Revisiting Azur Lane

After listening to it, Zhou He didn't have a strong sense of reality about what was happening in this world, but he was really shocked by Jinghuaqin's luck. He really ran into trouble wherever he went.

"After so many missions, there are always a few times when you are unlucky."

The Purifier looked calm, she had gotten used to it. At least she could still survive here. They didn't dare to approach some test sites after riots and could only reset them through various means.

"So, who among the arbitrators is the Siren core of this test site?"

Zhou He didn't complain too much and went straight to the point: "You came to us to show that we are capable of handling the problems here, or that you can lead us to evacuate. Choose one of the two. If you don't do either, I will be angry."

"It's Tova, Arbiter Tova XVI. Her ability is to integrate and manage the data of the test field. In fact, we can't create a corresponding machine at all. We just imitated her appearance and behavior as much as possible. It's really strange that without the interference of the host, she actually awakened the memory and ability of being an Arbiter."

The Purifier's eyes widened, showing how surprised she was. However, she soon calmed down and continued, "But she is only our creation after all. Even if she controls the data of the entire test site, she is not even a fraction as powerful as the original body. As long as we destroy the black towers she built, she will lose control of the data in this area and her strength will drop directly. As long as we destroy a small part of the black towers, your Xuefeng will be able to defeat her."

"She is obviously your creation, but you want to destroy her. Are you worried that she will connect to the host computer after leaving this sea area, and punish you for exceeding your authority and conducting simulation experiments without their knowledge?"

Xuefeng sneered. She was wondering yesterday how there could be an arbitrator here. It turned out that these guys imitated him. No wonder the guy in front of her was acting like a traitor again.

Although Siren looks solid from the outside, in fact, internal conflicts often occur due to the complex permissions of each host system. If the same arbitrator has a conflict of authority, the two sides can just talk and the matter will be over. However, the experimental agency and the arbitration agency no longer belong to the same department, so the issue of exceeding authority is too troublesome to deal with.

"Hahaha, that's right."

Purification touched her hair and nodded with a smile - in fact, there was more than that. After observing Watto closely, she found that she had accumulated a huge amount of data during the experiment, which led to a big difference in thinking between her and the arbitrator outside. If this individual was connected to the host and the data was exchanged, this Watto replica would not be able to withstand it and would directly self-destruct, and Watto's host would also experience short-term confusion due to this huge amount of data of "living with the ship girl".

After thinking about it, she decided to destroy it.

"In that case, then things are simple. Next, you, the Purifier, will lead us to find the remaining friendly fleet. On the way, we will destroy these black towers to weaken the strength of Arbitrator Watto, and finally destroy it."

Zhou He in the tent felt relaxed. The Purifier was indeed the key to breaking the impasse. He was already very sleepy, but he still had a few questions to ask: "Since we need to help, nature should also be rewarded accordingly. What do you think, Purifier?"

"Of course. As long as Watto is destroyed, I can take control of the test site. The data of the ship girls in this test site should be of great help to you."

Qinghuaqin readily agreed. She had already inquired about it. This test site was isolated from the outside world and people could only enter but not leave. So as long as all the people inside who knew about the situation were killed, no one would know what benefits she gave to Zhou He's family. If others asked about it, she could also use the excuse of "I can't beat them, I can't stop them".

“You can only take out the data?”

Zhou He was somewhat dissatisfied. He had brushed shoulders with the ship girls outside the port several times. Was it going to happen again this time?

"These chess pieces are data lives that rely on the existence of this testing ground. Taking their data is equivalent to taking them away."

Purification Master started to say something that was half-understood. Zhou He was a little confused and asked irritably, "Is it the same in other test sites?"

"It's different. This is a high-level testing ground, so a lot of resources are consumed to create data life to ensure that no information is leaked. Low-level testing grounds have no confidentiality value, and the chess pieces deployed are low-level. Even if they can awaken, they are just higher-level chess pieces. It doesn't matter if I give them to you to take away."

The Purifier explained it, but Zhou He still didn't understand. Since they could be given to him to take away, why did Tirpitz and other awakened chess pieces and ship girls go to other worlds?

He wanted to say something else, but the information brought by the Purifiers exhausted his remaining energy. Before he could think of an answer, everything in front of him was dark.

……

"commander!?"

Zhou He's projection disappeared, and Yuli sat down in the tent. The first thing she did was to turn around and look for Zhou He, but the tent was empty and Zhou He's scent gradually dissipated.

Xuefeng, who was outside the tent, heard the sound and turned back to lift the curtain. He saw Yudachi, who looked dazed, and sighed softly, "He has gone back."

"what."

