Revisiting Azur Lane

"This is our current commander-in-chief."

With the help of the video function, Zhou He was introduced to the royal family and the Iron Blood people by Hood's sister. During the period, Hood was intimidated by Deutschland and others with expressions, but it was useless. Hood only looked up to Bismarck. In her eyes, other Iron Blood people were all chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. You should all be aware of the situation, so I won't waste any more words. Next, I will open the portal to send you out of the test site. Please don't fall behind."

Zhou He on the other side of the video had a tense expression. Before the fight started, he had never thought that he would be able to pull out eight combat forces from the test site. Even if these people were unwilling to stay in their own port area, he could use their combat power to expand the surrounding area, clear out the Sirens, and expand the territory.

By the way, he just checked the tasks. Task ① has been completed, Task ④ has reached 90% completion, and Task ③ should be completed when he closes the test site.

This exploration was a great harvest! I made a lot of money!

Feeling happy, Zhou He disconnected the video, followed the steps to find the coordinates of his own ship girl's location, and then activated the portal. A huge blue halo appeared at the entrance of the control room again. Zhou He turned around and looked at the group of ship girls on the other side of the halo. A smile appeared on his face from the bottom of his heart, and he waved to them.

"Commander~"

With one jump, Yudachi passed through the portal and came to the control room. She kept leaning towards Zhou He and tiptoed. She looked up and showed a smile that was so cute that people couldn't help but rub it. Zhou He's heart melted. He leaned over and put his hand on Yudachi's head and rubbed it: "Yudachi, you worked hard today~"

"Hehe~"

Yuudachi narrowed his eyes and his tail swayed naturally from side to side.

"How childish."

Zuikaku originally wanted to discuss the issue of 'Shokaku's explosion rate' with Zhou He, but was beaten to it by Yudachi. After entering the door, she could only put one hand on her waist and shake her head. Then she turned her head to look outside the portal, and suddenly found that none of the eight people in the test field came over, and there was even some confusion in their eyes.

"what happened?"

She waved over there, but got no response. The other people who entered the door also noticed something was wrong. Bismarck and Hood, who had not yet entered the door, listened to the situation on the other side of the portal, and then looked at the expressions of the people around them. They almost spoke at the same time: "What you see is different from what we see?"

"..."

"Yes."

Tirpitz's eyes wavered, but soon stabilized: "What I saw was completely different from here, a beautiful sea."

"Me too."

King George V of England echoed her, and she looked at Hood with an apologetic expression: "It seems that we have no way to repay your kindness in saving us."

"Really? Even though it was just a short time together, I'm very happy. I hope you can all find a good home."

Hood pursed his lips and smiled at King George V: "I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Most definitely!"

King George V of England laughed and waved his hand towards Zhou He, who was invisible but definitely there. "Your Highness, Commander, I'll ask you to take care of our Lady Hood."

"please."

The chaser and Que Jie also bowed and saluted, and then they saw Zhou He leaning out from the void with a complicated expression on his face: "Compared to this, I hope you can help me take care of her."

"commander?"

Hu De raised his eyebrows and said frivolously: "Is there anything about me that bothers you?"

"not yet."

Zhou He's mentality was about to collapse, and he didn't care what he was saying: "But who knows what the future holds."

"..."

Ms. Hood raised her hand and pushed Zhou He back, then turned her head to look at King George V and others: "I'm very sorry that you saw something strange. Let's set off and find your future."

"Hahaha."

King George V of England smiled happily, and the two people beside him also smiled, knowing that Hood had found an interesting and reliable commander, and there was nothing more to worry about. After saying goodbye again, they walked away and entered another world that Zhou He and others were completely unaware of.

"what should we do?"

Hipper saw that the royal trio appeared on the sea that she saw. Instead of leaving, they stood there, as if waiting for them to join them.

"Foolish question."

Count Zeppelin responded and looked at Bismarck sharply: "What a pity! It seems that I am not qualified to go to the world where you exist. If you meet another me in the future, please tell her for me, 'Don't let these soft things blind your eyes.'"

Go ahead, she stepped into the portal first, Z46 and Hipper said goodbye to Bismarck politely and followed. Germany seemed to want to take the opportunity to say something harsh, but held it back, snorted coldly and walked to the other side, leaving only Tirpitz and Bismarck confronting each other. The atmosphere was so heavy that it made bystanders have stomachaches.

"Bismarck."

Zhou He knew that Bismarck cared about his sister very much, but he didn't know what to say because they had never met. Although it was a pity that he couldn't use the power of these people to advance the map, it was also a gain to make his own ship girl feel more comfortable. He stood at the other end of the portal, looked at the two sisters in opposition and said: "You are the elder sister, aren't you?"

