While everyone was discussing countermeasures, Keith opened the door and entered the conference room.
Keith's hands were already bandaged, and he held a map under his arm and placed it on the table.
"This is a map of the quarry, which was redrawn by Her Majesty the Queen during her lifetime..."
As Qisi spoke, he tried to unfold the map with his own hands, but the cuts on his hands made it difficult for him to complete this small task.
At this time, Kudo Yusaku and Qin Zhibo took action at the same time and took over the map.
"Let's do it."
The two unfolded the map and pinned it to the information exchange board with thumbtacks.
On the unfolded map, the edge of the area is a green space representing a green forest, and 80% of the area in the center is composed of a huge gray circle.
There are marked areas for campsites, vehicle parking areas, material warehouses, mine locations, etc.
Qin Zhibo took a quick glance and found that this was basically consistent with the results of his on-site inspection.
Kudo Yusaku, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully examined the regular circles on the map.
After so many years, there are still no plants growing...
Keith stood beside the map and began to explain to everyone.
"There is an integrated company of 120 troops stationed in the quarry, plus technical personnel from other operating units, a total of 160 people."
"Currently, we have completely lost contact with the ore field. According to prisoner Kilad's confession, the ore field has been completely given over to alien races, including everyone there..."
"It will be very difficult to rescue the hostages."
Keith is still not used to saying "Mi·G" and uses "alien race" to refer to it.
"It's not necessary."
At this time, Qin Zhibo stood next to the map and said seriously: "According to the results of my previous on-site survey, I am afraid that all the soldiers and technicians stationed there are dead."
"Dead?" Everyone was shocked.
"Yes." Qin Zhibo nodded heavily, "Actually, the reason why I chose to cooperate with you this time is because I discovered that the ore field has been fully occupied, and the soldiers have also been made into biochemicals discovered in the palace incident.
I."
"Although I didn't see those Mi-Gos with my own eyes, I checked a military camp tent. Based on the number of biochemical dolls on site, I'm afraid there will be no less than twenty of them."
"Of course, this is just the most ideal situation, because I haven't had time to check other camps yet..."
Qin Zhibo's words made everyone take a breath of cold air, and the expressions on their faces instantly became serious.
Especially Lupine the Third and Daisuke Jigen. The two of them personally went to the ore field to steal the Vespagna ore the day before Princess Mira returned home.
Although they successfully stole the ore that day, they were severely attacked by the troops stationed there.
Lupine the Third's favorite car, the Mercedes-Benz SSK, died gloriously in the fierce fire.
They were elite troops equipped with all kinds of beautiful and heavy weapons, and they were all eliminated so quietly?
These people present are all more or less "odd people" and "living legends" among humans to a certain extent.
Lupine III - grandson of Arsene Robin.
Ishikawa Goemon - the thirteenth grandson of Ishikawa Goemon, the Japanese warring states thief.
Daisuke Jigen - a professional gunman with abilities comparable to "Dead Shot".
Koichi Zenagata - Interpol, the seventh generation of Edo detective Heiji Zenagata.
Fujiko Mine - an internationally renowned "bus" brand.
Conan, "Conan" - a former Japanese high school detective and pioneer of human shrinkage experiments (forced).
Kogoro Mori - now a famous Japanese detective, the sleeping version of Kogoro.
Yusaku Kudo - famous best-selling author, archaeologist, and legendary investigator of this world.
Mao Lilan - National High School Karate Kanto Competition Champion
Qin Zhibo——former world legendary investigator
This lineup feels quite like the team of super-powered heroes in the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
But from an objective analysis, these people together can perform most of the tasks in this world, except that it is impossible to expel alien races.
And the number of aliens may be comparable to that of a small army.
Although Ishikawa Goemon can fight one against three, or even more, humans have their limits after all.
Unless you stop being a human being...
Qin Zhibo thought of the sprayer in the original world. The poisonous gas in it could kill Mi Ge quickly and the effect was excellent.
But there may not even be a King in Yellow in this world, let alone a "Yellow Monastery".
The sprayer and the poisonous gas that can kill Mi Ge were developed by the Yellow Cloth Monastery.
