Come and connect with me!

Wuming naturally could not understand all the words in Reno's mind, but he had also witnessed the firepower output of the ships. In this world that relies almost entirely on ships at sea, if the ships themselves cannot maintain a relatively neutral attitude, big problems may arise.

"Very good, then from now on, stop having these weird thoughts!"

Reno stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.

"This is the distance. You can't get close to me within this range."

“It’s really strict.”

Wuming muttered to himself and took a few steps back obediently.

"Of course it has to be strict, it's good for both of us, and I have to tell you right now that even without the rules, you're not my type!"

Seeing Wuming step back as requested, Reno crossed his hands and made a gesture.

"Understood. Then, how about we continue on our journey?"

"Well, just stand at the bow and show me the direction. I'm going full speed ahead."

It's hard for Wuming to say that he wasn't attracted to the kind-hearted Reno, but—

The distance between me and her is still too far.

Wuming pursed his lips and continued walking in silence.

The two adjusted their positions. Wuming was at the bow, stretched out his hand and closed his eyes. Reno followed the directions and moved forward quickly. Under the gentle sea breeze, Wuming felt the call becoming stronger and stronger. Less than half an hour later, Reno's surprised voice was heard.

"No, isn't there any response from the island on the radar?"

Wuming opened his eyes and saw that on the blue sea, a fog-covered island had appeared at some point.

Chapter 4: Uninhabited Port

Reno looked at the nautical chart, then looked at the foggy island, frowning.

The ocean is essentially just a large amount of water. There are no landmarks on the water surface, but the coordinates will not lie. Although this place is not a waterway, because it is relatively remote, the White Eagle ships including her have conducted exercises here and have never discovered the so-called island.

Weird.

"is it here?"

Reno's tone became serious.

"Yes, I feel it. It's right here."

Wuming took the telescope, observed carefully, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

It's good, there are no statues with green octopus heads or medieval castles with pointed roofs.

Lino looked at Wuming, who was looking excited, and reminded him, "There was no such island before, so I don't know what will happen. Remember to follow me closely."

There was no need to doubt Reno's judgment as a warrior. Wuming followed suit, picked up his backpack, and stared at the rapidly enlarging island.

After a while, the two went to the island together. Although it was filled with sea fog, after landing, they found that the density of the fog on the island was not as high as they had imagined. This side of the island was even a large stretch of pure white sand beach. Reno rubbed it, and the touch reminded her of the sunny beach at the resort.

“Is there anyone taking care of this place?”

Reno muttered to himself, and then said seriously: "Something is wrong here, don't stay too far away from me."

"Is there anything wrong?"

Reno nodded and walked towards the island step by step.

"It's hard to say now. Follow me. This island looks quite big. If you feel tired, remember to tell me."

Wuming said confidently: "Don't worry, my body is much stronger than before after six months of training."

Reno continued to move forward. There were tall coconut trees growing occasionally on the beach. The fog gradually dissipated as the two moved forward. With a wider field of vision, they found a cobblestone road that was obviously built by humans. There were dense trees and unknown bushes on both sides of the road. The two walked on the path. Soon, they came to the end of the road. The trees that were covering the road were gone, and the view in front of them was suddenly clear.

"This is……"

Reno's eyes suddenly widened, and in front of him was a paved artificial square with a huge anchor-shaped statue standing in the center.

"The mark of Azur Lane."

Wuming whispered, his expression a little strange, the odd call, and the familiar sculpture - although it was two-dimensional converted to three-dimensional.

Could it be that this is my golden finger?

"Yes, this is the mark of the Azur Lane, but all the ports are marked on my nautical chart, and this doesn't look like a confidential port..."

Reno had more and more doubts. Originally, he just wanted to help an ordinary person who was talking nonsense, but it actually involved so many problems. Now it is no longer just helping others. Generally, the port area with the Azur Lane logo means that there is at least the joint force of the White Eagle and Royal countries. But here suddenly appeared one, and the possible meaning behind it made Reno have to treat it with caution.

However, is Wuming really an ordinary person?

