Revisiting Azur Lane

What a terrible method. Next time he meets someone from other forces, he will have to disguise not only his appearance but also his voice.

After all, the only ones he could trust, and who would have absolutely no ill will towards him, were the ship girls who were approved by the system and docked.

"Friendly forces? It turns out we are not fighting alone."

Kirov was very surprised, as this was information she had never heard of, but she quickly shifted her attention and pointed at the huge screen in front of them, which showed the true appearance of the base island: the buildings on the surface and periphery of the island were all semi-camouflaged designs, and the real core of the base was under their feet, that is, inside the island: there was another management system inside, which managed an independent mirror-like sea area.

It was very close to Xuefeng's guess. This mirror sea had many mass production workshops for warships and executors, as well as space enough to accommodate a huge number of fleets. However, it did not have the function of teleportation, and the fleets had to be built by themselves.

"Very good, there may be a mirror sea on the other island as well, but we will leave it for tomorrow to explore."

Zhou He looked at the design drawings of the island. Even though he couldn't understand Eagle language, he could see that all the basic functions of this base were intact. There was no need for him to say that he would study mass production plans and production bases. He could just let Mingshi Lingmin come over to debug the parameters and designs and take over the two production bases directly.

"We're going back like this?"

Xuefeng didn't understand these technical skills very well. She looked at Zhou He who held the sleepy Yudachi in his arms and pouted: "If there is no one to defend, we may have to fight again tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter. The military bases here have been completely destroyed, and the service objects have been tampered with to become the commanders. Even if the Siren runs back overnight, it will take a lot of time to use this place to produce a fleet."

Kirov nodded at her and explained seriously.

"I got it."

Xuefeng glanced at Kirov. She really couldn't do anything with a serious and sincere man like Kirov. She turned around and sighed with some disappointment. The bright light on her body had disappeared at this time.

She thought that with such hard work, she would definitely be praised and favored by Zhou He, but was it just her wishful thinking?

"Well, Commander, why don't I stay here tonight and guard this base."

Kirov thought about it and decided that although it was very safe, he still had to be careful. What if it was really snatched back by the Siren?

"There's no need for that. The base is important, but your safety is more important. Let's go back together. We have Xuefeng with us, even if the Siren comes ten or twenty times."

Zhou He shook his head in denial, squatted down and let the dazed Yuli lie on his back, then helped her stand up: "Let's go, come back tomorrow."

"it is good."

Kirov did not hesitate. He locked the system interface and followed Zhou He out of the base.

Unlike the other four, Kursk had been wandering and exploring outside. They met each other when they returned to the speedboat. After some communication, they started their return voyage on the speedboat.

……

In an unknown space with a flashing data link background, three old acquaintances from the experimental agency were holding a roundtable meeting.

"The Council's battle swept your base with a helicarrier attack?"

The tester's words made the observer laugh: "I've already said that those rats might go to the D2 sea area. You won't let Agent XIV support the Purifier, right?"

"Yes, those ship girls are also in there."

The tester had a gloomy expression. Logically, every step she took was correct, so why did she still not escape death?

"You underestimate the meta ship girl. The agent is no match for her. Even the guy in the test field was killed by Xuefeng."

After her death, she opened a new Purification Account and was very happy. She was a little depressed that she was executed, but compared with the testers, she was really lucky.

It was rare for the Council to enter a large rear area like theirs and launch an attack on a base in ten years, and he happened to encounter it.

"How is that possible? Although that Xuefeng is a meta, her energy strength is not up to standard. Agent XIV with a Type III Executor should be able to handle her."

The testers found it unbelievable. The meta that would be eroded by energy and go berserk could be said to be the weakest group of meta. Even though Xuefeng's firepower had not been directly measured, the agent was working with the guy in the testing ground. Shouldn't it be impossible to deal with it?

She asked the Purifier: "What happened in there?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."

Purification parent smiled leisurely and began to make up a story.

Chapter 202 Linking the Past to the Next

It's already daybreak outside.

But Zhou He was unable to get up. He looked down at Yuli who was half lying on him, and squinted his eyes as he recalled what happened last night.

