Faint footsteps spread through the quiet and dim tunnels. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There has been no trace of life in this place for a long time, and naturally no one has maintained it, and the walls of the original alloy casting are also covered with dust and some rust.

In the dimness, two humanoid figures were slowly moving.

This is exactly the Aritus and Veneto who entered the room from the entrance. Even with an unexpected surprise, the two of them were not too relaxed, and they were very cautious and walked slowly here.

Even though it has been buried by war and has been deserted for a long time, its predecessor is still a fortress built by human beings with great effort. The town guard, located in the middle of the island, is more closely protected.

This passage is also average, and although it has been a long time, there are still some defensive mechanisms still in operation.

Along the way, the two encountered several metal gates that had been completely locked due to lack of power, and it took a lot of shells to blast them open. Although a lot of time was wasted, the two of them did not seem very anxious.

The traces of these mechanisms and human buildings encountered on the road made the two of them believe in their previous speculations, and the occasional scattered resources on the road also allowed the two to roughly determine the direction of travel.

Finally, the road has come to an end, and this is the end of the road. And with the blessing of the ship's ability, both of them can clearly see the metal ladder above the wall.

Not surprisingly, the two of them followed the ladder to a strange place.

The smell of dust from being buried for too long and the rancid smell hidden in the middle of nowhere, make people cover their noses. Disorganized debris is thrown on the ground, and the occasional standard Aojin and some cluttered graphics can be seen.

Alitus focused his attention on the place, roughly recalling that it was a scratch from the summoning ritual, and couldn't help but wonder if this was the ashram in the Guard's Mansion. Summoning a ship girl needs to be done in a very stable place, and trying to summon on an overseas island like Aritus is a very dangerous act. The vast majority of admirals summon their shipwives in a closed ashram.

Moving his gaze into the distance, he could also see the scorched marks and bare steel frames between the ruins.

The two people who were coming out of the tunnel were not surprised at all when they saw the ruins formed by the collapse of the mansion. The same is true of the scene that the two of them detected through the reconnaissance plane before. It is almost completely cut off from the outside world, and even inside the building, many collapsed buildings block access.

"Admiral, this should be the ashram of the Town Guard's Mansion, right?" , The girl next to her asked softly after paying a little attention to the traces on the ground.

"I didn't expect it to be, but I didn't expect them to build a secret passage here, and at first I thought they would go straight to the office area of the town guard's mansion." The boy gently picked up a piece of Ao Jin on the ground, put it into the subspace, and said.

"If you go directly to the office area, you may be able to see the map of the town guard's mansion directly." , coming out of the ashram and clearly seeing a naval sign hanging on the wall, has accurately revealed that this is the town guard's mansion.

Without a map, the two of them can only walk around here, although more than half of the houses have collapsed, but it will take a lot of time to explore them all.

"So Admiral, do you need to explore separately? There is not enough time to spare. The girl Veneto left the ashram with the boy, looking at the ruins full of debris and steel frames, and couldn't help asking.

"Let's go to the borough first. There is a map of the structure here, and there is no need to search separately for the time being. The boy shook his head, looked through the ruins, and found a more spacious room and walked in.

Due to the collapse of the building, he couldn't confirm where it was, so he had to try his luck to find it first.

Of course, the two of them quickly spotted the map hanging in a certain room, and after wiping the dust off it and making out the handwriting, the two of them roughly determined the location of the place.

"Veneto, you can collect the resources in the ashram just now and put them in the hall just now, and then you can go to the cubicle to have a look." , the boy said after assigning the task a little.

He's going to head to the equipment area and some other places, and then the two of them will go together to explore the storage room where resources are normally stored. Because his subspace has an abnormal capacity, he has the most exploration tasks on his shoulders.

There was a lot of messy equipment in the equipment room, but Aritaus couldn't help but smile bitterly in the face of so much equipment.

Although the equipment is good, it must be compatible with the ship's equipment before it can be used. Aritaus was also able to use the radar and new secondary gun crew that Guam had given him because his mother had the same source as Guam.

The pile of equipment of unknown origin in front of him, even he felt a headache. It's a pity to discard the tasteless food, and that's exactly how Arrites felt at this time. He could only rely on his eyes to detect some equipment that he knew about a while, and most of it was still left in place, quietly walking with the ruins for the rest of the time.

If he still wants to keep more resources in his subspace, he can only do this. After looking at the equipment scattered all over the place, he could only silently abandon it.

He explored several of the planned rooms again, but found nothing useful, and the message from the spirit link made him abandon any further exploration of these places and join Veneto for the deeper storage room.

But the large empty room in front of them disappointed the two.

"It was directly emptied?" , Aritus said with some surprise.

"Admiral, it's possible that they've moved their resources directly to the front line, and there doesn't seem to be much left here." , Veneto also said with a little regret.

"Let's go somewhere else, then...... Hopefully I'll find something, but it's unlikely. Alitus glanced at the empty reserve room again. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly stopped, and his complexion changed slightly.

