Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1130: Yunze City Reconnaissance and Rescue Operation (3000 words)
The first piece of information is that except for the Python Demon Tribe, all other demon tribes in the Yunze Wetland have now lost contact.

And all the tribesmen she sent out never returned.

After the initial surprise, Lin Lan quickly calmed down.

After all, even the Wan Du Sect has fallen into the hands of evil cultivators, and Qu Liuxia is the only surviving elder of the Wan Du Sect.

This is enough to show that the Category V threat has definitely spread to the interior of the Yunze Wetland.

What really moved him was the second piece of information about Yunze City that the old python demon woman told him.

“The area between Yunze Wetland and Yunze City is covered with black sticky matter that is filled with an ominous aura.

"I went to explore the surrounding area two days ago. Not only did my spiritual sense not enter that black area, but there was even a thunderous roar coming from the direction of Yunze City."

This piece of information was undoubtedly bad news for Lin Lan, which could not be worse.

When Mercury Memorial meta came to Changliu County, he had already told him that the capital of Qinglin County had been breached and the Qingxu Sect had been wiped out.

There is no doubt that no city or sect in Natlan will be able to survive the joint attack of the evil cultivators and the nightmare fleet.

He was even a little worried that the Natlan Imperial City would also be destroyed by the evil cultivators.

In his opinion, the thunder coming from the direction of Yunze City was most likely the sound of the Nightmare Fleet opening fire and attacking the city.

After saying goodbye to Qu Liuxia and the old python demon woman with a serious face, he returned to the room and told everyone about this matter.

"Teacher, do we need to modify the route to bypass the X erosion area?"

Good man Richard stroked his chin and asked him thoughtfully.

According to the original itinerary, they will arrive at the edge of Yunze Wetland tomorrow afternoon, close to the X-erosion area.

Since Yunze City has fallen, they can only think of another way to leave Yunze County from another route.

While Lin Lan was lost in thought, Miss D also gave more professional advice:

"Assistant, according to comprehensive data calculations, the probability that the Natlan people in that city can resist Category V threat pollution is less than 1%!
“You don’t have to worry about Mercury Memorial meta, she’s not a fool, she’s an old fox!
"If she finds out that Yunze City has been invaded by a Category V threat, she will definitely guess that we will choose to take a detour!"

Miss D thought he was worried that he would not be able to merge smoothly with the Mercury Memorial meta, so she kindly made some supplementary remarks.

"It's not the Mercury memorial meta that I'm worried about."

Lin Lan sighed.

Mercury Memorial expressed for him exactly what he was worried about:
"Lingmin and Kirov are still missing. Maybe they happened to go to Yunze City and are trapped and waiting for our rescue."

That’s right, what Lin Lan was really worried about were his two Northern Alliance ship girls whose whereabouts were still unknown.

After all, Yunze City is not far from Duanzhou River.

It is very likely that Kirov and Lingmin went to this once prosperous county town in order to collect intelligence as quickly as possible after breaking out separately.

"Comrade, Tashkent thinks we still need to conduct a reconnaissance around Yunze City."

The purple-haired destroyer girl looked at Lin Lan with a pair of ice-blue eyes and said seriously:
"If Kirov and Lingmin were in Yunze City, it might not have been conquered by X yet."

Xiong Meng also slapped his head at this time and excitedly explained the reason to him:
"That's right! If Lingmin and Sister Kirov were both in Yunze City, they might have been able to hold out until we got their support!

"Lingmin is a talented mechanic of the Northern Union, and Sister Kirov is a warrior who can bring hope to those around her even in desperate situations!"

The fierce words made Lin Lan nod seriously.

Even without fierce explanation, he was very clear about the personalities and abilities of his two Northern Alliance ship girls.

Lingmin is an expert ship girl at the Xinghai Base in his port area.

This lively and cheerful destroyer girl always calls herself a genius, but her ability is completely in line with the title of "genius".

Lingmin is not only proficient in mechanical technology that is no less than any other Iron-Blooded Ship Girl, but her scientific research ability and inspiration are also on par with the two little inventors of White Eagle and Sardinia, Ingraham and Leonardo da Vinci.

As for the first Pr.26 Kirov-class light cruiser, Kirov...

This light cruiser girl, known as the "Unprecedented Country and Son of Liberty", is a great warrior of the Northern Alliance who does not know what giving up means.

He had no doubt that if Kirov was in Yunze City, he would organize the local Natlan people to fight to the death against the evil cultivators and the Nightmare Fleet.

Thinking of this, he has made a decision.

"No need to wait until tomorrow. I will ask the Suzaku clan to borrow a flying spiritual vessel and we will set off to Yunze City for reconnaissance."

He looked around at everyone in the room and said seriously:

“I have a way to confirm whether they are in Yunze City.

"If we don't find them, we will take a detour and leave Yunze County from another direction."

After that, he turned his gaze towards the explorer:
“Explorer, you and Little White Tiger stay on the Shenxing Boat and follow the original route with the fleet to approach Yunze City. Be prepared to receive communications from the Death Bridge at any time.

