"In other words," Listening to Akagi's explanation, Rilan's brows furrowed.

The current situation is even more tricky than he imagined at the beginning: "Now we have to solve the radiation problem on their bodies first?" ”

looked at Rilan hesitantly, and finally Akagi said: "Akagi doesn't recommend you to do this"

"Huh?"

"I don't know why you won't be affected by radiation, but if you stay with us......"

Lilan already understood what she wanted to say, and replied directly at the moment: "The same words will be returned to you, although I don't know what kind of mentality you have to make me give up, but-"

"Not only the sixth town guard, but also the seventh town guard, my ship's mother also has three lying here."

Z16, Hibiki, and Eugen.

As the ship's mother who acted together with the third mine team and the fourth mine team, the damage they suffered in the nuclear explosion was not much lighter than that of the other ships, and they are also in a coma at present.

"Alright, I'll figure it out myself" Putting an end to the unpleasant topic, Lilan looked at the relay station behind him, which was the size of two Sixth Town Guards.

"Are there any resources or facilities left here?"

“…… Only one facility"

"What is it?"

"The Disintegration Room"

In the 300-year history of the first nuclear bomb exploded on the battlefield and the surviving shipwrewn was found to be infected with radiation, the disintegration room has become one of the essential facilities for most of the town guards.

Dismantling the infected shipwreckage not only solves the problem of dealing with it, but also provides a lot of resources - compared to the astronomical amount of resources that cost 100 years, these are simply two extremes.

Akagi's instructions for the use of the Dismantling Room didn't make Rilan feel any anger, he just asked lightly, "How big is it?" ”

"Including me, it can accommodate all types of ship girls"

"Very well, bring Saratoga over and tear it down, those resources should be enough for an emergency repair."

―――――― Split ――――――

Including Island Wind, Akagi, Saratoga, and the current ability to stay awake and the Sixth Destroyer's Thunder, Den, Xiao, Hibiki, and Ninghai, the Seventh Town's Guard, a total of eight ship girls.

The only ones that can act are Shimakaze, Akagi, and Saratoga, a prototype destroyer plus a prototype aircraft carrier, and a replica of an aircraft carrier of unknown rank.

These three ships alone are completely capable of crushing the intact Seventh Town Guard Mansion in the hands of the two Lilan.

To some extent, the strength of Lilan's hands has been strengthened?

It's just that, if he can, he would rather hold on to his one-third of an acre and develop slowly than this kind of "adventure" with heavy losses.

Not to mention, the enormous work that needs to be carried out afterwards......

The next day, after a night of the roar of carrier-based aircraft and the sound of missiles falling and exploding, Akagi and Saratoga brought back the "disintegration room" in the early morning.

Close to 300 units of steel resources.

and close to 40 units of aluminum.

It seems to be a lot, but after hearing the consumption of Akagi's expedition, Rilan directly erased this judgment.

"Are you sure it's not 20, 30, but 50?"

"Yes" Akagi's state at this time was completely different from usual, her drifting eyes and vague words all showed her current embarrassing state of mind: "30 units of fuel, ammunition, and...... 50 units of aluminum"

“……”

The resources obtained from a joint expedition are not enough for her to consume.

"Well, this issue is on hold for now, we have to sort out the situation before deciding on the next move"

Looking around at the ship girl sitting in front of you, from left to right are Ninghai, Thunder, Lightning, Xiao, Hibiki, Island Wind, Akagi, and Saratoga.

"According to the current situation, most of the shipwresses are dispatched in some way, so it is impossible to continue to maintain the original establishment."

Another important reason is that maintaining the original structure reminds them of what happened to them in the Sixth Town Guard.

Although it is not said on the surface, except that Ning Hai may not have any big problems because of the different affiliations, the other ship girls, including Akagi, are definitely not so insipid about this "betrayal" on the surface, but they have not shown it because of the current crisis.

"So I decided to reorganize the fleet formation...... Is that possible? ”

The atmosphere fell into a semi-stagnant state for a short time, but fortunately, Akagi quickly expressed his support: "I agree, a perfect establishment can increase the efficiency of the execution of the task"

"Ninghai has no opinion"

"Gaga didn't ...... either"

"The island wind is okay"

In the end, only four of the Sixth Expulsion Team remained.

“…… Thunder sauce? ”

"Electric sauce, we all support you"

"You're our flagship?"

“Xopowo”

In the end, the hesitation and uneasiness in the electric eyes dissipated little by little: "The sixth expulsion - no, the destroyer thunder, lightning, dawn, sound, there is no opinion. ”

It may be painful, it may be sad, but in the present moment, when we are powerless to resist, the only thing that can be done is to accept it, and then try to be strong - to resist another sadness in the future.

The original Sixth Destroyer Squadron was dispersed, and Ray and Den joined the Fifth Fleet, which was the air fleet where Saratoga and Akagi were located, and together with Shimakaze, temporarily formed a new First Fleet.

This is a decision made when most of the shipwives are not able to go out on the expedition, and the formation will have to be adjusted when the other shipwrecks recover, but in the next difficult period that can be expected, the first fleet, which is full of high speed and two prototype ships, will exist as the main fleet, responsible for most of the expedition and resource gathering tasks.

Xiao Hexiang and Ning Hai formed the Second Fleet, which was mainly responsible for patrolling and guarding near the relay station.

"That's pretty much it, if you have any other ideas you can bring up"

glanced at each other, and in the end, it was still Akagi who spoke: "What about you, Lord Admiral?" ”

"Me?" Li Lan was stunned, and then said indifferently: "There is no repair cabin, daily maintenance and replacement of corroded parts can only be carried out by manpower, and if necessary, I will also accompany the expedition......"

"That's not what we meant, Admiral......"

Ning Hai on the left grabbed Li Lan's cuffs: "Lord Admiral...... Should get out of here."

"Leave?"

No matter how he thought about it, Li Lan didn't expect Ning Hai to say that.

At the moment, his brows furrowed deeply: "Why do you want to leave?" ”

"If it's Shimakaze, give her all our resources, she should be able to reach the outpost on the Northern Continent before it runs out, and if the Admiral can get help from there—"

"You're saying a good thing," he said, glancing appreciatively at Akagi, "but it doesn't make sense." ”

First, who can be sure that the outpost was not evacuated like the relay station?

Second, who can ensure that Island Wind will not encounter deep-sea dwelling ships on the way?

Thirdly, who can guarantee that during the period of Relan's departure, the shipwrew, who has lost all its resources, will not happen to encounter the fleet of deep-sea habitat ships?

Fourth, and most importantly, this is the point.

"As I said at the beginning, I can't guarantee that you'll survive forever in this long battle with the deep-sea dwelling ship, but at least - at the moment you sink, you won't be alone."
