Chapter 290: A Family of Loyal and Brave York City Level (2800 Words)
As soon as the words fell, Lin Lan saw a ship girl with long golden hair and twin ponytails wearing a black cowboy hat appeared at the door.
Green eyes, a vibrant black belly-baring halter top and a black and yellow motorcycle jacket, paired with hot pants and black stockings...
It was the energetic cowboy girl of York City, his Bumblebee.
When Bumblebee saw Lin Lan walking down the ground with the help of Enterprise, he jumped up with joy and flew towards him.
"Commander! You are finally awake?! Enterprise took the lead!!"
"Wait wait wait a minute..."
When Lin Lan saw Bumblebee's eager flying posture, he secretly thought it was not good, but it was too late to stop him.
"Swoosh~~~"
He and Enterprise were directly hugged by Bumblebee, whose hat fell to the ground, and lay back on the bed.
I just stood up with great difficulty...
Fortunately, the recovery effect of the hero's skill is efficient enough, and the porridge he just ate has given him some strength.
Otherwise, the energetic pounce of Bumblebee alone would have taken half of his life.
"Bumblebee, the commander just woke up and is very weak. Be careful with your strength."
Enterprise has naturally seen that Bumblebee's pounce will not cause any harm to the commander, but she still reminded the little sister who was holding her and the commander tightly together on the bed with a little seriousness.
After hearing Enterprise's words, Bumblebee let go of the two with an embarrassed look on her face, sat on Lin Lan, smiled and stretched out her hands to rub Lin Lan's face, and said with a bright silly smile:
"Oh, I forgot about this. Isn't it because I'm too excited to see the commander wake up, hehehe~"
Looking at Bumblebee who was so passionate and clingy on him, Lin Lan helplessly let Bumblebee act coquettishly to him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This impetuous and hot cowboy is still as straightforward as in the game.
The third ship of the Yorktown class, Hornet, as the younger sister of Yorktown and Enterprise, she once cared too much about the pressure from her sisters.
But later in her personal story, with the help of Lin Lan, she got over this knot in her heart, and also confessed to the commander very frankly.
Of course, Hornet, like Enterprise and Yorktown, is a ship girl installed at the beginning of the game, and joined Lin Lan's port when he was still a newbie.
And because she was sunk by the Sakura Empire Fleet in the history of Blue Star, the current Hornet ship has been reborn with the keel of the Essex-class ship and the integration of the II-class ship technology.
"Well~ Commander, how did you turn back to your youthful appearance? It's so magical. As expected, this pure and handsome look is still likable~"
When Bumblebee was madly ravaging Lin Lan's cheek, Enterprise suddenly poked Bumblebee's waist and said with a smile:
"Bumblebee, there will be plenty of time for you to play with the commander later. You are blocking your sister."
Hearing Enterprise's words, Lin Lan was slightly stunned, and Bumblebee also stopped his movements and hurriedly got off Lin Lan.
"Oh! Too excited, Commander, look who's here~"
As Bumblebee smiled and stepped aside, Lin Lan saw the silver-white long-haired slender ship girl standing at the door, wearing a white dress, covering her mouth, and looking at him silently.
Yorktown, Mrs. York.
This Yorktown-class No. 1 ship, who he used to caress with heartache every time he saw it in the game interface.
"Commander...long time no see..."
Incredibly gentle voice, such simple words.
Lin Lan looked at the beautiful woman standing at the door, staring at him deeply, with tears falling from the corners of her eyes and dripping onto the ground. At one moment, he had too many things to say, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.
Too many memories flashed through his mind in the brief silence at this moment.
When Yorktown joined his port as a ship girl, Lin Lan, who had never known the history of warships, was still a student, he was aroused by Yorktown's negative and even somewhat inferior lines.
Why is she so negative as a ship girl, different from other ship girls, as if she has closed her heart?
With this question, Lin Lan, who skipped the main storyline of the game, began to look up Yorktown's history on the Internet. This was also the first time he looked up the past of his ship girls.
But this look touched his heart deeply.
Yorktown aircraft carrier, CV-5.
In the early Pacific War, facing the fierce Sakura Empire fleet, Yorktown participated in the first aircraft carrier duel-Coral Sea Battle and was severely damaged.
Afterwards, the Yorktown, which was not fully repaired, participated in the Battle of Midway again.
Facing the Sakura Empire fleet, which had an absolute advantage in the Pacific at the time, the three sisters of the Yorktown class stepped onto this tragic battlefield with the expectations of countless people.
