Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

His long golden hair and black iron-blooded formal military uniform reveal his meticulous military temperament.

The iron-blooded leader, the battleship Bismarck.

Lin Lan remembered that Bismarck had this habit - even in his busy schedule, he would take time out to greet his companions who had returned after completing a commission.

Bismarck probably didn't know that he had been found, which shows that Bismarck's habit remained the same as before without any change.

"Sister, you are waiting for us to go home again."

Following Tirpitz's greeting, a smile appeared on Bismarck's serious face.

"Waiting for the expedition warriors to return is the leader's duty."

At this time, Bismarck discovered Lin Lan standing next to her sister and Driver Z.

Because it was dark, she did not recognize Lin Lan's identity at first, but a hint of confusion appeared in her blue eyes.

Why would her sister bring a strange man to the Iron Blood Fortress?

Even when signing contracts with these human countries, she signed them with the other party through a projector.

Even though the Iron Blood Fortress is no longer the port area it once was, that person should be the only male qualified to enter.

Thinking of this, Bismarck did not lose her temper on the spot. As a leader, she knew when to have a good talk with her sister.

She and Tirpitz did not have a good relationship in the past, because neither of them could express their feelings to each other clearly, and they both buried their feelings for each other in their hearts.

If it weren't for the help of the commander and other companions, the two sisters would have resolved their misunderstandings. Perhaps she and Tirpitz would not have understood each other's difficulties and feelings.

At this moment, although it is not known what kind of boasting Tirpitz and August have listened to from this man, this is the mirror sea imitated by Iron Blood.

The secret fortress of Iron Blood contains countless secrets and technologies that cannot be disclosed to the public.

Bismarck decided to persuade the man to return in a friendly manner.

"Sister Bismarck!"

"Sister Bismarck is waiting for us again. She is so gentle!"

The little girls from the Z-destroyer and the U-boat happily ran down from the ship and surrounded Bismarck.

Although Bismarck looks very serious, he is very popular among the iron-blooded ship girls.

After joining the port, Bismarck's personality is no longer as cold as before, but more humane. The iron-blooded little lolita have long regarded Bismarck as their idol and trust him immensely.

"Little ones, you've worked hard. Go take a bath and have a good rest in the bathhouse. Prince Eugen and the others have already prepared dinner in the cafeteria."

Bismarck coaxed the group of little lolis with a smile on her face, but she was always observing Lin Lan who was getting off the boat.

Hmm? Why does this man look so familiar?

Bismarck was somewhat suspicious. At this time, Leonie, the usually quiet and obedient girl, tugged at her clothes.

Bismarck half squatted down and touched Z46's head. Usually, Z46 would pull her clothes like this because she had something important to report to her.

"Lord Bismarck, we have found the commander."

commander?

Although the sound of the Z46 was not loud, it was like a thunderclap to Bismarck.

"Yes, Sister Bismarck, we found the commander!"

The U-boats also said very happily at this moment.

Bismarck stood up and looked at Lin Lan, who was walking towards her led by her sister and August, with a serious expression.

Chapter 10 Extra (I) Cold Night Early Morning

"Hey, hey, hey, wake up, wake up!"

"Well……"

"You bastard, this is the nth time you've fallen asleep on duty! Get up, fuck!"

With a sharp pain on the top of his head, Lin Lan woke up from the table in the office with red eyes and a daze.

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was a fat man wearing a red helmet and a reflective vest.

"Su... President Su."

Although his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, Lin Lan still struggled to stand up.

"Look at the time. It's already half past five. Where are the concrete pouring photos I took while on duty last night?"

The obese Mr. Su waved his cell phone in anger, staring at Lin Lan and growling viciously.

Lin Lan suddenly recalled that after he took pictures at the construction site last night, he wanted to go back to the office to use the wifi to send them to the work group, so he came back and sat for a while.

As a result, after he returned to the office, the warm air from the air conditioner made him feel so tired that he couldn't control himself.

After all, he hadn't slept for more than 30 hours, so he fell asleep right on the table.

"Boss Su, I took the photo. I'll be there soon..."

Lin Lan hurriedly tried to explain, but President Su just snorted coldly.

"You don't have to explain so much to me. Party A came to the site for inspection last night. Can you show me what this is?"

After saying that, the phone was handed to Lin Lan.

On the screen, there was a photo taken from the office door of him, sleeping on the table, with his cell phone in his hand, playing games on his own.

Lin Lan's face, which was already pale from working overtime for a month, became even paler at this moment, and cold sweat broke out on his back involuntarily.

“This, this is because…”

"Boom!"

The cell phone worth thousands of dollars was slammed hard on the table by the obese project manager.

"You said you are almost thirty years old, Lin Lan, why are you still addicted to this kind of childish game?"

"This project is a key project. I've said it before. If you don't want to do it, get out of here. There are plenty of people vying for it!"

"Do you think you are so cool just because you have passed the exam and don't take the company's rules seriously? Let me tell you, if you and the client catch you slacking off again, I will have someone fire you!"

A series of scoldings and saliva sprayed all over Lin Lan's face, with the lingering smell of alcohol.

Lin Lan said nothing, but silently endured the insults.

