I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 631 How did we end up at a disadvantage as the fight progressed? (1st update)
The frigate slowly approached like a black mountain, its huge shadow completely enveloping the entire speedboat.

The cold rivets and gun barrels on the steel hull gleamed with a deathly luster under the moonlight, giving one a sense of powerlessness, as insignificant as an ant.

Shinichi Kudo looked up at the sea behemoth, his fingers unconsciously gripping the railing.

His brain raced through all the possibilities, but came to a despairing conclusion—the chance of survival was less than 0.01%.

The thought flashed through my mind, then turned into a deeper sense of powerlessness.

Hattori Heiji fell silent, which was unusual for him.

The Kansai people's innate optimism vanished at this moment. He slid down against the ship's railing, shaking his head with a wry smile: "This isn't a detective novel, it's a war movie! What's the point of fighting here?!"

"They don't even need to fire a cannon, they can just ram us and we're done for!"

“Sigh…” As a police officer, Miwako Sato was even more aware of the absolute suppression of such military power.

She was speechless, her heart filled with despair.

Just as the atmosphere of despair was about to engulf the three of them, Shiraishi E suddenly chuckled: "Giving up already?"

Shinichi raised his head, his voice hoarse: "It's not that we're cowards, it's just that we really have no other choice."

Heiji said helplessly, "Yeah... we don't even have guns, how are we supposed to fight?"

Sato Miwako felt a little regretful and said, "I ran too fast before and forgot to take my weapon... Now I don't even have a chance to fight back."

"Who said there are no weapons?" Shiraishi E kicked open the canvas under the seat with her toe, revealing three dark green weapon cases.

The striking white skull logo on the lid stunned everyone.

Heiji lunged forward and opened the box, gasping in shock: "The RPG-7 has so many doors? Good thing they didn't have a chance to take it out!"

Miwako Sato quickly checked another box, her voice trembling with excitement: "There's still ammunition! Now we have a chance to fight back!"

Shinichi rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "How come I didn't notice these boxes at all?"

Shiraishi E chuckled softly.

I just bought these from the bandit shop and put them there. It would be strange if you noticed them beforehand.

He said, "You didn't notice it because your attention was all on that warship."

"With these things, we should be able to fight this big guy, right?"

"Of course!" Heiji's fighting spirit was rekindled, and he set up his M249 light machine gun.

Although his right arm was still bleeding, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit: "Let these bastards taste the spirit of Osaka!"

"It's better than waiting to die here!!" Sato Miwako looked at the rocket launcher and decided to give it a shot.

Shinichi snatched the rocket launcher from Heiji and said speechlessly, "You're injured, what's the point of using a rocket launcher? If you keep firing, your wound will reopen and you'll bleed to death!"

"At a point like this, who cares about bleeding?" Heiji was speechless: "Let's talk about that after we survive!!"

As he spoke, he picked up a rocket launcher, braced it against his uninjured arm, and said, "This should be fine, right?"

Seeing that Heiji was so insistent, Shinichi didn't say anything.

He turned to look at Shiraishi E and asked, "Shiraishi, what are your plans?"

Shiraishi Eishi said, "The plan is simple. I'll steer the warship away from the artillery fire, and you guys take this opportunity to destroy their turrets and machine guns!"

"Also, listen carefully to my commands and be ready to jump ship at any time!"

Shinichi and the others nodded repeatedly, indicating that they understood.

----------

Inside the frigate's combat compartment, the air seemed to freeze.

Hiroshi Tsuchio stared intently at the speedboat weaving through the inferno on the monitor screen, his eyes bloodshot with shock.

His fingers twitched unconsciously, and his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

"This...this is impossible!" he finally managed to squeeze out the words through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper. "How could they possibly survive a missile bombardment? This is impossible! I don't remember our warships being that fast!!"

Hakuba Saguru frowned, even gripping his chin so tightly that it turned red. His eyes were filled with disbelief: "According to calculations, the shockwave from the missile explosion should have completely covered their area. Unless..."

He suddenly realized something: "Unless they predicted the blast radius in advance and found the perfect cover."

Sera Masumi scratched her head frantically, turning her hair into a bird's nest: "This is impossible, right? How could he possibly predict it? No normal person could predict it."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki's admiration for Shiraishi E grew even stronger, and she said, "But that's the truth... They not only killed those mercenaries, but also escaped the missile strike."

These words caused Tsuchio Hiroki's face to turn from deathly pale to ashen, and finally to a purplish-red like a pig's liver.

He slammed his fist on the control panel and roared, "You fucking escape artist! As tough as a cockroach! Since you've come to our doorstep, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

He roared into the communicator: "All units, take note! Activate all close-in weapon systems! 30mm cannons, prepare!"

"The rest of the bodyguards, get on deck and use anti-materiel rifles! I want to see that speedboat riddled with holes!"

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the control room.

Technicians frantically operated the control panel, issuing commands rapidly.

"Close-in weapon system activated"

"30mm autocannon fully charged"

"The bodyguard team is heading to the firing position."

"........."

However, just as the frigate's firepower system was about to unleash its power, the situation shown on the monitoring screen once again surprised everyone.

On the speedboat, Shiraishi suddenly raised her right hand and made a peculiar gesture.

The other three immediately took action, simultaneously targeting the frigate's firing positions.

"boom!"

Three rockets traced three graceful arcs in the air before accurately hitting the 30mm gun turret on the bow of the ship. In the flash of the explosion, the turret's wreckage could be seen flying everywhere.

Tsuchio Hiroki stared at the damaged firing positions on the monitor for a few seconds, then burst into a furious laugh: "Fine! Very well! I haven't even made a move yet, and you've already come knocking on my door?"

His laughter abruptly stopped, and his face contorted with rage as he grabbed the communicator: "Attention everyone! Sink that speedboat at all costs!"

"Quickly use torpedoes to blow them to smithereens!!"

"Understood!!" The other men in black didn't dare to say anything more.

Before, if they weren't the ones suffering, they would at least say a few words.

They're attacking us right now. If they sink this frigate, we're doomed!

At this moment, Hakuba Saguru, Sera Masumi, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki all sensed that the situation was not good.

How did we end up at a disadvantage as the game progressed?
There were only four of them!

No, we can't just keep waiting like this.

If we wait any longer, we might end up dying along with these idiots.

Thinking of this, Hakuba Saguru glanced at Sera Masumi and Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

The three of them started frantically exchanging glances.

But simply exchanging glances wasn't enough to communicate, so they started secretly communicating using Morse code.

Something's wrong, should we run?

Run! You absolutely must run! If you don't run now, staying here will only mean certain death.

【Let's take advantage of the chaos and run!】
