บท 63: Chapter 63: Reunion with a Familiar Face

Dark clouds blanketed the entire Lihu County.

In the Inner District of Lihu County, the clean and prosperous roads stood in stark contrast to the gray, dusty streets of the Outer District.

The most prominent building in the Inner District was the tallest one, with a huge seagull logo on it—the Government Affairs Building.

A thin, middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a luxurious suit slowly stepped out of the elevator and into the first-floor office area.

The moment he appeared, the previously bustling and noisy office instantly fell silent.

Everyone held their breath and hurriedly focused on their work.

Within seconds, the only sounds left in the office were the man's slow footsteps and the clacking of keyboards.

He walked up to the desk of a chubby official, hands behind his back, and spoke in a soft but sinister voice as if talking to himself:

"Have the Liao Province scum from both the Inner and Outer Districts been dealt with?"

"Coun—county chief..."

"How many times have I told you to call me 'Your Excellency, the Agent.'"

The chubby official's words were cut off.

The man, the Tian'ou Group's agent in Lihu County, had a chilling aura that made the chubby official tremble instinctively.

"Your Excellency, the Agent," the official stammered, "all the Liao Province people from both the Inner and Outer Districts have been sent to the large factory near the docks."

"They were supposed to be executed by noon today, but..."

"But what?"

The official was interrupted again, and even though it was just a casual question, it made every hair on the official's body stand on end.

The rest of the office staff stopped typing, shaking in fear and breaking into cold sweats.

"You know I don't like the word 'but.'"

Hearing this, the chubby official's face turned pale with despair.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance to explain," the agent said softly.

The chubby official, like a drowning man grasping at a lifeline, immediately continued:

"The workers assigned to the task said their old boss has returned, and under his influence, they haven't carried out the execution yet."

"And... they also drove away the supervisors we sent."

A low rumble of thunder echoed ominously, especially loud in the eerily quiet office.

Outside the windows, though it was not yet five in the afternoon, the sky was as dark as early evening due to the thick clouds.

"Send the mech troops now and make sure it's done before dark," the agent ordered. "I don't want to see a single Liao Province person alive in Lihu County by tomorrow."

Though his voice was soft, every word dripped with hatred for the Liao Province people.

"I'll—I'll get it done right away..."

The chubby official, drenched in cold sweat, quickly promised, but before he could move—

Bang.

A sharp gunshot rang out in the office. All the officials clenched their teeth, trembling in their seats, too terrified to make a sound.

It seemed they were all too accustomed to this kind of scene.

"Useless fool. You wait for me to ask instead of reporting this sooner?" The agent, still wearing his sunglasses, took out a purple handkerchief and gently wiped his silver gun.

"The next person in line for this position... well, figure it out yourselves."

"If I see any Liao Province people tomorrow, this office won't be necessary anymore."

With those chilling words, the agent's footsteps slowly faded as he left the office.

The body of the chubby official, still lying on the floor with a blood-red bullet hole in his forehead, began to disintegrate into dust, like a sponge being drained of water.

——

"Commander, this is the place. Based on tracking from Weser's aircraft, the man fled into this building," Mainz said to Lin Lan.

She, along with Lin Lan and Hipper, had arrived in front of an abandoned building. 

Mainz's long, sharp naval command sword was already drawn, and her cold, beautiful face was filled with murderous intent.

Daring to attack her commander—such a crime was unforgivable.

Lin Lan stared indifferently at the dilapidated building, about to enter, when a group of men in yellow vests, carrying various weapons, suddenly emerged from inside.

Mainz was about to summon her ship's equipment to open fire, but Hipper held up a hand to stop her.

"These guys don't seem hostile. Let's wait," Hipper said calmly, her dark bronze eyes observing the men.

Lin Lan also noticed that although the men were armed, they seemed to lack any fighting spirit.

What was going on?

As the group of men got closer and could clearly see Lin Lan's face, the leader—a burly man in a black leather jacket—suddenly widened his eyes in shock.

It was as if he'd just seen something unbelievable.

"Savior?! So, the commander from the docks is you?!"

With that shout, the burly man immediately knelt on the ground in front of everyone.

A man's knees are worth gold, but this man knelt without hesitation, as though kneeling before a reborn parent.

"Brother Zhao!" "Brother, what are you doing?!"

The other men in yellow vests were shocked to see their leader kneel and rushed to stop him, but no one could persuade him.

Lin Lan stood there, dumbfounded.

What was happening?

He didn't even know this man.

The man, who introduced himself as Zhao Long, looked up and saw Lin Lan's confusion. He quickly explained:

"Savior, it's me, Zhao Long! A few days ago, when the Sirens attacked passenger ship No. 188, I was a crew member on board. If it weren't for you and the shipgirls saving us, I and everyone else on that ship would have sunk to the bottom of the sea!"

