Crossing the border of California, this place is located in Texas, on an unknown wilderness road.
The road was full of potholes and it had rained just last night, so it was not easy to walk along the way.
Both sides were overgrown with weeds. It was bright and high at this time, and occasionally you could see a few small insects scurrying around among them.
Quiet, desolate.
Along with some fragrance after the rain.
It is a true portrayal of this wilderness road.
pity!
Conan and the others did not want to enjoy such beautiful scenery.
Since last night, they have come a long way, stumbling and groping in the dark.
"Whoosh, whoosh~"
Dr. Agasa gasped.
He was already fat, but the hardships along the way and his life on the run were too difficult for him.
Dr. A Li only felt like he was covered in rust!
My arms and legs feel as heavy as lead. Ah, I really want to lie down and have a good sleep. If conditions permit, it would be even better if I could take a bath and drink a cup of hot tea.
However, these were things that were easy in the past.
It is too difficult for them now. It is not even certain when they can find a place to stay on this endless road.
Are they going to sleep on the street again tonight? !
This is really difficult.
You must know that they could sleep in the car last night, but now they have lost their car in order to escape for their lives.
"Shinichi..."
Dr. Ali muttered, asking for help from Conan who was following behind him.
"Doctor, hold on, just hold on."
"I saw the road sign before, there should be someone there soon!"
Conan's voice is a little hoarse.
However, when he was on the road before, he had seen the road signs on the roadside.
If all goes well, they should be able to meet someone soon, and with a little luck, maybe find a place to stay and a hot meal.
"I hope so!"
Dr. A Li didn't say it out loud, he just thought in his heart.
He was exhausted.
He didn't even have the strength to speak.
Dr. A Li felt that his big belly was about to disappear, and this was all thanks to this narrow escape.
In fact, regarding the situation they faced after their escape this time.
Before escaping from Zabo's military base, Dr. Ari had a plan with Conan.
To be honest, although it is very miserable now, it is not in a desperate situation. After all, after all, Zabo has not been captured yet.
The importance of "Hyde's formula" is self-evident.
However, Zabo, who has a morbid pursuit of this potion, will never allow Dr. Ali and the others to escape control.
In particular, Haihara Ai also used those defective Hyde potions to unlock part of the potion formula to a limited extent.
This is absolutely intolerable to Zabo, and he will never allow his own formula to fall into the hands of others.
Therefore, there is no possibility of reconciliation between them.
Conan knew this very well, which was why they had to leave.
This is a dead end.
Unless Conan and the others let Zabo control them for life, once they are out of control, Zabo will have only one option, and that is to kill! !
Now, Dr. Ali ran away with his people, which was extremely humiliating for Zabo.
Mr. Hyde is tyrannical, while Dr. Zabo is arrogant, and he will never let Dr. Ali go.
even……
Because they left in such a hurry, they didn't have time to sort out some details in the laboratory.
With Zabo's wisdom, it is now very likely that he is the person who truly completes the complete potion formula in Hyde's formula for him.
In fact, it was not Dr. A Li, but the little girl behind him, Haibara Ai.
A little girl who looked as old as Haiyuan Ai actually unlocked Zabo's Hyde formula to a limited extent.
This kind of thing... is shocking enough!
However, for the arrogant and controlling Dr. Zabo, a genius like Haibara Ai would never be allowed to let go.
Either capture him or kill him!
There is no third option for such a vicious villain.
"..."
Conan was silent all the way.
His brain was running rapidly, thinking about the next countermeasures.
Because he knew that even if Zabo didn't catch them personally, a large number of mercenaries must be chasing them behind them.
These guys, who are like mad dogs, are getting orders to take them back.
Although, there is a god in the team now.
But……
Maybe it's because of the different camps. The bloody red name is really eye-catching to Conan.
And, most importantly.
Even though those who were chasing them were desperadoes, Conan still didn't want to kill anyone.
Conan didn't see the scene where Frogzi took action at the Zabo military base before, but he could see it through Dr. Agasa's description.
Conan was still frightened.
He could not imagine at all that this little girl was wearing a frog-like hat and had an innocent and cute face, as if she was on an outing.
