More than 4 hours have passed, and it is completely dark, An Tong turned on the lights of the yacht, stood at the window and looked carefully, according to the navigation display of the personal terminal, it was very close to the abandoned point. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The weather was exceptionally clear that night, and although there was no moon, the black canopy was covered with shining stars. Under the starry sky, there was a dark ocean, with only a little light from an old yacht, which struggled to tear a small gap in the darkness, but was quickly swallowed up by the endless darkness.

In the dead silence of the night, there was no sound except the noise of the yacht, and Antong felt the cold, the cold to the bone, and the cramping in his abdomen from hunger.

And the loneliness and fear that comes with cold and hunger...

"It's a pity that Higra is seasick... Otherwise, I can bring her along... Oh no, she's going to get seasick..."In this case, Antong can only use ridiculous cranky thoughts to maintain his state of mind.

He recalled a conversation he had with Higra earlier.

It turned out that when An Tong first posted for help, there were still some people who gave An Tong reasonable advice, such as the E-class ship Niang, although she does not have a ship outfit, but she can control the ship, which is the innate ability of the ship Niang.

So Antong made this suggestion to Higra.

"I'm sorry Admiral, I can't steer the ship..."

"Why? Aren't you a ship mother? ”

"I... I'm seasick..."Higra said embarrassedly, his little face stained with a layer of red, and he looked cute.

An Tong felt that she was almost cute, eldest sister, you are the ship's mother! You're a ship yourself, huh? Are you seasick?

He had to quickly calm down, and said: "It's okay Higra, the problem of seasickness is easy to overcome, you just need to think that you can swim and not be afraid of water..."

Before he finished speaking, Higra buried his head lower, twisted his fingers with his two small hands, and said something that made An Tong even more devastated: "I'm sorry Commander, I can't swim..."

An Tong was stunned now... Feelings, you're a ship girl, I still have to think about saving you or my mother first? You can't swim as a ship girl, aren't you really sent by the deep fog across the other side to trick me?

Looking at An Tong's bewildered expression, Higra was also a little uneasy, and asked cautiously: "Commander, am I useless?" ”

"No, no, no, you're useful." An Tong took a deep breath and sighed.

"Huh? Are you sure? Higra was as happy as a rabbit.

"Well, really, your role is to make it harder for me..."

Such memories can make An Tong, who is lonely and hungry, a little more comfortable.

"I haven't been back for so long and I can't get in touch, this Nizi must be worried about shedding tears again, really... It's clear that they're all shipwives and they love to cry so much. ”

Just as Antong was thinking about whether to pinch Higra's left or right cheek first when he returned, the searchlight seemed to hit something.

It was a dark shadow on the sea, a little far away, and I couldn't tell what it was.

An Tong's heart beat nervously, and his palms began to sweat slightly, and he rehearsed the escape plan again in his heart, and then steered the yacht to drive there.

The yacht approached, but An Tong was a little afraid to take a closer look at what it was, was it the long-looking ship's mother, or the wreckage of something? Or is it... A deep fog waiting for a rabbit?

When the yacht got close enough, what caught An Tong's eyes was a black tight leather jacket, black standard short hair, and a simple ship uniform, which were the signs of the D-class ship girl, which was exactly the abandoned ship girl An Tong was looking for!

However, in addition to this, the ship's body was also wrapped in a black mist visible to the naked eye, which was a sign of severe erosion, and could turn back into a deep fog at any time!

It was the perfect result he had expected, and when the ship was close enough, he jumped into the sea without hesitation, and swam towards the ship's wife.

After swimming to the ship's side, Antong found that the petite ship's mother was lying on the surface of the sea and convulsing, looking extremely painful, which showed that she was making a final resistance to the devouring energy.

"Hold on! I'm here to save you! An Tong shouted loudly, theoretically speaking, his words would not have the slightest effect, the D-class ship girl did not have any intelligence, and naturally there would be no response.

But there seemed to be some responses coming out of the mouth of the ship's mother?

"Cover... Taffy... Escape..."

An Tong vaguely heard these words, he was not sure if he had heard them wrong, he took a deep breath, and began to face the final choice.

The way of purification is very simple, you only need to have physical contact with the ship girl, and the devouring energy will automatically flow into the admiral's body.

However, this ship's mother has suffered from serious pollution, and perhaps her body can't absorb so much energy at all, and she will be eaten by energy and die; Perhaps this ship's lady became deeply atomized during the purification process and enjoyed the food delivered to her mouth; Maybe after she completes the purification, this ship's mother will return to the original town guard mansion on official business...

A lot of thoughts flashed through Antong's mind, and the last thing that flashed was the silver-haired and white-clothed Higra standing at the gate of the dilapidated town guard mansion waiting for him to go home, with a gentle and kind smile on his face.

This is the smile he wants to protect.

