threw the grappling claw forward and grabbed the hanging lamp firmly. While holding the grappling hook with his right hand to stabilize his body, he swung the rope in his hand downward and circled Genta's feet. Genta grabbed Mitsuhiko and Ayumi's hands, and the four of them swayed in the air.
On the other side, Kidd also grabbed the chain on the wall with one hand and pulled Conan and Ayumi with the other hand.
The hall is not far below, but this short distance seems so close yet so far away.
Chu Ming and Kidd each held a string of candied haws hanging in the air and looked at each other.
