Chapter 756: Not Dead
Fearing that Kidd would take out the crystal ball at this time, Chu Ming stopped leaning against the wall and pretended to be deep. He stood up and walked over: "I am the best here, you stay here, I will go explore the way and come back soon."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator shaft not far away. The elevator shaft had collapsed due to the previous explosion and was now in ruins.
Chu Ming jumped over a huge rock, grabbed a hanging steel bar and climbed up, and soon disappeared in front of Conan and Kidd.
Kidd looked at Chu Ming's agile figure, turned his head to look at Conan, and threw the headset he just picked up to Conan: "Then I'll go to the other side. While you're at it, use this headset to contact the people outside and reveal the identity of the criminal."
Kidd turned and walked through another elevator shaft. He had to confirm whether he could escape through this route. If he couldn't take Conan and the unconscious Xiaolan away by himself, he would have to think of other ways.
Chu Ming climbed all the way up the elevator and soon reached the top. The original space here had been completely blocked by the collapsed walls, leaving only a very small exit. Even Conan might not be able to climb out.
This road is blocked——
He sat idly on a protruding steel bar to see if Kid would contact him.
After waiting for a long while, there was still no movement from the crystal ball in the system backpack.
It seems that Kidd has found the exit and no longer needs his vest's help.
Chu Ming looked at the top of the elevator shaft. The air pressure was much lower than before. If he didn't leave quickly, the place would collapse.
He jumped off the steel bars and went back along the ruins, just in time to see Conan accusing the murderer in Kudo Shinichi's voice.
The murderer was the appraiser Natsumi Miyadai who was hypnotized by Lafitte.
Her obsession was strengthened by Lafitte, and her mind was filled with destroying this fake painting. She absolutely could not allow it to be exhibited together with Van Gogh's real paintings.
She was already a little paranoid, and after being hypnotized by Lafitte, her obsession only deepened. In order to destroy the painting, she did not care whether it would hurt other people.
When Conan finished his voice call, Kid came back from the other side.
"How is it?" Conan turned to look at Chu Ming and Kidd, "Is there a way out?"
Chu Ming was the first to shake his head: "No, it's a little difficult from my side. Although I can climb up, the exit there is very small. Even with your current body, you can't get out."
"I can go alone, but I can't take you on a hang glider..." Kidd sat down on a boulder, scratched his head in distress, and muttered softly, "This happened suddenly, and I didn't even bring my crystal ball..."
Conan didn't hear the latter part of the sentence, but after hearing the first part, he waved the headset he had just taken off and said, "It's okay, you can leave by yourself, we just need to wait for rescue."
"No, the air pressure here drops very quickly. Waiting for the rescuers to come will only cause a secondary disaster. Even if there is only a small hole above, this place will collapse immediately." Kidd stopped Conan from calling for help. "I just checked it too. It's a miracle that this place hasn't collapsed yet."
"If you only take Xiaolan with you, can you leave?" Chu Ming asked suddenly.
Kidd looked up at the top of the cave. There were already tiny pieces of gravel and dust falling down. The cave could collapse at any time. "It's really difficult to fly with someone while avoiding falling rocks. I don't know how long the hang glider can last, but I should be able to get her out. What about you?"
Chu Ming glanced at Conan and said, "I will take him back the same way, back to the channel where the sunflowers are recovered. When the reservoir collapses, the water in the reservoir will flow out along the channel, and we can be washed to the lake outside, and then we will be saved. My physical fitness can guarantee that there will be no problems during this diving process, but Conan——"
Conan obviously trusts Chu Ming: "It's okay, at most he choked on some water and fainted."
Before Kidd could say anything, he suddenly jumped away from where he was squatting, dodging a rock as big as his head: "Not good--"
As rocks fell from the top of the cave, a lot of light shone in. As the air pressure changed, the entire cave began to shake violently. They had just walked all the way to the elevator shaft on the top floor and were right above the cave.
At this time, the floor under their feet also cracked a little. Chu Ming made a quick decision to throw Xiaolan to Kidd, and at the same time picked up Conan with his other hand and rushed down.
Conan only had time to turn around and shout to Kidd: "Xiaolan is in your care -"
Watching Kidd and Xiaolan flying towards the top of the cave, Conan grabbed the corner of Chu Ming's clothes tightly and watched him rush through the narrow cave like a flying swallow. Every step was just right, accurately avoiding falling rocks and loose floor under his feet.
It didn't seem like he was avoiding the collapse, but rather that the ground beneath his feet seemed to crack open wherever he passed.
After running back to the place where the sunflowers were stored, Chu Ming jumped down from the hole in the wall with Conan in his arms. He pulled off the retractable belt that the doctor had specially made for him from Conan, put it on the pipe that transported the painting, and slid down.
"Brother Chu Ming, it's too dangerous to slide down like this!" Conan was a little anxious. If he continued to slide down at such a speed without any cushioning below, he might be fine hiding in Chu Ming's arms, but Brother Chu Ming would definitely be injured.
"It's okay, take a deep breath!" Chu Ming's tone remained calm.
Conan did as he was told subconsciously, and the next moment he found a surging column of water surging up from below. The moment it hit him, the huge water pressure knocked him unconscious.
Seeing that Conan had fainted, Chu Ming took out a portable oxygen cylinder from the system backpack and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he quickly threw out a few micro bombs, swam back a little, and then pressed the switch to directly blast open the rock wall on the side.
He actually didn't tell the truth to Kidd and Conan. This amount of water column was not enough to break through the stone wall and flush them out. They still needed a little bit of external force.
Water can flow in here, and its height must be lower than the lake surface, so use a few micro-bombs to blast a small hole in the rock wall, change the internal pressure, and flush them directly into the lake.
However, there was no need to tell them these things, otherwise there would be no way to explain why he, a law-abiding citizen, would carry a bomb with him.
Chu Ming led Conan and rushed out from the blasted rock wall along the current, upstream along the lake. When he vaguely heard human voices, Chu Ming pulled the oxygen cylinder out of Conan's mouth.
Seeing Conan choking on the water due to breathing, Chu Ming quickened his swimming speed.
They all escaped from the water, how could they not choke on water?
It's a full-on act, and didn't Conan himself say that it was just a few chokings on the water, nothing serious happened?
