The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"I know what you want to say, Nevada, so don't say anything." Lin Shen looked at her and said, "You don't believe me, but you believe your companions. This is good. Your position is very clear. This is good. In this way, the relationship between us can become very simple, even though it seems that there was no relationship from the beginning."

"...I believe you." Nevada said with a hesitant smile.

"...You don't have to believe me. It's best not to believe me from the beginning to the end. Maybe your current position is correct. Maybe the path I chose is a dead end. It's stupid, whimsical, and completely out of tune. Who knows?"

Having said that, Lin Shen smiled self-deprecatingly.

Then his tone dropped again, and his expression became unusually cold.

"But on this stupid road to death, there are people willing to walk with me, to die with me. I am responsible for their safety, so next time we meet, you don't have to hold back, it's best to do it thoroughly. That way, when I fight back, I won't have any concerns."

"..."

Those who allow themselves to degenerate are the most foolish.

When others want to help you, they can't even see your hand.

This is a group of people who have given up "hope".

But Lin Shen couldn't blame them.

Because he himself was not sure whether he had hope.

Perhaps he was walking a path that was completely painful and doomed to failure.

Who knows?

No one can tell.

Because no one can see what the future will look like.

"That's fine." Pennsylvania's expression gradually turned cold. "Survival is the instinct of every living thing. Those who hinder others' survival should be prepared to be crushed. Hide well next time we meet, Commander Lin Shen."

After saying this, Pennsylvania turned and left.

After a moment of silence, Nevada turned around and followed.

Even Tang Si, who had always rejected Lin Shen, became silent at this moment.

It's not a pleasant feeling to go our separate ways.

But they still have to make a choice.

Should I be more realistic and enjoy the good life in the ice wilderness, or follow Lin Shen and fight against the behemoth that is absolutely impossible to defeat... Is this also a multiple-choice question?

That's how it should be.

But Towns couldn't feel happy for some reason.

If we follow Pennsylvania's lead, the days ahead will be dangerous, but at least we won't have to hide.

They can live here openly.

This does seem to be the best option.

Lin Shen sighed.

He wanted to save the mutants, but suddenly realized that this goal was too ambitious.

He couldn't save the mutants.

He couldn't even give Glasgow a more stable daily life now.

If he wants to achieve his desired goal, all he can see along the way are thorns.

Anyone who passes through it will be covered in wounds.

Shortly after Pennsylvania left, Glasgow rushed back from afar.

The eerie silence over there made her uneasy.

And Lin Shen's instructions were not passed back.

Even so, Glasgow's first reaction was to return to Lin Shen.

"Commander, are you okay?"

Glasgow noticed the figures that were quickly moving away in the soul network.

Because Lin Shen was not marked as an enemy, the sensation was not very strong.

"...I'm fine."

Glasgow's face was full of anxiety, and even Raffi's little face, which never showed emotions, was full of uneasiness.

Lin Shen let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he forced a smile.

"Why are you two rushing back like idiots?"

"It's because——"

Before Glasgow could finish his words, Lin Shen hugged him.

"Thank you."

"..."

Glasgow was stunned for a moment, then patted Lin Shen on the back.

"Commander, I just finished fighting and I'm very dirty."

"What does it matter? It's just dust and a faint smell of blood. It's no big deal. I'm a man who has slept in a stinky ditch. Why would I care about such a small problem?"

"Commander - you, don't compare me to a stinking ditch!"

Glasgow pulled Lin Shen away forcefully, his face full of shame and anger.

"Okay, okay, it's just a metaphor, a metaphor."

Lin Shen responded with a smile, then turned to the other side and rubbed Lafei's head hard.

"Laffy too, thank you."

"..."

Rafi was silent for a moment, then asked.

"Why did the commander give Glasgow a hug when he thanked him, but only patted me on the head when he thanked me?"

"Forehead--"

"I also want."

"it is good."

Lin Shen did not refuse, but bent down and gave Lafei a big hug.

This mission was successfully completed.

However, some things are not pleasant.

On the other side, an underground tunnel.

"I'll triple your price, no, quintuple it! Bring that thing back to me!"

The man yelled at the top of his voice.

"Noisy!"

Xinyue looked at the man howling like a ghost and wanted to kick him in the face until his cheekbone was shattered.

Just received news from Pennsylvania that they are preparing to leave.

Chu Shuang did not stop her. Lin Shen asked her to keep the USB flash drive. Although he could find a way to pry something out of the man's mouth... it would only be icing on the cake.

"You don't want any money?!"

"I don't make the decision on this matter. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get back."

“So bring that USB drive back to me aaaaaaaaaaa——-”

Although the man was very dissatisfied, he was still put in a piece of clothes and dragged away.

"Commander, can I go back now?"

"Okay, that's enough...what did you call me?"

"nothing."

105. The God of Space

Silver Wing, who still had his clone as a fighting force, completed the final cleanup work.

It didn't take long.

There is no longer any resistance force in the entire Deep Blue Assembly's stronghold.

However, Lin Shen waited until the matter was completely over before returning to the car with the three ship girls and embarking on his return journey.

"The information in that base has been cleared out. The one you have should be the last one."

"How to deal with this thing?"

"This is your trophy, you don't have to hand it over to the organization. But if we share intelligence, I can use my own channels to convert it all into new currency for you."

"Okay, I'll go to the store later and let's take a look at what's inside this thing. It actually took that cowardly guy so long to back it up."

Lin Shen looked at the little thing in his hand. Although he had some guesses, he still had to take a look at it to be sure.

There are three most important things in the base. One is the information in the USB flash drive, one is the person in charge, and the last one is the thing that looks 90% like a weapon.

Two of them were taken away, only this one was kept by Lin Shen.

At that time, he had already made up his mind to take action directly. After all, since the man had prepared such a backup plan, it was impossible for him to leave such a loophole.

But Pennsylvania rejected the man’s provisional application.

It may be based on other considerations, or it may be simply to help Nevada and the others pay off the favors they owe.

After all, if Pennsylvania had really taken action just now, in her opinion, Lin Shen would definitely be doomed, and Hatsushimo would also be completely trapped there surrounded by the two ship girls.

But she didn't do anything, and she didn't even plan to take the USB drive back.

If we use these three things to pay back, we can pay off all the debts Nevada owes at once.

Lin Shen accepted this result.

Although this is not true.

The general commander soul network coverage has blind spots.

It's not about covering just any place, but everything in it can be clearly seen and noticed at all times.

Human attention is limited.

Therefore, after most commanders focus their attention on the ship girls, as long as there is no particularly obvious hostile reaction in the soul network, they usually rely on obvious malice to lock on.

Then it will be subconsciously ignored.

Jiang Qi Kawana had encountered such a thing before on the way to Hyono.

As long as the group of Sirens did not make any moves, did not attack at all, and did not even lock onto the ship girls under her command.

That would have a similar effect to invisibility.

Unless her attention was moved over there, it would be impossible to passively determine it at the first moment.

Active locking is required.

And this step is the gap.

Pennsylvania is obviously well aware of this and has probably dealt with the commander a lot.

But she obviously lacked understanding of Lin Shen.

But this is nothing. After all, so far, no one can say with certainty that they know Lin Shen very well.

For Lin Shen, he could pay attention to everything in the soul network detection at the same time.

He is able to multitask.

The only difference is the amount that is distributed.

No matter how he distributes attention, at least 30% of the attention will be on his side.