This formula is in the hands of Dr. Ali in the original world, but the problem is that he cannot return to the original world now.
If you want to develop it again, it will probably take several years, or even decades.
By that time, all the ore in the ore field will probably have been mined. After all, the size of the MiG dispatched this time is unprecedented.
Just when everyone was thinking, the door opened and Princess Mira walked in.
"We Vespania will send troops."
"In order to avenge our mother and brother, we, Vespania, will assist you in your actions at all costs!"
The arrival of Princess Mila gave everyone hope.
If it were just them, it would be really difficult to conquer the ore farm dungeon.
But if you add Vespagna's army, the situation will be reversed immediately.
…
Next, Chis sorted out the troops that could be mobilized in Vespania.
The Kingdom of Vespagna has a total of 4 brigades, each with 5,000 troops, totaling 20,000 troops.
However, depending on the size of the ore field, only 2,000 people are actually needed to completely surround the ore field and launch a tidal-like crushing attack on the ore field area.
It's just that the country's central power figures have experienced many changes recently, and it will take several days for Princess Mila to completely take control of the country.
According to the constitution, only after she is officially crowned as queen can she have the power to mobilize the army.
In other words, it will take a few days before the operation officially begins.
During this period, everyone rejected Chis's warm invitation and did not stay in the palace, but looked for another place to live in the capital.
It was bright and clear, and the shadows of everyone stretched out in front of the palace gate.
"Just kidding~"
"The palace is full of bad memories, how can I live there again?"
Lupine the Third put his hands behind his head and casually expressed everyone's thoughts.
After the events of these two days, everyone now has a grudge against the Vespagna Palace.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. The next step is to decide where to live.
Koichi Zenagata stood firmly next to Lupine III, looked at Kudo Yusaku and said: "Mr. Kudo, although I called you here, due to my responsibilities, I must strictly follow this guy from now on...
…”
Kudo Yusaku nodded in understanding, but Lupine III was dissatisfied.
"Uncle, didn't you tell me to put aside the matter of 'capturing me' for the time being before this matter is over?"
Koichi Qiangata nodded with a dull expression, but then a smirk emerged from the corner of his mouth, "Who knows if you will leave suddenly during this period?"
Lupine III curled his lips, "No way..."
What Lupine the Third said was true to his heart, there is nothing more romantic than giving the body of a beloved woman his own.
At this time, Qin Zhibo also pulled Conan and stood with Lupine III.
"We, father and son, are also coming here. I have some questions that I need to ask Mr. Ishikawa Goemon..."
"Me?" Ishikawa Goemon opened one eye with his eyes closed and asked in confusion.
When Kudo Yusaku saw where Qin Zhibo was going to live, he was a little confused and wanted to ask him for advice.
"Then I'll go there too..."
"Conan" saw that his father was about to follow him, so he quickly grabbed Mao Lilan's hand and said, "Sister Xiaolan, let's go live there too, okay?"
Mao Lilan, who looked like Fujiko Mine, looked down at Conan, then looked up at Kudo Yusaku who was standing opposite, and suddenly remembered that Yukiko once said that Conan and the Kudo family were related.
"I remembered!"
"Conan is the grandson of Mrs. Kudo's grandfather's brother's daughter's cousin's uncle, isn't he?"
"Then Conan and Mr. Kudo are also related!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard about this complicated and dense relationship.
Daisuke Jigen: How can this girl remember such a complicated relationship?
Lupine the Third, Fujiko Mine: Not a son?
Kudo Yusaku: How come I haven’t heard of it...
Qin Zhibo, Conan:......
Only Koichi Zenagata was an honest man and he directly raised his fingers to count the seniority of the two of them.
"My grandfather is two generations older, my brother remains the same, my daughter is one generation younger, my cousin remains the same, my uncle is one generation older, and my grandson is two generations younger..."
"If you calculate it this way, this kid is one generation older than you, Xiaolan?"
Qian Xing did some calculations and figured out this intricate relationship.
Hearing this, Conan and "Conan" were stunned at the same time.