How to kill the enemy with a smile, and it was an extremely cruel way to die.
terrible! !
This directly leads to Conan not being very close to Frogzi now, and the one who follows Frogzi all the time is Haibara Ai.
However, a certain god didn't care.
However, it was precisely because he didn't want to kill anyone, and he didn't want those desperadoes who were chasing after him to be killed by the cruel god.
Conan can be regarded as risking his life.
More than thirty hours in total.
Unless they can't hold on any longer, they will find some remote places to stop and rest.
Dr. Agasa and Conan took turns driving.
He didn't let go of the accelerator under his feet all the way, and ran out as hard as he could.
They rushed all the way from California to Texas for more than 2,000 kilometers. On the uninhabited wilderness road, their speed never dropped below 100 kilometers per hour.
Under such a high-intensity rush.
The only good thing is that the car they chose still has some spare gasoline.
This supported their momentum of rushing forward with all their might! !
It can be said that this is a blessing in misfortune.
However!
This kind of luck was completely used up just last night.
The car they had gone through so much trouble to get from the base was finally destroyed by them.
Just last night in the middle of the night, when it was still raining, the car broke down.
Looking at it, on the deserted wilderness road, there was no human beings in front or behind, and there were mercenaries who might be chasing after him.
There was no time to repair the car.
no way!
Dr. A Li and the others could only switch from driving to walking and continue their escape journey.
However.
It was fine when there were cars before, they could speed forward.
But now they are all walking. If they were walking on the road, wouldn't they become a target for the mercenaries chasing after them?
They had no choice but to walk through some difficult areas with overgrown vegetation. At the very least, they would be somewhat sheltered.
But this is really difficult for Dr. Ali. For his size, he has now entered hell mode.
Holding on and gritting his teeth, Dr. Ali finally saw the light of day.
When I raised my head, I felt my eyes light up, and then I felt dizzy.
"ah!!"
Dr. A Li swayed.
Snapped! !
The whole person fell down.
"PhD!"
"Doctor, are you okay!!"
"Dr. Ari!"
Conan and Haihara Ai hurried up to check, but they were frightened.
Dr. A Li's body is already puffy and fat, so he had to do such high-intensity exercise along the way so that nothing could happen to him.
"Huh~"
"Shinichi, Xiaoai!!"
"It's really, really impossible!"
My throat was so dry that it was about to burst into flames. Every time I spoke a word, it felt like a knife was poking at my vocal cords. It hurt like hell.
Dr. A Li couldn't care about anything else at this time.
His fat body was lying on the grass, covered in mud. When had he ever suffered this? !
He is a doctor, okay, he is an outstanding talent.
This this……
Why is this not as good as eating and drinking somewhere in Zabo? !
Of course, even though he is so mentally complaining now, Dr. Ali also knows that Zabo is a lunatic.
If you stay in a place like that, you might be eaten alive by Zabo at some point.
"This can't go on like this, the doctor's body can't bear it."
"Think of a way, or let's take a break. Actually..."
"Those people can't do anything if they catch up."
After Haibara Ai briefly checked Dr. A Li's body, she told Conan that this would not work.
At the very least, Dr. Ali really couldn't hold on any longer.
Moreover, there is no way for them to keep running like this. Can they still keep running down? !
"I, I know!!"
Conan hesitated and nodded.
To be honest, he was also tired.
Although he does have stronger physical strength than Dr. Ali.
However, the tense nerves along the way also made him feel like he was almost out of breath.
There were some fast food products in the car, probably for the mercenaries when they went out.
However, Conan and the others' consumption is simply not enough, and now they don't even have a car.
The body's functions have gradually begun to deteriorate.
It consumes a lot of physical energy, but there is no appropriate energy to replenish it.
If this continues, some of them will die on the way to escape.
no!
We have to think of a way!
Conan frowned and his brain started spinning rapidly.
"Look, there are little bugs!!"
A certain frog screamed happily.
"Why!!"
Hui Yuan Ai responded in time.
"..."
Well, it seems that these two are not tired.
Conan thought a little tiredly
After all, these two were riding in a car, so they didn't suffer much.
