Revisiting Azur Lane

"Tsk."

Unnoticedly concealing his envy of Zuikaku's behavior, Zhou He also informed them of the arrangements for the attack. The originally quiet hall suddenly became lively. Everyone was ready to go, looking like they had been annoyed with the sirens outside and wanted to kill them.

As for Zhou He's personnel deployment, it did not encounter any opposition. Everyone unexpectedly became a team. Even Jean Bart, who was almost alone, met Hutten after being introduced by Yudachi. As a result, the two battleships developed a subtle confrontational emotion after hearing that they were assigned to the same group.

Overall, under Zhou He's mobilization, everyone began to take action.

Chapter 103 From fighting to killing monsters

Zhou He was very impressed with the execution efficiency of his own ship girl. Basically, all the crew members had left the port within ten minutes after the attack was confirmed. Since this time the fight was close to the island, Zhou He could not see the situation within a radius of thirty nautical miles around his own port, so he simply lay down and gave the command to Bismarck, Zuikaku and Cleveland.

Changdao was grabbed directly from the room and looked extremely pitiful when leaving the port.

"Well, everyone is leaving. Is there anything we can do here?"

After personally sending away all the people who had attacked, Zhou He enjoyed the cool breeze for a while, then turned his head to ask Hermione who had been left behind by him.

Previously he could still see the battle situation, but today he can’t see it at all. He can only act as a remote power bank to replenish ammunition and repair battle damage.

"..."

Hermione hesitated a little. Usually when others were attacking, Zhou He would find a quiet place to rest and wait for everyone to finish fighting. Today, he didn't rest, which made her a little unresponsive.

But it would be a dereliction of duty for a maid not to be able to give a satisfactory answer to her master. She observed the surrounding situation briefly, clasped her hands together and smiled: "By the way, according to my observation, everyone, especially the destroyers, are moving closer to the dock at this stage. Commander, perhaps you can take this opportunity to go there and make some arrangements."

"After all, that place is more suitable for playing than this one."

Zhou He had anticipated this, and the renovation of the residential area at the dock was indeed in the plan: "Let's go and take a look."

He planned to build an amusement park in the vacant land behind the residential area. This thing is quite expensive in the Home Mall, so he had to go and check it out to see if there is such a large vacant land.

"Yes~"

Hermione smiled faintly and followed Zhou He onto the dock.

……

While Zhou He was conducting the field investigation, the three teams that left the bay went around to the north side of the island as planned.

Yesterday, Zuikaku and his crew had a battle with the Sirens in the northwest, resulting in a large number of Sirens here. However, today, the number of ship girls participating in the battle from the Zhou He family is far more than usual. A total of twenty ship girls appeared at the same time, and nearly half of them were battleships, aircraft carriers, and other main battleships. Taking into account the increase in numbers, the firepower is sufficient to overflow.

After Shuanghe and the other two from Changdao launched carrier-based aircraft to obtain intelligence on the surrounding Sirens, they walked out of the island's safe zone and encountered the Sirens. The opening of three battlefields instantly reversed the atmosphere on the sea, which had been gloomy due to the rain. The war stretched for more than ten miles, and the flames burning on the wreckage of the Siren and the aircraft groups interweaving in the sky lit up the sea area.

The rapid expansion of the battlefield caused the mass-produced Sirens in other parts of the island to begin to move towards the northern battlefield. However, because the island itself had cognitive modification capabilities, a large number of black and red warships moved around the island. Looking down from the sky, this area seemed to have formed a huge black and red "vortex".

"No! The Siren's aircraft carriers are too numerous. We can't defeat them at all. We're going to lose air supremacy!"

Changdao, who was forcibly pulled out to work, started screaming less than an hour after the war broke out. If you didn't know, you would think that the shells hit her face.

However, Zuikaku and Shokaku beside her also looked a little pale, with sweat dripping from their foreheads - the Sirens did not react when the battle just started, and the three of them took the lead in dealing with several nearby Siren aircraft carriers. Later, Siren aircraft carriers farther away began to provide support in increasing numbers. These Sirens seemed to have friendly recognition capabilities, and there was almost no accidental injury. During the struggle, the three of them were surrounded and suppressed by the Siren's increasing number of planes, and the air front could no longer be maintained.

