Chapter 25: The Passage

The morning on the isolated island is not cold, the orange-red light and the residual heat in the atmosphere keep the temperature at a fairly high standard, and the summer heat has not yet left. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the roof of a dilapidated dwelling somewhere in the ruins, a reddened boy illuminated by the sun was looking into the distance. Beneath those blue pupils are buried elusive emotions and memories that have become a thing of the past.

The island that once lived for 14 years may have long since turned into a deserted ruin, right?

The boy was so sure that it was because of the terrifying power of the deep sea and the indiscriminate destruction it brought about that he became more and more determined to become a lieutenant.

In this wasteland era, people without power can't even protect themselves, let alone protect the people around them?

Several emotions in the young man's heart are entangled together, confused and sad mixed with powerlessness and depression. In the end, all those weak emotions were gone, and only the firmest thoughts were revealed.

The creaking sound of the door was coming from under his feet, and he was sure that the sound was coming from his awakened companion before he released his mental energy.

The white-haired and red-eyed girl was a little puzzled at first, but she didn't see the young man beside her, until she walked out of this temporary residence, and she didn't see the figure of the young man standing on a high place.

The girl jumped lightly and jumped onto the high pavilion where the boy was. Even a petite-looking shipwreck like Veneto can easily jump two stories high with the help of her own host.

Most of the roof structures have been destroyed by the naval guns of the deep sea, and the rest of the roof has been crumbling with the passage of time, as if these structures will completely break away with a little force.

Veneto walked easily through the very dangerous crevices, as if she were walking on flat ground, and after a moment's hesitation, she came to the balcony where the boy was, and stood without saying a word.

She glanced at the boy's side of the face for a moment, but couldn't read his thoughts from the boy's face.

Perhaps because she didn't want to disturb the young man at this time, she didn't choose to connect to the spiritual link to say anything, just waited silently.

After a moment, the young man asked softly:

"Good morning Veneto, how was your rest last night?"

"The condition is very good, and all the damage on the ship's equipment has been repaired, and it no longer affects the combat ability. There is still time to spare, so the Admiral can go and rest first, and I will leave the rest of the vigilance tasks to me. The girl's crisp voice came, with a hint of care in her words.

In fact, this is also the experience that the two of them summed up when they were on a sea cruise. Only by maintaining the best condition can he cope with the most unexpected situations, and the girl does not care that he extends his time to rest a little.

"It's in good shape, there's no need to delay planning." The boy shook his head and rejected the girl's kind offer.

He naturally knew his state, and he also knew that the decision made by the two of them today was actually full of risks. He felt that it was better to complete the task as soon as possible and leave quickly.

"Then Admiral, please have a cup of coffee first, early morning coffee is very helpful for refreshing." The girl took out two small bags at some point, and Alitus glanced at them and found that they were instant coffee powder.

"There is no container here, and there is no fire source here, even if I can make water, I can't make ......", before he finished speaking, he saw a small two large and three coffee cups taken out by the girl next to him again.

Arites thought for a moment, it seemed to be the unopened glass he had found after entering the room yesterday, but he still had some confusion about what to do with the heating afterwards.

The boy didn't ask anything anymore, and slightly released his spiritual power, gathering the free moisture in the air. First, wash all three cups with some streams of water, and then pour the additional liquid into the larger glass, gradually filling them.

Life and death are the best way to exercise people's spirit and will, and after several battles with the deep sea, his spiritual strength level has also risen sharply, and the ability to manipulate and produce pure water by the way is much easier and more comfortable than before. At this time, just making less than 300ml of water still does not have much effect on the spirit.

The girl beside her waited for the boy to finish his steps, and her slender hand grasped the cup, releasing her own energy reserves. The hydrogen energy that was originally converted by the core of her body can be converted into heat energy at this time, which can be easily used by her to heat the cup. This process does not waste too much hydrogen, and basically achieves extremely high energy utilization.

Seeing this scene, Aritaus couldn't help but marvel, he couldn't do it just by using the host to transform his own energy and transfer it, let alone the meticulous control ability in the process. He also felt once again the gap between himself and a prototype ship like Veneto, even if he inherited his mother's blood and abilities, there was still a big gap in many aspects.

After a few moments, the boiling hot water is poured into two smaller cups and mixed with the coffee powder.

Veneto handed one of these cups to Aritus, enjoying his morning coffee as he released his reconnaissance plane.

Alitus silently withdrew the ship's equipment behind him, stopped the original use of radar for security missions, and recovered his lost mental energy in this leisure.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Veneto, who was beside him, had opened a small bag and added some fine white powder after taking a sip.

He didn't mind the bitter coffee, and as Veneto said, a cup of coffee in the morning was good for refreshing himself.

