Transmigrated into Azur Lane

On the deck, Ollie, carrying an extra-long fishing rod crafted by the Bree sisters, finally lost her temper after Firefly, who was more trouble than she was worth, released the third big fish she had caught.

Compared to the commander, who was so worried he couldn't even concentrate on building small boats, the little girl remained carefree as usual. It wasn't that they were immature or anything, but Lin Dong, unwilling to burden the children with too much stress, had already conspired with the ship girls to keep them in the dark about the severity of the situation...

The firefly, whose thought process was always different from others, just chuckled foolishly. Then, carrying her bucket, she moved closer to Ollie, wanting to continue waiting for the big fish she had caught. No one could know what she was thinking, just as ordinary people could not understand the world of the mentally ill.

Olik, of course, could no longer indulge this idiot. She snorted, threw her fishing rod on the deck, and turned away angrily.

Instead of feeling disappointed by Orik's departure, Firefly wore a fleeting, smug smile. She skipped off to where Orik had left, picked up her fishing rod, and began fishing with great enthusiasm. Who would dare call her a fool now?

Just as she was leisurely holding her fishing rod, facing the sea breeze, and wanting to savor another taste of the ocean to complete what she considered the pleasure of fishing, she suddenly coughed as soon as she opened her nostrils to inhale.

"Ugh... that smell again."

The smell of curry mixed with excrement made Firefly unconsciously loosen his grip on the fishing rod, his huge head drooping, his face ashen. What was bound to happen, had finally arrived...

Leaving the African waters, the Lin Dong sailed as if it were empty land, taking less than a day to cross the 1500-nautical-mile Arabian Sea at its extremely high speed, and headed straight into the Indian Ocean. The following day, the Maritime Bureau personnel finally returned to this war-torn region.

...

India, Mendebohm

"Lin Dong, you bastard!!!"

Standing on the beach, the Azure Dragon roared angrily upon seeing the massive warship on the horizon.

The news of the Sirens' return forced the Indian office to suspend its gem mining operations on Ceylon, and the ship girls from Sakura Empire, who were employed by the Maritime Bureau, moved to the Indian mainland with the main force.

The signal from the warship's consciousness made these Sakura Empire ship girls worry about their country. If it weren't for their good personal relationship with Lin Dong, they would have abandoned their post and left long ago.

As the massive Lin Dong finally came to a stop on the sea not far from the shore, the Sakura Empire ship girls, eager to return home, urged their already deployed ship rigging and raced impatiently towards the warship...

"If you had come any later, we would have gone back to Sakura Empire on our own."

As soon as he boarded the warship and saw Lin Dong's hateful face, Canglong punched him in the chest without saying a word.

"Oh dear... I risked my life to get here... You were way too impatient!"

Although Canglong held back and struck rather lightly, Lin Dong still felt as if his chest had been hit by a train, and the pain was unbearable.

"Azure Dragon!"

Feilong, the older sister, immediately shouted angrily when she saw her younger sister's neurotic behavior.

"Uh...where does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."

After being scolded by his sister, Canglong finally calmed down. He then casually raised his hand and grabbed Lin Dong's chest a couple of times, which was less like comforting him and more like taking advantage of him.

"abnormal!"

Lin Dong, who had a strong sense of integrity, immediately slapped away the groping hand that was coming from the dragon's body and scolded her for taking advantage of him.

"Tsk..."

The trembling dragon was utterly disgusted by this shameless scoundrel.

"boss"

Just then, Chen Yi, who had been waiting for Lin Dong and his group to return on the cargo ship, finally boarded the Lin Dong. After all, this behemoth was completely beyond the capacity of the dilapidated port of Mendebohm.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Looking at the lackey before him, whose skin was already showing signs of resembling that of an Indian native, Lin Dong couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement. If he hadn't taken this loyal dog with him by chance, his life would definitely not be as comfortable as it is now.

"I guarantee that the task you assigned yesterday will be completed by the day after tomorrow."

Chen Yi smiled faintly, humbly accepted his boss's encouragement, and then started talking about work. As the head of the firm, he already knew that the world situation was about to descend into chaos.

"I believe you."

Lin Dong had no doubt about the competence of his capable subordinate. His task was to urgently transfer the reserve supplies, originally hidden on various deserted islands, to Tanegashima. After all, the current turbulent situation was completely different from what he had initially planned. He no longer had the confidence to wage guerrilla warfare against the Sirens, who had amassed an army of at least hundreds of thousands. It was more sensible to remain holed up on Tanegashima for a while and wait for things to calm down.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Dong revealed the decision he had already made.

