"Well, Hongliang, can you help lead the way? The commander just came here." Tallin smiled, waved his hand, and slowly walked towards the office.

Hong Liang nodded immediately, as if he couldn't wait any longer and said, "I know, I know."

Then he walked towards the aisle.

Huang Chen followed behind the little guy.

When I came outside the building, the cold air suddenly hit me. The snow slowly piled up on the paths on both sides. Even under my feet, which had been groomed, there was a thin layer of ice.

Huang Chen exhaled a breath of hot air, looked at the white mist rising in front of him, and then saw the little guy jumping in front of him through the white mist. Suddenly, he asked softly, "Have we had any conflicts with the KanColle Headquarters before?"

"Ah." Hong Liang turned his head, his face looked a little flustered, his little hands waving aimlessly in the air, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Huang Chen felt a little funny and couldn't help but stepped forward to rub the little guy's head and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's really hard to say, forget it."

Hearing this, a look of relief suddenly appeared on Hongliang's face, but soon turned into embarrassment.

After hesitating for a moment, Ai Ai explained hesitantly, "Well, this isn't something I have to hide from the commander, but I don't know much either."

"It's just... similar to what the Commander thought. There used to be some conflicts within the Shipgirls Headquarters, or more accurately, between the Shipgirls Directors, but I don't know the specific reasons."

Huang Chen nodded as he listened, then asked curiously, "Is it about the relocation of the headquarters?"

"Ah, well, I remember that it was after that that Sister Bellarose and the others started preparing to open a winery." Hong Liang nodded and said.

Huang Chen had no expression and didn't say anything. He just reached out and touched the little guy's head, then looked around.

Hong Liang was a little confused, but when he saw that the commander had no intention of continuing the topic, he became quite excited and jumped forward.

After leaving the office building, the road outside seemed very empty and cold.

This place is very remote in terms of its location. Maybe it was okay when it was the headquarters of the ship girls, but now it has become completely deserted.

Even if the girls from Northern Union set up a winery there, it would be difficult to make the place lively.

After all, the Kancolle factory does not need too many workers. In fact, Huang Chen even suspected that this so-called old winery had no workers at all.

Soon, the two came to an equally solid building.

After passing through the heavy door, an unexpectedly wide open space suddenly appeared, which turned out to be a large auditorium-like space.

Warm air filled the air. Hong Liang had already taken off his hat and excitedly introduced the place, "This is where everyone lives. It used to be an auditorium, but now it's probably like a small playground."

Huang Chen nodded, but his eyes fell on the two girls who were chatting not far away.

The girl on the left has purple hair that is so long that it almost reaches her ankles. She looks quite petite, with a little baby fat on her round face.

The girl on the right seems a little silent, with her silver hair tied into two ponytails, looking lively and cute.

But her thick bangs covered her left eye, and the high collar covered the lower half of her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

She listened silently to the purple-haired girl's words, nodding from time to time to show that she was listening carefully.

Tashkent, and Kyiv.

Huang Chen showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect to be so lucky. He saw two people as soon as he came over.

Hong Liang was already waving his hands excitedly, "Comrade Tashkent, Comrade Kiev, look who's coming!"

Chapter 1139 Tashkent and Kiev

The huge arched glass brings in bright sunlight, making the auditorium or small playground appear quite bright.

The entire hall is connected to heating. Although the climate is not as good as that in Area C or even Area Y, it is warm enough that you don't need to wear too thick clothes.

A loud and excited voice echoed in the hall.

The girl next to the white imitation stone wall pillar turned her head at the sound and immediately revealed a look of surprise, "Commander... Comrade!"

Kiev was the same. A hint of obvious surprise flashed across his seemingly expressionless eyes. He said happily, "Commander, I'm a little surprised. How could you suddenly appear here?"

Huang Chen grinned and walked forward to explain, "Because of some things, I had to come to Area S, and I just happened to come to find you."

"Is that so?" Tashkent tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Comrade, did you just get here? Coming from Area C alone? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Kiev looked over nervously and whispered, "Commander, go to your room and rest for a while. Lunch isn't ready yet, but Sister Volga has some snacks."

Huang Chen was stunned when he heard this, then waved his hands with a puzzled look, saying, "No, I'm not hungry, and I don't need to rest. I didn't come here alone. I just saw Tarin, Voroshilov and the others."

He briefly explained what had just happened.

Tashkent was inexplicably disappointed at first, but soon laughed again and said, "Then let's take Comrade to see everyone. Hmm, who should we go see first? What do you think of Kiev?"

"As for me, I don't know either." Kiev shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Huang Chen waved his hand to help the little guy out, "Just wander around here, everyone should be here, right?"

Listening to the loud explanation just now, this place can almost be regarded as a place where everyone rests and lives on weekdays. They work here and rest here.

So it’s just a matter of arriving a little earlier or later, which doesn’t really make much difference.

Tashkent nodded and walked along the wall towards the door next to him. "Is that so? Then take Comrade-chan and go wherever you want."

"That's where everyone lives behind there, and the wine-making equipment is also behind there." Hong Liang reminded from the side.

Huang Chen nodded and followed Tashkent through the door. Soon he heard some scattered talking and laughing.

Hong Liang continued, "Before, all the comrades were very busy, but because Yixian told everyone about the commander, the winery was shut down, and everyone is free now."

Tashkent immediately added, "This is actually quite good. It's not like before, when we were so busy every day that Tashkent was almost overwhelmed."

Kyiv nodded and said nothing.

Hong Liang disagreed a bit, puffing his cheeks and saying, "But doing nothing every day is too idle. Comrade Kirovtong, for example, is drinking every day."

