"Don't get so excited. You might not even be able to summon a ship girl. It all depends on luck."

Luo Zhen smiled, then flicked his finger, and the daily ten-pull was completed.

A burst of white light coalesced into a human shape. Luo Zhen squinted, surprised that it actually worked. He wondered which ship girl had come this time.

White light scattered like shattered glass, and a girl with long, straight black hair stood timidly in front of Luo Zhen.

An airplane was perched on her head, her ears were covered by headphones, and her large eyes were curiously scrutinizing Luo Zhen, a half-smile playing on her lips.

Her coat was loose and baggy, her hands were tucked into her sleeves, and the hem of the coat covered her private area, leaving her long, fair legs exposed to the air.

"It's Long Island."

Luo Zhen blinked. He didn't care much about the so-called strength; after all, once he arrived, they would be eternal partners.

Besides, Long Island isn't actually that bad. After all, she's a ship girl, and Luo Zhen can boost Long Island's combat power at any time if he so desires.

"The commander smells so good."

Long Island said with a smile, "It's only our first meeting, but I already have a very high level of goodwill towards you."

"From now on, we will be a community with a shared future."

It was the same old method: she started with shocking words, sounding like some rich young lady spouting nonsense, waiting for something to happen so she could just leave everyone behind and run away.

But Nagashima truly felt the sincerity that Luo Zhen conveyed, and this was absolutely not a lie. Luo Zhen would do anything to defend this relationship.

“Commander, I’m glad you said that, but isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?”

Long Island squinted, her fair and plump legs clamped together, and she began to writhe and squirm.

Such words... are simply too much.

As Luo Zhen said, the ship girls have very pure minds. Apart from Luo Zhen, they have never communicated with other humans. At most, they have some data records in their minds, but that cannot be considered "understanding".

Therefore, Luo Zhen's words can often cause very terrible harm.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. What we want is a lifetime. Even if the universe is destroyed, all matter is destroyed, even if our souls are shattered and not a trace can be found, there is no way to separate us."

Luo Zhen is still attacking; he's aiming to completely crush Long Island in one fell swoop.

"Commander, you're so heavy."

Long Island muttered a series of complaints, then reached up and scratched his head.

Dude, even I find such cheesy words a bit strange, yet you can say them without batting an eye.

But... all of this came from the bottom of my heart. Mei didn't think Mei Yong was busy, Mei didn't think...

Long Island is far from being as calm as it appears on the surface; turbulent waves are already emerging deep within.

"Long Island, entrust the rest of your life to me."

Luo Zhen reached out his hand towards Long Island.

"Such fluent phrases, how many ship girls have you said this to?"

Long Island touched Luo Zhen's hand, which was considered an agreement.

"However, Commander, I'm not exactly a powerful unit. Perhaps you should focus your attention on others."

"Give resources to others as much as possible. I'm just a ghost, so don't worry about me too much."

"This is even better. I can eat snacks and read comics. I like a leisurely life."

Nagashima squinted, adopted a lazy posture, and then hugged Luo Zhen tightly.

On the surface, she pretended to be completely indifferent to Luo Zhen's words, but in reality, she had already fallen completely in love.

She buried her head in Luo Zhen's chest, her face burning hot, which Luo Zhen could also feel.

That's what they say, but Long Island is still quite capable in combat. If it really comes to war, she will definitely not shy away from it. Her statement at this moment is just a casual joke.

"Fighting isn't necessary; I will protect you."

Luo Zhen wrapped his arms around her waist, and her petite body made Luo Zhen tighten his grip considerably.

Long Island rested her chin on Luo Zhen's chest, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek.

Prinz Eugen didn't try to interrupt at all, which was a common tactic of Luo Zhen. It allowed her to delve into the inner world of the ship girls and ensure the smooth progress of their relationship, something she herself had experienced.

These were just simple words, but the relationship between Luo Zhen and Long Island was already incredibly strong.

This means that, through the power of connection, he obtained a further step in understanding the essence of ship girls from Long Island.

Luo Zhen can now summon his own carrier-based aircraft, but this ability is not a significant improvement for him, since he was already able to do so using projection power before.

"Let's keep moving forward and find that survey ship as soon as possible."

Next, they moved forward at full speed. This journey took several days, and they finally reached their destination with great difficulty.

Unfortunately, Luo Zhen hasn't won anything good in the lottery these past few days.

"Commander, I have located the ship."

The planes driven by Long Island had located the exact target and were slowly approaching.

Chapter 30, The Approaching Storm

The research vessel was not very large, and the whole ship looked dilapidated. It was slowly moving forward on the sea surface by relying on the basic power supply system.

Luo Zhen had Long Island arrange for planes to circle around the area on alert, and then she and Prince Eugen personally boarded the ship to check the situation.

There was no one on the ship, not even a corpse or skeleton. They were probably attacked by fishmen and taken into the sea.

Luo Zhen didn't find any useful supplies, but the ship was indeed worth salvaging. As for the various data he collected, Luo Zhen could analyze them now.

"So, shall we go back now? And use my boat to tow the survey vessel?"

Princess Eugen inquired, "This might be the optimal solution. It will be a bit slower, but it will also allow her to spend more time with the Commander."

"Well, let's first pay tribute to the souls of the departed crew members."

Luo Zhen said that even so, he didn't actually bring much with him, since supplies were scarce. He took out a pack of cigarettes, lit three, and that was it.

Then they began their return voyage. Prinz Eugen controlled his fully deployed ship equipment, while Ryougi couldn't wait to start fiddling with the ship's database.