"Admiral?" , Veneto looked at the young man's expression, and seemed to be surprised.

I saw the boy take out a closed test tube from the subspace, and the center of the test tube was flashing with a faint green light, which seemed to resonate with something.

"What is this?" , the girl asked with some confusion.

"I don't know what it is...... But just now the test tube suddenly vibrated in subspace......," Aritus said puzzled.

He took a few steps forward with the test tube in hand, only to find that the green light was slightly weaker, and a few steps to the edge of the reserve room, only to find that the green light began to intensify.

There must have been something related to this fragment in the vicinity that sparked the resonance of this thing. Aritus judged this, and he kept changing his position, following the guidance of the green light to a corner.

At this point, the green light no longer changes, and the soft green light illuminates the darkness for several minutes.

"There's nothing here...... But the green light is ...... steady," Aritus said with a frown.

He suddenly turned up a few of the secondary guns mounted on the ship behind him, stood a little farther away, and fired a few rounds of shells at the place just now, only to find that there was a place where the wall was still intact.

Having verified his suspicions, the boy walked over to the intact siding, thinking about how to open the airtight mechanism.

But I didn't want the girl next to me to press her slender palm against the wall, and with a slight retreat, she triggered a mechanism and pushed the locker out from behind the wall.

"It's as simple as that?" , Arrites laughed.

"The organs in the town guard mansion don't have much means other than to use our radiation response and the mental power of the admirals to stimulate." , Veneto replied quietly.

"That's right." , Arrites moved the test tube forward slightly, but he could see the resources stacked in the locker, and he also took all the contents away, and also got a few high-energy repair fluids by the way.

Of course, what the two of them cared about the most was an iron box in the cabinet, and when they were close to the iron box, the test tube released a more brilliant green light.

Aretus thought about it for a moment and put the tube away. He wasn't sure what was in the tin box or what would happen if he wanted to touch the tube, so he put it away out of an abundance of caution.

Cautiously opening the tin box, only to see the piece of shard fixed in the tin box, Aritus looked at the fading light on it, and uncertainly approached the shard.

With a click, the fragments shattered the moment they were touched, turning into countless tiny dots of light, most of which fell into Aritus's body, while a few escaped into the air, and of course a small part was absorbed by Veneto.

"What's that?" The girl, attracted by the anomalous situation, did not notice that the green light drifted into the core of her body.

A feeling of dizziness came, and in just a moment, the girl couldn't control her body, and the ship suit on her body suddenly dissipated, and the whole person directly lost its support and fell.

At the moment before she fell asleep, she saw her admiral's anxious look, and wanted to say something out loud but was unable to do so, so she could only let sleepiness envelop her.

Aritaus, on the other hand, held Veneto, who was about to fall, and looked around but couldn't find a suitable place, so he could only let the girl lean on his shoulder.

He roughly confirmed Veneto's condition with a mental link, everything was normal, and all the girl's reactions were as if she was in a normal sleep, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The boy could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and quietly waited for Veneto to wake up.

He also thought about this sudden change for a while, and finally could only focus his doubts on the green light just now.

But he was not affected by the ability to equip the ship with the same development, and it was clear that he was exposed to more green light just now, but there was no change like Veneto. This puzzled him.

Time passed minute by minute, and he couldn't leave Veneto, who was sleeping in this strange place, so he could only wait for the girl to wake up.

The planned time of departure has long passed, and the timer function in the radar makes it clear to him that the girl has been asleep for 5 hours.

At this moment, the girl who had been in a coma for a long time suddenly opened her eyelids, revealing a pair of red eyes.

"Admiral?" , perhaps after resting for too long, she stretched her body a little and adjusted her posture before she saw her admiral's face.

"How does it feel? Nothing out of the ordinary, right? Aritus asked with concern.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary, it's like a little sleep." Veneto got back to his feet and used his outfit to check his situation. After trying for a long time, she still couldn't find anything wrong, so she had to give up.

"Admiral, how long has it been since I fell asleep?" , the girl suddenly remembered the question.

"It's been six hours, and it looks like we're going to stay here today." , The young man probably calculated the time and found that even if the two of them set off immediately at this time, they might not be able to go too far.

"So tonight is pure rest?" , Veneto asked suddenly. The two of them had already swept all the most valuable places in the ruins, and there was nothing else to do.

"I think...... If the resources are sufficient, they can take turns to flow into the canal, after all, there is just enough amount of high-energy repair fluid", Aritus made this decision after a little hesitation. You must know that due to the lack of repair fluid, they have experienced several battles and failed to enter the ditch. Even with the restoration of pure water and resources, it will inevitably have a negative impact on combat effectiveness.

"Then please leave the pure water to Mr. Admiral." Veneto did not refute her Admiral's suggestion, after all, she had not been in the ditch for a long time, and the damage caused by the battle also made her a little uncomfortable.

No deep sea noticed that in this town guard's mansion, which was mostly in ruins, there were admirals and ship girls again. In this way, the two had a rare safe night.
