Revisiting Azur Lane

"These two are actually too embarrassed to say what they like to eat, Commander, please prepare a midnight snack for them."

Shentong, who was already familiar with everyone in the Sakura Empire, smiled and explained for Kaga and Tosa, then spread his hands to greet Yudachi, Ayanami and Haguro, and gestured to Zhou He: "Then, we will set off as well."

"Well, Zuikaku and Shokaku, you two should go too, help me keep an eye on them."

Zhou He nodded, exchanged a few words with Bismarck, Yorktown and others, watched his fleet members go away, and before looking away, he glanced at Kursk and Lingmin standing at the edge of the crowd...

Ok?

He wiped his eyes and looked at the spirits surrounding Kursk. When did they get in? He didn't even notice it just now. Was he blocked by Kursk's figure?

"I didn't even say hello to Lingmin. Let's gather in a well-lit area next time."

Zhou He thought to himself, turned and walked towards the lighted command building, tilted his head to glance at the dark new dormitory and the Iron Blood mansion. Now that he had a place to live, it seemed like his family was smaller. Such a big home, but it lacked the atmosphere of homely life.

"Will we continue the big construction tomorrow?"

Zhou He talked to himself.

……

Raising the sight, the sea that should have been calm, reflecting the beautiful moonlight and starry sky, was occupied by a huge fleet that was pitch black, scarlet, and exuded an ominous aura. Wisps of black smoke extended from the south to the west, more than a hundred nautical miles away. Under the black smoke were floating, burning wrecked warships that had not yet completely sunk and were emitting residual heat.

The area where the battle was taking place was actually very simple. It was a figure that stood out in the darkness, surrounded by blue and white dots of light, and surrounded by a number of large warships. Its figure was covered by the smoke and seawater caused by the explosion of shells, and its figure could only be observed for a few seconds after it walked out of the cover area.

It was a girl with long white satin hair draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a black dress and red shoes that looked as if it had been painted. She sat sideways with lifeless eyes on a giant white wolf that was about 1.5 meters tall and more than 2 meters long. The giant wolf's body was covered with simple ship equipment, and on both sides of its shoulders were several almost destroyed naval guns, and on its legs were empty torpedo launchers.

At this time, the white wolf's hair was burned black due to the continuous bombardment, and there were scars all over its body but no blood. Xuefeng herself did not receive any damage. The reason was that she was surrounded by a protective layer formed by shining visual blue and white light spots. No matter whether it was the warship's shells or the explosives in the sky, they would be blocked by this protective layer. However, every time it was attacked, the giant wolf under her would have more scars.

So the scene is like this: Under the moonlight, a girl rides a giant wolf on the sea, avoiding the attacking warships and launching a counterattack.

"It's really strange. This Xuefeng does seem to be unconscious, but the dog she's sitting on seems to have its own consciousness and wants to escape from our encirclement."

The Purifier hiding in the fleet was observing Xuefeng's condition. For several hours, Xuefeng's real body had not moved, only the dog was running non-stop - who is the real body?

She has seen quite a few meta-ship girls, and some of them have indeed seen strange changes in their ship equipment, but when they go into a rampage state, they basically attack anyone they see and will never run away like the one in front of her.

"There has never been a precedent where the ship equipment has taken charge of everything. This ship girl probably lost consciousness not long before she appeared here. Her mind has not yet completely gone berserk, and the ship equipment is executing her last order."

The tester denied Purification's guess. She was knowledgeable and could judge Xuefeng's current condition even without her information.

"What were her last instructions? Look how swiftly the dog ran. Did it seem like it was following a death order?"

Purification retorted somewhat unconvincedly, saying that she was also a veteran and could still see clearly what was in front of her.

"You two, be quiet."

The cleaner next to them couldn't stand these two guys anymore and stopped them: "I've read the records, they are clearly wolves. How can you be so uneducated? I feel ashamed to come out with you guys."

"..."

"..."

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the Clearer spoke with satisfaction: "Tester, you said that the 'Shipgirl Fleet' appeared nearby. We have been following it for so long and it has not come out. Do we have to keep waiting?"

"It's hard to say. I don't have any records of them appearing at night."

The tester stopped playing tricks with Purification and regained his gloomy expression. He looked at the shaky Snow Wind through the gap and said, "I thought this ship girl would lead us to find their hiding place, but it seems that she doesn't know the exact location either."

"Then do you still need to hide?"

The Clearer continued to ask questions, but the tester did not answer. She remained silent as if calculating. However, a light flashed in Purification's eyes: "There is no point in going on like this. We have almost collected all the combat data of this Xuefeng. Clearer, go and see if she has any other abilities."

"it is good."

