Then, she closed her eyes, and heard the neighing of the sea wind, the deafening explosion, and the ferocious roar of the steel sea beast.

It must have been hit, so, I didn't lose, Z23 thought.

……

Consciousness seemed to circle in the clouds, and Z23 felt as if she was being dragged away by something. Before, she had never imagined the issue of death, but now death caught up with her.

The headache was splitting, and then it was icy cold. After the sinking, the ship's equipment could no longer operate, and no trace of heat was transmitted from the body.

"Am I sunk? Is this what it feels like to be sunk?" Z23 said to himself.

In fact, she is usually a very serious and well-behaved little girl, she has no habit of talking to herself, and the things to do every day are also arranged in an orderly manner. Bismarck taught them how to exert the power of a ship girl. She is the fastest of all. that one.

Unexpectedly, the question he was talking to himself was actually answered.

It was a man's voice, without emotional ups and downs, very calm:

"You didn't. I pulled you out of the sea."

"Don't lie to me." Z23 closed his eyes and whispered, squeezing out the words bit by bit from his pale lips: "I know I'm hallucinating."

The man's voice fell silent, and instead Z23 felt as if he was being prodded, as if examining a wound on his body.

Her sense of touch returned a little.

"You are seriously injured. Where do you live? I will send you back as soon as possible." The man continued.

Eh? Z23 was a little surprised, did he really not sink?

The man seemed to be waiting for her answer, but Z23 kept silent. It took a long time before she could barely open her eyes. This was the first time they met.

The man in front of him looked very young. If he was judged by human standards, his appearance was not impressive, nor was his height.

He was wearing a jacket with a fur collar, and his whole body was soaked. His black hair was wetly stuck to his forehead, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

In fact, Z23 knew that her appearance would be even more embarrassing, but at this moment her heart was completely filled with surprise and uneasiness, and it took a long time before she could squeeze out two words:

"Hello."

"Hello." The young man replied calmly.

Chapter 2 Girl's Heart

"Where are you taking me?" Z23 asked.

She was carried on the back by this young man, who walked between the rugged mountains and forests with one deep foot and one shallow foot, and the long and endless coastline was on her right.

Since the appearance of sea beasts, humans have given up almost all coastal lands, and there are few traces of human activities, except for those ships that trade for money, and pirates who specifically target the former.

Time has long degraded the coastal land. Moss and creepers have grown between uninhabited buildings, and dense forests and shrubs have grown wildly. The place near the sea is an area without modern civilization.

"Your ship suit...is that the name? Your ship suit was severely damaged by the tiger shark's shell. I will take you to find a place to make simple repairs, and then I will send you back."

They did not walk along the seashore, fearing that they would encounter herds of sea beasts migrating along the coastline.

The road was not smooth, but the young man's steps were steady. He would answer whatever Z23 asked, and never spoke other than that.

In fact, Z23 doesn't like humans very much. Rather, he has never had any contact with humans before.

Most of the ship girls will only choose to live near the sea.

At this moment, the surprised part in Z23's heart has disappeared, and the strength of his body is slowly recovering, at least he won't have to use all his strength just to speak.

Instead, endless curiosity.

Bismarck once taught her that human beings have always been fragile creatures, and their individual strength is insignificant. Many years ago, when facing a ship girl with the power of a whole battleship that appeared in the sea, the first thing that came to mind was fear.

Fear, then panic, finally turned into indifference.

But the man showed no signs of fear at all, he was even humming.

"How did you pick me up from the sea." Z23 continued to ask.

"When you were fighting that sea beast, I watched under your feet for a long time."

"Under your feet?"

"Deep water, to be precise. I watched overhead until you got hit by a shell and you started sinking."

"Well, at least I fixed it, one for one."

"You didn't. Your torpedo just hit its tail. The air wave from the explosion almost overturned it, but unfortunately it didn't. So its core area is still intact."

"Oh. Got it."

Z23 felt a little disappointed. She always thought that the torpedo she fired before she was hit also dragged the tiger shark sea beast into hell.

