Chapter 1287 Flying Cars and Bullets
Chapter 1287 Flying Cars and Bullets
The white Mazda sped up inside the building. Its once stylish front end was now shattered. After being hit multiple times, it finally burst into flames, and the strong, pungent smell of burning flesh assaulted Conan and Amuro Tooru's nostrils.
However, this was not an ordinary road, and even with Amuro Tooru's best efforts, his speed was still insufficient.
"No, at this speed, we won't reach the required height!" Conan shouted anxiously.
"Leave it to me!" Amuro roared, jerking the steering wheel and swerving the car straight toward the stairs—where the newly erected formwork stood, and the concrete had not yet been poured.
Upon seeing the unfinished staircase, Conan instantly understood Amuro Tooru's plan. He bent down, adjusted the power-enhancing shoes to their maximum, and unbuckled his seatbelt, wrapping it around his left hand, ready to kick the ball with all his might at any moment.
The car sped off, Amuro Tooru staring intently at the stairs, the tires precisely hitting the edge of the stairs, and then—
With a loud bang, the Mazda leaped up and slammed into the wall. As the front of the car twisted and deformed completely, the concrete wall broke through instantly, and the car burst through the wall and flew into the sky.
Conan, now freed from the seatbelt, was thrown into the air, but the seatbelt wrapped around his left hand held him tightly, suspending him in mid-air.
Conan gritted his teeth and stared up, his eyesight and reflexes reaching their peak in those few seconds due to the adrenaline rush.
The return capsule was rapidly falling toward the observation tower, and a thin film of air formed at the bow as it cut through the air at high speed.
Conan pressed the switch on his belt, and a black and white soccer ball popped out with a thud. Immediately afterward, Conan's right leg shot high into the air, then came crashing down—
“Go for it!!!”
With a powerful shot, the football deformed instantly under immense pressure, and in the next instant, it shot towards the return capsule like a cannonball.
At the same time, a loud explosion rang out in the air—"Bang!"
Amuro Tooru and Conan looked up simultaneously, only to see a bullet emerge from the darkness, trailing a long flame, and strike the bulkhead of the return capsule in the blink of an eye.
Randomly, the football followed closely behind, crashing into the side of the cabin with a loud thud.
Because of the protective air membrane, the football couldn't even touch the cabin and exploded directly, bursting into a dazzling firework in the sky.
Under the influence of gravity, Conan and Amuro Tooru fell downwards, and the same thought simultaneously flashed through their minds—where did the shot come from?
···
Yuu lay low to the ground, the roar of the propellers filling his ears—hitting the side of the return capsule wouldn't be easy; at such a high speed, there was only one chance!
He held his breath, his finger slowly gripping the trigger, applying slight pressure, the sights locked firmly on the target.
Under Hayato Ogawa's control, the helicopter hovered steadily in mid-air without any undulation.
Just then, a loud explosion came from below, but Yu remained unmoved.
Hayato Ogawa instinctively looked down and saw the dilapidated Mazda crash through the wall and fly into the sky.
"???!!!" He instinctively wanted to exclaim, but he clenched his teeth tightly to keep from making a sound.
The next second, a soccer ball hurtled towards the return capsule like a missile.
At the same time, the return capsule also crashed at the coordinates that Yuya had calculated in advance.
"Now!" Yuya growled, his fingers striking down without hesitation—
Bang! With a dull thud, the bullet left the chamber. Accelerated by the rotation of the eight rifling grooves, the 12.7mm bullet struck the bulkhead of the reentry capsule in the blink of an eye, hitting the most solid part with precision.
The bullet exploded, and the resulting shockwave pushed the return capsule away by a fraction of an inch.
Immediately afterwards, Conan kicked out and exploded next to the return capsule, pushing it away slightly.
As we all know, if the distance is long enough, even if it is only a millimeter off, the final landing point of the object will be very different.
Although the return capsule appears to have remained stationary, it has actually undergone tremendous changes.
Under the watchful eyes of several people, the high-speed return capsule flew straight toward the observation tower.
Those inside and below the tower finally noticed the approaching Grim Reaper and frantically tried to escape, crowding together to get away.
After firing his gun, Yuya sat up and stared intently at the return capsule.
Under his watchful eye, the return capsule plummeted straight down, barely grazing the observation tower. The sonic boom that swept through caused cracks to appear in the glass of the tower, but that was all.
In the end, it landed heavily in Tokyo Bay without causing the slightest ripple, sending a huge splash into the sky.
Hayato Ogawa stared blankly at the scene, and after a long while, his body trembled with excitement as he stammered, "We...we did it! Chairman, we did it!"
"what."
Looking at the unscathed observation tower, Yuu let out a long sigh of relief, leaning against the wall and feeling weak all over.
Despite his calm and collected demeanor as he aimed and fired, no one knew the tension and fear he was feeling inside.
What if he misjudged the timing of his shot? What if the bullet entered at the wrong angle? What if the reentry capsule failed to hold and disintegrated...?
There are too many "what ifs".
Fortunately, the outcome was good.
but···
Yuya leaned halfway out and looked down, only to see Amuro Tooru carrying Conan crash through the glass and fall into the building across the street. He was relieved.
As long as you don't fall straight down, you'll only suffer minor injuries at most.
These two are really too daring, actually doing stunt driving. Do they think they're filming an action movie?
That is to say, Conan is the protagonist of the Conan world, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into the building, but would have crashed to the ground and turned into two patties.
"Let's go back," Yuya said calmly.
"Yes!..." Ogawa Hayato opened his mouth, wanting to ask what happened with the flying car and what was the story behind the soccer ball that could explode like fireworks.
But remembering what the chairman had just said about not getting involved, he kept his mouth shut and buried the matter deep in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Yuya suddenly spoke up: "Did you get a good look at the people in the car just now?"
Hayato Ogawa paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "It's a bit far, I didn't see it."
"I see... Let's go, just drop me off somewhere secluded along the way."
He shuddered, feeling as if he had just walked through the gates of hell, and nodded tremblingly: "I understand."
The helicopter bounced slightly, then turned its nose around and headed back the way it came.
After overcoming his fear, Hayato Ogawa was incredibly excited. This trip was absolutely worth it! Not only did he get to see the legendary chairman in person, but he also accomplished such a great mission together.
This shot probably saved at least 3 people in Hai Zhi Ya.
So the chairman really meant it when he said he'd make me a hero too!