Only then did Conan understand why his mother always minded him calling her aunt?
Because according to the seniority relationship that her mother told Xiaolan, she and her are equals, so he should call Yukiko "sister".
It turns out that I misunderstood Yukiko. My mother didn’t want to pretend to be naive, but that’s how the script was arranged.
Conan: As expected of an actress, her ability to adapt to situations is amazing!
"Conan" here was so anxious that he quickly winked at his father. Kudo Yusaku also understood instantly and quickly grabbed Kouichi Zenagata.
"Haha~ We are all acquaintances, there is no need to tell them clearly!"
"Yes, Conan is indeed a distant relative of my family~"
Kudo Yusaku looked at Mao Lilan again and quickly lied, thus not arousing Mao Lilan's suspicion.
Moreover, Mao Lilan also took the initiative to persuade Mao Li Kogoro that Conan was finally reunited with his relatives, so everyone should live together.
In this way, everyone must follow Lupine III to his secret stronghold.
Lupine the Third looked at the large group of people who had gathered up behind him for no apparent reason, and couldn't help but touch his forehead in distress.
…
When we arrived at Lupine's secret base, it was actually a rented apartment.
Of course, one room was not enough for everyone, so after contacting the landlord, other people rented a few more rooms.
Lupine III, Daisuke Jigen, and Goemon Ishikawa live in a room in a secret stronghold.
Koichi Zenagata wanted to live in the same room as Lupine III, but he was refused due to reasons such as the room was full and Zenegata was a male, so he had to choose the apartment next door to Lupine III.
In order to explain how to use each other's bodies, Fujiko Mine and Mao Lilan chose to live in the same room.
Kudo Yusaku, Mouri Kogoro, and Conan live in the same room.
Qin Zhibo and his son lived in one room.
Everyone entered the room, washed briefly, said good night to each other, and then fell asleep.
…
After a whole night of tossing last night, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon when people started to get up in several rooms.
Qin Zhibo sat up from the bed, opened the curtains, and Hexi's sunlight shone on the streets where people were running around.
The turbulent crowd seemed to be discussing something fiercely. Qin Zhibo guessed that it was a coup in the palace.
Kirad's rebellion and Princess Mira's upcoming succession should have been announced to the public in advance.
However, regarding the content of the alien race, based on the discussion last night, it was decided not to announce it to the outside world for the time being.
Because this kind of thing has a huge impact on both the people of the country and the entire world, especially the impact on the world line.
When a butterfly flaps its wings, a hurricane may blow up somewhere unknown.
The current changes to the world line must be countless times greater than the flapping of a butterfly's wings.
But things have developed to this point, and we can only take one step at a time...
Qin Zhibo was standing by the window, thinking to himself, when suddenly there was a slow knock on the door behind him.
Dude, Dude.
Knocking twice on the door meant that an acquaintance was looking for him. Qin Zhibo guessed that it was someone from another room.
I walked over and took a look at the peephole, and found Yusaku Kudo standing outside the door.
What are you doing to come to me at this time?
Qin Zhibo was about to reach out to twist the door handle, but suddenly his palm stopped, and he quickly turned around and covered Conan's sleeping face with a quilt, and also put on a golden mask on himself.
This would be troublesome if his or Conan's identity were seen!
After doing this, Qin Zhibo opened the door.
"Mr. Qin, have you just woken up?"
Although Kudo Yusaku asked this question, he quickly looked at Qin Zhibo's somewhat messy clothes and pants, as well as the unfolded quilt in the room, and actually already knew the answer in his heart.
"Yeah..." Qin Zhibo scratched his head, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"
Kudo Yusaku nodded, "Yes, if you don't mind, can we go to the rooftop to have a talk?"
Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and agreed: "No problem."
He went back to the room, picked up the room key on the bedside table, locked the door before going out, and then walked to the rooftop with Yusaku Kudo.
Kudo Yusaku looked at Qin Zhibo's cautious look and moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The two of them walked towards the steps to the rooftop for less than a minute. As expected, "Conan", who was a room apart, slipped out of the room quietly, came to Qin Zhibo's room, and reached out to twist the door handle.
