Azur Lane Mobile Front.

In his vision, the corporate meta might use its special abilities to pull the "living and dead" attackers out of that "box".

However, he never expected that the enterprise meta would solve this problem with such a simple machine gun attack.

"Is this the legendary brick-throwing power?"

...

The sky was ablaze with fireworks for quite some time.

As time went by, the number of "fireworks" in the sky gradually decreased.

After the last "firework" exploded, Enterprise Meta retrieved her carrier-based aircraft.

At the same time, her eyes returned to their usual lifeless state.

"..."

After confirming once again that there were no longer any so-called enemies, the company looked towards the "island" behind it.

"Alright, the gatekeeper has already taken care of it for us."

"Girls, it's our turn!"

Rob has already stood up and is loudly addressing the numerous ships.

In fact, even without him saying it, many ships already showed expressions of excitement.

"By the way, New Jersey, stay here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

However, in the end, Rob left New Jersey behind.

The reason is quite simple.

After a series of operations, the system finally unlocked the Research and Development Bureau, which was the most troublesome thing even in a certain magical naval battle.

New Jersey is the best place to farm research points.

Chapter 725: The Upside-Down City

"Honey?"

New Jersey was somewhat unhappy that Rob had left him behind.

You see, she's always been very enthusiastic about things like beating up sirens.

"Don't look at me like that, I need your help with something."

"Hmm~ Since it's Honey's request, then I'll reluctantly agree!"

After staring at Rob for a short while, New Jersey's face brightened.

It has to be said that this silly goose is definitely one of the easiest to coax.

...

On the other side, Robb's ships took to the sky one by one.

Strong gusts of wind swept over the heads of the company's meta.

She watched all of this silently.

"Just how well can you do this time, teacher?"

...

Of the Robb family's ships, Zuikaku was currently at the forefront.

Unlike usual, she is full of energy now.

In her view, a gray ghost was enough to motivate her to work hard.

But now, there are three in this area!

"I'll defeat you all in one go!"

Silently repeating this phrase in his mind, Zuikaku increased his speed once again.

"Zuikaku!!!"

This caused a look of worry to appear on Shoukaku's face, who had already left her some distance behind.

Unfortunately, she couldn't catch up with Zuikaku, who was already completely out of control.

Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as Zuikaku drifted further and further away from her.

...

Even after flying upwards for some distance, the Zuigaku could still smell the lingering stench of gunpowder.

She knew that she had already passed through the previous "blockade".

What's in the sky?

Even she knew about this problem.

However, what happened next made her doubt everything she knew once again.

Above the sky, there is no higher sky.

After passing through that blockade, what appeared before Zuikaku's eyes was a completely sealed-off sky.

Above that was a gigantic city suspended upside down in the sky.

In the steel-built city, two winding roads converge at the center.

Where they converge, there stands a tall tower, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden.

No, to be precise, the entire city gives people an extremely unreal feeling.

If I had to describe it, a mirage would be the best way to describe it.

"What...what is this?!"

...

Because Zuikaku stopped, the following troops caught up with her one after another.

Shoukaku immediately punished his younger sister for her reckless behavior, which made Zuikaku feel a bit deflated.

However, remembering that she had been locked up not long ago, she dared not say anything more.

...

The news that came back from the front made Rob hold his breath for a moment.

The black steel city that covers the entire sky gives off an overwhelming sense of oppression when viewed from below.

Rob stared at the transmitted images for a while before finally noticing the tall tower in the center of the city.

"This tower..."

"Doesn't it look familiar?"

He looked at the ships that remained beside him, hoping to get confirmation of his answer from them.

"Although some parts are hard to see..."

"But it does look a lot like the tower we saw at the Builder's place."

Zhenhai frowned, stared at the screen for a long time, and came to the same conclusion as Luo Bo.

"So, we've come to the right place?"

"Probably."

Zhenhai nodded.

"Since the company that was involved in the Ember said that those covert methods were the work of the arbitration body Hermit, then this place is very likely the location of Hermit's mainframe."

"In that case, the girls should be careful."

"The location of an arbitration body's mainframe is definitely not a simple matter."

...

"Understood, Commander."

Up ahead, Rob's company received a message from their commander.

However, even during the communication, her eyes never left the upside-down city above her.

"Everyone, immediately retract into formation."

After putting down their communicators, companies began to habitually issue orders.

"Um... Sister Enterprise, what should we do...?"

Bumblebee looked at Rob's company with some embarrassment.

"This is the commander's order."

"Ah—I understand now."

As he spoke, Bumblebee and another company headed towards the main force.

...

Just as Rob's company was gazing at the sky, a red figure was silently approaching from the distant sea.

Yukikaze, who was also in the queue, noticed this.

"Hey, isn't that the red sea area you saw before?"

Ignoring everything else, Yukikaze flew directly to the company and poked the other party in the waist.

"what?"

"It's that one, nanoda~"

Xuefeng pointed downwards, which sent a chill down the spine of the company.

Keep in mind that this place is quite a distance from where she previously discovered the red area.

Moreover, based on previous observations, the red area is not expanding at such a rapid pace.

Unless, something happened that accelerated the process.

"Is it because the blockade was breached...?"

"Business, shall we go up and take a look?"

Just as the company was still pondering the red zone, Baltimore reached out and pulled it back.

"..."

"Let's go up and tell everyone to be careful."

Although that red area looks a bit problematic.

However, companies that had previously entered that area believed the problem wasn't too serious.

So, after some deliberation, she decided to carry out the task that Rob had given her earlier.

However, before leaving, she still sent a message to Rob.

...

"The company said that the red zone they encountered before is spreading towards us."

Upon receiving the message, Rob immediately shared it with Helena Meta and Zhenhai.

"It's definitely too late to run, Commander."

"Ah~ so I guess I have no choice but to tough it out. Let's see what this thing is all about."

"Ding'an, it's up to you now!"

As he spoke, Luo Bo called out to Ding An, who was standing to the side.

...

On the other side, as they got closer to the city in the sky, the ships felt more and more that a force was pulling them upwards.

Everyone had to adjust their posture to avoid being dragged over directly.

However, as the altitude continued to increase, everything eventually reversed.

Almost instantly, the direction of gravity reversed, and everyone fell towards the city due to inertia.
