The longbow was about one person tall when erected, and the bowstring was extremely thin, but extremely sharp. It was definitely enough to at least scrape the wet mud on the wall of the cave.
Su Xin was afraid that little Helena's face would be covered with mud and dirt, so she thought about it and decided to let her go to the sea to fry some fish.
After all, we don’t know how long it will take to return from this [cross-border] trip. If we only rely on the food in Little Helena’s space, four mouths might go hungry. It is safer to collect materials on site.
The two "culprits" were lying dead on the ground, and there seemed to be no large beasts around. Little Helena hesitated for only a moment, then went out to sea to fry fish with concern.
Su Xin waited for a while, and only stopped and walked out of the cave after hearing a dull explosion.
"Hmm? What's the matter? Do you want to help me clean the wound?"
The observers were overjoyed, but the solidified blood stains stuck to his clothes, which was really disgusting. His hair was full of grass leaves, and he smelled of mud all over, which damaged his image.
Unfortunately, Su Xin had no such intention at all. While the observer was unable to move or turn his head, she quickly leaned over and pinched open Enterprise's mouth with her hands.
The dull metal sheet was clean and stuck on the tongue. I guess the therapeutic effect should be zero.
Su Xin casually wiped her muddy fingers on [Enterprise]'s clothes, then reached into the other's mouth, retrieved the small wrench, and stuffed it into her pocket to recharge it when she finished cleaning up and rested.
"Hey, you must have given her something delicious to eat, right? Give me some too."
Su Xin stood up after hearing this, tilted her head and looked at the observer whose eyes were rolling around, "Well... why should I give it to you? You are a Siren, right?"
The observers agreed. Although the "Black Shadow" in the test site is currently the primary enemy, the Siren is still a villain in the eyes of most humans.
Playing the emotional card is absolutely useless. After much thought, the observer decided to poach customers by relying on his own charm.
"Um...sister, what's your name? Can you tell me...?"
Su Xin looked at her twice, raised her eyebrows and asked in doubt: "You... should be several hundred years older than me, maybe even more?"
"Ah... How is this possible? She's only 18 years old. Look at her waist and legs. How can she be hundreds of years old..."
As the observer said this, he wanted to twist his body a few times to show his charm, but unfortunately he couldn't move. Only his eyes moved around diligently, which looked quite playful. Unfortunately, Su Xin didn't buy it.
"...My breasts are bigger than yours, and my legs are longer than yours, so why should I look at yours? Even if I want to touch them, I should touch my own, right?"
The observer was stunned when he heard this, "I, I don't think I have ever had my breasts lifted...?"
"Yes, but it's true that my breasts are bigger than yours, right? What's wrong with me mentioning it?" Su Xin smiled in a good mood and said, "You'd better lie down obediently, otherwise... I will use the mud in the cave to apply a mask on you to prevent wrinkles~"
Observer: "(⊙`H'⊙)"
After leaving the Siren ship that was as angry as a pufferfish, Su Xin was motivated. She lay on the ground with the help of the observer and started to repair it very quickly. Finally, she made the cave more comfortable before little Helena came back.
The scraped soil fell all over the ground. She didn't have the heart to sweep it carefully, so she simply piled it up. Then her mysophobia kicked in and she started cleaning herself.
It was raining heavily when she came here last time, and she could rely on the precipitation to take a bath, but looking at the weather now, she probably can only rely on the sun to dry herself off and rub off the wet mud.
"...Ah, by the way, I dug out fresh water from the island before, so... I should have some now, right?"
Su Xin didn't think about exploring the island by herself. After all, little Helena has always felt insecure. If she really disappeared without saying hello, who knows how long it would take to coax her.
Therefore, Su Xin, who had nothing to do, simply lay down next to the observer and temporarily released her ship girl status. This allowed her to recover her overdrawn body as much as possible and chat with the other party to divert her attention so that she wouldn't always think about taking a bath.
"So what did she take from you? I heard you say... 'eggs'?"
"Well... I can't tell you. Knowing too much is actually not good for you. Instead of being curious, you might as well find out if you have lost anything."
When Su Xin heard this, she remembered the situation when she first [crossed the border]. Indeed, she didn't know whether she was affected this time and what the impact was.
"I'm not exaggerating." The observer said seriously, "I'm very curious about you. I don't want you to die before I solve the mystery. Traveling through time and space is incredible to humans."
"If you succeeded, it's because you were lucky. Some people died right after they came out. Based on past observation data, the mortality rate is about 50%, the remaining 30% is negative impact, and the positive and no impact each account for the remaining 10%."
"You didn't die right away, which either means it's the safe 20% chance, or you lost something that wouldn't kill you immediately, like... luck? Immunity?"
Su Xin actually felt that it was okay. Being weak was just a side effect of becoming a KanColle, and other than that... there didn't seem to be anything strange.
But before she could answer, she heard little Helena's voice, "...Drink? No, no way...? Sister? Are you, are you really okay?"
