After saying that, without waiting for Helena to answer, Cleveland turned and walked towards the ninth opponent on the field.
Chapter 354 Ending (Edited by the author)
In fact, from the perspective of combat capability, Cleveland may not be as good as Helena. After all, she was born later than Helena, and she has not participated in as many battles as Helena, so she is not as smooth as Helena in fighting.
But her own abilities are good enough, and she is often educated by the elders at home, so she fights no worse than those ship girls with rich combat experience.
The ninth ship girl had already consumed a lot of physical energy, and Helena's relieved smile made her mentality rather negative, so she was successfully defeated by Cleveland after a short fight.
The last person to go on stage was Nelson. She originally wanted to go to the first game, but she didn't expect that the other ship girls were so fast that they dragged her to the back.
Nelson, who wanted to end things with Helena, was somewhat disappointed. Looking at Cleveland, who was wearing a short skirt, she thought for a moment and asked:
"Can I have a fight with Helena? I'll wait until she's fully recovered. I want to put an end to her."
Cleveland tied her hair into a side ponytail, making sure it wouldn't swing in her eyes, and smiled, "No need, she is me and I am her, and it's the same if she fights me."
"You? Can you represent her?"
Cleveland stretched on the water, bounced, and replied: "Well... yes, I hope so. If possible, every day from now on, we will make decisions together."
Nelson felt something was wrong when he heard this, but he didn't think much about it. "Forget it, after I beat you, I'll make an appointment with her alone.
Cleveland did not refute. He listened to Phoenix's angry shouts on the shore and waited happily for the starting gun to sound.
"boom!"
Cleveland and Nelson started instantly and began a mobile confrontation on the huge water surface.
Both sides were exhausted in this exercise. On one side was Nelson who insisted on his belief in the "Big Seven" battleship, and on the other side was Cleveland who did not want to lose easily, which caused the battle to last for a long time.
Finally, after two exhausted last shots, Cleveland and Nelson fell to the water at the same time, no longer having the strength to move.
Tiancheng looked at Helena, who was leaning in Yixian's arms and breathing a sigh of relief, then looked at Phoenix, who was cursing as he entered the venue with people, smiled with satisfaction, and then looked at Rodney, who was also breathing a sigh of relief beside him.
"How about it."
"...very strong. It seems we still have a long way to go, but..." Rodney looked at Liu Jun who looked very bad not far away and smiled bitterly. "I guess there is no way for us to go further."
"There are so many roads in the world, why not go anywhere?" Tiancheng looked at the returning Phoenix and Cleveland, "Remember the apology.
Rodney didn't refuse. He nodded and asked softly, "So...is there a fourth thing? I think we may need to take a break."
"I'm sorry, it's true." Tiancheng took out a document and handed it over, "I'm sorry for looking through Guigang's inspection documents without permission."
Rodney no longer wanted to dwell on such trivial matters. He had the recording files, and looking at some paper documents didn't seem to be anything worthy of attention.
She looked at the records and drawings of last year's sea patrol arrangements in her hand, somewhat confused, "Hey...what's wrong?"
"In fact, in the fourth quarter of last year, there were always one or two Siren ships appearing near our port area."
"...This should be normal. It was during the Sirens' active period."
"Yes, but our port is within the safety line." Tiancheng looked at Rodney who was stunned, and added, "And the one responsible for guarding the safety line is your port."
"This... I wasn't there at the time, but... this situation shouldn't have happened..."
"You'll have to ask your commander about that." Tiancheng smiled, "I've handed the documents over to the military police for processing. You... should also think about how to live your life from now on."
Rodney sighed, looked at Liu Jun who was furious, and shook his head gently, "We will visit tomorrow. Tonight... please let us rest for a while."
Amagi did not act aggressively. He nodded to show his understanding, patted Rodney on the shoulder, and led the excited ship girls away.
"Why are you showing off? If you feel tired, just come down. It's not like we can't handle it." Phoenix supported Helena, who was staggering when walking, with a distressed look on his face, muttering to himself.
"Well... I wanted to fight for a while longer to piss them off..." Helena pursed her lips and smiled, "I feel relieved now, it's okay."
Phoenix didn't have the heart to say anything to Helena anymore, so he turned his gun to Cleveland, "And you! I'm the next one, why are you rushing out?"
"I did that... to save Helena..." Cleveland scratched his cheek, a little embarrassed, "Besides, she was wronged, and I was also angry..."
"Shout, you were just being a hero, all fancy stuff, and in the end it ended in a tie. If it were me, wouldn't I be a shark?"
