Chapter 64: Purifier, Come Out and Take a Beating!

A silver-haired girl in black, with a cold expression, blocked Gangzi with her sharp naval commander's sword, intercepting the machete that was about to strike him.

Although Zhao Long was shocked, he felt a sense of relief.

He had thrown Gangzi out not only to apologize to Lin Lan but also with the selfish hope that Lin Lan would stop him.

After all, not everyone can watch someone who is unarmed die in front of them.

Just when he thought Gangzi's life was spared...

"Did you think I didn't notice your little scheme?"

Lin Lan's cold voice echoed, and the next moment, Mainz's long knife twisted sharply, slicing upward.

"Ahhh!"

Blood splattered across Zhao Long's face.

"Attacking the port area commander is a death sentence in Orlan, no matter the excuse."

"Adults must pay for their actions."

Mainz cleaved off an entire arm, which fell to the ground.

Gangzi let out a heart-wrenching scream, but the sharp blade was already aimed at his throat!

The blade was pressed against his throat, poised to pierce through with any further movement.

The screaming stopped abruptly. Gangzi's pupils contracted in terror as he looked at the knife's edge on his throat, just a few millimeters away from piercing it.

Even a few drops of blood had already seeped from where the blade was aimed.

"Since you perfectly carried out the orders I gave on the passenger ship and successfully evacuated the passengers, I'll give you a chance."

Lin Lan's merciless words made everyone shiver. They didn't realize that his cold demeanor had subtly changed under the influence of the iron-blooded shipgirls.

Unconsciously, he had become accustomed to wielding life and death authority with an iron fist.

Of course, this was only directed at his enemies.

He looked at Zhao Long coldly and said:

"You should know, this is my greatest mercy."

"Otherwise, the blade I'd have Mainz use would be for his head, and all of you."

Zhao Long only then realized the gravity of the situation.

He looked at Lin Lan as if seeing him for the first time, with no resentment, only deep gratitude.

After all, daring to shoot at a commander in Orlan meant death.

"Sir... if there's ever a need for our help, even if it means death, we won't defy you."

"Why are you still dawdling? Hurry up and stop the bleeding for this bastard!"

Seeing Mainz sheathe her sword, Zhao Long quickly yelled for help to tend to Gangzi's wounds.

Do you think I need your help?

Lin Lan snorted and asked Zhao Long:

"Now tell me, where did you get this rumor?"

Lin Lan chose not to kill Gangzi mainly because Riko was still alive.

Otherwise, even Zhao Long couldn't have stopped his killing intent.

These people were indeed just ignorant tools who believed the rumor.

The real culprits were the ones spreading the rumors.

But once Gangzi pulled the trigger, these people were doomed to be in a deadly conflict with Lin Lan.

This was their own choice.

Without Zhao Long's intervention, their deaths would have been solely their own fault.

"It's the county governor from Tian'ou Group, Zhang Wei."

Zhao Hu, biting his teeth, told Lin Lan the name with a look of anger.

If they hadn't believed the rumors spread by this county governor, Gangzi wouldn't have lost an arm.

They wouldn't have been targeted for retaliation by this terrifying naval commander.

He didn't hate Lin Lan because he would have done the same, or even worse, in Lin Lan's position.

So all his hatred was directed at this damned county governor who spread the rumors.

At this moment, a fierce wind began to blow through the once-heavy atmosphere, signaling the storm's approach.

Lin Lan, having gotten his answer, looked towards the inner district:

"Zhu Hai Commercial Association..."

At the new port area by the sea, a Siren fleet with over a hundred black and red mass-produced warships approached, bringing a storm to the river's mouth.

Among the fleet, there were at least a dozen humanoid Sirens like Explorers and Trackers.

Additionally, there were several heavy cruiser-class Lord-type humanoid Sirens.

"Hmph, why do we have to listen to this guy and work for free?"

In the center of the Siren fleet, a lively Siren girl with golden eyes, wearing a white cropped sailor outfit and a white ponytail, complained on the sea.

Her skin was as pale as the Constructor Lin Lan had seen before.

The lively girl pouted, clearly displeased with the trip.

She was mounted on a huge black and gold Siren armor resembling a hammerhead shark.

Countless gun barrels were mounted on the metallic hammerhead shark armor.

The shark's mouth had a massive golden cannon, giving off a chilling aura from afar.

Her identity was the Siren's high flagship—Purifier.

(Purifier)

A cold, mechanical female voice came from her communication device:

"This is an important experimental site. To achieve the experimental results, we must meet the special requirements of this particular specimen."

"Well~ Whatever, just scare off the weaklings in this port like before. So boring~ Observer too, why don't you let me go play with those guys from before?"

The Purifier complained to the communicator about the previous enemies she had encountered in this world.

"They no longer have that person, so they are no longer worth observing."

"Now, the important thing is to observe the specimen in this world's various experimental sites."

The Purifier huffed angrily:

"These stupid beings in this world, each possessing a brain cube after we castrated them, act like they've found treasure and become increasingly arrogant. Honestly, this experiment is so dull."

"I've recorded your comments and will relay them to the Observer."

"Don't!"

The Purifier's words were abruptly cut off as all the humanoid Sirens around her looked up. Dense anti-aircraft fire erupted across the sea, firing nonstop.

"Someone actually dared to attack us? Are you kidding me???"

The Purifier ended the communication, her golden eyes filled with disbelief.

Enemies daring to attack the Sirens in this world?

Before she could even consider who had such audacity, bombs began falling from the dark clouds.

Siren fighter planes were shot down one by one, like sitting ducks, no match for the incoming attack.

On the sea, numerous Siren mass-produced warships were destroyed in an instant, with several humanoid Sirens also taking heavy damage from the bombs.

"Boom!"

In the distance, thunderous artillery fire rang out. The next moment, two Lord-type Sirens were pierced through their armor by large-caliber main guns.

With a series of violent explosions, barrage shells rained down like black raindrops, heavily damaging several mass-produced warships.

The intense firepower and dense attacks made the entire Siren fleet unable to lift its head.

"How is this possible? According to the natural computation system, they shouldn't be here!"

The Purifier now knew who the enemy was. She stared in shock with her golden eyes, her cute face full of astonishment.

At this moment, a proud young girl's voice came from the direction of the incoming shells:

"Haha! Purifier, long time no see. Come out and take a beating already!"
