Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 100: The First Iron-Blooded Aircraft Carrier Outside the Christmas Story (1 words)

一
"Who are you! Where is this place!... I know, you are also the guy who plotted against Zeppelin!"

"I'm going to become Earl Zeppelin, the No. [-] aircraft carrier in the future! You actually brought me to this kind of place while I wasn't paying attention, and I'll be shot!"

The little white-haired loli, looking at the strange man in front of her who lifted her up high, struggled and shouted loudly.

Little Zeppelin didn't know how he came to this strange port area.

Originally, she should still be sleeping soundly in the dock, waiting for the iron-blooded people to assemble her body.

Her body contains the expectations of the entire iron-blooded camp for the future. Her future is bright, and it is certain that she will become the glory of the iron-blooded camp in the future.

Therefore, Little Zeppelin thinks that in the current situation, she should be kidnapped by this strange man in front of her.

"Are you really Zeppelin? No, why is your personality completely different?"

Lin Lan looked at this pouting, cute silver-haired little loli in surprise.

This little girl was dressed almost exactly like Zeppelin, and her face was somewhat similar to Zeppelin.

That scary woman in his port district who dislikes everything and wants to destroy the whole world, turned out to have such a cute and bullying appearance when she was a child?
"Hmph! Big villain, let me go home!"

The little Zeppelin puffed out his mouth and shouted in Lin Lan's hands. Lin Lan had no choice but to put it back on the ground.

"Okay, then let's go, I want to see how you get home."

Lin Lan was also amused by this cute little loli at this time. He looked at the little loli in front of him with a smile, and wanted to see if the ship girl who entered his port area could still fly away.

"What's that expression on your face? It's because you are so big here that I can't find my way home! Hmph, you villain must have done it on purpose!"

Little Zeppelin looked around helplessly, wrapped his white and red coat tightly, and shouted at Lin Lan angrily.

"Hey, it's really a headache. You can't go home now, why don't you just stay in my port area first."

Lin Lan said with a smile.

"You big villain, I don't believe what you say... Uh, don't touch me casually, don't hold my hand!"

Lin Lan forcibly held the hand of little Zeppelin, intending to take him to the iron blood dormitory by force.

But his thoughts immediately calmed down after Little Zeppelin conjured up a pocket main gun with his ship suit.

"Big villain, eat me!"

"Oh, let me go! Zeppelin, were you so angry when you were young?!"

Lin Lan wailed loudly, and was chased and bombarded by the angry little Zeppelin with the main cannon.

Fortunately, Little Zeppelin has just joined the port area, and her ship equipment has not yet been fully built, so the main gun is not very powerful.

But for Lin Lan, this was enough to kill him.

After being chased outside the Tie Xue dormitory, Lin Lan finally saw a savior.

"Huh? Commander, have you finally been sanctioned for being a lolicon~"

Prince Eugen, who eats his hands, happened to be lazily basking in the sun on the bench outside the iron-blooded dormitory. Seeing Lin Lan being "chased and killed" by the little loli all the way, he couldn't help but sneered and mocked.

"Eugen, stop talking, save me! Hiss!"

Lin Lan wailed, a small cannonball hit his forehead, but it didn't explode, but it caused a big swelling on his head.

"Ha ha ha ha ha."

Eugen covered his mouth and smiled, and finally stopped the panting little Zeppelin who was chasing Lin Lan all the way.

"I'll leave this child to you, I'll withdraw first!"

Seeing that Eugen had successfully stopped Little Zeppelin, Lin Lan was also panting and clutching his stomach, and he finally escaped.

Although the little girl's cannonball didn't explode, it still hit him hard enough.

The next day, Lin Lan still decided to bring the child to his office to be his secretary.

The fastest way for a ship girl to integrate into the port area is to let her serve as a secretary ship to understand all aspects of the port area.

"Why is there iron blood here, why are everyone so big..."

When Lin Lan was working, Little Qi Berlin obviously accepted some unbelievable reality, and pushed open the door of Lin Lan's office with a pitiful face.

Poor little loli, when she came to the commander's office, she still looked confused.

She sat on the sofa in Lin Lan's office, buried her head, and said nothing.

"Huh? You don't seem to be in good spirits. Let me declare that I'm really not a kidnapper. You should have some snacks first."

