Chapter 550

The eastern area of the Mirror Sea.

On the calm sea surface, waves suddenly rose; a huge circular shield appeared, and inside that shield was exactly the Siren high-ranking humanoid that had just left the battlefield.

"You've worked hard, Constructor."

At some point, a white-haired tester appeared on the sea surface, eyes fixed on the Siren high-ranking humanoid that had emerged from the sea, and said.

"... Very troublesome." Obviously, this Siren high-ranking humanoid acknowledged the tester's title.

"This is also our job, isn't it?" the tester said.

"So is the task done now? If it's done, I still need to go to my Bering Sea laboratory..." the Constructor said.

The tester gazed at the distant sea area; although there was still fog covering the sea surface now, her eyes seemed able to pierce through that fog.

"This is merely a beginning; now this world has already produced a variable. Although, to maintain the experiment's continuity, we need to eliminate the variable,

but precisely because the variable's appearance adds uncertainty to the experiment, and such uncertainty is exactly what we seek to pursue." the tester said.

"... Variable? Emperor Frederick? Or Xin ze xi? Or Xinong?" the Constructor said.

"Not them, although they were not set to appear in this world, but our mainframe also has their data; they pose no threat to us." the tester said.

"What is that?" the Constructor opened his golden-yellow eyes and looked toward the tester before him.

"Their commander, that human." the tester said, "or rather, in the newly opened numbered world, such a powerful character should not have been born, but perhaps this world has a slight difference, causing that variable to fall into this world."

"During this time I have been constantly calculating, but never obtained a definite result; each calculation yields a new result, and these results waver between good and bad."

"Now we cannot directly contact the main world, so we can only store these results in the mainframe, relying on activating the emergency contingency."

"..." the Constructor obviously knew what the tester meant by the emergency contingency, but said nothing, merely staring blankly.

Seeing this, the tester couldn't help but smile: "Forget it, you're not responsible for these anyway. Then next, await the next step's notice."

"Understood." the Constructor nodded, then slowly sank beneath the water.

Watching the Constructor's disappearance, the tester turned her head again toward the direction of the Qin Ge Fleet, then a nameless smile curled her lips as she simultaneously vanished above the sea surface.

Search and rescue at sea continued, and the sound of gunfire gradually ceased, because within sight, basically all of the Siren mass-produced units had been wiped out by the fleet's shipgirls.

Several faction leaders had already come onto the command ship, reporting everything they had just seen to Qin Ge. This has always been the fleet's tradition: after combat ends, a battle summary meeting is convened.

"You've all come." Qin Ge smiled and said to the several people, "You've worked hard."

"That battle just now wasn't really arduous; it's just a pity that the Siren high-ranking humanoid escaped." Enterprise said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge shook his head: "It's normal for that Siren high-ranking humanoid to leave; if we had defeated her, that would be abnormal."

After Qin Ge spoke those words, everyone present showed a solemn expression, but a few looked puzzled, including Enterprise.

Seeing Enterprise's puzzled expression, Qin Ge smiled and said, "Do you feel a bit doubtful, wondering why I say her leaving is normal?"

"Yes, after all, this doesn't quite match a commander's style." Enterprise nodded and said.

Qin Ge chuckled, "By my count, this should be the third time I've seen a Siren high-ranking humanoid; the first time was when I saw one in the Sakura Empire."

"At that time, the Purifier was besieged by all the awakened shipgirls of the Sakura Empire, and even after fighting to the end she still handled things with ease; although she looked terrible, who could say she hadn't used all her strength?"

Bisimai, Tiancheng, and Weineituo were all witnesses of that battle; if you have nothing else, you can ask them.

As for the second time, that was in the previous mirror sea area; I directly saw three senior Siren humanoids. Their arrogant attitude, plus the way they looked at us like lab rats, left a deep impression.

However, it cannot be denied that they have strong capital; we are still very far from matching their power.

Previously, Monarch and Guanghui also fought the Purifiers head-on; even if she limited her strength to be about the same as ours, it would still be relatively difficult for us to defeat her.

After hearing Qin Ge's account, Enterprise couldn't help but look toward the few people Qin Ge had mentioned earlier.

Bisimai nodded, saying, "What the commander said is all true, so our fleet's current accumulation is still quite weak, especially when facing the enemy's surprise attacks."

For example, the previous waves—we couldn't organize an effective counter, and we also had to look after those who slipped and fell into the water. So afterward I didn't issue any further commands, because the battle had already ended at that moment.

The enemy seemed to have fled, but we also lost.

"So what next?" Russia asked.

Qin Ge shook his head, saying, "First report the losses, so I can understand what strength we still have."

Several leaders glanced at each other, and Weineituo spoke up, saying, "Our fleet currently has nearly a hundred people able to fight; among the other nearly a hundred remaining, many low-experience shipgirls have suffered varying degrees of injury, but overall it's not too serious."

As long as they are repaired with the Emergency Repair Tools, they can regain combat power in a short time, but a few shipgirls, like Bumblebee before, have suffered equipment damage and need several days of equipment repair before they can regain combat power.

Moreover, after this big battle, our Emergency Repair Tools have also developed a shortage; fortunately, the Kitchen Goddess is here, otherwise afterwards...

Weineituo didn't say it out loud, but everyone present understood.

Qin Ge nodded, saying, "Don't be so downcast; although the outcome is already like this, we saw infinite possibilities in the process."

Our fleet is not yet complete; our fleet is still growing, so your future room for progress will be very large.

Furthermore, this is the first time our entire fleet has directly clashed with senior Siren humanoids; although it can only be called a pyrrhic victory, it is still a victory.

I see the sea fog dissipating soon; everyone, gather our current combat forces next, launch a radar search to locate the Sai ren ju dian's existence, then control it—only then can we complete this mission.

"Yes."