“…Yes.”

Bismarck sighed softly and was speechless for her own clumsiness. But even so, she didn't know what to say. She could only raise the flag in her hand and face Tirpitz: "Tirpitz, I feel very proud when I hear that you are the one leading them. Lead them forward on my behalf. Don't lose to anyone, my sister."

clang.

Tirpitz waved his flag and collided with Bismarck's. His eyes were no longer cold under the shadow of his silver hair: "It's really similar, clumsy."

"Yes."

Tirpitz's faint smile was reflected in Bismarck's eyes. She seemed to know what she wanted to say, but that was something that could not be achieved. Saying it out loud would only add to her troubles. She could only choose to remain silent.

"Before we meet next time, prepare what you are going to say."

Tirpitz saw this, retracted his flag, and walked past Bismarck: "A sad expression does not suit you, sister."

"Yeah."

After the excitement, everything returned to calm.

Chapter 55 Let’s have barbecue today.jpg

“What a pity.”

In the underground control room, Zuikaku glanced at the closed portal, then turned his head to look at Zhou He, who was sitting astride a chair with his head down, looking very disappointed. "Although I can understand your feelings, Commander, it shouldn't be this serious, right? I haven't found Sister Shokaku either, so we are similar, right?"

"What do you know."

Zhou He took a breath and sighed softly: "The sense of accomplishment of salvaging a boat and salvaging a boat is completely different."

Zuikaku scratched her cheek, not really understanding what this guy was saying, but when she turned her head she noticed Yuuri was sitting at the table looking at Kursk's coat, so she walked over to take a look and made an "oh~" sound, but it was a pity that the person cooking at home was not in high spirits, and she was embarrassed to urge him to cook.

"Hermione, shut down the testing ground. We don't need this thing for now."

But Zhou He didn't feel lost for too long. He stood up and looked at the others: "That's all for today's exploration. Do you want to rest in the patrol boat or here? I'll go get ready."

Everyone present looked at each other and talked for a while, and unanimously chose to go back to the ship to rest. The reason was that they were uncomfortable living in the Siren's basement. More importantly, they could not see the sun when they got up from the basement, which seriously affected their physical and mental health - when given a choice, everyone was still quite picky.

"Then let's go back together."

Zhou He smiled and waited for Hermione to shut down the test site. After all the screens on the wall fell into darkness, he picked up Kursk's coat and Shanzhen and walked out of the control room.

"Hey, where's Kursk? I saw her here just now."

As the crowd moved around, Zuikaku suddenly felt that someone was missing. He looked around and found that Kursk had left at some point.

"what?"

Others realized it later. Cleveland even ran back to the control room to take a look. When he came back, he shook his head to indicate that no one was there. He was very regretful: "It was a rare opportunity to meet Kursk, but I didn't get to talk to her."

"They were able to meet because the commander only opened a door. Sooner or later, someone will appear who joins Minato without knowing she exists."

Tosa glanced at her. She had been staring at Kursk when they met just now, but was interrupted by the farewell of Bismarck and others. When she looked back again, she could no longer see anyone.

Even the legendary ninjas might not be as good at hiding themselves as she is.

"I hope it won't become an urban legend in Minato."

Hermione smiled and joined in the topic. Long Island next to her was also attracted and came over to ask about the situation with interest. Shentong also pricked up his ears and eavesdropped quietly. It was a pity that everyone's situation was similar. They could be seen once in a while when they were on a mission, but they were nowhere to be seen at home. They would go out early and come back late without a trace.

Obviously, we all live in the same place, on the same floor.

"I can always spot her. The commander often arranges her to cooperate in combat."

Zuikaku gave himself a thumbs up, feeling very proud of it, even though it wasn't anything to be proud of.

"Wow, this has become an urban legend."

Nagashima exclaimed, and the magical power directly defined Kursk as a rare creature that was extremely difficult to encounter, like the Sakura Empire's 'Nozuchi Snake (Legendary Creature)'.

"..."

It was difficult for Zhou He to relate to the situation because he often stayed in Kursk, but after hearing what everyone said, he couldn't help but feel that "I'm different", so he didn't join in the conversation.

As for how to deal with the problem of Kursk's incompatibility, he already had a rough idea in his mind.

But now, while listening to the discussion of the people behind him, his attention shifted to the task bar page of the system interface. The "one-click claim" above the four tasks was very conspicuous. He didn't feel anything at all when he was playing the game, but now he felt as nervous and excited as if he was about to enter the bridal chamber with his wife.

He glanced at Task ② Daily Home Coin Task. According to maximizing the profit, it would be more reasonable to use all the cubes for construction before claiming the coins. However, he was outside the port area with limited conditions and it was not suitable for "large-scale construction". He could only claim fewer Home Coins.

