Chapter 204: Fierce Battle with Leviathan (3200 Words)

As we get closer to the cargo ship crash site mentioned by Feng Tao, the number of mass-produced sirens also begins to increase.

These mass-produced sirens are not like humanoid executors who will hibernate or retreat when things go wrong. Instead, they will attack mindlessly as long as an enemy enters the attack range.

Under Lin Lan's order, Z23, Mainz and others did not fire directly, but used torpedoes to secretly destroy the mass-produced sirens that were dangerous to the chess ship girls.

This move did not arouse the suspicion of Lu Yangshu and Qi Yue. After all, just by looking at the appearance of the torpedoes, it was difficult to tell the difference between their torpedoes and those of the chess piece ship girl.

Therefore, in the near-miss battle with a small number of siren mass-produced battleships, none of the chess ship girls were seriously injured.

Lin Lan and others also moved forward smoothly.

Due to the attack on the cargo ship, the voyage from the Eastern Continent to Lanjiang City was suspended. They did not encounter any civilian voyage ships along the way.

"Looking at the map, we should be almost at the location where the cargo ship crashed."

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yangshu took out his tablet and said to Lin Lan and Qi Yue. The tablet displayed a map of the nearby sea areas.

"What will happen if we go back without finding anything?"

Lin Lan looked at the empty sea around him and asked curiously.

We have reached the deep sea area here.

The cargo ship's signal disappeared last night, and since the ship girls Feng Tao was responsible for escorting have not returned yet.

Lin Lan, who had experienced a siren attack on a passenger ship before, knew exactly what this meant.

They just came here now, and there is a high probability that they will find nothing.

"Even if nothing is found, the rewards we deserve are still indispensable to us. We just need to try our best to clear away the remnants of the Sirens around us and ensure the passage of subsequent routes."

It was Qi Yue who answered Lin Lan. She looked at the endless ocean around her with calmness in her eyes.

This is why even if the crew's income is extremely high, it is difficult for Tianou Consortium to recruit crew quota every year.

Because in the ocean controlled by the siren, once something goes wrong, it is basically a matter of death.

Even if it is a submersible escape boat, the probability of escaping the sirens is very slim.

After listening to Qi Yue's words, Lin Lan sighed silently.

He originally thought that the two commanders who were traveling together would have submarine girls responsible for diving and salvaging, but it turned out that he still overestimated the Pseudo-Mind Rubik's Cube.

It seemed that he could only wait until these two people were sent away, and then let the wolves dive down to see if they could find the sunk chess piece ship girls for Feng Tao.

The reason why they don't do this now is that the wolves do not need to take action to clean up these mass-produced sirens. These two people don't know that U81 and the others are submarine girls.

Secondly, he didn't want to make up excuses for the existence of submarine girls.

You can't possibly say that the ship girl was affected by the power of the siren and even changed the type of ship. This is obviously unexplainable.

I stayed in this empty sea under the clear sky for more than two hours.

Apart from sinking a few Siren production cruisers, they expected nothing.

"Okay, let's start returning. We have... tried our best."

Seeing the sun in the sky beginning to turn westward, Lu Yangshu took the lead in suggesting a return in a heavy tone.

After hearing this, Qi Yue and Lin Lan also nodded slightly.

In the past two hours, they had basically completed the search around the crash location provided by Feng Tao.

Unfortunately, neither the cargo ship nor the ship girl can come back.

"Xiao Lin, you have to get used to this kind of thing in the future. Your port area is relatively close to this navigation, so there may be more rescue missions like this in the future."

Lu Yangshu saw that his junior brother seemed to be looking gloomy because he had not found any survivors, so he walked to Lin Lan and cheered him up.

"I know, thank you senior for your encouragement, I just can't accept it yet..."

Although Lin Lan was not at all uncomfortable with this ending, it was not as exaggerated as the sadness pretended on her face.

After being encouraged by Lu Yangshu, Lin Lan restrained his sad expression, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth like an inspired young man.

"Sooner or later, I will take back the ocean and let Oran's flag fly freely on the sea."

His words not only made Lu Yangshu look surprised, but also Qi Yue looked at him twice in surprise.

"Good boy, don't forget what you just said in the future."

Lu Yangshu patted Lin Lan's shoulder hard, with appreciation in his eyes.

Just as they were giving retreat orders to their respective ship girls, they were preparing to return home.

Suddenly, Lin Lan felt a strong sense of crisis welling up in his heart.

"Commander! Enemy attack! Under the sea!"

An unknown ship girl's exclamation rang out, and Lin Lan and others saw seven or eight huge dark green tentacles suddenly protruding from the sea around the yacht!

The movement of the tentacles triggered a huge wave, which instantly rocked the tiny yacht under their feet!

Almost at the same time as these dark green tentacles stained with seaweed appeared, all the chess pieces and ship girls aimed at the tentacles and opened fire at the same time.

"Boom!"

The explosions produced by the small-caliber shells and torpedoes all hit the tentacles, but did not cause any damage to the tentacles at all.

These tentacles were waving wildly, making people shudder.

"What kind of monster is this!"