But immediately this loss disappeared without a trace, and she felt a new kind of curiosity.

The man said that he has been observing underwater for a long time, and it is absolutely impossible for humans to do this. Even if it is a ship girl, if she wants to keep moving in the water, she can only do it if she is a submarine.

Sea beasts don’t like to live in deep water either. Although they look similar to mechanical fishes, they actually prefer to live in shallow water and on the surface of the sea. In places that are too deep, a little pressure can kill them. It’s a strange ecology. .

"The sea beast didn't find me, so I surfaced quietly, dragged it to the deep water area by surprise, destroyed its core armor, and then went to the shore where you fished, and this is what happened."

So Z23 stopped talking, and she worked hard to sort out the existing information. It was obvious that things would not be as simple as he said, but it seemed impolite to continue asking.

She has always been a good child, a top student, and this etiquette is still very clear.

The young man didn't intend to continue talking, and the two of them walked towards the distance little by little in silence. Slowly, Z23 couldn't help but put his face on his shoulder.

The warm sun was shining overhead, and the fresh air in the mountains and forests was refreshing, and she felt warm all over her body.

Suddenly, Z23 came to her senses. In the battle just now, the shells not only destroyed her ship suit, but also the clothes she was wearing turned into tattered rags.

The sun lightly brushed the young girl's white skin. Her skin was very white, almost showing a transparent color under the sun, but gradually this transparency was replaced by a blush.

Did he see everything? Z23 thought to himself.

No doubt saw everything.

Z23 is a bit shy, the ship girl always looks like a woman, but the man behind her is the opposite sex.But now, she doesn't even have the strength to struggle.Besides, it was this man who saved her from her sinking fate.

Just to be looked at.

That's all...

In order to hide his shyness, Z23 casually said:

"Why did you save me? Besides, you carry me on your back, aren't you afraid that I will hurt you? You have clearly seen my strength, which is not unusual at all."

As soon as he said it, Z23 himself felt that he was talking nonsense.

The young man was stunned for a while, apparently not understanding the little girlish emotions hidden in it.

"Don't be afraid," he said slowly, "if you try to attack, I'll break your spine before then."

"Oh." It was Z23's turn to be dazed.

"But I don't believe you would do that." The young man continued: "You are called, ship girl, you are not the first ship girl I know. So I thought about it and chose to save you."

"Well, I see." Z23 said softly, and she closed her eyes.

It's just that she herself didn't understand why she felt a little disappointed when she heard this person say "you are not the first ship girl I know".

The young man lit a fire in a clearing in the woods, and the sun was already setting, and the night was dark.

Z23 was lying on the other side of the fire. For dinner, he caught fish from the sea. After roasting, he shaved off the fine spines before delivering it to her mouth.

The girl's strength recovered a lot, and she was able to move her hands freely. After dinner, she shyly covered the tiny buds on her chest.

The mind is very messed up, Z23's mind is very messed up, this is the first time she has carried out a distant mission, and she has come to a seaside that she has never set foot before, and it is the first time that the ship's outfit has been beaten into such a mess.

When the mind is in a mess, I can't help but think about something. For example, when the young man brought the grilled fish wrapped in leaves to her just now, Z23 was still wondering if this man fed her himself.

In the end, he just sent it over.

"Are you cold?" the young man asked, this was the first time he asked Z23 a question.

"A little bit." Z23 tried not to look in his direction.

After a pause, she said: "It's usually not cold. Our ship's mother is very resistant to the environment. I don't care about the high temperature or the cold, but my ship's outfit is broken..."

"Then I will undress."

"Eh?"

Ehhhhh?What's the meaning?

Z23 watched the young man take off his jacket vigilantly. His jacket was a bit old, it was soaked in water and then dried by fire. It was crumpled. It was a man, a girl, why did he want to take off his clothes?

It's a pity that this vigilance only lasted for a few seconds, and Z23's eyes were immediately attracted by the wound on his abdomen.