Before this, Lin Lan only knew that the White Eagle Fleet won the final victory and reversed the war situation that was extremely dangerous for the White Eagle at the time.
But when he saw that Yorktown met her end in this battle, he was stunned.
After being severely damaged by the Sakura Empire fleet, even though it was severely tilted, it still remained strong and did not sink, waiting for rescue.
The destroyer Hamman had been guarding the severely injured Yorktown and provided electricity to Yorktown for rescue.
But in the afternoon, the Sakura Empire submarine I168 discovered the severely injured Yorktown and fired a fatal torpedo at Yorktown.
In order to protect Yorktown, Haman, who discovered the torpedo attack, desperately attacked the torpedo with her main gun, trying to detonate the torpedo, but it was all in vain.
Haman finally used her petite body to block the immobile Yorktown and the torpedo, and was eventually cut in half by the torpedo and sank.
The remaining torpedoes also gave Yorktown the final blow.
This Yorktown-class No. 1 ship, which carried the will of the White Eagle and fought bravely against the huge Sakura Empire fleet, suffered a fatal blow, dragged her seriously injured body to support for two days, and finally slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Lin Lan didn't know what Yorktown was thinking in the last two days of her life.
Was she worried about how her sisters would face the Sakura Empire fleet in the cruel war in the future?
Or was she crying for Haman, who gave his life to protect her paralyzed body?
But when he read the historical materials to this point, he was already in tears.
He also understood why Yorktown, who joined his port, said those words.
For the first time, Lin Lan realized what kind of sad stories were hidden behind those wars that were glossed over in history textbooks.
After reading the history of Hornet, he was deeply shocked.
In the Battle of Santa Cruz after the Battle of Midway, Hornet, the youngest of the three sisters of the Yorktown class and the initiator of the famous Doolittle Raid, also experienced the same fate as her sister.
Hornet, who was severely damaged and paralyzed by the fire of the Sakura Empire's carrier-based aircraft group on the battlefield, wanted to give up struggling.
But her frigate heavy cruiser Northampton had been bombing the Sakura Empire's carrier-based aircraft, covering her with anti-aircraft guns, and trying again and again to drag her away from the battlefield.
But seeing the Sakura Empire fleet chasing behind, Hornet forced Northampton to leave in despair and chose to stay where she was.
In the end, this little sister of the Yorktown class, Hornet, who had made great achievements together with her elder sister Yorktown and second sister Enterprise, was completely sunk by the chasing Sakura Empire fleet.
From then on, the Enterprise, which was still under repair, became the only aircraft carrier of the White Eagle in the South Pacific, and her two sisters left her one after another.
Before she had time to grieve, all the burdens fell on her alone.
It was precisely because of this crisis that the Enterprise, which was fighting alone, was forced to let the female kitchen god go to the battlefield with her, and made the declaration of "Enterprise VS Sakura Empire", and fought while repairing.
Lin Lan already knew the story of the Enterprise afterwards.
The Enterprise, which led the Essex-class juniors who joined the battlefield later and finally won the war, became the legendary ship of the White Eagle, won countless medals and military merits, won countless victories, and won countless prestigious nicknames.
But all that Enterprise did could not bring back her beloved sisters, and was eventually dismantled by the White Eagle alone.
The Yorktown class, which is full of loyal heroes, is also a comment left by the author who sorted out the information online.
It is precisely because it touched Lin Lan so much that Lin Lan can almost be said to take care of the inferior and negative Yorktown in every possible way.
Since God has given him the opportunity to reunite the three sisters of Yorktown in his port, he will never let those past events happen again.
He swore silently in his heart that he would definitely let Yorktown, which was deeply trapped in the quagmire of historical memories and could not get out, bloom with a happy smile again.
As time passed, with his care and company, Yorktown gradually opened up to him and trusted him more and more.
Until that day, Lin Lan finally put on the oath ring that he had saved by frugality on Yorktown.
He finally saw the Yorktown-class elder sister who had closed her heart for a time, the silver-haired ship girl, showing a gentle smile to him.
This smile gradually overlapped with the face of the beautiful ship girl who stood in front of him and wiped her tears and also showed a smile.
"I once fell into the abyss of darkness, and it was you, the commander, who gave me light and pulled me back."
"So now it's my turn... Let me bring you the freedom and peace represented by the name Yorktown."