The Clearer left the shadows. Her ship's armor was a giant shark with its mouth open on its back. Two triple-mounted main gun turrets branched out from the connection between the shark and her, making her look very intimidating.

After appearing, the Clearer directly controlled the main guns on both sides to aim at the snow wind and fired -

boom!

The white circle slowly spread from the muzzle, and the shells approached Xuefeng with fierce wind pressure. Her shells were high-concentration energy shells with far greater lethality than ordinary ammunition. She was confident that she could kill the wolf with one shot.

However, the wolf under Xuefeng jumped sideways to avoid her continuous bombardment and hid in the side of a destroyer. The loss of the target made the cleaner pause and began to speed up and adjust its position to find Xuefeng, grinning and showing its sharp teeth: "That's it, stupid guy, please me as much as you can."

"This guy, could it be that he really wants to capture Xuefeng back?"

Purification's big golden eyes sparkle with wisdom.

"No, she just wanted to play a little longer."

The Tester had worked with the Clearer several times. She was quite disgusted with him at first, but later he even competed with her for work. Even though they were in the same experimental agency, she couldn't understand the Clearer's calculation rules and responsibilities.

"No wonder you are so obedient."

The Purifier suddenly realized, but she still wanted to see what kind of people the ship girls here were. After a while, seeing that the Clearer was about to force Xuefeng into a desperate situation, she said, "It seems that those ship girls will not show up. Let's go out together."

"Impossible. According to the records, they had previously traveled a long distance to rescue the White Eagle Fleet that appeared in the out-of-control mirror sea area..."

As the tester was speaking, Purification Master laughed and bumped her out of the shadows, then adjusted his body in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing?"

"You are a tester. How can you collect data if you are hiding all the time?"

The Purifier asked back sternly, and the tester thought about it and it made sense. She existed to test and collect the parameters of the ship girls. She had died countless times anyway. Even if something unexpected happened, dying one or two more times would not be a big deal. So she and the Purifier caught up with the Clearer.

"Hey! Why are you two coming out? This guy is my prey, don't mess around!"

The Clearer was originally quite happy, but when he sensed the arrival of his two colleagues, he immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry, she is not our target."

The Purifier took a look at Xuefeng's condition. Although she was fine, most of her ship's equipment was destroyed. Even if she had ammunition, she couldn't pose a threat. So he smiled and said, "Don't kill her yet. Let her run for a while."

"cut."

The Clearer curled her lips. If the area she was responsible for wasn't too peaceful, she wouldn't have followed these guys across regions to carry out missions. She would be restricted in doing whatever she wanted.

When will a ship girl rebel in the area she is responsible for?

With the intervention of the three people, the mass-produced fleet stopped shelling Xuefeng, and Xuefeng's vehicle took the opportunity to flee to the port where Zhou He was, while Purification followed behind her with anticipation.

The group of four slowly entered the port area where Zhou He could not see the details, and at the same time got closer to the ship girls who were waiting in the safe zone.

As time passed, the two sides got closer and closer, until the glowing Yukikaze entered the visible range of Zuikaku and others' reconnaissance plane, and the three Purifiers also appeared in the radar detection range.

"Something's wrong. These three Sirens actually followed us all the way here. This is so weird."

The expressions of the people who received the feedback varied. Their original plan was to rush out to grab Xuefeng, but now it seemed more like these three Siren cadres brought Xuefeng to them. Things went so smoothly beyond their expectations.

"Should we take action? The commander couldn't detect any sirens in this area, but he didn't say any other dangerous sirens came in."

Things went so smoothly that it was strange. Some sweat stains appeared on Zuikaku's face and he became inexplicably nervous.

"Wait a little longer, the commander should give orders."

Shokaku lowered his voice, and Hood, Yorktown and others thought the same.

As expected, Zhou He, who had been deliberating for several minutes, looked at the task reward in the task bar, frowned, and chose "Attack".

After receiving Zhou He's order, everyone's thoughts were no longer shaken, but they waited until Xuefeng entered the design range of Bismarck and other battleships and launched an attack.

The group of carrier-based aircraft that had been circling in the air for a long time flew out in a huge crowd. Although the brightness was very low at night, based on the radar feedback, they could directly lock onto the area where the enemy was located. In addition, since Xuefeng itself was luminous and positioned, the locking range was even smaller.

So during the plane's dive, Zuikaku and the others saw the trio of Purifiers, Testers, and Clearers.

"It appeared! It finally appeared!"

At this moment, the Purifier clapped his hands happily while looking at the fleet of aircraft in the sky. The tester next to him also sneered: "Is the base nearby?"

"You are so impatient and yet you still try to resist us. How foolish! Die!"

