The sun is beginning to set, and an abandoned pier in the fortress port of Yokosuka.

"Hiss~!"

On the ground of the abandoned pier of reinforced concrete, a starfish that had just crawled out was picked up from the ground by a pair of white and tender hands, and after pinching it a few times, it twisted directly and made a subtle sound.

"Soft...... Starfish? The subject is Echinoderma, Hipsters, Starfish ......"

Looking at the starfish in her hand, which was still instinctively active, Iona's green jewel-like pupils quickly showed rows of data, showing the types of starfish in front of her and human research records.

However, the soft starfish did not make Iona feel that she couldn't put it down, just pinched the starfish a few times and observed it, Iona threw the starfish in her hand into the sea without hesitation, and after listening to the "poof" sound, she looked at the starfish that sank into the sea and swam away directly for a while, and then looked at the surroundings with a curious gaze.

"That's what it is...... What does it feel like to be human?"

Glancing at the starfish that had disappeared into the sea again, Iona was a little unaccustomed to moving her hands and feet, and sighed softly.

The cool feeling of the sea breeze blowing, the feeling of the sun shining on you, the feeling of walking through all parts of your body, the feeling of other people looking at you...... Sensations that have not been experienced in various quantum communication networks make Iona, who has condensed her body for the first time, very new and strange feelings, which seem to be unique to "humans".

However, before Iona could continue to wait, Li Yuan's figure had already appeared on the edge of the dock, and then the sound of footsteps reached Iona's ears!

"Iona...... I guess I can call you that, right?"

Seeing a pair of emerald eyes that Iona looked up at, Li Yuan, who had just chosen to come over directly, did not stop his steps, and walked to a distance of almost ten meters from Iona before stopping, and said, "So, what I want to know is, why did you come to me?" And, what is the purpose of your approach to me?"

Li Yuan doesn't know Iona's origin?

Of course, this is a joke, and it is strange that a prepared traveler does not know the plot situation!

In fact, Li Yuan was even able to speculate about Iona's true origin through intelligence, as well as the current situation and situation of the Sea Mist Fleet, and the plot can also be roughly used as a reference for intelligence. However, Li Yuan felt that it was better to be serious in the face of this mysterious sea fog ship lady in the face of the first meeting with Iona.

"Go and see Li Yuan, the righteous son of Chihaya Sho, and follow his orders!"

Hearing Li Yuan's question, Iona's pretty face, which can be called Sanwu, did not have the slightest expression, and her tone seemed to be as normal as a matter of course, and then looked at Li Yuan and continued: "This is me, the only order I received before I fell asleep, and I will come to you as soon as I wake up!"

"Sleeping? Awakening? Command...... So, what exactly is your identity, Iona?"

Seeing Iona's expression, Li Yuan, who was more and more sure of the current situation, asked indifferently.

"I ...... It is a prop that obeys and is given orders!"

Iona didn't hear the indifferent meaning of Li Yuan's words, looked at Li Yuan's face and was silent for less than 0.01 seconds, then stroked her hand in front of her and said an unusually cold answer, and at the same time raised her hands up in a blooming posture.

Buzz――――――

After a soft sound, Iona's body directly showed an illusory brilliance, and then the whole person seemed to be an angel shrouded in a circle of light. And in the next moment, the aperture that seemed to be composed of digital and illusory light screens suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire abandoned dock at once, and suddenly extending into a circle of aperture larger than the giant stadium!

At this moment, as long as the people of Yokosuka Fortress Port were not dead, they all saw this abnormal scene, and then the first time the high alarm sound spread throughout the fortress harbor.

"Look!"

"What's that?"

"Sound the Alarm ......" ......

There is no doubt that after seeing this abnormal situation, the entire Yokosuka fortress harbor was in an uproar, and the personnel on duty in the warships, warning points, and fire positions were the first to act, and the garrison troops had even begun to gather.

In the case of ordinary people, they must be speechless in the face of Iona's behavior, but fortunately, whether it is Li Yuan or Iona herself, they all ignore the reaction to the Yokosuka Fortress Port - Li Yuan does not need to say much, the little force of the Yokosuka Fortress Port has not been put in his eyes, and Iona simply does not care about this "trivial matter"!

"Alright! Iona, depending on the situation, please do what you want to do as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in trouble......"

