Chapter 198: Sea Lord of Natural Disasters
Fortunately, Lin Lan no longer worries about blacking out like he did last time in the Iron Blood Fortress with the power of the brave.
Even so, after a few rounds of beer and wine, Lin Lan was drunk.
The banquet ended late at night. After hugging and saying goodnight to the ship girls one by one, he finally returned to the office loft with the support of Z23, Shattered Dome and Blücher.
Even so, Lin Lan could see that Ron and others were very sorry that he didn't black out.
Fortunately, he was more skilled and didn't let Iron Blood's conspiracy succeed.
In the cold evening sea breeze, Lin Lan was much more sober when he arrived at the attic.
And Z23 was also ready to say goodbye to them in the courtyard, and at the same time, he stuffed a meta crystal into his pocket.
"Commander, this is what Lord Hutten asked me to give you. I'll go back first. Sister Blücher, please take good care of the commander tonight."
After saying this, Teacher Nimi looked at the unfamiliar white-haired petite girl with a somewhat puzzled look, and said goodbye to everyone without asking any more questions.
Watching Z23 go back, Lin Lan looked at the little sweetheart Blücher who was already impatient to support him, and sighed helplessly.
After the round-robin battle, is it a night battle?
Being a commander is sometimes not easy...
Then come directly.
——
United States of Oran, East China Sea of Western Continent.
On the sea covered by dark clouds, a large cargo ship sailing at night from the direction of the Eastern Continent is slowly heading towards Lanjiang City of the Western Continent.
Around this large cargo ship, six light cruiser chess pieces of the Navy Department are escorting on the sea.
In the crew rest cabin on the cargo ship, eight crew members wearing black vests of Tomahawk military employees were drinking and eating around a dining table under the dim yellow light.
"Hey, Lao Ma, Lao Ma, have you read the forum recently? It's said that there seems to be a ship girl force in Dongyun City that is more powerful than Siren?"
A man with a full beard poured a bottle of strong liquor into his throat and took a sip, and asked their captain with a red face.
The captain, who was over 50 years old and was called Lao Ma, swallowed the chicken leg in his hand fiercely and gave the bearded crew a white look:
"What does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with me? If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to support it, and it won't fall on our heads."
"Hey, Lao Ma, you can't say that. Among us, you are the tallest."
Another middle-aged crew member seemed to have eaten and drunk enough, half lying on the chair, tilting his head and laughing with a drunken mouth.
"Heh, so you short-sighted brats can't be captains."
Old Ma smiled contemptuously, picked up the wine glass at hand, and drank the white wine in the glass.
"You just want to make money by running the ship and squander it, leaving your life to God. Have you ever thought about why I always have to spend money on the Navy Department and hire cruiser-level ship escorts?"
"Why else, afraid of death, hahahaha!"
The drunk crew laughed.
"I think you deserve to be punished!"
Seeing that his group of ungrateful people actually said this to him, Old Ma immediately widened his eyes and cursed.
But although the crew said so, Old Ma didn't take it to heart.
He understood that these brothers who had shared their lives with him were deliberately angering him.
"Okay, okay, don't you all know that Lao Ma is doing this for safety reasons? Siren generally does not attack ships escorted by shipgirls on the route. Everyone knows this."
The bearded man before was Lao Ma's first mate. After everyone's whispers gradually died down, he wiped the oil from his mouth with a napkin and said carelessly.
"Heh, who told you that those monsters wouldn't attack if there were shipgirls escorting them? Then why don't I just hire a destroyer girl as a mascot?"
Lao Ma rubbed his red trough nose and looked out the window behind him at the girls escorting in the night.
"The ones in Dongyun City must be real humanoid sirens. You guys don't know how scary real sirens are."
"When I was in the navy, I saw with my own eyes that the sirens blew up the coastal defense fortress into ruins with one shot, and dense shells rained down from the sky."
"They look similar to the ship girls, but they are much scarier than the warship sirens you guys have seen."
After Lao Ma finished speaking, a young crew member who had just joined their group said in surprise:
"I didn't realize that Lao Ma was a navy?"
"Oh, otherwise how do you think I led you to avoid the big storm last time?"
