Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

Hearing Lin Lan's words, both Harman and Mori were stunned at the same time.

Has the commander suddenly gone stupid? How dare he make such a bet?

Seeing the surprise on the faces of the two White Eagle girls, Lin Lan explained with a smile:

"For a game like this, there has to be some suspense. Otherwise, it would be boring. So I'm betting on Essex to win. Harman, don't miss this opportunity."

His words successfully aroused Harman's interest, but she still stared into Lin Lan's eyes and said seriously:

"You stupid commander, Harman will give you one more chance. Do you really want to make a bet with Harman?"

"If you really lose, Harman, Harman will not let you go easily!"

Lin Lan chuckled. Even though Harman was a little arrogant, he actually had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She had to confirm with him again and again.

"I'm sure. Don't worry, Harman. I'm the commander. I'll keep my word."

After staring at him for a while and making sure that he was serious, Haman seemed to remember something. Her face suddenly turned red with shame. She turned her head away, hummed, and said in a delicate voice:

"Since you, a pervert, asked for it, then, Harman will reluctantly agree to it!"

Seeing this scene at the same time, Mori seemed to understand something, and looked at Lin Lan with a sly smile and said:

"As expected of the Commander, you still like this~"

"?"

Lin Lan looked at the two little lolis in confusion and was stunned.

What kind of food do I like?

I have already said it, I just simply want to see Essex become a dark horse, what on earth did you two understand that!

Chapter 321: Fierce Competition on the Racetrack

Although as a competent commander, Lin Lan must know each of his ship girls very well.

But Lin Lan couldn't figure out how his past actions would be understood in the eyes of his fellow ship girls.

For example, at this moment, Lin Lan was looking at Mori, who had the same "I understand you" look in his eyes as his sister Gridley, and Harmanman, who was suddenly so shy that her voice trembled.

He had no idea what these two little girls were thinking.

At this time, Enterprise and Essex, who were ready to go on the track, started their engines, and leaned over their respective racing motorcycles, had already focused all their attention on the racing traffic lights in front of them.

As the five red lights went out one by one, they suddenly all turned green. The engines of the motorcycles under the two men started to roar, and almost at the same time, they turned into a trail of afterimages and sped off from the starting point.

"Oh oh, it's started!"

Lin Lan and others in the stands watched the two people driving side by side at almost the same speed into the distance, and made sounds of surprise.

The images on the huge screen also began to switch as the two of them set off.

There are cameras set up at regular intervals on the track, so Gridley can broadcast the images immediately.

Lin Lan clearly saw the two carrier girls' almost synchronized cool cornering drifting movements, and several times he even felt that their bodies were about to touch the ground.

This thrilling feeling allowed him, as a spectator, to feel the charm of racing for the first time.

However, for the ship girls, even if they are not wearing protective gear and are accidentally thrown away while moving at such high speeds, they will not suffer any injuries.

When the two were halfway through the first lap, Lin Lan discovered that the two people, whose movements and speeds were originally synchronized, gradually separated.

While negotiating a sharp turn, Essex entered the drift a second later than Enterprise.

It was this second that allowed the company to seize the opportunity and take the lead.

Seeing this scene, the two little girls, Harman and Mori, applauded and cheered at the same time. Although Lin Lan also cheered for the company's wonderful performance, he secretly thought that Essex was in trouble.

In this situation where the difference in strength and equipment is not big, as long as the company does not make mistakes, this short-term lead may be the most critical factor in determining victory or defeat.

It turned out that his idea was right.

Until the end of the first lap, no matter how Essex tried to catch up and overtake, Enterprise was always able to suppress Essex and firmly guard it, making it impossible for it to overtake.

"Look Commander, Enterprise's skills are unquestionable, but Essex still has a lot to learn."

Mori watched as Enterprise still perfectly defended against Essex's overtaking at the last S-turn, and said to Lin Lan with a smile.

"There's still one lap left, and Essex still has a chance."

Lin Lan also realized that Qiye’s motorcycle riding skills were better than Essex’s, but after all, the competition was only halfway through, so he was still very optimistic about Essex.

He believed that the lead ship of the Essex class, which always regarded Enterprise as its goal to surpass, would not be left behind by Enterprise forever.

After the enterprise surpasses the starting point, it also announces the official start of the second half of the competition.

The beginning.

Essex bit his lower lip tightly, staring at the figure in front of him with flying silver hair, and his expression under the helmet became more solemn.

It was just because she made a mistake at the corner that her movement was slowed down by less than a second, but this less than a second was firmly grasped by the company in front of her.

No matter what means she tried to overtake, the company was able to perfectly defend against her offensive.

As expected of the strongest senior in the company, but if he continues like this...

I will lose!

Essex had thought about losing, but she didn't expect that it would be because of such a low-level mistake that she would have no chance of overtaking.

The Commander must have witnessed all of this in the stands, and he must be very disappointed that he has not made any progress in so long...

As Essex passed the starting line closely behind Enterprise, he glanced toward the stands with a remorseful look.

But it was at this glance that she saw Lin Lan's expectant eyes under her helmet.

"Commander...are you expecting me?"

Almost in an instant, Essex's figure passed through the stands.

But her heart seemed to be in turmoil.

Commander, you clearly saw my mistakes, and that I was at a disadvantage and couldn't even overtake, but you still expected me to win?

Essex tightly grasped the handlebars of the motorcycle, his eyes fixed on the back of a senior corporate executive not far ahead.

As a junior who admires the company so much, she always regards the company as an object to surpass in almost everything she does, and naturally also regards the company as an imaginary enemy.

