After all, sitting there like a fool watching Gin clean his gun is really too boring.

He also needs to see what the situation is with the robots.

He directly turned on the micro camera produced by the system that he had installed before to see what was happening to Conan and the others who were locked in the room by him.

As soon as the screen popped up, he got a critical hit.

There was a pile of burnt ashes in the middle of the room, and the robot disguised as him was lying on the empty bed with only the bed board.

What are you doing?

He's not dead yet!

Why didn't they even put a sheet on him?

bang——

There was a loud bang.

Chu Ming turned the camera and looked over. Xiaolan was preparing to kick the door, and the double-layer iron door that he had carefully selected had a large dent in it.

As expected of a Valkyrie, even this couldn't hold her back...

Chu Ming controlled the robot and coughed slowly a few times. He took a deep breath for a while and then opened his eyes.

Huiyuan Ai, who had been taking care of him, was the first to come over: "Brother Chu Ming, are you awake?"

At this sound, even Xiaolan, who was kicking the door, stopped and turned around to run over. Several tightly wrapped heads, big and small, came to the bedside: "Brother Chu Ming, how do you feel?"

Chu Ming coughed twice, his voice a little hoarse: "Go away, stay away from me, I'm infected with the virus..."

"It's okay. We're all in this room now. There's nowhere to hide. Besides, we've taken precautions." Conan patted Chu Ming comfortingly. "Do you feel any discomfort now?"

Chu Ming struggled to stand up, his eyes a little anxious: "That group of people, they want to spread the virus to the whole of Japan, we have to stop them, otherwise Japan will-"

The robot couldn't say the rest of the words. His eyes were full of grief and anxiety, and he looked like a good boy who was worried about his country.

It was completely different from Chu Ming who was laughing in front of the surveillance camera.

"When we were locked up, the kidnapper also splashed the virus on us, but we made our own masks and put them on right away. Although we feel a little dizzy now, it's not that serious." Conan recounted Chu Ming's situation after he fell into a coma.

"Although the virus will leak out once the door is opened, I always feel that the kidnappers must have other means. No matter what, let's get out first. The virus is afraid of high temperatures. I still have the lighter that I took from the uncle in the restaurant before, so I used the bed sheet as a ignition to burn the air. Although I don't know if it will work, it's better than nothing."

Conan turned around and pointed at the door that Xiaolan kicked out of the pit: "Unfortunately, this fire is a bit choking. There are no windows in the room, and the door is closed. Only the small hole at the top is connected to the outside world, so we have to open the door as soon as possible."

Chu Ming forced himself to sit up: "I'll help too."

Huiyuan Ai pushed him down directly: "What help? Just take a good rest. How do you want to help in this situation?"

Conan looked at Chu Ming who was held down by Huibara Ai, nodded silently, and also advised: "Yeah, Chu Ming brother, you are so strong now that even Huibara can hold you down, you'd better not be so stubborn."

After all, it is not his own body, but Chu Ming who is controlling the robot: ...

He silently changed his lying position to prone position and watched Xiaolan kick the door.

Once, twice, three times...

Finally, with Xiaolan's unremitting efforts, with a loud bang, a big hole was kicked in the door.

"Wow!" Several children shouted excitedly, "Sister Xiaolan is so amazing!"

Conan's face was also full of joy, but at the same time, he was a little alert: "Shh - keep your voice down, they may not have heard us kicking the door just now, but the last one should be very loud, let's be careful."

Xiaolan nodded, and the few of them waited on both sides of the gate for a long time as if they were facing a great enemy, but there was still no movement outside.

While Conan and the others were on guard at the door, Huiyuan Ai asked Chu Ming softly: "What's going on? Why did you suddenly--"

Chu Ming paused. He knew that Huibara Ai would definitely ask him. His original script was not like this. He had arranged the script for himself. He would pretend to be taken away by the kidnappers, then successfully escape, disguised as a robber and return to the crowd, and finally become a hero who saved everyone with his magical power.

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.

After he returned to the living room, he used too much force and couldn't control his madness. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not a good person. How could he disguise himself?

