The enemy is closing in, and Conan and his friends have just escaped the mechanical monster and haven't even had a chance to catch their breath before they are plunged into a new crisis.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die, let's split up!" Conan said decisively.
Ran Mouri limped off in one direction, with Lin Yu close behind, trying to protect her. Ai Haibara and Yoru Kage, along with Conan, distracted some of the enemies.
"Halt!" the enemy shouted from behind.
Conan ran while observing his surroundings, looking for anything he could use. Suddenly, he saw a room filled with clutter.
"Go in!" Conan shouted.
They rushed into the room, quickly closed the door, and barricaded it with heavy objects.
"This won't last long," Nightshade said.
Conan didn't answer, but instead rummaged through the room for useful items. He found some chemicals and some old tools.
"Perhaps we can create a small explosion to buy time." A glint flashed in Conan's eyes.
Ai Haibara immediately understood his idea and began to help him mix the chemicals.
Meanwhile, Ran Mouri and Lin Yu also encountered trouble. They were cornered by the enemy.
"You can't escape!" the enemy laughed triumphantly.
Ran Mouri gritted her teeth, preparing for a final stand. Just then, Lin Yu suddenly noticed the ventilation duct in the wall.
"Sister Xiaolan, let's go this way!" Lin Yu said.
They struggled to climb into the ventilation duct, continuing their search for a chance to escape.
Meanwhile, Conan and Ai Haibara had already prepared a makeshift explosive device.
"Get ready!" Conan lit the fuse, then quickly hid in the distance with Yoru and Ai Haibara.
A deafening boom echoed as the room filled with smoke and flames. The enemy was temporarily kept at bay.
"Let's go!" Conan said.
They took the opportunity to escape the room and reunite with Ran Mouri and Yu Lin.
"This way!" Conan led everyone towards the building's basement.
The basement was dark and damp, filled with an unpleasant odor.
"Watch your step!" Ai Haibara warned.
They proceeded cautiously, when suddenly they heard the sound of flowing water.
"It looks like there's an underground river ahead," Conan said.
They came to the riverbank and found a dilapidated little boat.
"This is our only chance," Conan said gravely. His sharp eyes were fixed on the slowly flowing river, as if he could see through the water to the unknown road ahead and the dangers lurking within.
Upon hearing Conan's words, everyone quickly boarded the boat. The boat began to move slowly with the current, initially at a slow speed, but soon propelled forward by the swift river.
Meanwhile, the enemy caught up with them like a whirlwind. They watched the boats recede into the distance, their teeth clenched in fury. "Damn it, they got away!" the enemy leader roared angrily, his voice echoing through the sky and startling a flock of birds in the woods along the bank. However, faced with the wide river and their receding target, they were helpless, able only to stare blankly.
Conan and the others sat on the boat, their tense nerves relaxing slightly. But they knew this escape was only temporary; more unexpected hardships and life-or-death trials awaited them ahead. So, despite being temporarily out of the enemy's pursuit, each of them still wore an undisguised look of worry.
