They are not human.

Even if they have the appearance of human beings and the feelings of human beings, they still can't change the fact that they are weapons of war from the moment they are born for war, and more carefully, for the sake of inflicting as many losses as possible on the enemy.

Whether it's a ship or a deep-sea habitat ship.

Death may be just as fearful to them, but they will never resist it, or rather, this is their standard ending.

So, by mistake, putting human thinking into the deep-sea habitat ship, Lilan made this fatal mistake.

“…… Self-detonation ...... ......"

The bitter feeling grows little by little, even if it can't bring losses to the enemy, it can't let the enemy gain anything-the diary on the "base", Li Lan vaguely remembers this sentence.

(There's only one thing left for me to do now, get rid of those resources as much as possible, or else we'll only create more disasters...... ）

Every existence living in this era, whether it is a human being, a ship mother, or a deep-sea perch, has already had the consciousness to face this war, and only his own visitors from another world are still stupidly clinging to the original thinking.

This is war.

You live or die, leaving no room for life and death -- a struggle for the survival of the race.

Day 33, dusk.

The expedition ended with the deep-sea habitat ship detonating all the ammunition in stock and sinking into the sea.

In the violent explosion, Lilan didn't even dare to let Z16 and Ning Hai get close, and naturally he couldn't get any resources.

As a result, the expedition consumed a total of 17 units of fuel and 9 units of ammunition, while the proceeds were ...... 0。

At present, the only remaining fuel, including the stocks on the "base", is only 14 units left, and the ammunition is in a desperate situation.

"5 ......"

Looking at the numbers in the notebook, Rilan didn't show a bitter smile, which is why it is said that he made a fatal mistake.

Insufficient understanding of the specific consumption of the Z16, insufficient understanding of the group of deep-sea habitat ships, and an over-underestimation of the world's naval warfare......

One by one, the direct consequence is the current situation.

The remaining resources can't even support Ninghai and Z16 to have another inducement and containment battle like before.

"Lord Admiral~"

"Huh?"

Subconsciously turned his head and saw Z16's face close at hand - the distance between them was less than 3 centimeters, and Lilan could even feel Z16's girlish snort.

Without saying a word, Li Lan withdrew his body back more than half a meter, and asked without changing his face, "What's wrong?" ”

"Eh~" Seeing Rilan's reaction, Z16 looked distressed, and it looked like a "primary school student who couldn't get the toys he wanted".

"Ming Ming Xi Li-chan said that it was so useful, isn't Lord Admiral a man?"

“…… Ninghai"

"Yes, is there something wrong with Lord Admiral?"

"Drag her away"

“……”

―――――― Split ――――――

In the end, the discussion on the question of "whether Lord Admiral is a man or not" still came to an end, and Li Lan finally understood the reason why Z16 did this under Ning Hai's explanation.

“…… So, it's because I've been gloomy since I came back, so you and Ning Hai want to make me happy-" looked at Z16 with a "bright" smile on his face, and Ning Hai with a red face and an embarrassed expression: "You just want to send me 'benefits'?" ”

"Well, it's not just Yutachi-chan who said it's useful, but also the island wind sauce~" Z16 showed an expression of "Come and praise me" and said proudly.

Li Lan rubbed his eyebrows bitterly: "Before that, can you tell me how big that 'Yutachi-chan' and 'Island Wind Sauce' are?" ”

Z16 looked at Lilan suspiciously: "How old?" ”

“…… Let's be more direct, aren't they the same elementary school as you - ahem, the size of you" almost leaked out.

"yes~"

“……”

The gendarmerie doesn't care about these things?

"Forget it...... Remember, don't do this kind of thing in the future," Lilan stressed to the Z16 uneasily.

"Eh~ why?"

"Ahem, I'm not loli controlling ......" his eyes fluttered, but he happened to see Ning Hai next to him suddenly showing a shocked expression, and Li Lan didn't know where to start complaining.

This script was wrong in the first place, right?! You're going to have no even the most basic "dinner", is that really okay?!

"All in all - that's the end of the topic!"

As a last resort, Lilan had to take out the "majesty" that belonged to the admiral, but the problem was that this "majesty" didn't know how long it would last......

Exhaling a breath, no matter how reluctant he is, Li Lan must face up to the next problem, for this reason, he needs to be enlightened: "Although the basic you are already roughly clear, I still summarize the results of this expedition."

After hearing this, not only Ning Hai, but even Z16 put away the smile on his face: "...... I'm sorry, Admiral, if Z16 hadn't explained it to Admiral......"

"It's all Ning Hai's fault, Ning Hai should have explained it to the Admiral from the beginning—"

"Okay, this is not a review meeting" Pressing on the top of Ning Hai and Z16's heads, Li Lan smiled: "Don't show such an expression, as far as the final result is concerned, you have successfully sunk a deep-sea habitat ship with skillful cooperation, which is something worth celebrating." ”

"Hmm~ to celebrate—" Rilan frowned, as if thinking about something.

He smiled at the two shipwives: "Let's have a bonfire tonight!" ”

"Huh...... Admiral, is it really possible? A golden light flashed in Z16's eyes.

On the contrary, Ning Hai looked at Li Lan worriedly, probably afraid of affecting Z16's enthusiasm, and reminded Li Lan in a low voice: "Lord Admiral, the resources have been ......."

Li Lan waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, although the 'big fish and big meat' don't dare to say." But if it's just a bonfire, it's still supported."

Counting the "food amount" of light cruisers and destroyers, even if you let go of eating, it will probably be about 2 units per meal.

The remaining three units, plus two more guns - enough!

"So, in order to celebrate the first victory, coupled with the belated welcome meeting, let's not get drunk tonight!"

"Oh~"

―――――― Split ――――――

"The ......"

"Ning Hai doesn't believe me?"

“…… Ning Hai understood, no matter what decision the Admiral makes, Ning Hai will always follow the Admiral! ”

Looking at the girl's resolute expression, Rilan just replied with a reassuring smile.

After Ning Hai and Z16 walked away together to prepare for tonight's "party", Li Lan looked at the eastern coast alone - it happened that the last rays of the sunset were completely swallowed up by the dim sea, and the only thing left was the boundless darkness.

"Phew"

Like the first ray of light tearing through the darkness in the dark world, the most blazing one, the blazing blade of light poked out from his left hand and spread out for nearly 1.5 meters before stopping.

"My consciousness is ready, what about you......"