"Z23, Spey, pull back."

The three aircraft carriers were within the safe range of the island, while the others, including the Bismarck and other battleships, had left the safe area and were manipulating their equipment to engage in firefights with their opponents. When they felt the pressure from the air and received notification from Shokaku, Bismarck decisively issued a retreat order, and Hood also contacted Cleveland and Zuikaku at the same time to inform them of the retreat proposal and action steps.

The back row covered the front row, and the front row helped with air defense. With Zhou He's timely remote repair, everyone returned to the safe area safely and landed on the northwest slope coastline where they had just visited yesterday.

"There are too many Sirens! They are simply cheating!"

The further they rushed forward, the more intense the attacks became. The destroyers in the front that were responsible for attracting firepower were so tired that they sat down directly on the beach and grass. Yuudachi even rolled on the grass.

"..."

Bismarck remained standing, gazing at the direction of the black smoke rising in the distance. The battle did not last long, but in the surprise attack, they sank at least twenty battleships of the Siren, and an unknown number of destroyers and other ships were damaged.

But the density of the Sirens increased instead of decreased, like a wall made of steel torrent, trapping them firmly inside.

"It seems that those experimenter-level sirens are unable to find our exact location, so they want to block this sea area with numbers."

Hood used his hands to push the hair that was stuck to his cheeks with sweat behind his ears and came to Bismarck's side.

She believed that this was the current situation, or anyone who came could only come to this conclusion - the number of mass-produced Sirens gathered in this area of ​​more than 100 seas was probably an astonishing four-digit number.

It's simply inhumane!

“Simple and effective method.”

Bismarck retracted his gaze, stepped on the sand and came to Zuikaku and Shokaku who were sitting together, squatted down and looked at the two of them: "The Siren fleet was attracted by the battle. The number is troublesome, but it is also a good opportunity to deal with their capital ships. Do you still have the strength to fight?"

"Don't underestimate us! Just tell us what you have planned."

Shokaku didn't say anything. Zuikaku stared at Bismarck seriously. Even though she had a terrible headache right now, she couldn't lose face!

"You may have also discovered that these sirens will not approach the island, but will linger around it."

Bismarck stood up and looked at the dark mass in the distance. "Perhaps we can stand where they can't see us and reduce the number of their battleships."

In other words, it means standing in a safe zone and using the attack distance bug to spawn monsters.

"…what do you need us to do?"

Zuikaku's eyes drifted away. She had been standing in the safe zone the whole time and never expected this.

"The range of Hood and I's artillery fire can only reach hostile targets within ten nautical miles at most, far from reaching the enemy's aircraft carriers."

Bismarck slowly laid out his plan.

Next, she will mobilize Hood, Kaga, Huten, and let Bal and others fire from left and right to attract the Sirens' attention, while Zuikaku, Shokaku and the other two will take advantage of the departure of the Sirens' destroyers, light cruisers and other anti-aircraft ships to launch planes to attack the Sirens' aircraft carriers at a farther range.

"Row."

Ruihe didn't think much about it. Since Zhou He was able to provide long-distance supplies, such combat was not stressful at all for her.

She didn't have any intention of winning unfairly. After all, with the number of sirens, there was no need for her to fight with them in a fair way!

"Do your best."

After leaving these words, Bismarck stood up and started to communicate with others. Half an hour later, everyone regrouped and the team was reorganized, from three teams to two teams leaving. The remaining three aircraft carriers stood there waiting for the opportunity.

"Sister Shokaku, if we fight like this, if a new ship girl is born, won't she die miserably?"

Zuikaku, whose headache had eased a lot, had some lively ideas again. Shokaku was troubled by what she said, "I hope Akagi-senpai and the others won't show up at this inopportune time."

Zuikaku scratched his head, not knowing how to respond.

Under Bismarck's operation, the battle soon started again, but there was a small problem with the plan, that is, the number of the Siren fleet was too large, and there was no way to achieve the result of "luring the tiger away from the mountain". Even after being bombarded, the Siren aircraft carrier automatically released its carrier-based aircraft, which circled in the sky. Zuikaku and his men could not find any opportunity for a sneak attack, and could only bomb the front row of Sirens on the edge of the safe zone, which was considered a contribution.

