Azur Lane Mobile Front

"Hey! Mr. 'Mysterious Man,' if you can hear me, come out and show your face! I'm so tired of this game of hide-and-seek!"

As if she herself had lost patience, Washington shouted loudly at the empty sea, but of course, the only response was the crackling sound of the flames burning.

"A new enemy has appeared! A large number of Sirens have been detected on the radar!"

Washington's appeals did not receive a response from the "mysterious man," but they did receive a positive response from the Sirens, with a large number of Sirens beginning to converge on the task force.

"Tch, just like annoying flies, you can't get rid of them all?"

After much effort, the group once again sent all the Sirens back to the seabed. At that moment, Helena suddenly received a coded telegram.

"We can still receive signals from friendly forces here? Could it be a trap?" North Carolina immediately expressed her doubts.

They had already ventured so deep into the Mirror Sea that receiving a telegram seemed highly unusual.

"The encrypted code is full of incomprehensible statements... What's more certain is [Falling]... Falling?"

After some analysis, Helena managed to glean a few bits of information from the encrypted telegram.

"This information is completely meaningless..."

"First it was hide-and-seek, and now it's riddles? This 'mysterious man' seems to be a riddle maker. How about we find him and give him a good beating? That way, he'll surely 'kindly' tell us the answer!"

Washington, whose patience had long since worn off, put on a "kind" smile again, clenching his fists and making a few crisp sounds.

It seems that as long as the "mysterious person" appears in front of her, she will not hesitate to use a 16-inch cannon to fire a super-heavy bullet at him to teach him a lesson.

"Let's report the situation back first. At least we need to get headquarters to file a report on this Siren with learning capabilities as soon as possible." North Carolina was much calmer than Washington.

"We've already reported it to headquarters immediately."

"Helena is as reliable as ever~ Well then, let's go check the signal source and see who this 'mysterious man' is."

However, what awaited them at the signal source was not some "mysterious person," but a relentless stream of sirens.

"Damn it, it really was a trap?" Washington, having withstood two Siren shells, fired a salvo that sent his opponent back to the seabed.

Looking at the ship's equipment that was smoking, I estimated the extent of the damage.

Given the excellent performance of the North Carolina-class aircraft, the damage just now is still acceptable.

However, looking at the endless sirens in front of them, it was uncertain whether the ship's equipment could withstand such a continuous attack, and the ammunition reserves were not that many.

Moreover, these Sirens in front of us are already quite troublesome.

"They were able to perfectly predict our movements and launch an encirclement maneuver... When did the Sirens' tactics become so sophisticated?"

Although the sirens' firepower wasn't enough to cause them much damage yet, it was deadly enough for Helena beside them.

North Carolina, who had just shielded Helena from several shells, was probably in the worst situation of the three. One of the turrets was out of commission and billowing smoke.

"Damn it, this is never going to end! No matter what, let's fight our way out! Boss, let's aim at that big guy over there!"

The group began to fight and retreat, but the vast number of Sirens continued to tighten the encirclement.

Even so, the fleet continued its desperate attempt to break through. With the efforts of the three ships, sirens were continuously sunk, their remains reduced to wreckage on the sea.

"There are still a lot of bright spots on SG's screen, and the number of enemies is still increasing!" However, the news Helena brought them was not something encouraging.

"Hmph! Looks like the Sirens don't want us to leave! Everyone, forget about everything else, attack with all your might before you run out of ammunition!"

Suddenly, the spot of light on the SG radar disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

This led Helena to believe for a moment that the SG radar had been attacked and malfunctioned during the recent battle.

"The number of enemies in the nearby waters is decreasing rapidly!" After confirming that it wasn't her radar that was malfunctioning, Helena finally brought good news to the group that was still fighting.

"A large number of aerial units were detected on the air radar, but the aircraft types could not be identified." At the same time, new situations were also discovered in North Carolina.

With the appearance of the unidentified aircraft, the sirens were like stains being cleaned off a table; in just a few minutes, they were all reduced to wreckage.

"Helena, report on the surrounding situation."

