Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

Even so, it took several days to get here.

This is enough to show how far Deep Sea Yamato's route has deviated.

Gwen didn't know what to say to Deep Sea Yamato, because all her energy at that moment was used to hold down the large Husky next to her who was about to rush out at any time.

The good guy was like seeing a big bone with meat on it, and wanted to rush to the city immediately.

"First of all! Don't move around! Don't kidnap anyone! We have to keep a low profile. And humans can't survive in the deep sea. They will go crazy."

Veneto struggled to hold down Fukukai Yamato and turned her head over so that she was facing him.

"Why are you going crazy?"

Yamato's face was held in Veneto's hands, and it was puffy, but it did not prevent her from speaking in a muffled voice.

She was also thinking of kidnapping another human chef and bringing him back to the deep sea camp.

Then Veneto could be liberated.

"Low-level deep sea creatures are full of negative emotions, and humans are not shipgirls. Of course they will go crazy if they watch them for too long."

Veneto stared into Yamato's eyes and continued, "Anyway, don't be so excited. Act normal."

“Am I excited?”

Fukayama Yamato touched her face, but she didn't feel anything wrong with her.

"look by youself."

Veneto was too lazy to tell her, and directly took out the mirror from the ship's space and placed it in front of Deep Sea Yamato.

"Oh, it's a little... not right."

Fukamiya Yamato saw that the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, and he was obviously in a happy state.

"Just imagine that what you are about to see is only the island of Harbor Qiji, and the city is full of low-level deep sea."

Veneto switched concepts, hoping that Deep Sea Yamato could recover.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine."

Fukamiya rubbed his face and looked like he was back to normal.

It was just restless fingers moving constantly, with fists opening and clenching.

"Anyway, follow me and don't talk, understand?"

Veneto was indeed a little worried. This guy was clearly not in a normal state of mind.

Although she also understood that Fukayama was excited that his long-cherished wish was about to come true...

But now their positions are completely different from those of the group of people in the city not far away.

Going in with emotion will only cause you to suffer.

But now that he's here, it would be a worry for Deep Sea Yamato if he doesn't go in and take a look.

Then it will be Veneto who will be tortured.

After much deliberation, Veneto took the lead and walked towards the city.

"I'll do as you say. I'll do as you say."

Fukamiya followed closely behind, and anyone next to her could feel her cheerful mood.

This 'coastal city' is not built on the seaside in the traditional sense.

Perhaps the harm caused by the deep sea was too serious, so people moved the city several kilometers inland.

Some fishermen who still fish take on the task of moving longer distances every day.

But compared to the possibility of houses being flattened by the deep sea at any time, just walking a little further away every day is not a big deal.

Veneto suddenly realized that perhaps it was the right choice for her and Fukukai Yamato to go ashore from another place.

No one would realize that the deep sea would approach the city from the land.

In most people’s impressions, the deep sea appears directly from the sea surface, then bombards the city, goes ashore to destroy houses, and finally runs away quickly.

Some would also fire cannonballs at the ship girls to the death, basically flattening the surrounding houses, and then being executed by the ship girls' cannonballs.

The deep sea would never come ashore early and then go around behind the city.

Otherwise, the city would not have retreated just a few kilometers, but would have shrunk directly inland.

Veneto and Fukayama walked out of the woods along the badly damaged asphalt road, with some gaps and craters overgrown with weeds.

Between the woods and the city is a vast field where vegetables and grain crops are grown.

To their right is the sea, where there are more vegetables.

But people like them and the other two places that are not facing the sea have more food.

This is also a typical deep-sea response method.

Because there are deep seas in the direction of the sea, vegetables, which are less important than food, are planted in that direction.

Even if we occasionally encounter deep-sea attacks, losing some vegetables is better than losing food.

The city, which originally looked very good and was quite far away, gradually revealed its true appearance as Veneto and Deep Sea Yamato approached.

Numerous bullet and shell craters dot the city's outer walls.

Yes, this 'coastal city' has an outer wall.

Just like in ancient times, except that the material is concrete mixed with steel plates.

After all, what we need to defend against are artillery shells, not siege vehicles.

Moreover, compared with the relatively "soft" vehicle-mounted weapons, they are harder ship-borne weapons.

Beyond the city wall, there are bullet holes on the walls of the taller concrete buildings in the city from time to time.

And it is obvious that the upper half of the high-rise buildings is often gone, leaving only uneven steel bars and broken concrete.

Apparently people are too lazy to repair the upper parts of these tall buildings, because even if they are repaired they will just be targets and will be shot into sieves again.