Seeing that little Zeppelin was in a bad mood, Lin Lan got up and took out a bunch of snacks given to him by the destroyer mother from the desk drawer, and handed them to little Lori in front of him.

"Well, thank you..."

Although the silver-haired little loli was still in a bad mood, she still took the snacks and candies from Lin Lan.

"I know, you still want to go home, right?"

Lin Lan sat beside Little Zeppelin, looking at the little Lolita who was eating candy with a negative expression, he smiled and comforted him:
"Well, before you find your way home, stay in my port area first, and I will provide food and accommodation here."

"When you find the way back later, if you want to go back, I will never stop you."

Little Loli raised her head and glanced at Lin Lan.

"Really? But, everyone here is so big and scary..."

Lin Lan looked gently at the confused and helpless little loli in front of her, and lightly rubbed her face:
"It's okay, don't look at them all looking fierce, in fact they are also very kind, how about this, let me introduce you to everyone first."

Lin Lan picked up little Zeppelin, returned to her seat, opened the files in the pile of files on the table, and introduced the little loli in her arms one by one:
"This is Z23, you can call her Teacher Nimi, this is Tizi..."

Little Zeppelin was held in her arms, and she suddenly felt that it seemed that it would be good to live in this port area for the time being.

Well, it's just that I can't find my way back now, and I don't have a better place to go.

And this guy doesn't look bad, so let's stay here first.

Little Lolita made a silent decision.

two

Little Zeppelin lived in Lin Lan's port area for more than half a month.

During this period, Lin Lan kept her as the secretary ship, and met many partners from other camps in the port area.

In addition, he also tried to get Little Zeppelin to attack and carry out some salvage missions in safe sea areas with other ship girls.

Gradually, little Zeppelin regained his vitality, and he really deserved to be a child.

The ship girls of other camps also know that Iron Blood has a little Zeppelin, and many little girls from destroyers even come to play with the little Zeppelin.

Lin Lan gradually discovered that Little Zeppelin seemed to have really regarded himself as a member of this port area, and lived happily every day.

In the first few days, Little Zeppelin was always pestering him to help him find his way home.

But now, she has not mentioned the matter of going home at all.

"Hey, Commander, Elder Sister Beifa has delivered afternoon tea again, please help me pick it up!"

Lin Lan heard little Zeppelin's shout and hurried out of the office.

As soon as he went out, he saw the little Lolita in front of him walking staggeringly with a bag of tea in one hand and a teacup and plate in the other.

After receiving the royal afternoon tea brought by Little Zeppelin, Lin Lan and Little Zeppelin returned to the office together.

The two sat on the sofa, Lin Lan took out the teacup, placed it on the coffee table, and poured the royal special black tea.

Little Zeppelin was already impatiently filling his mouth with cake, and Lin Lan handed over the teacup with a smile, just to relieve Little Zeppelin's urgent need.

"Hey, I've come back to life. The royal cake is not bad. Compared with the iron cake, it has a different flavor."

After drinking the black tea, little Lolita looked at Lin Lan with a smile and said.

"That's right, the royal maid team is very versatile after all. If you still want to eat, I'll go back and say hello to Befa and ask her to send more."

Lin Lan also picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm royal black tea.

"If you can live like this forever, it seems pretty good."

After afternoon tea, Little Zeppelin lay lazily on the sofa, his face full of contentment.

"You guy, you are unexpectedly a good person, and everyone in the port area is also very kind to me."

Little Lolita seemed to be talking to herself.

Hearing what little loli said, Lin Lan couldn't help being a little surprised.

Was Zeppelin so naive and reasonable when he was a child?
Thinking of the world-weary and cold appearance of Qi Bailin when he grew up, Lin Lan really couldn't understand why this sunny little loli would become like that in the future.

"Then it's okay if you don't go home. You were very anxious when you first came here."

Lin Lan asked jokingly with a smile.

"Huh? Go home..."

Little Zeppelin showed a difficult look on his face, as if he was making a very difficult choice.

"……this and that……"

After thinking for a long time, the little Lolita, who was entangled, suddenly seemed to think of a good way, looked at Lin Lan and said seriously:
"Yes, yes! I'm still a long time away from growing up, I can let Sangvis wait for a while! Well, everyone won't be angry."

