Chapter 484 The storm is coming
"T-Thoroughly sorry."
The captain of the military police in City H looked a little unnatural. "According to the instructions of the branch, this object is an internal secret. Its importance is immeasurable and may be the key to turning the tide of the war in the future."
"In addition, the difference in combat power between the two sides makes it possible for the other side to capture all its people and objects. Therefore, they... cannot accept the conditions given by Siren."
"But our superiors instructed us to go with you as reinforcements on the day of the negotiation to ensure everyone's safety."
The ship girls who had spent three days waiting for a reply from their superiors could not accept this. In their eyes, Su Xin was naturally above all else.
But looking at the look on the captain's face, he seemed to find it difficult to talk about this matter, and the ship girls realized that the decision of the branch really had little to do with the other party.
The gendarmerie captain was also feeling uncomfortable.
She led a team of no more than a dozen people from the bureau to guard H City, a remote and neglected place, for several years, and nothing major happened during that time.
Normally, we just deal with some conflicts among the residents who still stay here. The twice-a-year activity period is busier, as we need to ensure the safety of the destroyer and the health of the commander.
They have developed a more harmonious attitude towards life and believe that life is the most important thing, whether it is someone else's or their own.
But the order issued by the branch was tantamount to sentencing Su, the shipgirls in the port area who went to the negotiation site, and their military police to death. How could she accept this calmly?
"...Is this the answer we have been waiting for three days?" Tiancheng said coldly with his eyes lowered.
The military police captain bit his lip and defended himself with difficulty: "Sorry... This is not something we can decide..."
"If that's the case, you don't have to go." Miss Hood, who was told the truth by Tiancheng, frowned and advised, "The result will not change."
There is no such unknown thing. If the Sirens choose to take action, no matter how many ship girls come, they will not be enough to fight them. Even if the ten or so people from the gendarmerie are added, they will all be killed.
Unexpectedly, the attitude of the military police captain was very firm. "We will go. I...we will not choose to retreat at this time."
"Whether it's an order or an original intention, these...are what we, the military police, are supposed to do."
The ship girls were silent for a moment, nodded solemnly, and set a time with the gendarmerie, agreeing to gather on the island in the early morning two days later and set off together to the coordinates of the negotiation point.
Aoba felt very conflicted.
In fact, the deal with the client had already been reached before she came to this port area as a temporary reporter.
She didn't know the other party's identity, and the content of the transaction was conveyed by Ayanami and Eugen from the military police. But Aoba was not stupid, and of course she guessed that it was the intention of the official high-level officials.
Aoba didn't know why she was asked to go to this port area which had been established for less than two years; she also didn't understand why she was targeted at a girl who was not even an adult.
But the official attitude made her smell something like a "big event". It was obvious that the authoritative agency was more convincing than the commander she had never met before.
Qingye is a reporter. She is very good at undercover digging for information, not to mention the official caution, which makes her feel that Su Xin may be hiding some unspeakable secrets.
In addition, the reward promised by the other party was also big news. Aoba felt it was not a loss no matter how he thought about it, so he agreed to enter the port area as a spy.
Later, the monitoring device that had worked so well was discovered. Naturally, she did not dare to be too ostentatious. She could only collect some information indirectly through roundabout ways and feed it back.
As the time spent living there got longer, Qingye gradually became a little anxious.
She couldn't see what was strange about this female figure. If she had to say something, it would be that she had a expressionless face and was too popular.
Moreover, the atmosphere in Hong Kong is really good. Although there are occasional disputes, they are basically within the scope of jealousy and cannot be called conflicts at all.
"...Is what I'm doing really meaningful?"
"For the sake of a piece of news, is it really necessary to follow their orders and report the little girl's daily life like a stalker?"
Qingye felt very strange, "This official leader...could he be a pervert?"
Now that the little girl has been kidnapped, this man is quick to let go, saying he will ignore it and even assigning the gendarmerie who are completely unaware of the situation to accompany her.
How could Aoba not understand that the purpose of ordering the gendarmerie to go along was to witness with their own eyes how the event unfolded and ended.
As a lone wandering reporter, Aoba knew that she could not change anything, so after careful consideration, she decided to faithfully record everything.
After returning to the gathering place, the ship girls in the port area received attention from many other ship girls.
In their eyes, Commander Su had a very good image. Now that the matter had become so serious, everyone had heard the news and were chattering about wanting to do their part.
"We've heard about it."
