Azur Lane Under the Stars

Her closed eyes opened: "Commander, I'm busy, don't worry about it."

"Is she really with Taihou?" Atago looked at Shinano's expression and had already guessed seven or eight parts of the truth.

"Hmm, yes..." Shinano hummed a couple of times and then fell silent.

"Ugh, damn it, they actually did it while we were working... I'm so envious."

Atago gritted her teeth, looking distressed.

"...Is this something to be envious of?!" Takao tapped Atago on the head. "Just work, and you'll forget all about it."

“Kaohsiung, you really are a qualified capitalist…” Atago muttered.

"What did you say?" Kaohsiung glared at him.

"It's nothing..." Atago shrank her neck.

…………

After another round of resupply was completed, Ren Shuo finally returned to the commentary booth, albeit belatedly.

The competition is already halfway through.

"Commander, where have you been?" Haiqi asked with concern.

"nothing."

Why did you change your clothes?

"Well, because it fell into the water," Ren Shuo said.

"I see. Commander, you should be a little more careful." Haiqi said with great concern.

Ren Shuo nodded: "Understood."

Faced with Haiqi's innocent eyes and heartfelt concern, Ren Shuo suddenly felt incredibly guilty.

"How is the situation now?"

Haiqi commented, "Hmm, that's a bit surprising. Essex and Cleveland are tied for first place, followed by Hutten, and then Bunker Hill and Fearless."

"Is Hu Teng that strong?"

Ren Shuo was surprised.

“Of course, and currently, the only ones who haven’t been caught are the Dragoons, Aurora, and Bumblebee,” Haiqi said.

Haitian also looked through the data: "Judging from past data, Bumblebee's performance this time is quite amazing. He didn't even get lapped. In the past, when the race was halfway through, Bumblebee would have already disappeared from sight."

"Give Bumblebee some face," Ren Shuo said, both amused and exasperated. "No wonder Bumblebee was so confident before; it turns out he had a secret weapon."

“But this secret weapon is the company sister’s car,” Haiqi snorted. “And they’re saying they’re going to win the championship? That’s impossible, it’s shameful.”

"...Why does it seem like your sister has a lot of opinions about Bumblebee?" Ren Shuo asked.

Hai Tian was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this: "Commander, is this something I can say? This is a live broadcast."

"Go ahead and say it, it's okay, we're all family, and I'm sure everyone is eager to know."

Gossip is human nature, especially in such a large port area with so many ship girls.

Upon hearing Ren Shuo's words, almost all the audience members shouted, "Yes!"

The business representatives on the referee's bench also showed a hint of curiosity, turning their gaze away from the monitor: "I'm also a little curious, what exactly happened? Haiqi isn't a petty person."

"Well, actually, before, when Haiqi was practicing shooting, Bumblebee said he was very interested..."

"Then Haiqi taught her, and Haiqi did, repeatedly instructing Bumblebee not to bend her gun too much..."

"But Bumblebee seems to have watched some movie and overestimated the flexibility of the Sea Spear... and then it snapped in an instant."

Hai Tian will recount the whole story in detail.

"Bumblebee is really fearless! He knocked out a theatrical performer's gun. That would be a huge enemy outside..."

Ren Shuo covered his face. Bumblebee, you really know how to cause trouble. If Haiqi hadn't already known your personality, and if we weren't from the same port area, and if he hadn't barely convinced himself that you didn't do it on purpose...

If you were outside, you'd have been beaten up to a pulp by now, I'm telling you.

Even being stabbed with a knife is the least of your worries.

"That Bumblebee guy is really good at getting into trouble."

Rome was dumbfounded. Although she didn't know much about opera, she had heard a little about what the gun she often used meant to a theatrical performer.

“…Bumblebee!” Yorktown pursed his lips.

Although she was smiling, the chill emanating from her made the goddess of the hearth instinctively hug the small business and move a little further away.

Even Harman rubbed his arms and ran away.

Bumblebee, you're really something! You just finished dealing with that car in Essex, can't you have a few days of peace before starting again?

"Bumblebees really are..."

Even the companies on the referee's bench rubbed their noses in exasperation.

"Pfft, having such a younger sister must be really tough for you, business owner," the Prince of Wales chuckled.

Shoukaku patted the company on the shoulder and said, "Yes, that's right."

In a sense, although Zuikaku is a bit simple-minded, he shouldn't be the type to deliberately cause so much trouble.

At this time, the Prince of Wales also had the same idea.

Even though his sister, the Duke of York, is brainless and has a delusional personality, she shouldn't go out and cause trouble.

The company looked left and right, and it seemed that several of the companies in business did have younger sisters. Their own sister was the most complicated, so they could only sigh.

On the commentary desk, Ren Shuo comforted her, "I'll order a new gun for you later. Don't be angry. I'll have Bumblebee come over and apologize to you later."