The naive little Zeppelin seemed very satisfied with her answer, and pointed at Lin Lan energetically:

"Hmph, after I finish the ship installation and become a super powerful aircraft carrier, I can also live in this fleet, you can't refuse!"

Lin Lan smiled and stretched out her hand, stroking the little cutie's head:

"That's for sure. I'm looking forward to that day coming soon."

Touched by Lin Lan's warm palm on the head, Little Zeppelin blushed slightly and shouted:

"Are you taking advantage of me again? I told you not to touch me casually, eat, eat me!"

"Hey, this is the office, don't get me wrong!"

In the afternoon, the commander's office in the port area was also very lively.

"Commander, you idiot, why did you lose the exercise again?"

Another period of time passed, and Little Zeppelin was completely accustomed to the life of the secretary ship.

She spoke more and more freely to Lin Lan, and the relationship between the two became more and more intimate.

Little Zeppelin has also fully integrated into the port area, and he can attack tacitly with other ship girls and become one.

Little Lolita has also made many good friends, not only Iron Blood, but also many ship girls from other camps have become close friends with her.

"Who knew that guy on the other side actually used Juno to come to the current newspaper agency, and his company really gave face, and kept making big Es, huh."

Lin Lan complained angrily outside the exercise area.

The light cruiser Juno is the daughter of the White Eagle. Her skill is to restore blood to other members of the team after the battle is sunk. Therefore, many commanders used it as the front row in the exercise to deliberately send it away.

And Big E is the skill of White Eagle's official aircraft carrier Enterprise, which has a certain probability of triggering its own double damage and eight-second invincibility.

Lin Lan has tried his best, but after all, humans cannot beat European dogs.

"However, you didn't bully Juno like the other commanders. It's pretty impressive to get this rank."

Seeing Lin Lan's dejected look, Little Qi Bolin quickly grabbed Lin Lan's palm and comforted him with concern.

"Hey, it's not a big problem. Anyway, it's fine if I can get merit. I don't have to fight for the first place. It's best to win, and it doesn't matter if I can't win."

Lin Lan was taken aback, but he was comforted by the little Lolita, and quickly calmed down.

Feeling the soft and warm touch of the little Lolita holding him from the hand, Lin Lan's mood gradually calmed down.

It was already sunset time, and the orange-red sunset shone on Lin Lan and his group of ship girls who participated in this exercise.

On the way back to the port area, Little Zeppelin looked left and right, and suddenly pulled Lin Lan's hand, asking curiously with innocent eyes:

"Commander, why do the other sisters have a ring on their right ring finger?"

Hearing the question raised by Little Zeppelin, Lin Lan was taken aback, how should this be explained?

With the current appearance of Little Zeppelin, he is smaller than many destroyers. Is it really good to tell him what the Ring of Oath is so early?
Just when Lin Lan was thinking about how to explain this topic to the naive little Zeppelin, the light purple-haired expulsion girl holding a metal spear weapon looked at Little Zeppelin with a smile:
"This is the crystallization of the Commander's love for us. Only those who are loved and approved by the Commander can get this ring, hehehe~"

Javelin, the destroyer of the royal camp, has a cute little face full of happiness and sweetness that is almost overflowing.

Lin Lan coughed twice in embarrassment, Javelin, what you said is too straightforward, at least be more subtle.

"Yes, is that so?"

Little Zeppelin was full of surprise. It was the first time she knew that this seemingly inconspicuous ring had such an important meaning.

"Javelin, what you said is reasonable, but I believe the master is not that selfish."

A gentle female voice came, and Little Zeppelin turned his head to look at the royal light cruiser with fluttering white hair, the always elegant headmaid Belfast.

"The master attaches great importance to each of our companions in the port area, and the gentle master will earnestly reply to each of us' feelings for him."

"This oath ring is not so much the master's love and recognition for us, but it can also be reversed, representing our eternal love and loyalty to the master."

While speaking, Belfast also gently stroked the ring of oath in his hand, his face full of tenderness.

When little Zeppelin heard Belfast's words, his little face was filled with surprise.

"Hey, what they said is right, but it's still too early for you, and after all, you haven't grown up yet, and you have to go home. When you grow up, I will definitely give you a ring."

Lin Lan said to the little Zeppelin with a smile - but, there was nothing wrong with what he said, he had already given the oath ring to the grown-up Zeppelin.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think it is necessary for me to correct the mistakes in your words."

