Azur Lane Mobile Front.

After all, humans always harbor a sense of wishful thinking.

After seeing that "pollution" has a real strengthening effect on the ship's equipment, they will definitely choose to find a way to solve the problem of irrationality caused by the pollution, rather than choosing to remove the pollution.

The only lesson humanity learns from history is that humanity never learns anything.

It is foreseeable that White Eagle will soon face a major outbreak of pollution.

As for what kind of blow this "first tier" will suffer, we can only wait and see.

Rob's words made Saratoga fall into deep thought.

Now, it would be incredibly easy for White Eagle Command to suppress their report.

After all, if you told anyone that you could travel between White Eagle and Eastern Huang in an instant, no one would believe it.

Even a ruthless person like me needs to create a wonder before I can travel through time.

"Then...what should we do?"

After much thought, Saratoga couldn't come up with a good solution to the problem in the short term.

"What should I do? How should I know?"

Rob shrugged. Of course, he had a solution.

However, he is the commander of the Eastern Empire. Even if he wanted to interfere in the affairs of the White Eagle, he wouldn't have a proper reason.

"You should know that, based on my estimation, White Eagle's current approach is definitely to cover up this fact first."

"All I can do is try to rescue a few people who are familiar with the ships here."

"Because I can still gloss over this by saying it was a private matter."

"Large-scale operations? Sorry, we can't do that."

Rob's words effectively ended Saratoga's hopes.

"However, Dean, aren't your White Eagle ships being a little too accommodating to these bastards in the command headquarters?"

"Sometimes, you need to be decisive."

Rob glanced at Saratoga, who was deep in thought, and prepared to leave.

Just then, a voice called out to him.

"Um... I really didn't want to bother you..."

"But what should I do?"

The one who interrupted Rob was Uncle Taylor, the repairman who had been rescued along the way.

A complete stranger appeared in front of him, leaving Rob stunned for a few seconds.

Previously, I seemed to have completely overlooked him.

"Hey, Dean Sarah, who is he?"

I vaguely remember that this person came with Saratoga and Lexington.

Was he even there when the unicorn was being "healed"?

"Ah? Oh! Taylor, the worker who repairs the ship's equipment for my sister."

"Huh? A repairman?"

Upon hearing this, Rob's eyes lit up instantly.

"Um... well, Master Taylor, right?"

"Would you be interested in working here in Donghuang?"

"You know, the city you live in is probably uninhabitable for some time to come."

"So, how about considering a change of environment?"

"By the way, do you have any family members over there? If so, I can help with the rescue."

Rob's barrage of questions left Taylor somewhat bewildered.

From their previous conversation, he knew that the young man in front of him was a commander of the Eastern Empire.

Moreover, all the ships that flew through the air and traversed the land addressed him as Commander.

He quickly recalled the legend that had been widely circulated in White Eagle.

"Excuse me, is the 'Flying Corporate Lady' also here?"

Instead of answering Rob's question directly, Taylor asked about the company.

"You mean the company? Ah, it's been a long time since I've heard anyone call her that."

The way Taylor addressed him gave Rob a sense of being in another world.

He smiled and shook his head, trying to shake off those memories.

"The Enterprise is naturally with me; she's my initial ship!"

"Then there's no problem. Anyway, I don't have any relatives over there."

After receiving Rob's affirmative answer, Taylor readily agreed to Rob's request.

"We are very happy to have you join us."

"However, it's getting late now, so I'll arrange a room for you first."

"We can discuss salary and other related issues tomorrow, how does that sound?"

"Ah, I don't care about any of that!"

This somewhat slovenly-looking middle-aged man didn't seem to care much about these things.

He waved his hand and followed the head maid.

"Now you're even going to include things that aren't ships?"

Saratoga, who witnessed Rob's "poaching" of players, stared at Rob with a cold face.

"What can we do? The repair workers here in Donghuang are seriously inexperienced."

Rob shrugged and continued.

"Dunkirk and the others are still lying in the dock, no one is fixing them."

“The masters here in Donghuang have absolutely no experience in this area. How could I let go of a master who is offered to me?”

"Yes, thank you so much, Dean Sarah, for your timely help!"

Saratoga's eyes widened upon hearing Rob's words.

Did she just hear a name that sounded really off?

Chapter 474: Pollution in Progress

At that moment, Iowa, far away in the White Eagles' home territory, had just received a message from Saratoga.

The information inside was so bizarre that it seemed to shut down Iowa's mental core for quite some time.

Let's not even talk about how this aircraft carrier jumps back and forth between the White Eagle and the Eastern Empire.

This black mist looks far too fantastical; it doesn't seem like something that can be created so easily.

"Evacuating civilians and ships in the dock... Ha, it's not that easy..."

Unlike Saratoga, who focused more on the military, Iowa devoted more time and energy to politics.

Saratoga's proposal was out of the question, let alone the headquarters.

Even she herself doesn't quite get through to it.

How can we explain this to the public?

Whether the public will believe it or not is another matter, but Iowa dares to guarantee it.

As long as she announces this news, a large number of people will definitely think it's "cool" and will spontaneously head towards the direction where the black fog is spreading.

"You've really given me a tough challenge..."

Iowa turned off the communicator and stood up from the chair.

"I'm going out."

She greeted her secretary and walked outside.

Rather than listen to Saratoga's explanation, she decided to go and see for herself.

Given the ship's visibility, there's no need to get too close.

...

Driving to the port, Iowa summoned her ship equipment and headed towards the scene of the incident along the coastline.

She hadn't gone far when she saw a faint black mist moving rapidly toward her city.

"This speed..."

After estimating the time it would take for the black fog to reach the city, Iowa broke out in a cold sweat.

Damn it!

Finally, Iowa realized the seriousness of the situation.

She made a sharp turn on the sea, preparing to return the way she came.

"Listen to me, contact all police stations immediately and have them do everything they can to evacuate the crowd."

"Then, tell all the ships still undergoing maintenance in the dock to move out immediately!"

In order to buy time, Iowa, who was still at sea, began to issue orders to the outside world through his secretary.

Even though these orders will certainly cause panic and have some very bad consequences.

But compared to being polluted by the black fog, all of this is acceptable.

...

Just as Iowa had thought.

After receiving the order, no one actually carried it out.

The police stated that they could not use this nonsensical reason to evacuate the crowd, and the shipyard also stated that the ship's maintenance work was not yet complete.

However, compared to the human population, the ships are easier to talk to.

After receiving the message from Iowa, they indicated that if their ship was not seriously damaged, they could carry out the order.

"Tsk, just as I expected~"

Iowa, who was still on his way, felt a sinking feeling in his heart after receiving the reply.

It seems that even my city can't escape this fate.

...

The pollution appears to be spreading even faster than Iowa had anticipated.

She had just returned to her city when the black fog had already reached the city's edge.

Many local residents came out of their houses and pointed at the black fog that was approaching them.

In their view, this was an absolutely unprecedented scenario.

Many people also took out their cameras to record the scene.

The patrolling police officers stopped their car, leaned against the door, and watched all this with smiles on their faces.

No one knew what would happen next.

As the black mist drew closer, several young men dressed in very fashionable clothes quickly ran towards it.

Perhaps in their view, this behavior is a way to demonstrate their strength.

A black fog instantly enveloped them.

"Wow~"

Upon contact with the black mist, they experienced some hallucinations.

However, these things did not raise their alarm.
