"Wow-uh-"

The huge white waves reflected the midday light that covered the sky, and the sea in the distance shimmered, while the light near was swallowed up by the rolling white waves.

“……”

For the time being, he had not encountered the enemy, Chen Hang had already gotten off the bridge with Jinfeng, stood on the deck at the end of the Jinfeng hull, and looked at his own fleet nearby.

It was a huge team that I belonged to.

On the right, is responsible for the left center wing of the fleet (the former word is located in the transverse position of the hull, the latter word is the longitudinal position, and the same will be true in the future.) The escort of the island wind hull, (because it is from the tail of the Jinfeng hull to the back of the hull, the direction is opposite to the course) The golden light of the sun also shone on the steel streamlined hull, under the feeling of the sea breeze blowing on the side of his face, Chen Hang looked at the long white waves behind the hull like this, and stood still for a long time.

After turning back to his gaze, the green light floating cannon floating slightly on the hull of the island wind maintained a gentle rise and fall with a sense of science fiction, and with the speed of the fleet, it also temporarily demonstrated the tranquility of this sea speedboat. (In normal sailing, the speed of an entire fleet depends on the slowest ship.) ）

After a long moment, he turned his head and looked at the hull of the other three shipwives behind him.

Slightly larger than the island wind hull is the Yisen, which is taller and more slender than the destroyer's hull, staying at the very tail of the fleet, guarding the rear of the capital ship.

And the ...... in the center It is the largest battleship hull.

The 222-meter-long hull of the ship, carrying a towering bridge, and three triple 406mm giant main guns stood motionless on the majestic steel body of the battleship, each of which was the size of a blue whale, like an unchallengeable beast.

The large and small auxiliary guns on the sides of the ship, the dense layout of anti-aircraft guns in all corners of the hull, and the complex hull structure make people unable to understand it thoroughly, just like the prestige of the hull size, Washington's hull has already highlighted its difference from other ships in spirit while being a battleship.

Therefore, Washington and prestige as the main force, that is something that cannot be changed at all, because on the battlefield where there are no aircraft carriers, artillery already represents the law of long-distance output.

As frigate-class destroyers and light cruisers, they are naturally attacking the other side with torpedoes while also protecting their own main forces.

Chen Hang, who was just looking at the battleship hull like this, was also like Jin Feng, raised his head slightly, looked at the captain's room on the bridge of the battleship that was only two kilometers away, and hung his head helplessly without changing his expression.

But this is also an inevitable manifestation, after all, whether it is a destroyer or an admiral, the trend of longing for the large-caliber main gun of a cannon giant ship is indeed unshakable.

"Whew-"

It's just that the sea breeze still rings in my ears.

Chen Hang and Jin Feng were also only half-chaired on the steel railing at the edge of the deck, silent without saying anything to each other.

Only Chen Hang glanced at the petite girl beside him.

The sea breeze gently stroked the girl's pale silver long hair, playing with it a little lonely in the air, and her face was no longer vibrant, but her arms under the brown original sailor suit were pressed against the guardrail, and a lot of the weakness that always exuded the sense of affinity that was always easy to exude disappeared.

The tense atmosphere, in fact, has been slowly fermenting in the sea since Chen Hang's weak feeling disappeared.

Even if it's just a drill, this kind of strong pressure that is not a joke at all really makes Chen Hang, who is a human being, really depressed in his heart, and he can't feel very optimistic as usual, the strength of his fleet is very strong, and he is not afraid of any other team at all.

“…… I'll ask you a question. ”

Chen Hang didn't turn his head, looked at the waves on the sea nearby, and spoke softly to Jinfeng who was very close to him.

"Huh? ……”

After hearing Chen Hang's words, she turned her head slightly, maintaining the indifferent expression that was neither happy nor annoyed just now, her eyes did not move superfluously, waiting for what Chen Hang wanted to say.

"You're going to ...... Afraid of dying in battle? ”

Chen Hang said so calmly.

It's possible that before entering the real battlefield, Chen Hang really won't think about this problem.

But the battlefield is a battlefield after all, and if you want to fight a battle without the ship's death...... I guess it's going to be hard.

Even so, Chen Hang, who has not really experienced the battlefield, will actually not think of these problems at the moment when that desperate moment really comes.

It's just the sea of blood when I haven't woken up just now...... It seemed to make him notice something.

In his heart, he was very confused, as if he was afraid of something, but if he wanted to ask his heart, he was not afraid of fighting, not afraid of being injured, but afraid of something that he couldn't say, which made his heart very heavy.

“……”

It seems that such a question is not something that Jinfeng can answer in one bite.

It's just that the sea breeze is still blowing, and although she didn't speak, she looked at Chen Hang's eyes and never moved, and her expression never changed significantly.

"Absolutely."

Jin Feng smiled slightly, but it was not that energetic smile, maybe there was too much helplessness in it.

"No matter who you are, when you encounter a situation where you have to die, you will be afraid."

Like Chen Hang, she rested her arms under her chin, resting on the steel railing, and looked at the sea in front of her with her silver-haired little head.

"But...... There is a reason why I am afraid of death. ”

It's just that the teenage girl who should be very naïve and never considers these cruel issues thinks very clearly and speaks unambiguously.

"Because I think...... If you die, you won't be able to protect everyone anymore, you won't be able to see everyone laugh anymore, and you won't be able to stay by the Admiral's side to protect the Admiral, so you'll be so scared......"

She was petite, and she just said that.

“……”

Chen Hang didn't speak, still didn't move.

"Fear of death...... Originally, I was afraid of dying because I was afraid of losing other important things to myself. ”

After Jin Feng said this, he didn't say anything.

It seems that the atmosphere is still so solemn.

Chen Hang himself pondered.

Fear of death...... As Tsukaze said, the essence is the fear that many things will cease to exist because of death.

Rich people are afraid of losing the money they have accumulated all their lives, even though it will be entrusted to their children.

People who are in love will be afraid that because they are dead, they will not see each other.

In short, when all people die, they are not actually afraid of the concept of death...... It's a real fear that when I die, I'll lose something.

So...... I should be afraid of losing the wind of Jin, the wind of the island, and the sun of tomorrow......

After all, as a very emotional and always sad person, Chen Hang has never been afraid of being beaten and discriminated against by others, but he is only afraid of losing all kinds of friends around him and losing his loved ones.

“……”

Chen Hang just looked at the front helplessly, feeling that he hadn't started fighting yet, and he was too incompetent to think about it like this.

But this ...... It's not a strange idea.

Perhaps, his thoughts are the thoughts that a normal person should have......

Because after all, the desperate scene that is about to be experienced is not far away......
