Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1295: Weak Category V Threat
Lin Lan placed the Mind Cube on the snow and returned to the ambush position to confirm that everyone was in place. After the fire control radar locked the direction, he asked Miss D to remove the shielding force field covering the Mind Cube.

And at the moment when Miss D released the force field, a silent roar at the spiritual level filled with excitement and greed instantly resounded in everyone's mind.

"Don't be distracted! He is coming!

"As expected, this pollution source exists on a spiritual level and is attacking my synchronized moving coordinates with all its might!"

As Miss D's voice sounded in the communication channel, Lin Lan noticed a striking red light spot appeared on the weapon radar system, rushing towards the direction of the Mind Cube at high speed.

"The evil spirit is coming! I can sense the evil spirit coming!"

The anxious voice of the little sword spirit also sounded in his ears.

He used the battleship-level visual range provided by his weapon to look in the direction where the pollution source was rushing from, but he could see nothing except trees covered in snow.

But when he used the elemental vision, he suddenly saw clearly a hideous black and red centipede-like monster with a human face, controlling its tentacles to rush straight towards the Mind Cube in the middle of the snow.

Its appearance is so weird and twisted that it is definitely to the extent that people's sanity will drop sharply just by looking at it.

However, perhaps it has really become weak to a certain extent.

Compared with the Invisible Breath, the Source of Evil Omens, the evil cultivator who controlled Diloy in Nanzhou, and the fallen goddess projected by Gaotian Island in Liaozhou, this was the first time that Lin Lan had seen such a weak Type V threat.

But even so, he still didn't dare to slack off.

In their eyes, no matter how weak a Class V threat pollution source is, it is a nightmare-like terrifying existence for mortals.

"Everyone in position, 3, 2, 1...

"Fire!"

When the two were about to approach, Lin Lan immediately gave the order to open fire in the fleet channel.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a terrifying roar resounded in the originally quiet ice forest.

Large chunks of snow on the trees were shaken off, and the power of the ship girls' graduated ship-mounted main guns was fully revealed at this moment.

A huge gust of air arose around him, lifting most of the snow on the ground.

This was caused by the missile ship launches by the four Donghuang guided-missile girls around him.

Dozens of ship-to-ship missiles seemed to announce the advent of truth, and they hit the pollution source accurately at almost supersonic speeds, causing an explosion.

The roar of secondary guns after the main gun strikes and missile explosions was endless. At this moment, several Donghuang and Beilian ship girls showed him how valuable his training was.

Although they could not see the enemy directly, with the help of Miss D's radar guidance, they were able to accurately direct their firepower at the source of the pollution.

A sharp whistling sound was heard in the sky, and the next second, a series of high-temperature explosions from aerial bombs completely turned the area around the silently roaring invisible centipede monster into a sea of ​​fire.

This is Bomber Crew Aviation Strike from Bonhomme Richard.

The carrier-based aircraft equipment used by the aircraft carrier girl from the original world has been replaced with the graduation equipment in his port area.

The power of this aerial bombing was so great that even Fushun and Lingmin couldn't help but exclaim in the fleet channel.

Lin Lan was also shocked for a moment by the performance of the good man Richard in his first battle after changing into the equipment.

Before he traveled through time, this aircraft carrier girl had not yet been implemented in the game.

But just looking at the power of its aviation strikes, Good Richard has to start with an SSR gold-skinned aircraft carrier, and its strength can even be compared with that of a sea legend.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't waste any more ammunition, the signal from the unknown Class V pollution source has disappeared!"

Just as the girls were still unleashing fierce firepower from their ship equipment, Lin Lan also took out the long-range weapon, the Bortel anti-ship rifle, from the weapon system, intending to fire two bursts.

Miss D's voice announcing the end of the battle rang out over the fleet channel.

"Ah? No, it's over now?"

Harbin's voice of disbelief came immediately, and Fushun, who was loading the second round of missiles beside Lin Lan, also said in a daze:

"I didn't even see what the pollution source looked like! Isn't this too fragile?"

"Are you idiots? I just told you that the source of pollution was already starving to death!"

Under the gaze of Lin Lan and the girls, Miss D's pale body floated and rushed towards the sea of ​​fire and smoke, and with a wave of the metal sickle with white flames, she dispersed the smoke and flames. The snowy ground that originally had trees and shrubs had been melted into a large pit by the continuous bombing.