Lu Yangshu was so shaken by the violent impact of the waves that he sat on the ground, dazed from falling, and tightly grasped the stair railing beside him. He waited for a long time while the world was spinning before he let out a shocked exclamation.

Qi Yue was even more embarrassed. She was unprepared and lost her balance under the sudden impact, sliding towards the edge of the yacht.

Fortunately, a strong arm firmly grasped her arm, preventing her from falling into the sea due to the instant tilt of the yacht.

Looking up, Qi Yue only saw the junior student in front of her grabbing the fixed dining table with one hand and saving her with the other hand.

Fortunately, the wave did not overturn the yacht directly. After tilting most of the way, the yacht quickly regained its stability.

"Leviathan..."

Lin Lan ignored Qi Yue's grateful eyes.

After letting go of Qi Yue, he looked at the tentacles in the sea that looked like devil's tentacles around him and whispered the name.

When he came to Lihu County from the Iron-Blooded Fortress to take up a post, he had seen this sea monster that should only appear in the trench of the Teaching Country.

After letting Leviathan escape that time, when his mobile phone had internet access, he frequently went online to check information about the sea monster.

After all, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. He has already had a premonition that ninety-nine percent of this monster that should not appear in the Oran Sea is related to the Siren.

It's just that during this period of time, he had never heard of Leviathan appearing anywhere again, so he gradually regarded that encounter as an accident.

At present, it seems that even if all the causes of sea crashes are attributed to the sirens, Leviathan has never left the Oran waters at all!

"Boom boom boom..."

The attacks of the chess pieces and ship girls are nothing more than scraping for Leviathan and are completely ineffective.

Lin Lan, who had already seen the scene of chess pieces facing Leviathan, did not expect to rely on these chess pieces and ship girls to repel Leviathan.

He rushed directly to the edge of the yacht and shouted loudly to the three wolf pack members and Weser who had jumped into the water below:

"Don't hold back, attack the tentacles with all your strength! Bring this monster's body up from the bottom of the sea first!"

Lin Lan turned around when he saw three cute little lolita riding shark costumes in the water giving him an OK sign.

Qi Yue and Lu Yangshu, who were all in a mess, slowly stood up. They looked around with pale faces. The terrifying tentacles raging in the sea shocked them so much that they couldn't speak for a long time.

"Just... thank you."

Seeing Lin Lan coming back, Qi Yue said her thanks with a pale face.

"Don't thank me yet. Control the yacht immediately and leave the tentacle's attack range. We are not out of danger yet."

Faced with such a crisis, Lin Lan no longer bothered to continue pretending. He swept away his previous speaking style and spoke to Qi Yue in a very concise tone. He then looked at Lu Yangshu:

"Senior Lu, ask your ship girls to withdraw from the attack range of the tentacles first. My ship girls are better at hand-to-hand combat and have greater mobility. Just let the ship girls cover behind."

The reason why he dared to say this was because he had already observed the current battle situation when giving orders to the wolves.

The three Z-drivers, including Teacher Nimi, were able to perfectly evade the sweeps and slaps of the tentacles, and they were obviously able to do so with ease.

As for other chess pieces and ship girls, they do not have this kind of mobility and reaction speed.

In just a few seconds, two chess pieces and ship girls were unable to dodge and were severely injured by Leviathan's tentacles.

"But……"

Lu Yangshu looked at his junior disciple blankly, obviously wanting to refuse, but was interrupted directly by Lin Lan:

"Stop it, if you don't want the ship girl to get hurt, just do as I say, and the same goes for you, Senior Sister Qi Yue."

Lin Lan exuded a decisive temperament that was completely different from before, which made the two of them feel at ease inexplicably at this moment.

After looking at each other, Lu Yangshu and Qi Yue chose to trust Lin Lan and took the time to run to the first floor of the yacht to perform their respective duties.

After all, both of them are port commanders who have experienced many battles with sirens.

In such crisis situations, they can naturally maintain a more stable mentality than ordinary people.

"Damn it, if the main fleet were here at this time, they could arrest this Leviathan on the spot and take him back alive to make a specimen."

Lin Lan thought to himself when he saw the two people getting off and walking to the edge of the slowly turning yacht again.

The chess ship girls have begun to withdraw in an orderly manner. The three little Z-drivers are attracting attacks from two or three tentacles, but there is no pressure at all.

The huge, ugly dark green tentacles carried a huge amount of brute force with every slap.

But under the effective restraint of the silver-haired Z-destroyer leader Z1, the scheming little Loli Z2 and the little blue-hatted teacher Nimi, the movements of these tentacles seemed so clumsy.

You know, the wolves have the buff skills for team attack, and the Z driver naturally has them too.

Z1, the silver-haired little lolita with handsome and unrestrained movements, is the leader of all Z-drivers and possesses a unique team-enhancing skill: Z-series Pioneer.

As long as she is present, she can greatly improve the artillery and maneuverability attributes of the surrounding Z-drivers.

Most of the Z-drivers in the Iron-Blooded camp originally had the skill of being proficient in armor-piercing projectiles.

Under the Z1 buff, the mobility and artillery damage can reach a level that is very impressive for a destroyer girl.

This resulted in the entire maritime battlefield becoming a stage for the three Z-drivers.