With nothing to do, Long Island sat down next to Luo Zhen, her fair and plump legs swaying gently.

She was humming an anime theme song, and she shifted her little bottom, resting her head on Luo Zhen's shoulder.

"Commander, you look terrible. It seems things aren't looking good."

Long Island's voice was very gentle as she reached out and rubbed Luo Zhen's tense face.

"No matter what difficulties you face, we will be there for you."

As she spoke, she exhaled a sweet and warm breath.

Luo Zhen snapped out of his daze, sighed, and then hugged the petite and adorable ship girl beside him tightly.

Prince Eugen walked in and frowned when he saw the two of them being affectionate.

"Commander, what have you figured out?"

She didn't say much, but simply sat down naturally on the other side of Luo Zhen.

Compared to Long Island, her figure was much fuller; after a series of hugs and embraces, they clung to each other like a ball of cotton candy.

"Data shows that the number of marine mammals in this area is gradually increasing, and it has now reached an alarming number."

"Then there is another rather interesting piece of information, which records that the crew had conducted a diving exploration earlier and obtained important intelligence from a shipwreck."

“The sea monsters are indeed targeting ‘humans.’ They will launch continuous attacks on humans, starting with a small number, but gradually increasing in number, and then launching a tidal wave of attacks.”

Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes. He had actually guessed some of this information, and the sea monster tide was also within his predictions.

After all, they had already encountered a horde of merfolk not long ago.

That sunken ship was probably an escape vessel from some human settlement. Their settlement was attacked by a horde of sea monsters, and after failing to resist, they had no choice but to flee.

Unfortunately, the ship was adrift at sea, far from any village or shop, with pitifully few supplies and a handful of weapons. After being attacked by sea monsters, it was completely destroyed.

"The more we fight against the sea monsters, the stronger their next attack will be. It seems that we have survived the fishman tide, but next time we will have to face the sea monster tide."

Luo Zhen's tone was heavy, but his eyes became increasingly determined.

"Even if we manage to hold out, the next attack will be even stronger. This is a war with no end in sight."

Princess Eugen sighed with emotion. She felt no fear or wavering in Luo Zhen's heart; his spirit was as strong as steel.

"Huh? Then we're in a lot of danger right now. The commander said that the number of sea monsters in this area is gradually increasing, and it's practically a sea monster nest."

“We are right above them now, and they are targeting humanity…”

Long Island was just casually expressing some concerns, but Luo Zhen and Prince Eugen immediately became serious.

"Commander, we need to speed things up and leave. Hmm... it might consume a lot of energy, so you'd better replenish my energy."

Prince Eugen intended to advance at full speed at all costs and leave this area as soon as possible.

If the sea monster tide were to unfold at this moment, they would have to engage in battle on the sea surface, in the enemy's core territory.

Although there are always ways to deal with a fight, it would definitely be very difficult.

The survey ship wasn't very large, and Prinz Eugen towed it at a fairly slow pace. Meanwhile, Rōzō ordered Long Island to release more aircraft to continue reconnoitering the surrounding area.

"Sea monsters live on the seabed. Airplanes can only see so much of them. It would be great if we had submarine ship girls."

Long Island said she didn't seem very enthusiastic about her work and would rather stay in her room reading comics, but this was the commander's order, so of course she had to do her best.

Besides, where are we going to get her comics now?

The base's database does contain some works; she should be able to enjoy them to her heart's content when she gets back. Mei didn't want to think about it... Mei didn't want to think about it...

"Huh? Where did they go?"

Long Island tilted its head slightly. The ships continued to operate, cutting a line in the sea like a sharp blade, while the sound of circling planes was quite noisy.

She crossed her arms and, amidst the series of sounds, caught a discordant note.

It sounded like someone was swallowing something, accompanied by panting and meows that resembled a cat's meow.

Long Island was filled with curiosity, so she carefully began to explore the ship. At the door of a room, the sound became even louder.

"Mmm, Commander, it's delicious."

Prince Eugen's voice came from inside.

Long Island felt the joy emanating from Luo Zhen's side, but a sense of doubt lingered in his heart.

So are they hiding here to sneak in some delicious treats?

Long Island pouted. How could they not include her? The commander was so biased.

Feeling a bit strange, Long Island cautiously pushed open the door, and the slightly muffled sounds inside were completely revealed.

"Is this a weakness? The commander is starting to tremble. He looks very energetic. Is he about to unleash his power? No, you can't."

"Those things need to be injected into this place, so hurry up and put them in."

“This time, I won’t be as pathetic as before. I’m not some nobody. I’m going to turn the Commander into my shape.”

As Long Island listened to this series of conversations, even though she was newly "born" and her whole being was like a blank sheet of paper, she still had some understanding of that kind of thing.

Immediately following was a sticky, wet rubbing sound, and Prince Eugen's voice was like a kitten wagging its tail, begging for food.

"Hmm~"

Luo Zhen may have only moved around a few times, but Prince Eugen let out a loud sound.

"Damn it, I'm not reconciled! Why am I feeling so weak all over? This can't be right, how could I be so weak?"

That was the desperate cry of Prince Eugen, on the verge of collapse.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Interrupted Game

Long Island watched everything unfold before her, a blush lingering on her face. In such a strange and intimate situation, she should have turned and run away.

But for some reason, her smooth and tender legs suddenly went weak, like rubber bands, and she had no strength left. So she could only stand still and continue to watch everything in the room.
