"Ship guns... MK6... Ke Daddy Cannon... Triumphal Run... Golden Four Magnets..." She recited all the ship girl equipment she knew, but to no avail, so she had to start over from the Eighteen Martial Arts.
When the word "刀·" was read, a small piece of armor appeared on the left side of the waist along with a bright light, with a small slot on it. Just when Su Xin was wondering what this was, the stream of light gathered and wrapped around into a long strip, and finally took shape.
a knife.
The handle is more than ten centimeters long and is simply wrapped in white cloth. The scabbard is pure black and feels like wood with texture.
Su Xin's change attracted the ship girls who had been staring at her for a long time. They rushed over and lifted the quilt off Su Xin without saying a word.
Su Xin was also surprised. She stood up and looked carefully.
The armor slot floats directly on the side of the body. The principle is unknown. It has a metallic texture and a matte finish. The size of the slot is just right for the wooden scabbard. Su Xin held the handle with her right hand and pulled out the knife with a little force.
With a slight hum, the sword was pulled out of the sheath. The blade was silver-white, also matte, and about 40 centimeters long. Su Xin's size did not limit her ability to draw the sword.
Su Xin thought for a moment, then moved the knife under the light projected from the window and examined it carefully. The increased brightness caused Su Xin's pupils to shrink and become narrower, closer to animal pupils. With her expressionless face and transparent, almost golden pupils, she looked
There is an inexplicable majesty.
"This seems to be... Wakizashi." Ming Miao said uncertainly.
Su Xin nodded, confirming Ming Miao's point of view. Judging from the characteristics, it should indeed be a wakizashi.
Su Xin's right hand moved slightly. The knife was very light, and its weight was almost negligible. She came to her senses, faced the curious eyes of the other ship girls, and recalled that she had just posed with the knife. It was quite embarrassing. She quickly pinched the back of the knife and put her hand
The handle was handed to Helena.
The ship girls gathered around another bed to study it. Each of them touched it a few times and found it felt pretty good, not rough or slippery, and it was indeed very light.
"How about trying it to see if it's sharp?" Phoenix was very excited. This kind of thing was always attractive to her who yearned for battle.
Helena didn't quite agree, but no one else had any objections, so she had to hold the knife with both hands and start cutting.
From ordinary paper to fruits, wooden boards, metal plates, and finally, amid Phoenix's cheers of "So cool, so cool", Helena took a knife and easily cut off the ship-mounted gun barrel that Ming Miao had kindly provided.
Su Xin was happy watching them making so much noise, and she was not worried that they would do anything reckless, as her sisters were always more sensible than herself.
She walked to the table and drank a cup of tea. Normally, she could tolerate slightly hot tea, but now it scalded her to tears.
"Ah... Did he inherit the cat tongue as well..." Su Xin put down the cup helplessly and watched them do the "knife review".
After thinking about it, I found another problem, "How do I retract the cat ears..."
It was not until the evening that Su Xin learned the skills of putting away and retracting the ship suit, thus avoiding the fate of having to disguise herself when going out.
Su Xin is now considered half a ship girl. Although she is a close combat, she is still very satisfied. After all...
She looked at the progress bar of the virtual port area.
"Only fifty..."
ps: Didn’t you expect that I used a knife?
Chapter 72 Wu Mu (modified, refresh and read again
Two days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, personnel from various port areas had to set off.
As the front line is a little far away, taking the land route would require a detour due to the terrain. In addition, due to the current martial law, the sea area behind the front line is safer, so the branch decided to take the water route.
The human members take a small ship and are escorted by the ship girls from a large area, which can shorten the travel time by half.
Su Xin stood on the deck with a wide view. The sea breeze hurt her face, and she felt like a blunt knife scratching her skin. However, she didn't feel that on other parts of her body that were wrapped tightly. Su Xin thought about it, unfolded the scarf that was folded in half, and found that it was only meters wide.
After the addition, Su Xin could hide the lower half of her face in the protection of the scarf, and the feeling of cold and pain was much better.
Her own shipgirls were performing escort missions on the distant sea. In fact, with her eyesight, she couldn't see clearly where they were. After all, in order to ensure safety, the defense circle was expanded to a large area, and there were many shipgirls, so they
Like a plastic ball on the water, the stars in the night sky spread out on the sea.
"It's good that we have a shift system." Su Xin thought, "They don't have to keep watch at night and can rest well."
She took her gloved hands out of the pockets of her down jacket, and the damp and hot feeling was swept away, but then the coldness came back like a bone ulcer.