'One-click collection'

With a thought, Zhou He quietly collected the rewards for the four tasks at the same time. As the tasks were switched, a reward list popped up:

Mind Cube x8, Home Coin x12, Aircraft Carrier R&D Blueprint x3, Optional R&D Blueprint x6, Carrier-based Aircraft Components x3, Optional Ship Equipment Components x6, Furniture Optional Box x1.

Harvest!

This time out of port for exploration, even if we remove the research and development drawings and ship equipment parts that are not needed for the time being, the Mind Cube and the furniture selection box are already a big profit.

"Eight magic cubes, tsk."

This number made Zhou He couldn't help but shake his head. He really couldn't understand. The base was clearly here and the Mirror Sea was here. How could Tirpitz and the others be teleported to another world?

Could it be that this base, this mirror world, comes from another world?

Is this reasonable?

He switched to the attack map interface, and the black vortex that was originally there had disappeared.

……

It was dark when we left the basement, but not completely dark yet.

Perhaps the power supply system had been repaired, and all the street lights on the surface of the base that had not been destroyed were lit up, and the road leading to the beach was bright.

"If only this were a functioning base."

Listening to the sound of insects, Zhou He looked up at the starry night sky, and his mood gradually calmed down. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he turned around and opened his arms to the people who walked out of the command building: "How about we have a barbecue tonight?"

After finishing, he looked at his confused girls, smiled and pointed his finger to explain: "It's just to skewer the meat, vegetables and these side dishes and roast them over the fire. The taste is quite addictive. Of course, I will also prepare some side dishes, so you can eat normally if you don't like them."

"Agree!"

When Yudachi heard about meat, he immediately agreed. Although the others didn't quite understand barbecue, seeing Zhou He's strong reaction, they thought it must be good, so they all agreed. Hermione even went up to Zhou He to learn from him, and Zhou He was generous: "Barbecue is something that anyone can do as long as they master the skills, but to make it delicious, you still have to have a certain level of skill."

Why was Zhou He in such high spirits? It was because he suddenly remembered that he had not eaten barbecue for a long time. Before he traveled through time, it was too expensive to eat outside, and it was boring for an old lonely man to eat alone. Now, it was just right.

All the way back to the beach, the tall patrol boat could feel comfortable and stable from a distance. The waves hit the seawall, making a noisy sound. Zhou He asked the others to go to the patrol boat to take a shower and rest first, while he wandered around in the ruins of the buildings on the shore, looking for stones and ice suitable for use as a grill and moved them to the still upright and stable windbreak wall for assembly.

As he was busy, he suddenly seemed to sense something and turned around, and suddenly he saw Kursk standing in the shadow of the far wall.

If it was anyone else in the port area, they would definitely be scared, but Zhou He was already used to this person's elusiveness. After putting the stone in his hand away, he walked to Kursk and smiled, "Give me a hand, I'll cook mushroom soup for you later."

"?"

Kursk was quite surprised that Zhou He could find her, but thinking about the ingredients she picked turning into hot broth, she nodded and followed Zhou He out of the shadows, and under his command began to pick up and arrange some long stones that Zhou could not move.

"Kursk, you guys are amazing. You can grab such a heavy thing with ease."

Zhou He looked at the concrete block weighing dozens of pounds held in Kursk's hand like an ordinary wooden stick. He had no doubt that Kursk could just carry him around. He envied this superman-like physique.

There is no man who has not fantasized about having super powers. Things that are out of reach are the most attractive.

"..."

Kursk was silent for a moment, then responded to Zhou He: "Commander, you can do it if you exercise more."

"Really? Then I have to put exercise on my schedule."

Zhou He knew that he was not cut out to be a sports student, but he smoothly followed Kursk's advice, smiled, walked to the side, found some weeds that could be used for kindling, and weaved them into a ball. He also bought a box of barbecue charcoal from the Home Store (29 coins left). When he was done, he put them all in the fire trough and touched his chin.

How to make a fire?

He thought for a moment, raised his hand and measured the length with Kursk: "Kursk, go find some thick wood and firewood of similar length. They will be useful for stewing the soup."

"it is good."

Kursk nodded, turned around and disappeared into the darkness. Zhou He also took the opportunity to run back to the patrol boat. In the middle hall, Yudachi, Z23, Cleveland and others were lying down and chatting. When they saw Zhou He come in, they almost all stood up. Zhou He happened to be in need of help with logistics, so he waved to them to the kitchen table to take out the ingredients from the refrigerator to defrost: "I'll teach you how to string the ingredients into skewers."