Reno took pictures with his ship suit. Seeing Wuming with interest, he decided to take him with him. After all, this place looked very strange and there might be danger.

The two continued on their journey. After passing the statue, there were several towering buildings. Reno cautiously turned on the radar scan, not missing any movement, but the nameless eyes behind him became brighter and brighter.

This small house, which is more than two meters high, is covered with red and white waterproof cloth. Through the window, you can see the dim square boxes piled up inside.

This is the convenience store in Azur Lane!

Next to the convenience store is a four-story building. Under the semicircular blue roof, a pattern of overlapping knives and forks can be faintly seen.

That’s right, this should be the Navy Canteen.

After walking a few more steps past the Navy Canteen, a two-story red-roofed building comes into view. There are large cat paw patterns printed on both sides of the door. A cat climbing frame and several cat toys can be seen in the open window.

This is a cat house where command cats are raised and bred.

That’s right, this is the port area in the game!

Wuming's heart was pounding and a feeling of joy filled his chest, but the same question as Reno's instantly calmed him down.

Wait, where are my KanColles? Where are my hundreds of KanColles? Where is my KanColle with a collection rate of 99?

Reno didn't pay attention to Wuming's mental journey. She didn't understand the function of these buildings at all. There are many islands that can accommodate Rubik's Cube battleships, but the establishment of a port area requires not only an area where people can stand, but also a superior geographical location.

Being able to support companions at any time and guarding the key roads are the foundations of the port area, but both the buildings and the geographical location here have an indescribable sense of weirdness. If it weren't for the Azur Lane sign outside, she would have believed it was a resort island. Moreover, these buildings themselves seemed to have some special invisible barriers. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch the door, as if a transparent glass cover was upside down on the building. She was like a mosquito outside that wanted to get in but was helpless.

This feeling of being left out is not a good one at all.

"Do you feel a calling here?"

Reno turned around and asked Wuming. Since nothing had been found out yet, she thought that she was able to get here because of Wuming's guidance, and maybe he knew something.

“It was peaceful, and the calling stopped.”

Wuming looked at the familiar building, then looked at Reno beside him, and smiled faintly.

"I haven't encountered anyone here, so how could it not be peaceful? Well, maybe I shouldn't ask you. Normal people would be scared when seeing an empty building like this."

Reno curled his lips, no longer bothering about Wuming's so-called feelings, and turned his gaze to another building. This was a building that Wuming had never seen in the game. It was located in the center of many buildings and had five floors. On the closed door, there was a small Azur Lane logo. Even if one did not understand architecture at all, one could tell that this must be the core of all the buildings seen so far.

Reno stretched out her hand tentatively at the door, but did not feel any obstruction like before. She touched the door easily and exerted a little force, just the force exerted by a normal human, and the door was easily pushed open.

"Squeak------"

As if no one had used it for a long time, the black wooden door made a harsh creaking sound, as if it was a malicious invitation from the devil. Seeing this, the corners of Reno's mouth twitched violently, and he hugged his arms subconsciously, feeling a chill in his heart for no reason.

Wuming looked at the dark interior of the building and felt a little scared. He asked in a low voice, "There shouldn't be any ghosts in this world, right?"

Chapter 5 Frederick the Great

Reno shuddered, turned around and said viciously: "Don't say such things before entering the door, the atmosphere is already very bad!"

Wuming gave a dry laugh and looked inside the door again.

"Sorry, forget what I just said."

Reno rolled her eyes at him, took a deep breath, and was about to suggest that Wuming stay where he was, but based on her years of experience watching horror movies, once this type of uninhabited island was separated, the next thing she would see in the next shot would be Wuming's body.

Forget it, it’s weird here, it’s safer if we stay together.

The two of them rested for a while and then walked in together. Unlike what it looked from the outside, the main hall did not look big. It was covered with dark red woven carpets, with guest seats and round low tables on both sides. There was a reception desk opposite the door. Behind the reception desk were two winding wooden staircases. The two of them climbed up the stairs. There were several rooms on the second floor. The interior decoration was similar, all with single beds, toilets and wardrobes.