At this time, a magnetic female voice sounded, and Lin Lan looked suspiciously.

A sassy elder sister with black short hair and blue eyes with slanted bangs was looking at him very seriously.

"I think Sir Zeppelin is completely capable of making a vow with you, such a cute little sister, when I think of being able to be with her again every day, I will, I will..."

Yujie, who had a sassy temperament, unexpectedly had an idiot-like expression on her face as she spoke.

The javelin beside her quickly ran to Lin Lan trembling with a face full of fear, and the little Zeppelin also got closer to Lin Lan in fear.

Lin Lan couldn't help but support his forehead.

The Royal Ark aircraft carrier is also known as the good cellmate of the players.

The reason why she can get this title is because she usually looks like a very heroic, unrestrained and reliable big sister.

And because players often make oaths with destroyers, it is well known that such behavior will be caught by the gendarmerie and reflected in prison, and the Royal Ark has almost stayed in prison for a long time.

That's why he got this reputation, the player's good cellmate in prison.

"Hehe, Royal Ark, if you continue to behave like this in front of outsiders, I will ask Her Majesty Elizabeth to put you in confinement again."

"Wow, Your Excellency Hood, if you report me to His Majesty again, I will be ordered by His Majesty to separate from the deported sisters forever!"

This beautiful, elegant, blond and blue-eyed royal beauty who seems to have walked out of a painting is the battlecruiser Hood with the reputation of "Honor of the Royal Navy".

Little Zeppelin held Lin Lan tightly, and listening to the laughter of other companions, she secretly made a decision in her red eyes.

"Little Zeppelin, little Zeppelin!"

Little Qi Berlin, who was distracted in the office, was awakened by Lin Lan's voice.

"What's wrong with you, I always feel that you are out of your mind recently?"

Lin Lan bent down with a worried expression, carefully watching the silver-haired little loli sitting on the sofa.

"Yeah, Commander, I'm sorry."

Little Zeppelin shook his head, trying to wake himself up quickly.

For some reason recently, she could always hear a lot of people clamoring in her ears, and many tinkling metal noises rang through her mind.

She had a hunch that she might be going home soon.

go home?

Little Loli raised her head and looked seriously at the young boy in the white commander's uniform in front of her.

During this period of time, she met many partners in the port area of ​​this person in front of her, and saw many things that she had never imagined before.

There are no cruel and bloody wars here, and no mutual hostility between various countries.

Their ships do not need to be used as weapons to slaughter each other here, nor do they need to painfully witness the death of their companions.

This place is like a beautiful dream, they just need to be themselves and live a good life.

Is it really good to go home...

"It seems that you still haven't woken up. Let's see what this is. This is your favorite white eagle cake. I went to Saratoga in the morning and she specifically told me to treat you to it."

Lin Lan saw the cute little loli whose gaze was still a little dull, so she could only resort to her own magic weapon and took out a bag of unopened exquisite cream cake from behind.

But for some reason, today's little Zeppelin abnormally didn't take the cake happily, but just stared at him so straight.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Speed ​​up the progress! Be sure to build her before the war breaks out, and don't lose the chain at this moment!"

"The head of state has spoken, she will be the third iron blood empire's big killer in this war! She will definitely bring unforgettable fear to those arrogant guys on the Atlantic Ocean!"

As the voice in his mind became clearer and clearer, Little Zeppelin suddenly trembled all over his body.

Tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, she opened her arms involuntarily, and hugged Lin Lan tightly, trembling all over.

"Little Zeppelin, what's the matter with you, is something wrong?"

Lin Lan was taken aback by the abnormal behavior of the little loli, and quickly squatted down, hugging the little loli in her arms tightly.

"Commander, I, I may have to go home."

Lin Lan felt his heart tremble when he heard Little Zeppelin's crying words.

"Then you want to go back, but how could this happen, you obviously..."

After getting along with Little Zeppelin for this period of time, Lin Lan found that he also deeply fell in love with this optimistic, cheerful and innocent little girl.

No matter what, he never thought that this little loli would say such words at this moment.

At this time, his words came to his lips, but he suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

Little Zeppelin appeared in his port area inexplicably, so would he also disappear inexplicably?

"I don't want war, I don't want to bring death to others, Commander, I, what should I do, woo..."

