Is this something a submarine can do?

While the ship girls were still in a daze, the ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils was the first to react. She immediately put on a very serious look and shouted loudly.

"Quick!!! Something's wrong, retreat! We're entering that submarine's attack range!!!"

Submarines may be fragile, but they are incredibly lethal!

Even for anti-submarine ship girls, it's terrifying to let a submarine get close!

However, even this quick-thinking ship girl reacted too late.

In the instant the ship girls were stunned, the tiny submarine reaction had already reached a short distance away from them—logically speaking, this distance was still outside the attack range of the submarine enemy.

But it seemed that the attack range of this strange submarine unit had also increased. Before the ship girls could dodge and retreat, it had already launched a torpedo attack from underwater, shooting straight towards the ship girls.

This torpedo was aimed directly at the light carrier girl.

The light carrier girl immediately dodged.

However, the torpedo seemed to have eyes, following the light carrier girl as she spun around, and then, like a magnet, it shot out to the light carrier girl's feet and exploded.

boom!

The sound was like the main gun of a battleship hitting its target.

The light carrier girl's body was blown away in an instant, and white ship equipment fragments scattered like rain. She landed on the water not far away with a splatter, her body charred black. Her clothes suddenly caught fire, and her snow-white skin was stained with black oil. A thin green protective film symbolized that the heavy damage protection had been activated.

One blow, instant kill!

The ship girls present turned pale as they saw their teammates, who were lively and energetic just a moment ago, suddenly become severely damaged and stunned.

Then, to their horror, they discovered that the mysterious submarine beneath the surface had casually launched another torpedo at their group.

Chapter 3583 Good news, they escaped; bad news, they went to the wrong map.

The ship girls present no longer had time to marvel at the terrifying power of the submarine torpedo they had just seen. They simply watched as the second torpedo sliced ​​through the water and hurtled toward them, their faces drained of color in an instant.

"run!!!"

“Get out of the way!!!”

The ship girls screamed and fled in all directions for their lives.

swoosh————

The deadly torpedo narrowly missed the ship girls' hulls, speeding past them.

The torpedo disappeared from the ship girls' sight.

boom! ! !

A huge explosion came from afar, as if the battleship ship girls were venting their firepower and anger.

The ship girls, desperately dodging, fell onto the water, their pupils trembling as they watched the flames rise in the distance along with the explosion.

The first feeling that arose in the hearts of the ship girls was—thankfulness.

Given the immense power of the submarine torpedo, they believed that if their dodge had been slightly delayed, and a part of their body, even a small part of their little toe, had touched the torpedo, their fate would likely have been no better than that of the light carrier squadron that had been severely damaged in one hit.

However, the feeling of relief had just begun to emerge in the hearts of the ship girls when they were suddenly jolted awake by extreme panic!

Because, through their sonar equipment, they could clearly sense that the enemy submarine that had just launched two torpedo attacks at them had no intention of leaving and was even continuing to approach them!

OMG!

The submarine's attack range was already beyond that of a conventional submarine, yet its torpedoes were so accurate that they almost hit our group as we fled in panic... If it were to actually enter attack range, would we still be able to dodge?

The ship girls tumbled and scrambled to their feet from the water.

At this point, they no longer had any thought of fighting this mysterious submarine enemy. All they wanted now was to escape. The sea was no longer safe, and they needed to get back to the safe shore as soon as possible and return to their admiral's side.

The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils gritted her teeth and ran to a nearby spot. She came to her light carrier teammate who was heavily damaged and unconscious, quickly bent down, put her teammate's arm on her shoulder, and then dragged her body back to the center of the squad.

"Run! Run! Run! Don't look back!!!"

The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils of war, her face pale, shouted to her teammates.

The teammates were also startled and immediately ran off in one direction without looking back.

The ship girl responsible for collecting the spoils carried her teammates back to the fleet, and as soon as she returned, the entire fleet's speed increased once again.

As the entire fleet rapidly sailed away from the original sea surface, the ship girls responsible for collecting the spoils finally relaxed and revealed expressions of relief.

That submarine was really weird...

Submarine enemies, aren't they perfectly countered by anti-submarine ship girls?

A regular submarine enemy is considered highly skilled if it can dodge an anti-submarine attack even once. I've never encountered a submarine enemy that can successfully dodge eight times in a row against a squadron of ship girls equipped with full anti-submarine weapons... If someone had said something like that to me in the past, I probably would have burst out laughing on the spot, thinking they were just trying to amuse me...