His eyes were filled with deep gratitude.

He was clearly a man of strong emotions.

Hearing this, Lin Lan suddenly remembered.

Back when he'd met August and Tirpitz, some of the crew members had tried to kneel and thank him in the captain's cabin. One of them must have been this man!

At that time, Lin Lan had told them to evacuate the passengers, and he hadn't seen them since.

Hearing Zhao Long's story, Zhao Hu, his younger brother with yellow-dyed hair, stared at Lin Lan in disbelief.

The next moment, he, too, knelt before Lin Lan alongside his brother.

"Savior! Thank you for saving my brother!"

After Zhao Hu knelt, the rest of the men dropped their weapons and followed suit, all kneeling on the ground.

???

Lin Lan's mind was full of questions. Among the kneeling men, he recognized the five who had come to his port to capture Riko.

One of them, whose left cheek was hastily bandaged, was already pale and trembling with fear.

"Gangzi! Gangzi! Get out here now!" Zhao Long suddenly remembered that one of his men had told him earlier that they had shot at a Liao Province girl near the docks.

He had scolded the man for it, but now, his rage flared up again. He roared in a fierce voice:

"Gangzi, you actually dared to shoot at my savior's shipgirl?! I'm going to kill you today!"

He angrily grabbed a machete from the ground, raising it high above the terrified man.

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me, Brother Zhao! I was wrong, I really was!" Gangzi cried, trembling violently.

Lin Lan stood by, coldly watching, without stopping the scene.

Zhao Long lifted Gangzi up like a rag doll and threw him in front of Lin Lan.

"You had the guts to attack my savior? I'll cut you down right here!"

Zhao Long looked at Gangzi viciously and raised the machete in his hand.

"I was wrong! Spare me, Brother Zhao Long! I was really wrong, ahh...hh"

Blood gushed from Gangzi's reopened wound, and he curled up on the ground, closing his eyes in despair as he wailed helplessly.

At that moment, he deeply regretted his actions. If only he hadn't thought of his son, who had been killed by the Sirens' bombers during the sniper shot, he might not have pulled the trigger.

But now, it was too late.

Zhao Long's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but he still swung the machete down toward Gangzi's head.

"Brother, spare Gangzi! If anyone deserves to be cut down, it should be me! I was the one who gave the order to deal with those Liao Province people! Him shooting that Liao Province girl was the result of my orders!" 

Zhao Long's younger brother, Zhao Hu, suddenly stood up, grabbing Zhao Long's arm with teary eyes, trying to stop the blow.

"Killing in exchange for life—that's justice! I'll deal with you later!" Zhao Long, now blinded by rage, kicked his brother aside and raised the machete again.

This time, no one could stop him. Zhao Hu, struggling to stand, watched in despair as the sharp blade swung toward the wailing, terrified Gangzi.

Boom!

A thunderclap split the sky, breaking the somber scene.

"Mainz."

"Yes."

บท 64: Chapter 64: Purifier, Come Out and Take a Beating!

A silver-haired girl in black, with a cold expression, blocked Gangzi with her sharp naval commander's sword, intercepting the machete that was about to strike him.

Although Zhao Long was shocked, he felt a sense of relief.

He had thrown Gangzi out not only to apologize to Lin Lan but also with the selfish hope that Lin Lan would stop him.

After all, not everyone can watch someone who is unarmed die in front of them.

Just when he thought Gangzi's life was spared...

"Did you think I didn't notice your little scheme?"

Lin Lan's cold voice echoed, and the next moment, Mainz's long knife twisted sharply, slicing upward.

"Ahhh!"

Blood splattered across Zhao Long's face.

"Attacking the port area commander is a death sentence in Orlan, no matter the excuse."

"Adults must pay for their actions."

Mainz cleaved off an entire arm, which fell to the ground.

Gangzi let out a heart-wrenching scream, but the sharp blade was already aimed at his throat!

The blade was pressed against his throat, poised to pierce through with any further movement.

The screaming stopped abruptly. Gangzi's pupils contracted in terror as he looked at the knife's edge on his throat, just a few millimeters away from piercing it.

Even a few drops of blood had already seeped from where the blade was aimed.

"Since you perfectly carried out the orders I gave on the passenger ship and successfully evacuated the passengers, I'll give you a chance."

Lin Lan's merciless words made everyone shiver. They didn't realize that his cold demeanor had subtly changed under the influence of the iron-blooded shipgirls.

Unconsciously, he had become accustomed to wielding life and death authority with an iron fist.

Of course, this was only directed at his enemies.

He looked at Zhao Long coldly and said:

"You should know, this is my greatest mercy."

