Revisiting Azur Lane

Zhou He nodded, and after fully resupplied everyone in the battle, he took Hu Teng along the dock and walked into the industrial area of ​​the dock. He found the workshop that was rumbling with production. He looked at the cat inside who was holding a piece of mechanical parts and looking around, and walked in: "Akashi!"

"Meow?"

Akashi was rarely called. He tilted his head and saw Zhou He put down the mechanical parts and came over to look up at him: "Commander, what's the matter, meow."

"I have a technical job and I need your help, Akashi."

Zhou He's eyes turned. He remembered that Mingshi had never attended a combat meeting... After thinking about it, he got straight to the point and squatted slightly so that Mingshi could look at him at eye level: "Next, Hutten and Count Spee will go to the Siren base. I hope Mingshi can sneak in... to observe and learn the whole process of mass-produced Siren being made, as well as Siren's technology of converting matter."

"Meow?"

Akashi blinked. She didn't quite understand what Zhou He was saying: "Commander, did you take down a Siren base?"

"Almost. I have captured a talking Siren. I can have her take you into the Siren base."

Zhou He nodded.

"?"

The ahoge on Mingshitou formed a question mark shape. Are these two things actually similar?

"This is a chance for us to see the complete Siren technology. At least until the battle outside is over, the Sirens will not attack us. Akashi, you can rest assured about your safety."

Zhou He put his hand on Mingshi's petite shoulder, his tone and expression were very serious: "Mingshi, I need your skills."

"Meow…"

Akashi looked at Zhou He, then looked at Hutten and Count Spee who were observing the situation in the workshop, hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I understand, meow."

If anyone else had told her that it was safe to go to the Siren base for a stroll and then go home, she would have jumped up and hit him (her) on the knee with a wrench, and would have even suspected that the Sirens had sneaked into the port area to engage in human trafficking. But Zhou He - if he encountered any danger, she would definitely give Zhou He's suspected overloaded brain a good beating when she returned.

"Very good! You are worthy of being our chief researcher in the port area."

Zhou He praised Mingshi with great joy. He even thought that if Mingshi didn't agree, he would just tie her up and take her away. After all, being able to enter the Siren Base was something that was impossible unless it was a special situation like the current one.

Since Akashi volunteered to go and study, that would be the best thing.

So he stood up and introduced Akashi to Hu Teng and the others, as well as what they should do after following the Purifier to the Siren Foundation.

"That sounds a lot more fun than spying on the Sirens."

Hu Teng didn't think that Akashi could learn anything at the Siren Base, but such an escort mission deep into the enemy camp had just met her satisfaction standards.

"Well, you guys should leave earlier. I should almost call Xuefeng and the others back. We can't end the battle so early."

Zhou He chuckled, helped Akashi shut down the running workshop, and distributed the sleeping bags for camping in the wild to Akashi, Hutten, and Count Spee. As for the food problem, Siren had the material conversion technology, and he believed that the Purifier would help him solve it.

"Is it almost over?"

Hu Teng was quite surprised when he returned to the dock. The heavy atmosphere in the port before the attack was real. It had only been a short time since the attack, and this so-called ominous entity only looked dangerous?

"No, but it's only a matter of time before we win."

Zhou He glanced at Xuefeng who had rushed into the black storm. He didn't know what had happened inside. Anyway, all the black spots inside were finished, but the number of black spot enemies outside was still increasing.

"Isn't the core hidden inside? Do I have to kill all these black spots before the storm will disappear?"

Xuefeng was very efficient, but the ominous entity also exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that one of the seven enemies inside would be the core, but it turned out that there was not one. No wonder the Purifier would take the initiative to seek cooperation. Taking into account the mental pollution, this thing is indeed quite troublesome.

But there is a small problem, that is, are the mass-produced types produced by the Siren Base nearby all specialized in anti-pollution? Aren't you worried about aiding the enemy?

If it is specialized in anti-pollution, then even if it is just her and the tester, they should be able to deal with the ominous entity here. Is she worried that he will send people to steal her, or is dealing with the ominous entity a higher priority than dealing with him?

Or maybe in the internal decision of the Sirens, the bad omen belongs to the invaders, and they and their side are all defenders. If there is no external enemy, they will fight a civil war, and if there is an external enemy, they will unite?

'I don't understand, but it doesn't matter.'

Zhou He almost got himself dizzy. No matter what, what he had to do now was to steal Siren's technology and complete the urgent task given by the system.

