Revisit Azur Lane

She was usually quite boisterous in front of Zhou He, but in front of others, she maintained her original aloof demeanor. This contrast made her feel disconnected.

The others, however, paid no attention to Yukikaze's shouts. Instead, Zhou He's words made them laugh. Nagashima, who had just come out of the game room, yawned: "Commander is worrying too much. We don't get sick that easily."

After saying that, she went into the bathroom, seemingly to take a shower to clear her head.

"Taking good care of one's body is a fundamental quality of a strong person. Although Yukikaze is small in stature, he is quite strong. Commander, don't underestimate him."

Kaga BB sat sideways on the sofa with one hand on the backrest, chewing on jerky. It was originally prepared for Akagiri, but she thought it tasted very good and often ate it as a snack to chew on.

Being short is unnecessary.

Yukikaze instinctively retorted, glancing at New Jersey who was reading some book, before finally fixing her gaze on Nagato, who was about the same size as her, and regaining her confidence—it was these big guys who were the problem!

Kaga laughed, and Jarvis walked over with his medical kit on his back, holding a thermometer and handing it to Zhou He: "Let's take your temperature first."

"?"

Zhou He took the thermometer. Shouldn't this be given to Xuefeng? Why is he giving it to him?

But Jarvis didn't continue speaking. Instead, he put the box on the coffee table, opened it, and started looking for tools. Zhou He thought for a moment, looked at Xuefeng, put the thermometer under his arm, and handed it to Xuefeng after demonstrating: "Just do it like me."

"Do we really have to do something so stupid?"

Xuefeng was having a hard time keeping up; she had never been a patient in her life.

"Just consider it an experience of life."

Zhou He smiled, and after Xue Feng took the thermometer, he reached out and touched Xue Feng's forehead with the back of his hand, and immediately let out a "Huh" sound, then switched hands to take the temperature.

He cuddled Yuudachi to sleep at night, knowing that the beast-eared girls in Sakura Empire would have slightly higher body temperatures, but Yukikaze's forehead temperature was clearly off, even a little hot.

"Is this normal?"

Zhou He asked Jarvis, admitting he had just guessed blindly, "Could Xuefeng really have a fever?"

His family doesn't have any medicine that can cure Superman.

"That's normal. Just like your body temperature rises after exercise, Commander, we experience something similar."

Jarvis remained calm. She took out her stethoscope and listened to Zhou He's heartbeat as she spoke. The latter instinctively relaxed his body and then complained after a few seconds, "I'm not the one who needs to be examined."

"I know that Miss Yukikaze's problem is lack of sleep, excessive mental strain, and an elevated body temperature caused by external stimuli. Commander, please don't get too close. She will recover soon."

The nurse casually described Yukikaze's symptoms and offered a solution. Zhou He, on the other hand, looked him up and down and said, "A more precise examination will be done once the equipment is complete. For now, I'll just do a quick check to see if the Commander is in good health."

"I see. Do we need to have blood drawn?"

Zhou He glanced at Xue Feng, whose face was flushed red from what he had said. She immediately buried her face in the sofa. So the burning temperature was because she was flushed?

Even Yuudachi isn't this innocent.

"Draw some."

As Jarvis spoke, he used a small syringe to draw a little blood from Zhou He's arm, then had him lie face down on the sofa, pressing on various parts of his body to observe his movements.

"Is this royal medicine? It doesn't seem like what I expected?"

Zhou He was pressed so hard he was in a groan, and he had to speak, which distracted him. He didn't remember that the royal family would use acupressure for diagnosis.

"The nursing knowledge I inherited is not limited to royal medicine."

Jarvis's tone was calm, but the force of his fingers was considerable. Zhou He's toes were tense. That was bad enough, but someone was tickling the soles of his feet with their fingers. He turned his head but couldn't see anyone. When he turned back, they were tickling him again. It was practically a crime. He could only twist his feet to avoid it.

After pressing for about five minutes, Zhou He started grinning and making giggling sounds. Jarvis probably felt that this guy was a bit weird, so he finally stopped, took out paper and pen, and started writing.

Zhou He wiped his mouth, sat up straight, and looked at the onlookers with a blank expression: "Who tickled my back just now?"

Everyone was suppressing their laughter with serious expressions, and no one came forward to claim it. Their unity made it difficult for Zhou He to act, so he could only say, "Let it go this time, but don't let it happen again."

Jarvis finished the report in a few minutes. Zhou He took a look and found that everything was fine and there were no major problems.

"not bad."

