Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Oh, I see."

Yuudachi nodded repeatedly, as long as it wasn't someone she knew.

"Come."

Black Flying Dragon slowed down, adjusted the position of the ship's equipment runway, and signaled to Yuudachi to board.

Yuudachi blinked, then obediently went to the Black Dragon's side, put away its ship equipment, and sat down in the middle of the runway.

Once Yuudachi was ready, Kurohiryu drew his sword and vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, the two had arrived at another sea area, but...

This sea area is not peaceful. Ship girls are fighting the Sirens on the surface. This time, Black Dragon was not very lucky. It appeared directly in the cabin of a mass-produced ship. The aftershock of the space channel shattered the energy pipes inside the mass-produced ship, and a flash of fire appeared.

boom!

An internally triggered explosion is far more powerful than external artillery fire. This mass-produced ship was blown into several pieces, and even the ship girls fighting nearby were stunned for a moment.

Amidst the flickering flames and smoke, a figure with a grim expression rushed out.

"Are you alright?"

Black Dragon looked down at Yuudachi, a layer of illusory shield-like protection surrounding her.

If it weren't for her quick reflexes, Yuudachi would have been seriously injured at the very least.

"I am fine."

Yuudachi was stunned. She gripped the black dragon's clothes tightly with both hands and took several seconds to answer.

"I never expected this to happen."

Black Flying Dragon coldly surveyed the surroundings. More than a dozen ship girls were engaged in battle with the Sirens. Apart from the mass-produced ship that she had "destroyed," there were thirteen other mass-produced ships retaliating.

Without saying a word, he swung his long sword, and sword energy flashed. The ten mass-produced ship girls who were not in a position to be affected were directly cut in half by the sword energy and turned into balls of fire.

Black Dragon herself began moving towards the designated location, confident that these ship girls could handle the remaining three mass-produced types.

"I was careless. I should try to use tunnels less often in the future."

As it sailed, Black Dragon recalled what had just happened.

She usually travels towards areas without islands, fearing she might suddenly appear in a crevice between rocks. Unexpectedly, this time she directly entered a Siren's body. If she had bumped into a ship girl, it would have been a disaster.

Despite a minor mishap on the way, the two arrived at the location where Shinano disappeared as quickly as possible.

"Is this the place?"

Black Flying Dragon squinted and scanned the surroundings. Everything was normal; there were no spatial fluctuations as he had imagined.

Since there were no problems at sea, Black Dragon directly scanned the seabed and quickly discovered an underwater base, which he then hacked to access the operation logs.

These bases mostly rely on this core data to operate automatically, and it retains information on the recent operation of the base's functions.

"Are there really no conditions or restrictions?"

Black Dragon's eyes flashed with a large amount of data, even digging out how many mass-produced units had recently been transferred from this base.

Soon, she discovered something unusual.

The data within this base showed a 23-hour gap, dating back 14 days, which is the time the fog appeared. The time it disappeared also corresponds to the time the fog dissipated.

"The fog that permeates the seabed, the base that has ceased to function."

Black Dragon narrowed her eyes slightly; her intuition told her that the underwater base was related to the Sirens' fog technology.

It seems the handling of the Siren base really needs to be brought forward.

Chapter 88 Uncontrollable Emotions

To confirm his hypothesis, Black Dragon searched through all the nearby Siren bases and found very similar records, which further solidified his idea of ​​dealing with the Siren bases in the near future.

After a flurry of activity, it was already almost evening before we knew it.

That's all for today.

Looking up at the sky, Black Flying Dragon glanced at Yuudachi, who had been lingering nearby.

She hacked into the sirens and the base in the vicinity, altering some of their operational rules. They can only operate under direct orders from superiors. If nothing unexpected happens, sirens will not be seen roaming around here anytime soon.

By hacking into the Siren base, Black Dragon obtained a lot of intelligence. Among them, the most noteworthy was that these bases were actually transit stations. A certain military factory mass-produced Sirens and then used teleportation channels to send the mass-produced models to the base. Subsequently, the base's functions were used to send the mass-produced models to a location near the sea surface for infiltration.

