Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

SR was stunned: "How is this possible?"

"I also think it's impossible, but..." RP pointed at the ground near the cave entrance, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"The grass and ground nearby show absolutely no signs of anyone having stepped on them. There are only my sister's footprints at the entrance of the cave. It's as if that guy disappeared the moment he walked out. If that guy couldn't fly, perhaps what we just saw was..."

The two sisters looked at each other and suddenly felt a chill.

……

"Then I'll take these."

Under Leipzig's gaze, 16 put a large pile of aluminum into the ship's equipment space. Grandet's eyes were filled with pain, as if 16 was taking away not resources, but her life.

Aluminum has always been the scarcest and most precious of the four resources. For this reason, when the Navy Headquarters distributes supplies to the admirals, the quota of aluminum is also the scarcest of the four resources.

Aluminum is already a scarce resource, and the aircraft carriers in the garrison are equipped with 25 bombers as standard, which consumes a huge amount of aluminum. Every time they are resupplied, the aluminum consumed makes Grandet Leipzig very painful.

Even if the resources in the warehouse did not belong to her.

Although the deep-sea monsters are still in the assembly stage, the sea area near the garrison still needs daily patrols. Today is 16's turn. During the patrol, the patrol fleet discovered several lone high-level deep-sea monsters.

After a fierce battle, the patrol fleet successfully eliminated the monsters. Although no one was injured, 16 carrier-based aircraft suffered some damage. So they applied for supplies from Lexington and only found Leipzig after getting the approval.

"You guys really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you manage the household." Leipzig followed 16 out of the warehouse and muttered while locking the door:

"It's just a routine patrol. There's no need to deploy 25 bombers to deal with a lone deep-sea monster like that, right? Isn't one Destroyer enough?"

"Do you know how much aluminum it takes to replace the loss of a 25mm bomber? You have no idea. You guys who only know how to fight, how can you understand the difficulties we stewards face?"

"How about this? I can secretly replace you with a set of 1 Destroyer. It's enough for daily patrols anyway. As for the 25 you replace, you can leave them with me temporarily. Come back to me when you need them."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything bad with your 25. I'm just keeping it for you temporarily. Don't worry. Don't you still trust me?"

"..." Listening to Leipzig's chatter, a trace of distress flashed across 16's calm little face.

She turned around and saw that Leipzig had already locked the warehouse door. A pair of eyes sparkled in the night, looking at her expectantly.

"How can that be possible?" 16 said helplessly.

"Once the 25 bombers are replaced, replacing them will require a lot of additional aluminum. What should we do with this expenditure? If we exchange them privately, the aluminum balance will definitely not be correct. How will you explain this to Lexington and the Admiral?"

"It's okay. I've been managing the warehouse for so long, can't I solve this little problem?"

Leipzig moved closer, looked around, and seeing that everything was quiet, she felt relieved and said in a low voice:

"As long as we cook the books and write off the extra aluminum consumption, we can rest easy."

16 looked at her in shock. The well-behaved girl had never thought of doing such a thing. "Wouldn't it be a violation of military law if you did this?"

"Haha..." Leipzig chuckled sinisterly. She raised her palm to her lips and said in a low voice, "If we don't get caught, it's not a crime. As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who will know?"

"That's hard to say." A voice came, petrifying Leipzig.

Her whole body was stiff, and her neck was like a rusty machine. She moved slowly towards the direction where the sound came from. A petite figure walked out from behind a big tree not far away.

The moonlight tonight is very bright. The girl under the tree has her hands behind her back, her bangs tied up with a rubber band, and she is taking brisk steps. She seems to be in a good mood.

"What a coincidence, Leipzig," the Kitchen Goddess said with a smile, "I was just looking for you for a midnight snack, but I didn't expect to hear..."

Leipzig's mouth twitched, and he said with a dull expression, "Um, can you pretend you didn't hear what I just said?"

"Eh? This kind of difficult request is a bit..." The female Kitchen Goddess tapped her chin with her index finger, looking like she was excited but unable to make up her mind.

Leipzig gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take care of tonight's supper!"

"Eh? I see, but..."

"And tomorrow night!" Leipzig gritted their teeth.

"but……"

"This week's midnight snack!" Leipzig said with both distress and annoyance, "You bastard, stop it!"

"Since Leipzig sincerely repents, I will accept it reluctantly." The Kitchen Goddess said with a smile.

Leipzig breathed a sigh of relief and was about to shut up the other insider, but when he turned around, he found that 16, who was just by his side, had disappeared.

"When..." Leipzig said in astonishment. It was said that this girl with the same name as Lexington was nicknamed "Blue Ghost", but she moved as silently as a ghost.

"Just when Leipzig bribed me, Xiaoyou had already left on her own." The goddess of the kitchen said:

"But you can rest assured. Xiaoyou doesn't seem like the type to tell tales behind my back, so don't worry."

"Instead of worrying about something that has zero chance of happening, Leipzig should think about where to get their next midnight snack."

