In front of Li Lan and Ning Hai, the destroyer Z16, who was still waiting for orders with a serious expression in the last second, completely collapsed in the next second.

"Z16 already—don't you have to put it on?"

“…… Ha? "Dazed Lilan.

“…… Huh? "Puzzled Ning Hai.

"Uh-huh~~~~~~~~~~~--!!" Stretching his waist widely, Z16 saluted Lilan again (it was still crooked, and it was even more crooked) and said: "Destroyer, Z16 reports to you ~ Hello Admiral~"

Without waiting for Li Lan's reaction, he suddenly saw Ning Hai beside Li Lan: "Ah, it turns out that Ning Hai sauce is also here~"

"No ......" Li Lan looked at Z1 who trotted over and grabbed Ning Hai's arm, and felt that the central processing mechanism of his brain was a little insufficient for a while.

"Ti, Admiral, ......"

Ning Hai, who was grabbed by Z16's arm, had a frightened expression on his face at the moment, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only turn his eyes for help to Lilan, who was still confused.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

Didn't you say a good sister, how do you look more like a sister......

"Ahem, anyway - let's explain the situation first......"

"Yes~"

―――――― Split ――――――

Repeating what he said to Ning Hai a few days ago to Z16, who was looking around curiously, and then ......

“…… That's about it."

"Oh~ Is that the builder here? It looks like it's ordinary~"

A blue veil appeared on his forehead: "...... If you have any questions—"

"When did Ning Hai Chan come to this town guard mansion?"

"Eh, ......" glanced at Li Lan worriedly, and Ning Hai replied honestly: "Just about a week ago......"

"Really? Does Ninghai sauce have-"

The cross on his forehead popped out, and Lilan muttered to himself, "Okay, doesn't the tiger treat me like a sick cat......

Three minutes later.

"Ahem, let's move on"

"Uh......h Lord Admiral is so rude, it's the first time for people to do it."

“……”

"Lord Admiral, was he so rude to Ning Hai Sauce before?"

"That, that, Lord Admiral, he's never ......"

“……”

That's enough!

―――――― Split ――――――

Whew, looking at the Z16 with teary eyes and pressing the hat on his head, Li Lan felt much more comfortable psychologically.

Hiss...... It's worthy of being a ship mother, and it still hurts.

Putting his reddened right hand behind his back, Rilan put on that serious expression again: "In order to build the Z16, we have basically invested all the resources we can invest, so if we can't get enough resources in the next sortie, it's not just me, but you."

"I guess I can only stay in this bird honestly - cough cough, it's this wilderness and mountains that are eating and waiting to die, so do you understand the seriousness of the matter?!" Although it was a question to the two ship girls, Li Lan's eyes never left the Z16.

"Yes, Admiral!" Ning Hai's answer was as concise and clear as ever.

"Uh......h Z16 got ......"

…… Is it true that such a reluctant person will put a cold gun on himself in the back when he is fighting?

Lelan was deeply skeptical.

"Okay, that's all the business, let's go for the private ......"

Whatever the reason, it is estimated that we will need to go through a difficult period together, and it is necessary to have a good relationship.

"My name is Li Lan, and my identity is the Admiral according to what you say, and this is Ning Hai - you should know me?"

"Of course I know~Ninghai sauce~" Before Ning Hai had time to react, Z16, who was resurrected with full blood on the spot, pounced directly, hugged Ning Hai and kept rubbing her face: "By the way, since Ninghai sauce is here, what about Pinghai sauce?" ”

Sure enough,

Lilan covered her face with one hand.

She hadn't even listened to anything before!

"Eh...... Now it's just the Admiral, and I--ah, don't touch there."

Well, in addition to being overly self-cooked and not liking to listen to people, Lilan has discovered a bad habit of Z16.

Bastard, even he just saw a little bit when he was inadvertently - ahem, gaffe.

―――――― Split ――――――

"Smack"

"Woo......"

"Smack"

"Ahh

"Smack"

"Lord Admiral......"

"Smack"

"Lord Admiral, Z16 will never dare to ...... again"

It feels pretty good, and it should have hit here in the first place.

After letting go of Z16's palm, the strange look in Ning Hai next to him made Li Lan a little embarrassed.

But it's just a hand-to-hand hand, you can use it like this. You must know that the effect of force is mutual, and compared to your exaggerated resilience and defense, it hurts me the most......

I'm so tired.

Looking at the sky, Lilan was so stirred up by Z16 that he had no intention of continuing to speak, but it was better to say that even if he continued to talk in this situation, Z16 could hear how much.

In short, before solving these "bad habits" of Z16, it is better to honestly stock up on resources and prepare for future actions.

"That's it for the time being" Rubbing his eyebrows, Li Lan said distressedly: "Ning Hai will take Z16 to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment first, and don't go over to the east coast and north coast, my words ......"

"Let's go see if there's anything left."

Although it is unlikely that the infrastructure attached to the town guard mansion explained by Ning Hai is intact, it is still possible to find it if it is just a wreckage, not to mention that the metals soaked in sea water on the west coast alone are very likely to be one of them.

Perhaps, the reason why the Ninghai ship appeared from there in the first place is because of this.

"By the way, Z16 your ship...... Where ......"

Facing the empty grass, the corners of Lilan's eyes twitched, suppressing the tumbling emotions in his heart.

He could already be sure of one thing.

Destroyer Z16, in addition to her body shape, she is a schoolboy in appearance, and even her personality is at the level of a schoolboy!

As a last resort, Reichan had to head to the West Coast first, and if his guess was correct, the Z16 ships would also be there.

"Then again...... I don't even know if she's searching for a specialty......"

West Coast.

The destroyer Z16, 119.3 meters long, 11.3 meters wide, 4 meters waterline, standard displacement of 1625 tons, is currently equipped with 1 137 mm main gun, 2 37 mm rapid-fire guns, and her speed is more exaggerated - 38.2 knots.

At this speed, as long as the distance is sufficient, it is almost invincible, and the reason why there is a premise of "opening the distance" is entirely because of the extremely unscientific attack distance of those deep-sea habitat ships.

Relatively speaking, the defense of the Z16 is much worse than that of Ninghai, and I am afraid that it will not even be able to withstand firearms exceeding 30 mm by relying on the thickness of the armor alone, let alone those terrifying super shells.

If Ninghai was hit head-on by the super shells of the deep-sea habitat ship, and the result was a bombardment in two, then the Z16 was the life of "broken bones", probably that's how those "wreckage" on the east coast came from......
