In the eyes of the ship girls, the exterior of what appeared to be a concrete building constructed by human society was actually a strange city made of reinforced concrete! Beneath this strange city, a large construction site was bustling around the concrete building. On the construction site, countless girls, almost identical in appearance, dressed in uniform work clothes and wearing safety helmets, were working in perfect unison. These girls seemed harmless at first glance, but they all exuded a captivating aura of the deep sea!
They are... the Dean of the Deep Sea!
Hundreds or even thousands...Dean of the Deep Sea?!
Where...where have I been taken...?
No... I must be dreaming...
The ship girl was so frightened that she lost all strength and slowly sat down on the ground. She had completely lost the will to resist or struggle and just stared blankly at the scene in front of her with her mouth agape.
Chapter 4001 White-haired Girl
The awakened ship girl collapsed weakly to the ground. As she stared at the throngs of Abyssal Deans outside the hall, she felt an indescribable, intense sense of despair surge over her like a tidal wave, completely engulfing her.
Dean of the Deep Sea Institute...
Hundreds and thousands of deep-sea deans...
Although deep-sea amphibians are known for their enormous numbers and rapid reproduction rate, which are like wildfires that cannot be extinguished and spring back to life, the deep-sea dean is different from ordinary deep-sea amphibians.
The Deepsea Deans, after all, occupy the very top of the pyramid of the deep-sea life system, holding the most prestigious and powerful positions. In stark contrast to the so-called "common" Deepsea Ships, the Deepsea Deans are exceptionally rare, with new individuals often appearing only once every few decades or centuries. Therefore, even the ship girls in Chapter Eight have mostly never actually witnessed their true forms. Even if they have had some contact, it's mostly just a fleeting glimpse from afar during fleet expeditions.
In Chapter 4002, the naval bases that have experience fighting the Deep Sea Dean in real combat are indeed a very small minority.
At least for now, this awakened ship girl doesn't have this kind of experience. In fact, before this, her understanding of the Deep Sea Dean was limited to written materials...
Although as a ship girl, as long as you live long enough and your naval base develops well enough, you will eventually have to fight against the Deep Sea Commander... I never expected that this day would come in such an absurd and bizarre way.
The awakened ship girl looked at the Abyssal Deans outside the hall and felt a strong sense of powerlessness wash over her. She had no will to fight, and even fear had vanished...
Under the influence of a strange emotion, the awakened ship girl revealed a smile that was even uglier than a cry.
Haha ...
So many deep-sea deans.
I must be dreaming right now...
At this moment, his body was probably being dragged to the depths of the ocean by the deep-sea vessel, his consciousness was in a state of chaos, and his body was forcing his brain to dream in order to maintain normal life, which is why he dreamed of such an outrageous scene...
It must be so.
It must be like this...
So I wasn't rescued after all...
Upon waking up, the ship girl thought of this and, leaning against a concrete pillar, shakily got to her feet.
"So, this must be hell for ship girls..." the awakened ship girl murmured softly, "It really is... When we were alive, we fought against the Abyssal every day. For us, what place in this world could be more worthy of being called hell than a city full of Abyssal deities..."
As if they had completely resigned themselves to their fate, a strange sense of peace enveloped the ship girls' hearts.
The awakened ship girl took a step out of the building, completely exhausted.
The moment the awakened ship girl stepped out of the building, the busy Abyssal Directors in the construction area seemed to instantly sense something amiss. They all stopped what they were doing, and then, like a row of worker ants, uniformly turned their gazes toward the awakened ship girl.
wow-
The atmosphere around them instantly became exceptionally quiet. A large number of Abyssal Deans stared at the awakened ship girl with indescribable, strange eyes, amidst the intense aura of the deep sea.
That gaze was devoid of any emotion, cold and icy, befitting the ferocious and tyrannical nature of deep-sea creatures.
In an instant, she was stared at by hundreds of deep-sea deans. The immense psychological pressure caused the awakened ship girl's legs to go weak and her face to turn as pale as paper.
But the next second, a stubborn expression appeared on her pale face. She struggled to keep her weak body from collapsing and proudly straightened her chest like a swan with broken wings.
"I...I am...a battle-hardened ship girl warrior..."
"I...I have a home I need to protect...You...you deep-sea deans can't scare me!"
"Come on...come on! So what if it's hell...I'm already dead anyway, why should I be afraid of you deep-sea deans!"
"My comrades will avenge me! My admiral... my admiral will always remember me!"
The ship girl's voice was filled with tremolo, but her emotions were exceptionally intense.