Perhaps it was the black smoke and flames from the numerous Siren wreckages that caused the originally calm sky to begin raining again.

……

'Get Mind Cube x2'

After conveying the order to return to Bismarck and others, Zhou He received the reward for the daily attack mission, which was a random number of Rubik's Cubes from 1 to 3. It was considered good to get 2.

"That's great. If I keep fighting like this, getting rich is not a dream. I am actually the Sword God of Shilipo."

Standing under the eaves and watching the heavy rain outside, Zhou He was in a subtly good mood. If it weren't for the Siren blocking the door, he really wouldn't be able to complete his daily task of attacking and killing the enemy.

The only pity is that although the battle sounded so intense today, no new KanColles were dropped. Could it be that there are some specific conditions for the drop of KanColles?

"Commander, it's not a good thing for us to be trapped by the Sirens for a long time."

Hermione kindly reminded that she didn't understand anything about the Sword God of Shilipo, but she could understand the previous part.

"Not in a hurry."

Zhou He knew that Hermione was worried about not being able to obtain intelligence from the outside world, but as long as he could complete the daily tasks, he would have more backup hidden energy. All he needed next was a good day, a sunny day, to carry out large-scale construction and increase the number of combat personnel.

Those who are gathered here are all stupid mass-produced ones. They can be dealt with if you use your brain and spend some time. What you need to be wary of is that the experimenter sends executors to block the door, or the experimenter himself comes to take charge. That would be real trouble.

"Let's go back first."

Without much discussion, Zhou He waved his right hand and a tent appeared in his hand. He handed it to Hermione, took one for himself, and directly carried the unexpanded tent on his head, shielding himself from the rain and started running towards the command building.

Hermione was amazed at Zhou He's quick thinking and followed him with the tent on her head.

Chapter 104 Mass Production Ship Planning

"commander!"

After waiting for a long time, everyone, all soaked by the rain, hurried back to the port command center. Seeing Zhou He sitting inside leisurely drinking tea, they felt subtle and complicated. However, Yuli still stepped forward first, leaned towards Zhou He as if he was not soaked at all, and began to complain with a pout about the Siren being "cheating" and "unsportsmanlike".

In response, Zhou He just laughed and reached out to help Yuli push away the hair stuck to her cheek: "If there were a lot of people in our port area, I would also use human wave tactics to fight the enemy."

Zhou He's personal understanding of Sirens is that there are too many of them, so no matter how many Sirens come, they are all normal to him. He patted Yudachi's head with his hand and said, "Hurry up and take a shower, don't catch a cold."

"Oh~"

Yuli ran away obediently, leaving a large pool of water in front of Zhou He, making the scene look a little strange.

"Since the Commander has already put himself in your shoes, I think you have already thought of a way to deal with the Siren, right?"

Jean Bart, who was passing by, stopped for a moment and stretched out his hand to smooth his wet bangs. He stared at Zhou He with his red eyes, so calm that it was a little weird.

"Unfortunately, our current combat power is not enough to break through the Siren's numerical blockade."

Zhou He, who had been threatened by Tosa many times, was no longer afraid of such a situation. He spread his hands and smiled.

"makes sense."

Jean Bart closed his eyes, opened them again, said sorry to Hermione beside him (for dirtying the floor), and left in a hurry. The others did not stay. Some went straight into the bathroom, and some went upstairs. Suddenly, the bustling hall became quiet again. Only Zhou He and Hermione were left holding mops to clean up the water stains and footprints on the floor.

Half an hour later, everyone who had returned in a mess became beautiful again. On the contrary, the house was too big, and Zhou He felt a little hot from repeatedly mopping the floor. He unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, looking unkempt, but sitting upright, with a kind of incongruous beauty.

Fortunately, everyone had already teased yesterday, and this time the "failure" made everyone's mood a little serious. Hood and other members with strong expressiveness narrated the whole process of this battle and the failure of the change of tactics.

