Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

Du Lin could even feel the powerful momentum coming from behind.

Keep going! Keep going!

Just when he was about to be caught up, something unexpected happened.

The fast-moving Z23 suddenly slowed down, and its majestic momentum disappeared.

Not only that, Z23, who was full of energy just now, now felt extremely weak, and even his consciousness was a little fuzzy.

"Woo..."

Z23 began to sink, and she suddenly remembered what the commander had just said.

[Z23, your face is so red.]

I...seem to have been exposed to the sun for too long...

Commander, you... win...

With such mixed feelings, Z23, who suffered from heatstroke, sank into the water.

Just when she was about to lose consciousness, a figure suddenly swam towards her.

The sinking Z23 was directly hugged.

Volume 160: Chapter A Small Interlude

Z23's body gradually sank, and his consciousness began to blur.

But just when she was about to lose consciousness, a figure turned back from the front.

"That is......"

Although his vision was about to fall into darkness, Z23 could still barely make out the approaching figure.

Is it the Commander?

A strong arm grabbed the sinking Z23 and held it in his arms.

This feeling, this temperature...it's indeed the Commander.

The last bit of worry disappeared from Z23, and he closed his eyes with a smile.

Du Lin held Z23's waist tightly with one arm, and used the other hand to coordinate with his legs to float up quickly.

"Wow!"

Du Lin broke out of the water, and the dazzling sunlight made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

"Ugh!"

Du Lin took a deep breath and didn't care about anything else. He anxiously called out to the figure in his arms:

"Z23! Z23!"

However, at this moment, Z23 had his eyes closed and was breathing rapidly. There was an unnatural blush on his face, and even his body was so hot that it was frightening.

Heatstroke!

Du Lin made a judgment in an instant.

When using the power of the ship suit, the ship girls are almost immune to all poisons. They will not get strange diseases like humans, and they have strong immunity to various harmful substances.

But after putting away their ship suits, they are just ordinary people with good physical fitness, and they will also feel tired and occasionally get sick and catch a cold.

Although this is countless times stronger than ordinary people.

Z23 This is the case with heat stroke today.

The worry in Du Lin's heart fell, but he was still very nervous.

Even heat stroke is not a small problem and must be dealt with immediately.

Just as Du Lin was about to carry Z23 back to the shore, several figures had already rushed towards Du Lin from the beach.

"--commander!!"

It was Bismarck and Tirpitz who had been paying close attention to the situation just now.

Although the Iron-Blooded Sisters were still wearing swimsuits at this time, huge steel beasts appeared around them, and even the two of them were running fast on the water.

Ship outfit!

Bismarck and Tirpitz mobilized the power of their naval equipment.

This was the first time since the war that Bismarck had deployed his powerful forces.

With the help of the ship suit, the two of them quickly arrived beside Du Lin.

They watched the two people's competition from afar on the beach, but who would have thought that Z23 would sink to the bottom of the water and Du Lin would also turn back and sink into the water.

After seeing this scene, Bismarck had almost no hesitation and flew directly to the sea to summon the ship equipment.

Tirpitz followed closely behind.

"Commander, this is..."

Bismarck looked worried.

Dühring breathed a sigh of relief. The arrival of Bismarck and Tirpitz was a great help.

"Z23 has heat stroke and needs to be sent to rest immediately."

Heatstroke?

Bismarck looked at Z23 and understood everything instantly.

"I understand, Commander, please come up quickly!"

Bismarck bent down and pulled Durin onto his ship.

Her ship outfit is a majestic and handsome black and red steel dragon, and its huge body can easily carry two people.

"sorry to bother you."

Du Lin sat down holding Z23.

After boarding the ship, Bismarck turned around and rushed towards the beach, and soon returned to the shore.

As soon as Du Lin stepped onto the beach, Frederick the Great, Hutten and Ron came to meet him. They had been waiting anxiously on the shore.

"...What happened?!"

Hu Teng looked anxious and worried:

"Were they attacked by the Siren's underwater forces?"

Seeing Du Lin and Z23 sink into the water almost at the same time, Hu Teng instantly had a bad association.

"Sirens?"

Du Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"No, Z23 has a heat stroke. She just... spent too much time in the sea, and then did some intense exercise suddenly..."

Du Lin felt a little guilty when he talked about this. He noticed something was wrong with Z23 at first, but he didn't pay more attention to this problem.

If he had been more careful...

Frederick the Great said softly:

"This is not your problem, kid."

Du Lin nodded. Instead of continuing to indulge in regret, he quickly came under the parasol holding Z23.

He carefully laid Z23 flat on the mat. Ron had already brought an ice pack to cool Z23 down, and Tirpitz also took out a fan to gently fan Z23.

Hu Teng regained her composure at this time. She saw Du Lin frowning, so she came to his side and whispered:

"Don't worry, she will wake up soon. Our bodies...are not that fragile."

Du Lin nodded slightly.

Just as Huteng said, Z23 soon woke up.

"Well......"

After his eyelids twitched slightly, Z23 slowly opened his eyes.

"Z23!"

Du Lin was cheered up and hurried over.

"commander?"

The first thing that caught his eye was Du Lin's face. Z23 had confusion in his eyes and noticed the other people beside him.

"Everyone......"

Z23's voice became lower, and she gradually recalled what happened before she fell into a coma.

"Whoa!"

Z23 sat up with a somersault, and his force was beyond Durin's expectation.

Because of this, their foreheads hit each other with a "bang".

"what!!"

This time it was Du Lin who screamed, and he fell backwards with his hands covering his forehead.

“——It hurts…it hurts!”

"commander!"

Z23 screamed and leaned forward to help, but suddenly she felt a strong sense of weakness all over her body.

"No...Nothing. I'm fine."

Du Lin sat up again, rubbing his forehead and noticing Z23's weakness.

"Don't exercise too vigorously. You just passed out from heat stroke."

Du Lin explained to Z23 what had happened.

Z23 opened his eyes slightly, revealing an expression of shame and self-blame.

"Commander, I'm so... so sorry!"

Although extremely exhausted, Z23 still bowed to Dulin.

"Why are you apologizing to me? Z23, you didn't do anything wrong."

"But I...I asked the commander..."

Z23 clenched her hands. As a ship girl, she should have been the commander's protector, but she ended up being a hindrance.

Du Lin guessed what Z23 was thinking and reached out to touch Z23's head.

"what......"

Z23 felt the touch on his head.

"Haha, Z23, you are too serious." Du Lin smiled and said:

"The relationship between the ship girl and the commander is not a one-sided protection relationship, but a mutual reliance. As a commander, isn't it normal to help your ship girl at a critical moment?"

"And... I am also responsible. I should have noticed that you were not feeling well earlier..."

Z23 shook his head quickly:

"No! The Commander is not wrong!!"