“It feels like a VIP building. This should have been a guest room for receiving visitors.”

Reno sniffed the room and found that there was no special smell.

It wasn't one of those old rooms that hadn't been used for a long time and had an unconcealable musty smell even though it looked unchanged. Instead, it looked like a spare guest room that was cleaned every few days, and there wasn't even a speck of dust on the floor.

Wuming also started rummaging through the drawers. On the bedside table, there were a few books to kill time, including "Twenty Thousand Years Under the Sea". When he opened the drawer, he found a few boxes of finger biscuits with fillings.

Reno also came over and took a look.

"Would you like to stay here as a food reserve?"

"No, you can't eat anything you want."

Wuming shook his head and put it back intact.

"Then go to the third floor."

Reno took Wuming up to another floor. The structure of this floor was completely different from the second floor. There seemed to be only three rooms on the whole floor. Apart from the bathroom at the entrance of the corridor and a small room with the word "utility room" written on it, there was only the room at the deepest end with the business card of "Commander" on it.

The two looked at each other, checked the bathroom and storage room together, and then slowly walked to the door.

"Is there anyone in there?"

Reno shouted loudly, and after waiting for a while, he gestured to Wuming, signaling him to step back.

Wuming pushed the door back as he was told. Reno turned the door handle, looked around, and then waved to Wuming outside the door.

"Come in, there's still no one."

Her voice sounded frustrated, as if she had been accumulating strength for a long time but ended up hitting nothing.

Wuming walked in and found that there was nothing special about the commander's office. There was a world map on the wall next to him, and a thick brown desk in the middle of the room. There was a slightly smaller desk next to it, which should be the secretary seat assisting the commander in his work.

I don't know how to do it, but I know it's a long time

Reno was already standing next to the main desk, opening the drawers one by one, trying to see if there was anything inside.

Wuming, on the other hand, had nothing to do.

The inexplicable sense of calling gradually disappeared after landing on the island. Now I have completely calmed down. I feel like I will become a salted fish if I stay here for too long.

"Wuming, look, what I found!"

Reno took out a cell phone from the drawer and shouted while trying to turn it on.

Wuming looked closely and almost cried out.

Isn't this my phone?

He wanted to try it himself, but Reno was still fiddling with it with great interest, so he didn't dare to ask for it. He just watched Reno pressing things here and there, and a strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

If the mobile phone is the core of the port area, my real golden finger, then if Reno touches it first, she will become the commander and I will become a ship girl!

Don't do this. Even if I'm not around, at least I should be given the permission to use my plug-in for at least ten years!

When Wuming thought of this, he was confused for a moment, but he didn't know what to do. He stared at his phone, afraid to hear an electronic sound like (Ding, the system has started, binding started...).

Reno pressed the power button and tapped the screen for a long time before he let out a sigh and gave a conclusion.

"This thing must be out of power."

Wuming came forward and took a look, and saw that the screen was indeed black.

"Let me try and see if I can turn it on?"

"Here, take it, but my phone is out of battery, so it's useless for anyone to come."

Reno handed over the phone and muttered to herself, wondering if she could find some information like a diary.

Wuming took the phone, looked at it over and over again, and touched the small crack in the upper right corner with his finger, once again confirming his conclusion that he had accidentally dropped it several months ago, and the position and touch had not changed, so it was indeed his phone.

He tried to press the power button. Unexpectedly but naturally, the screen lit up and the battery showed that it was full. Then there was a six-digit password. He thought for a moment and quickly entered the number. The next moment, the screen saver disappeared automatically, and a lonely app appeared in front of him on the screen.

(Azur Lane)

The icon is still a hot woman.

The rest of the software such as Tieba, QQ, WeChat, Hedgehog Cat Reading, etc. have disappeared.

"You, you turned it on? No, there's obviously no electricity."

Reno also noticed the changes in the phone and was eager to take a look. Wuming was startled, his hand loosened, the phone slipped, and his finger accidentally touched the screen.

The cell phone vibrated, Reno's face changed, he grabbed Wuming's arm and quickly blocked him behind him.