Thanks to the protection of Miss D's cutting ability, the Mind Cube was transferred back to Miss D's hands just before the first round of main gun attack.

"Be careful, there may be a trap. We didn't use the elemental module. This Category V threat is indeed too fragile."

Although Miss D has confirmed that the source of pollution has been cleared, Lin Lan still feels that it is going too smoothly.

He used his elemental vision to vigilantly observe Miss D's surroundings, including the area where the centipede-like high-dimensional monster was located, while questioning Miss D at the same time.

"Stupid assistant! Not all Category V threat pollution sources have convergent evolution with the source of bad omen and can have the same high cube resistance as the source of bad omen!"

Miss D turned around and said, and Mercury Memorial Meta also laughed at them in the fleet channel:
"The Omen Source and the Invisible Breath are probably the most common Type V threat pollution sources we encounter~
"But to be precise, these two pollution sources are pollution sources specifically targeted at ships~
"The source of bad omen originally came from that primordial world. As for the invisible breath... do you still remember what Akagi from the Sakura Empire did with it?"

Lin Lan certainly knew what the Mercury Memorial meta meant.

In the game's plot, Amagi was already dead at the beginning, which caused Akagi to go crazy for a while, intending to use the invisible breath in the Omiya Sacred Tree to revive Amagi.

If it weren't for the subsequent plot in which he, as a player, personally led the ship girls of each faction to resolve the disaster, I'm afraid Akagi would have dragged the entire Sakura Empire into an abyss of no return.

"I see. Then Category V threats aren't that big of a deal.

"After all this time, aren't we just like the heroes in the game who face the devil in the Novice Village?"

As they were talking, Lin Lan had already taken off his military uniform and came to Miss D with the girls.

Fushun proudly admired the heavily bombed battlefield, used a vivid metaphor to describe it, and asked curiously:
"Commander, you should be able to see what the monster looks like. Can you tell me about it?"

After hearing what Fushun said, Changchun, Lingmin, Xiongmeng and Tashkent also looked at him curiously.

Lin Lan didn't expect Fushun to be curious about the monster.

Thinking of the giant centipede with a strange human face, he pinched Fushun's cheeks and replied to the girls with a smile:

"I think it's better for you not to know, otherwise you will have nightmares at night."

When he finished speaking, Miss D sighed and said:
“Although your example from Fushun has some truth to it, we must not underestimate other Class V threat pollution sources.

"Assistant, since your consciousness was held hostage by X before, you should understand the origin of the Category V threat and how difficult it is to deal with."

In response, Lin Lan and the girls around him nodded.

These high-dimensional monsters, which were born from the destruction of various civilizations at a higher dimensional level, may indeed have differences in strength, but it is not as easy to eliminate them as Fushun said.

The fact that they were able to end the battle so easily this time can be said to be a lucky break.

The pollution source itself is so weak that it can't even release the ability to distort reality - celestial phenomena.

However, the Type V threat of ocean blockade faced by the four major camps in the port area is not so easy to eliminate.

After all, those Category V threats were brought to this alien world when the source of evil came. Being able to control the nightmare fleet was enough to show how difficult it was.

Fortunately, Steliancus, Tempalans, Hermitage and Purification are all in the home port and can effectively help his ship girls fight against these high-dimensional monsters, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Antix's original name was ANTI-X, which meant an AI system that fights against the invasion of the mysterious enemy X.

Facts have proved that Miss D, the God of Death of the arbitration agency, can indeed be called the MVP of this battle.

However, when Lin Lan thought of this, his expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

"Anti-X, Anti-X...ANTI-X."

He repeated the word over and over in his mouth, realizing something he had never thought about before.

According to what he knew from the plot of the game, when the earliest ANTI-X, Ling, was created by Osta, the Richard incident had not even happened in the original world.

Although there are occasional frictions between the Forward Front and the Oceanic Federation, they are limited to peaceful competition at the level of cube technology and economy, and are not even as severe as the bipolar Cold War on Blue Star in the last century.

At that time, the original world had almost reached a mature stage in the use of Rubik's Cube energy, and Enterprise Meta and Good Man Richard had just been created by Dr. Angel using the Mind Cube.

In such a prosperous and peaceful era, why did Aosta...

Will the Rubik's Cube artificial intelligence system designed based on the KanColle's mind be named ANTI-X?