The poor little Lolita cried pitifully in Lin Lan's arms. This was the first time Lin Lan saw little Qi Berlin crying so sadly.

Just when Lin Lan hugged little Zeppelin with great heartache, and wanted to think of words to comfort the little Lolita in his arms, he suddenly discovered that little Zeppelin's body was slowly becoming transparent.

"no no……"

Lin Lan watched all this happening at a loss, wanting to stop it all.

But he found that he couldn't do anything

He suddenly thought of something, hugged the little girl whose body had gradually become transparent, got up, and rushed to his desk quickly.

"It's too late, it's too late!"

Lin Lan sat on the chair, opened the drawer of the desk with one hand in a panic, and took out a small black box.

Open the box, and a bright oath ring is quietly placed in the center of the box.

"Little Zeppelin, don't cry, look what this is."

Lin Lan held the ring in his hand, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anxiety on his face.

He spoke to little Zeppelin in the softest voice he ever had.

Hearing Lin Lan's words, the silver-haired little loli, whose body had become severely transparent, slowly let go of her hands that hugged Lin Lan tightly. With tears and mourning on her face, she stared blankly at Lin Lan's hands.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Lan held the bright oath ring in both hands, and slowly put it on little Lolita's right ring finger without wiping away the tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

"Little Zeppelin, I, I like you, damn it, why didn't I tell you sooner. I really, really like you very much."

Lin Lan looked at the little Zeppelin who was sitting on him, whose body was becoming more and more transparent, and who had become like a soul. His tone became more and more serious, and he even uttered obscenities eagerly.

"Oath... Ring?"

Little Zeppelin's innocent red eyes were full of surprise and shock.

Fortunately, the ring of oath was successfully worn on the ring finger of Little Lolita's right hand, and it did not fall directly to the ground.

Little Zeppelin, whose whole body was already seriously transparent, gently stroked the exquisite ring on the ring finger of his right hand.

Tears, big and big, fell down from Xiao Luoli's pink and lovely face.

But the tears dripped onto Lin Lan's legs, but did not wet Lin Lan's pants.

Little Zeppelin is really going to disappear.

Lin Lan watched all this happen in despair, gritted his teeth tightly, not to let his emotions break down.

"Hmph, no matter what you do, I won't give in to you!...Snacks?...I want to eat, give me one too!"

"I like high places! Because you can see far!""

"What nonsense are you talking about? Despair and hatred are nothing! I believe that as long as you don't give up, your dreams will come true one day!"

The scenes of the two of them together once emerged, which made Lin Lan want to cry in pain.

But he was afraid that as long as he moved again, the innocent and cute little girl in front of him would completely leave him.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot, hate, hate, hate, if you give me this kind of thing, won't it make people want to go back even more!"

Little Zeppelin, who was already very close to being transparent, suddenly let out a loud cry.

Lin Lan stretched out her hand in pain, wanting to gently stroke Little Lolita's head like before.

But his behavior was doomed to fail.

His hand went straight through Little Lolita's body, like...

Touching a non-existent projection in general.

Little Zeppelin witnessed all this, her body was so pale that it was hard to be stared at, she stared at Lin Lan's face firmly, as if she wanted to engrave this man's appearance in her soul.

She suddenly took a deep breath, and with all her strength, facing the commander in front of her who had been taking care of him during this period of time, she shouted heart-piercingly in a tearful tone:
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu In this case, you have to make an appointment with me. If I go back, you must find me in the future, understand? It's done! It's done!!!"

Hearing the immature voice of Little Zeppelin, Lin Lan finally couldn't bear the pain in his heart, and shouted in despair:
"I will, I will definitely, I will find you in the future and let you return to the port area!"

Hearing his words, the already completely transparent little loli finally showed a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.

Lin Lan just watched helplessly that the little loli who had been with him during this time completely disappeared on his lap, with a dull expression on his face.

五

"Dididi, Dididi, Dididi!"

The loud alarm clock rang, waking Lin Lan up from his sleep.

"Little Zeppelin!"

Lin Lan immediately sat up from the bed and yelled, there were still tears on his face.

"Son, what's the name of the ghost in the early morning, get up quickly, don't forget that this morning is Lao Zhang's morning class on engineering economics, if you are late, you will be finished!"