Knitted gloves always have pores, but leather and fleece-lined full-coverage gloves are really stuffy, so Su Xin had no choice but to put them in her pockets over and over again, take them out to blow on them, and then put them in her pockets again.
"Are you enjoying the scenery?" a magnetic male voice sounded.
Su Xin turned her head towards the voice and saw a man wearing a black coat, a sweater underneath, and a dark scarf. He looked very neat, about meters tall, with regular features and a smile that easily attracted attention.
Good impression, the leather shoes are very shiny, no gloves, the hand that is adjusting the scarf is wearing a mechanical watch, which looks expensive.
The man controlled the sense of distance very well, not too close nor too far away, and was in a position that was relatively comfortable and safe for a stranger.
"...very rich." Su Xin came to this conclusion after taking a quick look, but still did not answer the man.
The other party did not feel offended and smiled again, "I remember the lady's last name is... Su?"
Susu is alert—looking up version.
"Ah... am I too abrupt?" The man seemed a little embarrassed, touched the back of his head and apologized with a smile, "I'm so sorry, I was a little worried about my ship girls, so I came up to check on them."
Su Xin hesitated for a moment with a wooden expression, and then responded tentatively.
"Ah."
The man smiled more gently, "My name is Zhao Zijun, hello, can we chat?"
Su Xin looked at him and said nothing.
Zhao Zijun didn't care either. "This is the first time Miss Su has experienced a unified frontline operation, right?"
This topic caught Su Xin's attention. After all, as the other party said, it was her first time participating.
Zhao Zijun continued speaking only after he saw that Su Xin's attention was focused on him.
"I've been there before. This is my second time." He seemed to be reminiscing, looking at the sky in the distance. "When I participated for the first time, I was just like you, Miss. I was quite confused."
"The conditions on the front line were not very good. My shipgirls and I stayed there for a month, and there were battles of varying sizes every day."
"Sometimes there would be sirens attacking at night, and the ship girls would go to the sea to fight. We would also stay behind all night to accompany them and discuss strategies based on the images sent back from the front line."
Zhao Zijun sighed, "It was really hard to think about it... Fortunately, we won at that time, and the ship girls all returned safely."
"I don't know what will happen this time..." He seemed a little worried, but soon he was relieved, "But this time, with Miss Su and the ship girls from Guigang District participating, there will definitely be no problem."
Su Xin frowned slightly, "Are you trying to put a hoodwink on me?"
Seeing that Su Xin still didn't show any reaction, Zhao Zijun paused and asked, "How about Ms. Su and I exchange contact information? If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. It's okay. We can look after each other.
how?"
Su Xin was a little hesitant, mainly because her social circle was ridiculously small. Apart from a few teachers from "Calling the Tide", her only human friend was Fang Yan, which was quite outrageous.
The behavior of the person in front of him met the definition of "picking up", but he really knew nothing about this operation.
"Want to... add more?"
Su Xin put her hand in her pocket and touched her cell phone. The expression of the man opposite her looked much better and he looked at her expectantly. Su Xin hesitated for a while and just as she made up her mind to take out her cell phone, she was interrupted by a female voice.
"Hey... Isn't this Mr. Zhao Jun..." The female voice had a prolonged tone in each word, sounding lazy. Su Xin looked to the other side and saw a woman with big curly hair, who looked to be in her twenties.
She is young, perhaps 170cm tall, but the high heels on her feet really give her face, lifting her to the same height as Zhao Zijun.
Su Xin frowned and looked up at the woman, feeling that she looked familiar.
"Ah... Miss Wu... Long time no see, haha..." Zhao Zijun looked obviously surprised, as if he didn't expect to see the woman named Wu in front of him.
"What do you mean by long time no see? We just met at the party at my house last time, right?" The woman glanced at the expressionless child who was looking up at her, "Why...isn't what we have at home enough?"
Zhao Zijun's expression suddenly turned dark, not looking very good, "Ahahaha... Miss Wu is really good at joking... Do you know this Miss Su?"
"I don't think we know each other, but..." She glanced at the paralyzed boy, "We do have a connection."
"Is that so... In that case, I won't disturb you two from reminiscing about the past. I'll take my leave first." Zhao Zijun wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.
Su Xin didn't care. She searched for her memories in her mind and only just now could she recall it.
"Ah... big sister who wants to borrow money?"
"What do you mean by borrowing money?" The woman in front of her stomped her feet in high heels. The heels were like needles, and Su Xin was a little scared.
"I've already paid it back, okay!"
Su Xin thought for a moment and said, "I still owe you 500 yuan.
The woman waved her hand and said, "I'm your sister, Wu Mu. Here's 500 yuan as a tip for you. Go, go, go."