"There's nothing much to look after at Sakura Empire Agency right now. Make arrangements to bring your parents up from India."

With the Sirens' imminent return, the Sakura Empire's majority maritime illegal activities would naturally cease operation, leaving only some island-based businesses. In reality, for the now-powerful Maritime Bureau, these were negligible assets, hardly worth having. Therefore, after much deliberation, Lin Dong made this decision to appease this loyal dog once and for all.

"My two elderly parents are too old to travel back and forth anymore, so let them stay on the island..."

Unexpectedly, Chen Yi politely declined Lin Dong's offer. While he also hoped to reunite with his family, Lin Dong's suspicious nature made him hesitant to act rashly. Moreover, although India was an inland region, completely eliminating the risk of Sirens, the harsh environment, chaotic situation, and the covetousness of various powerful forces made him unsure of his parents' absolute safety once they arrived.

In comparison, with the formidable Sakura Empire navy and Lin Dong's protection, the elderly couple might actually be safer at sea. As for the safest option, Eastern Huang, they're probably gone for good. Due to his own foolishness, Chen Youshu has already followed in his son's footsteps, becoming yet another major wanted criminal—a truly heartbreaking situation...

Therefore, this method, which can both ensure the safety of parents and appease Lin Dong's suspicions, is a win-win situation.

Seeing Chen Yi's determination, Lin Dong stopped insisting and simply patted him on the shoulder again, speaking solemnly.

"I will protect them, that's my promise." Looking for the latest chapters yourself? You're so outdated! Follow our WeChat account and our beautiful editor will find books for you! You can truly read and flirt at the same time!

Chapter 414 The Return Journey

Back in the Indian Ocean, Lin Dong and his group did not linger. After Chen Yi disembarked, the Lin Dong set sail again, heading non-stop towards the East Asian waters.

Lin Dong, in the command room

Looking at the surveillance equipment, Lin Dong saw another swarm of Sirens, no smaller than a large fleet, speeding past less than 5 nautical miles from the Lin Dong. He couldn't help but say with a hint of despair.

"This is the fourth wave today... Damn it, just how many ship girls have the Sirens built...?"

The Sirens, having traveled a long distance, naturally discovered the presence of the Lin Dong. However, whether it was because Bismarck had left behind many chips belonging to their own people, making it difficult for the Sirens to recognize the ship, or because they recognized it but simply didn't want to pay it any attention, they simply ignored Lin Dong and continued heading towards the assembly point designated by the Sirens headquarters.

Although the Sirens had no intention of attacking, the Maritime Bureau was clearly not taking it lightly. The highly trained ship girls had long been on high alert, ready to deal with any battle that might occur at any time.

The little girls weren't stupid. As the sirens became more and more active, they finally realized the seriousness of the situation and consciously stayed in their rooms, not wanting to hold everyone back.

For a moment, a somber atmosphere filled the vast Lin Dong ship...

Bismarck, who was still fiddling with the chip in her hand, responded casually with her head down after hearing the commander's groan.

"500 million units."

After speaking, she continued to pull out and insert chips from a device. As the Siren headquarters began to stir up trouble, the Lin Dong, which had originally entered the Siren network as a Siren supply ship to evade Siren's blocking, was starting to be discovered by the Siren headquarters. As the Siren headquarters intensified its investigation, the chip Bismarck was now holding the third one that had been "banned" by the Siren headquarters that day...

"What, 500 million units?"

Bismarck's seemingly nonsensical words left Lin Dong puzzled, prompting him to ask a question.

Seeing that the signal bar on the communication equipment had returned to full bars, Bismarck turned around and explained to the ignorant man.

“I once read in a report that when the Sirens descended into this world, they used 500 million Mind Cubes.”

"Holy crap!"

This chilling data sent shivers down Lin Dong's spine. Having previously served as the director of the Donghuang Security Bureau, he knew better than anyone how terrifying a figure of 500 million was. Because the Sirens who besieged Lushi Island numbered only a few hundred at most, yet they had already trapped a fully equipped Donghuang fleet in its coastal waters...

Compared to the commander's country bumpkin attitude, Bismarck was quite used to it. Not all 500 million Wisdom Cubes were used to building ship girls. After all, the mass-produced ship girls that helped the Sirens conquer most of the planet also required Wisdom Cubes. Excluding this large portion, the scale of the Sirens ship girls, distributed across 70% of the planet, wasn't actually that terrifying.