Because it was already very late when they came back, and Yuuri and his companions had been fighting for several days in a row, they felt a little "loose" when they got home. After returning, they took a shower, had a meal and went back to their room to rest. He was still quite busy. He gave Yuuri, who hadn't taken a shower for three days, a thorough massage, and arranged a dormitory for Kirov. However, Yukikaze's massage was reserved because it was too late.

After the recollection, it is time to deal with the work that needs to be done today. It is not much, but it is troublesome and time-consuming.

"Hmm~"

As if she noticed Zhou He's subtle movements, Xili opened her eyes dazedly. Her ears were normally erect, but would become soft when she fell asleep. After opening her eyes and seeing Zhou He, Xili showed a lovely smile, then squinted her eyes and rubbed against Zhou He's chest. The sweet and soft little puppy made Zhou He unable to help but reach out and hug her in his arms, with one hand around her back and the other stroking her hair, feeling very satisfied.

Yuli did not resist, but enjoyed this feeling. After a while, Zhou He finally let go of her hand, rubbed her face and got up, leaving Yuli still rolling on the bed - but after rolling twice, her ears suddenly perked up and she sniffed carefully: "The bed smells like snow wind."

“Ahem!?”

Zhou He was looking for clothes, and he choked when he heard her startled. He didn't touch Xuefeng last night, so he put on his clothes and turned to point at the bed: "This is what you left here, right? Didn't you say Xuefeng would take a nap here sometimes?"

Halfway through his words, Zhou He instinctively restrained his choice of words, looked around at the door and windows, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Xuefeng was not eavesdropping.

Yes, he is now sleeping in the bedroom on the first floor of the new dormitory with Yuudachi according to his idea yesterday. There are two bedrooms. He feels at ease sleeping on the first floor, and feels safe on the third floor, so he has no objection to sleeping on either side. It's just that this side is easy to be seen or eavesdropped by the passing ship girls.

"Haa! I was wondering why I slept so strangely last night!"

Yuudachi was like a dog whose territory had been stolen. He twisted his body around on his back and tried hard to cover up the smell of Xuefeng with his own scent - but Zhou He's nose was not that sensitive, and he had never smelled Xuefeng up close, so he couldn't tell the difference. Yuudachi's reaction made him want to laugh.

After changing into his military uniform and washing up, Zhou He said to Xili: "I'm going to work first, Xili, you can rest for a while."

Yuudachi responded with an "ow", then wrapped himself in the quilt and continued to roll around, having a lot of fun.

"So, what should be done?"

Walking out of the dormitory gate, Zhou He stretched, swept his eyes across the paved road, and started jogging with two small jumps.

"Hey, Comrade Commander is in good shape."

Kirov also lived on the second floor of the new dormitory, but she got up early and went to look for Kursk. At this moment, she and Lingmin were doing sit-ups on the lawn next to the headquarters. As for why she was looking for Kursk but ended up with Lingmin, it could only be said that Kursk had a strong instinct for wildness and ran away early, but Lingmin did not run away. Kirov knocked on the door and led her out. She didn't know how many hours she slept. She couldn't stop yawning at this moment. She took the time to look at Zhou He with a lazy look: "You said you occupied the Siren base yesterday?"

"Yes, the codes inside have been changed to be for commanders only. Are you interested?"

Kirov was the one doing the exercise. There was a yoga mat under them. She counted to 687 silently and was even able to talk to Lingmin while doing some exercises. There were some sweat stains on her tight clothes and there was a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, but that was all.

"Yes, ha... go and have a look when you have time."

Lingmin yawned again as she spoke. She seemed to have left the workshop at two o'clock yesterday, and was woken up by Kirov before six o'clock. Mental work requires a lot of sleep to recover, so she planned to take another nap in a while, and by the way, make a positioning device for Kursk after getting up, and let Kirov to deal with Kursk in the future.

On the other side, Zhou He followed the road into Tiexue's mansion and ran three laps in the yard, then turned around and stopped outside the restaurant. There was nothing wrong with his legs and feet, and he felt comfortable after twisting them. However, he felt a burning sensation in his chest and his heartbeat accelerated a lot. He took a few deep breaths before returning to normal.

