Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1142 I can only guarantee that my cooking skills are better than Ji An's (2900 words)
After strolling around outside the factory, Lin Lan also met the leader of the Ronghuo Sect who led a team to pay a visit.

This is an old man in the Nascent Soul stage with white hair and beard, but a sturdy and strong figure.

When they saw them, the leader of the Molten Fire Sect and the elders who accompanied him were still holding various mechanical maintenance tools in their hands, obviously they had just come back from work.

After Lingmin introduced the identities of both parties to each other with a smile, Lin Lan unexpectedly discovered that Luo Wengang's father and family elders were also among them.

Upon learning that the trial disciples led by Luo Wengang and Elder Su were safe and sound and were on their way to Yunze City after passing through the Yunze Wetland, the high-level monks of the Ronghuo Sect all showed joy on their faces.

"Ahahaha! Admiral Jiuhai, what a promising young admiral Jiuhai!

"He is able to lead so many mortals and monks from Nanzhou across the Yunze Wetland. These people are the seeds of the future continuation of Nanzhou!"

The leader of the Molten Fire Sect laughed out loud, his words revealing relief and excitement.

"My Molten Fire Sect has decided to officially join the Soviet Union. The monks from other major sects in the South Province who have gathered here these days have also all agreed that the Soviet Union is the future of Natlan after experiencing the siege."

Luo Wengang's father was a burly middle-stage Jindan realm expert. He smiled and said to Lin Lan and the others:
“Although Nanzhou was almost destroyed by the evil cultivators, as long as the people are united and the mortals and cultivators unite, Nanzhou will surely be reborn from the ashes in the future!”

Lin Lan looked at the group of Molten Fire Sect's ultimate warriors with shining eyes in front of him, and was also infected by this hopeful atmosphere. He smiled and nodded in approval.

Afterwards, he also asked the leader of the Molten Fire Sect whether this sect had any cooperation with the Oran United States.

In response to his question, the leader of the Molten Fire Sect generously chose to admit it.

In fact, this is not a secret. Hundreds of years ago, the Molten Fire Sect was one of the sects that had conducted technical exchanges with the Oran government.

The elderly sect leader even took out a yellowed photo and showed it to Lin Lan and others.

This photo was taken when the sect leader was young, taking a photo with many Molten Fire Sect monks and dozens of Oran people wearing Oran suits.

Behind them is a grand and tidy scene, like a newly completed industrial garden.

Everyone in the photo has a bright smile on his face, and the communication between two different civilizations is so harmonious.

"Hey, Oran."

Seeing Lin Lan staring at the yellowed photo in a daze, the leader of the Ronghuo Sect had a turbid look in his eyes and said with regret:

“At that time, all the sects in Southern Province had very deep cooperation with the Oran people, and even His Majesty the Emperor personally met with the President of Oran.

“No one expected that just a few months later, the imperial court and the state palace would suddenly order the various clans to massacre the Oran people.

"Overnight, the land of Natlan was flooded with blood. That's when I knew that Orlan's revenge was coming."

After saying that, the leader of the Ronghuo Sect turned around and took a deep look at the factory area that was still in operation:

“The Ronghuo Sect was already the largest sect in Nanzhou at that time, but I hid it from the imperial court and the prince’s palace, and ordered the sect’s disciples to escort a large number of Oran people to the coastal ports.

“Because of this, the Ronghuo Sect was forced by Yan Tiansi to be sent to the front line of the battlefield, which caused our sect to suffer heavy losses. From then on, we had to focus on refining weapons and were unable to compete with other sects.

"To this day, I still firmly believe that everything I did back then was correct, Evil Lord... Alas."

Lin Lan, Miss D beside him, and several ship girls naturally knew the reason why the Molten Fire Sect elder sighed.

Thanks to the inside information told by Ji Rong of the Suzaku Clan, they all knew that the Immortal Death War was actually instigated by the Evil King controlled by X in order to destroy Natlan.

This hundred-year war not only caused great suffering to the people of Natlan and the breeding of evil cultivators, but also caused Oran to suffer heavy losses and the government was seized by large commercial enterprises.

This is a war without a winner. The two countries in different worlds have been pawns of X from the beginning to the end.

Lin Lan returned the photo to the leader of the Ronghuo Sect.

What shocked all the Molten Fire Sect's Limiters was that he spoke in a firm tone:
“Although what happened in the past has already happened, I firmly believe that the Soviet Union in the future will eradicate the evil and free the emperor’s bloodline from the curse of killing gods.

“In Natlan at that time, there will no longer be royalty and exploiters. It will be a brand new Natlan where everyone is equal and works together for the future.

"This misunderstanding between Natlan and Orlan that has lasted for a hundred years will finally be resolved."

Hearing his powerful speech, all the Molten Fire Sect monks were stunned.

Although Lin Lan's words sounded like a fairy tale.

But for some reason, they all felt that the young Admiral Jiuhai in front of them was not joking.

"Admiral Jiuhai..."

As soon as the leader of the Ronghuo Sect opened his mouth, Lin Lan couldn't help but glare at him, interrupted him and asked:

"Still calling me Sir?"

"Comrade Admiral!"