Whether she is fighting, exercising, or doing daily racing activities, she thinks countless times about what she should do to surpass the company.

Every time she took her sisters to the racetrack for a recreational race, she would imagine how she would overtake if she was overtaken by the company.

In the second half of the lap just now, she had implemented nearly 99% of her previous overtaking plan, but it was still perfectly resolved by her predecessors in the company.

This is also the reason why she almost gave up just now.

"Since the commander is looking forward to me so much, how can I give up!"

"If I give up, even my senior colleagues in the company won't recognize me!"

The phantom of the person she had imagined she would surpass overlapped with her real corporate predecessor. Essex gritted her teeth and began to construct her last chance to overtake by surprise in her mind.

The difficult S-bend before the finish line.

At this time, Essex was just following the company with the help of the tailwind. Although it tried to overtake several times on the bend, it was still blocked by the company.

"Hmph! Commander, the game is about to end. Be prepared to be punished by Haman!"

Seeing through the big screen that both of them had reached the second half of the second lap, Harman glanced at Lin Lan and said with a pout.

"What punishment? Oh my goodness, you guys think I'm a masochist?"

Originally, Lin Lan was watching the intense competition between the two beautiful female drivers.

But after hearing Haman's words, he suddenly understood what the two little girls were thinking.

When Harman had just joined his port, he really liked to listen to Harman's angry voice and would always deliberately poke Harman's portrait to make Harman scold him.

Maybe this is why this

The main reason why the little loli with animal ears and silver hair always scolds him for being a pervert after his transformation.

After all, who would actively seek out scolding?

Just now, he knew that the enterprise had the best chance of winning, but he still bet with Harman that Essex would win, and with this condition that could easily be misunderstood...

Lin Lan smiled bitterly. It seemed that no matter how much she explained, it was useless now.

At this point, the two of them only had one last S-bend and a straight line left to the finish line.

The two barbarians have even reached the finish line, which is actually the starting point for the two of them, and are holding up the black and white checkered flag representing the end of the race.

It seems that Essex really has no chance. But that's true. After all, it is the White Eagle God of War Enterprise, and it's not shameful to lose.

Lin Lan shook her head helplessly. When she looked at Harman and was about to tease him, Anchorage suddenly exclaimed excitedly:

"Teacher! Essex, sister, we need to overtake!"

"what!"

Anchorage's words startled Lin Lan, and he turned back to look at the big screen.

At this time, the two White Eagle aircraft carrier girls on the field were already driving in the S-curve at the same time, and the distance between them was getting smaller and smaller!

"Enterprise, this is a plan I have rehearsed countless times in my mind in order to surpass you. This time, I will definitely be able to defeat you fairly in front of the commander!"

As Essex roared in her heart, her motorcycle also roared in unison, getting closer and closer to the figure in front of her...

She had just thought of this last unexpected opportunity to overtake several turns ago, and now was the moment to witness the result!

Chapter 322: Reversal of Limits

The companies ahead knew that the last S-curve before the finish line was Essex's last chance to overtake.

Although most of her attention was on driving, she could still keep an eye on Essex's every move through the rearview mirror.

As long as we continue to maintain our advantage and make interfering moves to prevent overtaking, we will be able to win the race.

When the two were about to enter the final S-curve, Enterprise suddenly discovered that Essex had actually started to shift his body in advance and drifted into the curve to overtake.

"It's impossible to overtake at the first corner at this distance. What is Essex going to do?"

Enterprise's eyes were slightly solemn under the windshield helmet, but she had to immediately start to lower her body and drift, otherwise she would go off the track due to inertia.

Both of them soon drove into the first corner of the S-curve.

Whether it is Enterprise or Essex, their cornering movements at this moment are like twin sisters, almost completely identical.

Even when turning, Enterprise still blocked all routes for Essex to overtake, leaving no chance at all.

But at this time, Essex entered the curve drifting action one step ahead of Enterprise, so she passed the curve almost at the inner edge of the track at an extreme distance.

Although Essex successfully shortened the distance with Enterprise by drifting closer to the inner lane, it was still far from enough to surpass Enterprise.

"If that's not enough to surpass me, I'm sorry Essex."

This is the first thought that flashes through the company's mind.

And the next second, Enterprise's purple pupils, which had been extremely determined because of his seriousness, suddenly shrank.

Essex did not continue to overtake, nor did he start to prepare for the second turn drift, but...

Slow down and rush straight to the inner lane of the second turn!

As we all know, in racing competitions, being able to occupy the inner lane of a turn is often equivalent to having an advantage.

However, in an S-shaped track with two consecutive large bends, the advantageous inner lane will change at the second corner!

Essex did not think of using drifting to overtake her at the second corner, but chose to go straight to the inner lane where the position had changed!

This is a complete gamble. Even the most experienced drivers would not rashly choose such a high-risk way of overtaking.

You have to know that at this speed, if you are not careful, you will most likely be thrown off the track due to the inertia of not being able to control your own speed.

At this time, Enterprise thought it was in the leading position and had already started drifting in the curve in advance, and it was too late to block Essex's sudden slowdown and lane change.

"In that case, let's see who will win in the end! Essex!"

Since there was no way to stop Essex, Enterprise simply chose to stick to her current route, concentrate on drifting, and keep her eyes fixed on the finish line ahead.

Since Essex is a ship girl like her, she is not worried about Essex's safety. Instead, she is happy and excited.

Yes, don't follow my footsteps completely, make your own choices boldly at this time.
