Dedicated to the Book of Cabot

: Decisive Battle in the Arctic Ocean 01

This day has finally arrived.

The sky over the sea was covered with dark clouds, as if thunder and lightning would fall in the next second, tearing the sea surface into several pieces.

Chi Yuan knew that it would not rain now, and the source of this vision was that woman.

β-type deep sea director——Black Yamato.

U-aa4802 always misses, but the time is today.

She sighed indistinctly, then turned her head to look at the girl beside her.

Hokkaido was wearing his completely inappropriate architecture, standing beside her holding a shield.

She looks very nervous. Although it is not the first time she has been on the battlefield, Hokkaido has no confidence in herself. Her current task is to escort Chiyuan.

There is no one in the temporary base. Everyone in the fourth unit is dispatched. Everyone knows that this should be the last battle.

“Chiyuan, after this battle, will someone come to take us home?” Hokkaido asked.

“I don’t know.” Chi Yuan replied, “Will no one come? No matter who it is, they probably won’t come again.”

“…Where’s Cabot? Do you want her to come?”

Hokkaido raised her head. She took off her goggles and looked at Chiyuan, only to find that the latter was looking up at the drowsy sky.

Hearing Hokkaido’s inquiry, Chi Yuan moved her electronic eyes. After glancing at Hokkaido from the corner of her eye, she turned her gaze to the distance again.

“I hope she thinks I’m dead after I leave school.”

“Why! All you did here was to reunite with her!” Hokkaido’s eyes widened.

She was a little flustered. What Chi Yuan said now was completely different from what she thought before. She wasn’t sure if the deep sea side had affected her, Hokkaido was afraid that Chikite would go astray.

“Hokkaido, what do you think I look like now?”

Hokkaido raised his head and began to look at Chiyuan.

The current Chi Yuan has completely lost her student temperament. She wears the military cap left over from the Yellow Sea, and the cloak that was blackened by the flames of war in Fenghuo Forest.

Her beautiful long red hair has fallen to her waist, and her military uniform has also become dark black due to the change of ship outfit. Hokkaido never saw the bright stars in her eyes again.

The Chi Yuan who comforted and protected herself when she was lost may have already died with the departure of her comrades in arms one by one.

Chi Yuan didn’t want Cabot to see her like this.

The Chiyuan in Cabot’s heart should be that innocent little girl with bad ideas, not the monster who only has revenge left now.

“… Chiyuan, you are like yourself.” Hokkaido could only answer like this.

Such words made Chi Yuan laugh, she smiled softly, and Hokkaido heard the mechanical sound in her throat.

Ah, I forgot, how much of Chiyuan is left, which belongs to human beings? her brain? her heart? her stomach?

Recalling the crippled Chiyuan staggering back, she and Jiu Yuan replaced Chiyuan with new limbs and organs melted and cast from deep-sea ship suits little by little, just to keep her fighting power.

Now she has added two more take-off platforms, Chiyuan—is this thing in front of her a machine or a human being? What is left of her?

“Yeah, how can I be like someone other than me.”

She smiled and lowered her head, stretched out her right hand from the cloak and began to look around: “Every time I open my eyes, there will be fewer comrades around me, and my body will become heavier.”

Hokkaido didn’t want to answer this sentence, but she still chose to chat with Chi Yuan: “The prosthetic limbs cast by the deep-sea ship suit are fine for a single one, but if there are too many, it will cause incoordination.”

“It’s better to say that I… have a problem with the organ prosthetics that can withstand so many deep-sea ship suits.”

Chi Yuan turned her head to look at Hokkaido. Hokkaido felt guilty, but she still raised her head to look at Chi Yuan.

The other party’s electronic eyes turned on the camera, and she stared at Hokkaido. For some reason, she always felt that the other party’s face was a little strange.

“What do you think? Hokkaido?”

“… Chi Yuan, there are some things that are better not known.”

“What does it matter if you know or don’t know something that can be guessed more or less?” Chi Yuan sighed, “But since you’ve already said that, I’ll pretend I can’t guess it.”

The two fell into silence. Hokkaido silently turned on the team’s voice channel, and the voice of the sea breeze turned into electricity and invaded the voice.

Hokkaido stared at the pager in her hand, she was silent for a while, and put the pager near her mouth.

“Good morning, soldiers of the Arctic Ocean Counterattack Team. I am the maintenance ship Hokkaido. Thank you for your companionship over the past year. We have finally reached this point today.”

The sea breeze became stronger and stronger, and there was a sound of wind pressure in the air.

But the voice channelEveryone kept quiet and listened to Hokkaido.

“The airtight device developed by the engineering ship Jiuyuan is already on its way to installation. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, please respect the choice of Jiuyuan.

“In addition, I have to repeat it here.”

She cleared her throat and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

“If someone doesn’t want to die here, go back to the temporary base now. We won’t blame you, everyone has their own choice, you don’t have to die here.

“In the past year or so, we have lost too many partners. From more than 200 people who landed on the island to the current 20-odd people, we are at the end of our rope and have even run out of ammunition.

“But we haven’t lost yet. We still have one last chance.”

There are more and more billowing black clouds in the sky, the sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger, and the waves are stirring up thousands of layers.

Hokkaido frowned, but her voice was very steady, with the firmness of never looking back.

“If you choose to fight, even if there is only one person left in the end, please use your body, your fists, and your teeth to stop Dean Deep Sea.

“Not for human beings, not for the ship’s mother.

“For the comrades who died, and yourself.”

Anger and hatred erupted from the sea, Hokkaido’s words fell, and the soldiers rushed to the center of the storm with roars.

They no longer have tactics, and they don’t have to pull. The absolute strength gap has been infinitely approached. Regardless of life or death, there is only one thing left in their hearts.

Revenge.

Chi Yuan listened to their roars, to the symphony of guns, and to the horns of their comrades charging.

She felt very strange, the world was very strange.

“Let’s charge, it’s time to charge.” She muttered in a low voice, and released the ship suit. The four flying platforms and the solid armor like a roadbed tightly wrapped Chi Yuan.

Countless bombers and fighter jets took off from four flying platforms, and now they only have one target, so they are quite concentrated.

“Sister Huang Hai, Fenghuo Forest, Tianmu, Upstream One, Upstream Three, Upstream Four.”

“Look carefully, that guy’s death.”