So Antong set up the smart terminal and let it keep sending out distress signals. Even if you have made all the efforts you can, you will leave the rest to God!

Then he hugged the ship girl in front of him without hesitation.

"I'm going to protect this smile!" An Tong shouted heartbreakingly, as if he wanted to wake up the ship's mother in front of him: "So, I need you!" Need your help! Your strength is needed! ”

"Please! Wake up!! ”

"I'll protect you, too..."

Is this embracing death? Or is it embracing hope?

An Tong didn't know the answer, he only saw the black smoke-like devouring energy surging madly towards his body, and in just a moment, there was a sharp alarm sound from the personal terminal.

This shows that the situation is already dangerous, and an excess of devouring energy could harvest his life at any time!

However, An Tong didn't let go, and let the alarm scream as if it was about to pierce his eardrums.

"The waterproof performance of this thing is really good, but the sound is too ugly..."This was the last sentence An Tong said before his consciousness disappeared.

He then fell into a deep coma.

When he regained consciousness again, he felt as if he was wrapped in a white mist, he tried to recall what happened before, and smiled self-deprecatingly, it seems that God did not favor him...

I just don't know what exactly I drowned? Or was it killed by Devouring Energy? Or was she killed by the ship's mother who turned back into deep fog?

But why do you still have consciousness when you die? An Tong suddenly realized this, and then struggled to open his eyes.

An unfamiliar ceiling catches your eye.

"So, I'm still alive?" An Tong sighed lightly, "I'm really alive?" ”。

After speaking, he touched his body, he was conscious, his limbs were intact, and he seemed to be fine.

Then, he looked around and found a shipwreck standing in the corner.

Short black hair and black leather coat, a D-class ship girl in simple ship costume.

This D-class ship lady has neat and delicate bangs, a well-behaved body, and a delicate and flawless face like a porcelain doll. It's a pity that there is not the slightest expression on her face, and there is no sparkle in her cute big eyes, just like a real porcelain doll.

There is no doubt that this is the ship girl that An Tong rescued that night, although the shape of the D-class ship girl is basically like this, but the specific face is slightly different, often the admiral can only distinguish them by the code name set, but An Tong clearly remembers the appearance of this ship girl.

It appears that the excessive intake of phage did not destroy his brain cells.

"Do you remember me?" An Tong rolled up from the bed, ran to the ship mother without taking a few steps barefoot, gently stroked her hair, and asked.

There was no response.

At this time, An Tong suddenly noticed that the ship's chest was branded with a soldering iron...

"Damn, your former Admiral was such a bastard..."An Tong couldn't help but scold.

According to the theory in the book, the ship's body has a strong ability to repair itself, and the physical damage only needs to enter the workshop to repair it to be restored, even if the severed limbs can be regenerated.

And this ship's mother still has a brand left on her body, which means that her original admiral didn't let her repair it at all! Use it completely as a disposable item!

"Does it hurt?" An Tong tried to ask again.

Of course, there is still no response, and the simple intelligence of the D-class ship girl does not support her in answering this kind of question, they can only give simple answers to specific questions, so this kind of ship girl is so disliked.

But An Tong won't dislike it, he thinks this ship's lady seems to be a little unusual... If according to Ji Chao's words, the intelligence of the ship girl is still sound, she should immediately return to her own town guard mansion, right? And not waiting for yourself here.

So An Tong patiently continued to ask:

"Shall I take you to see the goldfish?"

"Would you like a lollipop?"

An Tong didn't give up, but asked one question after another, all of which were questions from the other party's intelligence, so he didn't respond until he asked:

"What's your name?"

"Generation... Number... I... Be... Generation... Number... I... Yes..."

The ship's mother seems to have fallen into some kind of mistake, her voice staccato and lacking logic and coherence, a bit like when she first met her that night.

What's a strange situation, isn't it? When An Tong was still confused, the ship's lady suddenly turned her head, stared at him quietly, and then spit out two words from her mouth with difficulty: "... Thank... Thanks..."

At this moment, An Tong's heart was completely filled with an emotion called gratification.

"That's... Will you let me be your admiral? Will you come back to the town guard with me? An Tong asked again with joy.

The ship's mother did not answer, but made a more powerful move than answering.

She stretched out her pink and cute little hand and gently held An Tong's left hand...

That's already the best answer, he really works miracles!

At this moment, An Tong even thought it was a dream? He pinched his thigh hard, and the pain answered him clearly, this is the reality!

"Go to TMD dismantling, go to TMD hard labor camp and soap factory, Lao Tzu did it! Lao Tzu****** actually did it! An Tong shouted happily, venting his inner emotions to the fullest.

However, he could not enjoy this excitement for a few more seconds, and the door was suddenly pushed open, accompanied by a wave of angry questioning:

"Are you retarded?"