Unexpectedly, this situation actually exists in real life...

Thinking of this, the ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils bit her lip and glanced at her companions.

At this moment, the ship girls in the squad were all running away in silence. They had actually sailed far away from the sea area they had just been in, but everything they had just encountered still left them shaken.

yes……

As anti-submarine ship girls, this was the first time they had suffered such a crushing defeat at the hands of an enemy submarine...

I bet everyone in the team is questioning their existence right now.

As they moved further away from the sea, the anti-submarine team gradually slowed down.

"Fortunately, although the submarine enemy was very strange, at least as long as our speed is still much greater than the submarine's, we can keep the submarine enemy alive no matter how powerful it is..."

The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils noticed the somewhat somber atmosphere in the group and was about to speak to ease the tension.

But at that very moment, all the ship girls in the anti-submarine squad, including the ones responsible for collecting the spoils, suddenly widened their eyes and shuddered.

The ship girls' sonar devices... are reacting again!

They all turned around to look behind them, their faces filled with astonishment and shock.

On the sea behind them, a shadow seemed to be relentlessly pursuing them.

"Wh...what??? She caught up with us???"

"A submarine can actually catch up with a warship?!?"

"Ahhhhh???"

"Help, help me, help me!!!"

This sudden turn of events terrified the ship girls in the anti-submarine squad, who were still recovering from the earlier impact, causing them to burst into tears.

What the hell!

She evaded anti-submarine attacks eight times in a row, was able to launch torpedoes from outside the attack range, and the torpedoes were so powerful that they could kill a ship girl in one hit. Even more terrifyingly, her underwater speed could actually catch up with that of a surface warship?!

Is there any justice?

This is a monster, this is a monster, right?

Our ship girls have lived a life of good deeds, how could we be so unlucky as to encounter such a monster enemy?!

The ship girls were terrified and turned pale. They dared not look back again and continued to drive forward with all their might, as if their lives depended on it.

The ship girls had no idea how long they had been running.

They only remember running and crying, trembling with fear, the wind whistling past their ears, and waves crashing against their bodies.

Finally, amidst the ship girls' frantic pursuit, the enemy submarine that had been chasing them seemed to give up the chase, gradually disappearing from the ship girls' sonar devices.

The ship girls didn't dare slow down; they just kept pushing their ship equipment to move at full speed for a while longer, until the ship equipment got too hot and their bodies were exhausted, before they finally stopped, panting heavily.

"Ha...ha, that...that 'thing' just now...didn't...didn't catch up, did it?"

The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils stared wide-eyed, panting heavily with sweat streaming down her face, and asked her companions.

"No, that's all... The submarine's speed didn't seem to be much faster than the warship. It chased us for a while, but when it realized it couldn't catch up, it... let us go..." The other crew members answered, clutching their wildly beating hearts.

"Terrifying... There are submarines this fast in the world... The deep-sea technology is just too much..." The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils let out a long sigh. She bent over, letting the sweat drip from her brow onto the water. "We made a huge mistake this time... When the call to return to port was sounded, we shouldn't have stayed to fish with explosives. We... we must have broken some rules and were punished for encountering that strange thing..."

"..." The surrounding ship girls had complicated expressions. They looked at their charred light carrier comrade being carried by the ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils of war, and recalling what she had said before, they all nodded in agreement, "Yes, that makes sense..."

"Let's rest for a while and recover our strength. Once we've recovered, let's head back quickly. We need to bring back the news from the surface..." The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils of war said weakly.

The other ship girls were just about to nod.

Suddenly, the rich aura of the deep sea enveloped them without their realizing it.

The ship girls, who had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up again unconsciously.

"Deep-sea scent???"

"What? The submarine has caught up again???" the ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils of war exclaimed in shock.

"No, no, when that submarine enemy appeared, there wasn't such a strong deep-sea aura around us!" his companions shouted.

"Ah... well, that's good. As long as it wasn't that weird submarine..." The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as we don't face that kind of monster, anything is fine..."

The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils of war spoke, her gaze shifting to what was behind her.

then.

She stood there, stunned, her mouth agape.