Zhou He handed the report to the others for review, feeling slightly relieved. He was still quite scared, afraid that Jarvis would write something like "Pay attention to the frequency of sexual activity," which would ruin his reputation.

After finishing his work, Jarvis put the medical kit back in the infirmary and walked out of the command post with Zhou He's blood in his hand.

Chapter 180 Mobile Logistics Base

After a commotion, Xuefeng quieted down, and Zhou He also quieted down, but still urged Xuefeng to change his clothes, which made him kick him in annoyance.

With Hermione's help, Hood and Bismarck arrived at the command room one after the other to discuss the operational strategy of "where to attack today".

This echoed the topic that Zhou He and New Jersey had discussed. Bismarck and Hood were also deep in thought: their current situation was quite awkward. Although they had defeated many Siren fleets and observers, the Sirens were large and powerful, and their core forces had not been damaged. If they continued to charge, they might not gain any advantage. If they stopped to rest, the Sirens' fleet would quickly replenish, and the situation would return to the initial stage where they were suppressed by the Sirens' numbers.

To put it simply, it seems like there's a choice, but in reality, there isn't. If the testers choose to defend to the death, they won't be able to take down the base, and all their efforts in the battle these past few days will be for naught. So it's better to take advantage of the fact that the testers are afraid to attack and the Sirens are generally weak to maximize their gains, such as taking down the Mirror Sea, which would at least reduce the workload of clearing the map later.

"There are two problems with attacking the Mirror Sea. First, the situation inside is unknown, and we don't know how long the battle will last or what the supply of living materials will be. Second, after the Mirror Sea is closed, will the testers camp there? In other words, we need to accurately control the timing of closing the Mirror Sea."

After discussing for a while, the group decided to go to the mirror-like waters near the archipelago and subsequently identified two major challenges.

"Secondly, I can monitor this in real time. You just need to have a grasp of the internal situation."

Zhou He had already considered it. As he spoke, he spread his hands towards everyone and said, "As for the first question, let me think if there is a better way. You can all disperse and prepare. We will regroup and attack in an hour."

That concludes the pre-battle meeting. Zhou He got up and stretched his arms. Jarvis had just given him a massage, similar to Hermione's massage. It hurt while he was massaging, but he felt great afterward.

After having breakfast with the crowd at the restaurant, Zhou He took a walk with Xi Li for a while, then turned around and went back to his room on the third floor. He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and opened the second port area of ​​the South Third District to select projection.

-

Zhou He opened his eyes and saw a severely collapsed group of buildings. The strong wind blew through the area and made strange noises like deep caves. However, this was not his first time here. He knew that although the place looked scary, there was no ghost at all. After getting his bearings, he started to head towards the sea.

The reason he projected himself here was mainly to test whether his projection could only move within or near the port area, or whether it could travel normally by boat.

This idea came to him suddenly these past two days, or rather yesterday. If his projection could go out, then during expeditions he could use his projected body to go out with the fleet and serve as a mobile logistics base.

After some effort, he successfully reached the shore of the collapsed dock, which had been battered by the raging tide. He opened the system, selected the same speedboat he had used while fishing from the research interface, and directly carried out a second construction. The moment the resources and general blueprints were deducted, points of light began to appear on the sea in front of him, and a new speedboat was 3D printed.

"I hope it will work out."

Zhou He clenched his fists and looked around. He wanted to find a plank or pillar to use as a bridge, but there was nothing there. He could only use the most primitive way to get on the boat—a running jump.

Because of the damage to the dock, the speedboat was at least a meter away from Zhou He. If it were his real body, he might not have dared to jump, but it didn't matter as a projection. Without any psychological burden, he boarded the boat in one step, instinctively grabbing the protrusion next to him until the shaking stopped, and then went into the cockpit to start the boat.

……

An hour passed quickly. Zhou He came down from the third floor on time. There were not many people in the living room. Everyone was outside sunbathing. The summer sun was unbearable, but the autumn and winter sun was extremely enjoyable.

"Hopefully Jarvis will stay?"

Hu De, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, frowned slightly as she listened to Zhou He's words, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Yes, you'll find out the specific reasons when you get to the South Third District."

Zhou He's expression remained normal, and he was in a cheerful mood. After testing, the system's projection could actually move around far away from the port area, which felt a bit absurd. However, considering that the system could project something to the Second Port Area even though there was nothing there, and that it even had a physical form, this was already considered cutting-edge technology. After successfully testing it, he only hesitated for a moment before letting it go.