He knew very well that talking back at this time would only result in more saliva foaming at him, so it was better to remain silent.

After scolding Lin Lan for two or three minutes, the obese President Su was obviously tired of scolding, so he sat down on the table of other people in the office and waved his hand tiredly.

"I know you're a hard worker. Forget about your perfect attendance bonus this month. Get on the job and lead the morning safety meeting for the workers."

Upon hearing that his perfect attendance was deducted, Lin Lan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But seeing the fierce look in President Su's eyes staring at him, he suppressed his anger, closed his mouth, turned around to pick up the reflective vest and helmet on the chair, as well as his mobile phone which was still on the table, and walked out the door.

"You'd better uninstall that shitty Azur Lane game as soon as possible.

They just play games every day and don't think about making progress. Back then, our XX Bureau was in the mountains..."

Lin Lan walked to the door and gritted his teeth. He did not continue to listen to this man who was still immersed in the golden age of the industry reminiscing about the past glory. He pushed open the door and walked towards the construction site.

It was still dark outside in the early morning, with the air less than five degrees Celsius and small snowflakes drifting down.

"If I didn't have to pay off my debt to that stinky old man, would I be here to endure this bullshit?"

"You keep talking about grabbing nodes, but you don't even go to the scene, so you let your brothers work hard!"

Lin Lan walked towards the construction site under the traffic lights and kicked a stone from the roadside in frustration.

His mother died in an accident when he was a child, and his father suddenly became addicted to drugs in recent years. Not only did he squander all the family property, he also borrowed an unimaginable amount of money from relatives.

As the saying goes, a son pays for his father's debts. After the old man died in a drug rehabilitation center last year, his relatives naturally turned their attention to him to collect the debt.

Even if Lin Lan studied harder and worked harder, his room for advancement was still too narrow in this engineering industry that was already entering its sunset years.

Walking on the cold road, looking at the white mist exhaled by himself, Lin Lan couldn't help but wonder how long it had been since he had been to the city?

After thinking carefully for a moment, he remembered that it seemed to be during the Spring Festival holiday last year.

Shaking his head, Lin Lan didn't want to think about those troubles anymore and turned on his mobile phone.

At this point in time, even the big water monsters in the group who drive every night have become silent.

In the cold early morning, the white-haired girl on the phone screen gave him a warm smile.

Only at this time, looking at his own port area, could Lin Lan feel a trace of warm comfort in his already cold heart.

After staring at the girl on the phone screen for a while, he smiled bitterly and said to himself:

"No wonder that Su guy looks at me with disdain every day. I seem to be becoming more and more like a otaku."

"But there is no way. Which woman would like her husband to be like me and not come home all year round? That's blind."

He skillfully replenished the food in the back house, put away the daily necessities that he could collect with one click, then returned to the homepage and turned off the phone screen.

Through the street lights and the reflection of the mobile phone after the screen was turned off, Lin Lan saw what he looked like now.

The man's face beneath the helmet is no longer young, and his beard is unkempt due to long-term neglect.

His eyes were bloodshot from staying up late for long periods of time, and his skin was dry and dark from working outdoors for many years.

"I am in this state now. It is too unworthy for me to be your commander."

Lin Lan looked at his cell phone, which had been turned off, and made fun of himself, as if this had become a habit of his.

He was once full of longing for his future, hoping to see a farther and better world.

Unfortunately, his profession, his family, and even his body can no longer support his dream.

After so many years since graduation, he has witnessed too much disgust and betrayal in the workplace and at home due to his family's decline.

Apart from this game that has been with him since school days, Lin Lan feels that everything he has seems to be no longer important.

Where is my future?

This question suddenly popped up in Lin Lan's mind.

He thought about this question as he walked on the road.

But when he thought of those distant relatives who were like evil spirits and debt collectors, and his colleagues who were isolating him in various ways, he couldn't help but take a deep breath of the cold winter air.

"Hey."

The man's sigh was drowned out in the cold early morning by the roar of the concrete pump truck and the buzzing of the vibrator at the construction site ahead.

During this period, I have to take care of a colleague in the hospital, so I may only update one chapter a day.

This chapter is a side story. As a reward for the recommendation votes you have given me, the content explains the background of the protagonist Lin Lan.

Chapter 11 Bismarck

Bismarck and Frederick the Great had long ago issued an order to the Six East Sea Cities Alliance of the United States of Oran to find a commander.

Bismarck, more than anyone else, was anxious to find their commander.

As the leader of the Iron Bloods, she was burdened with an extremely heavy burden after the disappearance of her commander.

In order to avoid conflicts between camps in the port, under the advice of Frederick the Great, she took the initiative to lead the Iron Blood Fleet to leave the port and come to this new world to continue searching for the commander's traces.

The temporarily built Iron Blood Floating Island Fortress is the result of their hard work here.

After more than half a year of hard work, this fortress built with Siren reverse technology has finally taken shape.

The expansion of Iron Blood will not stop. In order to find the commander, she must obtain more resources and more intelligence.

But despite her efforts, there was no news from her most important commander.

Even Bismarck sometimes doubted, does that man really... exist in this world?

If so, why did the previous scenes seem like a dream?

If he was there, why could he leave so completely, as if... he had never existed in this world.