The fallen debris and ruins might even hit the people or flowers and plants below.

It’s better not to repair it and just leave it like this.

There are some buildings on the city wall that look like watchtowers, but at the moment, all their doors and windows are locked, and Veneto cannot see what is inside.

However, the appearance of this city has basically confirmed Veneto's speculation that it is "not in the original time".

As to whether it is "not in the original world", further investigation is needed.

When she was there, the deep sea was still rampant, but because of the ship girls, no human city would become like this.

At least, there wouldn't be such a thing as a steel wall.

At most, it's just a defensive turret.

Just a city wall and the ruins of buildings are enough to prove that the deep sea here still has a great impact on human life.

However, without verifying the 'world', Veneto could only reserve his opinion.

Ren Sai's appearance actually has a significant impact on whether she is in the same world.

She had never heard of such a thing as Rensai before.

If Tuguo is a whole new world, then Rensai might be the specialty of this world.

Veneto pondered in his head as he walked along the road approaching the city.

But soon, her attention shifted to the end of the road.

There is the heavy steel gate of the city.

It was morning, the door was open, and people of all kinds were coming in and out.

However, there were no checkpoints at the city gate like in some costume TV dramas Veneto had seen before.

It's still the same reason. In people's minds, the deep sea will not walk into the gate wisely. They will only open fire and attack from a long distance.

So it doesn’t matter whether you set up checkpoints or not. Anyone who can enter the door is a human being, and there is no need to go through the trouble of screening.

Little did they know that at this moment, there was a deep-sea fish of pure blood, following the crowd with a normal expression, and walking into the steel gate.

NO.338 This ship girl doesn’t play by the rules

"Why is it different from what is written in the book?"

Deep Sea Yamato picked up Veneto and spoke into the ear of the white-haired ship girl.

She looked at the humans around her, and saw many of them had friendly smiles on their faces.

They don't know what Dean Shenhai looks like, they only know what the ship girls who often appear in the city and on the sea look like.

Aren’t they girls like Fukamiya and Veneto who are abnormally beautiful?

"Don't worry about them, just stay normal. Listen carefully, in their eyes, we are now ship girls."

Veneto lowered his voice and communicated with Fukukai Yamato.

"Shipgirl? I don't want to be a ship..."

When Fukayama Yamato heard this, he was shocked!

She is not a weak little girl like the KanColle.

But before she could even start talking, Veneto covered her mouth.

"You don't want to live, but I want to live too. If you really want to dwell on the fact that you don't want to be a ship girl, then please let me go. I'll stay away from you, so that my clothes won't be stained by your blood."

Veneto's words were very impolite.

In fact, ever since she started to act badly, she has never been polite in her words.

Anyway, it was Deep Sea who took the initiative to pull her into the camp.

Then she wouldn't care whether the deep sea creatures heard or couldn't hear what she said.

"Wow! Even if I fight with the KanColle later, I won't be the one bleeding!"

Fukukai Yamato retorted in a low voice, but because his voice was so low, it had no deterrent effect.

"But what I wanted to ask was different. There's also this... city. It's not like this in the book."

Fukayama Yamato pointed diagonally forward.

They had passed through the gate in the steel wall and were inside the walled city.

There seemed to be a road leading to an open space, which could not be seen unless one approached Veneto.

On both sides of the road are awnings made of various rags, and underneath are stalls built with wooden boxes or concrete slabs.

There were all kinds of goods on the stalls, in a mess, including metal cans, nail clippers, pliers and so on.

Some stalls had all sorts of random weapons, both hot and cold.

The stall owners all sat behind their stalls with dull faces, looking lifeless.

The pedestrians on the street had the same expressionless face as the roadside boss.

From this perspective, it is the occasional few people who do not want to reveal their names, with their faces covered or wearing masks, who look more pleasing to the eye.

It was a completely post-apocalyptic scene, similar to the scenes depicted in the video games or novels Veneto had played or read before.

"Nonsense, what you wrote in your book is about the time when you deep sea didn't exist. After you came into being, human cities have been destroyed countless times by low-level deep sea. I'm already surprised that there are such a scale and number of people."

Veneto was not actually surprised, she just lied to emphasize this matter to Fukakai Yamato.

If what she had been guessing was correct, she should be surprised that the human world had not become worse.

"Ah, so that's it."

Fukayama sighed and fell silent.

She frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

Veneto glanced at Fukayama's expression and said, "If you are thinking about something, move to the side and don't block other people's way."

"Oh, alright."

Fukayama Yamato quickly carried Veneto to the side of the road.