Only then did Yuli realize that Zhou He had indeed said that the projection would not last much longer, so she stood up and walked out of the tent, trotting towards the transport boat. She was still thinking about her watermelon!

"This guy…"

Xuefeng didn't know what Yudachi was doing, but looked at Bismarck and the others: "For the next period of time, His Highness Zhou He may not be able to help with reconnaissance, repairs, and ammunition supply. You must be cautious in subsequent operations."

Bismarck nodded, then looked at the carrier-based aircraft taking off in the sky and pointed at the black tower on the island: "The commander said to give priority to finding the friendly fleet, but now we should give priority to that."

The next second, carrier-based aircraft dropped a large number of bombs that accurately hit the bottom and middle of the black tower. The huge explosion directly destroyed the entire tower, causing it to collapse like a building block. The tower body fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, splashing a lot of dust, and the whole island trembled.

"I agree, but the commander is too sleepy, so it's normal for him to misjudge the priorities."

Hood looked away and agreed with a faint smile.

Nagato remained silent. She also thought that it was not wise to look for the remaining fleet now. After all, the main force of the Sirens must be attacking them now, and it would not be very effective for a group of people to go and support them. It would be better to use them as bait to divert the attack and take the opportunity to destroy the black tower and weaken the core strength of the arbitrator.

What is needed to close the mirror sea is not rescue, but annihilation.

"Ugh?"

Purification Qin felt very strange listening to their conversation. He stood up and rushed to the entrance of the tent. It was empty inside. How could there be anyone there?

"You were returning it just now?"

The Purifier was a little confused. She was thinking that she would be able to meet the mysterious commander this time, but how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Suddenly, a hand was placed on the Purifier's shoulder. The latter turned sideways and saw Bismarck's serious and oppressive face: "It's time to attack. You lead the way."

"Aba Aba."

Purification parent made a strange sound.

Chapter 187 Pushing the truth is

In the dormitory room on the third floor of the port area, the young man lying on the bed opened his eyes. What caught his sight was the familiar white ceiling. The light in the room was dim, and the afterglow of the setting sun occupied a small corner of the room through the window. It seemed that it was already evening.

"..."

Zhou He felt a slight headache, he rubbed his forehead with his palm while frowning, and used his other hand to support himself on the bed to sit up, he turned his head and saw the nurse sitting on the wooden chair he usually used beside the bed, dozing with her head down.

After staring at Jarvis for a while, Zhou He finally remembered that he had fallen asleep after his energy was exhausted during the projection outside.

The projection function is better than expected, but not particularly good. It can only be used in an emergency, but it is not suitable for conquering the world.

After figuring it out, his mind became much clearer. He looked out the window and opened the system interface. He entered the dock and took a quick look. The health bars of the ship girls who had not been injured were green, but now he saw a red and black bar. His heartbeat slowed down instantly. He didn't dare to think too much and directly consumed nearly two hundred supply vouchers to complete the "full supply". His ship girls had not been seriously injured in the previous attacks, and now he still had nearly one hundred and thirty supply vouchers left.

After all the players returned to green, Zhou He took a look and felt relieved: "Fortunately, there were no casualties."

There was no reduction in personnel, and there was even an increase in personnel. The new member was from the Northern Alliance and was the Kirov, a light cruiser. This gave Zhou He a little surprise.

However, there was no list of temporary foreign aid ship girls in the dock, which made him feel strange. He had asked New Jersey and the others to find the remaining ship girls in the test site before, but they still couldn't find them after a day? Or was there a lack of communication?

He opened the map with curiosity and found that the scope of this test site was frighteningly large. During the whole day, it was visible to the naked eye that New Jersey and his companions had left the original island for nearly two hundred nautical miles. The entire path was lit up on both sides, but it still only occupied about one-eighth of the entire map. It was obvious that this was indeed as the Purifier said, this was an advanced test site, more sophisticated than other low-level test sites.

According to the map, his ship girls are now gathered on an island and seem to be resting. There are no Sirens nearby, but a slightly farther away there is an organized team of executors searching back and forth. Among them there is even an individual with an independent icon like the Purification Girls. It is a white-haired person wearing a white hooded jacket. Most Sirens have white hair, so he couldn't recognize who it is.

"Arbitrator? Not quite. What is the name of the Arbitrator's subordinate?"

Zhou He muttered softly that while he was asleep, his own ship girl seemed to have gone through a very fierce battle. Just now, he saw that even Xuefeng's health bar was reduced a lot. It was estimated that she had fought with such a small BOSS.

"Commander, you are awake, how do you feel?"

Just this slight sound and movement woke Jarvis up. She looked up at Zhou He, then calmly looked away.