Under the watchful eyes of the ship girls, the deep-sea deans who had stopped their work and were staring at this side remained frozen in place like statues, without making any move.
It was at this moment that the ship girls realized that all these deep-sea deans had the same face.
Heh...it seems the NPCs in Hell were poorly made...
The ship girl became even more convinced of her own guess, and her chest straightened out even more.
Under the watchful eyes of the ship girls, one of the Abyssal Deans, who had been frozen in place, finally stirred.
That was the Deep Sea Dean, who had a whistle around his neck and had been patrolling the open space since he left, seemingly doing nothing.
The abyssal dean strode toward the ship girl, her face expressionless, her eyes bloodshot, and her body shrouded in a dark aura of the deep sea, like a raging beast.
"Alright, alright, you're going to make a move, aren't you? You're going to start beating me up, huh? Come on, come on! Who's afraid of who—"
Just as the ship girl was shouting loudly, the Deep Sea Dean, who had rushed over at top speed, raised his hand aggressively. Then, under the ship girl's gaze, he jumped up and slapped her on the head from above.
Snapped! ! !
This was neither an attack from deep-sea creatures nor an attack from ship girls; it was simply a physical attack.
Ship girls and deep-sea creatures, due to their unique physical constitution, usually possess extremely strong resistance to ordinary physical attacks. Therefore, even though the deep-sea dean's force was exceptionally heavy, directly knocking the ship girl out of her armor, it only left the awakened ship girl dizzy and nearly collapsed on the spot, without causing any other damage.
The ship girl staggered a couple of steps, feeling her head buzzing like a lump of paste.
“You…” The ship girl staggered back to her senses, then glared angrily at the Deep Sea Dean in front of her.
But before the ship girl could speak, the Deep Sea Dean standing in front of her expressionlessly pulled out a notice board from behind him and shoved it into the ship girl's face.
The ship girl took two steps back before she saw the contents of the notice board.
The notice board only had eight characters on it.
"Construction site, wear your hats!"
The ship girl was stunned for a long time. The first thought that flashed through her mind was... that the current Dean of the Deep Sea can also speak human language? But as soon as this thought appeared, the ship girl shook her head and dismissed it.
This is hell... Is it strange that there are signs with human languages here?
But what exactly does the hat on that sign refer to...?
As the ship girl was thinking, a bright red hat was suddenly thrown into her arms. She instinctively reached out and caught it, only to realize that the hat that had been thrown into her arms was a standard construction site safety helmet.
"..." Ship girl.
No, that's really unnecessary...
The ship girl looked up, her expression strange as she stared at the Deep Sea Dean in front of her. She wanted to explain something, but the Deep Sea Dean in front of her was making a hat-putting gesture towards her with unusual seriousness, his red eyes staring straight at her, as if he wanted to personally supervise her.
The ship girl held the hat for a while, not knowing what she was thinking, and then silently put the hat on her head.
Seeing the ship girl put on her helmet, the deep-sea dean nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left.
The deep-sea deans, who had stopped working, then resumed their enthusiastic work like factory assembly lines restarting.
Wow...
Ding ding dong dong…
The ship girl, wearing a safety helmet, stood alone in front of the concrete building's gate, looking at the surrounding scenery, unsure of what to say.
So... the deep-sea creatures and ship girls in hell don't have to fight anymore...?
Oh...that makes sense...after all, it seems like everyone's dead.
The ship girl looked up thoughtfully at the gray sky. In an instant, she seemed to have all her strength drained away. She turned around and went back into the building behind her.
Her two companions were lying in the lobby of the building.
Although it's unclear why neither of them has woken up yet... perhaps this is precisely proof that there's still hope for them in real life...
With a heavy heart, the ship girl returned to the hall.
Upon returning to the hall, the ship girl suddenly paused, noticing that a figure had appeared in the previously empty hall.
A petite girl with neat long white hair, porcelain-like skin, dark golden eyes, and delicate, gentle, and lovely features was squatting in the center of the hall, using a slender, white hand to caress her unconscious companion.
The ship girl stopped in her tracks, looking at the petite girl who had suddenly appeared, quite surprised.
This figure was neither familiar nor unfamiliar to the ship girls.
The reason for saying they weren't familiar with each other was that the ship girl had never actually interacted with this girl.
But the reason she wasn't exactly a stranger was... because she had a very strong impression of the girl's appearance.
After all, her admiral had shown her relevant video footage hundreds of times over the past few months, telling her that no matter the circumstances, if she encountered this white-haired, blonde-eyed girl, she should turn around and leave immediately, and absolutely not look back, blah blah blah...
