The sounds of burning and exploding kept ringing in my ears, and the shouts and cries of the other ship girls as they fled for their lives gradually faded into the distance.
"...Is anyone else here?!"
"...Is anyone injured and in need of help?"
"...Shout for help if you need it!"
Urgent and frightened cries rang out not far from the ship girl.
A flicker of relief flashed in the battleship girl's eyes. She opened her mouth, about to shout, but suddenly realized that she didn't even have the strength to vibrate her vocal cords.
Take me with you! I want to go too!
And I!
The battleship girl gasped for breath, hoping to make a sound.
However, the only response the battleship girl received was the sound of hurried footsteps receding into the distance.
The battleship girl was breathing rapidly, tears streaming down her face.
Me too! Me too!
I haven't left yet!!!
I can't make a sound! Please listen! I'm trying to make a sound! Please listen!
Help me!!!
The battleship strained to shout, but only a faint sound came out of its throat, instantly drowned out by the sound of the flames burning beside it.
The footsteps disappeared completely at the edge of the sea of fire.
The battleship girl closed her tear-filled eyes, shaking her head in anguish and confusion. Her emotions were so intense that she could hardly breathe, and she could only stare silently at the sky.
Why...why! Why!
Why didn't you save me! Why?!
Help me! Come back and save me! Find me!!
Where are my seniors? Where are they?
Didn't you promise to protect me?
Accompanied by the burning pain in her arm, the battleship girl struggled incessantly, crying silently and desperately.
After a while, the burning pain in her arm seemed to wake her up again, and the battleship girl gradually calmed down after suffering for a while.
She turned her eyes and looked at the flames beside her that were constantly scorching her body.
The orange-yellow flames swirled and twisted in mid-air, their tongues flickering and spitting out, resembling a coiled snake.
It's all because of you...
all because of you!
I……
me……
How could I possibly lose to you?!
The more you try to get in my way, the more I will live!
Even if I can't make a sound, I will live on!
A fierce glint appeared in the battleship girl's eyes, and she opened her mouth and bit her lip hard.
As a sweet, slightly fishy taste spread in her mouth, the ship girl took a breath, and suddenly, a burst of strength appeared from somewhere, causing her to flip over and pull her arm out of the fire.
There was a snap.
The battleship girl flipped over and slammed onto the water, making a sound that was neither too loud nor too soft.
The excruciating burning sensation receded from my arm like a receding tide.
The pressure on the battleship girl eased, and she immediately revealed a victorious, weary smile.
Just then, seemingly attracted by the sound of the battleship girl turning over, a series of monotonous and heavy footsteps sounded around the battleship girl, gradually approaching her.
Did someone hear what was happening on my end and come to my rescue?
The battleship girl's eyes had just begun to light up when she saw the figure walking through the curtain of fire and suddenly stopped.
Several expressionless abyssal deans parted the curtain of fire and walked towards the battleship girls.
They lowered their heads and quickly found the battleship girl who was still conscious.
The battleship girl stared blankly at the deep-sea deans who had found her amidst the flames.
Flames burned around the ship's rigging of the Abyssal Deans, like orange-red tattoos, turning their gray-white rigging into a violent and brutal color.
The deep-sea deans walked step by step toward the battleship girl, ignoring her increasingly rapid breathing, and surrounded her.
This is... Dean Shenhai...
And it's not just one...
I……
The battleship girl stared blankly at the deep-sea deans standing beside her, heads bowed, gazing at her emotionlessly.
The abyssal deans observed the battleship girls for a few seconds, then raised their ship rigging.
The cannon barrel burned with orange flames, and with each puff, the light gradually brightened.
What will become of the ship girls who fall into the hands of the Deep Sea Dean?
You will be dragged to the deep seabed, far away from your teammates, and when the damage protection is activated, you will be treated like a punching bag and tortured.
You will suffer all kinds of attacks, and your mind will destroy your body before your body does.
Until the damage protection ends...
Alternatively, you can voluntarily end the damage protection and choose a clean and decisive end.
I'm really... finished.