"If Yunze City has not been lost, after we resolve the crisis, you can have Lang Yuexi bring the fleet directly to Yunze City."

The explorer was about to say something with a worried look on his face, but Lin Lan smiled and touched his head. "Don't worry, we won't act stubbornly."

"...Well, Commander, be careful."

The short-haired white-haired executor girl, whose forehead he gently stroked, finally responded softly and chose to believe him.

So he brought a group of people to the deck of the Shenxing Boat and found Ji Rong and Lang Yuexi.

After briefly explaining the relevant matters to the two of them, he declined Ji Rong and Lang Yuexi's applications to join the group.

After all, the combat effectiveness of the Nightmare Fleet's anti-aircraft guns and carrier-based aircraft is not something that the Extreme Warriors and Suzaku can match.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls using anti-aircraft guns to destroy the Yuanying Realm Extreme Masters without any harm, and he knew that even if Suzaku and the Extreme Masters went along, it would only increase casualties.

However, he saw that Lang Yuexi seemed very negative, so he smiled and comforted the little Loli:
"Don't think that you will have nothing to do from now on. I have an important task to give you.

“If Yunze City has not fallen yet, even if we eliminate the evil demons and evil cultivators from outside the region, there will definitely be a large number of casualties in the city after several days of fighting.

"Go find Chu Miaoyin and Qu Liuxia, lead them to form a medical rescue team, and make preparations for a large-scale rescue tomorrow."

After hearing what he said, Lang Yuexi's eyes were filled with fighting spirit again, and she nodded solemnly in response.

Not sure if it was Lin Lan’s illusion, but he always felt that something was not right with this young little girl since she left the Suzaku clan.

From Tashkent and Xiong Meng's description, he learned that Lang Yuexi had displayed leadership skills comparable to that of a commander-in-chief of an army that day.

Before this, he had discovered that almost all the Natlan people and extreme people would feel inexplicable admiration after coming into contact with Langyuexi.

Even those whose cultivation is higher than Lang Yuexi's limit will always unconsciously use respectful titles when talking to Lang Yuexi.

He even saw the general and the county magistrate of Changliu County asking Lang Yuexi for advice on military tactics and the art of mortal management more than once.

If he was not absolutely sure that Lang Yuexi had not practiced any martial arts to maintain her youthful appearance, he would really doubt the real age of this little girl.

After leaving the Suzaku Clan, he noticed that Lang Yuexi's personality became quieter and less talkative, and he was always alone on the deck of the Shenxing Boat, staring at the sky in a daze.

Only when he arranged for her to do something would Lang Yuexi come back to her senses and smile brightly again.

Therefore, Lin Lan felt that after returning from Yunze City, he must have the opportunity to ask Lang Yuexi alone whether he had any worries.

After saying goodbye to Lang Yuexi and Ji Rong, whose faces were filled with worry, he took the ship girls and Miss D onto the Flying Fire Shuttle and sped up his flight towards Yunze City.

The speed of the Flying Fire Shuttle at full speed is almost twice as fast as that of the Divine Boat.

In order to get to Yunze City as quickly as possible, Lin Lan once again used the top-grade spirit stones as fuel for the formation.

When it was around six in the evening, with the help of the orange afterglow of dusk, he noticed that the terrain below had finally changed.

The endless dark blue swamp and white miasma gradually disappeared.

In its place was muddy, wet, dark brown earth.

They finally arrived at the edge of the Yunze Wetland.

But Lin Lan felt no joy at all about the natural scenery of Natlan.

the reason is simple.

"Wow! Such a large-scale Category V threat contamination...Assistant, are we really going to go in?!"

Along with Miss D's exclamation, Lin Lan and the four ship girls saw in front of them that the sky, which should have been dyed orange-red by the setting sun, was covered by thick black clouds.

Looking closely, these black clouds seem to be slowly wriggling, as if they have life, which is disgusting.

"No matter what, we have to go around Yunze City."

Lin Lan took a deep breath and replied firmly:

"My hero skills can prevent the Fire Shuttle from being corroded in the contaminated area. As for the Nightmare Fleet, Miss D, I'll leave it to you to guide and evade it."

"Okay, okay! Fortunately, the radar device of the Shadow of Death is at least of the arbitration agency level. The radar device of the experimental agency cannot meet your requirements in the contaminated area!"

The pale Miss Death complained to Lin Lan helplessly.

After a few minutes, the Flying Fire Shuttle finally left the Yunze Wetland and was getting closer and closer to the dark polluted area.

But just as Lin Lan stood up and was about to use elemental power to wrap the Flying Fire Shuttle, his movements suddenly paused.

Not only was he stunned, the four ship girls and Miss D also ran to the front of the flying fire shuttle and looked at the black area in front of them in disbelief.

"Boom...Boom..."

The dense explosions sounded like muffled thunder, faintly coming from the direction of Yunze City across the contaminated area.

This Natlan city has been besieged by a Category V threat for several days...

It has not been lost until today!
