Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

At this time, the two had already rushed out of the tree pipe and fell into a huge underground space.

The entire space was illuminated by a large blue ball of light in the middle.

The light they saw in the tree hole also came from this ball.

"I feel like what just happened is a little familiar..."

Before falling, Veneto twisted his body to cushion the impact on his ship girl, but he was knocked dizzy by the fall. He still had time to express his thoughts.

"Admiral! Why did you do that!?"

Vittorio angrily grabbed Veneto's collar and lifted the white-haired loli up.

Veneto swung his little legs in the air, feeling a little curious.

"You are an indispensable fighting force."

Feeling her own shipgirl's anger, she answered nonchalantly.

NO.251 WOCAO

"That's not an excuse for you to come forward. It's the Shipgirl's duty to protect the Admiral. The Admiral just needs to give orders."

Vittorio slowed down his tone, picked up Veneto, and turned him over and over to examine him.

Of course she understood what her admiral meant.

The white-haired admiral blocked non-combat casualties for her, allowing her to maintain her combat effectiveness.

She doesn't need the protection of this poor guy!

"I'm also a ship girl! It's okay at this altitude."

Except for a bit of a pain in the butt.

"I think you are drifting, right?"

Vittorio couldn't help but pinch his admiral's little ear.

"It hurts... Wait, what is this?!"

Veneto quickly reached out and held Vittorio's hand, trying to make him relax a little, but because of her line of sight, she couldn't see Vittorio, but she could see the surrounding environment.

What surprised her was the luminous body in the underground space.

That's a light.

To be precise, it is a signal light used on ships, and it sometimes also serves as a searchlight.

It serves as a communication tool, communicating with other ships by opening and closing the lampshade and flashing the light.

"Huh? Not electricity?"

Vittorio also let go of his hand and looked at the ship's light in surprise.

In the middle of the hemispherical lampshade is a burning blue flame, not a light bulb.

It is basically difficult to see this kind of lamp nowadays, as the flame is too unstable at sea.

But... the light emitted by this flame is so dazzling that it is far beyond that of a normal flame.

The entire underground space was as big as two football fields, but it was all illuminated blue by this small flame.

"Is this not the cemetery of the pigeon people? Could the flames be fueled by something produced by the pigeon people's corpses?"

Vittorio's lips curved slightly as he spoke softly into his admiral's ear.

"Giggle..."

Veneto was so frightened that his teeth clashed with each other in his slightly opened mouth.

"I'm kidding...those pigeon people are all muscle girls, there's no way they have that much fat to burn."

Vittorio's curved mouth flattened.

The scene in her imagination where her admiral jumped into her arms out of fright did not happen.

Baimao was so frightened that he couldn't move at all.

This is so boring.

"Hey, I was just kidding!"

Vittorio waved his hand in front of his admiral's eyes.

But it didn't work.

The white-haired admiral's eyes were still fixed on the lamp, as if he was possessed by a ghost.

“Admiral… Admiral!”

Vittorio panicked and grabbed Veneto's shoulders and shook him.

The latter let the short gray-haired lady shake him, swinging his arms around, but ignored her.

"??"

Vittorio looked back at the traffic light, but there was nothing there, just a blue flame burning quietly.

"Don't scare me, Admiral."

Vittorio's tone softened.

With a cry of "Ah", she felt a sharp pain in the hypothenar of her palm.

When I turned around, I saw the white-haired loli chewing on it.

"Are you scared? If you are, don't scare me anymore! I'm a coward!"

Veneto, who didn't realize that his wrinkled nose didn't look fierce at all, yelled.

"I was wrong! The Admiral is so scary when he gets angry!"

Vittorio lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders as if he was crying.

"It's good to know you're wrong, don't make the same mistake next time."

Veneto nodded with satisfaction and began to observe the scene.

I was just having fun just now, and now I have time to look around.

At times like this, of course you need to make people laugh to relieve tension in this unfamiliar environment.

They were also in the mood to amuse themselves. The reconnaissance plane that just flew over was a Tejas, and their positions had already been discovered by the KanColle clan.

Why be nervous when you have backup?

"Isn't this the battlefield from that year?"

Veneto pointed to a thick iron rod not far away and said.

Vittorio then raised his head expressionlessly and looked in the direction Veneto pointed.

Then she raised her eyebrows and walked over.

The entire iron rod has already been rusted in this underground environment.

You can vaguely see some traces of the bolts, but they have merged with the iron rod due to rust.

"Mast?"

Veneto asked curiously.

"Hard to say."

It's not that there are no iron masts, although when people mention masts, the first thing they think of is mostly the masts of wooden sailing ships.

Originally this name was given to the long, thick wooden stick that supported the sail.

"This iron rod is so rusty...it must have been underground for many years."

Veneto touched the stick; it was damp and cold.

She looked at her hands, which were stained with black rust.

"The underground environment will accelerate rust, but to this extent, it will take at least twenty years?"

Vittorio rubbed his chin and guessed.

"That lamp can burn for twenty years?"

Veneto seemed to remember something and turned to look at the traffic light.

The faint blue light remained, and there seemed to be no change.

"So there must be something wrong here... Do you know what this dark blue looks like?"

Vittorio also looked at the flames and narrowed his eyes.

"Like the deep sea?"

The white-haired admiral remembered something.

"I'm afraid it's..."

Vittorio pursed his lips, turned and walked towards the traffic light.

There seemed to be a slope below the traffic light, and the light was placed on the top of the high slope.

Veneto followed his own ship girl closely, but he saw that the gray-haired ship girl did not climb up the slope directly, but turned her feet at the bottom of the slope and made a semicircle around the slope.

"This……"

Veneto saw half of the ship's wreckage.

That towering mound of earth was actually the broken bridge of a ship.

The entire front was filled with mud, revealing the signal light at the top of the lower half of the bridge.

As for the upper half of the bridge, who knows where it went.

“Is this the wreckage of a battleship?”

Veneto pointed to the incomplete structure and saw some wreckage that looked like a ship.

"should be?"

Vittorio took two glances before he could barely make out the shape of a cannon, and he didn't know if it was just an iron rod of similar shape.

Veneto didn't dwell on the issue of the wreckage any more, but looked around again.

Anyway, it's already so rotten, it can't be saved.

And this look happened to reveal the blind spot that was blocked by the "mound of earth" that I couldn't see just now.

"There's a hole over there."

There was a big hole on the wall not far from the wreckage.

"Hey, Admiral, stop running around!"

Vittorio grabbed Veneto who was about to step over.

"Yes."

The latter then remembered why he had offended his ship girl just now.

She took a few steps back and hid behind Vittorio.

The two slowly approached the cave entrance while also being alert to their surroundings.

Not only was the environment unfamiliar, but I was also stuffed in by some strange pigeon people.

No one knows what's in it. The pigeon people can only make "coo coo coo" and don't speak human language to tell them.

At this point, Veneto also became curious.

The opening is not small and can accommodate the width of two cars side by side.

There was no light inside, it was pitch black.

Relatively speaking, it seems that the 'square' outside is safer.

"There won't be any zongzi in here, will there?"

Someone who originally said that he was timid started to bring up strange topics again.
