Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

With his eyes covered and his hands and feet tied behind his back, he lay on the damp and cold ground. There were only some constant noises around him. He could vaguely hear some voices that sounded like people talking, but they were not clear.

In such a situation, the fear will continue to grow, eroding rationality bit by bit.

Without any family or other adults to rely on, her mind was blank and Fuyue was shaking continuously in fear.

Being strong does not mean having a strong will, especially since she is only a teenager and in the prime of her youth.

People are most likely to have wild thoughts when they feel helpless, but thinking about anything is better than thinking about nothing.

Shen Yue could only hope meaninglessly in her heart that maybe someone could save her, and before she knew it, a person she had only met that once appeared in her mind.

Perhaps it was because she had never thought from the bottom of her heart what a commander with such a beautiful ship girl following him would do for an ordinary girl like her, Shenyue had never thought about that person.

But Yang Sikang's figure finally appeared in her mind.

Young, confident and seemingly calm, although his looks cannot compare to those handsome stars mentioned by his classmates, for Shen Yue, such a young commander is more admirable than a star.

Shen Yue's mouth was stuffed with a towel so she couldn't make any sound, and she didn't dare to make any sound at this time.

"Save me..."

☆

In the off-road vehicle, Yang Sikang, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the building in front of him.

The air-raid shelter is located in the wilderness, abandoned and even almost forgotten. It is close to the ocean and it only takes a dozen minutes to escape from the sea.

It was exactly where he expected to see it.

The female soldier stopped the car and turned to look over.

"Sir, the vehicle can only go so far."

"Ah."

Yang Sikang opened the car door and got out. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly while keeping his feet on the ground.

Take out the headset, put it on your ears, and adjust the communication channel.

After a brief pause, Belfast's voice came through the headset.

"Master, Miss Dafeng has arrived at your place. We are also in place here. What are the arrangements for the next step?"

"You, Sheffield, and Shangri-La come over here, and the others will be on standby."

"Yes, Master."

A few minutes later, Belfast, Sheffield and Shangri-La drove over from the direction of the seaside, and Yang Sikang also saw Dafeng with a gloomy expression standing on the small mound in front.

The entrance to the air-raid shelter was right in front of him, and he walked forward and took a quick look.

The door lock was covered in rust, but a closer look revealed that it was fake rust. The air-raid shelter had had its lock wheel replaced and had been opened not long ago.

He found traces of wheel tracks in the surrounding grass, but the person who left these traces had done a good job of cleaning up the mess. However, the vehicle was obviously very heavy, so the traces left behind were not completely eliminated, but covered up with other things.

"This is it."

Yang Sikang nodded, raised his hand, pulled out his pistol and shot directly at the door.

The protection level of the air-raid shelter door is generally very high, and the thickness can be very exaggerated.

This air-raid shelter uses a large turntable to open the door, but the opening speed is very slow.

However, when Yang Sikang fired a shot, a hole suddenly appeared on the door.

The damage that the energy beam of the Mind Cube can cause to the human body is nothing more than making a hole, so Yang Sikang added an explosion effect when making it to compensate for the problem of different stopping force caused by over-penetration.

In the current situation, the heavy metal door almost completely consumed the energy that was hit out, and the energy beam was unable to cause an explosion after penetrating the iron door.

"My pistol can penetrate it, so there's no need to use the ship suit to clear the way."

Yang Sikang grasped the muzzle of the gun and handed the pistol to Sheffield.

Sheffield walked up to him and raised his hand to quickly punch holes in the door.

She was an excellent shooter and made holes one after another, quickly making a line on one side of the iron gate.

Then she destroyed the lock on the other side. Because it was thicker there, it took three shots to completely destroy it.

As its fixed position was completely destroyed, the big iron gate continued to stand here only by relying on its own weight.

"Master, please step back a little."

Sheffield returned the pistol to Yang Sikang, took out a musket, loaded it with special ammunition, then inserted the barrel into the hole and fired two shots into the inside of the passage.