"A little dizzy, but otherwise fine..."

Zhou He looked normal. He was not wearing any clothes. Although he didn't know how Jarvis controlled him during the projection, Jarvis was a nurse and half a doctor, so she didn't dislike him. There was no need for her to pretend.

After a short pause, he touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry, and I don't have enough strength."

"This is a normal reaction. Please rest here. I will prepare a meal for you."

Jarvis hummed, stood up and walked straight out of the room, closing the door.

Zhou He also took the opportunity to get rid of the warm bedding. He was only wearing boxer shorts. Although his hands and feet were weak, he still insisted on taking a shower, put on his clothes, sat on the chair that had returned to its icy temperature, moved to the side of the desk, and carefully chose Bismarck to start a video call.

The system interface flashed, and the transport boat's living room, which was a little crowded due to the large number of people, appeared in his sight. The only problem was the angle. 1/2 of the view was blocked by the front deck of Bismarck. Many people could only see the corner features. The one that was relatively clear was New Jersey, which was located just opposite the video angle.

Therefore, New Jersey discovered it earlier than anyone else. She looked directly at Zhou He, tilted her head slightly, raised her hand and pointed: "Commander?"

"!?"

Her voice silenced everyone who was discussing, and Zhou He took the opportunity to adjust the angle from Bismarck's right hand side to her shoulder. With the higher altitude, he could see all the people attending the meeting. Except for Purification Bro who was leaning against the door like a minion, all the other candidates were within his expectations.

"You've worked hard in the exploration operations. Who can tell me about the situation?"

Zhou He forced a smile, but he himself couldn't see it. The people on the other side of the video could clearly feel that he was a little weak. After looking at each other, they all wanted to report something, so New Jersey raised his hand and clenched his fist to make a gesture of rock-paper-scissors. The others understood and started playing rock-paper-scissors together. After a duel, Zuikaku actually won the championship.

"Hehe, you say, Sister Shoukaku."

Zuikaku proudly touched her fist and pushed Shokaku out. Shokaku had not participated at all. She had been sitting quietly beside Zuikaku during the game. Unexpectedly, Zuikaku pushed her out all of a sudden. She uttered a low cry, then coughed seriously and stared at Zhou He.

"After the commander left, we quickly set out to destroy the Black Spire. On the way, we were attacked by the agents under the command of Arbitrator Watto. After several battles, we defeated their fleet, but the ammunition was severely damaged. We could only fight and retreat, and finally lurked here."

"So it's called an agent. There's one less than fifty miles away from where you're hiding."

Zhou He took out his notebook and wrote down the name. He liked Xianghe's straightforward reports, which made him understand the situation in an instant. However, he still wanted to ask, "Did you discover anything else on the way, such as the forces of ship girls in the test field?"

Hearing Zhou He's casual statement of the enemy's location, everyone was shocked, and then came an indescribable sense of relief. Xianghe replied: "Follow the directions of the Purifier, and walk a hundred miles west to find the living base of the 'Royal'."

"Even if it's a data life form, the Royal Family, as a powerful maritime nation, shouldn't be completely wiped out in such a short time. Shokaku, when it gets dark, fly over there with a plane. I'll take a look at the situation."

Zhou He nodded slightly and just acted according to the plan. After getting the answer, he asked about the strength of those agents. How come even Xuefeng lost some blood?

"The strength of the Agents is higher than that of the Type III Executors, and they have very tricky abilities. The Agent that fought with us looked like an octopus, and she could use electromagnetic interference and sonic attacks. According to Yudachi, she lost control of her ship in an instant, and after being attacked by sonic waves, she became dizzy and confused about her direction. The unexpected contact caused us a great loss."

Speaking of this, Shokaku frowned, "The Purifier said she didn't know the abilities of these agents, and Xuefeng said it was her first time fighting against these guys. Fortunately, Xuefeng resisted the attack and defeated the agent without any casualties."

"Is the intelligence poor?"

Zhou He sighed and wrote down the words "Octopus Agent, electromagnetic and sonic capabilities, restricts ship equipment and causes people to fall into chaos" in his notebook. Then he read it himself. He could imagine that behind the black words was a red price. If it weren't for the fact that his front row had grown in numbers and became tougher, they would have probably been killed by Chu Jian.

As expected of a subordinate of the arbitration body, he was so difficult to deal with. He frowned and asked, "How many agents are there?"

“There are only ten at the moment, but I don’t know if Wattau will continue to produce them.”

Xianghe rested his hands on his legs, his face serious: "Commander, these agents are very dangerous. If we can't eliminate them first, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to defeat the core."

