Chapter 159 Breaking into the Mirror Sea (3200 words)
"Micro-layer mixture... But the builder was obviously completely destroyed before. How could it reappear?"
Hearing the familiar name of the enemy mentioned by Lin Lan, all the ship girls around suddenly realized, but what followed was deep doubt.
Hearing Aegirn's question, Lin Lan also recalled the plot of the previous game activities.
It is true that he basically skips the active plot in the game and goes straight to the level.
But many of the plots of these activities were what he saw when he was bored and watched teacher Qiqizi’s plot summary video on the pink website.
Therefore, he naturally understood why his ship girls would say this.
The Builder made his first appearance in the White Eagle camp. In the event story called "Microlayer Mixing", he dealt an extremely serious blow to White Eagle.
The so-called micro-layer mixture is exactly the sea mist released by the builder's special ability.
She can use this white sea mist to surround enemies, and the trapped enemies are basically impossible to crack.
Before knowing about this ability, the builders played around with the ship girls from each camp.
Until the end in the game's event story "Rainbow Finale".
In order to completely defeat the Builders, Frederick the Great summoned the iron-blooded High Seas Fleet to join forces with players, elites from various camps such as White Eagle, Beilian, and Chongying, as well as scientific research ships.
Even in the end, if it weren't for the Scharnhorst meta that Huten brought back from other experimental worlds to join the battle, I am afraid that everyone together would not be able to defeat the builder.
The final chapter of the plot is that the builder's core data tower of consciousness in Scapa Flow was completely destroyed.
The reason why Lin Lan was not surprised at all when he learned that the builder was still alive after traveling through time was because of the hidden plot at the end of that event.
The builder's ontological consciousness was about to dissipate, but was intercepted halfway by Helena meta hacking into the data tower.
Only he knows this. I am afraid that none of the ship girls in his port area know about this except the meta-turned Helena.
But all the above is ultimately just the plot of the game.
Now that he has come to another world and met the real sirens and wives, he cannot guarantee whether the plots of these past games are really authentic.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Lan responded to Egil's question:
"Perhaps, the Siren still has the builder's body data, and maybe it can create a new builder."
"I see, you are worthy of being a commander."
There was some recognition in Egil's voice. Lin Lan's words made sense. After all, sirens were like this.
But soon, as the flagship of this fleet, Egil raised a new question:
"Commander, I tried to contact Hu Teng and the others. Sure enough, surrounded by this rich micro-layer mixture, the communication system has malfunctioned."
"Should we keep moving forward, or should we retreat the same way we came?"
Lin Lan's expression did not change when he heard what Egil said that communication had been cut off. This was expected.
As for whether to continue moving forward or return the same way...
After Lin Lan considered for a moment, he quickly made a decision and said into the communicator:
"So many sirens have appeared inexplicably, and their target must be Dongyun City. In this case, there is no need for so many of us to be timid. Let's go to Dongyun City first to see what the sirens are up to."
"After Hu Teng and the others find out that we have lost contact, they will definitely increase their vigilance and launch an attack on Dongyun City as originally planned. By then, even the builders will not be able to maintain such a large area of micro-layer mixture."
After thinking twice, Lin Lan still did not choose to retreat, but decided to go to Dongyun City first.
He did not believe that the Siren would surround the waters of Dongyun City with a micro-layer mixture for no reason. The Siren definitely had a big plan.
Once the Siren achieves its goal, it will probably be more difficult to attack Dongyun City again.
Moreover, the surrounding sirens did not attack them, which also confirmed that the builders were not aware of them yet.
After all, it was impossible for the Siren to know that he had gained the ability to see through the elemental vision of the microlayer mixture.
After Lin Lan gave the order, the Iron-Blooded Ship girls did not question anything and immediately carried out the order.
They were already very familiar with the battle with the siren, this was just a special encounter.
With the commander by their side, their backbone is there, without any confusion or fear.
All the ship girls controlled the ship's suit, and with the help of elemental vision, they walked cautiously towards Dongyun City through the thick sea fog.
Keeping the elemental vision open will undoubtedly consume mental energy, let alone sharing it with so many people.
But Lin Lan sat on the chair and stared at the radar screen of the command ship, as if it had no influence at all.
His mental power recovery speed was directly enhanced to the extreme by him thanks to the large number of skill points converted from the Mental Cube.
This amount of consumption is far from equal to the recovery speed of his mental power.
"Even though we passed by these sirens, they still didn't attack. They are really like mechanical creations."
Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh as he watched his command ship and ship girls passing around the Siren on the radar, but the Siren remained silent and motionless.
"However, what exactly does Siren want to do? Is there anyone in Dongyun City who wants to cause big trouble with Siren?"
Lin Lan casually pulled the chair in the cabin and sat down in front of the radar screen and tempered glass window, thinking about the Siren's purpose this time.
