Not to say it happens everywhere, but at least it happens in the more key areas.
However, in reality, yesterday's Siren attack was only one of the few in the entire Y area!
"This situation is not without precedent," the branch director said with a gentle smile. "Even in safe waters, there's a possibility of a large-scale Sirens appearing."
"I know this." Huang Chen nodded when he heard this. This is a key knowledge in the college textbooks.
Huang Chen no longer remembers the specific details, but the general meaning is that even in safe waters, there is a possibility that a large number of sirens will suddenly appear.
After all, the Siren itself carries some mystical meaning. It doesn't mean that a safe sea area is necessarily safe. Otherwise, why would a safe sea area need a commander and a port area?
Huang Chen touched his chin, looked at Shen Tong beside him, and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
The blue-haired girl narrowed her eyes slightly, took out a folding fan from her bosom, and suddenly opened it to cover half of her face.
"I'd like to ask, when was the last time such a large number of sirens appeared in the waters near Haihua City?"
The branch director was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, a look of hesitation appeared on his face. "Well... actually, I'm not too sure. At least, it hasn't happened in the five years I've been in office."
"I understand." Shentong nodded and smiled gently, "Do small-scale Siren incidents like these happen often? Or are they rare?"
If the previous question had troubled her, then this question was completely within her capabilities.
She pondered for a moment before quickly saying, "It rarely happens. In fact, the last Siren incident was three months ago."
Hearing this, Shentong suddenly looked thoughtful, then nodded and said with a smile, "I don't have any questions anymore."
Huang Chen gave the girl a strange look, puzzled, but he didn't rush to say anything. He just smiled and nodded to the branch manager, "That's it, then. Thank you for your hard work in replenishing supplies and repairing the Chengfeng."
A rather brilliant smile suddenly appeared on the branch director's face. "What are you talking about? I should be the one thanking you."
As a ship girl, and having reached the position of branch manager, she is somewhat sensible.
Although the operation had ended when the branch's military police and combat team arrived at the Siren Sea yesterday, they could still feel the Siren aura when it broke out.
Their strength is indeed not strong, but their numbers are quite large. Without the help of Huang Chen and others, although it is impossible to cause any harm, the resources consumed in the end will definitely be much greater than they are now.
She pursed her lips and smiled, and continued, "Actually, according to my idea, Commander Huang Chen can rest in Haihua City for a while, and then continue the journey after your yacht is fully repaired."
Huang Chen smiled immediately, but gently refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but we have been out for a long time, so it is not appropriate for us to stay in Haihua any longer."
The branch director nodded when he heard this, with a look of regret on his face, but said nothing more.
Huang Chen left the office with his magical powers.
The two walked down the corridor, out of the office building, and onto the tree-shaded street.
In the middle of the morning, the roadside was always bustling with people coming and going, mostly pedestrians. The two men had nothing to worry about, so they walked slowly towards the pier.
Halfway through, Huang Chen asked curiously, "What did you mean by asking that before?"
"I just want to see the possibility of what happened last night." The girl turned her head, smiled slightly, then walked side by side with him and said slowly.
Huang Chen did not disturb the girl, but just listened to her explanation silently.
"Isn't there a saying that sirens are the sea's malicious intent towards humans? I don't agree with that, but I'm saying that sirens definitely don't appear out of thin air."
"Their birth always consumes something. Let's assume that this consumption is the so-called malice."
"No matter what, the maliciousness in a sea area should be fixed. The so-called safe sea area means that all the maliciousness has been exhausted."
"Although malice will continue to emerge, it won't accumulate too much, so there won't be too many sirens appearing at any one time."
Huang Chen listened to the girl's words slowly, and suddenly he understood something.
He had actually heard that the Sirens were the sea's malicious intent towards humans, but he had never imagined that this was the explanation.
He stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "Sounds like saving money."
At the beginning, when you have a lot of money, you can naturally spend it lavishly and without hesitation, but later when the money is gone, you can only save a little and spend it little by little.
And since I don’t earn much, I don’t get much each time.
But if you save for a long time and take it all out at once, it will be enough to make you look like a wealthy person.
In normal safe sea areas, sirens appear about once a month.
However, I heard from the branch director before that there have been no Siren incidents in the waters near Haihua City for about three months. In a sense, this has indeed accumulated for a long time.
"That's right, so what happened yesterday might have really just been an accident." Shentong said with a smile upon hearing this.
Huang Chen pursed his lips, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly.
The two of them gradually approached the pier. A gentle sea breeze blew, causing the branches of the sidewalk trees to sway. Huang Chen's gaze fell on the Chengfeng from afar.
The staff from the KanColle division have finished the repair work, and from his position, he can almost see the big hole after it was repaired.
He stopped, paused, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Since it was an accident, let's keep going."
Chapter 1051 Frustration
The blue sea is boundless.
The sky and the sea meet together, making it difficult to tell at a glance where the sea is and where the sky is.
However, the coastline that gradually emerged in front became clearer bit by bit.
Lan Island, here we are again.
Huang Chen leaned against the deck railing, feeling the sea breeze constantly brushing against his cheeks, and his mood became increasingly calm.
As expected, nothing happened along the way.
Siren ambush, battle, or some other mess, everything seemed like an illusion, nothing appeared.
Rather, the vast sea and clear sky along the way gave people the feeling that he was on vacation.
However, this trip was not a vacation after all.
In order to prevent the same horrifying incident from happening again, Huang Chen and the girls were extremely vigilant along the way.
The entire process is monitored, and the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carriers maintain 24-hour monitoring in the four directions of front, back, left and right.
Not to mention the Siren, even a seabird cannot escape their sight.
Even if they were unlucky enough to be in the sea where the Sirens were born, like last time, Shinano and others' bombers were ready to send those Sirens back for further training before they were fully born.
