In the midst of a dense harbor built against a grey black reef and sea cliffs, a huge catamaran is slowly moving along the cleared channel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a cruise ship exclusive to the Central Naval Academy, which faithfully executes the delivery of students to various townsmen.

It brought not only the three reserve commanders of the Central Naval Academy and their subordinate ship mothers, but also the rare resources that the Georgetown Town Guard was in dire need.

Far away from the core waters of the human race, the town guards rely on the trade of goods with other regions to maintain the normal operation of this place.

In the next two months, the students of the Central Naval Academy will gradually become familiar with the official duties that the Admiral needs to perform and the combat missions that the ship girls need to perform, and really contact and fight with the deep sea.

The boy who stood on the edge of the port and watched the cruise ship go away couldn't help but feel a little more trance when he looked at this scene. At this time, he still vividly recalls what happened, but the academy's certificate also shows that he has indeed spent nearly ten months of study. The subtle sense of time error made the teenager a little distracted.

"Okay, you can leave in two months, and you don't have to be too nostalgic about the academy." , a young man who was standing not far away, who didn't look like an old man, was giving instructions like this. He was one of the two admirals in the town's house, and he and the other admiral were tasked with teaching and evaluating the students during these two months.

The young man paid a slight attention to the rank of Colonel on the young man's uniform, and recalling his common sense, he naturally knew that this was an admiral who had completed two standard formations and already had some qualifications.

From the special copy and logo embroidered on his military uniform, Alitus could tell that this was the Admiral of the Georgetown Town Guard, and he was also their superior during these two months.

Perhaps everyone present noticed this, and the expressions on their faces seemed to become a little subtle.

The young man looked at them and remembered what he had experienced before he said:

"But you don't have to care too much about things like titles, I'm also a student at the Central Naval Academy, and I happen to be your senior in the last class."

"And sometimes it's not good for you to be too serious, especially ...... When you become an official admiral, you don't want a serious look on your face. There seemed to be a metaphor in the young man's words, but neither the three admirals who followed him nor the twenty shipwives could feel the helplessness in the young man's joking words.

The group followed the young man and gradually entered the town, which was built on the basis of the port.

It is said that it is a town because it is much worse than Cristobal, of course, it is still slightly better than the previous Sin Chew Islands, and to some extent it is somewhat similar to the scenery of the previous Vilia Mill Port.

Perhaps due to its location, the Port of Georgetown, built in Grand Cayman, also has a hidden architectural style. Whether it is a town guard or a commercial shop or residential area, it is disguised and camouflaged with mountains, and it is close to the gray and black rock color exposed on the outside.

It wasn't until he witnessed this scene that Aritus truly realized that this was not a ****** with full sea domination like the core waters of mankind, but a military port that was independent of overseas and needed to be defended by the Admiral.

"You must all be natives in territorial waters, right? Don't worry about the eyes around you later. The young man's initial casual remark was not heeded, and it was not until a few minutes later that they understood the implications.

The group walked through the slightly old streets of the city, which were very different from the sights and buildings they saw in Cristobal. Traces of craters and fireworks can be seen on the old houses, which bear the inexplicable scars of war and contrast with the newly built and intact residential quarters.

And on the streets, the boys and girls are confronted with the cold and complicated gaze cast by the surrounding crowd. People who are mixed with fear and hatred, but for some reason can't waste much time on them, just that malicious glance makes them uncomfortable.

Growing up in the most civilized region of mankind, they can't quite understand this situation. It wasn't that they hadn't been to Cristobal before, where the new humans were very gentle with the Admirals and the Ship Maidens, with a little envy and a little more admiration.

But the old humans in old clothes who cast resentful eyes here seem to treat them with hostility.

None of them understood why they had a grudge against their group who had just visited, and of course they knew that this was not only a military port with a long-term presence of the Admiral, but also a small human settlement.

Although I have long heard that the old humans are not dealing with the new humans and even the Admiral and the ship's mother, I have only known it in the news reports before, but I have never experienced such attention firsthand.

And the young people who stand at the front and attract the most attention do not seem to care about such gazes.

He was also joined by Arrits and Talia, who were equally able to ignore the gaze around them, as if they were air, and only intently browse the scenery.

Except for these three, the nineteen people were a little uncomfortable.

There was also a discussion in the mental network that Aritus had built, but he remained silent.

Without a word, everyone left the main road of the town and entered the town guard's mansion, where the fortifications and fortifications had been built.

It was only at this point that the young man suddenly spoke:

"Maybe you're curious, but you've seen some ads before that promote old and new humans helping each other, right? Have you heard that there are some contradictions or frictions between the two sides? Didn't you expect them to be so hostile to us? ”

The questions of the young people grew heavier and heavier, and the boys and girls alike were silent, as if they were secretly wondering why this was the case. Only Talia and Aritus could look at them directly, as if they had expected it.

"The old humans will never remember that it was with the help of our new humans that they were able to get rid of the farming and animal husbandry that had regressed to hundreds of years ago, and they would only have two opinions: 'Why don't you let us live better' and 'Why you live better than us'. Ah, it's really annoying, these people who don't contribute much still have to continue to raise, and they still make trouble from time to time. The young man may have remembered something, so complained.