Cleveland smiled good-naturedly, "Yes, yes, sister, you are the best. I will have to rely on you to save the situation next time."
"Sister... can you call me sister?"
"Ah? If not sister, what should I call you..."
"I'm telling you, don't try to take advantage of Helena, not even in terms of address!"
"...ah?"
Tiancheng listened to the noisy sounds behind her and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the young commander had given her the role of leading the team, and it was impossible for her not to be nervous. Fortunately, everything went well, and she would probably be able to sleep well tonight.
"...I'm sorry, Helena." More than 20 ship girls apologized to Helena with expressions of self-blame and regret, "We misunderstood before, and we don't ask for your forgiveness, but... at least... at least..."
Helena smiled, interrupted the ship girl, and comforted her: "It's okay, I've let it go. But you, what are you going to do after he is arrested?"
Rodney sighed. "The Military Police said that our port area is quite large, and it would not be a good idea to disband it hastily. They are going to send a temporary commander to take charge of the position. It is said that... his last name is Wu?"
"As for me... I want to leave. I think I can't trust humans easily anymore for the time being." Rodney smiled, "I will probably be a wandering ship girl in the future."
"What about your sister?"
"She... I hope she can stay and not have to suffer with me, but with her personality... I think she will follow me while saying 'I just want to go out and travel'..."
Helena thought for a moment, then patted Rodney on the shoulder affectionately and said, "If you don't want to join the port anymore, I have a good place to introduce you to."
"Hmm? Where?"
"A cafe. I think you'd like it."
ps: I just saw a book friend asking Ming Miao what the relationship is between Nelson and Rodney. In fact, Nelson and Helena are very familiar with each other, and Liu also knows that Nelson has been to Susu's port area, so he thinks Helena will not sit idly by.
Regardless, as for Ming Miao, firstly, because Ming Miao is a businessman by nature, he will do general business, and secondly, he wants to use Nelson to let Helena indirectly influence Ming Miao and increase the success rate of the transaction.
I didn't write anything about it, but at least this guy was locked up, and you won't see him again. It can be regarded as filling in the gaps dug in the early stage, although the writing is a bit lame...
Chapter 355 Cemetery?
This time, most of the battleships commanded by Su Xiao were dispatched. They thought it would take a long time to solve the problem, but they didn't expect that the whole process would be even longer than the time they spent in the car.
And not to mention that most of the ship girls didn't take any action, they didn't even say a word. They were basically just playing these past few days. Portland even took the time to make another piece of clothing for Indy.
Helena said goodbye to Nelson and Rodney who were about to leave together, and then followed her current sisters closely, listening to them arguing in her ears.
After fighting to exhaustion that night, Helena seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden. She felt much more relaxed, and her whole body visibly softened.
She began to be less obsessed with finding things to do, and instead tried to make her free time longer so that she could use it to find some leisure hobbies that suited her.
She tried playing chess, playing cards, reading, and painting, but unfortunately these did not make her feel comfortable, so she gave up on them all.
In fact, Helena knew what she wanted. She wanted something that could accompany her and belong to her alone.
When she thought about her hobbies, the first thing she thought of was not cooking or flower arranging, but the white eagle she had seen in York City and Enterprise in the past.
It’s not that she thinks it’s cool or anything. Helena just envies this stable bond, which is very pure and relaxing.
It's not that she hasn't thought about raising pets like other people, but for the ship girls, as long as they don't sink and sacrifice, or retire on their own initiative, then their lives will be almost eternal, but creatures other than the ship girls can't do this.
point.
Although Helena believes that she can accompany her pet throughout its life, she does not want to watch the lives she is close to disappear before her eyes, so keeping a pet is not an option.
As for the rest... Helena glanced at Cleveland, who was being caught and scolded by her sister, and sighed silently.
Recently, she seemed to have paid too much attention to Cleveland. She was jealous of Montpellier's arrival before. Although they reconciled later, Helena was still impressed by her stinginess.
Now she seemed to have returned to the state she was in before, but the strange thing was that Helena didn't know who she was jealous of this time. Could it be her sister?
After taking her gaze away again, Helena sighed, forced herself to cheer up, moved closer to Ming Miao and began to divert her attention.
"Ming Miao, can we get a refund for the hotel rental? The matter was resolved too quickly, we may have to go back early..."
"Hmm? No need. I want to stay here for another day or two, meow."
Helena was a little confused when she heard this. "Well...is there somewhere you want to go? I'm quite familiar with this place. Do you need my help?"
