The boundless sea, with nothing but the rippling water surface, makes people feel vast and comfortable, but it also inevitably brings a sense of boredom and loneliness.
"This is my first time going out to sea with you guys." Little Zeppelin said softly, "It doesn't seem like anything new..."
The young commander nodded, "Well... since you can't summon a carrier plane and can't participate in the battle, I can only leave you at home."
"Yeah, I know. I just didn't know what to do after I suddenly ran to the sea." Little Zeppelin adjusted his messenger bag. "Obviously, I have to fight at sea in the future."
The young commander suddenly fell silent, because she knew that in history, the Zeppelin had no chance to go out to sea to participate in the battle. It was not even completed before it was sunk to the bottom of the sea by the iron-blooded crew.
But she couldn't just tell little Zeppelin like that. After all, little Zeppelin knew nothing, and she wasn't sure whether the world over there would follow history, so Su Xin had to shut up.
"..Why aren't you talking? You look so bored." Little Zeppelin squeezed Su Xin's hand, which was slightly bigger than hers, and said, "Talk to me more."
"What?"
"Hmm... I don't know." Little Zeppelin chuckled for no apparent reason. "It feels so weird, I suddenly want to laugh or something."
Su Xin couldn't laugh much, but little Zeppelin asked her to speak, so she thought for a moment and said, "How about I tell you a story?"
"Hmm? Okay, do you have any funny stories?"
Su Xin was stunned. She was not good at telling jokes, but in order not to disappoint the children, she racked her brains and started telling jokes.
"Hmm...what would Pikachu become if he stood up?"
Little Zeppelin thought for a long time, "What is Pikachu?"
Su Xin sighed, "He will become a pickup soldier... should I change him?"
"Okay, tell me now."
"Well...in the past..."
Chapter 278 Leaving
"Hmm... that island, right?"
Su Xin nodded, "Yes, that's the destination."
"Is that so?" Little Zeppelin was a little puzzled, "But my home is not here... and this place doesn't seem to be far away."
"We need to meet someone first. She will help send you back." The little commander led Tiancheng and little Zeppelin onto the familiar island and looked at the figure standing in the middle of the lush square. "Look, it's her.
The Purifier turned around as he was told and was about to say something, but when he saw the little commander with messy hair, he glanced at Tiancheng, who was the tallest, and was suddenly stunned.
"You two are a bit too similar."
Under normal circumstances, Commander Su would have said something back to her, but he was not in the mood at the moment, so he just walked towards the Purifier in silence.
The Purifier was not happy. How could you be like this? You were very nice to me when I had something to do, but you turned your back on me after I was done with my work. How could she, a dignified Siren Purifier, endure such injustice?
So the Purifier raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when she glanced at the dagger hanging on the commander's waist. The painful memories of the past came flooding back to her, making her swallow back what she wanted to say.
But if she didn't speak, she would seem to have no status, so the Purifier thought about it and decided to start with little Zeppelin.
"Is it the missing data? How did it turn into a human?"
Su Xin was very dissatisfied when she heard this, "It's 'she', not 'it', can you be more careful with your wording?"
"No?? How did you know which word I was saying? Aren't the pronunciations the same?"
The young commander sniffed and smelled a slightly sour smell coming from the Purifier. It wasn't pungent, but it was always subtly upsetting.
"I just know it." Su Xin released her ship girl status, closed the olfactory information, and walked in front of the Purifier.
"Okay, okay, 'she', 'she' is fine, right?" The Purifier didn't bother to argue too much. It wasn't an important matter anyway, and she was more concerned about another thing. "Did you bring all my snacks?"
Su Xin glanced at the Purifier unhappily, took out the sachet and shook it at him, "I have it. Tell me first how you are going to send Zeppelin back?"
Upon hearing this, Little Zeppelin looked at the Purifier nervously, as if expecting an answer, but unfortunately, the Purifier explained the process very confidently.
"It's very simple. Just use the teleportation device to open a door, convert her back into data state, and then import her into the corresponding time node in the plan. It won't be too much trouble."
Little Zeppelin didn't understand, but she knew that she could indeed go home, so she breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she felt a little disappointed in her heart.
Su Xin actually didn't like the Purifier's casual answer. She felt that this was a big deal and shouldn't be taken lightly. But she couldn't influence the Purifier. After all, the two of them were of different camps or races.
same.
"Then let's send little Zeppelin back first." Su Xin pursed her lips, "I'll give you the snacks after she returns safely."
The Purifier didn't quite understand why Su Xin attached so much importance to a piece of data. It felt like she was a homebody obsessed with her second-dimensional wife. But then she thought about it and realized that she seemed to like the girls in the mobile game as well, so she felt relieved.