The vigilance alternate was silently completed at the early morning coffee time, and after enjoying the early morning coffee, the two waited for a while and began to carry out the original plan.

……………………

As hours passed, Alitus looked at the rising sun overhead, and after estimating the time for a while, he sighed and said:

"It's already past nine o'clock, if we can't find that entrance in the next three directions, let's go to the residential area to find some resources to deal with it."

Four of the seven possible directions calculated yesterday had been explored, and no special traces of passage were found, much to the frustration of the two. If you can find a way to enter the ruins of the town guard's house, you may still be able to get some things, but if you can't find it, then you may not have much to gain today.

"Admiral, please don't give up, I've recalculated, and the next place should be the most likely. If none of them are there, we need to choose to abandon this plan. The white-haired and red-eyed girl sat on her ship's uniform, and after comparing and sorting out the previous data again, she said softly.

Soon after, the two arrived at the predetermined marked location, and the two divided their work to explore the place.

They don't have any special equipment on their bodies, and they don't have technical support from human technology, but their spiritual power is a perfect substitute for what they needed at this time.

Radiating mental powers, and exploring and confirming the surroundings, is also the easiest way for the two of them. It's just that such a rough way is a waste of mental energy, after all, it takes a lot of useless work to find one's goal.

It seems that Veneto's previous prediction paid off, and while searching for traces of damage caused by a ship's cannon, Aritus' mental powers confirmed the complete passage of a passage buried by the ruins.

Naturally, the news was passed on through a spiritual link with Veneto, and soon the girl was also standing outside the ruins.

"The traces of artillery fire here tend to be from the outside inward, and they are relatively neat, not like the result of shells fired from a distance. It may be that the original shipwrewn here was formed to cover up that passage. Again, the boy carefully observed the details and said his guess.

"But you need to clear the ruins above before you can confirm the ......," Veneto also released his mental power to sense the passage below, and came to this conclusion.

"I'll leave this to me." As he spoke, Aritus mobilized his own armament and began to use the secondary gun crew to lock on to the target in front of him. The original eight single-mounted guns had long been replaced by four twin-mounted secondary guns, which he had replaced when he was in Xingzhou.

A roar passed, and a road was opened by artillery fire on the originally buried ruins. Even the power of the secondary guns on the ship's installation should not be underestimated, because such secondary guns. In terms of firepower, it is even stronger than many destroyers.

And after the smoke cleared, the entrance that had been covered was also revealed to the two. But whether it is a secret passage leading to the town guard mansion here, the two of them cannot confirm at this time. They had also found a fake entrance before, only to realize that they had wasted a lot of time after a long period of exploration.

Veneto felt that this should be the entrance to theoretical speculation. Traces of artillery fire can be seen from the opening, and it can be seen that it was deliberately destroyed and buried with naval guns, rather than collapsed by deep-sea artillery fire. The girl stood at the entrance and looked in a little.

"Hopefully...... However, it is uncertain what else can be left in the town guard's mansion, and perhaps some resources have also been destroyed by them. Arites has always been committed to thinking about the worst-case scenario to deal with the possibility of uncertainty, so that it is not easy to be too disappointed.

Veneto glanced at the boy and sighed inwardly, she felt that the Admiral's idea was a little too pessimistic. At least she figured that the hastily evacuated Admirals wouldn't be able to destroy all of their resources.

Aritus and Veneto walked between the dark passages, and the extraordinary vision of the ship's bloodline allowed him to distinguish things clearly in the dark.

Suddenly, Veneto stopped and picked up something from the ground, which was a standard unit of Aukin.

The standard unit of Aojin is not used for civilian manufacturing, but is specially made for the needs of supply ships. And the appearance of this also means that there have been traces of people carrying resources here.

"If nothing else, this should be the gateway to the town guard's mansion." , Arrites also noticed Veneto's movements, and said with a little surprise.

"But the admirals and ship girls here did take the resources with them." , Veneto said after nibbling down half of Augin.

"And that's to be expected...... However, it is not possible to confirm what percentage they took. It stands to reason that the resources that the ship's mother can carry are very limited. And this large town guard should have quite a lot of resources in reserve, and the deep sea has not formed a protracted war here, and under normal circumstances, there should be a surplus of resources. At this time, Alitus pressed the joy in his heart and calmly analyzed.

Resources are extremely important to the Admiral and the Shipwive, and even to humanity as a whole. Not to mention that for the two people who can't properly get supplies from the human world at this time, if they can get supplies from here, it will be of great help to future actions.

And the purpose of the two of them here is also to obtain enough resources, otherwise there is no support from resources, and if they encounter the deep sea in the future, they really have no ability to resist.