They could only make the best of a bad situation and quickly throw the robot in before Conan and the others were locked up, barely filling the gap.

"They wanted to use this to lure out the FBI. I wanted to stop them, but Granburch—" Chu Ming hesitated as he lowered his head slightly. His fringe covered his eyes, making him look much more melancholy. "We accidentally broke the bottle during the argument, and the virus leaked out."

Huihara Ai widened her eyes: "Then Granburch also--"

Chu Ming knew what Huiyuan Ai wanted to ask and shook his head: "I'm fine now. The fever before was probably caused by the fight between the antidote and the virus in my body, which triggered a reaction of my body functions. The organization has an antidote, and we were all vaccinated before participating in this mission. I was locked up here at my own request because most of the virus was spilled on me at the time. I was afraid that the virus would spread after I got out, so I took the initiative to ask him to lock me up here temporarily."

"Haibara, Chu Ming brother, stop chatting. Come on, no one is coming, let's go." Conan and the others had already gone out, and now they were sticking their heads in from the hole, calling out to Chu Ming and Haibara Ai to leave quickly.

Chapter 553 Infection

Chu Ming stopped talking, and under the heartbroken gaze of Huihara Ai, he slowly crawled out of the hole that Xiaolan had dug.

His face was still flushed. Although the red rashes on his face had disappeared, the blisters on his neck and body had burst, and blood was slowly oozing out. His lips were also a little cracked due to lack of water, but he still insisted on following Conan and the others.

Conan looked at Chu Ming with some concern, and couldn't help but dissuade him: "Brother Chu Ming, why don't you find a room to rest? You don't look very well now..."

Chu Ming shook his head: "The fever just now should be just a protective mechanism of the body's immune system. I feel much better now, and there should be no problem. How can you two face so many armed bandits?"

"But you're all bleeding—well..."

Conan felt helpless. Looking at Chu Ming's determined face despite his weakness and injury, he knew he had no way of convincing him. He could only repeatedly remind him to rest if he felt uncomfortable and not to act stubbornly.

The corridor was empty at this time. Conan and a few children sneaked towards the living room and didn't meet anyone along the way.

"What's going on? Why are all the robbers gone?" Mitsuhiko asked in a low voice, "Did they take away all the people on the airship?"

"How is that possible? Why did they capture all the people? Those bad guys clearly said they wanted to use us to infect them with the virus." Ayumi retorted.

Yuan Tai also quietly joined in the discussion: "Maybe they are locking everyone in a big room and spraying poison inside. Isn't that what they see on TV?"

Conan looked back at the children, then turned around with a serious expression: "I have a very important task for you, are you capable of doing it?"

The three real kids' eyes lit up: "Of course, what's the mission?"

Conan pointed to the top floor where they found the bomb before and said, "I need you to check if there are any bombs left there. If there are any, notify me immediately through your badge. After we dismantled the previous bombs, the kidnappers might install new ones. If the airship explodes, all of us will be doomed. The safety of the entire airship is in your hands now. Can you handle such an important task?"

Conan deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of the mission. He didn't want the children to take risks with him. After all, those people in the hall at that time were not ordinary kidnappers, but members of that organization!

They disguised themselves like this and pretended to be mercenaries who accepted a mission from the United States. There must be some conspiracy!

He is already entangled with the organization, and he cannot drag the people around him into it.

The children had no idea that Conan was trying to get them out of the way. When they heard that it was a very important mission, their eyes lit up with excitement and they carefully moved toward the top of the airship. At Conan's signal, Haibara Ai also followed.

Before leaving, she looked deeply at Chu Ming and Conan, and whispered, "Be careful."

Chu Ming nodded seriously, and moved forward cautiously with Xiaolan and Conan as if facing a great enemy, but until they arrived near the hall, they still didn't see anyone.

Xiaolan grabbed Conan who was about to run to the hall, and put him next to Chu Ming with a firm expression: "Conan, you stay with Brother Chu Ming, I'll go over there first, if there's no danger, you can go over there."

"No." Conan was the first to object. "I'll go. I'm short and they won't notice me easily."