He quickly thought of this possibility due to the previous experience of Ming Muhan, the Tomahawk military general agent in Yalang City, and the monster Abbott who claimed to be the Demon King's Army in Lihu County.
"Siren, what is your purpose in this world..."
As he kept thinking, he suddenly discovered that the sea fog outside the window in front of him was gradually becoming thinner.
Calculating the distance, he was about to reach the shore of Dongyun City at this time.
I don’t know what Dongyun City looks like now, but there are still no merchant ships or cargo ships in the surrounding sea.
Just when he was about to give the order to dock, the voice of the little Lolita Z23 who was sailing at the front suddenly came from the communicator:
"Commander, the edge of the mirror sea appears on the sea ahead!"
After hearing Teacher Nimi's words, Lin Lan immediately stood up and looked out the window.
He canceled the elemental vision. On the sea not far in front of their fleet, after canceling the elemental vision, he could instead see a rich mixture of white micro-layers, firmly wrapping the coast of Dongyun City.
This sea mist seemed to be firmly sealed by a transparent barrier, with not a trace leaking out.
"Double fog? What is the siren doing?"
The fleet slowly stopped at the edge of the mirror sea area surrounded by fog.
"Following the transparent sea fog on the outside, there is actually an overlapping area of sea fog and mirror sea inside? And this range..."
Lin Lan's face sank as he looked at this large white micro-layer mixture superimposed on the mirror sea area, covering a large area of sea area and a large area of land.
"The entire Dongyun City has been completely enveloped in the mirror sea. The Siren is really making a big move this time."
It hasn't been long since he last came here. Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, Dongyun City has become like this.
"Obviously Dongyun City is still guarded by a large port area and chess pieces and warships, but I didn't expect that the place has already fallen without any news coming out."
"Everyone, stay close to the command ship and enter the mirror sea with me. If you find any abnormalities or discomfort, report it immediately."
Now that we are all here, we are not far away from exposing Siren's conspiracy.
After giving the order to the ship girls, Lin Lan announced that everyone should enter the mirror sea together.
After receiving the reply, Lin Lan watched the command ship get closer and closer to the mirror sea and the white fog, until he completely entered it.
Originally, he thought that what greeted him would be a thick fog that made him unable to see his fingers.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the mirror sea, his vision suddenly became extremely wide.
The surrounding fog disappeared, but on the coast in front of everyone, it was not Dongyun City at all.
Instead, under the clear sunshine, it was already in pieces, with black smoke and explosions constantly coming out...the ruins of an ancient city in the style of Donghuang!
This astonishing sight made Lin Lan's eyes widen, and he even opened his elemental vision.
But he soon discovered that this was indeed an ancient city shrouded in flames of war.
On the surrounding sea, large pieces of wooden warship wreckage were burning, and on the sea behind him, a steel fleet was exchanging fire with a large fleet of wooden ships.
Obviously, according to common sense, how can a wooden ship be the opponent of a steel battleship?
But the fact is that Lin Lan was stunned to see that the main gun fire of this steel fleet was actually blocked by the wooden ship without causing any substantial damage.
"Boom!!!"
Just when he was shocked by this completely unreasonable scene, suddenly there was a loud noise in the air directly above him that seemed to tear the entire world apart.
"Commander! Commander! Heaven! Look at the sky!"
Z1's disbelieving voice came from the communicator.
Lin Lan couldn't care less about his sore ears from the shock. Without saying a word, he rushed out of the cabin, came to the deck of the command ship, and looked up.
And the scene in the sky he saw at this glance directly exceeded any imagination he had ever seen in his life.
In this clear sky, there was actually... a one-armed white mecha that was as huge as several floors high!
This white mecha holds a terrifying huge energy light blade in one hand. Under the airflow of the huge mechanical wings behind it, it chases and slashes the enemies in front at high speed.
This enemy was very small compared to the huge mecha, but when Lin Lan looked carefully, he discovered that this enemy was actually an ordinary person holding a one-handed sword!
And such an ordinary person can actually move in the air, and can even confront the energy lightsaber of this one-armed mecha that is dozens of times larger than his body!
What a monster this must be!
In other areas on the sea and in the sky, there are at least three scenes of high-altitude battles between the physical body and the mecha.
In the sky above Lin Lan, the fierce battle quickly came to an end.
Countless cannon holes suddenly appeared on the shoulders of the huge mecha, and dozens of small arcing missiles were fired at the enemy in front of them.
But what was originally a certain death situation for this ordinary person was actually accompanied by a cyan sword light that could almost cut through the sky and directly explode all the missiles!
And the cyan sword light did not dissipate. With one strike, the huge mecha was cut in half and fell directly from mid-air!
And this shocking sword light made Lin Lan immediately recognize where this place was.
"Could this be... the battlefield between the United States of Oran and the Natlan Empire? But how is that possible!"
