How did the ship's mother die?

A long time ago, Ruyue, who sank the deep-sea habitat ship for the first time, watched her sink, and when she sank, what appeared in my heart was not excitement, nor joy, nor the so-called glory, but a faint confusion and fear-

In the future, will you be like this?

Sink into the sea, merge into the boundless sea, and lose all traces of existence......

Darkness covers everything, and the warm ocean of the past is now like a giant mouth connecting to the abyss, swallowing everything that exists above it indiscriminately.

Weakly stretched his hand up, and the dim light finally faded.

Don't forget...... Like the moon......

How did the ship's mother die?

From the first time he was in the waters of the Seventh Town, after watching Ning Hai completely sink the broken deep-sea habitat ship, Li Lan had already understood.

The unknown power gives them almost immortal bodies, but everything is based on the premise that the ontology is intact, once the battleship sinks, then the ship's mother will sink with it, and then ......

Drown.

Diving into the sea, urging the remnants of light energy to input the structure behind it, a series of bubbles erupted at the same time, and Lilan stretched out his right hand to the girl who fell into the deep sea.

In a trance, Ruyue, who was on the verge of eternal sleep, reluctantly opened her purple eyes.

Light......

―――――― Split ――――――

A figure jumped out of the sea, and after the water swung away, he realized that there was another girl in his arms, but her current condition did not seem to be normal.

"Island Wind!"

He shouted hoarsely to the busy island wind on the other side, both his ability and his body were extremely exhausted and overdrawn: "There is another one here!" ”

A battleship that had been toppled in the impact of the tsunami barely regained its stability under the towing of the island wind and Ninghai, but the hole on the right side that kept pouring water into it proved that it could not hold out for longer, but there were many serious ones that were more serious than it.

At the huge crossroads, in this nuclear explosion from the hands of human beings, more than 10 warships were "shattered" by the explosion on the spot, but more were damaged and capsized in the seven tsunamis that caused later, waiting for the arrival of fate in the violent radiation.

It's just that, unlike the intended detonation site, the nuclear bomb from the 6th Town Guard Mansion was forcibly moved to the sea area more than 1,100 meters to the north to explode, and the retreat order was given in Rilan, so there was no 6th Town Guard Mansion or 7th Town Guard House among the battleships that were torn up on the spot.

However, if they continue to sink......

As far as the eye can see, the evaporating mist in the sky condenses high in the sky, turning into radiation rain and pouring down, the sea is still turbulent, and the shattered steel wreckage occasionally crashes into the toppled battleship, some of which are bounced off by the powerful armor, but more of them carry the kinetic energy brought by the impact and sink deep into the hull.

Including Daofeng and Ninghai, which are farthest from the center of the outbreak, and the Sixth Destroyer Team that dispersed in time, there are currently less than 10 ship girls who can still move in the sea area at the crossroads.

In ten minutes, if there is no way to pull up these dumped battleships, then even if they are not destroyed in the nuclear explosion, they will sink under the erosion of the radiant sea.

After discovering Ruyue in Lilan's hand, Island Wind immediately drove the battleship to his side.

"It's not a big problem to get into the water" handed over Ruyue, who was unconscious in her arms, to Daofeng, and Li Lan wiped the radiation rain off her face: "Did you pull it up alone?" ”

As the battleship farthest away from the center of the explosion, Shimakaze can be said to be the best ship in the current crossroads - Xiao Po.

Coupled with the fact that she is a prototype ship, she should be able to pull up the dumped Ruyue.

"No problem, leave it to Shimafeng!"

"Thank you" smiled on the pale face: "I'll send you 10 times the ice cream when I go back"

"That's 50 cups~"

"Hmm"

The depleted light energy was fed into the structure behind it again, and the little magic left was used to maintain the water elemental horizon - the sand and gravel on the seabed were lifted from the nuclear explosion, and the normal underwater horizon could not exceed 30 cm at the moment.

Plunged headlong into the sea and swam towards another battleship.

"Must be ......" hugged the partner of the Sixth Town Guard, gritted his teeth and drove the battleship to the battleship, approaching the battleship of Ruyue: "I want to pay it back!" ”

―――――― Split ――――――

“…… Gaga, you just stay here."

Looking at the huge mushroom cloud rising in the distance, after a brief shock, there was a sadness that could not be concealed—one can imagine how many sisters could survive under this final weapon used to defend the town.

"There's no danger of capsizing at this distance, but the radiation isn't—"

"Gaga is going too!"

The girl's firm tone came from the communicator: "If it's my sister, I won't stay!" ”

Silent.

When he opened his mouth, Akagi was about to say something.

"Zizi ――――――"

The cacophony of noise occupies the entire communication channel, and in terms of electromagnetic interference alone, a nuclear explosion is definitely far beyond the current means of deep-sea habitat ships.

―――――― Split ――――――

Miss.

Five minutes later, Leylan came to this conclusion almost in despair.

Most of the surviving ships are light destroyers, and their horsepower simply cannot support so many medium and heavy cruisers in such a short period of time, not to mention, they are still in a state of medium or big breakdown.

"I'm sorry, Lord Admiral......"

His chin rested weakly on Rilan's shoulder, and Atago, whose face was pale, watched his hull sink on the sea little by little: "I didn't obey your order and left immediately......"

The blood of "......" fell along the corners of his lips, but the warm feeling could not dispel the coldness in his heart at all.

There should be a way...... There is still a way......

"Now, Lord Admiral......"

The voice in his ears gradually subsided, and Li Lan looked at the sunken battleship in front of him, and at this moment, the remorse from his heart almost overwhelmed him.

If you think about it a little more at the beginning.

"Remember what Atago said...... Do you have a request......"

"Remember, so don't sleep" reason collapsed a little, struggling to maintain his smile, but still uncontrollably distorted: "When I go back, don't say one, even ten I promise you, so-"

Don't sleep!

"It's cold...... Lord Admiral...... "The sound of the faint mosquito is like a wax fire in the wind, perhaps completely extinguished in the next moment you cannot predict.

Overdrawn body, under the desperate pressing, a trace of depleted light energy emerged again, and Li Lan did not hesitate to instill it into the structure behind him.

A dim light erupted, and the girl was slowly lifted away from the sea.

"Don't sleep, the sun will come out in a while, this storm won't last long......" Looking at the sea below, those ships that were sinking slowly but firmly in the waves, something could not be suppressed from the blue pupils: "Then you will be able to see the sun, and accompany your sisters on the expedition as before, fight together, and return together......"

"Lord Admiral...... Are you crying......"

“…… Just the rain."

"Lord Admiral...... Atago has been thinking about it......"

"......" Suddenly, in the pale blue water elemental vision, two ships were rapidly approaching the crossroads.

"Wait...... Atago, don't sleep! Right away—right away—right away—"

"What if...... In the beginning...... Encounter...... It's you...... Just ...... up"
