Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

"Little Zeppelin, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong?"

Lin Lan was startled by the little Lolita's abnormal behavior. He quickly half-knelt down and hugged the little Lolita tightly in his arms.

"Commander, I, I might have to go home."

Hearing little Zeppelin's crying voice, Lin Lan felt her heart tremble.

"So you want to go back? But how could this happen? You clearly..."

After spending some time with little Zeppelin, Lin Lan found that she had fallen deeply in love with this optimistic, cheerful and innocent little girl.

He could never have imagined that this little Lolita would say such words at this moment.

At this moment, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly thought of a horrible possibility.

Little Zeppelin appeared inexplicably in his port area, so would he also disappear inexplicably?

"I don't want war, I don't want to bring slaughter to others, Commander, I, what should I do, wuuuu..."

The poor little girl cried pitifully in Lin Lan's arms. This was the first time that Lin Lan saw little Zeppelin cry so sadly.

Just as Lin Lan was hugging little Zeppelin with great heartache, trying to think of words to comfort the little girl in his arms, he suddenly discovered that little Zeppelin's body was slowly becoming transparent.

"no no……"

Lin Lan watched all this happening helplessly, wanting to stop it.

But he found that he couldn't do anything.

He suddenly seemed to think of something and hugged the little girl tightly, whose body was slowly becoming transparent.

Lori stood up and rushed to her desk.

"It's not too late, it's not too late!"

Lin Lan sat on the chair, hurriedly opened the drawer of the desk with one hand, and took out a small black box.

Opening the box, a dazzling ring of promise was quietly placed in the center of the box.

"Little Zeppelin, don't cry, look at what this is."

Lin Lan held the ring in her hand, took a deep breath, and suppressed the reluctance and anxiety on her face.

He spoke to little Zeppelin in the most gentle voice he had ever heard in his life.

Hearing Lin Lan's words, the silver-haired little Lolita, whose body had become severely transparent, slowly loosened her arms that were tightly hugging Lin Lan. With traces of tears and sadness on her face, she stared blankly at Lin Lan's hands.

Lin Lan took this opportunity, holding the dazzling oath ring in both hands, not bothering to wipe the tears rolling down the corners of her eyes, and slowly put it on the little Lolita's right ring finger.

"Little Zeppelin, I, I like you. Damn it, why didn't I tell you earlier. I really, really like you very much."

Lin Lan looked at the little Zeppelin who was sitting on him and whose body was becoming more and more transparent, like a soul. His tone became heavier and heavier, and he even uttered swear words anxiously.

"The ring of... oath?"

Little Zeppelin's innocent red eyes were filled with surprise and shock.

Fortunately, the ring of promise was successfully put on the little girl's right ring finger and did not fall directly to the ground.

Little Zeppelin, whose entire body had become severely transparent, gently stroked the exquisite ring on his right ring finger.

Big tears rolled down the little girl's cute pink face.

But the tears fell on Lin Lan's legs but did not wet Lin Lan's pants.

Little Zeppelin is really going to disappear.

Lin Lan watched all this happen in despair, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from breaking down.

"Humph, no matter what you do, I will not give in to you! ... Dessert? ... I want to eat, give me one too!"

"I like high places! Because I can see far away!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Despair and hatred are nothing! I believe that as long as I don't give up, I will be able to realize my dream one day!"

The scenes of the two of them being together emerged in her mind, making Lin Lan feel heartbroken and want to cry.

But he was afraid that if he moved again, this innocent and lovely little girl in front of him would leave him completely.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid, I hate you, hate you, if you give me something like this, it will make me even more reluctant to go back!"

Little Zeppelin, who was already very close to becoming transparent, suddenly let out a loud cry.

Lin Lan stretched out his hand painfully, wanting to gently stroke the little loli's head like before.

But his action was doomed to fail.

His hand went straight through the little Loli's body, just like...

It's like touching a non-existent projection.

Little Zeppelin witnessed all of this. Her body had become so pale that it was difficult to look at her. She stared at Lin Lan's face, as if she wanted to engrave this man's appearance in her soul.

She suddenly took a deep breath and, with all her strength, shouted to the commander who had been taking care of her during this period of time in a tearful tone, heartbreakingly:

"Wow... this, this

If you want to go back, you have to make an appointment with me. If I go back, you must find me in the future. Got it? It’s a deal! It’s a deal!!!”

Hearing the childish voice of little Zeppelin, Lin Lan finally couldn't bear the pain in his heart and shouted in despair:

"I will, I will definitely, I will find you in the future and let you return to the harbor!"

After hearing his words, the completely transparent little Loli finally revealed a happy smile at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Lan watched helplessly as the little Lolita who had been with him all this time completely disappeared from his legs, his face full of dullness.

“Drip, drip, drip, drip!”

The loud alarm clock rang, waking Lin Lan from her sleep.

"Little Zeppelin!"

Lin Lan suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted, with traces of tears still on his face.

"Son, what are you yelling about so early in the morning? Hurry up and get up. Don't forget that this morning is Lao Zhang's engineering economics class. If you are late, you will be in trouble!"

"That guy always guards the door for early classes and deducts points for latecomers. It's already 7:50. Don't blame the dads for not calling you! We're leaving first!"

The shouts and footsteps of his roommates woke Lin Lan up instantly.

