Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

"No."

Akagi replied decisively:

"This island is not within the scope of the experimental site. There will definitely not be any strange weapons used here. What's more, there have been no wars that could endanger the mainland in recent years. The islands in this area are all safe."

"is it?"

Yang Sikang frowned slightly. The soil contained a smell that made him a little uneasy. It was very similar to the smell of certain pollutants mixed into the soil that he had studied before.

"Is there something wrong with these mushrooms?"

Akagi asked.

Yang Sikang thought for a while and shook his head.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong with the mushrooms themselves. Maybe I just made a mistake. But for safety reasons, I still want to take a look."

"Take Akashi with you."

Akagi said without hesitation:

"Although Akashi is not good at fighting, he can still come in handy for such chores."

"no problem."

Yang Sikang originally had this intention. After all, this is Chongying's territory. If there is any problem, it would be more appropriate to have Chongying's ship girl as a witness.

In terms of ability, Akashi is also very suitable for this.

He got the location where these mushrooms were collected from Minneapolis, and then Wichita led him. Because of Akagi's order, Akashi also followed, and Javelin also followed.

Yang Sikang told Belfast and the others not to cook the mushrooms in a hurry, and then followed Wichita to the location where they found the mushrooms.

"It's right here. Most of the mushrooms are found here."

Arriving at the target location, Yang Sikang looked around.

It is not far from the stream, and there is a depression even closer, with a lot of water in it. There were many fallen trees around. It looked like they had fallen for a long time. They were covered with lichen and other fungi, and many mushrooms grew from them.

The humus formed by the fallen leaves here is not very thick, and is much thinner than other places around it.

Yang Sikang tried to search according to his own knowledge, and he was able to find a lot of mushroom nests.

"But is there anything strange about these things?"

Wichita opened a pile of fallen leaves, squatted down, smelled them and frowned.

"It smells so bad. Isn't it the same smell after the branches and leaves rot?"

"The smell after rotting of different things is not exactly the same, and there is a pungent smell mixed with some chemicals. But the smell is very light, and I am not sure if it is what I think it is, but I hope it is not. "

"Hmm~"

Wichita listened absently, but did not take Yang Sikang's words too seriously.

In her opinion, the places where mushrooms grow are probably similar. If Minneapolis hadn't led them to find various kinds of mushrooms before, she would probably be even more indifferent to these things.

What's more, the physical fitness of ship girls is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Yang Sikang had no scruples about this matter at all. Regarding the humus soil, he reached out his hand and directly peeled it away without hesitation.

The soil was moist, soft, and had a strong smell, but Yang Sikang didn't even blink, and his expression became serious when he smelled the smell.

"Akashi, has this island been attacked by any special weapons? For example, bacterial weapons or something like that."

"There are no germ weapons or anything like that, meow."

Akashi shook his head and said:

"No experimental purposes are allowed on the islands under the management of the port area. If illegal experiments are conducted on these islands, even the government will be held accountable."

"is it?"

Yang Sikang sighed, thrust his hands into the soil, and then... pulled out a metal container.

This is a metal cylindrical container with a cone-shaped top. The whole thing looks like an enlarged product of a small-caliber rifle bullet, with a height of about 1.6 meters.

The container itself was almost undamaged. It was pulled out because there were metal handles on both sides that were easy to grasp. Although there were traces of rust on the surface, the extent was not serious.

When the container was pulled out, a pungent odor that was different from rotten material quickly spread.

The smell is not very strong, but it will make people feel dizzy when they smell it.

This abnormal dizziness will make people instinctively want to stay away from this thing, but Yang Sikang just became more serious and quickly started to inspect the container.

Because there was a lot of humus and soil attached to the surface, Yang Sikang asked Javelin to fetch water from the creek.

But Yang Sikang refused Wichita's proposal to take the container to the small pool.

"I don't know if this container is leaking. I don't know what's inside, so I can't take it to the water source rashly. That pool should be one of the main water sources for nearby animals and plants. Just clean it here."

While the javelin was returning from fetching water, Yang Sikang used the surrounding weeds and branches to create a temporary brush.

Dip it in water, and then scrape off the dirt on the surface of the container bit by bit to reveal its original appearance.

Although there are obvious traces of rust on the surface of this container, it can be seen that it still maintains a high degree of integrity after it is scraped out.

The whole thing seems to be completely sealed, with no seams or welded parts visible at all.

But this container is definitely not made of metal, because its weight and slight knocks give information that there should be space inside the container.

That strange smell was emanating from the inside of this container, or to be more precise, it was emanating from the coating on the surface of the container.

"The coating has reached this level, but there is still such a strong smell. Isn't it strange?"

Yang Sikang looked at Akashi as he spoke. As Chong Ying's ship girl, she was much more likely to know the origin of this thing than Yang Sikang, an outsider.

But Akashi didn't seem to really know what it was. Although he was looking at it carefully, he didn't make a move.

Yang Sikang saw this and did not continue to ask questions, but he knew one thing very well.

He actually knows this container, or... he made this thing in the previous world!

But the question is how long has he been in this world? If this thing is really something he has made before, then it will take at least ten years for the surface coating to decay to this extent, even if it is buried in such humus with sufficient moisture!

But after inspection, he was able to determine that the container was not made by him, because he could not find the place where he opened the container in his memory.

In any case, what he found proved that at least something special happened on this island, but the details were beyond his control.

Not long after discovering this container, Akagi Kaga rushed over and asked Akashi to study this strange container immediately.

After all, it was Chongying's own matter, and Yang Sikang had no intention of holding on to it.

However, it is not known whether the decayed part of the container caused any contamination, so although the mushrooms collected from here were large in quantity, they had to be discarded.

Fortunately, the place where this thing was buried was relatively far away from the water source, and after checking, there was no similar thing buried near the stream, which made people feel relieved.