That's true. That blue ghost doesn't seem like the type to talk nonsense.

Or perhaps it could be said that among the entire Essex-class, only the Ticonderoga seems to be able to gossip.

Leipzig hesitated for a moment, then put his heart back down: "Well, let's find a place to have a drink."

"Okay, don't forget, it's your treat." The Kitchen Goddess said with a smile.

"I know. You don't need to remind me!" Leipzig glanced at her with resentment. "I will never go back on my word."

The Kitchen Goddess smiled but said nothing. She would never tell Leipzig that she just liked to see the painful expression on his face when he heard that he had to pay the bill.

It's really interesting...

On the way home, 16 held a flashlight in his hand, lighting it, turning it off, and then lighting it again, repeating the process over and over again.

The moonlight tonight is very bright, so there is no need for a flashlight, but 16 didn't bring a flashlight for lighting.

She just likes to play.

Looking around guiltily, 16 saw that the path was quiet and there was no one on the road or beach in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still put away the flashlight.

It’s really unfair that Veneto can celebrate Children’s Day, but Ticonderoga will make fun of me for playing with a flashlight.

The girl thought about it and subconsciously puffed up her cheeks.

At this moment, a slight sound suddenly came from the front. It was as if someone was hiding somewhere, and the sound of his footsteps hitting branches and leaves was made when he moved quietly.

Could it be... Ticonderoga? Was she spying on him again and making fun of him?

16 gritted her teeth, pulled out the flashlight and held it in her hand, then slowed down her pace and walked over slowly.

271. The Integrity of the Deep-Sea Flagship

A girl with short white hair and a cat's tail was hiding behind the bushes beside the road with her sister.

"Sister, do you think what N said is true?" RP snuggled up to her sister, her eyes, which were always half-open and looked listless, opened wide and looked around vigilantly.

As she watched, the girl whispered, "…are they really here? And…have they become that guy's wedding ship?"

"I also find it a little unbelievable, but you saw it just now. There are indeed deep-sea ship girls roaming around nearby." SR's eyes seemed to emit a faint light in the darkness.

"At least on this point, N didn't lie to us, but it's better to be careful and not expose yourself."

Although they were not discovered along the way, it was still very dangerous for them to sneak into the naval base full of ship girls, especially since this naval base was not only known as the strongest in the world, but also had an admiral who was known as the king of evil, making it even more dangerous.

In fact, when seeing those deep-sea ship girls running to the sea for a ride, SR also thought about visiting them openly, but what if N's words were just a scam, wouldn't he and his sister be walking into a tiger's mouth?

So it’s better to find her first and learn some information from her before making a decision. We all come from the deep sea, and even if we have different positions, at least she won’t let us down, right?

With this in mind, SR and RP used the protection of their ship's equipment to dive all the way to the isolated island where the naval base was located, and landed at a secluded beach.

We're running low on fuel. Should we find that guy's resource warehouse first and resupply? If we're discovered, at least we can still resist, instead of having to open the sea valve and sink like in history...

sr thought silently in his heart.

The two sisters walked slowly along the low bushes beside the road, following a familiar scent. Suddenly, SR grabbed his sister, his tail stretched straight behind him, and his cat-like eyes were full of vigilance.

"Don't move, something's happening!" This was the meaning in SR's eyes as he looked at RP.

rp immediately stopped, hugged his sister tightly, and hid behind a tree.

There was a rustling sound, which seemed to be the sound of clothes rubbing against leaves. Light footsteps were slowly approaching from the path beside. The two deep-sea flagships held their breath, their hearts in their throats, and prayed madly in their hearts.

The footsteps stopped on the other side of the tree and did not sound again for a long time. SR waited for a while, looked at the sister in his arms, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart: What is going on now?

If the owner of the footsteps had already discovered them, why didn't he jump out and expose them?

If the other party didn't notice me, then what was he doing now? It was so late, so he couldn't have gone to the shade of a tree to cool off, right?

After a slight hesitation, sr quietly gestured to his sister, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, quietly stuck out half of their faces and looked behind the tree.

"Click." The sound of a button being pressed was heard, and a beam of faint blue light lit up in the darkness. What came into view was an extremely strange, expressionless pale face illuminated by the faint blue light.

A few strands of messy hair hung down, draping over the face, making it look very strange.

"Ghost!" Two shrill screams pierced the silent night sky. The 16 culprits were the first to be hit, and were scared out of their wits.

Before she could react, she saw two figures jump out from behind the tree and run away into the distance like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"..." 16 turned off the flashlight and tilted his head in confusion.

"Do I look scary? But... those two people just now weren't Ticonderogas. They looked like deep-sea ship girls. Um, by the way, it's late now. Have they started to move around?"

Watching the two figures gradually disappearing into the night, 16 felt a little apologetic. After all, it was he who scared others. Why not apologize tomorrow?

And this flashlight...

16 looked at the flashlight in his hand and decided not to play with it at night. It would be bad if he scared people again like this time.