"There are no enemy reactions on the SG radar anymore." Helena, who had just escaped from a desperate situation, was now excited.

“No, there’s someone else watching us.” Washington denied Helena’s report and silently turned the main guns around, aiming them at an open area of ​​the sea.

"Show yourself, Mr. 'Mysterious Man'. My main gun is locked on you! Let's have a fair fight! I've been holding back my urge to give you a good beating ever since!"

No sooner had Washington finished speaking than a figure suddenly appeared on the previously empty sea.

Although they couldn't see it very clearly, everyone felt that the figure looked quite familiar.

"Washington, that eagle..."

Along with the figure appeared a bald eagle soaring in the sky, circling as it flew towards the man.

"Our aircraft carrier unit?" This kind of eagle is too recognizable. Although the group could not confirm the specific information at the moment, it was not a big problem to make a general guess.

As the smoke cleared, everyone was finally able to see the newcomer's appearance.

Although the difference is quite significant, he seems to have experienced too many tragedies and carries many responsibilities, making him look overly weathered.

However, there is no doubt that this is a business.

"Huh? A company?"

"No...you've mistaken me for someone else."

"This world is really interesting, hahaha, how many companies is this now?" Washington scratched her head, the situation before her eyes was somewhat unexpected.

However, given his prior record, it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

“Tell me the name of the commander of the Enterprise you’re talking about.” Enterprise frowned; this testing ground seemed rather unusual.

"That won't do. We won't answer your question until we've confirmed your identity," North Carolina replied outright.

"Is that so? I'll check it myself."

With that, the "company" turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Deep in the sea.

"Hehehe, next, it's time to arrange for 'Key Point G' to meet with those ships equipped with the new ship gear. I wonder what new data we can get this time. I hope it won't disappoint me."

"But before that, let's go see them in person first, hehe~"

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Commission

In the command center of Donghuang Port, Luo Bo was deep in thought as he looked at a new commission.

The mission is a typical escort mission, but it requires escorting the target to a port in Australia.

"The Sirens razed that place to the ground, what port is left?"

Looking at the number with many zeros in the commission section, Rob thought it was a pity that such a big deal was wasted; it was just a scam.

Just as he was feeling regretful, the communicator's notification sound pulled Rob back to reality.

"Hello? Dean, what's up now?" Looking up, he saw a destroyer on the other end. Rob thought carefully; he couldn't have caused any trouble, could he?

"Rob, did you send your company to the XXX sea area? Our fleet has recently reported sightings of your company there." Saratoga didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"Huh? I have nothing better to do than send my company halfway around the world just to take a detour in front of the White Eagle fleet."

Rob was completely taken aback by the question. This question suddenly popped up out of nowhere. Was the destroyer recently punished by his sister's iron fist?

"Oh? That's interesting. Your company isn't here, and the companies here are hundreds of nautical miles from the incident site. So, which company did they see in North Carolina?"

Saratoga looked at Rob through the window with amusement.

Rob said that going up against this destroyer was really tiring; her appearance was too deceptive, and sometimes you couldn't tell if she was joking with you or being serious.

"Dean, my family's company really didn't go there. We just had a match with Sakura Empire a few days ago!"

"Really? I understand. By the way, you'll need to come over around the beginning of next year. Headquarters requires you to come for a review."

"What position? I've only been in this position for a short time!" Rob was immediately displeased when he heard he had to make another trip. He promptly stated that he was too busy and wouldn't go.

"Really? Then I'll help you say you don't need the annual budget allocation from headquarters~ Oh my, Sarah can buy so many dresses now."

"Early next year, right? I know, Dean!" As an adult, Rob deeply understands that when it's time to bow one's head, one must.

"Hmph! I can't handle you now!" After hanging up the communication, Saratoga was in a great mood, having won another victory in her battle with Rob. She hummed a little tune and continued working on the report in front of her.

On the other side, after ending the call, Rob sighed at how many things he had to do, and could only continue to bury himself in his work.

Although the rotating secretary ship would handle many affairs for him, there were still many things that he had to decide personally.

Take, for example, the commission that Rob is currently handling.

