Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

"Hey, go ahead!"

The poor Purifier didn't even get to finish his words as he was kicked into the sky by Magdeburg, who was wearing sports spikes.

"Remember this! I will come back!!!"

"boom!"

The Purifier's screams became quieter and quieter, and finally it exploded with a loud bang in the sky.

Watching the Purifier's body being completely

Destroyed, Yi Bei then put away the evil smile on his face, and said to Brunhilde with some concern:

"The direction their fleet was heading just now is the commander's temporary port location."

"What did you say?"

Hearing Elbe's words, Magdeburg exclaimed in surprise.

Brunhilde also turned sideways with a serious expression and looked in the direction of the Linlan New Port Area that Zeppelin had just sent her.

"Wake up Lutzov. Forget about the mass-produced model for now. Everyone, start your ship equipment and head to the new port area at full speed."

"Elbe, have Ruprecht call Zeppelin immediately and have her send us the commander's whereabouts. Also have her gather all the forces she can and go to the commander immediately."

Seeing Magdeburg and Elbe immediately executing the order without hesitation, Brunhilde clenched her fists and placed them on her chest.

After hearing what the Purifier said just now, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Based on their years of experience dealing with Sirens, they knew that Sirens would never do anything meaningless.

They must go to the commander immediately.

Otherwise, something unpredictable and dangerous will happen to the commander!

-

At the same time, the Brunhilde fleet just discovered the Purifier fleet.

When Lin Lan, Hu Teng and Mainz arrived at the large factory where all the Liaozhou people in Lihu County were detained, all the Liaozhou people there had already been liberated.

After all, there are Z23 and Z46, even though they are both harmless and cute little lolita.

But when they displayed their ship equipment, Zhao Hu's men who were guarding here instantly gave up resistance.

What a joke, no matter how powerful the swords and guns in your hands are, can they be more powerful than the main guns on the ship?

Moreover, before they came here, the Oran people from outside the county had already told them the news that had been debunked.

The rumor that the people of Liaozhou are the source of the Sirens is an absolute rumor.

The residents from the outer district of Orlan who arrived later all sincerely apologized to the Liaozhou people who were released.

And at Nimi's request, he took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Fortunately, most people in Liaozhou are kind and honest. After learning the truth, most of them showed understanding to their former neighbors and did not pursue the matter any further.

A small number of Liaozhou residents are still angry because too much of their property was destroyed or they were severely beaten and injured for resisting too harshly.

After Lin Lan arrived and heard about this situation, he first asked the residents of Oran from other areas to raise funds through crowdfunding to provide adequate compensation to these resentful Liaozhou people.

After Zhao Long and his group, who followed Lin Lan, arrived here and learned of the situation, they all, led by Zhao Long, knelt down and admitted their mistakes, begging for forgiveness.

Moreover, they promised that they would continue to take care of the daily lives of these seriously injured or disabled Liaozhou people on a voluntary basis.

To Lin Lan's surprise, after receiving Zhao Long and his group's sincere apology and assurances, the disabled Liaozhou people sighed deeply and chose to agree.

Moreover, Lin Lan could see that these Liaozhou people were not afraid of Zhao Long and his men’s revenge in the future, but they truly trusted Zhao Long and his men.

It seems that before this, Zhao Hu and his people had a good reputation in other areas.

.

It was just the lack of information, coupled with the malicious spread of rumors by the inner-zone business council, that led to their hostility towards the people of Liaozhou.

Fortunately, no Liaozhou people died as a result of the incident.

At this point, the disturbance caused by the outside district against the people of Liaozhou was resolved by Lin Lan.

Many people from Liaozhou and Oran said goodbye to Lin Lan and returned to the outside of the county.

In the empty abandoned factory, there are still a dozen Liaozhou people living in the inner area.

It was obvious that a rainstorm was about to occur outside, so they all planned to wait here until the rainstorm was over before returning to the county with Lin Lan.

"Lord Commander!"

Just as Lin Lan squatted down with a smile and stroked the heads of Teacher Nimi and Z46, two little lolis, raindrops began to drip sparsely in the factory.

A happy little girl shouted.

Lin Lan looked over and saw Riko being carried by a young Liaozhou couple with grateful expressions on their faces.

Their family was finally reunited.

"Commander, we two really don't know how to thank you and your ship girls."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would never be able to reunite with little Lily in this life."

Liko's parents walked up to Lin Lan, put Liko down, and actually wanted to kneel on the ground to express their gratitude.

Of course Lin Lan would not allow this to happen, he immediately stood up and stopped the two of them.

"This is what a commander should do. It's just that the previous commander may have encountered some accident and failed to do it."

He said, then looked down at Riko.

At this moment, the black-haired cat-eared girl squinted her eyes and showed an extremely happy smile on her face.

This made Lin Lan think of the Sakura Empire girls from her former harbor. How are they doing now?

After gently touching Rico's little head, Lin Lan chatted with Rico's parents for a while and waved goodbye to Rico's family.

"Can I come and play with Sister Nimi again in the future?"

When they reached the factory gate, Riko, who was held by her parents' hands, suddenly turned around and looked at Z23 and asked loudly.

"Nimi, I'm asking you."