"That guy always guards the door every morning class to catch points deducted for being late. It's already [-]:[-], don't blame the fathers for not calling you! Let's slip away first!"

The shouts and footsteps of the roommates woke Lin Lan up instantly.

Everything just now turned out to be just a dream.

But, is it really just a dream?

"Go to Nima, Dad is up, wait for me for a while!"

Lin Lan shouted casually, took out the clothes next to the pillow and put them on quickly.

The dream he had just now was quite real, making him feel as if he had really traveled to the game as a commander.

After putting on his clothes, Lin Lan was about to turn off the alarm clock on his mobile phone, but he saw that last night he was hanging on the main interface of the game and fell asleep.

Little Zeppelin, who was set up as the secretary ship, was looking at him angrily on the screen of the mobile phone.

Last night before he fell asleep, he swore the activity boat Little Zeppelin some time ago.

"No wonder I had such a real dream, I fell asleep hanging here last night."

Lin Lan muttered to himself, put the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, turned over and got out of bed, hurriedly picked up the textbook on the table and rushed out the door without taking a shower.

Fortunately, their dormitory was on the first floor, which was relatively close to the teaching building. He rushed into the classroom at the last second before the class bell and sat in the seat in the back row.

Lao Zhang has already walked to the podium to start class, and several students around him have already turned on the competitive mobile game and started to operate. Lin Lan was opening the book, when suddenly the cry of a childish loli sounded in his ears:
"You must find me in the future, understand? It's done! It's done!!"

Lin Lan accidentally opened the search engine of her mobile phone and searched for the name Earl Zeppelin.

He slid down a certain encyclopedia that came into view, and saw a piece of information like this:
"At the end of April 1945, the Red Army of the Northern Alliance was about to approach Stettin, and Iron Blood took the initiative to scuttle the Graf Zeppelin to prevent it from falling into the enemy's hands.

However, after occupying the place, the North Union salvaged the sunken ship in 1946. The last sighting of the ship was in Swinemünde. At that time, the ship was carrying some supplies and was going to Leningrad. It has since disappeared without a trace. .

Later, the declassification of confidential files showed that it had briefly obtained a number 'PO-101', which was used as a target ship for the Northern Alliance's warplanes.

In July 2006, a shipwreck with a length of 7 meters was found on the seabed near the port of Weiba.It has been confirmed that it is the Earl Zeppelin whose whereabouts have been a mystery for many years.

After more than fifty years, people finally discovered the long-lost "No. [-] Iron-Blooded Aircraft Carrier". "

After watching all this, Lin Lan suddenly felt a sudden twitch in his heart.

This is the first time he has seen this piece of information, but in the dream last night, why did Little Zeppelin say such things to him?

"Lin Lan! Get up and answer this question!"

When Lao Zhang's reputation came, Lin Lan didn't bother to continue thinking about this issue, and stood up to continue his life.

Probably, it's just that this dream is more mysterious.

"The warship built by this damn Iron-Blooded Man is really tenacious. After it was picked up, it was used for a blasting test, and it was still not sunk after carrying it for five rounds."

In a cold sea area, several soldiers of the Red Army of the Northern Union were standing on the deck of the destroyer of the Northern Union, staring at the behemoth in the distance.

"If only our motherland could build such a powerful warship back then, my children, my wife, and Boris who was still protecting me in Stalingrad...wouldn't have been killed by Iron Blood."

A middle-aged Red Army soldier gritted his teeth and said.

"It's over, it's over, Andrei."

Other soldiers comforted the middle-aged Red Army one after another.

This damn war waged by the Third Iron-Blooded Empire took away too many good things in their lives.

Well, it's finally over.

"Although the iron-blooded guys are damned, I have to admit that this warship is so beautiful. Unfortunately, it is too dilapidated and cannot be used by our Beilian."

A younger Red Army soldier stared at the large warship in the distance and sighed.

"Oh, don't talk about the five-round blasting test. I heard from my brother who is an aviation soldier in the [-]th regiment that they bombed this ship with aerial bombs a while ago, but they just didn't sink the warship."

Another Red Army soldier proudly showed off the secret information he got from private channels, which aroused the amazement of several other soldiers.

Snowflakes were falling from the sky, it was so cold here that the mist from the few of them almost fell to the deck of the destroyer under their feet and froze.