The observer took the opportunity to call the panicked little Helena over, "I am more familiar with perception than you are. I can tell whether your sister is lying or not. Help me up. I want to watch her."
Su Xin had no choice but to turn on the status again to show that she was fine, but the panicked little guy would not believe it easily and hurriedly dragged the observer to sit in front of the tree trunk.
Facing the little Helena with her rabbit eyes blinking and the sharp-eyed observer, Su Xin did not dare to try to lie casually.
If the lie was discovered, she didn't know how long it would take to regain the little guy's trust, so Su Xin could only tell the truth.
"Nothing, maybe... I won't feel scared anymore?"
Chapter 696 Dalang, you are awake
Su Xin couldn't guess whether the observer's "lie detector" function was real or fake, but judging from the look of it, he should have agreed with what she said.
[Fear] is a psychological state that can make people feel afraid and stay away from certain things. It plays a certain role in protecting oneself and avoiding danger.
But Su Xin is not a child who knows nothing. When encountering a situation, of course she will run away at the first opportunity(?). If it is lost, it is lost. In a sense, it is even a good thing.
With her rich experience in coaxing children, Su Xin turned the lack of emotions into advantages, which made the tearful little Helena cheer up again.
"Okay, let me see what fish you caught."
Little Helena wiped away her tears embarrassedly and took out a dead fish with an ugly appearance from the space. "Yes, there are many, most of them are like this..."
Su Xin was very familiar with this fish. She was very scared at first and hesitated for a long time before deciding to take it back as food. Later she found that the taste was actually quite good.
However, this time the little chef is present, so she, a culinary genius, doesn't need to be in charge of the food. I guess we can look forward to it.
"Well... let's go see if there's any firewood nearby. We can get some to light a fire and grill the fish."
"okay!"
The observer who was leaning against the tree trunk and watching the sisters' affection suddenly became uneasy, "Hey! Don't, don't leave me, what should I do if she suddenly gets sick?"
Su Xin's metal piece has not been charged yet, so it is indeed a idle period now, but if she plans to bring the observer with her, either she will carry him on her back or little Helena will drag him.
It is impossible to carry someone on her back. She is still weak now, so it is best for her not to exercise. If she really wants to carry someone up the mountain, she will definitely be the third person to be found dead afterwards.
"...No, it's not convenient for us to take you with us." Su Xin thought it through and decisively refused.
The observer was panicking. "No, what if she pokes me with something again? I don't want to die... You, you can let the little guy drag me away..."
Su Xin glanced at little Helena who was doing physical work, and found that she was looking into the distance with her mouth wide open, clearly showing an attitude of resistance as if to say "I can't hear you, I can't hear you".
The observer was obviously very understanding. "Yin, little friend, come here, come here."
"...what?"
"Come here, I want to discuss something with you. Can I still hit you even though I'm in this state? Come here quickly."
Little Helena pouted, moved closer reluctantly, and then followed the observer's instructions with great disgust, but her eyes widened after hearing just two words.
"...How about it? Are you willing to take me with you?"
The originally reluctant little cruiser hesitated for a moment, then ran to Su Xin and said, "Sister, how about... taking her with you?"
"Hmm? Why do we need to pay attention all of a sudden?"
Little Helena paused for a few breaths and said seriously: "...she is still useful!"
Knowing that the subtext of this was that she had no intention of explaining, Su Xin smiled helplessly and agreed with her, "Then I'll leave her to you."
"...good!"
"...I say, kid, can't you just take a flatter road?"
Little Helena pulled back her feet that had been pushing stones behind her and muttered softly, "Climbing, climbing mountains is never a smooth path..."
The observer thought so too, and stopped complaining. Instead, he started poaching, "Hey, human, how did you get to know that guy and become his girlfriend?"
Before Su Xin could speak, little Helena angrily retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, my sister is not dating her!"
"Eh? Not that kind of relationship? Then I saw that she was very determined to protect you, and she also took my 'balls' for you, right? What are you going to do with them?"
Little Helena didn't know the answer to this question, so she just shut up and handed the topic back to Su Xin.
In fact, Su Xin didn't understand this matter either. She just gave the [Enterprise] a task target to make a deal. As for the process, she had no idea.
And if "octopus eggs" are necessary for the transcription device, then where did the one in the Purifier Base come from? Could it be that...
Seeing that Su Xin was silent, the observer thought there was room for negotiation, so he hurriedly suggested: "I can give you whatever she promised you, but can you... return it to me?"
"...Can you really lay eggs?" Su Xin became a little curious.
Unfortunately, the observer, who was meeting this strange human for the first time, failed to notice it and proudly admitted, "Of course, although it is different from what you understand, I can lay eggs~"
Su Xin, who was walking in front, was startled when she heard this. She turned her head and glanced at the observer with a slightly enthusiastic look. She also looked at the other person's extremely short shorts, curious whether there was a mouthpart with teeth underneath.
