As a commander, I will never meet a heavy female ship girl

"We can't change anything anyway, so we don't need to know."

The two of them strolled to the seashore, outside of Tianhai's defenses.

"By the way, do you know why you want to live?" Burgundy looked at the night sky, dotted with stars.

"I don't know." Republic shook his head.

"It's instinct. It's the Bible of DNA."

Burgundy laughed mockingly.

"There's no need to resist. Just follow your instincts. There's nothing to be ashamed of. There's no hope anyway."

"But there are always some people who hold out hope..." Republic began, and if it weren't for that flat voice, it would have been quite convincing.

Burgundy pressed the Republic's lips.

"So-called instinct is what's calling out in your pulse."

"So although it's really sad, there's nothing we can do but keep breathing."

"So what do you mean?" Republic looked at Burgundy.

"So, I want to survive." Burgundy concluded.

"Is that so..." Republic said softly.

"I'm sorry," Republic said softly.

Off to the side, a sound of mechanical activity was heard that was too loud to be ignored.

"What?" Burgundy looked at the Republic.

"I lied to you." The Republic instantly deployed its ship suit and knocked Burgundy away.

An iron rod flashing with lightning pierced the heart of the Republic.

"I don't want to live anymore..." She stroked Burgundy's cheek, "Sister."

"Also, although it's really sad, but..."

"Only pain can connect us..."

Chapter 173 Pale Sky

Under the influence of Siren's meteorological device, long-awaited snow fell in the Pacific Ocean.

Although all the snowflakes were mixed into the heavy rain.

The moment the explosion sounded, Burgundy returned home at the fastest speed in her life.

The sound of huge rubble collapsing was like a drumstick urging her to speed up again and again, beating her sanity again and again.

She ran forward, running into the depths of the invisible rain.

Although Burgundy didn't know where his commander would be in the experimental base.

But, when she finally pushed aside the continuous rain curtain and when the countless rounds of flares were launched into the sky——

She only saw Shokaku apologizing continuously and Richtofen staring blankly at the wet cigarette butt.

And beside Richthofen, there was a red dragon suppressing its destructive impulse.

There are also large areas of building ruins.

She understood everything at once.

"I'm really sorry, but..." Shokaku quickly stopped Burgundy who was trying to blast open the rubble with his ship suit.

"It may cause a secondary collapse..." She avoided the glaring scarlet in the baroness's eyes.

Burgundy's first shot landed in front of Shokaku.

The intense unease of something silently disconnecting, and the terrifying palpitations as if she was about to lose something, almost devoured her sanity.

It made her feel like a small boat in a storm, a leaf floating on the sea.

The flying gravel scratched Shokaku's arm.

Her teammates quickly stepped between the two of them.

Thunder exploded in the distance, and God's wrath seemed to be ignited at this moment, with lightning flashing across half the sky behind Burgundy.

The sky seemed to be on fire.

Richthofen threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and looked at Shokaku, "Team Taoyao is directly under Tianhai Base, right?"

"You'd better give us the results of your investigation. Such a violent explosion must have originated from the inside of the mountain, rising layer by layer."

"Except for human factors, I can't think of a second result." The Red Baron said coldly.

She looked at Burgundy again, "Don't get angry at them, it won't help."

"I'm going to find the Republic."

As if to calm herself down, Richthofen patted Albatross and turned to leave.

Footsteps pounded the cracked asphalt.

The giant dragon glanced at everyone present, blew the street lamp away with its tail, and smashed it into an empty residential building.

Only then did he reluctantly follow his master down the mountain.

Burgundy inserted his huge lance diagonally into the ground, then sat on it, stepping on the cross blade.

Coldness and numbness followed her like a shadow, slowly creeping up her heart.

She didn't feel much pain, just like a frozen person gradually recovering by the fire.

I lost all ability to control my facial expressions, my brain almost stopped functioning, and my body still didn't obey my commands...

The ruins of the buildings reflected pale light under the pale flares.

Like a broken skeleton.

The cold rain made her hair, which was soaked with red circulating fluid, stick together like a ball of seaweed.