Everything that just happened turned out to be just a dream.

But, is it really just a dream?

"Damn it, Dad is up, wait for me a moment!"

Lin Lan shouted casually, took out the clothes beside the pillow and put them on quickly.

The dream he just had was quite real, making him feel as if he had really traveled through time and space to become a commander in the game.

After putting on his clothes, Lin Lan was about to turn off the alarm on his phone, but he saw that he had fallen asleep on the main interface of the game last night.

The little Zeppelin, who was set as the secretary ship, was looking at him angrily on the screen of his mobile phone.

Last night before he fell asleep he made a pledge on the activity boat Little Zeppelin some time ago.

"No wonder I had such a realistic dream. I actually fell asleep hanging here last night."

Lin Lan muttered to himself, put his cell phone in his trouser pocket, got out of bed, and without even bothering to wash up, hurriedly picked up the textbook on the table and rushed out the door.

Fortunately, their dormitory was on the first floor, close to the teaching building. He rushed into the classroom at the last second before the bell rang and sat in a seat in the back row.

Old Zhang had already walked to the podium to start the class. Several students around him had already opened their mobile competitive games and started playing. Lin Lan was flipping through the book when she suddenly heard a young girl crying:

"You must find me in the future, got it? It's a deal! It's a deal!!"

Lin Lan somehow opened the search engine on her phone and searched for the name Count Zeppelin.

He scrolled down the Baidu Encyclopedia page and saw the following information:

“At the end of April 1945, the Northern Allied Red Army was about to approach Stettin, and the Iron Blood took the initiative to sink the Graf Zeppelin to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.

But after occupying the area, the Northern Union salvaged the sunken ship in 1946. The last sighting of the ship was in Swinemünde, when it was carrying some supplies and preparing to go to Leningrad, and then disappeared without a trace.

Later, the declassification of confidential files showed that it was briefly given the number "PO-101" and used as a target ship for the Northern Alliance's warships and aircraft.

In July 06, a 7-meter-long shipwreck was found on the seabed near the port of Łeba. It was confirmed to be the Graf Zeppelin, whose whereabouts had been a mystery for many years.

After more than 50 years, people finally found the long-lost "Iron Blood First Aircraft Carrier."

After watching all this, Lin Lan suddenly felt a sharp pang in his heart.

This was the first time he had seen this information, but why did little Zeppelin say such words to him in his dream last night?

"Lin Lan! Stand up and answer this question!"

When Old Zhang called out his name, Lin Lan no longer had time to think about the problem and stood up to continue his life.

Maybe, it’s just that this dream is rather mysterious.

"The warship built by this damn iron-blooded guy is really tenacious. After it was salvaged, it was used for blasting tests and it withstood five rounds of bombing without being sunk."

In a cold sea, several soldiers of the Northern Union Red Army were standing on the deck of a Northern Union destroyer, breathing heavily and gazing at the huge ship in the distance.

"If only our motherland could have built such a powerful warship, my children, my wife, and Boris who took the bullet for me in Stalingrad... wouldn't have been killed by the Iron Blood."

A middle-aged Red Army soldier said through gritted teeth.

"It's over. It's over, Andre."

The other soldiers came to comfort the middle-aged Red Army soldier.

This damn war launched by the Third Iron-Blooded Empire took away so much good things from their lives.

Fortunately, it's finally over.

"Although those Iron Blood guys all deserve to die, I have to admit that this warship is really beautiful. It's a pity that it is too damaged to be used by our Northern Alliance."

A younger Red Army soldier gazed at the large warship in the distance and exclaimed.

"Oh, let alone the five rounds of blasting tests, I heard from my brother who is an aviation soldier in the 12th Regiment that they also carried out an aerial bombing on this ship some time ago, but they failed to sink it."

Another Red Army soldier proudly showed off the secret information he got from private channels, which attracted the amazement of several other soldiers.

Snowflakes were falling from the sky. It was so cold here that the mist from their breath was almost falling and freezing onto the deck of the destroyer beneath their feet.

Andre looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and suddenly remembered his family and comrades who had lost in front of him.

He looked at the warship and cursed in a low voice with resentment:

"Its country is ruined. I don't know why it is still holding on. What else is there for it to hold on to?"

……

Yes, what else do I have to hold on to?

Covered with wounds, he witnessed the destruction of his motherland and the death of his comrades one after another.

He helplessly watched himself being surrounded by the enemy. He didn't even have the qualifications to die gloriously for his country, as he was dragged here as a prisoner by the enemy.

Even that thing was taken away...

There was no longer the innocence and optimism in Count Zeppelin's eyes, only deep despair and numbness.

The flying snow fell slowly on her body, and Count Zeppelin suddenly felt the coldness of loneliness and death surrounding her.

It seems like it never gets cold in that guy's port area.

齐柏

The warm port area and the gentle man's expression flashed through Lin's mind.

That dream was so beautiful that it seemed as if it did not belong to this disgusting and dirty world.

She raised her head and looked at the snow falling from the sky. She suddenly wanted to cry, but found that she couldn't cry anymore.

The cruel and bloody war has made her no longer naive and willful.

Now that my hands are covered in blood, can I really return to his side?

Zeppelin quietly looked at the enemy ships around him that were coming to end his life, and laughed at himself.