"Yeah, let the Purifier come and talk to me."

Zhou He nodded and looked at the minion Purification at the door. The latter had been eavesdropping. Before Xianghe and the others could speak, she strode over to build momentum. Zhou He glanced at her and said, "I won't ask you about the ability of the agent. Can these individuals be mass-produced at any time?"

"No, the agents are made by Watto herself, which takes a lot of time. Compared with the materials, her database is more consumed. After these agents are defeated, the data will be returned to her through various channels such as the Black Tower, and then she can continue to make them. She can make one per day."

Purification opened her eyes very wide, trying to see through the shadow covering Zhou He's face in the video, but failed. She gritted her teeth in frustration. From the reactions of these ship girls, she could tell that what they saw was definitely different from what she saw. Why couldn't she see the commander's appearance clearly when looking at the same light screen?

"Don't bother. As long as you have evil thoughts towards me, you will never be able to see my true self clearly."

Zhou He looked at the Purifier and wanted to ask her if her eyes were dry, but he didn't have the energy to play around now. He could only give her a serious warning. Then he thought about it and realized that the core of the test site can produce one agent every day, which means that the octopus agent that Xuefeng and the others defeated will be resurrected tomorrow. He didn't know if this group of agents had their own consciousness. If they grow up and cooperate in attack, it would be troublesome.

"If we want to fight a protracted war, the test site is Watto's home turf, so it would be best if we could kill her before she has collected all the intelligence on our side."

Thinking about this, Zhou He felt dizzy and worse. He had no choice but to hold his forehead with his hand and rub it. He looked at Xianghe: "Were you discussing strategies against the enemy before?"

"Yes!"

Shokaku answered quickly. New Jersey next to him wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, she shook her head regretfully. She never thought that she would lose the game of rock-paper-scissors!

"Before the commander was away, we were unable to recover from our ammunition and injuries, and were outnumbered in the battle against the Sirens. Now that you've woken up, we're wondering if we should take this opportunity to attack and find the Siren's main fleet."

Zhou He nodded at Xianghe's words, but it was already late now, and it was more suitable for reconnaissance than attacking - carrier-based aircraft could not detect much at night, but as long as he turned the map away, he could observe the movements of the enemy and us through the system. Not to mention gaining information advantage, but at least he could be on the same level as Watto.

He glanced at the Purifiers and didn't say anything, but just hummed: "You have been running around all day, take a good rest at night, and then talk about attacking in the morning."

"Yes."

Xianghe responded, Zhou He smiled and looked at the others: "Okay, you guys can say whatever you want to say, don't make such a hasty decision next time."

"what!"

New Jersey shouted as if she was liberated: "Commander, you just said that there is another agent nearby. If we kill her now, it can affect the progress of the opponent's plan and also share the pressure of other surviving ship girls."

"This is indeed a problem. Purifier, tell me, are there any survivors at the Royal Base?"

Zhou He nodded, but it was almost night and his family needed to rest. What if they killed two agents in a row and Watto got angry, and the army closed in to encircle him?

"When I came here, there was still a group of people. I'm not sure now, but there are two teams of agents nearby. There is a high probability that there are still survivors, otherwise they would have been transferred away long ago. The most troublesome base is the White Eagle. Many survivors of the defeated base ran there."

Purification parent shook his head and then carried out the analysis in a serious manner.

After two times, she has been able to skillfully blend into Zhou He's team, and there is even a chance that she will be allowed to give advice!

"Then go and get rid of that agent. Gather the team, and quickly approach the royal base after getting rid of the agent. The food I left for you is only enough for two days, and you will also need to find other logistics."

Zhou He made a decision. Although he had a headache, he had just slept for a whole day and it was impossible for him to continue sleeping. At least before 12 o'clock in the evening, he could help guard the supplies. This long time was enough for his own ship girl to arrive at the Royal Base.

The reason why he was so anxious to find the survivors was that as long as he turned the survivors into his temporary ship girls, he could directly repair and supply them. By that time, his fleet would cooperate with the temporary fleet, and it would not be as simple as 1+1. As long as there were enough people, he could even fight back against the Siren head-on.

He is tired of using his brain, and he prefers and is better at taking the flat push route.

"Order!"

New Jersey stood up suddenly, and his tall figure startled Purification so much that it made them take a few steps back. The cadres in the experimental agency were all short people, and tall people like New Jersey were usually in the arbitration agency. They had a natural sense of fear when facing each other at close range.

"Only with the commander here can we give full play to our abilities."

Hood watched New Jersey leave and smiled as he spoke: "This is especially true for New Jersey and other members of the White Eagles. They are more accustomed to fighting wars with strong logistics."
