Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

Z23 came to his senses and shook his head:

"No...No! I feel fine now. Very good!"

At this moment, Z23 burst out with amazing momentum. She didn't want to let such a good opportunity be wasted.

Du Lin was also shocked by Z23's momentum. He didn't expect Z23's will to be so strong.

"Okay...Okay, then what shall we play first..."

Du Lin fell into deep thought. Since they were in the sea, of course they had to play some games related to it.

"By the way, let's have a swimming competition first."

Du Lin raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a somewhat arrogant smile:

"Z23, Commander, I'm a very good swimmer, let's have a competition to see who can swim faster!"

"swim?"

Z23 opened his eyes wide, and then smiled:

"Commander, do you think you can beat the ship girl in the water?"

"It's not impossible." Du Lin's confidence was not shaken at all:

"Of course, the use of ship equipment is not allowed. That would be a big violation... So, do you dare to accept the sky battle?"

Z23's fighting spirit was also aroused. With her serious personality, she is never afraid of challenges.

What’s more, it is an underwater project.

"Of course!"

Du Lin was very satisfied with Z23's statement. He turned and pointed to the distance, where there was a small reef exposed above the water.

"See that? We start from here, and whoever gets there first wins."

Z23 squinted his eyes and looked at the reef, only to see a pointed tip of the reef, which was about a thousand meters away from their current position.

This distance is nothing to Z23, but to the commander...

"Commander, is this really okay?" Z23 smiled triumphantly.

"You sit in the office every day, do you really have the physical strength to do this? It's not as simple as swimming there, you have to race."

"Tsk, you really underestimated me." Du Lin was full of confidence:

"I'll tell you a secret. I also exercise privately."

"Eh? Really?"

Z23 was a little surprised, but looking at Du Lin's expression, he didn't seem to be bragging.

Du Lin did not lie, but his so-called "movement" was a bit... I was too embarrassed to talk about it directly in front of Z23.

After the discussion, Du Lin and Z23 were ready to set off.

"Okay, follow my orders!"

Du Lin took a deep breath and began to count down:

"Three, two, one... start!!"

Before he finished saying the word "start", Du Lin kicked his legs and rushed forward.

"Ah, false start!"

Z23 screamed and angrily accused Du Lin of cheating.

However, Du Lin didn't care about all this. He paddled quickly with his arms and rushed forward like a fish.

“——Hahahaha, society is so cruel!!”

Du Lin had no shame at all about racing against the Z23, but rather felt justified.

In just a blink of an eye, he had already taken the lead by dozens of meters.

This statement made Z23 laugh out of anger, and she quickly set off to catch up.

Z23's swimming style is extremely standard and graceful, and his speed is even faster than that of Du Lin!

Volume 159: Chapter : Unexpected Development

The intense competition between Du Lin and Z23 officially begins!

On one hand, there is a ship girl who is naturally good at swimming, and on the other hand, there is a commander who will do anything to achieve his goals.

The competition between the two is extremely fierce.

Du Lin has the first-mover advantage. His swimming posture is not as beautiful as Z23's, but his speed is not slow either. The most important thing is that this is the posture that Du Lin is most accustomed to.

As he cut through the waves, all the muscles in Du Lin's body were activated, and every movement of his arms created a large amount of splashes of water.

Without goggles, he could only squint his eyes slightly, and his wet hair drooped slightly, somewhat affecting his vision.

But it doesn’t matter. Du Lin’s direction was clear at the beginning, and he just worked hard towards his goal.

On the other side, Z23 was at a disadvantage, but she was not panicked at all and chased slowly and steadily.

Five hundred meters is not a short distance, not to mention that this is not a swimming pool with calm water, but a sea with surging waves.

Therefore, Z23 is not in a hurry to try its best at the beginning.

At this moment, the advantage of the ship girl was revealed.

Z23 also did not wear goggles, but she was able to keep her eyes open to avoid being affected by the splashes.

She kept her promise and did not use the power of her ship suit. This was just an innate ability.

Of course, as a destroyer, she cannot maintain this state for long. Being able to open her eyes in the sea without being affected is the specialty of submarines.