Behind the anti-submarine squad, on the dark and boundless water, several towering deep-sea fortresses stood like hills. The cold steel bars and iron plates were shrouded in a thick deep-sea aura like smoke. Deep-sea battleships and deep-sea aircraft carriers surrounded the deep-sea fortresses, and the sky was filled with buzzing deep-sea carrier-based aircraft. Within the curtain of the dark deep-sea aura, countless blood-red eyes flashed with a ferocious light that seemed to want to devour people.

The anti-submarine squad consists of six ship girls, including submarines and light cruisers. The only light carrier with air superiority capabilities was just wiped out in a single battle.

At this moment, the five ship girls and one damaged companion looked like six lambs who had wandered into a pack of wolves in front of this dark mass of deep-sea enemies.

The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils was completely dumbfounded.

"When we were being chased by the enemy submarines just now... were we... were we following the map?" The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils murmured, staring blankly ahead as she looked at the scene before her. "Did we... avoid the dangerous areas where the Abyssal Fleet is located?"

"..." None of the ship girls present responded.

However, the answer seems to be clear.

The ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils suddenly seemed to have all her strength drained away, and turned to look at her teammates.

"……run……"

Before the ship girl in charge of collecting the spoils could even speak...

The next moment, bombs rained down from the sky like thunder. The roars of the deep-sea creatures turned into thunder. The net of shells showed no mercy despite the disparity in strength between the anti-submarine squad and the enemy. The overwhelming and terrifying offensive was like a giant wave that instantly engulfed the frail bodies and ship equipment of the anti-submarine squad's ship girls.

It was like a herd of hungry beasts charging at a flock of sheep.

Chapter 3584 Little White's Bet

On the top floor of the Admiral's Guild, in the main office hall.

It was nearing afternoon.

Xiaobai had just seen Chao Yamato off in the lounge. She put on her socks and shoes and slowly returned to her office to handle some official business when Iohua happened to appear carrying a document and bumped into her.

"oops!"

Xiao Bai was knocked back two steps by Iowa, and his butt hit the desk.

"Oh dear, Admiral." Iowa saw Xiaobai and immediately gave him an apologetic look. "I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you were back. Were you hurt?"

"Hmm...it's okay, my butt is still pretty fleshy." Xiaobai rubbed her butt, then looked at Iowa who was smiling obsequiously at her, and curiously sized her up. "...Iowa, how are you doing? You seem a bit anxious, is there some trouble at the guild?"

"Admiral, you are wise." Iowa didn't seem to intend to hide anything from Xiaobai. She nodded while holding the documents. "Actually, I just came back from downstairs and was just about to come and see you, Admiral."

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiaobai jumped down from the desk and looked at Iowa curiously. "We're almost off work, why are you in such a rush... Is there some urgent trouble at the guild?"

“It can’t be said that it’s the Admiral’s Guild’s fault.” Iowa shook her head and handed the document in her hand to Xiaobai. “Admiral, it’s like this. Just now, we received a request for help from an admiral who was on a mission to the 8-2 sea area. He said that his squadron of ship girls had lost track of them at sea and requested our search and rescue and assistance.”

"Huh? What just happened?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

“Yes.” Iowa said, handing the document to Xiaobai. “Originally, these kinds of missing ship girls were handled by Miss Yingying, but Miss Yingying is on leave today, so the admiral has to handle it.”

"Oh, I see. Let me see."

Xiao Bai took the document from Yi Ahua and opened it to take a look.

The documents in Iowa contained information about the six ship girls who went missing at sea, as well as a series of information such as the time and location provided by the admiral who reported the incident.

“Hmm, it’s an anti-submarine ship girl squad.” Xiaobai turned her gaze back to Iowa and said, “To disappear at this time, they probably went missing on their way back to shore after fishing. Due to some special circumstances, they accidentally entered waters occupied by a large deep-sea fleet and were left behind because of insufficient combat power. The guild’s search and rescue team should have already set off after receiving the alarm, right? If we have them investigate the fishing locations this anti-submarine ship girl squad usually uses, and the dangerous waters along the way back to port, they should be able to find their trail. Hmm, I imagine the dangerous waters along this route that could harbor an anti-submarine fleet are probably areas B12, C7, and C16. The deep-sea fleets in these three dangerous waters are quite large. Even an ordinary naval base’s main ship with full combat equipment would be in trouble if it accidentally wandered in, let alone an anti-submarine squad.”

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he handed the documents in his hand to Iowa.

Iowa took the document and stood there, staring at Xiaobai in a daze.