Shokaku wanted to say something, but seeing Burgundy wiping the rain off his face over and over in vain, what he wanted to say was finally blocked in his throat by the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and he couldn't say a word.

An unknown amount of time passed, and Burgundy didn't want to know how long it had been.

It is no different from that dim and dark world, with no idea of ​​time or years.

There is always a howling wind and a non-stop rain.

In short, that’s it, silently getting wet in the rain.

The earth began to tremble again.

Someone came back here carrying another person.

It should be Richthofen, the one in coma, is it the Republic?

never mind.

Richtofen gently held up the umbrella and placed it on the ground, then asked Taoyao's team for a stretcher, and let the unconscious Republic lie on the stretcher, with his upper body leaning against Burgundy's gun.

He leaned against the Burgundy lance somewhat exhaustedly, lowered his head, folded his arms across his chest, and remained silent.

The puddles on the ground reflected her face in the pale light of the flares.

Just as pale and bloodless.

The same is true of Burgundy and the Republic.

However, it is very mocking and ironic.

It was as if the thunder of mockery or someone's anger was so weak, as if my momentary anger was slowly, slowly extinguished by the rain.

In the end, dust returns to dust, and earth returns to earth.

The humid air gradually climbed up, sticking to people's limbs and clothes.

Like the iron-gray desire for revenge that gradually clung to Richthofen's heart.

This is how human beings are, always like this, fighting and quarreling with each other for various reasons.

The rain and snow happened so casually, gradually becoming smaller and then stopping depending on the mood of some people.

The dark clouds were gradually blown in all directions by the high-altitude air currents.

Then the black gradually turned into gray, and the gray gradually became thinner and dissipated.

There is light shining through the cross-shaped gaps in the clouds.

Shining on the sea, the stars twinkle.

But the stars were heading towards the other side of the sea, towards the sky.

But the morning light is not for everyone here.

In fact, it is the same golden color as the sunset.

Burgundy looked towards the place where the light rose with great disgust.

The starry sky at night has gradually faded and been replaced by light.

The grace of the Lord?

It's just a sprinkle of salt...

She wanted to ask out loud:

“It is always oneself who disobeys the Lord’s will.

But why is it that the one who pays the price and bears the blame is his own commander? "

O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

She stroked the inverted cross around her neck.

The Bible answers: Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

But Jesus Christ had already been crucified on the cross by those who believed in Him.

This time, she didn't feel sad.

The sunlight that appeared from the slowly dispersing clouds was so weak.

Even if it is a glorious sunrise after a rainstorm.

Perhaps it was because the commander would always stand in front of the willow tree on the shore at the moment when the sun was at its strongest, waiting for him to return to the port.

At that time, the sea breeze always gently carried the seabirds back to their nests.

But now, there will no longer be that gentle voice in the sea breeze: "Welcome back, you have worked hard today."

Burgundy Moso scribbled the carvings on the cross—the side with thorns and roses—as if the commander's warmth was still there, as if this could reignite his heart.

The sky is getting brighter, but darkness is still behind.

This sun does not belong to me.

The sea breeze whistled mockingly as it passed through the empty rooms.

Burgundy felt a little tinnitus.

Chapter 174 Intermission: Kidnapping

时间：12月7号8点25分距离警报拉响还有30分钟

Location: Experimental base in the mountain north of XD122 port area

Personnel: Lorraine, Nan Mufeng

After visiting the last laboratory, Nan Mufeng prepared to send Lorraine out of the base.

"Junior, what do you think of our place? Is it promising?" Nan Mufeng smiled and prepared to start painting a rosy picture.

"Oh, senior, I am the commander now." Lorraine nodded her cheek.

"Don't worry, junior. You are a handsome man with a good appearance. You can definitely apply to be stationed here and then pursue both scientific research and military achievements..."

"You have to get scientific research merits and battlefield merits, only then can it be called sound." Lorraine took over Nan Mufeng's words in a sarcastic tone.

"Hmm..." Nan Mufeng's eyes lit up. If such a big spender really came, the funding would increase rapidly, and the salaries and benefits of the people in this base would also have to be increased. "So..."