Glancing at the already noisy Yokosuka Fortress Port, Li Yuan looked at Iona who was making a big commotion in front of him a little speechlessly, and asked Iona, the three-no-ship girl, with a hint of helplessness.

"Confirm, Li Yuan, what is your purpose now?"

Seemingly not feeling the recklessness of her actions, Iona looked at Li Yuan very seriously and asked a question.

What is your purpose?

Just like asking a person "what is your purpose in life?" is a question that is easy to answer and difficult to answer.

Fortunately, for Li Yuan, the answer to this question has already been reached, and he has been working hard for it.

"My purpose? I just want to be able to control my own destiny in my own hands!

Whether it's myself, or those close to me, my purpose is to make myself strong enough to be in charge of myself and those close to me, not to stay in this place and waste my time!"

Looking at Iona, Li Yuan's eyes were unusually sharp and serious, and he said his true feelings word by word.

Take control of your own destiny!

This is what Li Yuan strives to achieve after obtaining the inheritance of the Star Empire.

Even if he can eat and wait for death, with the help of the heir authority of the Star Empire, he can dominate in some low-level worlds, and even become the emperor of life and death, but after Li Yuan obtained the heir authority of the Star Empire, how could he be willing to eat and wait for death for the rest of his life, and then face death directly? Of course, when Li Yuan's eyes saw the life and death in those worlds, in addition to maintaining some preferences for himself, he was more interested in pursuing the things that controlled his own destiny!

For this purpose, Li Yuan deducted those behaviors of opening the (crab) palace, and there was no shortage of dangerous situations in which he played with his life, not wanting to be eager to control his own destiny, Li Yuan could be a rice worm comfortably......

"Understood! Well, I'll be able to start again!"

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Iona looked at Li Yuan very seriously and replied.

While saying those affirmative words, a smile appeared on the corner of Iona's mouth, like an angelic smile that only Li Yuan on the other side could appreciate......

……

At the same moment when Iona smiled, it was located at the underground pier of Yokosuka Fortress Port.

"Buzz !!"

The originally silent Yi 401 suddenly started again, and the blue Klein force field suddenly flashed on the surface of Yi 401, attracting the attention of those scientific researchers and security personnel who were temporarily resting.

"What's wrong?"

"Yi 401 has started !! again"

"Quickly investigate for me, where was it just ......?" ......

Seeing the I-401 submarine come alive again, everyone was excited, including the person in charge of the I-401 project named Aoki who stayed behind.

The fact that the I-401 submarine is active again does not prove that the research may have progressed!

Whether it is out of the name of righteousness or out of self-interest (not to mention civilians in Japan and other countries now, even the treatment of researchers is regulated according to the importance of the situation), and now the treatment of the I-401 submarine project has been reduced a lot, and they really want to make progress to prove their worth.

After all, in a small place like Japan, where people are already starving to death every day, the treatment of the researchers is already a matter of family survival, and no guy will be so stupid as to survive with himself or even his family!

But in the next second, the faces of everyone present changed!

I saw that on the Yi 401 submarine, a small caliber laser defense cannon that was originally hidden suddenly turned out of the submarine's platform, and then the high-energy laser beam began to cut the restraints and steel roof on the Yi 401 like a cutting knife.

After a small sound, the I-401 submarine cleared its surroundings and caused the researchers and guards who were trying to study I-401 to run wildly. And at the torpedo launch port of the submarine, a special torpedo suddenly flew out and flew towards the steel isolation door of the underground isolation pier!

"Boom !!"

When the torpedo that was moving irregularly hit the huge steel barrier, it suddenly shone with red light and roar, directly resounding throughout the entire Yokosuka fortress harbor.

Especially the glowing red light mask, its honeycomb-like polygonal red light looks unusually obvious science fiction color, and its power is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, it is obviously a thick gate made of special alloy After facing its bombardment, almost no resistance effect was swallowed up by the power of its explosion.

Erosion torpedoes!

One of the signature weapons of the Sea Mist Fleet, a super weapon that can even cause damage to the Sea Mist Fleet, a terrifying weapon that controls gravity waves to erode the space around the target, causing the activity of the constituent particles of matter to stop and collapse!

After receiving the order from his own mental model, the launched Yi-401 submarine directly loaded and fired the erosion torpedo, blasting open the alloy isolation door in front of him that was specially used for defense and concealment, and the swept sea water directly submerged the Yi-401 submarine and those who did not have time to escape.

