Daily life with the ship girl

"Report to the flagship, we have an unidentified target 60 nautical miles to our right."

Feiying heard the report and said to his sister:

"Sister, I leave it to you."

"Understood." Falcon nodded, then sent the carrier-based aircraft flying away, and then asked Leipzig:

"What's the general location?"

"We are to the southeast, and the speed is very fast. It seems that their target is the Zhenghang Second Squadron."

"Oh no, it could be a deep-sea destroyer or a deep-sea submarine. Sister, I'll leave the airspace to you. I'll send the kids to take a look."

"I understand." Feiying nodded solemnly when she heard her sister say this.

"Leipzig, you continue to be responsible for reconnaissance and report any situation immediately. Qiuyue, you go to the rear of the team and notify them immediately. The Zhenghang Second Team are all unknown ship girls, and I'm afraid they are in danger." Although Hayabusa is not the flagship, she is actually more like a flagship, but she prefers her sister to be the flagship, and she just assists on the side.

"I understand." Qiuyue nodded.

This time, because they entered the waters of the Thundercloud Islands, each formation increased the distance between each other in order to expand the reconnaissance and search area, but at the same time, they did not anticipate one thing, that is the sea conditions in the waters of the Thundercloud Islands. The closer they traveled to the target area, the more islands and reefs appeared along the way that interfered with radar detection. Also, the closer they got to the center of the Thundercloud Islands, the more interference the electric ions in the high altitude had on carrier-based aircraft.

In order to be able to effectively reinforce all formations, the Royal Ark unknowingly placed itself in the center of the large formation, while the rear was handed over to the Second Zhenghang Squadron.

When Qiuyue arrived at the Zhenghang Second Squadron, she looked at the ship girls in the team and found that they were all nameless ship girls. She reported the matter to the flagship of the Zhenghang Second Squadron and immediately returned to the main camp.

However, some of the anti-submarine torpedo planes of the Falcon Eagle arrived near the Second Aircraft Squadron first and provided escort for the weakest team in the formation.

The other part was transferred by Hayabusa to the sea area mentioned by Leipzig. By the time Hayabusa's carrier-based aircraft arrived at the suspicious sea area, she only had time to sink a few deep-sea destroyers that did not retreat in time.

Before she could catch up, she suddenly heard her sister exclaim:

"Look, there are so many islands."

"How is this possible?" Leipzig looked at the Thundercloud Islands in disbelief as they really appeared in front of her. Their team sailed between the small islands without realizing it. The power of the ocean current seemed to be very strong, allowing them to sail with extremely low fuel consumption.

However, the sudden appearance of the island made Leipzig smell danger. She said to the flagship Eagle in a solemn tone:

"Flagship, you probably haven't heard of the history of the Thunder Cloud Islands in Qiyun Port. Normally, there are no islands in the area where we are. If you don't believe me, you can ask Liangyue to look at the sea chart. The Thunder Cloud Islands marked on it are just an area of ​​sea, but now we can see these islands and reefs. I feel bad."

"That's right, Sister Feiying. The nautical chart only shows the location of the Thundercloud Islands, but there is no clear geographical mark on their exact location."

Liangyue also felt strange. Normally, any small island or reef found would be named, but with so many islands and atolls, it would be reasonable to say that they should be noted on the nautical chart.

When Feiying heard this, he also felt a little uneasy and immediately said:

"Everyone on alert, Leipzig, how big is this archipelago area?"

"The reconnaissance results are in. If we follow this ocean current, we can leave this strange archipelago in about ten minutes."

"Torpedoes, a lot of torpedoes found!" Qiuyue returned to the team. She was watching the other people in the team talking, so she was on guard. Suddenly, she saw several white waves rushing over. She immediately shouted:

"Torpedoes are approaching our rear, to the left and right. There are so many torpedoes. They are deep-sea submarines. Everyone, please avoid them!"

Qiuyue's warning came very timely, and the right fire reinforcement team immediately dispersed.