The most annoying thing was that there were a large number of submarines among the Sirens near the island, which affected the operation at the beginning of the battle.

"Really? The number of Sirens is greater than I expected."

Zhou He tugged at his collar, waited for the heat to dissipate, and buttoned up his shirt. He thought for a moment, "If I were to say this, it might damage morale. If we want to deal with this number of enemies, we can only rely on you to attack continuously. Starting tomorrow, I will wake up new shipgirl companions as appropriate to gradually increase our combat effectiveness."

Leveling up in the game is also a boring thing, needless to say in reality. The bigger problem is that you have to consider the morale and mood of your own ship girls. Being blocked at the door for a long time will cause psychological pressure. He has to find a way to find something new for his own ship girls to experience besides combat.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly raised his finger and said, "However, in view of this situation of being outnumbered, I think we should also build our own mass-produced warships to assist you in the battle."

"really."

Regarding this proposal, no one present showed any surprise, because most of their memories were directly inherited from the "prototype ship" warship, and they were more familiar with fighting in warship form than fighting as ship girls.

Cleveland, who was sitting at a table, clasped his hands together and leaned forward slightly. His expression became serious in this formal meeting: "We know that the commander can build a new warship in a short period of time, but the implementation of this plan cannot rely on your efforts alone. It requires a more complete plan."

"Regarding this, my plan is to transform the other islands we have discovered and turn them into military bases for producing warships. This plan is a long-term process. I have a general idea in mind. Since you all agree, let's put this project on the development sequence."

Zhou He continued to expand on the topic. The purpose of bringing up this project was simply to divert the attention and thinking of his own ship girls. Today was the first head-on collision with the Sirens surrounding the island. Everyone would definitely feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable if they returned home in a mess without any results. After a few more fights, they would have a better idea of ​​what was going on and get used to it. The atmosphere of discussion would not be so depressing.

To be honest, Zhou He even admired himself. Before he traveled through time, he was a procrastinator and a patient with transient amnesia who could barely talk to others and couldn't even use the information he looked up online to write his novels. But now, he can actually apply all the theoretical knowledge in his mind in reality one by one.

Could this be the reason why the rumor goes, 'You won't know how good you are unless you push yourself'?

"It is necessary to build a mass-produced fleet, but the problem at hand is the Sirens blocking our way. If we don't break their blockade, we won't be able to deploy further."

Glancing at Hood and the others who were cooperating with Zhou He's speech to change the topic, Bal did not defect in public. Instead, she walked behind Zhou He's chair and lowered her voice a lot - she was somewhat familiar with this situation of being besieged, so she was very unhappy and wanted to fight back against Siren as soon as possible.

"It's okay. You can get rid of all these Sirens in a week at most."

Zhou He leaned back on his chair and gave Jean Bart the lowdown.

"A week?"

Jeanbal's eyes moved slightly. She didn't know the basis of Zhou He's judgment, but as a commander, he didn't say anything final but he wouldn't talk nonsense. He hummed in response, then stood up and turned into the kitchen. Hermione followed him and told him that there were no additional ingredients and nothing to eat.

"..."

Watching the two people go into the kitchen and come out, Zhou He looked outside the door where it was still raining heavily. The battle between ship girls was very exhausting, and everyone must be hungry at this moment, so he got up, holding the umbrella he had found in advance, and went out and walked quickly to the restaurant to borrow some ingredients from Chef Manju.

But before he could walk into the kitchen, he heard conversations and footsteps at the door. He turned around and found that other people were following him with umbrellas.

"Commander, I personally think that we should set up a safe passage to the restaurant even on rainy days!"

U556 and Bismarck were holding the same umbrella. When she saw Zhou He peeking his head in, she raised her hand and actively suggested - she liked to take a bath in the water, but she didn't like getting wet by the rain, as it would make her look casual.

"And over there in the hot spring pool!"

While someone was speaking, Harman, who rarely spoke in public, added a sentence with her cat ears pricked up. It can be seen that she really likes taking a hot spring bath.

Facing the others who echoed him, Zhou He pursed his lips and smiled: "Got it, I'll start installing it after the weather clears up."