When Haibara Ai fell asleep, she asked Dr. Ali to carry her all the way, and then she got in the car.
Therefore, Xiao Ai's condition is relatively better.
And Shibuya Suwako...
This guy is not human at all. As a god, he doesn't even know if he can feel tired.
The key is!
Watching her look left and right along the way, even a bug in the grass could steal her attention.
It was a lot of fun, and there was no awareness that they were running for their lives.
And the reality is exactly the same.
For Gakuya Suwako, that was the most novel experience.
Escape?
what is that?
This is clearly a trip full of happiness! !
…
"PhD!"
Taking a deep breath, Conan sat down on the ground and took the time to rest and adjust his strength.
Open the redemption list in the store.
"Should we... exchange the car for it?"
"That Beetle?!"
Then his eyes were fixed on Dr. A Li's Beetle.
Conan looked confused.
The importance of [Black Jade] is undoubted, but it always feels unworthy to be used in a place like this.
After all, they only have this little [Black Jade] on hand. Now that it’s all used up, what will they do if they need to use it later?
The key is!
The source of [Black Jade] is not stable.
So far, Conan has counted the [Black Jade] they have harvested.
After daily life in the base, they can get very little, and the basic source comes from some new-faced mercenaries.
However, this requires Conan to run around.
The slightly more rewarding thing is every time Dr. Ali risks his life to fool Zabo.
Dr. A Li and Haibara Ai can both obtain [Black Jade] from Zabo due to the situation related to Hyde's formula.
As for the biggest gain in their hands.
Of course, it was the part where they broke through many blockades, played hide and seek along the way, and successfully escaped from the military base.
It was really a life and death crisis. When they were caught and absolutely dead, they gained a lot of [Black Jade].
But, that’s all.
There are definitely not as many [Kogyoku] as Kazuya Suwako does directly.
Of course, taking action directly also means that it is more dangerous, such as the killer Eli who was killed directly and then was killed in reverse! !
Again, Conan is extremely resistant to killing and counter-killing! !
He just can't stand this, what can he do? !
Therefore, before there is a stable source of [Black Jade], Conan doesn't want to touch his current savings.
"this……"
Hearing Conan's inquiry, Dr. Ari also hesitated.
Of course he is also aware of the current situation.
Haibara and Seiya Suwako don't need to worry, at least they can hold on for a while longer.
But both his and Shinichi's physical strength were approaching their limits.
Especially when there are pursuers behind them, it is impossible for them to outrun the car just by walking on two legs.
Looking at it this way, exchanging the car seems to be the best option.
But the problem came again.
They are now undercover, and they don't even have any identity documents.
Shouldn't the most important thing about their [Black Jade] be to give them an identity first? !
Now just exchange for a Beetle...
Although Dr. Ali actually misses his car, it’s just not worth it! !
"PhD!"
"Kudo!!"
Just when Conan and Dr. Ari were entangled.
Haiyuan Ai spoke like an angel.
"Small town!"
"There's a town not far away!"
This was the accurate news she got from Gakuya Suwako.
God-sama’s feelings are unmistakable.
"Yes!"
"I feel the scent of humanity."
Frogzi said casually.
"What?"
Conan's eyes lit up.
I haven’t come yet and asked in detail.
Next to him, he saw Dr. Ali, who was still tired and dizzy a second ago, swooping up with a thunderous speed.
"Uh, Doctor!!"
"Aren't we going to take a break again?!"
Conan looked at Dr. Ali with a confused expression as he regained his energy.
"No!!"
"I feel like hope is just around the corner."
Dr. A Li and Haihara Ai left with Frogzi.
"..."
Conan, who stayed where he was, was a little confused!
Hey, hey, isn’t it? Gods can speak so easily? !
When Conan came to his senses, Dr. Ali and the others were gone.
"Uh-huh?!"
"Wait for me!"
In this way, Conan and his party walked forward for more than ten minutes.
Maybe, God's blessing really exists.
The town really appeared! !
"Shinichi!!"
"I saw it, the top of the tower!!"
"That should be a bell tower, we are saved!!"