The first direct confrontation between this defensive battle and the deep sea officially begins from this moment!

Chapter 194: Defense of Qiyun Port [Thirteen]

The torpedoes came so fast that Bismarck's team could only make a temporary evasive move.

However, it was obvious that this pair of deep-sea submarines had chosen the wrong target.

The two sisters, Flying Eagle and Falcon Eagle, were a little flustered at first by the sudden attack, but after they reacted, the Light Mother sisters, who had rich experience in anti-submarine warfare, reacted in what was deliberately called a combat instinct.

Countless anti-submarine torpedo planes began to fly at low altitudes, and then hundreds of anti-sea bombs were dropped.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Countless water columns shot up into the sky, and some deep-sea submarines were blown out by depth-sea bombs. Then Bismarck and others immediately counterattacked.

Countless shells poured down, and these fragile deep-sea submarines were torn to pieces by the hail of bullets.

The crisis was averted, but no one dared to be careless.

"Leipzig, how's it going?"

Falcon frowned. These deep-sea submarines were unexpectedly weak, and she was a little puzzled.

"They were all wiped out. How strange, the intensity of this attack was exceptionally small."

Bismarck felt the same way. She looked around the team and finally found something wrong. Just now, everyone ignored the surrounding environment when dodging the incoming torpedoes. Her face became serious and she said:

"Look, the surrounding environment seems to have changed a lot."

When Leipzig heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the radar and exclaimed:

"These islands and reefs are moving. No, what is shown here is that these islands and reefs are living things!"

The flagship Eagle was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously looked around and finally found that the islands and reefs were indeed moving. Because she was in a high-level evasive state just now, she did not notice it. However, she was still shocked:

"how is this possible?"

When Falcon heard Leipzig say that these islands and reefs were some kind of creatures, a flash of memories of the strange marine creatures she had read flashed through her mind, and she explained to the others:

“It should be some kind of giant creature from the deep sea. The water drops on the vegetation on the islands and reefs should be seawater that has not had time to dry up. Because of yesterday’s heavy rain, I thought it was the rain last night that has not dried up. But if you look carefully, aren’t the vegetation on these islands and reefs all coral reefs? The rocks on the islands and reefs are also very fragile, and there are many fish carcasses of strange shapes?

I think we were so busy on the road that we didn’t notice it.”

"That's right." Qiuyue just happened to push the car to the side of an island reef, and indeed found the same situation that Falcon Eagle described.

"This explains why the Thundercloud Islands are an archipelago that appears and disappears from time to time. Is it because the sea creatures appear at irregular intervals that cause such strange conditions in the Thundercloud Islands?"

Leipzig recalled the descriptions of the Thunder Cloud Islands in the historical records of Qiyun Port. With this association, she could explain it. So she said coldly:

"So there are no such things as the world's top ten unsolved mysteries. It's just that humans are not capable of exploring the vast ocean and their knowledge of some sea creatures is not enough, so they use the unexplainable unsolved mysteries to shirk responsibility."

"Leipzig, it's a bit harsh for you to say that." Bismarck was a little unhappy. After all, didn't Leipzig's map cannon include his own admiral?

"Sorry, sorry, it seems we can't generalize." Leipzig waved her hand and took off her hat, which was wet by the sea water. She smiled apologetically at Bismarck.

Feiying was still a little uncertain, but her sister Falcon nodded at her, giving her confidence. She gave the order:

"Now that we have figured out the truth about these islands and reefs, we can explain why the Deep Sea chose this area as its hiding place. Everyone, change your formation and move forward at high speed. We must report this intelligence to the Royal Ark as soon as possible."

"Understood." Bismarck and others nodded, then shortened the distance between each other. After the team reunited, they began to rush to the exit of the island reef.

Bismarck thought:

Although we don’t know how many such islands and reefs there are, there should be different populations among these creatures. The existence of populations means that there will be boundaries between them.

There is a boundary, that is, the empty sea area between the islands and reefs.

