Decided.
Since there's nothing for me to do on shore anyway, I'll wait two more days. If the deep-sea cranes don't appear tonight or tomorrow night, I'll go down to the deep sea to take a look the day after tomorrow.
Little White stood up and stretched towards the sun in the sky.
"Admiral Lu Lin! I'm here!"
"Little sister Lu Lin, are we disturbing you by coming so early?"
"..."
On the path in the distance, Elizabeth, carrying two sea fish, and Monica, wearing a sun hat, walked side by side, waving enthusiastically in their direction.
Xiao Bai, who was stretching, suddenly deflated and quickly greeted the two people in the distance with a forced smile.
Oh wow.
I almost forgot, we need to avoid these two people's attention when we take action the night after tomorrow...
-
Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
As the third day drew to a close, it became afternoon.
The sun hid deep within the thick clouds, its light tinged with a faint, dark hue.
A dark vortex unfolded at the entrance of the canteen in the newbie garrison.
Xiao Bai and several other figures stealthily emerged from the dark vortex.
"Yamato-neechan, hurry, hurry up!" Shiro, who was the first to emerge from the dark vortex, turned around and called out to the several figures behind her.
"Coming, coming!" Deep Sea Yamato responded, pulling the other Deep Sea Deans along as they ran out of the dark vortex one by one.
The Deep Sea Deans scrambled out of the dark vortex. Perhaps because some of them moved too hastily and lacked proper physical coordination, the moment they stepped onto the ground, a stampede ensued. Amidst cries of pain, they collapsed onto the floor tiles like a human pyramid.
"oops!"
"Pachina! Your foot tripped me!"
"You were the one who pushed me!"
"No, I didn't. There was clearly a force behind me..."
"Get up! You're pinning us down!"
"..."
The entrance to the cafeteria was suddenly filled with the noisy voice of Dean Shen Hai.
Finally, the super-sized robot emerged from the dark vortex and stared blankly for a few seconds at the Deep Sea Deans lying on the ground before remembering its mission. It then quickly shut down the dark vortex behind it.
On the ground, the abbots complained to each other, patted their clothes, and stood up.
"Seriously... We were doing just fine in Chapter 8, why does the Admiral suddenly want to send us back to the naval base?" Deep Sea Ryujo struggled to lift Deep Sea Musashi, who had plopped down on him, and muttered with a resentful look on his face.
"Ah... well..." Xiaobai smiled sheepishly at Shenhai Longxiang, "Actually, I thought about it carefully later. After we got the teleportation ability of the Super Yamato, there was really no need to continue risking leaving you in Chapter 8... After all, there are more and more outsiders there. Before, it was okay if there were only people from Haoding Garrison, but now there are quite a few people from the Mu family there, so..."
“I don’t care,” pachina said with her eyes closed. “Anyway, it’s the same for me wherever I am. There’s nothing strange about staying in Chapter Eight for too long.”
"In short, you're saying you'll call Super Yamato to teleport me back when you can use us, right?" Deep Sea Yamato made a peace sign at Shiro. "No problem! Don't worry, Shiro, I'll keep an eye on these people while you're gone!"
"Thank you, Yamato-neechan..." Shiro looked gratefully at Yamato Abyss, then thought for a moment before saying, "However, actually I just wanted you to stay at the naval base for a short while... As you know, Zuikaku Abyss hasn't contacted me for a long time. To check on things, I might go out tonight. We might need your help on the sea. If we leave together from the villa in Chapter 8 late at night, it will be too conspicuous, and it would be hard to explain if we were discovered. So it's better if just me and Super Yamato sneak out first, and then we can bring you back from here if we encounter any problems."
“Master, you are wise.” Loki nodded gently, agreeing with Little White’s decision.
"Hmm... okay."
The directors of the Deep Sea Institute exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
Xiaobai and Super Yamato escorted the Deep Sea Deans home, and also left a teleportation coordinate at Bismarck's house before opening the portal and returning to Chapter 8 under the watchful eyes of the Deep Sea Deans.
After returning to Chapter 8, Chao Yamato, in order to recover some of his lost stamina and ensure he was in full condition for the night's battle, went straight to his bed and slept soundly. Xiao Bai, on the other hand, went out of the villa to take a walk and chat with Elizabeth and Konohana, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
These past few days, life in Chapter 8 has been exceptionally peaceful and routine. No deep-sea fleets have appeared on the sea during this period. The ship girls in the valley work at sunrise and rest at sunset, feeling as if they are living in a paradise, content and at ease.