As for the Purifiers turning against him?

Whether the Purifier can defeat Hutten and Count Spee in a short distance is one thing. Moreover, if they break up with them at this point in time, even if the Purifier sinks Hutten and his three men, it will only kill three members of his family and will not hurt him at all. This is an act in which the input and output are not equal.

If she really dared to make such an act of betrayal, he would definitely make all the Siren camps in the experimental world pay the price together.

"We're off."

Hu Teng nodded slightly. If that was the case, then she also knew how to deal with the two 'partners', the tester and the purifier.

Helping Akashi carry the sleeping bag, Huten and Count Spee went into the water first. Akashi hesitated for a moment and followed them. When the three of them passed by Nagashima who was pulling back the Builder's body, Akashi suddenly opened his eyes wide when he saw the thing under the water. He turned around on the sea and waved to Zhou He, calling out: "Commander! This thing you dragged back must wait for me to come back to study it together!"

"Ah? Got it!"

Seeing that Akashi was so excited that he seemed to be about to jump up, Zhou He also waved in response: Regarding the corpse of the builder, he had two ideas. One was to dismantle the system to see if any rare materials would drop, and the second was to give it to Akashi for research to see if he could find some equipment and technology that he could use.

I didn't expect Akashi to be so sensible.

Chapter 133 So-called Natural Disasters

As the war progressed, rolling black clouds overwhelmed the clear sky of Zhou He's home. The strong wind brought by the approaching storm rushed into the port area from the entrance of the bay, directly covering Zhou He's face at the seaside, forcing him to hide in the warehouse on the dock. Fortunately, the houses in his family were all produced by the system, and the main feature was that they were sturdy, and no strange noises were made even in the wind.

"It's broken. The door is blocked."

Zhou He turned on the lights in the warehouse and could see that there were a lot of things piled up deep in the warehouse. Those were the products left after the system dismantled the warships and differentiated the materials. Akashi and the others usually took materials from here for research and experiments.

But this is not the point. Zhou He used his magical powers to come to the small window beside the door and looked outside. Because of the approach of the black storm, the light dropped significantly and the visible range of the naked eye became very low. From here, Zhou He could not even see the entrance to the bay. He could only see the sea water near the shore rolling wildly like it was boiling. At this moment, the sea was like a rioting monster, which made people feel afraid.

"Fortunately, Hu Teng and the others left early, otherwise we would not be able to get out."

Reaching out and touching the cold window, Zhou He switched the system interface to the dock and started a video call with Shokaku. Soon, Shokaku, who looked very embarrassed, appeared in front of the camera. Perhaps it was the lens filter of the system, but Zhou He saw that Shokaku's side was not particularly gloomy. Just like his side, the wind there was visibly strong, and there were even traces of small tornadoes floating in the air.

"Commander? Commander! Are you okay over there?"

In the dim sky, any light was conspicuous. Zhou He, who was under the background light, was quickly noticed by Xianghe. She held down her flying hair with one hand, and her expression was no longer as calm and gentle as usual. Her voice was blown by the wind and sounded a little urgent: "I'm very sorry, our operation failed this time."

Yes, even with the super combat power of Yukikaze, the ship girls of Zhou He's family still failed to complete the comprehensive killing of the ominous entity. Instead, they were defeated as the storm continued to approach them. At this time, Shokaku, who was having a video call with Zhou He, had retreated to the safe zone, and the others were similar. Even the usually elegant Hood looked unusually embarrassed at this time. Even when they were warships, they could not contend with such a horrible natural disaster. After becoming a "small weight" like a ship girl, it was even worse. When the black storm approached them about ten nautical miles, they could no longer stand steadily. The battle that could have been fought back and forth turned into a one-sided crushing of the omen after the storm approached. They retreated while fighting and went straight back home!

"It's okay, as long as you come back safely. No one is left behind, right?"

Zhou He took a breath. When he sent Hu Teng and the others away, he was still thinking that the Purifiers alone could deal with these ominous entities. In a blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face. He didn't know how strong the black storm was, but he was sure that it was no less than level ten. The closer to the storm, the stronger the wind. The intensity of the snow wind that rushed directly into the core of the storm and hit people was completely beyond his cognition. The beauty of the numbers was all there.

"No, everyone came back together, including Yukikaze."