“My physical fitness has indeed improved, but not as much as I imagined.”

Zhou He let out a breath and opened the collar of his military uniform to let in some heat. He thought about the improvement that the three medals had brought him. In fact, after taking office here, his physical fitness was much stronger than before when he was sitting at home. It was barely at the level of a normal person, and his current physical fitness was probably above average. He could at least carry Xili on his back and walk down the mountain for more than half an hour. This was much better than before when his heart would beat fast just by carrying Xili upstairs.

If he continues to receive medal bonuses, he will most likely become a superman among humans.

"Then the easiest medal to get is..."

As soon as he opened the system interface, he saw Anchorage walking out of the restaurant door. Her face was filled with smiles, and she walked over quickly: "Good morning, teacher."

"Um, having breakfast?"

Zhou He suppressed his movements and nodded in response. He turned his head and saw Jarvis, and even Xuefeng was there. So he smiled and waved to the two of them, and then said to Anchorage: "Have you met these new friends?"

"Uh-huh!"

Anchorage nodded seriously, and then pointed at them one by one: "The one who is eating is Sister Xuefeng, and the ones who are exercising are Sister Kirov and Sister Lingmin..."

As she spoke, she poked her cheek with her finger and recalled: "Are there Sister Yudachi and Sister Kursk who I haven't met yet?"

"so smart."

Zhou He praised her. The sister Yuuri, whom he had never met, was still lying on his bed. He didn't know how Yuuri would react when she was called sister. Anyway, he could see that Miss Xuefeng had a smug expression like a female devil at this moment, and he really wanted to go up and pull her cheek.

After a conversation with Anchorage, Zhou He walked into the restaurant. Fortunately, Xuefeng had restrained his smug look, otherwise he might not be able to control his hands - he did not sit down directly, but followed the guide Manju all the way to the kitchen. After a conversation with the chef Manju, he purchased 40 home coins (400 kilograms) of ingredients and put them in the storage room.

At this point, he only had 36 home coins left.

After placing his order directly with the chef, he turned around and sat back in the living room. He opened the system interface and found the medal item for 'accumulated consumption of home coins'. The progress was 765/1000.

"You've actually spent so much money?"

Zhou He was shocked when he saw the consumption of more than 700 Home Coins. It was like a person who had worked for ten years and now looked back to find that he had actually earned xx thousand, but he was still short of money and didn't know where all the money he had earned went.

除了这个勋章，其他最容易完成的是‘重樱婚舰数量1/2’‘累计完成日常任务89/100’‘累计出击胜利63/100’和‘累计舰娘掉落16/20’。

The closest to completion are the wedding ship of Sakura Empire and daily tasks. He took a look at Yukikaze and felt that the former could be completed at any time. However, the cumulative daily tasks were a bit troublesome. After all, the Siren Base and the Mirror Sea nearby had been solved by him. The only things left were daily attack victories and daily collection of home coins.

"I don't want the Sirens to come and cause trouble, but I also want them to come and cause trouble. People's hearts are always so contradictory."

Zhou He chuckled, clicked on the task interface and took a look. His eyes suddenly widened a little: at the bottom of the four daily tasks, there was actually a completed 'achievement task'?

Moreover, the rewards are exaggerated, including increased attractiveness to ship girls, 3 self-selected furniture boxes, and 1 "Unknown World Anchor Point".

"What's going on? Was it the quest that was completed when the UI was updated yesterday? No... 'Owning a Sea Area of ​​Your Own' was the achievement quest that was triggered because I occupied that Siren Island?"

Zhou He was shocked. He was too busy yesterday. Plus, he had already received his daily rewards, so he didn't check if there were any new tasks and actually missed it.

But what does this increase in the attractiveness of the ship girls mean? The last emergency task was to increase the attractiveness of the meta ship girls, but this time it is universal for all ship girls? Will it also have an effect on your own ship girls?

Thinking of his own situation, he was inexplicably frightened and did not dare to accept the reward for this mission.

But the 3 optional furniture boxes and the unknown world anchor point at the back are really tempting!