The battleship girl closed her eyes in despair and fearfully sank her face into the sea.
The sound of cannons blaring in my ears seemed like it would start any second.
Right now.
With a loud bang.
Just before the Deep Sea Deans fired their cannons, the seawater beneath the battleship girls suddenly erupted as if by explosion, sending transparent water droplets soaring high into the air. Amidst a burst of intense cold, the water crystals transformed into transparent ice crystals, pushing the Deep Sea Deans and their ship equipment several meters away.
With three loud booms, the cannons that had been propelled into the sky by the Deep Sea Deans began to fire at the sky a step later.
With her eyes closed, the battleship girl felt herself being lifted up by another pair of gentle little hands and nestled into a cool, soft embrace.
The battleship girl opened her eyes curiously.
She had just caught a glimpse of a delicate, snow-white neck and two thick, jet-black strands of hair when her eyes were suddenly covered by a small, icy hand.
"do not look."
A soft, gentle voice, like clear spring water, flowed into the ship girl's heart, giving her an unparalleled sense of security.
in the dark.
The battleship girl felt inexplicably at peace.
The huge object crashed into the water with a loud thud.
A series of loud, booming sounds, like muffled cracks, echoed around me, penetrating the thick walls of the room.
The creaking sound of the cannon barrel extending and retracting echoed for a long time.
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzz"
A strange sound suddenly rang out after that.
After.
The sea breeze whipped up a sea of fire.
The sea trembled.
Amidst the howling wind, even with their eyes covered, the battleship girl felt an incredibly dazzling point of light appear in the darkness.
The light shone brightly for a very, very long time.
As the battleship girl watched, she gradually felt a wave of relaxation and exhaustion wash over her. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she drifted off to sleep.
----ah.
—Am I safe?
—I'm safe now…
The light in the darkness gradually faded.
The battleship girl's consciousness also subsided.
I don’t know how long it took.
As the feeling of fatigue gradually subsides.
Consciousness and memories gradually returned to the battleship girl's body.
"what!"
The battleship girl cried out in surprise, opened her eyes, and sat up abruptly.
The battleship girl who had just woken up quickly looked around.
She was still in the same sea area.
However, the sea was different after the battleship girl woke up. The raging flames had been extinguished, and there was no one on the sea. All the battleship girl could see around her was the sea with traces of flames.
The sea was a scene of utter devastation, littered with charred remains of ship equipment.
With a "crack".
Above the battleship girl's head, a rapid repair device completed its mission, split in two, and fell beside her into the water.
The battleship girl lowered her head and tried to move her body.
Although his clothes were still tattered, his body had recovered to its peak condition.
The battleship girl climbed out of the sea with a bewildered look on her face.
The sea breeze, carrying a strong smell of burning, blew the ship girl's long hair wildly.
"Huh? That person..."
"Where are the others...?"
The battleship girl turned around somewhat bewildered, subconsciously looking towards the direction of the beach, only to suddenly discover that many well-equipped and luxurious ship girls had emerged from the sea on that side.
The ship girls rushed towards the battleship ship girls amidst a gust of wind. In the ship girl formation, a light cruiser ship girl gazed at the scene from afar. Only after spotting the battleship ship girls did she raise her hand in tears of joy and wave frantically at them.
“…Senior…” The battleship girl stared blankly as an entire fleet of ship girls approached her with a rumbling sound.
The light cruiser girl rushed towards the battleship girl while crying, and hugged the battleship girl who was still unaware of what had happened.
"Waaaaah, I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry! I'm back! I'm back to save you! I'm so glad you're alright!"
"Ah... I... I survived..."
The battleship girl looked at the fleet of ship girls in front of her with some confusion.
The ship girl fleet arrived at the charred, infernal ruins. They moved cautiously through the ruins, searching for traces of the enemy.
"Waaaaah, I thought I might never see you again, waaaaahh ...
"...Senior, I'm fine..." the battleship girl murmured, as if in a dream.
Oh.
It seems I'm truly saved...
Who saved me?
The battleship girl felt empty and confused, but at that moment she suddenly felt that the people around her were looking at her strangely.