In the next second, the power system of the I-401 submarine, which was immersed in the seawater, suddenly started, causing the I-401 submarine to gallop directly towards the fortress port at a terrifying speed......

……

The camera pans to reveal a somewhat silent atmosphere on the abandoned docks.

The roar and movement of the erosion torpedo made Li Yuan turn his head to look at the place that had collapsed into a huge crater and waves, and then he felt a slight vibration coming from the soles of his feet.

"Boom―――――― boom !!"

In less than a few breaths, the Yi 401 submarine appeared in front of Li Yuan in a wild manner, and after the huge hull rushed out of the water with a roaring sound, it slowly anchored to the edge of the abandoned dock.

The appearance of the hundred-meter-long Yi 401 submarine was quite amazing, but neither Li Yuan nor Yi Ona was frightened, and looked at the approach of the Yi 401 submarine safely!

"Sea Mist Fleet! Submarine I-401 ......"

Looking at the arrival of the Yi 401 submarine, Li Yuan couldn't help but look at the Yi 401 submarine, which was a little different from the human submarine, and the sky blue energy pattern appeared on his body, and then he turned his head to look at Iona who was standing quietly on the side, and asked in a somewhat expectant tone: "Miss Iona, you mean that you belong to a member of the Sea Mist Fleet, and now you are looking for me?"

"Yes! The only command I know is to contact you and obey you, and that is the only command!"

Hearing Li Yuan's words, there seemed to be a glimmer of brilliance in Iona's somewhat empty eyes, and she spoke as she walked towards the I-401 submarine that had been moored. And when she walked to the side of the Yi 401 submarine ship and turned around, she looked at Li Yuan and said in a pitiful indifferent words: "We are weapons, obeying orders and fighting, but such an existence, so we are eager to be ordered!"

When she said this, Iona looked at Li Yuan's turquoise eyes, without the slightest complaint or unwillingness, as if she was an emotionless puppet, telling the only meaning and command of her existence!

However, Iona's situation,On the contrary, it makes people who know the mental model of the Sea Fog Fleet feel more and more pity.,These mental models of the Sea Fog Battleship with their own feelings and personalities.,It can be said that the girl who really has a soul.,And now Iona, who has just had a body.,It's equivalent to that newborn life.,In addition to taking the Sea Fog Fleet's previous battle situation and the last order as a creed.,Other aspects belong to a pure girl like a blank piece of paper.。

This is also the reason why Iona found Li Yuan and determined that Li Yuan was unwilling to accept the current situation, and took the initiative to launch her Yi 401 submarine to come over!

"Iona, have you decided? Do you want to be my ship, or even fight the sea fog and humans?"

Looking at Iona's pure emerald eyes looking at him, Li Yuan ignored the already noisy Yokosuka Fortress Port, and asked Iona very seriously.

Li Yuan's words made Iona's eyes fluctuate for the first time, looking at Li Yuan who stretched out his hand to invite herself, Iona slowly stretched out her hand and took a deep breath, and then at the same time that the little hand was held by Li Yuan, a subtle light suddenly emanated from her body, and then the data brilliance that had originally escaped suddenly changed from another color.

"Li Yuan, please take me to fight!"

At the same time, Iona, who was holding Li Yuan's hand, looked at Li Yuan with an unwavering gaze and said.

For Iona, she doesn't have too complicated thoughts now, and the only order to "be with Li Yuan and follow his orders" is Iona's own goal. And Li Yuan, whether he fights with the sea fog or with humans, will not let Iona change his actions.

Now, in the face of Li Yuan's inquiry, Iona did not hesitate at all, and proved her decision with the most practical actions, intending to fight with Li Yuan, and even face the humans and the sea mist fleet!

"Excellent! Iona, let's get ready to leave!"

Gently holding Iona's little hand, seeing that Iona felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, Li Yuan looked at the surrounding situation, and said to Iona with a smile: "Now, the entire port seems to be alarmed, if we don't want to be besieged by the entire port, then let's go first!"

"Hmmm! Captain!"

Although she was a little strange why she felt that inexplicably flustered, after hearing Li Yuan's words, Iona nodded and shouted directly to Li Yuan.

With Li Yuan pulling Iona, he stepped on the energy platform that extended from the I-401 submarine and was like a void platform and rushed to the I-401 submarine and entered the submarine...... (To be continued.) )
