Chapter 114: First Encounter with the Deep Sea

While Li Huamu was still painfully copying the extra homework, Lexington and his group of twelve were sailing on the rough sea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's a pity that Lexington you can't fly at night, otherwise you wouldn't have to be so troublesome." Rodney said regretfully to Lexington in the middle of the line.

"It's true that it makes people lazy at home, but I'll strengthen these training in the future." Lexington has basically not done any training in the days since he was called into this world, so let alone flying at night, even his actions during the day are not very good.

It was night, unlike during the day when there were Lexington fighter planes scouting, so except for Rodney, Sullivan, and Eskimo, who were in charge of the guard, the other five scattered to the perimeter of the team to form a pentagram to defend.

"Fireflies, you have to report information regularly, even if there is no situation." Rodney, who was in charge of the evening command, again explained to the five men in the outer defense.

"Understood!" "Clear!" "Don't worry!"

I have to say that heart-to-heart communication is indeed a more convenient way than electronic communication, but the problem of consuming alpha energy during communication does limit the frequency of use of weak ships.

When the team advanced to one o'clock in the evening, Supply Mother 667 said to Lexington: "Ms. Lexington, you are going to enter the deep sea patrol range from now on, please be careful. ”

"Hmm." Lexington said he had heard the news, and then said to Rodney: "Now we are about 400 kilometers ahead, and there are about 400 kilometers left." ”

"Would you like to trim it up a bit, then?" Rodney asked Lexington, "If we continue to sail at the current speed of fifteen knots, we should be able to reach Longming Island by tomorrow evening, but the others may not be in such a good state." ”

And the 667 supply lady also said after hearing Rodney's words: "If you want to rest, there is a series of islands and reefs scattered more than thirty kilometers to the east, but they will deviate from the course. ”

After thinking about it, Lexington decided to take a break first, she and Rodney naturally had no problem, but the other ship girls may be a little mentally unfocused.

"Then 667, you lead the way, Rodney tells the Fireflies to change course." Lexington gave instructions to his subordinates that belonged to the flagship.

"Understood! Now, then, sail 45 degrees to the east. "From 667's quick response, it can be seen that these supply ship girls must have rested in this place many times.

And Tianlong and his party, who received Rodney's notice, also said happily: "Great! It's finally time to take a break! It's been a long day of sailing, and it's so boring that I want to sleep. ”

So Rodney and his party booked to spend the night in the unnamed reefs.

And the security work when everyone was resting was naturally in the hands of the three hundred-level ship girls, but the fireflies didn't support it for long before they wanted to fall asleep, so Rodney called her back to the temporary rest place to rest as soon as possible.

"It seems that if you want to sail in the real sea, you really have to get used to it." Lexington was watching over a group of sleeping shipwives as he communicated with Rodney, who was stationed a hundred meters away.

"So the Admiral's decision this time is not wrong, and we need to really deal with these practical problems. It is far from enough to rest in a seventeen-hour voyage like the present. Rodney now understands what the fatal flaw of Li Huamu's fleet is, that is, the overly relaxed mentality.

Not to mention the half-asleep fireflies now, even the two pillars of Rodney and Lexington are a little unsuitable for long voyages.

"Then we have to train well, it's just an ordinary voyage now, if we march in a hurry and then fight, I guess we won't be able to adapt to it for the time being." Lexington said solemnly.

"Anyway, let's get used to it now, after all, these are not things that can be practiced in a day or two." Rodney sighed, after all, it was simply unimaginable for her to be a battleship girl who couldn't fight because she was tired.

"I don't know how they're doing in South Dakota right now...... Lexington suddenly remembered his ten companions who were struggling in the waterspout.

Rodney was also stunned when he heard Lexington's nostalgic tone, and then said slowly: "If that Inspector Lee is really as strong as you say, then they must be much ahead of us!" ”

It's not a pleasant thing for me to lose to Kaga Akagi. Lexington naturally remembered his old rivals of the same period.

"We're going to get up too! It can't be repaired tomorrow, and the task must be completed by the third day. ”

At six o'clock in the morning, a faint light refracted from the horizon, and Lexington, who had had been sleepless all night, began to wake everyone up.

"All up! It's about to begin! ”

In less than half an hour, all the shipwives were ready to set off.

Lexington turned his back to the light and assigned the group today's forward formation: "Eskimos and Sullivan continue to be responsible for protecting the supply ship in the center of the team. Omaha is in charge of the front, Tenryu and Z-1 are in charge of the right wing, Tatsuda and Firefly are in charge of the left wing, and Rodney is in charge of the back. The whole team marched towards Longming Island at a speed of fifteen knots! ”

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

"Then let's go right away!"

Although the whole team maintained a pace of fifteen quarters, Omaha who was in charge of the front line was obviously faster, because she was responsible for the underwater detective work back and forth.

Lexington also released eight warplanes for aerial reconnaissance, so that the area of sub-reconnaissance could reach 30 square kilometers.

It wasn't long before Omaha, who was in possession of a modified sonar, discovered an anomaly.

"Flagship! An anomaly was found underwater a kilometer ahead! ”

Lexington immediately instructed the team to reduce their speed and issued an order to Omaha: "Keep monitoring!" ”

"Report the flagship! The target with strong reflections is moving towards you! Probably the deep sea! Omaha reported the not-so-good news in a matter of seconds.

Lexington immediately decided: "The whole team adopts a defensive formation!" ”

As soon as the order was given, the six Lexingtons in the center immediately turned and retreated to the rear, while Rodney accelerated towards the front, and Ohama joined up with the two Dragons on the right flank.

And just as the team was changing formations, eight figures full of negativity suddenly appeared on the sea.

Lexington looked at these eight figures, and after sensing through the alpha energy, he did not immediately release the remaining fighters, but said to Rodney: "Rodney, let's not interfere for now, let them try to fight enemies of the same level." ”