"You are... Admiral Lu Lin?"
The ship girl murmured softly.
The girl who was fiddling with the face of the unconscious ship girl looked up at the sound, and smiled slightly as she looked at the ship girl in front of her.
That smile was casual, yet it seemed to have a magical power, like sunlight shining through the clouds, directly touching the softest part of one's heart, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
"You're awake."
The white-haired girl said with a smile.
The girl's voice, just like her smile, was incredibly warm, instantly putting people at ease.
Chapter 4003 The Superb Rescue Team
"Admiral Lu Lin...you're dead too..." the ship girl whispered to the white-haired girl.
"Huh?" The white-haired girl paused upon hearing this, a hint of surprised and lively expression immediately appearing in her bright and clear eyes. "What?"
"This is hell for ship girls. Since you appeared here, you must have died too..." the ship girl said, her eyes filled with regret. "Alas... Heaven is jealous of talent. You died so young. Who will protect Chapter Eight from now on..."
"...?" The white-haired girl pointed to herself, her astonishment deepening.
However, just a few seconds later, the ship girl suddenly seemed to realize something, and she suddenly covered her head and shook her head.
"Wait... no, no! Admiral Lu Lin is human. Even if she died, she would have gone to hell for humans. How could she have come to the hell of ship girls... something's not right." The ship girl shook her head, muttering to herself, "So the reason I can see Admiral Lu Lin here must be because..."
"..." Listening to the ship girl's self-talk, the white-haired girl seemed to finally understand the ship girl's thoughts. Then, she put her hands behind her back with interest and approached, waiting for the ship girl to continue.
"I know! You must be an NPC from Hell too!" The ship girl immediately pointed at the white-haired girl, as if she had discovered some major mechanism, and said, "I guess the texture data in my head didn't run out, so when I was creating a big shot from Hell in the dream, it automatically connected with a big shot from reality and installed Admiral Lu Lin's appearance here! The real Admiral Lu Lin must still be alive, right!"
"..." The white-haired girl smiled as she listened to the ship girl's words.
"You smiled! I must have guessed right!" the ship girl exclaimed immediately.
"..." The white-haired girl's smile immediately widened. "Yes, you guessed right."
"You... then who exactly are you?"
Who do you think I am?
"...I don't know...but since you can use Admiral Lu Lin's appearance, you must be a big shot in hell..." the ship girl said dejectedly. "But it has nothing to do with me now, since I'm dead anyway."
The white-haired girl glanced at the ship girl's lifelike expression and raised her eyes to one side.
"Um...actually, I am...the one who controls the souls of the ship girls."
"What? You're the King of Hell?" The ship girl immediately looked up, staring at the white-haired girl before her. "Oh no, you're... the Queen of Hell!"
"...You're quite an interesting person to talk to." The white-haired girl covered her mouth and chuckled, then nodded. "Well, just think of me as the King of Hell... Mother."
"No wonder, so you're the one in charge of this hell... No wonder you can use Admiral Lu Lin's appearance... Sigh..." The ship girl sighed as if realizing something belatedly, then said to the ship girl, "Lord Yama... how come there are so many Abyssal Deans in your hell..."
"Don't you like Dean Deep Sea?"
"I am a ship girl, and ship girls and the Dean of the Deep Sea are mortal enemies."
"Hmm...indeed." The white-haired girl nodded, slightly bending to one side, avoiding the ship girls' gaze, and looking at the Abyssal Deans working enthusiastically outside the hall. "...But don't you think they're quite cute?"
"..." The ship girl looked at the white-haired girl and immediately gave an expression as if she had eaten expired food. "I really understand now, you are indeed not Admiral Lu Lin..."
"Huh? What do you say?"
"Admiral Lu Lin is the greatest admiral. Even though my admiral is afraid of her, he has to admit that Admiral Lu Lin is far ahead of everyone else on the path of admiral..." the ship girl said to the white-haired girl. "If Admiral Lu Lin herself came, she would definitely not say such words of praise to the Abyssal Deans. She would eliminate these Abyssal Deans immediately, just like she used to do."
"..." The white-haired girl.
“You’re not on our side, are you? You’re on the side of the deep sea,” the ship girl said to the white-haired girl.
"Well, you can't say that..." The white-haired girl scratched her cheek sheepishly. She looked at the ship girl in front of her and opened her mouth, but then smiled and waved her hand. "Alright, alright, let's put this topic aside for now and talk about serious matters."
"Business?"