"Otherwise, the blade I'd have Mainz use would be for his head, and all of you."

Zhao Long only then realized the gravity of the situation.

He looked at Lin Lan as if seeing him for the first time, with no resentment, only deep gratitude.

After all, daring to shoot at a commander in Orlan meant death.

"Sir... if there's ever a need for our help, even if it means death, we won't defy you."

"Why are you still dawdling? Hurry up and stop the bleeding for this bastard!"

Seeing Mainz sheathe her sword, Zhao Long quickly yelled for help to tend to Gangzi's wounds.

Do you think I need your help?

Lin Lan snorted and asked Zhao Long:

"Now tell me, where did you get this rumor?"

Lin Lan chose not to kill Gangzi mainly because Riko was still alive.

Otherwise, even Zhao Long couldn't have stopped his killing intent.

These people were indeed just ignorant tools who believed the rumor.

The real culprits were the ones spreading the rumors.

But once Gangzi pulled the trigger, these people were doomed to be in a deadly conflict with Lin Lan.

This was their own choice.

Without Zhao Long's intervention, their deaths would have been solely their own fault.

"It's the county governor from Tian'ou Group, Zhang Wei."

Zhao Hu, biting his teeth, told Lin Lan the name with a look of anger.

If they hadn't believed the rumors spread by this county governor, Gangzi wouldn't have lost an arm.

They wouldn't have been targeted for retaliation by this terrifying naval commander.

He didn't hate Lin Lan because he would have done the same, or even worse, in Lin Lan's position.

So all his hatred was directed at this damned county governor who spread the rumors.

At this moment, a fierce wind began to blow through the once-heavy atmosphere, signaling the storm's approach.

Lin Lan, having gotten his answer, looked towards the inner district:

"Zhu Hai Commercial Association..."

At the new port area by the sea, a Siren fleet with over a hundred black and red mass-produced warships approached, bringing a storm to the river's mouth.

Among the fleet, there were at least a dozen humanoid Sirens like Explorers and Trackers.

Additionally, there were several heavy cruiser-class Lord-type humanoid Sirens.

"Hmph, why do we have to listen to this guy and work for free?"

In the center of the Siren fleet, a lively Siren girl with golden eyes, wearing a white cropped sailor outfit and a white ponytail, complained on the sea.

Her skin was as pale as the Constructor Lin Lan had seen before.

The lively girl pouted, clearly displeased with the trip.

She was mounted on a huge black and gold Siren armor resembling a hammerhead shark.

Countless gun barrels were mounted on the metallic hammerhead shark armor.

The shark's mouth had a massive golden cannon, giving off a chilling aura from afar.

Her identity was the Siren's high flagship—Purifier.

(Purifier)

A cold, mechanical female voice came from her communication device:

"This is an important experimental site. To achieve the experimental results, we must meet the special requirements of this particular specimen."

"Well~ Whatever, just scare off the weaklings in this port like before. So boring~ Observer too, why don't you let me go play with those guys from before?"

The Purifier complained to the communicator about the previous enemies she had encountered in this world.

"They no longer have that person, so they are no longer worth observing."

"Now, the important thing is to observe the specimen in this world's various experimental sites."

The Purifier huffed angrily:

"These stupid beings in this world, each possessing a brain cube after we castrated them, act like they've found treasure and become increasingly arrogant. Honestly, this experiment is so dull."

"I've recorded your comments and will relay them to the Observer."

"Don't!"

The Purifier's words were abruptly cut off as all the humanoid Sirens around her looked up. Dense anti-aircraft fire erupted across the sea, firing nonstop.

"Someone actually dared to attack us? Are you kidding me???"

The Purifier ended the communication, her golden eyes filled with disbelief.

Enemies daring to attack the Sirens in this world?

Before she could even consider who had such audacity, bombs began falling from the dark clouds.

Siren fighter planes were shot down one by one, like sitting ducks, no match for the incoming attack.

On the sea, numerous Siren mass-produced warships were destroyed in an instant, with several humanoid Sirens also taking heavy damage from the bombs.

"Boom!"

In the distance, thunderous artillery fire rang out. The next moment, two Lord-type Sirens were pierced through their armor by large-caliber main guns.

With a series of violent explosions, barrage shells rained down like black raindrops, heavily damaging several mass-produced warships.

The intense firepower and dense attacks made the entire Siren fleet unable to lift its head.

"How is this possible? According to the natural computation system, they shouldn't be here!"

The Purifier now knew who the enemy was. She stared in shock with her golden eyes, her cute face full of astonishment.

At this moment, a proud young girl's voice came from the direction of the incoming shells:

"Haha! Purifier, long time no see. Come out and take a beating already!"