"Okay." The Purifier nodded and led the three to the dormitory that was already covered with vines. He stood in the center of the dormitory hall of humans during the past winter activities and casually summoned a virtual light screen.
He clicked a few times among a bunch of symbols that Su Xin couldn't understand, and then opened the portal. "Let's go to my house first. I didn't bring the conversion equipment with me."
After the Purifier finished speaking, he stepped directly into the vortex in front of him. Little Zeppelin was a little afraid of this unknown thing and held Su Xin's hand tightly.
Commander Su squeezed little Zeppelin's hand comfortingly, then followed Tiancheng and stepped into the vortex.
The teleportation process was a little dizzying, but it was very short, as if it was just a moment of closing their eyes, and they found themselves standing in the Purifier's room.
The familiar computer, the familiar space, the familiar incubator, everything remained the same as it was before they left, making Su Xin feel very comfortable after staying there for a few days.
The Purifier waited until the three of them recovered before saying, "Follow me." Then he turned around and led the way.
Su Xin and Tian Cheng were familiar with the layout and facilities here, but it was different for little Zeppelin. It was her first time to come to this cold space that seemed full of technology. She always felt uncomfortable, but this was the only way for her to go home.
road.
After walking around for a while, the Purifier stopped in a room filled with various instruments. After the three people caught up, she walked in first.
Then, a light screen appeared in front of the commander's eyes, and he quickly tapped on the keyboard-like operation panel. Data kept flowing on the huge light screen. Su Xin couldn't understand it at all, but she still stared at the Purifier.
The symbols and order of the subordinates.
The Purifier completed the input very quickly. In about half a minute, she adjusted all the data and opened a light blue curtain between the two vertically placed metal poles.
"Alright." The Purifier retracted the light screen on the instrument and pointed to the light screen that was constantly refreshing like a waterfall. "I've already positioned myself. Just walk in."
Su Xin was a little unhappy, but little Zeppelin had already let go of her hand.
The little girl took two steps with her bag on her back and gave a not-so-perfect smile, "Well... I'll go back first then?"
The Purifier said, "Wait a minute, you can't take the things here back. You have to leave the plastic bag and the bag here."
Little Zeppelin was stunned, and lowered his head to look at the cat-head-shaped cross-body bag and the old iron pot wrapped in a plastic bag. He was silent for a while before waving his hand to call Su Xin over.
She handed the messenger bag and the pot to Su Xin, "Well...if we don't have to fight anymore, I'll leave home and come play with you again."
"If I can't find you at that time, you have to come to me on your own initiative." Little Zeppelin raised his head slightly and looked at Su Xin, "Is it an appointment? Um... If you are still fighting, then you don't have to come."
Su Xin pursed her lips and nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave first. Remember the agreement, okay? Otherwise I will definitely attack you." Little Zeppelin straightened his clothes, "Goodbye."
Su Xin watched as Little Zeppelin took two steps toward the light curtain, then suddenly turned around and snatched the two things from Su Xin's hand at an extremely fast speed before the careless Purifier could react. Then he pounced into the light curtain and disappeared.
Lost in place.
"Ah!" The Purifier was stunned, but after thinking it over carefully, he was relieved. "Forget it, just take it. It won't have any impact anyway... Oh, by the way, my snacks!"
Su Xin looked at the Purifier rushing towards her, then took one last look at the slowly disappearing blue light curtain and sighed.
Little Zeppelin went back after all.
ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
Chapter 279 Xiao and Spey
Little Zeppelin left and returned to the home she had been longing for, while Su Xin and her group would not be long in returning to Hong Kong, as this summer event would end in late August.
When Su Xin and Tian Cheng returned to the room, Ruyue looked behind the commander with a little hope, but when she found no one there, she shrank back.
Although little Zeppelin's origins are mysterious, the time he spent with everyone in the port area was real. Now that there is suddenly one person missing, everyone feels a little depressed.
But life certainly can't stay in the same place forever, it's just that the ship girls still need some time to adjust, so the Siren ships on the sea suffered.
It was already miserable for them to be sent by their superiors to serve as a supply ship and deliver lives, but for some reason, those ship girls suddenly started to harvest very efficiently, causing them to be short of manpower.
After the boss Purifier learned about it, not only did he not cancel the plan, but he dispatched more Siren ships to serve as supply ships, which continuously delivered the Rubik's Cubes to the ship girls.
Good fellow, you are blatantly aiding the enemy, right?
But unfortunately, these Siren ships have no intelligence and can only be regarded as fully automatic ship models at best. The executors with real IQ are blocking the Purifiers and demanding snacks.
So the ship girls collected a lot of Rubik's Cubes and prepared to take them back to let the little commander absorb them fully, so as to develop more abilities and become stronger.