Yang Sikang stepped back and looked at the information fed back on his personal terminal, and shared the data so that Belfast and others could also see the information.

The interior space of the air-raid shelter is indeed very large, and there are indeed many protective measures, so he made some small preparations when he came.

For example, detection devices used to detect the reactions of living organisms and shielding devices used to shield signals.

"Shangri-La."

The carrier-based aircraft took off and began to hover above the air-raid shelter, while scattering a large amount of things around it.

Sheffield unfolded his ship suit and pulled the heavy door open with force.

When the door was opened wide enough for two people to pass through, Sheffield stopped, while Yang Sikang and Dafeng walked in first.

Shangri-La stayed at the door, and Belfast and Sheffield followed him in.

Walking into the air-raid shelter, the air here has a slight odor, but it is completely different from the smell that should be present in an underground space that has been closed for a long time.

The air quality is quite good. Although the environment is dirty, it becomes cleaner as you go deeper inside.

However, after entering the main body of the air-raid shelter, there is only a small clean area.

Obviously, those who entered here only used it as a temporary base for operations, and the cleanup only cleared out the parts that were convenient for them to use.

"It's really rare to find an air-raid shelter like this. It was built in such a place and it has survived until now."

Yang Sikang was looking at the air-raid shelter while speaking casually. The sound in the air-raid shelter did not cause much echo. Sheffield, who was walking in front of him, said without turning his head:

"A place that has not been used for a long time will not only accumulate dust, but also attract pests to live in it, and this place is no exception. If possible, could you please go out first and wait until we clean up the pests here before coming back in? Otherwise, your clothes will be very dirty when you go out."

"I still like to take part in cleaning."

"Then please be sure to pay attention to safety, after all, the space is a bit narrow."

After Sheffield said this, he suddenly accelerated and quickly entered the passage next to him.

Yang Sikang did not follow her path, but leisurely took out his weapon.

A pistol equipped with an advanced silencer and using subsonic bullets, a set of lightweight throwing knives and a dagger.

His energy pistol had too much destructive power, and this air-raid shelter was very old after all, so there was no guarantee that any of the shots would cause problems.

The combination of silencer + subsonic bullets is also a helpless choice. It's not that he wants to hide the sound of his gunshots, but if he doesn't do this combination, his ears will not be able to bear the volume of firing indoors.

Even if it was just a pistol, the ears couldn't withstand it.

"Commander, Taiho can actually use carrier-based aircraft..."

"No."

Yang Sikang stopped the anxious Dafeng and said:

"Not only is it difficult to control carrier-based aircraft in this basement environment, but the loud noise of firing is absolutely unacceptable. The child is a hostage, and if your ship fires here, the noise will be enough to make her deaf for the rest of her life."

Although the KanColle's carrier-based aircraft is much smaller than normal aircraft in visual size, and even if Taihou deliberately controls it, it is possible to fly for a short time in such a limited space, but the problem is that the weapons on the carrier-based aircraft are not discounted at all, and their destructive power is even stronger.

The interior of this air-raid shelter probably cannot withstand the fire from large-caliber machine guns. After all, the core purpose of this kind of facility is to resist external air raids, not internal destruction.

This is also the reason why Yang Sikang came here by himself, while Dafeng arrived first and waited outside.

He needed weapons that would allow him to fight in this environment and equipment to prevent the girl from getting into accidents, but Dafeng and the others were completely unable to fire here.

The personal terminal was handed to Belfast, and Yang Sikang received the location information fed back by the detector through shared information.

☆

Shen Yue didn't know how much time had passed since she was taken away.

The growing sense of fear had already caused her to feel some abdominal pain, as if her intestines were entangled.

Because she couldn't see anything, and the voices outside had stopped since she didn't know when, Shen Yue was now in a state where she couldn't see or hear anything, and her body was in pain due to the long-term restraint.