"Understood, Commander," Haiqi grunted.

"Ahem... Let's get back to the game." Hai Tian changed the subject.

"Essex's overtaking maneuver on that corner was absolutely brilliant. You could say that the tires were pushing the limits of grip; a slight misstep would have resulted in a rollover. But Essex has always been excellent at controlling these limits."

"The Cleveland player was pushed to second place, right behind Hutten."

"Oh, the Dragoon also gained half a body length advantage on the straightaway, and forcefully blocked Bumblebee behind them as they entered the corner. Aurora chose to overtake on the outside corner..."

“I’ve heard a little about Aurora’s car modifications,” Ren Shuo finally had a chance to talk about it. “She sacrificed short-distance acceleration on straightaways to achieve stability in cornering.”

"Perhaps it's because Aurora believes in the saying, 'Anyone can step on the gas on a straightaway, but speed on a curve is what really matters.'"

In the second half, all the ship girls started to exert their strength, chasing each other, and the last three laps also entered a white-hot stage.

Chapter 650 The Great Bumblebee!

"Damn it, absolutely damn it, how dare they cut me off!"

On the field, Bumblebee, wearing a yellow helmet, looked resentful and gritted his teeth as he stared at the dragoon in front of him.

As an excellent and experienced race car driver (self-proclaimed), how could I tolerate being overtaken by an unknown nobody?

Obviously not, but on the straightaway, to be honest, the difference in strength between the two sides is about the same.

So Bumblebee chose to wait until the bend to overtake.

It was clear from the previous few bends and straights that Hu Teng's car wasn't as good as his!

So when I'm overtaking, I'll challenge myself to reach the limits of grip that I couldn't control before.

Bumblebee was very confident about this, thinking that it must be because her previous car was too bad that it flipped over in places where she was trying to push it to the limit.

But things are different now. Whose car is I sitting on?

The company's car! It's a really nice car! So I'm going to take on the challenge. Hehehe, once I succeed, the company will definitely look at me with new respect.

But Bumblebee seems to have forgotten one thing: if he crashes and the bike breaks down, how will he explain it to the company?

Before the race, I repeatedly told him not to damage the car.

If anyone knew what Bumblebee was thinking at that moment, they would definitely see a word above Bumblebee's head.

"Danger"

"Judging from this, Bumblebee's ranking is probably in the top ten, which is a pretty good result. It's an improvement."

The company looked at the situation on the field, nodded slightly, relieved, and looked down at the data feedback.

The top three are already decided; the question now is whether Essex, Cleveland, or Hutten will take first place.

The second tier consists of Bunker Hill and Dreadnought, which are of the "dumpling" class. As for Dragoon, Aurora, and Bumblebee, they belong to the third tier.

Further on... well, let's not talk about it. They were all caught in a trap, and they were mostly semi-professionals.

They're supposed to be a professional group, but they're just here to have fun.

"Not necessarily. I noticed there was something fishy about the trajectory she followed when she was on the curve."

The Prince of Wales suddenly said to the company, "Your car must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Yes, I bought it and modified it, it cost me a lot of my salary... What's wrong?"

The company was looking down at the data feedback and didn't have time to watch the on-site video recording.

“I suggest you see what your sister is planning to do…” There was a hint of schadenfreude in the Prince of Wales’s words.

The company quickly looked up, then their expression changed.

"Bumblebee, what are you thinking?!"

The company saw that Bumblebee was looking for that point, that extreme point.

Immediately, she began to wail.

My car is indeed better than Bumblebee's, but this spot is much harder to find. You can't even find the spot for the original car, and you're already looking for mine?

You can't get fat in one bite!

The company couldn't help but close its eyes, its face filled with sorrow.

The women around her also came over to express their condolences.

When Bumblebee saw the location of the Dragoon, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"A great opportunity!"

"Watch my performance!"

Bumblebee is full of confidence.

Bumblebee started cornering.

Bumblebee...

The bumblebee lost its balance.

Bumblebee looked completely bewildered and lost control of the motorcycle.

The bumblebee fell to the ground.

The bumblebee was sent.

Aurora took the opportunity to overtake.

Bumblebee was sent flying, his entire body going from overtaking on a curve to skidding across the ground and then hurtling off before crashing heavily onto the soft padding of the guardrail.

It was done in one go; it was a very smooth series of movements.

As a ship girl, she's fine, but the car is in trouble.

Swoosh, sparks, impact, deformation, and finally...

Deflagration.

Bumblebee Duck sat in front of the burning motorcycle, stunned. She still had no idea what had happened.

It wasn't until Xiao Manjiu ran over with fire extinguishing tools that she snapped out of her daze and hurriedly joined the firefighting effort.

The fire was quickly extinguished.

However, the car was burned beyond recognition, and even the frame was deformed.

Bumblebee was on the verge of tears, his expression numb and devoid of joy or sorrow.