Xianghe glanced at everyone who was trying their best to preserve their clothes, gave an affirmative answer, and at the same time reminded Zhou He, "Before the main body of the storm approaches, return to the headquarters and close all the open doors and windows."

"Got it, you guys should come back quickly too."

Zhou He glanced at the wind outside the window, responded and said a few more words, then turned sideways to leave. As a result, Shentong was also looking outside the window. The two of them were standing a little too close and almost bumped into each other. Zhou He reacted quickly and subconsciously stepped back and hit the glass with a bang. Shentong was also startled and took several steps back before hurriedly apologizing.

"It's okay. We shouldn't stay here. Let's go back to the headquarters first."

Touching his back which was a little feverish, Zhou He took off his hat and stuffed it into his arms. He nodded to Shentong and stepped forward to open the warehouse door. There were two doors, one was more than four meters high, and the other was a normal security door that opened inward. The door was a metal door, and he could feel a sense of security just by opening it.

With just a slight opening, the strong wind from outside rushed in, blowing Zhou He's hair up. Knowing that he could not wait any longer, he cautiously went out against the wind, listening to the whirling sound above his head, and slowly moved forward along the wall of the warehouse.

“That’s the horror of natural disasters.”

Shentong followed closely behind Zhou He. The ship girls all had strong physical fitness, and their strong muscle density made their weight increase a lot. Although Shentong was only about 1.65 meters tall, his weight was a little higher than Zhou He, and he walked very steadily.

It took Zhou He a long time to return to the command building with the support of his supernatural powers. The first thing he did after entering was to close the door tightly.

"commander!"

Harman's sudden shout startled Zhou He, who had just relaxed. He turned around and saw Yorktown and Harman in the hall. They were sitting next to each other and looking at him nervously.

Seeing this, Zhou He instinctively patted the wrinkles on his clothes, smiled and nodded at the two of them: "It's okay, it's just that the wind is strong outside, and everyone who went out to attack has returned safely. It is absolutely safe to stay in the house until the storm passes."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and spread his hands towards the two of them: "That's right, I need your help, go check if there are any open windows on the second floor, and close them all."

"Ah~ I see, Harman."

York City's eyes lit up slightly, and he took Harman's hand and ran up to the second floor very quickly.

"Shentong, check the situation on the first floor. I'll go to the third floor."

Zhou He left a word and quickly went upstairs. He hadn't worked here for several days, but because it didn't rain, the windows here were opened for ventilation.

Sure enough, just as he walked to the door of the office, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground. He opened the door and found that a lot of papers and books were blown to the ground in a mess. He hurried forward to close the window, collected the books that fell on the ground, and put them back.

Then, he sat down on his office desk and sighed: He was convinced. The Sirens had not been defeated yet, and another bad omen came. He was just wondering why the Purifier wanted to cooperate with him. Now he understood - if she directly started the shipbuilding at the Siren base, these bad omens would definitely follow and destroy the base, and there would be no chance for her to build a ship.

Now that we have him as a hated person, other bases can naturally carry out production smoothly.

"Oh my god, the Builder's body is anchored on the sea, it shouldn't be blown away."

There was no one around, so Zhou He couldn't help but spit out a Chinese quintessence, then he put his fingers on the damp table and tapped: The Builder's body was also quite strange, the entire ship had no external damage, even the Builder's body in the cockpit was intact, but she was dead, without any signs of life.

He originally just wanted to pick up a ship and bring it back, but it ended up with a lifelike corpse. This made him very difficult. Should he let Akashi study it together? Or dig a hole to bury her? Should he pack it up for Purification to take away?

All of these are possible, but the problem is that there is a strong wind outside and he has no time to deal with it. If it is left like this for two or three days, it is still a question whether the builder's body can hold on. This is very bad. If Akashi hadn't wanted to do some research, he really wanted the system to directly disassemble it into resources for her.

Then there are the ominous entities. These strange creatures that came from nowhere gathered together, and their powerful polluting power gathered to form the black whirlwind outside. It was also an outrageous thing. Our own ship girls had been fighting for two hours, but their number had not decreased but increased, and was about to break through three digits. If this continued to grow endlessly, it would be an extremely huge trouble.

After experiencing it himself, Zhou He finally understood that the fleets that were defeated by the Omen in the past were not incapable, but the existence of the Omen entity was too troublesome. If his ship girl did not have the ability to resist pollution, I am afraid that just one encounter with the Omen would make him a commander without troops. Even now, he would need at least three or four days to clean up the Omen entity, and if the storm stayed here, he would not be able to get out...