The burly, white-haired Nascent Soul elder knew exactly what Lin Lan meant, and he immediately laughed and changed his address.

Afterwards, Lin Lan took this opportunity to tell the clan leader and Ling Min beside him about the order to abandon the city.

After all, he didn't know when the Nightmare Fleet and Diroy would attack.

Even though Yunze City repelled the siege of the Tianxie Alliance under the organization of the two Northern Alliance ship girls, it is still not a place to stay for long.

He had already made up his mind that after the spiritual weapon fleet arrived here, he would set off for Dongzhou in two days at most.

"Hmm... if we want to carry so many mortals and baggage, the Kirov airship is the only option."

After a moment's silence, the young mechanic from the Northern Alliance expressed her thoughts to Lin Lan: "The reason why the Kirov airship flies so slowly is mainly because it has to carry a large number of bombs.

"I will try to design a brand new Rubik's Cube Energy Accelerator Engine for the Kirov airship today, so that the Molten Fire Sect and the comrades in the factory can convert the ammunition warehouses in all airships into living warehouses today.

"This, combined with other flying spiritual weapons in the city, will definitely meet the needs of the commander!"

It is said that there is strength in numbers.

Lin Lan was originally a little worried because the number of Natlan people gathered in Yunze City now far exceeded his expectations.

But with the industrial capacity built by Lingmin, the talented Northern Alliance ship girl, he can rest assured.

The plan was thus decided.

The leader of the Molten Fire Sect promised to personally lead the sect's disciples to transform the Kirov airship and all the spiritual weapons in the city.

Lingmin stayed in the design office in the industrial zone, ready to devote himself to the design of the Kirov engine.

It was almost noon when Lin Lan, Miss D and several ship girls left the Yunze City Industrial Zone.

"Where are we going to have lunch later, Comrade-chan?"

Tashkent stretched and looked at him and asked.

"Of course I'm going back to the City Lord's Mansion and looking forward to Richard's cooking skills."

Lin Lan smiled and replied to the cute purple-haired Beilian girl.

When good man Richard heard what he said, his face turned slightly red, but a happy smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"Why don't we all help Richard make lunch together and give Lingmin and Kirov a surprise when they come back in the evening."

Mercury Ji Nian blinked and proposed to Lin Lan with a smile.

"That's a good idea!"

Lin Lan immediately agreed, and boasted with a smile:

"This is Natlan, I can teach you some Donghuang specialties."

"Oh, the commander is taking action himself! Yay!"

Hearing what he said, a gleam of anticipation suddenly flashed in the fierce eyes.

However, Shuixing Jiian deliberately showed a suspicious expression and asked Lin Lan playfully:

"Hey, dear commander, how does your cooking skill compare to Long Wu, Yi Xian and the others?"

"Ahem... I can only promise that I'm stronger than Ji'an."

Hearing this, Lin Lan replied with a guilty smile.

Comparing him with Long Wu and Yi Xian? What a joke!
Who doesn’t know that Longwu and Yixian are the Donghuang ship girls with the best cooking skills in the entire port area.

Aurora's cooking skills alone are far better than his, not to mention these two.

"Sister Ji'an? Well, Tashkent has never tasted her cooking."

Lin Lan's words made both Tashkent and Mercury Memorial fall into memories.

However, Xiong Meng had a bright smile on his face and said happily:
"Well, Sister Ji An is also the Donghuang ship girl, so her cooking skills must be top-notch!"

Seeing that Mercury Memorial and Tashkent both thought about it and expressed their approval, Lin Lan could only put on a smile on his face, but was secretly glad in his heart.

Fortunately, there is Ji'an, a heavyweight player in the Donghuang camp, to support him.

"In order to maintain this stereotype of our Donghuang camp, I can't lie, so I can only compare you.

"Don't worry, as long as this finger is here, your terrible cooking skills will never be exposed."

Lin Lan silently swore that he would do his best to cover for Ji An in the future.

Anyway, this kind of thing has already happened in the game's Spring Festival plot, so he has the experience, right?
But just as everyone was happily heading back towards the City Lord's Mansion and discussing what to make for lunch.

Although the bright midday sun was shining on her body, Lin Lan felt for some reason that the temperature around her was getting lower and lower.

Not only did he discover this problem, the good man Richard also exhaled, looked at the white mist exhaled from his mouth, and said strangely:

"Everyone, is the temperature around us getting lower and lower?"

Lin Lan and several others stopped and began to look around.

Many Natlan people on the street also had puzzled expressions on their faces, and looked up at the sun in the sky with the same confusion as them.

Miss D frowned, her pale eyes gleamed for a moment, and she spoke:
"Assistant! This abnormal cold air is coming from the Yunze Wetland in the west..."

"Yunze Wetland? Not good!"

When Lin Lan heard Miss D talk about the source of the cold air that dropped the temperature, he was stunned at first, and then his face changed drastically.

Being able to transmit cold air to Yunze City from such a far distance, there is no doubt that it was at least the person who had reached the limit of Natlan's Nascent Soul Mirror who took action!
However, there is no Nascent Soul expert who is good at ice-based skills in their team!
There was a problem with the spiritual weapon fleet!
