That night, Li Ran discussed with everyone for a while and decided to let Lexington take everyone back to the garrison first, while he and Richelieu went to pick up the dream. Of course, this decision was opposed by other ship girls, until Li Ran promised many

After making the promise, everyone reluctantly agreed.

It's not that Li Ran doesn't want to take everyone with him, it's just that the cost of having so many people on the road is a lot of money, and he doesn't have much money on him.

The purpose of coming out this time was just to take him back to the Soviet Union. Li Ran never expected to find so many ship girls, so Lexington had to plan his next trip carefully.

Despite the fact that the Soviet Union opened a bar and could barely break even with the help of trust, Richelieu's remuneration as a mercenary was optimistic, but most of the money was used by her to buy luxury goods.

The same goes for Fletcher. Although he has some money saved, Li Ran can't open his mouth anyway, and besides, that little money is not enough to cover the expenses of so many people.

Not to mention Leipzig, it's okay if she doesn't mention money, but she will die when money is mentioned, and she even puts on an attitude of asking for money without risking her life.

Based on the above factors, Li Ran and Richelieu parted ways with everyone at noon the next day.

…

In the cabin, Richelieu sat upright on a chair with his command knife in his arms.

"Don't be so serious. This is not the front line. There won't be any danger." Seeing Richelieu's vigilant expression, Li Ran couldn't help but joked: "Besides, we have been out for so many days, something would have happened long ago.

."

Stare~!

After slowly looking at his admiral, Richelieu licked his lips but did not relax.

"I am the only one who can protect the admiral now, so we can't relax!" Richelieu tightened the command knife in his arms and felt that the burden on him was so heavy.

"Hey, don't you worry about other people when you go out alone?" After thinking about it, Li Ran simply sat down opposite Richelieu.

"Don't worry, Jeanne d'Arc and Al are at home." Richelieu looked up at Li Ran's eyes and replied: "Besides, Vauquelin is usually very obedient, but he just wants to be naughty."

"Al?!"

Blinking his eyes, Li Ran didn't remember who Al was for a moment.

"Al is Algeria."

Seeing this, Richelieu hurriedly added: "Al is an excellent heavy cruiser girl. During my absence, she and Jeanne took care of everyone."

"Is that so?!"

"Hmm~!"

Nodding, Richelieu returned to his alert state again.

Ha~!

Li Ran reached out and patted his mouth, and Li Ran yawned lazily.

"Admiral, if you are sleepy, go to bed first. I will always be by your side."

"I'm not sleepy, I'm just too bored." Li Ran waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do. Let's play cards."

"No, I still want to protect the admiral."

Although she was very moved, Richelieu still refused Li Ran's invitation. After finally finding the admiral, she didn't want to make the same mistake again.

"Don't worry, nothing happened for so long. I don't believe there will be an accident when we get home soon." Li Ran waved his hand carelessly, and Li Ran looked indifferent.

"But?!"

Just as Richelieu was about to say something, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded, and the speed of the passenger ship also slowed down.

"Admiral, be careful."

Richelieu suddenly stood up from the chair and held the command knife in his hand.

"No, I still have a crow's mouth?!" Li Ran slapped his mouth in confusion, and Li Ran didn't know what to say.

Other passengers came out of the cabin one after another to ask what happened.

"Come on, let's go to the deck and take a look."

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, Li Ran simply led Richelieu to the deck.

"Master, why has the ship slowed down?" Li Ran stopped a crew member and looked at the sea curiously.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, there were no clouds in the sky, and there was nothing wrong on the sea. Li Ran really couldn't figure out why the passenger ship was slowing down.

The crew member replied casually: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal."

After that, the crew member hurriedly left, bypassing Li Ran.

"Something's wrong, very wrong."

Li Ran touched his chin with one hand, thinking deeply.

"Admiral, this man is lying. His expression was very frightened just now. Something must have happened here." Half a body behind Li Ran, Richelieu said softly.

Seeing that Richelieu also said the same, Li Ran nodded and said firmly: "Well, I feel the same way. Can you tell me what the situation was that made the ship react like this."

As he spoke, Li Ran's eyes brightened.

The most feared thing on the ocean is natural and man-made disasters, but looking at the current weather, it doesn't look like a natural disaster.

"Do you think they discovered the deep sea?"

Squinting his eyes and looking around, Li Ran slowly expressed his guess.

"deep sea?!"

Raising his head suddenly, Richelieu wanted to unfold his ship's equipment.

"There's no rush, let's ask clearly first." He grabbed Richelieu's hand to signal her to calm down, and Li Ran led Richelieu to the cab.

…

"Who are you and how did you get in?" In the cab, the bearded captain raised his head and looked at the man and woman who suddenly broke into the cab in surprise.

"I…."

Li Ran opened his mouth and just wanted to introduce himself when the bearded captain shouted: "What do you do for a living? You actually let two irrelevant people break in here. Why don't you get them out quickly?"

After hearing the captain's words, the two sailors hurriedly dropped what they were doing and ran towards Li Ran.

With one step, Richelieu stood in front of Li Ran.

"It's okay, let me solve it."

Patting Richelieu on the shoulder to calm him down, Li Ran took out his admiral's certificate and said, "I am an admiral, and this is my ship's wife. Have you discovered any traces of the deep sea?"

The two sailors who were coming over were startled and stopped in a hurry.

"Are you really the admiral?"

The bearded man came over quickly, looking excited.

"I don't think anyone dares to pretend to be an admiral." Li Ran opened the certificate in his hand and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, no one dares to pretend."

The bearded captain nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, his eyes always staring at Li Ran's admiral certificate.

Snap~!

After showing it for a while, Li Ran put the certificate away and asked, "Now, can you tell me the truth?"

"Ok, Ok!"

Squeezing out a smile, the bearded captain respectfully welcomed Li Ran to the workbench and said, "Sir, Admiral, we did find two suspected deep-sea creatures."

"Suspected of deep sea?!"

Li Ran scratched his head and was confused.

This is the first time he has heard the word "suspected deep sea". If it is a deep sea, it is a deep sea. If it is not, it is not. There is no doubt about it.

"It's like this. There were two figures passing right in front of us just now. We tried to contact them through the public channel, but we never got a response, so everyone guessed whether it was the deep sea."

"Is that so?!"

Li Ran touched his chin, thoughtfully.

Logically speaking, the ship girls will respond to this kind of contact, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.

"Then have you seen their appearance clearly?"

After thinking about it, Li Ran couldn't analyze whether the other party was Deep Sea, so he had to continue questioning.