Fear, hunger, and a slight lack of water from heavy sweating wore away her spirits, and she had now reached a point where she had stopped even her silent prayers.

But suddenly, the silence was broken.

Suddenly, a voice was heard outside, the volume suddenly increased, and then it was followed by a few muffled sounds.

Shen Yue was very scared. She now knew very well that the sound insulation of the place where she was should be very good, because she could only hear some noises from people outside when they were arguing loudly.

But the muffled sounds could be heard, which proved that the noises were actually quite loud.

The girl moved her body as much as she could, trying to stay quiet as she moved away from the sound source little by little on the ground where she didn't even know where she was.

Until her body touched the wall, the girl continued to move in one direction along the wall until she touched another wall and made sure she was in the corner.

The sounds outside became more and more obvious, and Shen Yue could hear some roars mixed in.

She still couldn't hear clearly what those people were saying, but something happened outside, which made her nervous and stopped her meaningless fantasies.

After a while, the roar stopped and everything returned to silence.

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound outside, but suddenly, she clearly heard the sound of someone falling to the ground.

Someone entered the room where she was.

Chapter 309: Shen Yue is saved, Yang Sikang's declaration

Sneaking into a dugout was no difficult feat for Sheffield.

When Yang Sikang asked them all to gather together, Sheffield didn't say anything, but she still felt that Yang Sikang was making a big deal out of nothing.

She didn't know what was special about the girl, but since Yang Sikang said he wanted to rescue her, then she would rescue her.

But this does not include letting Yang Sikang run into the room with weapons in hand to fight people, especially when they cannot use their ship equipment to provide him with protection.

Sheffield expressed her opinion to Belfast, but Belfast told her to just follow orders.

Fortunately, Belfast was also with Yang Sikang.

Yang Sikang went to Chicheng and obtained the detailed drawings of the internal structure and pipeline distribution of the old air-raid shelter in the most direct way, and also obtained detailed drawings of the surrounding area.

Not only that, he also took out a portable device that could detect life reactions. The equipment that was previously shot into the channel with a smoothbore rifle and the things dropped by Shangri-La's carrier-based aircraft were for this purpose, and those things could ensure to the greatest extent that the people inside could not communicate with the outside world.

Thanks to these preparations, Sheffield knew where the girl he wanted to rescue was from the moment he entered here.

The person guarding the gate outside was a little more troublesome than she expected, but only a little more troublesome.

After all, after she unfolded her ship suit, those people's weapons could not do anything to her at all, and she only needed to rush over and wave her hand, and those people's bulletproof vests could not save their lives.

But after dealing with the enemies in this room, Sheffield hesitated.

There are a lot of dead bodies here.

Thinking of Yang Sikang's arrangement, Sheffield sighed helplessly.

Although it was very troublesome, she still honestly found the vent, then went through the ventilation duct to the top of the target room, and then jumped down from there.

The room was not wired to any electrical circuits and had no lighting at all.

Sheffield took out the light in the ship's space, turned it on, and found the girl's location.

But she did not untie the girl first, but opened the communication channel.

"Master, I have found the person. I am protecting her now."

"Okay. Wait till I get over here."

Sheffield looked at the trembling girl in the corner and frowned slightly.

She did not say hello to the girl, nor did she touch her. She just unfolded her ship suit and looked at the terminal in her hand, which fed back the information of the living people synchronized in real time.

Of course, this also includes Yang Sikang’s position.

About ten minutes later, Yang Sikang and the other two finally arrived at the room outside.

This air-raid shelter is quite large, but these people have set up a lot of traps, so it is a little troublesome to deal with.

But after all, they are all things with limited lethality. Obviously, these people in Sakura Empire can't get anything too powerful, otherwise they wouldn't hide them in such a place.

But even so, when Yang Sikang arrived here, his body was covered in blood, and there was a lot of dust stuck to his body due to the blood and other things.