Everyone was a little afraid to take such words, and they couldn't be sure if this was a pit set up by this senior.

"Don't think about it so much, I mean it. You'll understand it in the future. The young man sighed, originally he wanted to maintain a more equal relationship with these younger students, but since he became the intern mentor of these children, it seemed that it was impossible.

"Mr. Admiral Trisk, are they hostile to us because they were uprooted from their homeland and came here because of the decree in the first place?" Due to historical reasons, the New Human Federation has a very ambiguous attitude towards the old humans, and although they are not allowed to continue to live in the core area, they still arrange some ways out for them. The gray-haired boy who had spoken out just now was asking with some uncertainty.

"The town guard here has not been built for 20 years, and there were no us here but they before." The young man turned his head to look at the town built in the mountains, and sighed.

"Some people here are naïve enough to think, 'We can live well and fight against the deep sea without your help.'" It is really the fearless ...... of the ignorant," the young man said with a certain sense of confusion.

Aritus, who had actually fought with the deep sea and witnessed the ruins of a town guard, could understand the helplessness behind his words.

Even the new humans can't effectively fight against the deep sea, let alone the old humans who lack enough advanced technology and equipment to resist with their flesh and blood for a while?

Others didn't have the same experience as him, but they were forced by the school to see some photographic footage of the deep sea wantonly killing humans, and they also knew what kind of powerful monsters they could fight against their ship girls.

Not to mention the fight against the deep sea, the new humans who have used new modular construction designs to complete infrastructure, pioneered marine agriculture to increase food surpluses, and discovered new ways of energy have completely destroyed the old humans in all aspects.

Just as the young man was saying this, a petite girl with long brown-gray hair flew out from the gate of the town guard's mansion and slammed into the young man who was talking just now.

But he didn't seem surprised at all, and he didn't get angry with this girl because of such a change, he just hugged her gently, and what could be seen more in the young man's eyes was his doting on the girl.

"Woo, I thought the Admiral had run away from ......," said the girl, who was burying most of her body in the arms of the young man.

"How could it be...... Isn't it good to feel the spiritual connection", said the young man, caressing the girl's hair as a comfort.

"Okay Wenyue, there's still business here, let's go back first?" Just as he said this, the girl who had stopped crying seemed to have tears in her eyes again.

In desperation, the young man led the girl to the crowd.

At first, everyone didn't take the scene just now, the destroyer girls are indeed very childish and energetic, and the admirals and ship girls have been in contact with these children and are not surprised, but they just feel that she is more sticky to this admiral.

After Arrites and the others followed Trick into the Admiral's Mansion and exchanged some documents and signed the contract, the three Admirals and twenty Shipwives officially became temporary members of the Georgetown Governor's Palace, under the command of the two higher-ranking Admirals here.

After that, they tried a very ordinary and bland lunch reception.

Perhaps because of the distance from the center of human development, or because of the pressure of shipping, the food here is much worse than that of the Central Naval Academy, and of course the admirals present can understand.

When the boy was arranged to stay, he subtly felt a certain abnormal atmosphere in this town guard's mansion.

Not abnormal, to be exact, but some familiar feelings, similar to what he had once felt in the Admiral's Mansion in Xingzhou, an invisible existence shrouded here.

Hurrying past him, the black-haired kimono girl in a huge ship suit, Aritaus caught a glimpse of the slight dazage and gloom on her face.

Perhaps because he was thinking too much, he always felt that the girl who was holding hands and following Trick at this time seemed to have a similar aura, but seeing the girl's innocent face, he extinguished this conjecture.

"Admiral?" , temporarily standing in the dormitory where the boy was assigned, Veneto, woke the boy up.

"Huh?" , Aritus, who finally came back to his senses, looked at this slightly dilapidated room, but did not have too much dissatisfaction.

Having spent nights and sleeping with Veneto in desert island grottoes and wastelands, he prefers a comfortable environment, but he is not a man who is unable to accept the more embarrassing reality.

He also saw once again that the world has truly experienced the great trauma caused by the deep sea. Everything he had seen in Cristobal before almost gave him a slight illusion.

In this era of radiation, mutation, and monsters, it is impossible for humanity to truly develop steadily.

"I don't know if the Admiral feels it, the atmosphere here seems to be a bit heavy and ......," Veneto, who was also very sensitive, finally said such words.

After that, the boy and she looked at each other, and after making eye contact with each other, he said, "Maybe it's because it's quite different from the previous place." ”

The girl Veneto probably understood the boy's concerns at this time, nodded and stopped asking, and went to the room next door with Anne.

Due to the size and structure of the town guard's mansion, it has become a little crowded after accommodating them, and most of the shipwives are arranged in the same dormitory in pairs.

In the overseas bases and archipelagos, far from the center of human society, the level of construction and industry that can be achieved here seems to be much lower than that of the central region of mankind, and it seems to have returned to the level before the cataclysm.