A piece of shrapnel was embedded in the muscle of his abdomen through the inner shirt, the depth was almost two inches, the wound was bleeding, under the light of the fire, it was flowing continuously, a strange dark red.

Chapter 3 Ignorance and Germination

"The clothes are a bit old, don't dislike them." Zhou Yang said.

He took off the jacket he had been wearing all the time. It was fine, it was completely dry after the fire.

The girl on the opposite side was a little dazed for some reason, and after a long time, a few words came out of her mouth:

"You are hurt."

Zhou Yang didn't answer, walked up to her, and put the clothes on her as a quilt:

"I'll borrow you to wear it first, and I'll find you new clothes in two days, so I'll just wear mine for the time being."

"You're bleeding, the wound is bad, let me see."

It's a pity that the girl is still unwilling to let go, and struggles to get up.

Zhou Yang quickly grabbed her two slender arms, pressed her in place, and prevented her from getting up. The other party struggled twice, as if realizing that he was the most injured person, and stopped moving.

The sound of burning firewood was crackling, and the orange fire light reflected the girl's face flushed.

"Can you let go first?" she asked.

It's true that this action is not elegant, it's a bit like the uncle is trying to misbehave with the little girl, Zhou Yang hummed, let go of his hand, and asked:

"My wound is fine, what's your name?"

"Z23, Jagged Navy Type 1936A destroyer, what about you?"

"My name is Zhou Yang, from Donghuang."

Z23 nodded slightly, indicating that she already knew. Suddenly she seemed to understand something, and raised her eyes with a puzzled expression: "Wait, you can speak German?"

Yes, even she didn't realize that this young man who claimed to be from Donghuang had been talking to her in German since he picked her up.

It was only now that Z23 had calmed down a little bit, and Z[-] came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream, but Zhou Yang didn't answer her question, he walked back to the opposite side of the fire, and began to treat his wound.

It was true that the sea beast was pulled into the water, but before the giant steel shark sank, it fired all the ammunition recklessly, and its body was blown to pieces by itself.

Zhou Yang immediately tried his best to avoid the explosion, but one of the fragments produced by the bomb still hit his abdomen.

With the light of the beating fire, Zhou Yang stretched out his hand and took off the close-fitting clothes. Sure enough, the wound had scabbed over. With a little movement, a small stream of blood would gush out along the muscles in the lower abdomen. keep flowing.

In this way, he carried Z23 on his back, walking from day to night.It's just that he didn't feel any pain during this process, so he only did a little bandaging, using cloth strips torn from his underwear to tie it up.

It's just that as soon as he relaxes now, the feeling of pain gushes out like a tide.It was like a dam filled with water. The moment the gates were opened to release the flood, the momentum was like thunder, and the showers continued.

It's the worst situation, Zhou Yang thought, the muscles in my wound are growing.

Almost all of the sharp shrapnel had gone in, about an inch and a half long, and had "grown" together with his wound.

Zhou Yang took a deep breath, clenched his back molars, closed his eyes, and groped with two fingers to find the part where the shrapnel was slightly exposed.

Even if he just touched him, he gasped in pain. The shrapnel seemed to have taken root in his muscles. This pain was like pulling out a broken back molar, and he hadn't given anesthesia, even if the doctor only slightly Touching it with a knife is enough to make a normal person faint from pain.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang is not a normal person.

He clamped the shrapnel firmly with his fingers, three-two-one, three-two-one... After several repeated attempts, he exerted force suddenly, and the shrapnel was thrown on the ground with a trace of flesh and blood along with the scabbed shell. Blood gushed out like a small fountain and sprinkled on his feet.

The moment the shrapnel was pulled out, the pain felt like a heavy hammer hitting his mind. Zhou Yang closed his mouth, gulping the air in his throat, trying not to make his expression so scary, lest Z23 have a nightmare.

The blood stopped quickly, and there was no foreign body in the wound, and it was recovering at an extremely fast speed.

But this is not enough. There are no anti-inflammatory drugs at hand, so we can only use the most primitive things instead:
