Over the course of tens of thousands of years, the coral reefs that grew in shallow waters were formed by the accumulation of the corpses of their predecessors to form a structure similar to that of the island land. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The endless reef with its strange shapes gives it a strange beauty, but it is all based on the shells of the deceased in the past, as cruel as some historical evolutions.

The shallow depths of the water and the presence of unpredictable reefs in the waters have greatly hindered the idea of navigating large ships into the area, and these reefs are extremely threatening for ships suitable for navigating ordinary waters.

However, the shipwives who inherited the history and abilities of their predecessors and were embodied in this era can move forward normally in such bad sea conditions, even though they still need to worry about the existence of reefs due to their size.

In the previously quiet reef seas, the roar and explosion of naval guns are faintly echoing.

In the chaotic shallow sea reefs, two young girls in metal ship uniforms are showing amazing maneuverability to avoid the artillery fire projected from a distance, and in the process, they use the naval guns behind them to return fire.

And their opponents are the two monsters with human form, but mixed with beastly forms, the deep seas. Beneath their sturdy black metal shells lay a frenzied and chaotic will, and no sanity could be seen in their scarlet eyes, and they were rushing towards the two girls at any cost.

But this did not really threaten the two girls, who used the cross-fire of naval guns and called for aviation and fire support, even in the face of these two deep seas with considerable superior capabilities, they were able to maintain this blockade line stably. The performance of the two deep-sea boats, which were not very sturdy, gradually began to decline after the attack on the aircraft, even affecting their most vigilant maneuverability.

Suzuya and Mogador did not fight the deep sea alone, the aerial bombs dropped by Anne's carrier-based aircraft and the long-range fire attacks that Veneto adjusted his shooting from time to time were of great help to the two of them, and they also completely overwhelmed the deep sea.

A full-scale blow from three sides, even the deep-sea cruiser, which is slightly better than the two girls, suffered heavy damage. The metal shell was destroyed by armor-piercing bullets and radiation shockwaves, and the exposed complex structure of similar muscle tissue did not flow blood, after all, it is a special existence that is different from most life in the world, and human beings have not yet found out how the deep sea was conceived.

"Sister Suzuya, the teacher used to say that the high-level deep sea has a certain amount of intelligence, but now I can't believe it......", the blue-haired girl who was using the cooling gap of the naval gun to convey her thoughts, communicated with her comrades as if she was resting.

Their opponents are suffering heavy trauma from the fire attack at this moment, and if it were the ships under human command, they would have already retreated, and they would not have been cut off like they are now.

"The seniors in the academy are talking about the deep sea above the fourth level, but we really haven't seen such a terrible guy at the moment......", even at this moment, as a deep-sea opponent, Suzuya also expressed inexplicable sympathy for them, only with the performance of the two of them, but there is no tactical command of the deep sea that can only use its own strength mechanically, and cannot reasonably judge the situation and use skills, such an opponent cannot be called a great enemy.

At this moment, Suzuya did not accuse the girl of being distracted and chatting in the middle of the battle, because the two deep seas standing in front of the two of them were already scarred, and the two deep seas were already on the verge of sinking after being hit beyond their loads. At this moment, it is just a waste of resources to invest too much firepower, and the two people in charge of containing it are just not allowing them to break through the defense line.

Despite this, they still maintained their previous shooting patterns, but with the correction of parameters and the gradual dullness of the deep sea, the accuracy of their hits began to increase dramatically.

"Oops, it sank with one shot...... Then today's first result is Suzuya's ro~", just as Suzuya casually fired a round and a half salvo according to the calculation results, several naval guns hit one of the deep seas and caused major trauma. And the deep sea was like a special trigger, and the naval gun that was still rotating and aiming also stopped in an instant, and its body lost all power under a shudder, allowing inertia and gravity to slowly slide into the bottom of the water.