Andre looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and suddenly thought of the family and comrades who had been lost before his eyes.

He looked at the warship, and couldn't help but cursed resentfully:
"Its country is finished. I really don't know why it can persist so much. What else does it have to persist?"

……

Yeah, what else can I hold on to?

Covered in devastation, he witnessed the destruction of the motherland and the passing away of his companions one by one.

Seeing helplessly, he was surrounded by the enemy, and he didn't even have the qualifications to die for the country with honor, and was dragged here by the enemy as a prisoner.

Even that thing was taken away...

In Earl Zeppelin's gaze, there was no longer the innocence and optimism of the past, only deep despair and numbness remained.

The snow fell slowly on her body, making Count Zeppelin suddenly feel the cold called loneliness and death surround her.

In that guy's Minato area, it never seems to be cold.

The warm port area and the gentle man's expression flashed in Zeppelin's mind.

That dream was as beautiful as if it didn't belong to this disgusting and dirty world.

She raised her head, looked at the flying snow falling from the sky, suddenly wanted to cry, but found that she couldn't cry anymore.

The cruel and bloody war has made her no longer naive and willful.

Now that I, with blood on my hands, can really return to his side again?
Zeppelin quietly looked at the enemy ships around him who came to end his life, and laughed at himself.

"Being brought here, I'm afraid you won't be able to find me no matter what."

Earl Zeppelin already knew that she was brought here secretly by the enemy as a top secret.

She is no longer naive, and she already knows that this is the place where she died.

Watching the surrounding enemy ships slowly turn sideways, launching waves that pierced the cold sea and dragged white-tailed waves, Zeppelin closed his eyes wearily.

"I will, I will definitely, I will find you in the future and let you return to the port area!"

The severe pain from the torpedo explosion burst from his body, making Zeppelin weakly lose his balance.

It's been so long, it's time to say goodbye to you.

Still, don't come to this cold place to look for me.

Being able to meet you is already the greatest salvation in my life.

Thank you, and, goodbye.

Zeppelin had her last smile on her face.

The "No. [-] Iron-Blooded Aircraft Carrier" finally sank slowly towards the icy deep ice sea under the continuous attack of torpedoes.

"It finally sank, but it was not easy."

On the deck of the destroyer, the few Red Army soldiers just now watched the tenacious iron-blooded warship slowly roll over and sink, expressing emotion.

"By the way, Comrade Andre, have you heard of it? There is a rumor. I think I can answer your question just now."

Just when Andre held the railing and watched the iron-blooded warship sink, with a contented vengeful smile on the corner of his mouth, a Red Army officer who looked older than him with a pipe in his hand came over.

"General!"

Including Andre, several Red Army soldiers standing on the deck immediately held their heads high and saluted the officer in front of them respectfully.

"Don't be so cautious, comrades have worked hard to perform tasks in such a cold day."

The elderly Red Army officer smiled and waved to these soldiers, then walked slowly to Andre's side.

With complicated eyes, he watched Earl Zeppelin in the distance being completely swallowed by the ice ocean. He put the pipe in his mouth, took a deep breath, and after slowly exhaling a stream of smoke, he said:
"Before I towed this warship, I boarded that warship one night when I was patrolling. The soldier who was in charge of cleaning the warship that day told me that he picked up a ring on this warship. .”

"ring?"

Several Red Army soldiers gathered around, curiously listening to the general's rumor that they had never heard before.

"Yes, the ring, I didn't expect that, ha ha."

The old general smiled and continued:
"Other countries have treated ships as women a long time ago. You must have known this already."

"The soldier showed me the ring, and it was such a beautiful ring, more beautiful than any work of art I've ever seen."

"When the ring fell into my hand, I felt as if the whole warship trembled and hummed, as if this ring belonged to this warship."

After the general finished speaking, Andre couldn't help being suspicious:
"Comrade General, maybe that ring was taken away by some iron-blooded officer before he died in battle?"

The general smiled and showed a memory-like look, and continued:
"Who knows, when I looked at this exquisite and flawless ring, I suddenly thought of the worn-out ring I gave to my wife in the countryside when I was young."

"On this supreme weapon responsible for killing, there can be a ring representing loyalty and pure love. What a... something worth thinking about."