However, Liang Yue, who had been looking at the sea chart, had a question. She asked Leipzig:

"Then what about the ocean currents beneath our feet?"

Falcon Eagle has a wealth of combat experience. After all, she is one of the few people in Qiyun Port who has fought against the Deep Sea Flagship. This is why the Royal Ark invited the two sisters. She explained:

"That's when these island and reef creatures move. The force between them is so great that it affects the water flow. In addition, this group of creatures seems to be controlled by some means and moves around a certain center, so we can feel the existence of ocean currents when we sail through them."

"Manipulation?" Bismarck didn't like this word very much.

"That's right. Or it could be said that the deep sea, through means that we cannot yet understand, has stimulated the creatures that were supposed to be dormant in the deep sea to surface." Falcon nodded at Bismarck, and then said solemnly:

"I've experienced this before, but the deep-sea flagship I encountered was not of a high level. I managed to kill it without any danger, but when I wanted to investigate later, the creatures on the islands and reefs had already returned, so I had to run aground."

"I see." Bismarck nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

"So what you mean is that the deep sea that was able to manipulate such a large group of island and reef creatures this time must be of a very high level?"

Falcon sighed, her tone full of solemnity, she glanced at the lightning flashing in the clouds from time to time, and then said:

"Not very high, it should be the top tier, which means a few of the seven. However, if it is close to the Far East Theater and has something to do with the shocking explosion last night, then it can only be the Deep Sea One Carrier Sisters."

"Deep Sea Battle?" Leipzig and Bismarck were both a little confused.

"That's right. Deep-sea Akagi and Deep-sea Kaga are the more unique ones among the seven deep-sea flagships. They are the deep-sea aircraft carrier sisters. Unlike the other deep-sea flagships who are used to acting and fighting independently, these two always act together."

"Two deep-sea flagships?" Leipzig took a breath of cold air. Moreover, they were top-level deep-sea aircraft carriers. If that was the case, the Deep-Sea that attacked Qiyun Port this time was equivalent to the existence of two legendary ship girls. No, it should be led by an existence that has surpassed the legendary ship girls.

"Yes, I'm afraid the Governor of the Far East must have done something extraordinary this time. The place where the explosion occurred is the core area of ​​the Far East Deep Sea Habitat. He is really an unpleasant guy." Falcon said as he walked, without looking back:

"Or, the Far East Governor was also used by someone. The admirals of Qiyun Port are divided into two factions, the hawks and the doves. You should also know that today is the opening day of the Far East Admiral Academy. They chose yesterday, such a sensitive time, to launch such an action. Sometimes humans are really incomprehensible."

"We can't help it. Sometimes they bind themselves with the rules they make and have noble character, but sometimes they overturn their own rules without hesitation and go back on their words." Leipzig thought of the guy who withheld his admiral's salary and said with deep emotion.

"Sorry for the idle chat. The situation seems not very good." Bismarck smiled bitterly. They had just left the range of the archipelago reef creatures, but found that in front of them were densely populated with deep sea creatures ready for battle. The other teams in the formation were also blocked.

"You guys are finally here, but you're so slow." Emden pushed her glasses as she saw Bismarck's team coming over.

"It looks like things are in trouble now."

Bismarck looked disdainfully at the seemingly endless deep-sea fleets and said coldly:

"Trash fish are trash fish. No matter how many there are, they cannot escape the fate of being eliminated."

Chapter 195: Defense of Qiyun Port [14]

"That's right." Leipzig put on her hat. Although it was a little wet and uncomfortable, wearing a hat was Leipzig's habit. She always had to look like a soldier when fighting. She agreed with the G country's big sister's statement, and then her face fell and she said:

"But there are too many miscellaneous fish, and it will be very tiring to clean them up."

Those unknown ship girls were obviously seeing this kind of scene for the first time. An unknown destroyer girl nearby asked Leipzig in disbelief:

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Why should we be afraid?" Emden pushed her glasses calmly without explaining. She had the pride of a Prussian officer in her bones. In her eyes, these unknown ship girls did not meet the standards of cadets.