The female kitchen god sighed, stood in front of the many unorganized ship girls, and seemed to have made up her mind: "Let us help too."
Amagi was unwilling to involve other people. This was just a game, and it was the official high-ups and the Sirens who should be worrying about it. Su Xin could only be implicated at best, and there was no reason for these ship girls to take risks.
The Purifier told her the general process of the day and guaranteed that the ship girls who came to rescue would not lose their lives, but in order not to affect Su Xin's subsequent development, injuries were inevitable.
If more people come, more people will be injured. This is an unexpected disaster for the unorganized ship girls.
But Tiancheng thought about it and felt that he had no reason to reject everyone's kindness.
More people mean more strength, and everyone knows this. But if you refuse help from others at this time, let alone what the rejected ship girls think, it will be difficult to explain to the official side.
So after much thought, Tiancheng thanked them and agreed on a time with everyone. As for the injury, compensation could only be made later.
Having made up their minds, all the ship girls returned to their rooms to recuperate, and decided to suspend going out to sea for the next two days to prevent any failure at the critical moment.
Tiancheng read the message sent by the Purifier again and again, and always felt that something was wrong.
According to the plan, the original negotiation site will welcome an uninvited guest, and the Siren will have a conflict with him. The aftermath of the battle will cause all the ship girls present except Amagi to lose consciousness.
Later, as long as she insisted that both sides were defeated, she would wake up first and bring back the hostages who were abandoned to end the incident.
This "uninvited guest" is probably related to the "guy" mentioned by the observer before. Even if the upper echelons have some suspicions afterwards, there is no way to confirm it.
The process is very simple. Under the premise that the authorities have already had contact with [that guy], the probability that the other party believes it is also very high. However, as the passive party, Tiancheng always feels unsure.
After thinking about it, she simply called Akagi, Shokaku and Atago to the room, and then gave them careful instructions.
"If a fight breaks out, remember to hide behind me.
Chapter 485: Game 1
The weather today is very bad, the wind is strong and gloomy, and the sea surface is covered with endless small waves, which are constantly shaking and making people feel a little uneasy.
Su Xin has lived in the Siren Base for five days. If nothing unexpected happens, today should be her last day.
The observer only said that he had prepared a big gift for the enemy, but did not explain the specific details, so Su Xin is still not very clear about the subsequent developments until now.
The Purifier got up very early today, with a rosy complexion and a happy expression, as if he was expecting something.
Su Xin asked her, and the Purifier did not hide it: "It was at noon. The octopus left after noon. How could I not be happy~"
This is indeed a good thing for the purifiers who have no dignity. After all, they can regain WIFI freedom and live in their own rooms again. They should be happy.
However, the uncontrollable development of the situation made Su Xin very uneasy. She was unable to empathize with the Purifier and only felt a little depressed.
"Okay..." The Purifier took the little commander's hand and comforted him, "You have to believe in the Purifier's ability. It's okay. It's just some superficial injuries at most. We know what to do."
Su Xin frowned and repeated the question she had asked countless times in the past few days.
"What exactly do you need me to do?"
"No need, you're a hostage, so just tie yourself up with tentacles and wait for your shipgirl to come pick you up."
The Purifier smiled confidently, "I've already told your Amagi, don't worry, there won't be any problems."
Su Xin nodded and asked her again: "Is there no way to solve the problem of lack of expression?"
"Well... there's really nothing we can do." The Purifier seemed to feel guilty for not being able to help his friend.
"In fact, our experimental department staff are not very proficient in [cross-border], but those in the arbitration department know more about it."
"They often track their targets through [cross-border] means, so they have a better grasp of the internal rules than we do.
"As for the others... that guy should be okay, right? After all, it should be said that his abilities are indeed top-notch, but they are not something you can get in touch with right now, so..."
The Purifier sighed, "I'm sorry, Master Purifier can't help..."
Su Xin was confused by what he said, but she understood the main idea of the words, so she didn't argue any more. She shook her head to indicate that it was okay and stopped talking.
After a simple breakfast, Su Xin waved and greeted countless executors who also got up early, then followed the Observer and the Purifier and stepped onto the rough sea.
The coordinates were some distance from the base. Although they could be teleported directly, neither of them suggested this method, either out of consideration for Su Xin's feelings or because they just wanted to take a walk.
The wind was strong at sea, and the clouds seemed to be lower, making the surroundings darker, just like Commander Su Xiao's mood.
The observer was very happy, with a smile on her face. Her pure black dress fluttered in the air flow, revealing her flat belly and bare legs.