By the time the event ended in late August, Su Xin's cube inventory had filled up the personal spaces of several ship girls. It would probably take a month or so to finish absorbing all of it.
Everyone gradually accepted the fact that little Zeppelin had left, and they all felt relieved and returned to their previous daily lives.
When Commander Su Xiao returned to the port, it was already the end of August. The hot summer was about to pass, and the pleasant autumn was about to come.
"The total is 32 yuan, I'll give you 4 yuan.
Su Xin scanned the code to pay the bill as instructed, and said thank you politely. Then she pushed open the car door, got out of the taxi, and looked at the port gate that she had not seen for a long time.
As if knowing that they would come back today, the gate of the port area was open. The port area was very quiet, and occasionally one could see little yellow chickens resting on the roadside. A familiar feeling suddenly came over her.
Su Xin turned around and looked at the ship girls who had already arrived, then smiled, "We are home."
The ship girls cheered and, led by Ming Miao, who was particularly worried that something was missing from the store, and Nagashima, who missed the models at home very much, they all headed towards their rooms.
"Everyone looks so happy." Helena stood beside Su Xin and sighed softly, "I guess everyone is missing home."
Su Xin nodded and was about to respond, but her eyes suddenly glanced at a corner of the wall and she felt something strange.
She walked lightly and quietly approached the bulge on the wall which was not obvious from a distance but could be seen when getting closer. Then she reached out her hand and hesitantly poked the large bulge on the wall.
There was a sound of "ouch", and the "wall" was suddenly lifted up. Xiao, who was huddled in the corner against the wall, held her stomach, looked at Su Xin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and complained mutteredly.
"You've discovered my ninjutsu again... Really, I thought I would improve a lot after going to the Northern Alliance..."
Su Xin was stunned, looking at the Sakura Empire ninja wearing a small mask in front of her, she was incredulous: "Xiao? Why are you here?"
"Hmm?" Xiao didn't understand the situation. "I've already told Shokaku that I'll come to the port to wait for you to come back. She also agreed to my request and let me stay here for a while."
"Sister Xianghe?" Su Xin remembered the figure who followed Akagi as soon as he got off the car, and she had a clue in her mind, "She may have forgotten... She has been... quite busy recently."
"Really?" Xiao nodded. "But Commander Su, you really are not panicking at all, even though you have been deceiving us for so long."
Su Xin's body stiffened, remembering that she had been with Xiao for so long as [Ye], but in the end she never told him the truth. Now that Xiao came to her, Su Xin suddenly felt a little panicked.
Xiao looked at Su Xin's nervous expression and felt a little strange. The [Ye] in the past didn't have so many expressions. After not seeing her for so long, it seemed that this little liar Su Xin had changed a lot.
"Ahem... don't be nervous." Xiao adjusted his mask, "I didn't come here to ask for accusations, although I was a little angry after knowing the truth."
"The truth?" Su Xin realized that she had overlooked something. "Then how did you find me here?"
"Hmm? You're famous on the Internet. I saw it, so of course I knew it." Xiao took out her mobile phone and flipped through the posts she had collected on the forum. There were the few pieces of information and videos that she had made public.
"By the way." Xiao turned off the phone screen and calmly said another piece of heavy news, "It seems that Harman and the others have already known about it. They sent a message to me before, scolding you for a long time."
Su Xin thought about the arrogant cat lady, and realized that Yorktown was now the boss of Harman, so she felt relieved: "Ah... she probably can't come over..."
"Yes, because she said that her boss told her that she had signed a long-term contract and that if she left easily, she would have to pay compensation." Xiao pondered for a moment, "It was said that she had to hand over her work before she could leave."
Su Xin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this and felt at ease silently.
After all, with the popularity of the coffee shop in York City, if four or five more people are not found to take over the positions, Harman and the other two will definitely be too busy to handle the job after they leave.
As for when to find new employees? That depends on the boss's mood.
Su Xin followed Xiao and saw her walking along the path with a familiar look, so she asked her, "Are you planning to play for a while this time?"
"Hmm? No." Xiao didn't even turn around, and continued as a matter of course: "I have found a sister, and I plan to stay with her at your place."
"Ah... So what you mean is...?"
Xiao turned around in front and answered with a serious face: "I am Xiao, the ninja who drives away all darkness. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future, Commander."
Su Xin said "Oh" twice like a goose, thought for a while and asked her again: "Is it just you and your sister? Where did Si Pei go later?"
"Hmm? Of course she's here too. How could I have found my way here without her... She's right behind you, isn't she?"
Su Xin was stunned and turned around to see two mechanical sharks that looked like small dogs running towards her happily, and a girl wearing huge and ferocious mechanical claws, standing not far away and staring at her.
