Conan: The Mechanic - Chapter 1001

【coming! 】When the word flashed through his mind, Chiba leaned down slightly and pressed Shiho’s body down at the same time.

Almost before anyone else could realize what was going on, some passengers who happened to be standing in the middle of the carriage and looked in front of them found that the carriage in front had disappeared—just the initial impact of the explosion. , and easily tore the steel dragon off the track.

And this is just the beginning.

…………

In fact, this explosion was not perfect – although it had a countdown-like time design, the bomb did not explode when the subway came directly above it, as the attackers should have expected. There are no bones left of Kurura Yuichiro’s fried corpse.

According to subsequent inferences, the attackers placed a total of six groups of bombs, two large, four small, and four small, in the subway tunnel at a distance of up to 30 meters, which is about the length of one and a half carriages. The sensor used to determine the passage of the subway by sensing means was found about 250 meters away from the explosion site. That area is between two stations. According to the working data of the subway trains selected for the Toto Line, if the train really runs at the designed speed, the first passenger carriage where Governor Asakura is located will just arrive at the bomb. directly above.

However, the problem is that this is only the first run, so without telling others, the running speed of this Dongdu line is only 80% of the designed full speed. When the bomb exploded, the front of the car was still more than 30 meters away from the detonation site.

But even if the first wave of explosions didn’t hit the right spot, this explosion was still deadly to the subway running at high speed.

The reason is that this subway tunnel is not an ordinary underground rail, but borrows the passages made by other car tunnels-just below this tunnel, there is a one-way car tunnel.

In other words, right below the subway tunnel, it is hollow.

As mentioned before, the six groups of bombs are not evenly charged – four of them are very small, at best, they only destroy vehicles or something, but the two groups in the middle of the order are more powerful. enough to undermine the security structure of the tunnel itself. Although the upper wall of the car tunnel has left enough margin for the subway tunnel above to bear its load at the beginning of the design, the strength of the material itself has changed with the passage of time, whether it is related to the latest military technology or its own design performance. It is no longer the same in terms of.

In short, under the destruction of high-performance explosives, a subway tunnel about ten meters long collapsed. And because it was too late to slow down when it exploded, the train slammed into the collapsed pit at almost its original speed—and worse, didn’t fully rush in.

The height of the subway is about 3.5 meters, and the running speed is 50 kilometers per hour. According to the free fall formula, this means that when the front of the car is flush with the end of the pit, the top of the front of the car is still about 1.5 meters above the pit.

Coupled with the layer of reinforced concrete with a thickness of several tens of centimeters between the subway tunnel and the car tunnel, the most fragile support structure in the longitudinal center of the subway is almost unobstructed in the high-speed collision with these hard materials, even if the carriage As a result, it slowed down, but the car behind the same speed of 50 kilometers would collide again, replenishing the lost speed of the front car… This made the exposed reinforced concrete section at the end of the pit almost become a A treasured knife that slashed iron like mud, divided the frontmost sections of the subway into the upper and lower sections. There are many unfortunate people who have stood up in times of crisis due to stalking career requirements, or simply due to bad luck. The people in the 2nd to 3rd cars are okay, the impact of the front car has slowed them down through the connecting structure, so it’s just some bad luck, and the reaction is not fast enough, grabbing the handle on the top of the car. The man was hit with a broken hand. But the car in front…

The imperfect plan may be stingy in terms of killing numbers, but it has already reached a level that can break through the bottom line of everyone’s spirit – this is a disaster.

…………

Chiba and Shiho were probably the first people in the entire subway to understand what was going on and what they should do.

“Okay, now…” Chiyu clasped her body like an octopus on several solid subway railings in a very stretched position. After realizing that the subway seemed to have stopped moving, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Shiho, let’s get out of here!”

He looked so ridiculous, naturally, for the sake of Shiho, who was protected by him in his arms. In such a sudden situation, his response with the auxiliary unit is far more calm than that of Shiho, whose reaction speed is a beat slower, so he must focus his energy on the opponent.

“This…how did it explode so powerfully?” Shiho, who broke free from Chiyu’s restraint~www.mtlnovel.com~ seemed to be a little dazed by the bomb, shook his head, as if he was still at the stage of distinguishing up and down, left and right. . “I seem a little dizzy, can you take me with you?”

“No problem, follow me.” Qianyu removed a window-breaking hammer from the bulkhead next to her. “This door has been deformed, and it is impossible to open it. We broke the window and went out – oh, no need.”

Qianyu looked at the big hole on the other side of the carriage, which had already appeared due to the impact, and shook her head in disbelief. “Shiho, let’s just crawl out of this hole.”

Just as they were about to crawl out of the hole, a moan suddenly sounded not far away.

It was a woman, and her luck did not seem to be very good – a handrail that should have been straight bent during the impact, and together with the also deformed carriage, her head was stuck in the gap, which caused her to use A somewhat comical pose stood still. Perhaps due to being scratched by a sharp object, there was a little blood flowing from her head.

“Uh—-“

“Should we help her?” Shibao showed an unbearable expression. “If you have a traceless umbrella, the two of us should be able to help her…”

“Hey, lady over there,” Chiyu didn’t spend much time making a decision, and called out to the woman directly. “can you hear me?”

“Uh…” This time, Qianyu looked directly at her, so she could see her reaction – her eyes were dull and motionless. It’s just like breathing a single meaningless syllable out of my throat again.

Is this a response to him? Probably not.

“Let’s go,” Qianyu sighed, showing her will not to stay here. “She… we can’t take it out.”
