Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 627 Extra: The Mission Begins

"Tight-fitting combat suits, external armor diving equipment, wrist electric shock wires, and leg stimulation devices."

Machiko put on her women's gear, looked at herself through the mirror, and then turned her attention to the box she had brought onto the submarine.

"Adding a bulletproof vest inside will allow you to carry all these props."

There was a knock on the door from outside, but there was no response. Machiko stuffed all her hair into her diving suit, held her helmet and pushed open the door, looking at Vodka and the others who were waiting outside.

"The submarine is approaching the ocean buoy, but you have to swim the last 300 meters on your own."

Vodka took out three pairs of disposable plastic flippers from the bag and pointed at the opening of the shoes. "Just put them on the boots and snap them in place."

"Got it. Go back to the cab and prepare to dock with us."

Machiko snatched the bag from Vodka's hand and threw the intercom headset to Fujiwara and Mizunashi Rena. The three of them walked down the corridor and returned to where the boy came in at the beginning.

"Torpedo launch port."

Normally, when a torpedo enters the launching procedure, air is discharged causing the pressure inside the launching tube to rise. Now, using it as a passage for the three people to leave the submarine is actually very dangerous.

"If someone pulled the launch lever after we entered the launch tube, in just three seconds, I would become part of the sea."

Rena Mizunoshi was very reluctant to go out through the fish launch port. She did not trust the members of the organization and did not want to put her life in the hands of these guys. But when she thought that she was following Machiko, Vermouth probably would not ignore them, so she gritted her teeth and rushed into the launch port first.

"I will wait here until you come back." Vermouth watched Machiko and Fujiwara go in respectively, motioned for the three to put on breathing masks, and immediately closed and locked the door of the launch port.

The launch port was soon filled with water. They looked quietly at the nozzle below. As soon as it opened, the three of them rushed out of the nozzle.

Although they knew they would not die, the feeling of being killed at any time was really unpleasant. The submarine was in extremely cold water, but fortunately the life support system in the combat suit started to work, which slightly protected the body temperature of the three people, so that their hands and feet would not become stiff and they could swim to the ocean buoy.

In the dark night, the originally silent seabed seemed even more terrifying. In front of the three people, an ocean buoy about 500 meters high from top to bottom was quietly rotating in the sea, and near the sea surface, some transparent glass windows could be seen, emitting a faint blue light to the sea outside.

He gestured to the three to swim downstream. The sharp-eyed Fujiwara immediately spotted the mechanical door outside a silver-iron area, so he took the lead and swam towards the mechanical door.

The ocean buoy needs to be regularly inspected for damage at the bottom, so there is a hatch under the sea for designers to go out and inspect. In the action plan, the three people must find the entrance and exit of the ocean buoy underwater and then find a way to open it.

After turning on the light above her head, Machiko, as the leader of the three, was the first to move forward. She found that it was difficult to manually open the mechanical door from the outside for safety reasons, so she knocked on the door with her hand to judge its sturdiness based on the feel.

[He doesn't want to blow this door open...]

The two of them stepped back a little, and suddenly found that Machiko was staring at some fish in the distance, and was getting excited.

[What's wrong with her? What's so good about those fish over there?]