Bismarck was not as cold as Emden. She glanced around and found that the eyes of those unknown ship girls were all panic-stricken. She smiled for the first time and said:

"I've been through too much before. In fact, it's always the same when I go to the battlefield for the first time. I still remember the first time I went into the water, when I was given high hopes. At that time, it was still a warship, just like you. But because of people's beliefs, even though it was besieged and sunk later, I was no longer afraid at that time. I just thought that the bloody battle was the end, but I didn't expect to inherit the soul of the warship. Now, I just want to fight for the admiral, and sticking to this belief is enough."

"Belief?" Those nameless ship girls were a little confused. They were not like the ship girls who inherited the soul of the warship and had memories of being a warship. Therefore, they were incomplete in a sense. Since the formation of a ship girl requires several basic elements, the beautiful thoughts of mankind are placed on the warship. The warship must have certain merits (for the country) during its lifetime, eliminate evil, and have self-awareness.

Except for self-awareness and elimination of evil, the nameless ship girls do not possess the first two elements.

Naturally, they could not understand the word "belief", but Bismarck's eyes calmed them down because they could see the determination to win in Bismarck's eyes.

Maybe, this is a natural born leader.

Royal Ark listened to what Bismarck said. Although she wanted to refute, she couldn't say it because she couldn't deny what Bismarck said.

For Royal Ark, recalling the past is indeed painful, but now she has also found her faith. That is, for the commission from thirty years ago and for her best friend to wake up as soon as possible, she must not fail in this battle no matter what!

But Leipzig is much simpler. For her, the meaning of fighting is future and salary.

As for Emden, her wish is to allow Xiao Zhai to grow better. Just like Nuremberg takes care of Bei Zhai, she is confident that she can also train Xiao Zhai to become the second world-famous queen.

Unfortunately, Emden didn't know that Xiao Zhai, whom she had high hopes for, was taken to the game room by an unscrupulous person, which she forbade Xiao Zhai to touch.

……

"Xiao Nuan, are you having fun?"

Li Ran took Xiao Zhai on the patrol ship girl's special car to Qiyun South Street. After having dinner, he took Xiao Zhai for a stroll and unknowingly let Xiao Zhai drag him into the game hall.

After staying there for a while, Li Ran discovered that Xiao Zhai was a game geek. He accompanied her to play almost all games. Fortunately, the game halls in this world were all coin-operated, and there were no games that were too bloody and violent. Most of them were coin-operated games that could hang up puppets.

Li Ran had always wanted to discuss with Xiao Nuan, also known as Xiao Zhai, when he could leave, but seeing that the little girl was still in high spirits, he could only accompany her.

"Happy." Xiao Nuan nodded and continued to shake the joystick.

Li Ran smiled bitterly, looking at the dolls piled on one side with a helpless smile. He said to the staff member who was about to cry:

"terribly sorry."

"It doesn't matter, but we are a small business, you see..."

"Hmph, no more playing. Let's go, uncle. Take all these dolls away. They are my spoils, but I won them with my own ability."

"Okay, okay." Li Ran sighed, and then saw that the waiter was about to cry. He had no choice. After all, Xiao Nuan's mood was the most important. Besides, there were only a few dozen dolls, which was not a lot. He smiled and patted the waiter's shoulder, and then said:

"Please help me pack up these spoils."

The waiter saw that although Li Ran was a little dirty, he still recognized the admiral's uniform, so he could only pack for Li Ran with a sad face.

"It's quite heavy." Li Ran smiled bitterly while carrying a large bag of dolls, and then said:

"Xiao Nuan, these dolls must be sent back to your residence as soon as possible, otherwise uncle won't be able to take you shopping again."

"Well, okay." Xiao Zhai pouted, looking at Li Ran who was carrying so many things and was still covered in dust from running away with her, she could only nod sensibly.