After thinking it over, Zhou He could only grit his teeth: "I hope the Purifier can give me a surprise, be more reliable, and solve the weird things outside together."

Listening to the whistling wind outside the window behind him and thinking like this, Zhou He's mood gradually calmed down. The worst that could happen this time was that he would not go out for a few days. It was no big deal.

dong dong dong.

Suddenly, there were very strong footsteps and several people's exclamations outside the door. Zhou He looked up and saw Xili jumped out from the stairwell. He was naked except for a pair of twill panties. Zhou He was stunned by the sight and closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows as if he didn't react.

"Yuri, clothes, clothes!"

The voice was from Shokaku, and it seemed like Hermione was also speaking, followed by Yudachi's voice of disdain. Zhou He changed from pinching his brows to rubbing his face, and only let go when he felt it was enough. He saw Yudachi, who was wearing an ill-fitting white coat and pouting reluctantly, and he couldn't help laughing and stood up to hook his finger at Yudachi: "Okay, don't be angry, you still have to wear clothes even at home, welcome back."

"I'm back~"

Although she was sulking, Xili still listened to Zhou He's greeting. She did not stretch out her paw to shake hands, but buried her head in Zhou He's arms as usual, hugging his waist without moving.

"You're so childish. You guys have worked hard, Shokaku."

Zhou He stroked Yuli's hair and nodded to Xianghe and Hermione who were chasing after him, "You should go and get ready first. Hermione, please remind the people living in the new dormitory to find some clothes and come here to spend the night, so that they won't be blocked by the strong wind and get covered in dust when eating."

"Yes."

Hermione glanced at Yudachi, bowed and turned to go downstairs. Shokaku set his eyes on Yudachi in Zhou He's arms. Yudachi's clothes were too thin, and she was a little worried.

Zhou He saw it, and just as he was about to go down, he patted Yudachi's shoulder and signaled her to let go first - Yudachi obediently let go, but she only changed from burying her chest in front of him to burrowing under his right armpit, hugging him from the side, sticking to him and refusing to let go.

"..."

"It's okay, we'll just go down like this."

Zhou He was probably used to being hugged by Yuudachi in front of the crowd, so he didn't feel anything special. He smiled, held Yuudachi's back with his hand and said to Shokaku.

"Ok."

Seeing this, Xianghe didn't say much. He took a step back and let Zhou He walk in front. He followed him down the stairs and told him about the process and discoveries of the battle, as well as the difficulties of fighting the bad omen.

"Well, I see."

Zhou He listened to every word, and the situation was pretty much what he guessed. After going down to the hall, he said to Xianghe, "Xianghe, you should also go and get some rest. I have a small meeting soon and then it's time to cook."

"Um... then Yudachi?"

Xianghe looked at Yudachi who refused to let go. Zhou He showed a mysterious smile and leaned over to say a few words beside Yudachi's furry ears. The originally lazy Yudachi's ears stood up all of a sudden. After letting go of his hand, he opened his arms and acted coquettishly towards Zhou He: "Commander, hug me."

"Good~"

Zhou He smiled, leaned over, picked up Yudachi, and spun around a few times. With a shaky step, he put Yudachi next to Shokaku, and smiled as he ruffled her hair: "Take a shower, come out for dinner."

"Order!"

Yuudachi rubbed his palm and giggled, revealing his cute fangs.

Chapter 134: Good Friends

The wind outside was blowing hard, but as long as you squat in the house, you are not afraid of anything. This made Zhou He sigh at the importance of infrastructure.

Everyone who went home against the wind was still taking a bath in their rooms or in the large bathhouse on the first floor. Zhou He sat alone in the hall for a while and felt a little free, so he selected Hu Teng from the dock and started the video function. The system interface flashed slightly and the switch was completed.

Compared to Frederick the Great, Hutten's figure is just right. Although she appears to be very cold, she habitually makes some small movements when walking or talking. She is the one with the purest girlish charm in the Zhou He family.

In the video, the sky in the area behind Hu Teng is still clear and is not affected by the ominous storm. It just looks like they are still on the road, and the Siren Base is still a bit far away.

"commander?"

Hu Teng, who was originally staring at the Purifier, was touched by the strange sight and soon found the projection of Zhou He on the right. His eyebrows raised slightly: "What a strange communication technology. Is the battle in the port area over?"