Lao Ma snorted twice with pride, and then continued in a hoarse voice:
"Then These monsters cannot be defeated by destroyer girls alone. Only cruiser girls can bring me peace of mind, understand? "
"Think about it yourself. How many captains of the same period as me are left in the company now? They all don't want to hire ship girls to feed the sirens in the sea."
A fat crew member wearing glasses and half a chicken leg in his mouth asked Lao Ma curiously:
"Where did the sirens suddenly appear from? When I was in school, I read history books that there was no record of such monsters. It's too unscientific. "
"And the ocean is so big, it's impossible that only sirens dominate, right? What did those deep-sea monsters eat before?"
Before Lao Ma spoke, the bearded first mate rolled his eyes at the fat man.
"You fat nerd, didn't you hear what Lao Ma said just now, that those humanoid sirens can penetrate the reinforced concrete fortress with one shot?"
"No matter how powerful those sea monsters are, can they be harder than reinforced concrete?"
Seeing the fat man with glasses being criticized, the crew laughed out loud with gloating.
"Haha, you're right, there were really sea monsters in the sea before the sirens came out. I used to have to train emergency drills specifically for sea monsters in the navy."
Lao Ma put the empty wine glass in front of the bearded first mate, who immediately picked up a bottle of strong liquor and filled it for Lao Ma.
"Only the waters around Oran are safe."
"Like the Leviathans in the Great Trench of the Teaching Country, the sea ghosts in the Nine Islands of Liaozhou, the Natlan Empire..."
Just as Lao Ma was about to talk to his group of men, suddenly, the whole ship was shaken violently, interrupting his words.
The hull shook like an earthquake, knocking everyone off their chairs. The wine bottles, bowls, chopsticks and dishes on the table fell to the ground.
"What happened? Siren? Impossible, there is no sound of gunfire or torpedo explosion?"
The group of people in the crew cabin were knocked unconscious, and only Lao Ma was the first to react. He tightly held the fixed table leg beside him, with a confused look on his face.
At this time, the sound of gunfire from the ship girls came from outside.
Lao Ma didn't care about these men, he hurriedly looked out the window next to him.
And this sight almost made his heart stop for a moment.
Under the light of the gunfire, seven or eight extremely ugly purple tentacles were exposed in the deep sea.
These huge twisted tentacles with kelp hanging on them kept whipping the ship girls firing on the sea surface, and one ship girl was whipped away directly with just one blow.
And the main guns of the ship girls hit these tentacles, as if they were unscathed, without causing any damage to the tentacles at all.
"Ah!!! Then, what kind of monsters are those disgusting things?!"
Some crew members have seen the nightmare-like horror scene outside and screamed in fear.
"How could it be, how could it be, how could it be..."
Old Ma looked at these tentacles, as if he remembered something.
The yellow teeth in his mouth kept trembling and creaking because of fear, and big beads of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
"Old Ma! While those ship girls are holding this monster, let's quickly get on the submarine escape boat and run! It will be too late if we don't leave now! Old Ma!"
Amid the continuous gunfire and the violent shaking of the cabin, the bearded first mate barely maintained his balance on the ground and shouted at their captain.
But the next second, he saw the captain, who had always been steady, mature and omnipotent in their hearts, showing them a desperate expression as if he was trapped in a dead end.
Even when they were chased by the Siren Fleet, he had never seen the captain show such an extremely desperate expression.
"There is no escape, we are dead."
Old Ma's voice was like a death knell, ringing in the hearts of every crew member.
"Under the sea, we will only die faster."
"This is regarded as a natural disaster in the teaching country... Sea Lord Leviathan..."
As if to prove what Lao Ma said.
A violent steel twisting sound came from above the cabin.
An ugly purple tentacle with a force of ten thousand kilograms destroyed all the components on the cabin.
"Boom!!!"
This cargo ship belonging to Tomahawk Military Industry was directly cut in half from the center by the tentacle.
The large ocean-going cargo ship made of heavy steel was like a paper shell, and a loud noise resounded through the sea.
A few minutes later, there was no trace of large cargo ships and chess pieces on the sea.
Only a few thick purple tentacles that stretched out of the sea and twisted wildly were left, slowly retracting into the ocean.