It's somewhat ironic that humanity has been bogged down in this assembly-line-like tactic for so many years. However, this also proves the importance of intelligence in war. Humanity only had a superficial understanding of the Sirens, but the Sirens knew everything about humanity.

Thinking of this, Black Dragon recalled New Jersey, which had rushed into the Sirens' experimental zone in order to obtain intelligence. This approach was correct. The initial expedition was also an attack launched to obtain Sirens' data, but unfortunately, it was defeated miserably due to insufficient strength, and now it has become something like a formality.

"The next expedition..."

Black Flying Dragon narrowed its eyes and looked up into the depths of the ocean.

At present, it seems that ordinary Sirens are no longer of much use in expeditions. What is needed is a team of ship girls that can rival the Destroyers and are even stronger, such as her plus the top combat power of the Free Port Area, Shinano, and several planned ships.

"Where did Shinano go? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

The thought of Shinano gave Black Flying Dragon a headache.

"Sister Long, it's getting dark."

In the distance, Yuudachi ran back, pointing to the dark clouds approaching in their direction.

"Okay, let's go back."

Feeling the sudden increase in wind, Black Dragon turned and moved towards the port area.

As they moved, Yuudachi followed not far from the Black Dragon, occasionally stealing a glance at it.

"It's too dangerous to move through the tunnel, let's run back slowly."

Black Flying Dragon caught a glimpse of Yuudachi's subtle movement out of the corner of his eye and raised his voice.

"Oh! Sister Long, how about we have a race to see who gets home faster?"

Yuudachi immediately relaxed a lot and quickly moved closer to the black dragon.

"you

Do you want to leave me alone at sea?

Black Flying Dragon looked at Yuudachi with amusement.

It's one thing on land, but asking an aircraft carrier to outrun a destroyer at sea is asking too much.

"Hehe, I'll just run slower."

Xi Li smiled mischievously.

"That's more like it."

Black Flying Dragon spoke with a smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, he darted out, his speed instantly reaching its maximum.

"Ah, Sister Long, you ran away!"

Yuudachi shouted and sped up to catch up with the Black Flying Dragon.

A touch of life has appeared on the calm sea.

……

It was already evening when they returned to the port. After a day away, most of the snow had receded, and the ship girls on guard visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Black Flying Dragon.

Have any sirens approached the port area in the last couple of days?

Black Flying Dragon landed and asked the ship girl who came to greet him.

"No sirens have approached, but Lord Amagi's entourage has returned from the mainland, and it seems they have something to discuss with you."

The ship girl who was asked the question replied.

"Really? Thanks for the reminder. Please be careful while on guard."

Black Flying Dragon smiled, waved, and led Yuudachi away.

"Ama-gi's team, is that Kaohsiung and her group?"

As Hei Feilong walked up the steps of the plaza, he looked up at the direction of the two-story Kaohsiung mansion. Did Tiancheng have another plan for them to come back at this time?

"Sister Long, Sister Long."

Yuudachi, standing nearby, wasn't so preoccupied. She tugged at the hem of Kurohiryu's clothes, her gaze falling on the brightly lit commercial street beside them.

"Oh, I almost forgot, what do you want to eat tonight?"

After being reminded, Black Flying Dragon turned directly towards the commercial street.

"meat!"

Xi Li answered loudly.

"How about barbecue then?"

Black Dragon spread his hands and said.

"Uh-huh!"

Yuudachi nodded repeatedly.

Winter nights are cold, and there aren't many people strolling around the streets. However, many shops that are not open during the day are still open. The most eye-catching one is an izakaya next to Akashi Supermarket, with two lit red lanterns hanging at the entrance. Combined with the warm lighting inside, it looks very cozy.

"Sister Long?"

Yuudachi looked at the black dragon that suddenly walked towards the izakaya with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, I just heard a familiar voice inside, so I came to check."

Black Flying Dragon coughed twice and changed course.

Actually, she really wanted to experience the atmosphere of this kind of pub, but the timing wasn't right today, so she'd have to come back another time.

"Sister Long has met a lot of people here."

Yuudachi hopped two steps to catch up with the black dragon.

"There are quite a lot."