Looking at the figure bravely moving forward, Z23's mouth curled up slightly:

"Commander, let me see how long you can keep this up!"

On the beach, Bismarck and others also noticed the situation on the sea in the distance.

"Hmm? Commander...are you competing with Z23?"

Frederick the Great sat up with some surprise, but then said in a gentle voice:

"What a lively child~~"

Hu Teng frowned slightly, then shook his head and said:

"...How boring! The commander actually wants to compete with the ship girl in the water."

"Oh~" Ron suddenly appeared between the two of them. She put her hands behind her waist and leaned forward:

"Does Hutten think the commander will lose?"

"...Of course, a meaningless question." Hu Teng lay down again, she put her hands behind her head, as if she had already seen the result.

Ron didn't care. She stood up and took out her phone again. This time she pointed it at the sea:

"Hehe, let me record the commander's victory or defeat~~"

For Ron, winning or losing is not important, what is important is Du Lin's performance.

Whether it's Durin cheering for victory or Durin getting angry because of defeat... Ron likes him very much.

She wanted to see more of Du Lin's gestures.

Unlike the three people who had their own thoughts, Bismarck and Tirpitz on the other side had much simpler thoughts.

"...Is this a competition?"

Tirpitz covered his mouth and chuckled:

"...Commander is really interesting. He actually plays this kind of game with Z23."

Bismarck stared closely at the two people in front and behind him without making any comments.

"Don't worry." Tirpitz comforted Bismarck:

"With Z23 following us, nothing will happen to the commander."

If Du Lin was swimming alone at such a far distance, no one present would ignore him.

But with Z23 following him, Tirpitz felt that nothing would happen.

The strength of the ship girls who exert the power of their ship suits is beyond imagination.

"...I understand." Bismarck nodded slightly, his eyes still locked on the figure who was still in the lead:

"...Their destination seems to be that reef. Not good. At this speed, the commander will lose the game."

Tirpitz was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Bismarck, who had always been particularly concerned about Dühring's safety, was actually concerned about winning or losing at this time.

This made Tirpitz laugh and cry.

She suddenly felt that her sister was also simple and cute.

However, Tirpitz agreed with Bismarck:

"...Such an explosive speed is a huge drain on the commander's physical strength."

As Bismarck and Tirpitz had noted, it wasn't long before Dühring's pace slowed noticeably.

Du Lin, who was bravely moving forward, began to breathe rapidly and felt his arms and legs becoming heavy.

An outburst like the one just now is bound to not last long.

However, there were less than two hundred meters left to the finish line.

Du Lin glanced behind him with his peripheral vision and saw Z23 moving slowly about fifty meters away.

If we can maintain this advantage...we can win!

Just as Du Lin was thinking this, Z23 in the distance suddenly exerted force.

At this moment, Z23's whole body movements began to become intense. Before, she was as elegant as a mermaid, but at this moment she turned into a water knight.

There wasn't much splashing, but the speed of the Z23 was much faster than just now!

In just a moment, the distance between the two people was shortened to about twenty meters.

"not good!"

Du Lin's face changed, he knew that Z23 was going to get serious.

Du Lin held his breath, gathered all his strength and accelerated again.

At this moment, the two began the most intense competition!

After a fierce chase, the target reef was only a hundred meters away!

Faster...faster!!

Du Lin gritted his teeth and tried his best. At this moment, he even felt a slight pain in his lungs.

As Z23 said, Du Lin hasn't exercised for too long.

Du Lin suddenly realized that he had miscalculated.

Even though he had a physical fitness that was far superior to that of ordinary people, the loss of his physical strength after being repeatedly exploited was extremely alarming.

When considering winning or losing, Du Lin ignored this point!

Female beauty...is harmful to people!

Du Lin roared in despair in his heart.

In fact, Du Lin's performance was already amazing. As a non-professional swimmer, Du Lin relied entirely on his freak-like physical fitness to be able to hold on until now under many unfavorable conditions.

If it were anyone else, they would have given up long ago due to exhaustion.

Du Lin's body was becoming heavier and heavier, and he was almost exhausted of every bit of strength.

However, the target reef is only about fifty meters away.

The Z23 chasing behind him had already closed the distance between him and Du Lin to less than ten meters.