It can be said that with the current level of vigilance of Huang Chen and others, there will be no problem even if they sail to the so-called abyss sea.
The level of vigilance among the crowd even made it a bit regrettable that nothing happened along the way.
However, Huang Chen felt that it would be better if nothing happened, just like now, arriving at Lan Island safely.
This was his second time arriving in Lan Island. Although he had been away for less than a week, he still felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.
And for them in Atlanta, this is probably a bit like coming home? After all, they have lived here for a long time.
In any case, when the dock of Lan Island gradually became clear in everyone's eyes, the emotions of everyone on the Chengfeng were quite complicated.
Atlanta and others miss it, New Jersey and others feel it, and Kii and others regret it...
Huang Chen immediately shook his head, shifting his gaze from the group of battle maniacs to Shinano, and said with a smile, "Let's rest here for a day and talk to Washington about the experiment and the situation on the front line."
"I understand." The big white fox nodded gently.
The Chengfeng continued to approach the dock, and the tall stairs gradually became clear. Perhaps because of the recent second-level alert on the front line, there were more supply ships and transport ships docked at the dock.
Unlike the ghost island he saw last time, this time, before they even docked, Huang Chen saw a girl walking out of the workshop on the platform above the stairs.
Soon, Chengfeng arrived at the dock.
Huang Chen got off the boat first, stretched and breathed in the fresh air.
In fact, there is not much difference, but standing firmly on the ground feels a lot more comfortable than on the deck.
The short-haired staff member walked over quickly and smiled when he saw him. "I thought it was a supply ship that arrived, but it turned out to be Major General Huang."
Huang Chen was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and looked at the staff member who was approaching with some surprise, and asked puzzledly, "Do you know me?"
The short-haired girl blinked, then looked a little resentful. "We welcomed Major General Huang last time he came, but I didn't expect he had no memory of him at all."
Chicheng, who got off the boat behind Huang Chen, looked at him silently.
Huang Chen felt a strange chill on his spine and said awkwardly, "Well, I'm sorry, my memory is really not very good."
However, the short-haired girl laughed and said, "Ah, haha, I was just joking. What is Major General Huang doing at the front this time? Are you here to fight?"
"That's about it. Could you please inform your minister?" Huang Chen asked.
His purpose for coming to the front line this time was rather complicated, the kind that couldn't be explained clearly in a short time, so it would be better to go directly to Washington to explain.
Of course, if possible, he would rather find the dean directly to explain.
But at this time, the dean has probably returned to Area C. After all, he is the dean and he still has to stay in the college.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the staff member blinked and said, "Minister, she is not on Lan Island now."
"Washington is not here?" Huang Chen was stunned, feeling a little surprised and confused.
The front line is now at level two alert, and Washington, as the minister and manager, is not on Lan Island.
"Yes. He went to the front line yesterday. Landao is now managed by the deputy minister."
The staff member nodded and said.
Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, a serious look on his face. He said slowly, "He actually went to the front line. Is the situation there so serious?"
Washington, as the minister, was actually required to go to the front line to fight. This situation could be said to be extremely serious.
Huang Chen touched his chin and his expression became serious, and the same was true for Chicheng behind him.
"Ah, no, I didn't go to the front to fight, I just went to the front line. I don't know the details." The staff member was suddenly stunned, and seemed to realize that his words just now were ambiguous, and hurriedly explained.
Huang Chen was immediately puzzled when he heard this. "Not fighting? Is there anything more important than managing the rear base besides fighting?"
The staff member spread his hands when he heard this, a helpless smile on his face, "I don't know either, I'm just a dock watcher."
Huang Chen's eyelids twitched, and he shook his head. He said nothing more and continued to ask, "So what about the dean? Do you know where she is?"
The experiment at that time was presided over by the dean of the college, and Washington also played an important role in it.
Now that Washington can't be found, we can only try to find clues about the dean.
However, after hearing his words, the staff showed a puzzled look, "Dean? What dean?"
"The dean of Nanyang College, don't you know?"
The staff member suddenly looked strange, scratching his head in confusion, wondering, "Why is the dean of Nanyang College here with us?"
Huang Chen was speechless.
He pursed his lips, feeling a little overwhelmed. He had originally set out for the front line with full confidence, ready to figure something out.
But I didn't expect that the journey would be full of setbacks.
Before leaving Haihua, he encountered the Siren.
When they arrived at the front line, they could neither find Washington nor the dean of the academy.
He couldn't help but sigh, and his expectations for this operation dropped to the lowest point.
Chapter 1052 Deputy Minister
At Landao Wharf, the Chengfeng was docked quietly, like any other supply ship.
Most of the girls on the ship went to the island to hang out, while some stayed on the Chengfeng to rest.
As for preparing lunch, of course there is no need to do that. We have finally arrived on the island, so lunch will naturally be eaten in the cafeteria on the island.
Huang Chen, Shentong, Akagi Kaga from New Jersey and others went to Lan Dao's office together.
Although we can't find Washington, let's go look for the deputy minister first.
In fact, at the beginning Huang Chen felt that it would be enough to call Shentong alone, but Chicheng insisted on following, and since Chicheng followed, there was no reason for New Jersey not to follow.
However, although there are times when things seem a bit tense, most of the time, everyone gets along quite harmoniously and there is no tense atmosphere.
A few people walked up the stairs along the path on the island, and saw several shops one after another, and then came to a square.
A smile suddenly appeared on Huang Chen's lips. "This is where Minister Washington called you to attend the welcoming ceremony, right?"
Although it was level two alert, the atmosphere around was not that tense. Huang Chen even saw a few ship girls resting on the benches next to the square.
New Jersey on the side laughed out loud, "Yeah, I never thought that the welcoming ceremony would actually be for Honey."