Furthermore, it's obvious that the forces assembled by the Siren headquarters this time are reserve troops, at most a few hundred thousand. After all, they still have vast maritime territories that require a massive number of ship girls to govern for the Siren headquarters. The Siren headquarters wouldn't sacrifice its core mission for the sake of Asia. Therefore, this event of the Siren's return is certainly not insignificant, but it's not particularly large either.

Unfortunately, Bismarck, seemingly to avoid trouble, didn't explain these details to this uninformed man. If Lin Dong knew the intricacies, he would immediately understand why the warship's consciousness was putting on such a grand show of a decisive battle. Admittedly, a victory would cripple the Sirens, but the ocean would still be the Sirens' ocean. What trump card could it possess that would lead it to such a choice?

...

Because India is nearly 5000 nautical miles away from Tanegashima, and also because he had to be on guard against the Sirens constantly heading towards the Pacific Ocean from afar, Lin Dong stayed in the command room until almost midnight. Finally, unable to resist the overwhelming fatigue, he dragged his physically and mentally exhausted body off duty.

Lin Dong, with sleepy, lifeless eyes and yawning, walked down the ship's corridor. Just as he was about to return to his own room, the cabin door he was passing suddenly opened wide, and a hand reached out and pulled him inside without a word.

"Li, I'm so sleepy, please spare your brother-in-law this time."

Looking into Shengli's bright, sparkling eyes, Lin Dong couldn't help but beg for mercy. Even a fool could guess what kind of pointless thing this scoundrel was about to do.

"Brother-in-law, let's sleep together."

Shengli, who has never been shy, was quite shameless and extended an incestuous invitation without batting an eye.

"No way. Your sister's waiting for me to come back. If she finds out, you'll only get a scolding, but I'll be the one who suffers."

Faced with such an enviable romantic encounter, Lin Dong shook his head repeatedly without a second thought, resolutely refusing.

The somewhat domineering victory disregarded the commander's consent; without a word, she grabbed Lin Dong's hand and led him to the bedside. As they walked, she began fabricating stories that had never happened.

"My older sister already agreed..."

Although he hadn't spent much time with his sister-in-law, their relationship had developed at breakneck speed. Ever since learning what had happened that night, Lin Dong had been saying no to Shengli's increasingly intimate actions, but his body language betrayed him. In the past few days, the two had done everything imaginable: kissing, hugging, and cuddling.

However, due to the limited time they had spent together, Lin Dong's understanding of this person was limited to "liking to be foul-mouthed." He was unaware that she was also an expert at lying. In addition, his dazed mind at the moment prevented him from thinking too much about it, so he took her words seriously.

"Really?"

"You can't lie to your brother-in-law, come on!"

Seungri, already tucked into bed, finished speaking without batting an eye, then patted the lifted sheet beside him to make room...

"...Okay, then."

Having taken it seriously, Lin Dong stopped thinking about it. He quickly took off his military uniform, tossed it onto the sofa, and then scurried into bed, saying...

"Good night"

Seeing his brother-in-law's clueless attitude, Shengli stared wide-eyed and asked.

"Hey?! Brother-in-law, aren't you going to chat for a bit, or play some kissing games or something?"

She had been eyeing it for a long time, and only when the other ship girls were on full-time shifts to guard against the Sirens and were too busy to fight for the commander, and she had finished her shift early, did she have this rare opportunity.

Chapter 415 Lucid Dream

Seeing the commander fall fast asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed, Victory couldn't help but feel furious.

"Hate!"

But under the dim moonlight, upon noticing the undisguised weariness on the commander's face, Victory, unusually, abandoned her usual arrogance and domineering nature. After a moment's hesitation, she rested her thighs on the commander's lap, closed her eyes, and gradually drifted off to sleep...

...

Pacific Ocean, Siren Headquarters

In a room marked "Command Room," the girl who had just awakened sat in a futuristic-looking chair surrounded by at least a dozen display screens displaying various data. Like a seasoned programmer, she skillfully operated the numerous touch-sensitive devices, her hands and tentacles working in tandem with them.

Since waking up, she hasn't closed her eyes for a moment's rest. Although her face is expressionless, she shows no sign of fatigue. Besides her innate strong willpower supporting her through this high-intensity work, there is also a firm belief urging her not to stop.

This belief wasn't confined to her alone; it resided in the hearts of all her people. Just as they had spontaneously and forcibly merged with the Mind Cube for the sake of the name "Siren," transforming into those monsters that were neither human nor ghost. For the common goal of their people, they were even willing to abandon their own consciousness, thus being named ridiculous titles such as Game Changer, Leader, and Chess Player—classified by their strength—reduced to a lowly existence, akin to war machine ship girls.