As Xiaobai eagerly awaited, evening arrived.
After seeing off Elizabeth and Monica, the ship girls of the newbie naval base prepared to go to bed. While the ship girls were washing up before going to sleep, Shiro crawled back into bed, cautiously looking at the night outside the window, waiting for the spiritual power of the Deep Sea Zuikaku to appear.
The ship girls chatted and laughed as they finished washing up, then slipped back into their beds in their thin pajamas, and the villa gradually quieted down.
The night is getting darker.
Moon stars are rare.
Xiao Bai lay in bed watching the twinkling stars outside the window. Sure enough, even late at night, as the time approached when Shenhai Zuihe had last looked for him approached, Shenhai Zuihe's spiritual power did not appear.
"Phew... I knew it... There wasn't any today either."
Xiao Bai sighed inwardly, then perked up and quietly sat up from under the covers.
Xiaobai looked towards the location of Chaodahe.
Chao Dahe had already woken up. She was kneeling not far away, staring intently at them like a puppy, her beautiful and mature face filled with innocent loyalty.
Xiao Bai smiled helplessly at the huge object.
Under the cover of night, Xiaobai and Chaoda stealthily pushed open the villa's door and left.
Chapter 1943 A Minor Accident
The night view in the valley is very peaceful and quiet. The ship girls of Haoding Garrison do not have the habit of staying up late. At night, the villas along the road are all tightly closed, and there are no lights inside. At this moment, the entire valley seems to have returned to its original natural state.
Xiaobai and Chaoda walked along the valley path under the cover of night.
quickly.
As Xiaobai and Chaoda approached the valley exit, scattered lights suddenly came into Xiaobai's view.
Xiaobai and Chaoda both stopped and looked ahead.
In the distance, a cluster of domed tents could be seen pitched on an open field, their interiors brightly lit.
That was the location where the Mu family's reinforcements were stationed.
It seems that, unlike those at Haoding Naval Base, this group of ship girls really enjoys staying up all night...
Looking at the distant twinkling lights, Xiaobai sighed inwardly.
"Admiral, should we take a detour?" Chao Dahe turned his head with some concern and asked Xiaobai.
"There's no way around it; it's surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one exit." Xiaobai sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration. "Thinking back, why didn't I advise Sister Naihua and the others to move to a more remote place four days ago when they were stationed here..."
"..." Super Yamato.
"It's alright, it's just the two of us now." Xiaobai sighed and said to Chao Yamato, "Luckily, I brought Yamato and the others back to the naval base this afternoon. It's just some tents, and the two of us can easily sneak over there."
"Are you sure it's okay...?" Chao Da looked at Xiao Bai with some worry.
"Of course!" Xiaobai hooked his arm around Chaodahe, patted his flat biceps, and said confidently, "Actually, Chaodahe, you don't know this, but don't let my appearance fool you. I'm very good at infiltration, and I have a lot of experience in committing crimes. It's no exaggeration to say that I'm a veteran!"
"So...so that's how it is!" Chao Da looked at Xiao Bai in shock, his expression quickly turning into sincere admiration.
"Haha!" Little White puffed out his chest, nodded to Super Big, and said, "Follow in my footsteps!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Bai and Chao Da approached the tent area furtively, one after the other.
"Super Yamato, if we go any further, we'll be entering someone else's territory. So please don't make a sound then," Xiaobai said, turning back to Super Yamato as she stood at the edge of the tent area.
"Ugh!" Super Yamato quickly covered his mouth and nodded frantically at Shiro.
"If there's anything you're particularly concerned about or want to ask, you can ask it now," Xiaobai added to Chaoda, sounding like a Grand Rogue.
"..." Chao Yamato looked at Xiaobai, thought for a while, lowered her arm, and asked Xiaobai softly, "Um... Admiral, what if... what if we accidentally encounter a ship girl inside?"
"Well... then we'll just go all in." The experienced Xiaobai held out his fist at Chaoda, "Let's use our fists on her."
"??"