Several other Red Army soldiers fell silent, as if they recalled a good memory that once belonged to them.

Even Andre remained silent, turning his head to look at the iron-blooded warship that had just sunk, with a complicated expression on his face.

"What then?"

After a long time, the younger Red Army soldier broke the silence.

"Later, I handed over that ring to the motherland, hahaha."

The general laughed, and the other soldiers around were also amused by the humorous general.

"So, everyone may have their own beauty in their hearts that needs to be guarded persistently, and maybe this Zeppelin also has it."

The general smiled and took his pipe, walked up to Andre, and patted him on the shoulder.

"The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Comrades, work hard for a while. After finishing the work, go back to the cabin early. I will ask the logistics staff to prepare vodka to warm you up."

"Yes, thank you Comrade General!"

With his hands behind his back, the aged general walked slowly towards the direction he came from.

In fact, he didn't tell the whole truth just now.

When he left the sunken iron-blooded warship, the ring he held in his hand suddenly disintegrated, turned into dust, and disappeared in his hand.

This extremely strange spectacle moved the experienced general, and he even suspected that what happened was just his illusion.

Perhaps, that incomparably exquisite ring belonged to someone who gave this iron-blooded warship.

The general shook his head with a smile, deciding to keep this as an anecdote to include in his memoirs after he retired.

However, the disintegration of the Northern Alliance decades later caused the memoirs of this Red Army general who once defended his home and country to be burned in the fire.

Since then, no one in this world knows that this wonderful thing happened on the Earl Zeppelin aircraft carrier.

Seven

In the icy darkness and cold, after an unknown amount of time, Zeppelin slowly opened his eyes.

She found that she could move, and her body turned into a human.

"Oh, that's interesting, what's going on here?"

The weather-beaten iron-blooded aircraft carrier looked at his appearance with disdain.

She no longer has any favors for this boring world.

Even if he could revive Iron Blood with such power, Zeppelin couldn't arouse any interest.

Having been deprived of everything, even the ring of oath, she has lost interest in anything.

Or, destroying this disgusting world is a good choice.

In this darkness again, after an unknown amount of time, Zeppelin suddenly heard a strange but familiar voice.

"Fuck! It's Earl Zeppelin! You've squeezed all the oil out of me, and finally fished it out!"

The darkness in front of Zeppelin's eyes gradually receded, and she appeared in this posture in front of the man who had haunted her countless times.

Surrounded by the port area that she is very familiar with and misses so much, that warm and beautiful port area.

She stared blankly at everything in front of her. This belated beauty was like a knife, stabbing her chest hard.

This man is obviously much younger than before, but why...he doesn't seem to recognize himself at all?
How is it possible, why didn't you recognize me?Why don't you know me!
Qi Bailin wanted to open his mouth to question, but found that she had already lost the vow ring, what qualifications did she have to recognize this man again?
Maybe, that's fine too.

If this was fate's punishment for her, it would be too light.

Being able to return to the man in front of her was already the greatest reward for her.

Any punishment is trivial.

Finally, after a long silence, Zeppelin slowly spoke:
"I'm Zeppelin...Although I don't want to use this name, it's better to call me that for convenience."

The familiar big boy in the memory in front of her was cheering happily. Seeing his overjoyed appearance, although Zeppelin had a thousand words in her heart, she still didn't dare to express it.

You big villain, you finally fulfilled your promise and found me.

But I have already lost your oath ring, and my hands have been stained with the sins and blood of countless innocent people. I am already... unworthy of your love.

"By the way, Zeppelin, hehehe, do you have any wish, you can tell me any wish. Although you must not hear it, but you are the first SSR ship girl I salvaged, even if you can't hear it I want to ask you too!"

Lin Lan, who had just entered the pit, held her mobile phone and looked at the iron-blooded, cold, white-haired sister Yu on the screen, and let out a smirk.

He really treated the characters in this game as real people, so he asked Count Zeppelin silly.

"my wish?"

Zeppelin looked at the big boy in front of him in surprise, with a bit of bitterness in his heart.

That is of course to retrieve the vowed ring.

But Zeppelin thought of the dirty world that took away her ring. After all, she sighed deeply, looked at the big boy in front of her in a tone full of resentment, and said coldly:
"My wish should be to destroy the world..."

"I won't ask for your help, eh? Because...you've already been a part of it."