Su Xin thought for a moment, "Wooden?"
"The WeChat name doesn't represent whether the name is good or not, add three drops of water."
Su Xin nodded to show that she understood, and then stood there looking at the sea without saying a word.
Wu Mu crossed her arms and waited for a while, but the little brat still didn't talk to her. She gently raised her eyelids and saw that the guy was still looking at the sea. She immediately became furious.
"Why don't you speak?"
Su Xin turned to look at her, as if to say, "What are you looking at?"
Wu Mu became even more annoyed, but he didn't know why he was angry, so he could only mutter to himself.
"That Zhao guy is a pervert, he just likes children. He is afraid of breaking the law, so he only dares to attack destroyers. He has been to the police station several times, but he is really good to the wedding ship. His little wife went to the police station to bail her out, but what happened?
Nothing happened and he was released.”
Su Xin thought for a moment, "Sister seems to know a lot?"
Wu Mu coughed dryly, "Emm...Nothing, my father is a policeman, I heard it from others."
Su Xin nodded and didn't ask any more questions, which made Wu Mu, who was standing with his hands on his hips, feel like he was punching cotton.
Wu Mu has a temperament that doesn't quite match her age group. She looks like a child, while Su Xin looks like an elder.
"What's your name, Su?"
"...Su Xin."
"Su Xin, right?" Wu Mu's pretty face turned a little red, as if she was angry, "I helped you! You should at least have an attitude!"
"..."
Su Xin looked at her for a long time, until Wu Mu seemed to be a little discouraged, then she nodded and agreed.
Wu Mu was immediately happy, "Seeing you again is fate, I will protect you as your big sister!"
Wu Mu smiled freely, "But you have to listen to me. If I say east, you can't go west. Now, go and pour me a glass of orange juice~"
Su Xin had no choice but to turn around and get the cup to pour. Wu Mu behind her was in a good mood and even hummed a song.
Then, while drinking cold orange juice, she complained to Su Xin. First, she said that Su Xin was dressed in an old-fashioned way, like a silkworm, and then she complained about Zhao Zijun, who was always causing trouble for the destroyer, but they got married in the end and had a good attitude.
The higher-ups let him go.
"According to the military police, he should have been locked up for at least a year or so. Unfortunately, his dad was awesome and released him."
Su Xin looked at her words which were inconsistent with her exquisite appearance. No matter how she looked at them, it sounded like a naughty little sister complaining to her about the fat boy next door bullying others. Su Xin found this sense of déjà vu quite magical.
The two of them were outside in the wind for most of the day, and when Su Xin's ship girls returned to change shifts, all they saw was Su Xin holding a cup of orange juice and listening helplessly to the chatter on the other side, and Wu Mu complaining incessantly.
"How should I put it..." Phoenix scratched his head, "It's quite funny."
ps: I might be a little bored recently, so Susu will go out for a walk after this battle is over.
Chapter 73 Dinner
At night, the weather was not very good, and the number of ship girls on guard was a little more than during the day, but fortunately, the base number of ship girls was large enough, and Su Xin’s ship girls had already been on duty during the day, so they could have a good rest at night.
The small ship is called small, but it is only relatively small. It is enough to accommodate more than 20 members of the port area, and there is even room to spare.
The rooms of personnel in each port area are arranged in the same area, which is convenient for internal communication within the port area and unified management. The ship girls arrange their commander's room on the central side to ensure the personal safety of their commander.
Su Xin's port area was not big, but she was not at the end of the group of more than 20 people. She was just slightly behind. The last one was a woman in her twenties who looked very casual.
There seem to be only two of her shipgirls, who look like the Queen Destroyer and the Light Cruiser Juno. The commander himself looks quite easygoing. When he saw Su Xin, he smiled and greeted her, and was very familiar with her.
It gets dark very quickly in winter. It is completely dark outside at dinner time, and only the boat is brightly lit.
There is a special dining area on the ship, which is very large, like a large buffet restaurant, but the dishes are not very diverse. After Su Xin received the meal notification from the crew, she took the ship girls to eat.
The restaurant was very lively, with the sounds of the ship girls discussing the latest clothes, the commanders chatting with each other, and the little destroyers playing.
Su Xin's family seemed to be low-key. The two little boats present at home were very quiet. Apart from being sleepy and clingy, they were very well-behaved. Phoenix, on the other hand, seemed very enthusiastic. It was the first time for her to see so many colleagues present. She used her jumping
Looking at Su Xin with an eager expression, after Helena translated it for the commander with zero emotional intelligence, Su Xin nodded and agreed to Phoenix's request to go out and join the chat.