"Woo, Sister Suzuya is so powerful......", the blue-haired girl who witnessed this scene seemed to be a little envious. Although her eight naval guns are not weak among destroyers, they are still quite far behind the five triples held by Suzuya.

The deep sea, which could only be supported by the elimination of one of them, was instantly overwhelmed, and the deep sea, which was at a disadvantage in an all-round way, suffered a powerful strike force that exceeded its own firepower several times, and the final result was that the deep sea was also sunk by aerial bombs dozens of seconds later.

"Whew~ It seems to be the end." , The green-haired girl, who accurately witnessed the scene of the deep sea sinking to the bottom, slightly tidied up her scattered hair tips to recuperate, still maintained the loading state of the naval guns and entered the deep sea with the girl next to her.

At the moment when she had just sunk the deep sea, the special camera equipment carried by the girl recorded the scene completely, as a basis for handing in the task in the future. At this moment, the two of them waited for a few minutes as usual, but in order not to miss the deep-sea radiation core that might appear.

"I don't think so, Sister Veneto has already reminded us that we are out of time." , returned to the silent sea due to the end of the battle, and failed to catch the appearance of the crystal ball emitting a faint radiation reaction, but the two girls were not discouraged.

"Let's go back, the journey is just ...... done", Suzuya did not delay, and left the sea area with Mogador slightly stronger host.

And where the deep sea was originally sunk, the humanoid body was undergoing some kind of strange reaction. Whether it is the shattered metal shell or the exposed muscle connective tissue, it is rapidly dissolving under the mysterious action of the seawater.

Life that originated from the ocean will still return to the ocean at the end of its life, and even a life as violent and irrational as the deep sea can be embraced by the vast sea.

Veneto and the others, who were located on the shipping route, after slowing down slightly to welcome the return of Suzuya and Mogador, adjusted their formation slightly and moved forward again.

"Miss Veneto, I made a mistake and failed to report one thing during the battle." Just as Veneto and Anne were summing up the previous combat impact suffered by carrier-based aircraft in complex sea conditions, the sudden message made Veneto slightly distract from his spirit.

"Please." , Dual-purpose is not a difficult skill for a commander or ship girl with mental power, and at this moment Veneto can already multi-purpose at the same time but still maintain his spare strength.

"When I was on a mission before, when I used the ship's radar to detect the surrounding waters, I vaguely noticed that there was a special radiation response ...... at a long distance in the westward direction," Des Moine said with a slightly uncertain tone as he slowly recalled the situation from his previous memories and data.

"Is it a radiation reaction similar to the deep sea?" Naturally, Veneto knew that De Moine did not report in time because he could not confirm the specific situation.

"I can't be completely sure, but I can be sure that the radiation response is far beyond the level of normal life." , Des Moine naturally knows that it is easy to confuse the radiation reaction released by the ship's mother with the deep sea under long-distance ranging, and he can only roughly judge it at this moment.

"Didn't you do a second confirmation?" , Veneto asked with a slightly strange look. Since Anne needed air support and didn't want to overdo it, the surrounding vigilance and reconnaissance were almost entirely left to Des Moines.

"After the reconnaissance plane arrived at the predetermined position, it did not find the deep sea or other humanoid reactions, but it cannot be ruled out that my reconnaissance efforts were insufficient and I missed the past." , Des Moines, who was assigned this task, naturally did not say anything frivolous.

"I know, I'll report to the Admiral later." Knowing that Des Moine was only a warning, Veneto nodded slightly and moved on to other matters.

For her at present, the most important task at present is to move towards the North Island Town Guard. The girl thought about something with her ruby eyes, staring at a predetermined target in the distance.

…………

As Aritus and Veneto had previously discussed their plans before their trip and predicted possible scenarios, the destination of the girls' trip should not be called the North Island Castle, but rather ruins or ruins.

Relying on the shipping route and the guidance of the Coral Reef Town Warden, it took the girls nearly two hours to reach a small island where the North Island Town Warden was located.