"Simply put, it's about knocking them out. If we knock out everyone who discovers us, no one will know we were here." Xiaobai gave an "OK" sign. "And I happen to know a few tricks for erasing ship girls' memories~"
"Oh..." Chao Dahe nodded, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Is everything alright now?"
"Ah."
"Then let's set off."
"it is good!"
Xiao Bai and Chao Da exchanged a glance, nodded seriously, encouraged each other, and then sneaked into the brightly lit tent area one after the other.
Although the tent area was brightly lit, there were very few ship girls still outside. Upon closer inspection, most of the light came from the half-burning campfires in front of the tents. As long as you were careful not to cast obvious shadows on the tents, you could basically walk through the tent area in a conspicuous manner.
This level of infiltration difficulty should be considered beginner-level difficulty among the dungeons that Xiaobai has performed before.
Xiaobai skillfully carried the super-sized toy and crossed the tent area to the center in one go.
Just as they arrived at the center of the tent area, before Xiaobai and Chaodahe could even show themselves, Xiaobai suddenly heard a familiar humming voice not far ahead.
Xiao Bai immediately stopped and gestured for Chao Da to be quiet. The two of them then hid behind a large tent nearby and quietly peered ahead.
Wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown and slippers, with her long, straight, white legs bare, Muna Hana walked out of a tent in the distance while humming a song. She squatted down by the campfire in front of the tent, poked at the embers a couple of times, and then took out two large, crispy sweet potatoes, eagerly breaking one of them open.
A wisp of warm white smoke rose from the orange-yellow sweet potato flesh.
Muna took a satisfied sniff of the roasted sweet potato meat, then lowered her head and took a small bite.
"Hmm~ It's cooked, it's cooked. It's so nice to eat some roasted sweet potatoes late at night~" Konohana stood up, holding the sweet potato in her hands, and said to herself with a smile.
"Wife—how's the sweet potato roasting going?" General Mu's voice came from the tent behind Mu Naihua.
"It's cooked! It's cooked!"
"I want my crust to be a little more charred, honey!"
"I just can't do anything with my husband~" Muna said with a smile to the tent behind her, squatted back by the campfire, put another roasted sweet potato back into the ashes, and then hummed a song contentedly while munching on the sweet potato in her hand.
Xiao Bai, standing in the distance, stared at the mummy flowers in front of the tent and couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
Eating roasted sweet potatoes late at night... I think it's making me feel a bit bloated.
They really are an old married couple; they don't mind this at all...
Xiao Bai sighed softly.
at the same time.
The ears of the woman squatting in front of the tent in the distance suddenly twitched, and she turned her gaze toward Xiaobai as if she sensed something.
Xiao Bai quickly covered his mouth and pulled his head back.
"..." Muna Hana stared blankly at the empty tent, then took a bite of the hot sweet potato.
"Wife? Are you ready?" General Mu's voice came from inside the tent.
"Alright, alright, it's done!" Muna Hana looked away, smiling as she lifted the crispy-skinned sweet potato from the ashes, carefully patted off the ash, and then turned and walked back into the tent. "Honey, I'm back!"
"Wife, I love you!!"
"Husband—me too!!!"
As Muna entered the tent, it quickly fell silent.
Xiao Bai waited a few more seconds, then stealthily peeked out and glanced at Munaihua's tent.
"Phew... It seems that even Nohana's senses are becoming somewhat similar to those of a ship girl due to the blood of the student council president... She can hear my sighs from this distance... Luckily, Nohana didn't notice... It seems that the memory rewriting ability of the Deep Sea Will only works on ship girls, I really don't know how effective it is on humans..."
Xiaobai sighed inwardly and glanced back at Chao Yamato.
The giant one covered its mouth and crouched cautiously behind me.
Xiao Bai smiled at Chao Da.
"Super Yamato is alright now..."
wow-
Just as Xiaobai was smiling at Chaodahe, the sound of flushing came from the makeshift toilet not far from the tent. Mu Chenglin, with a handkerchief in his mouth and his belt in his hand, pushed open the door and walked out of the makeshift toilet. He looked up and saw Xiaobai and Chaodahe squatting by the tent, and then he was slightly stunned.
"Huh? Oh, right (Admiral Lu Lin)?" Mu Chenglin looked at Xiaobai in surprise. He let go of her mouth, took the handkerchief, and said to Xiaobai with delight, "What a coincidence, you're here to use the restroom too..."