Lin Lan smiled and looked at Z23, while Teacher Nimi was silent for a while, then took off his little blue hat, smiled and waved, saying:

"You are welcome anytime. I will prepare the iron-blooded bread that I made myself for you."

"Great!"

Watching Liko's family walking away in the increasingly heavy rain, Lin Lan turned around and looked at the group of people from the inner district of Liaozhou behind him.

"You just said that the Oran people in the inner district do not trust the county governor's words. Were you forcibly captured by his soldiers?"

A decently dressed man from Dog-ear Liaozhou came forward cautiously and explained to Lin Lan:

"Commander, this county magistrate is actually an agent sent here by the Tianou Group of the Zhuhai Business Association."

"Since he took office here two years ago, many Liaozhou people in the inner district have disappeared inexplicably, so you can see that most of the Liaozhou people in the county live in this outer district."

Another old man with white hair and dog ears wearing glasses also said to Lin Lan:

"And I heard from my juniors who used to work in the Government Building that this county magistrate is moody and... often kills people for no reason, and even their bodies cannot be found."

"Ever since he personally visited the former Navy Department office in the county, no one has come out since then."

Hearing this, Lin Lan was shocked:

"What did you say?"

Click!

There was a loud thunder outside the factory and heavy rain finally began to pour down.

Mainz suddenly drew out the naval command knife in his hand and said to Lin Lan with a serious expression:

"Commander, there's news from Weser that there are ten mechas that have never been seen before in the county area heading here. They are expected to arrive here in a few minutes."

"and……"

Seeing that Mainz, who was always serious, paused, Lin Lan couldn't help but ask:

"And what?"

Mainz seemed to confirm Weser's news again and again, then looked at Lin Lan and said solemnly:

"And above the tallest building in the inner area, a carrier-based aircraft from the Weser crew crashed."

"In the last moments before the carrier-based plane crashed, Weser said she saw the attacker as a thick black fog."

Chapter 68: The Final Battle with the Black Hand (4500 words, revised version)

"Black mist?"

When Lin Lan heard Mainz's words and combined them with what the old man Liaozhou had just said, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He looked at the group of Liaozhou people living in the inner area and said:

"Go find a place to hide outside first. It's not safe here. If you continue to stay here, you might get hurt by mistake."

The people of Liaozhou living in the inner area also heard Mainz's words and had guessed what the mecha troops coming here wanted to do.

So even though it had started raining heavily outside, they said goodbye to Lin Lan and the others and left in the rain.

At this moment, only four iron-blooded ship girls including Lin Lan and Hu Teng were left in the empty factory.

The boards above the factory building were rattling as heavy raindrops hit them, and it seemed as if the abandoned factory building was about to be blown down by the heavy rain.

It was only about six o'clock outside, but the sky was already covered by thick dark clouds and seemed to have fallen into darkness.

Lin Lan looked around at the girls who were accompanying her.

Nimi and Z46, who hadn't spoken much along the way, both cute little girls looked up at him.

Mainz stood straight with a knife in hand, and the silver-haired girl looked heroic.

Hu Teng still seemed to have no sense of existence. He folded his hands across his chest, remained silent, and looked outside the house, as if he was thinking about something.

The strong wind, carrying the unique smell of rain, rushed into the factory and hit Lin Lan's face.

In such bad weather, Lin Lan felt a little warm in his heart because of the company of the girls around him.

"There is no need to hold back when dealing with these mechas. The people driving these mechas are all lackeys of the consortium."

Lin Lan finished speaking in a deep voice and said to Mainz:

"Notify Weser to use bombers to freely attack the mechas. Monitor the inner area and report any special situations immediately."

Mainz nodded and conveyed Lin Lan's words to Weser.

"Today I want to see how capable this so-called Tianou Group agent is."

Lin Lan thought carefully about the description of the culprit given by the Liaozhou people.

In his impression, Tianou Group has always been a professional consortium.

The mission of a consortium is to put profit above all else.

The Tianou Group controls the entire civilian shipping routes of the United States of Oran and stores a large amount of oil.

It is reasonable that this profit-oriented consortium should not do something that goes against their development philosophy.

Tianou Group is the most tolerant consortium towards the detained people in the entire Oran United States.

After all, their routes once covered every country in the world, so they had no prejudice against other countries' races and treated them all as equal partners.

Even for the Teaching Country, which had a completely different development path from Orlan Technology and almost broke out in a war, Tianou Group was once its only trusted cooperative enterprise.

Not to mention Liaozhou. Before the Siren disaster, the large-scale wave of immigration and employment in Liaozhou was enough to prove that Tianou Group had a good reputation in Liaozhou.

Many Liaozhou people have even held important positions in Tianou Group after years of hard work.

Putting aside the history before the Siren disaster, just talking about the present, the detained people of Liaozhou are also the main customer group of Tianou Group in Oran.

Every winter, the Liaozhou people and the Aolan people from the East and West continents of Aolan

There is a custom of going home for the New Year.

Although they can no longer return to Liaozhou, the migration of Liaozhou people between the east and west continents of Oran can make Tianou Group a fortune.

Lin Lan really couldn't understand why the people of Liaozhou had a bad impression of Tianou Group.