So he chose to receive it, and then turned his head to observe the situation of Xuefeng and the other two. Anchorage smiled and waved to him after noticing him. Xuefeng glanced at him but didn't react, and Jarvis didn't even turn his head back.

"Oh, this is probably to increase the attraction of ship girls outside the port area, which is quite practical."

Zhou He now had an idea in mind. He lowered his head and continued to check the system options one by one. Finally, he found the new "Fleet Research" option in the scientific research column. This function was also very simple. It classified submarines, destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers and other ship types. When a certain number of ships in each category was reached, research could be carried out. The first level of scientific research required 20 people plus 100 home coins. After completing the scientific research, the ship girls of the relevant ship types would get a bonus to all attributes, 10% at the first level, and 2% for each subsequent upgrade.

This is also a very impressive research project, but Zhou He is now penniless and has no money, and does not have the basic conditions for scientific research, so he can only close it reluctantly.

At this point, he checked the entire system and found no other new features.

"Attack adds attributes, reinforcement adds attributes, transformation adds attributes, scientific research also adds attributes, and marriage ships also add attributes. System, you want me to follow the data flow all the way to the end."

Zhou He was still thinking about skills, such as Anchorage's Siren Enemy, which increases a percentage of combat power right from the start. With this skill alone, Anchorage will be much stronger than most other heavy cruisers in the later stages. Unfortunately, ordinary ship girls don't have skills, and even Yukikaze's enhanced search radar is not counted as a skill.

Forget it, once the attributes are strong enough, it won’t matter whether you have skills or not.

After relaxing his mind, Zhou He took a look at the 'Unknown World Anchor Point' in the warehouse and clicked on the description: It is similar to the name, which means that after use, it can record a space-time anchor point of an unknown world.

It is used in conjunction with the anchor point function, and is probably a novice prop given to him by the system.

"Other worlds."

After going over the situation in his mind, Zhou He immediately closed the warehouse and began to observe the situation in the sea. It was terrifying. After a whole night, no Siren approached the base. Even the Siren fleet that was still probing the edge yesterday had withdrawn completely. Not even a single Siren could be seen within a radius of more than 400 nautical miles.

"The Observer actually did this. He wants to keep him in captivity for me?"

Zhou He was very surprised, but to be honest it was okay. After all, he now controlled the base that could produce sirens and had a system that could go directly to other worlds. This blockade did not impose any restrictions on him. Without the harassment from the Sirens, he did not need to be so timid in his actions.

There was no worry about the big world. He opened the map of Nanliu's test site. The map here was much more lively than the outside. There were still thirty people in his family inside, plus the surviving data ship girls running around on the map. He counted carefully and there were actually seventy-eight light spots?

"Only 48 shipgirls are left alive in such a large test site."

Zhou He didn't know how to comment, so he decided to just be a neighbor. He would go over to say hello when he was free in the future. After briefly explaining the situation of the core base to New Jersey Nagato and other leaders, he began to enjoy his breakfast with peace of mind.

"Commander, are we going to the Siren Base later?"

After a while, Lingmin and Kirov walked into the restaurant. The former went straight to Zhou He. His wine-red eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of curiosity about the Siren Base.

Zhou He smiled calmly: "Go ahead, do you want to go together? Call Mingshi too."

"Oh! Eat breakfast first and then go call. Why didn't Yudachi come out with the commander? Did he work overtime tonight?"

Lingmin was not polite at all and sat directly opposite Zhou He. Kirov also sat next to her and was surprised when he heard Lingmin's whispers: "Comrade Commander has shared a room with Yudachi?"

Kirov had already seen the ring on Yudachi's finger. She had no idea about Yudachi's identity as a Sakura Empire official. Since she had chosen to follow Zhou He, she thought that Yudachi's ideological inclination must have also become like Zhou He's.

"Yes."

Zhou He felt helpless when Lingmin teased him. After all, he was forced by the situation. Ever since he gave Yuli the ring, he had not had a normal and peaceful night. Until now, he had never worked overtime with Yuli seriously.

However, now that even the Sirens have withdrawn from this sea area, there shouldn't be any unexpected problems in the short term.

It's time to start practicing your shipboard skills!