The observer, who was lying on the ground and could only look up at the sky, felt a chill all over his body. "Uh... Although, although I don't know what you are thinking, I swear, it is definitely not what you think."
Well, as a good citizen, it is indeed disgraceful to pull down someone's pants in front of children in broad daylight. Su Xin would definitely not do such a thing.
So she glanced at the strange place with great regret, and then continued to lead the way. The observer was also interrupted by the ominous premonition and his idea of poaching was interrupted, and he dared not speak again.
The purpose of Su Xin leading people to explore the island was, first, to find dry firewood for making a fire, and second, to see if there was any fresh water resource. If there was none, they could dig a pit earlier so that the water could settle and become clear earlier.
Fortunately, there was fresh water here many years ago. After walking for more than five minutes, they saw a pond not far away.
The pond is quite large and has a certain depth. It is estimated that the accumulated rainfall over the years has gathered in the pit, forming such a good place.
There are fish and grass in the pond, and the water is clear and you can see the bottom. It is obvious that a benign ecosystem has been formed. There should be no problem drinking it after boiling it.
Su Xin was all dirty, but for her, taking a bath in the wild in broad daylight was a bit beyond her plan, so she had no choice but to wait until night.
She asked little Helena to get some water, and then she set out again, picking up firewood and some wild fruits and vegetables, plus the fried fish, which should be enough for them to eat for a while.
Little Helena inherited the fine tradition of her sister Helena in the port area and liked to stock up on things in her own space. Although she didn't have a pot, she did bring bowls, ladles and basins.
Su Xin didn't have to worry about where to find a container to cook. She could just use the metal basin she usually used for soup as a small pot.
The three of them returned with a full load.
After returning to the cave, Su Xin borrowed little Helena's ammunition to make a fire, then moved the two into the cave. She then leaned against the wall to release her status and rested while acting as a human recipe.
She was thirsty and hungry, so she asked little Helena to help her cook fish soup. The fish were dead anyway, so it wasn't difficult to gut and scale them, and they were put into the pot in no time.
The fish that was put into the water without being fried had a lighter soup color, but it still had a nice aroma. At least the sound of a paralyzed Siren swallowing saliva was quite obvious.
Su Xin was about to laugh when she noticed that the unconscious body next to her suddenly moved. A pair of dim purple eyes looked at her, and a hoarse female voice sounded softly.
"...Sorry, and...thank you..."
Chapter 697 Some Details
In fact, as a [Wrench-shaped META Energy Suppressor] with a special appearance and powerful functions, it even has a [Hull Repair DLC].
The existence of the metal piece has become a symbol in a sense, it symbolizes [unknown strange human beings].
This female human is not only extremely powerful, but also incredibly smart, as if she knows everything. She also possesses magical objects whose mechanisms cannot be understood by the two major camps.
As a member of [Ambers], the strength of [Enterprise] is unquestionable. In terms of scientific research, it may not be as good as the members of [Siren Experimental Agency] present, but it will definitely not be too bad.
On the first day she held the metal piece in her hand, she went through the passage and brought it to her own base, but after studying it, she found nothing.
Afterwards, she returned to the world where humans lived, but she chose an earlier time point. However, after hacking into the population network of this world, she failed to find any existence that met the characteristics.
The courtyard was previously occupied by an old man who took in many young children, both humans and shipgirls. The expenses were extremely high and there was a time when they could not afford to eat.
[Enterprise] watched from the sidelines for a long time, and finally stepped in to give a lot of oil, which extended the life of this big family for a while, until the old man passed away.
There are actually many such people in every world. Enterprises are not leisurely philanthropists. They have their own things to do, so naturally they cannot always focus on this.
She has to leave the world to collect materials elsewhere, and face attacks from the insane [Black Shadow], or the stubborn [Arbitration Body] who always wants to fight her.
The spatial disturbances that caused the destruction of her world also brought many unidentified beings with extraordinary abilities that she would need to deal with.
When she returned, the courtyard was empty. The items inside had been rummaged through by the exiles, and only useless items were left.
[Enterprise] carries too much on her shoulders. She has long been accustomed to this kind of scene. It cannot stir her heartstrings. At most, it just makes her sigh.
The main purpose of coming this time is to find out the identity of that woman, and the rest is just going with the flow.
She stayed on top of a distant building, checking the timeline to see what was going on. Finally, one day a few years later, she discovered that a person suddenly appeared outside the courtyard.
"...It's her."
[Enterprise] He looked at the small wrench in his hand, cheered himself up, and looked from afar at the strange guy who was standing outside the yard with his head down and in a daze.
She watched the other person suddenly appear, go into the house to explore, foolishly rub two sticks together to make fire, meet Wen Yue, get to know other people, and live a leisurely life.
Until the day it snowed, she was suddenly excluded from the world, which meant that her wounded self in the past also entered this world.
"...There is no sign of a passage, nor any sense of spatial disturbance. She is indeed... very special."