What appeared in front of them was a verdant scene full of life, with lush mutant plants painting the original gray and black background of the island, but also almost completely obscuring the traces of human beings.

After cruising around the island for a certain distance, several girls finally confirmed the traces of the island's harbor.

Even outside the fairway, it is almost impossible to see the human structures that have been built on the island, and only the traces of the fairway berths on the edge of the coast remind people of what was once here.

The island seems to be completely uninhabited, and to be expected. Originally, there were not many inhabitants stationed here, and all of them were killed in the deep sea shock a year ago, and the successive admirals failed to rebuild the area, leaving the place completely desolate.

The girls wandering outside the channel did not rush into this place, but first asked Betty to lead Mogador and Lan to detect and clear mines on the perimeter of the port.

Staring at the girls who were releasing special ship outfits to carry out their operations, Veneto seemed to remember the time when he and Aritus had rashly broken into the ruins of a town guard. Even in the ruined Castle, some necessary protections may have been preserved, and the one they encountered at that time may have exhausted all their combat power in a fierce war of attrition with the deep sea, so that the two of them did not encounter a mine trap.

"The safety of the channel and berths has been confirmed, and no mine-laid areas have been found," said Veneto, who had a lot to do about the landing, as they had a lot to do.

"Understood, then please place a mine belt in the outer area first", Veneto continued to give instructions to Betty, while also telling Anne to stop at the harbor to confirm the mapping of the island.

She herself led the other two shipwives along the waterway into the ruined harbor here.

The first thing that everyone saw was a sense of desolation and silence that they had never seen before, and it was not uncommon for others except Veneto to be so surprised when they were witnessing the edge of civilization for the first time.

Contrary to the bustle of the past, and the tranquility of the ports of Georgetown and Blecado, there is a terrifying feeling of almost dead silence.

Everything that had once been here was buried under the dust and fallen leaves, and the girls who had been assigned the task began to split up.

"Suzuya, Des Moines, also ask two to use the reconnaissance plane to assist Anne in the task of mapping and guarding." After observing the traces on the ground for a while, Veneto remembered that the two girls next to him didn't seem to have many tasks, so he let them be in charge of some aerial reconnaissance tasks.

Following the traces of the streets that once were, the girls were moving through the slightly multitude of trees.

Occasionally, a few people could see steel frames and planks in the half-buried earth, and even some more messy daily necessities, indicating that they had officially approached the original site of the island's town guard.

"There are not many traces of the ruins...... It can be said that there were not many residents living here before. Des Moines, who was standing beside him, judged.

Veneto nodded imperceptibly, the scene here was very different from the ruins it once was. The sea fortress that has been built by humans with a lot of time and energy, even if it has been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, can still clearly see the overall town plan, and even among the ruins, you can find something that is still useful.

A mini-town that used to exist here has almost completely disappeared after the deep sea has passed, and if it weren't for the Admiral's continued dispatch here, it might have become a real desert island in just a few years.

"These trees are weird...... I don't recognize it at all. Suzuya stared at a strange-looking tree beside him, and seemed to be a little curious.

Veneto followed her gaze and paid a little attention to the plants. According to the information obtained before, the last admiral of the town guard mansion here left his post half a year ago, and the mutant plants on the island land completely occupied this place in this short period of time.

On this small island, the biggest threat to humans is these unknown mutant plants. As a result of the mutations caused by radiation, humans have not been able to grasp the traits of most plants, and it is naturally impossible to specifically explore their dangers and benefits.

Of course, this hazard rating is only for humans. For the ship wives who can match the deep sea, even the mutated predators can't cause them too much trouble.

Looking at the street traces here, Veneto couldn't help but think:

Did the first admiral who built the town guard here anticipate this situation? If he had already understood that the town guard here might eventually be lonely and disappear, then what kind of mentality would he hold onto?

The girl was slightly stunned.