"Just listen to me. They want to catch the child. I will be safer. If I really encounter robbers, I can just knock them down." Xiaolan waved her fist to comfort Conan, "Just wait here for me."

Without waiting for Conan to answer, she raised her hand and stroked Conan's head, then lurked towards the hall with light steps, stepping in the blind spots of the hall at every step, making sure that no one in the hall could see her at all.

Wow, that's pretty impressive.

Chu Ming remembered that he had only taught her this skill once, when he sneaked into Yulong Temple to rescue He Ye. He taught Xiaolan how to sneak in silently and without leaving any trace. Now it seems that Xiaolan's talent is indeed very strong.

It’s a pity that the members of the protagonist group, and the ones closest to the protagonist, cannot join the organization.

However, he couldn't just let them rescue the people like that. After all, the bulk of the operation was on the airship, and that was also why he left the robot behind.

Chu Ming looked at the map left on the airship. They were about to reach the Tower of Babel in Osaka. Then he saw Conan staring at Xiaolan as she sneaked in quietly, not paying any attention to the movements around him, so he just pressed the switch.

“Bang—bang—”

With a few loud bangs, the airship began to shake violently and even tilted to the side.

Chu Ming was prepared. He reached out and hooked the door handle beside him to steady his body. Conan slid to the wall and hit his head hard on the wall.

Chu Ming steadied himself, held back his laughter, and asked anxiously, "Conan, are you okay?"

Conan was dazed and tried to get up from the wall, but the airship was shaking so violently that he could not support his body. He could only passively slide down like a ball and slid into the hall faster than Xiaolan.

Xiaolan, who was trying to stand firm and move forward, said: What just slipped by?

Chu Ming aimed at the target and slowly slid along the wall to Xiaolan's side: "Conan just slid in! Let's go in and take a look!"

Xiaolan is agile, and 'Chu Ming' is a combat robot and even more flexible. The two of them walked on the bumpy and shaking airship as if it were flat ground, and soon entered the hall.

The hall was in chaos at this time. The rope Chu Ming used to tie people up was made of tough material produced by the system, which was designed to prevent people like Kidd who had many small devices on their bodies.

So after Chu Ming and others left, everyone in the hall tried their best to wear the rope loose, but none of them could do it.

At the moment the airship exploded, everyone was still struggling hard. Fortunately, Chu Ming trapped them on the railing, otherwise when the airship swayed from side to side, everyone would probably have a close contact with the wall.

The bomb exploded, and the virus slid and spread. There was even a few bottles of virus hidden in a corner of the hall. When the airship vibrated, they fell to the ground and shattered. The virus liquid even dripped onto everyone.

When Conan slid in like a bomb, the red Siamese cats were looking at the red rashes and blisters appearing on their bodies in despair.

"Conan? Why are you here? Where is Xiaolan? How is she?" Mouri Kogoro was the first to notice Conan and asked repeatedly.

"Sister Xiaolan is right behind us..." Conan barely grasped the curtain and slowly moved to Kogoro Mouri, ready to untie the rope for him.

"No, this rope cannot be separated. It must be untied from the source. At that time, it started with Officer Nakamori. Go and see if you can untie him first."

Just as Conan was trying hard to pull the knot in Officer Nakamori's hand, Chu Ming and Xiaolan also came into the living room swiftly and elegantly.

With the efforts of the three people, the ropes of all the people except those of the red Siamese cat were untied.

Seeing the red rash on Maori Kogoro's body, Xiaolan's eyes turned red: "Dad..."

Maori Kogoro dodged Xiaolan who rushed towards him, with a bitter look on his face: "Dad has a virus, stay away from me, don't get infected..."

Chu Ming glanced around and found that many people in the hall had already shown symptoms of infection because the virus had been splashed on them at close range and had just come into contact with their skin.

On the contrary, it was Xiaolan and Conan, because he threw the virus on the ground at that time and it did not come into direct contact with their bodies, and Conan decisively made a mask by himself and burned the air with fire, so they did not seem to be infected with the virus.

Tsk, what a pity, Conan escaped again, he really deserves to be the protagonist.

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.