To be honest, this place hasn't had any decent requests in a long time.

After all, the limited number of ships in the port area were barely enough to maintain the patrol mission along the coastline, let alone have the manpower to undertake commissioned tasks to improve revenue.

To be honest, this commission just doesn't seem right.

After some thought, Rob decided to simply call the client over and ask about the situation in person.

The client arrived quickly, reaching the port area that afternoon.

The client was a strong, robust man from Donghuang who looked like a soldier; perhaps he had served in the military before.

"Please have a seat."

"This place has never had a commander as far back as I can remember." The newcomer first looked around, then slowly sat down. Even while sitting on the sofa, he remained upright.

"Mr. Yi, is that right? I invited you here mainly to inquire about the details of the commission. I hope you don't mind."

"It's alright, it's alright, it's nothing." Contrary to his appearance, this man was surprisingly easy to talk to. He cheerfully indicated that such an inquiry was only right.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Mr. Yi, Australia is now a wasteland. What is your purpose in entrusting us to escort your fleet there?"

"Oh, that place. Although Australia is deserted, it has abundant resources. The authorities are planning to redevelop that area, and I'm just going there to scout ahead."

"I understand, thank you for your explanation. I will get back to you shortly."

"Hey, I hope you guys hurry up, otherwise it will be a real hassle for me to send a request to White Eagle."

The client waved and left. Rob picked up the power of attorney again.

"The higher-ups want to redevelop Australia? The Pacific is in complete chaos, what's with this sudden change of heart?"

However, since someone had already entrusted the information to be sent to the port area, it meant that it was not a secret. After a little inquiry, Rob confirmed the authenticity of the information.

"It's actually true?" Upon seeing the investigation results handed over by Yi Xian, Luo Bo wondered if it was Bei Lian's turn to be on duty at headquarters recently, and that they had drunk two kilograms of vodka before making this decision.

"Alright, it seems there are no problems with the commission. Let's notify the other party that we've accepted it!"

Lamenting his hectic life, Robo, who had just finished a battle with the Sakura Empire, had to start preparing for his next attack.

After receiving a reply from the client, the fleet was ready to depart within a few days.

This time, Rob brought along the company and the four main characters. In Rob's plan, the four little ones already had a preliminary idea for a costume change.

However, we still need to observe their battle closely to decide whether to execute the plan.

Thanks to Rob's arrival and the diligent "leveling up" efforts of the company and Yixian, the Donghuang sea area is peaceful, and there is basically no danger unless the weather is too bad.

During their leisure time between guard duties at sea, the group, with nothing to do, had to find ways to pass the time.

As night fell, and it was the company's turn to go out on guard duty, Rob had no one to connect with, so he had to come and check on the four little ones.

At this moment, the room of the four King Kongs was pitch black, and the four destroyers were sitting together wrapped in blankets.

Changchun held a flashlight in his hand, shining it on his face. In the pitch-black environment, there was an inexplicable eeriness.

"When Xiaoming saw that strange figure drifting towards his room, he was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly closed the door and dragged the objects in the room one by one to block the doorway."

When Changchun's soft, gentle voice told scary stories, it somehow made people feel uneasy.

Just when Xiaoming thought everything was fine, a strange knocking sound rang out. 'Knock knock knock... knock knock knock...' The objects blocking the doorway seemed to have grown legs and moved back to their original positions one by one.

Upon hearing this, Fushun and Taiyuan wrapped the blankets even tighter around themselves, and even Anshan's expression clearly showed something was off.

Then, with that knock, the door opened by itself. 'You're in there, aren't you? Hehehe~'

Rob, standing outside the door, had no idea what the Anshan-class members were doing together. He only noticed that the Anshan-class bedroom was pitch black, but the door wasn't closed properly. So he went over and knocked on the bedroom door.

As Rob knocked, the door, which wasn't completely closed, slowly opened inwards.

Then, several earth-shattering screams instantly echoed throughout the entire ship.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Ghost Stories

Several screams nearly made Rob's heart stop beating.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Rob pushed open the door and turned on the bedroom light.