As the cleaner spoke, light began to accumulate in the giant shark's mouth behind her. Ten seconds later, a huge laser beam that pierced the sky and illuminated the darkness gushed out of the shark's mouth and swept across the swooping aircraft, destroying more than 60% of the hundreds of carrier-based aircraft on the spot! Turning them into a ball of fire and rolling down.

Seeing the results of his battle, the Clearer burst into laughter on the spot.

But soon she couldn't laugh anymore, because the remaining dozens of carrier-based aircraft had begun laying eggs on their heads. Her shark cannon was still cooling down, so she could only call on the testers to quickly launch their planes to meet the enemy.

"Don't make any noise, they haven't come out yet."

The tester was not panicked. He and the cheerful Purifier operated the anti-aircraft guns to shoot down the planes, while releasing the dark carrier-based aircraft into the air.

However, what the three of them did not expect was that they had just shot down so many planes, and during the period of time when they were on air defense, a large number of planes flew over from afar again, and along with the planes, there were nearly twenty ship girls responding and shells falling from the sky.

Boom boom boom!

Dense shells fell into the water, splashing water. The three experimenters could only retreat and separate. The unlucky cleaner was hit on the spot and flew away. After falling into the water, he rolled a dozen times and lay on the water surface with smoke all over his body.

"What a powerful bombardment."

The tester was also hit, but it just passed by and only destroyed a part of her ship's armor. However, the power contained in it made her face change slightly, and she began to control the surrounding mass-produced aircraft carriers for support.

"That fool of a Clearer has exposed our position."

The Purifiers were not hit, and she understood clearly that the first wave of planes were coming to find their location and then launch a precise attack on them.

Unlike the cold data, what appeared on the other side of her was a real, familiar yet unknown ship girl, which made her very excited, but she did not want to be heroic, so she retreated while counterattacking with air defense, leaving the Clearers and Testers far behind, and at the same time observed the contact between Yukikaze and the group of ship girls. As expected, the two sides started fighting.

What supports these ship girls to dare to fight against the out-of-control meta ship girls and them at the same time?

"Interesting, really interesting."

"What are you thinking about? Why don't you come and help me?"

The tester urged the Purifier on the communication channel: "There is something strange about the ship equipment of these ship girls. The values ​​are different from what is recorded."

"In that case, shouldn't you record the data more carefully? Take responsibility!"

Purification parent turned around and questioned the other party: "I will go back first, both of you remember to transfer the data back to the host."

"You guy!"

The tester was angry: "We can sink them all together."

"I can't do that. Have you forgotten their biggest abnormal parameter?"

The Purifier spoke in a natural tone, but what he said cheered up the tester: The biggest abnormality of the ship girls nearby is that their injuries can repair themselves. There have been many battles in the records, but none of these ship girls died.

"So, bye."

The Purifier ran away without looking back, leaving behind the tester who faced the air raid with a cold face and the cleaner who had just climbed out of the water and was a little confused.

"Eliminator, we two can do it too, let's see if they will die."

The testers were completely helpless against the Purifiers and could only make use of the Clearers.

"it is good!"

The Clearer was angry after being hit by a cannon, and agreed on the spot. Then, he was chased and bombed by carrier-based aircraft in the sky like a crow pecking at his hair. The Shark Cannon wanted to charge a second time, but was interfered by the bombs dropped by the aircraft behind it, and the barrel almost exploded. He could only retreat in anger.

The testers were not in a much better situation. After the battle with the testers in the 'Mirror Sea', Zhou He's ship girl realized that these guys only had fierce firepower, but their defense was not particularly strong, so they attacked without mercy, especially Zuikaku, who was just short of a kamikaze, and the testers couldn't launch their planes at all.

The two were beaten back step by step and could only wait for support from the mass-produced fleet in the distance.

However, when the support planes arrived, they found that the ship girls and Yukikaze had disappeared.

"Ran?"

The tester touched his arm and said, "I am not dead yet?"

The Purifier ran away and she thought she was dead.

"These guys! I will definitely give them a good fight next time."

The Cleaner was not dead either. She turned around and dived into the water, cursing. She was going home to recuperate.

"..."

The tester also turned and left, but on the way she retrieved the vague information recorded by the supporting aircraft carrier: while she and the Clearer were under air attack, those ship girls attacked Yukikaze, killed all her wolves, and finally took away her body.

"What are they planning?"

The testers' eyes were grim. It was extremely difficult to deal with this kind of enemy outside the natural algorithm system. It seemed that they would have to stay in this sea area permanently in the future.

Chapter 112: Cleansing the Weakness

"Receive award."

As Zhou He silently recited in his heart, the scarred Xuefeng who was carried on Tosa's shoulders emitted a blue-white light. It was not dazzling, nor did it appear sacred, but it had a kind of warmth that made people feel comfortable and at ease from the bottom of their hearts.