Although he didn't know what level of black technology the system was, judging from its current performance, it was at least no less powerful than the Sirens. Even the Sirens were wary of the Ominous Contamination, but his ship girls were naturally immune to it. There were also other hidden advantages. Even if the system suddenly said that it wasn't creating a port, but this large world that contained countless small worlds, he would gladly accept it—provided that the system could give him a backdoor to prove it.

"South Third District, that abandoned base? I know."

Hu De pondered the keywords and vaguely sensed Zhou He's meaning. Without saying anything more, he drank the hot tea in his hand, handed the cup to Zhou He, smiled and said, "Please, Commander," before getting up and leaving.

"Tsk, tsk."

Zhou He realized that Hu De had understood his meaning. Looking at the empty cup in his hand, he got up and went into the kitchen with a complicated feeling. His ship girl was really too smart. She could deduce his intentions instantly just by hearing his words and connecting them with the existing intelligence.

His superior's underwear color was so well-known that he could tell everything about it.

"..."

After washing and setting the cups aside, Zhou He walked out of the command post into the rising sun. Despite the wind, he could still feel the warmth of the sunlight, which improved his mood.

"With such a bright sun, why do you insist I wear such thick clothes? Tch."

When Xuefeng saw Zhou He, she subtly approached him and then stuck out her tongue at him as if they had just met. He turned his head, looked her up and down, and laughed, "Even dressed like this, Xuefeng, you are beautiful enough."

Urged on, Yukikaze took off her skirt and put on a thick beige sweater, which seemed to be a size too big. The hem of the sweater was a little shorter than the skirt. She also wore white tights. The only thing she wore was two black bow hair clips. Overall, she looked like a little girl pretending to be an adult, which was very cute.

However, considering Xuefeng's special circumstances, Zhou He changed "cute" to "pretty". Cute = pretty, and there's nothing wrong with that!

"Hmph, lying again."

Xuefeng raised an eyebrow, suppressed a smile, turned around, and ran away lightly.

"This is really difficult."

Zhou He sighed. Just a few days ago, the interpersonal relationships in his own port area were quite simple, but after he said he was going to give Yuudachi a ring, they visibly became complicated.

He could still avoid it when he could find an excuse, but when he really couldn't find an excuse, he felt that his good days were coming to an end.

Despite being difficult to deal with, he didn't think he had made a mistake by giving Yuudachi a ring. Yuudachi warmed his bed every day, and she was cute and obedient. Who else should he give the ring to if not her?

Having reaffirmed his confidence, Zhou He stepped forward and began communicating with the people from various factions: The procedure for this operation is also very simple. Just like yesterday, we will first probe around the Siren base. If the test subjects do not react, we will head straight for the Mirror Sea.

Let Yukikaze lead the charge!

After the communication was completed, Zhou He went to the dock, opened the scientific research system, and selected a transport ship with a built-in speed of fifty knots for construction.

Having previously built two aircraft carriers, 0102, he still had over 6,000 tons of steel and several hundred tons of other materials left. Even after building two small speedboats and the two speed-specialized transport ships, he still had 4,000 units (tons) of steel remaining. The blueprints were the most severely depleted; he only had 10 self-selected blueprints in total, and after using four, he still had six left.

However, these blueprints can also be obtained by dismantling Sirens and completing missions. His main force is still ship girls, so he only needs enough.

"so big!"

The transport ship built this time is 21 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. It is not as big as the first one he built when he made a mistake, but it is still a behemoth for people. The originally empty berths on the left and right were filled. The overall color is dark blue. There is a small empty space at the bow, which is directly connected to the stern by passageways on both sides of the island. The island in the middle retains equipment such as search radar. Although there are no weapons, the equipment is already top-notch for a transport ship.

"Commander, should we transfer some ingredients from Manjuu for storage?"

Yuudachi and the others excitedly surrounded the transport ship, while Bismarck and the other flagship ladies remained unmoved. Hermione quietly approached Zhou He and whispered a question to him.

"I have other plans."

Zhou He smiled mysteriously, and Hermione understood without question, standing quietly beside him without asking any more questions.

Seeing that everyone was familiar with each other, Zhou He called a halt and gave everyone a thumbs up: "Get on board and experience it."

A moment later, Zhou He stood on the shore watching the two transport ships sail away into the distance. After waving to Asahitachi and the others, he turned to Jarvis, who was standing calmly to the side, and said, "I will project my consciousness into the port area of ​​South District 3 in a while. I will lose consciousness and be like I am asleep. Jarvis, could you please keep an eye on me?"

"understood."

Jarvis had already heard a rough outline from Hood, and after confirming it with Zhou He, she glanced at the departing procession, turned around, and quietly sat on a roadside bench, closing her eyes as if recovering her strength.