"Drinking is better than working every day." Tashkent nodded, but then seemed to remember something, "But Tashkent can't drink at all."

"Kiev too." Kyiv nodded his head and said.

Hong Liang also said as if to add to the story, "Me too, but I like to drink borscht."

“Borscht is indeed delicious, and Tashkent likes it very much too.”

“Kyiv, too.”

What is this conversation about?

Huang Chen shook his head helplessly and looked around.

The structure of this building is very complex, or rather very novel. After passing through the door of the auditorium, what you see is a long corridor.

There is a wall on the right, and you can see outside directly through the window.

On the left hand, there are locked rooms, neatly arranged together, but tightly locked, which makes people curious.

"That's where they used to make wine. Commander, would you like to go in and take a look?"

As if noticing Huang Chen's doubts, Hong Liang turned around and explained.

"No need, let's go check on everyone first." Huang Chen waved his hand.

Tashkent nodded. "There's nothing interesting to see in there. It's just all sorts of equipment and containers, packed densely. There seems to be vodka too. Comrade, do you want some?"

"I don't want to, and I can't drink either. I get drunk if I drink." Huang Chen said with a smile.

Tashkent immediately showed a look of surprise, and said with some disgust, "Oh, so that's it, Comrade, wasn't he very powerful in the past?"

"When did it happen?" Huang Chen asked puzzledly.

"I don't remember. It's really not possible. I can't drink at all. I can drink a little bit in Tashkent." The girl shook her head and said with some pride.

Didn’t you just say that you couldn’t drink?

And what's so proud about just drinking a little bit?

Huang Chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the girl's hair.

The latter immediately raised his head and asked in confusion, "Comrade, do you have anything to tell Tashkent?"

"No, I'm just silent." Huang Chen said, but he saw Kiev being a little cautious out of the corner of his eye, and immediately smiled and reached out to touch the little guy.

Kiev was stunned at first, then he smiled, narrowed his eyes, and moved closer to Huang Chen imperceptibly.

"Oh, I see." Tashkent nodded and said nothing more.

Hong Liang smiled and said, "Actually, it's very comfortable to touch the head, especially to touch the commander's head. It's very nice."

"Comrade's head? Tashkent wants to touch it too." Tashkent turned his head immediately.

Kyiv didn't say anything, but his eyes showed obvious curiosity.

"You!"

Huang Chen glanced at Hong Liang helplessly, but still squatted down and said with a smile, "Then touch it."

"You're welcome, Tashkent."

Tashkent took action without hesitation, followed by Kiev, and Hong Liang naturally did not miss this opportunity.

Huang Chen felt like his head was being rubbed back and forth by several small hands like a ball. It was extremely strange.

After a moment, Tashkent was the first to withdraw his hand, commenting somewhat puzzledly, "It doesn't feel anything, it's just furry like a little hedgehog."

"That's how it is. The commander has short hair." Huang Chen shook his head.

Kiev seemed quite happy, a smile showing on his expressionless face. "I feel very comfortable with the commander's hair."

Huang Chen smiled.

Hong Liang stared at his hand with a puzzled look on his face and said curiously, "It feels a little oilier than before."

"That's enough!" Huang Chen suddenly raised his head and glared at the little guy fiercely.

Chapter 1140 Can I say no?

Compared with the previous building, this corridor seems to have a much more time-honored atmosphere.

In other words, it's a bit old, but the decorations in the corners and the stickers on the windows make the place more lively.

It was not like before, empty and quiet, as if no one lived there.

"The lounge is in front. Comrade Kirov and the others should be drinking right now, right?"

Hong Liang said with some excitement. Although he had just been glared at by the commander, for the little guy, it was as if nothing had happened and he soon became lively again.

"No, Comrade Kirov is out today." Tashkent shook his head.

"Huh? She actually went out today?" Hong Liang seemed a little surprised.

Tashkent nodded, raised his finger and said seriously, "He went out with Chkalov early in the morning. I think he went to the academy?"

At the end, she looked at Kiev beside her with some uncertainty. The latter thought for a moment and nodded.

"Eh? Is that so?" Hong Liang tilted her head, looking a little surprised, but also seemed quite happy. After all, in her opinion, working hard is always much better than drinking, although she didn't know what kind of work it was.

Thinking of this, she continued to ask with some anticipation, "What about Gangut and the others?"

"Still drinking." Tashkent said simply.

Comrade Hong Liang's expectations disappeared immediately.

It’s really strict, luckily she’s just a little loli.

Huang Chen smiled and shook his head, looking at the room getting closer and closer in front of him, but he unconsciously reached out and touched his head.

There shouldn't be much oil, after all, I take a shower every day...

He had a strange expression on his face, but said nothing and followed the little guy out of the room.

Hong Liang pushed open the door, and a not-too-large lounge suddenly appeared in front of Huang Chen. The floor tiles and walls were dark in color. Although it was depressing, it had a warm feeling.

On the left hand side is a counter that looks like a bar, and the densely packed square wine cabinet is filled with drinks of various colors.

A girl with short blue hair stood behind him prettily. She was wearing a dark uniform and was slowly wiping the wine glass with a white rag, giving people the feeling of a bartender.

The layout on the right seems a bit casual. The large brown sofa occupies almost all the space, and there are several tables and chairs placed along the sofa.

A few big, carefree guys were holding up shiny white wine bottles and bragging, while a few girls were sitting together sharing desserts and reading books.

In the very middle of the room, there is a TV hanging from the ceiling, playing a TV show or movie from an unknown era.

At least Huang Chen looked quite old.

Like a bar.