Ming Miao waved his hands, and after thinking for a moment, he changed his tone, "Well... okay, actually there is something I may need your help with, meow."
"It's like this, I don't know this place very well, so I can only rely on the navigation to find places, but there are many places that are not included in the navigation, so I can't find the way."
"A place that is not included..." Helena thought carefully for a while, then asked: "What place is it, a community? Or a food store? If it is a food store, it is easier to find, but if it is a residence...
It’s a bit difficult.”
"Residential? It shouldn't be considered a residence, meow..." The profiteer opened the map, then zoomed in with two fingers and looked around, but still found nothing, so he had to turn to Helena for help.
Helena asked her patiently, "So this is where someone lives? If it can't be found on the map, then that means they don't live in the community, right?"
Ming Miao nodded, and Helena asked again, "Is it very remote? In the suburbs outside the city or somewhere else?"
"Uh... I'm not sure. She likes to run around. I heard about her online and came here to look for her."
"Hmm... Is he someone Ming Miao knows?"
Ming Miao scratched his head, "We are acquaintances, but our relationship is not very good... We should be considered competitors, Miao."
When Helena heard this, she immediately became interested. Although they had been self-reliant together in the temporary port area before, Helena really didn't know what happened about Ming Miao before that.
"Tell me, what can I do for you?"
"If possible, please help me find where she might be, meow." Ming handed over the phone while speaking, "Some of them may not have been recorded, so I can't find them, meow..."
Helena was a little confused. From what she heard, Mingmiao knew the other party's address. Isn't it easy to find? But when she took the phone and carefully looked at the location in the search bar, she suddenly felt a little pressured.
"......cemetery?"
Ming Miao nodded as a matter of course, "I've been to all the places I could find, but they're too formal, meow..."
"Normal?" Helena's scalp suddenly tingled. "You can't see... that kind of thing?"
"I'm a businessman! Not an exorcist, how can I possibly see that?"
"Then why do you...uh...your competitors live in a cemetery...or an informal cemetery with no name..."
Ming Miao felt wronged, "How could I possibly know this, Miao! She won't tell me why she likes staying in the cemetery..."
After being criticized by Ming Miao, Helena felt a little embarrassed. She cleared her throat and said seriously, "There are not many cemeteries with names that can't be found on the map. The tourism industry is so developed here. How could it be possible that there are so many cemeteries with names that can't be found on the map?"
There will be a grave left."
"So it must be gone in the city, so it must be somewhere in the suburbs." Helena tried hard to recall, "I remember... there seemed to be a large area in the suburbs to the west, which was not developed much before. I guess there will be
Have. "
"Ah, of course, that was in the past. I don't really know what the situation is now..."
Ming Miao waved her hands nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm just looking around anyway, meow, just mark the location for me and I'll go there myself, meow."
"Hmm? You really don't want us to go together?"
"No, no, it's not a good place, meow. You guys continue to play for two days, I'll go out and look for it. If I can't find it, forget it, meow."
"Well... okay."
Helena watched Ming Miao, who was in a good mood, hopped away. After thinking about it, she still felt a little worried. Although the mission was difficult and the force value was absolutely off the charts, if there really was something strange... it would be safer with more people, right?
So Helena turned around and reported the matter to Phoenix and Cleveland, but Phoenix was a city that loved to watch the fun and make trouble.
So the next day, not long after Ming Miao left, the idle ship girls behind him gathered together. Each one was dressed more simply and tightly than the other, and the only thing missing was a layer of grass.
"Then...the operation of secretly protecting Ming Miao begins!"
"...Sister, keep your voice down."
"Hehehe... there was no fight that day, so we have nothing to do... let's go, let's go."
“…Really.”
Chapter 356 Is Your Hand Here?
"Hey, hey, hey... Where's Ming Miao? The green-haired dwarf should be easy to find, how come he disappeared all of a sudden?"
Helena sighed, looked at Phoenix who was acting like a thief beside her, and the large group of people behind her who were strolling and laughing as if they were shopping, and suddenly she didn't understand what she was doing.
"I really can't find her. Helena Helena, turn on the radar and scan to see where she is."
Helena really had no way to deal with her sister who was restless. She had already begun to regret telling this matter. It was originally just a small gossip, but it attracted a large group of people to follow her.
Phoenix also said it was a [Protection Plan for Profligate Merchants]. Helena thought that perhaps a more appropriate name would be the [Tracking Plan]. Besides, the man was not going to buy groceries nearby, so how could she catch up with him by walking?