"That Yubari from your family is quite powerful." She tugged at the collar of the suit with her tentacles without any hesitation, "It seems to be very warm."
Su Xin raised her hand and snapped the tentacles open, then straightened her scarf which was a little loose, earning a sneer from the observer.
"Shout! You're almost the same as a ship girl, but you're still afraid of the cold? How shameful!"
The Purifier couldn't bear to watch her, so he said, "What about you? You wear a skirt to fight, aren't you afraid that the strong wind will blow your underwear away?"
"This is called sexy~ You two don't have big breasts. If you don't learn it well, you can only be the good sisters of your loved ones in the future~"
The Purifier's face darkened, and he didn't intend to continue talking to the eloquent Octopus Girl. Su Xin tried to calm her heartbeat, which had accelerated for no reason, and suppressed her uneasy feelings.
The three of them braved the cold wind and sailed on the sea for several hours, arriving at the agreed location ahead of schedule.
The observer was not seeing the ship girls, which made him a little unconvinced. "Well, I thought you were very important to them, why didn't you come here and wait?"
Su Xin ignored her and just looked around. The visibility was okay, but the wind was strong and the light was not very good. It was clearly half past ten in the morning, but it looked like evening after sunset.
“What to do now?”
The observer summoned the ship suit and sat on it. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his tentacles to tie up Su Xin and hung her in the air not far away, acting as the surface.
"Well...wait for the show to start."
The Purifier was a little worried about Commander Su Xiao's health, but considering the effectiveness of the [suit], he finally put his mind at ease and summoned the ship suit to start meditating.
Su Xin, who was wrapped up and unable to move, felt a little uncomfortable. Although the way the observer let her hang in the air was quite clever and would not make her feel tired, it was indeed not comfortable to be blown by the cold wind.
Fortunately, the ship girls seemed to arrive faster than expected. About half an hour before the agreed time, a large group of people appeared on the sea level.
"Well, there are quite a lot of people coming."
The observer opened a bag of potato chips, picked them up with his tentacles and put them into his mouth, slowly and calmly. Every time he chewed, there was a crisp sound, which somehow reminded people of a giant beast chewing bones.
When the large group led by Amagi arrived in front of her, the observer had just finished eating. He put his tentacles into the sea and stirred them, waving at them with water stains.
"Hi, hello." The observer smiled charmingly, "A little earlier than the agreed time."
She moved her tentacles and gently shook the bound Su Xin, "Look, the little friend you've been thinking about is here, right?"
The ship girls suddenly became anxious and called the name of the little commander. After seeing that the girl in the tentacle seemed to be fine, they glared at the observer.
"Well, don't be so mean. I just want something. Your boss won't give it to me."
"Hmm... 11:30, half an hour early." The observer yawned, "I pay a lot of attention to time..."
"Since it's not time yet, why don't you wait a little longer? Or I can find a way to entertain you?"
After saying this, without waiting for the ship girls to respond, the observer raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. Suddenly, a cannon shot was heard in the distance, instantly hitting a military police officer on the periphery.
"Enemy attack! Disperse first!"
The observers watched with interest as countless ship girls divided into several groups and scattered on the sea. One of the teams consciously turned around and fired in the direction where the shells came from.
The other ship girls who deployed their formations to confront the observers soon received the threat of artillery fire from different points, so they had to put Su Xin aside and turn to deal with the current enemies.
The source of the bombardment seemed to be approaching, and when the ship girls saw the humanoid figure as tall as them, they broke out in a cold sweat.
"Is...the Executor?!"
"Th-all of these?!"
"Scatter! Scatter quickly! Be careful to avoid the barrage of bullets!"
The observer opened the second bag of potato chips and looked at the time again before controlling his tentacles to continue sending food into his mouth. The crisp sound of the potato chips mixed with the continuous sound of gunfire.
"Twenty-seven minutes left, hold on... dear heroes~"
"Click."
Chapter 486: Game 2
The Executioner's firepower was actually demonstrated to the public as early as last winter.
Compared to the Siren ships, they are so small that they are almost impossible to hit accurately, but their armor is even more powerful. Coupled with their high mobility like the Ship Girls, it is difficult for the Ship Girls to effectively attack them.
On top of that, the Executors also have unrivaled firepower coverage. Whether it is a cross-barrage or a splashing firepower, it is not comparable to the skills of the ship girls that need to be comprehended by themselves.
