No admiral in the surrounding crowd noticed Xiaobai's voice.
But just as Xiaobai finished speaking, in a corner of a wall far from the crowd, a figure wearing a black cloak raised his head as if sensing something and looked in Xiaobai's direction.
Beneath the dark cloak, nothing could be seen, as if it were an abyss.
……
The atmosphere in the courtyard was orderly and well-organized.
The percentage of research and construction machines is steadily increasing.
As time slowly passed, the percentage data jumped up and down, finally reaching 99.91% under everyone's tense gaze. As the previous admiral retreated behind everyone with the ship girls that had been spat out, the red-faced admiral who had just been called out and mocked finally arrived in front of the research and construction machine.
The data for the research and construction machine is almost complete, and the number of ship girls behind the red-faced admiral is just enough to fill the progress completely in one go.
"Finally, finally it's my turn!" The red-faced admiral trembled with excitement as he approached the research and construction machine, swallowing hard.
Behind the red-faced admiral, the ship girls shyly took off their coats, revealing simple white shirts and shorts, and approached the research and construction machine.
The research and construction machine's large mouth was open.
The ship girls walked into the giant mouth of the research and construction machine.
The research and construction machine slowly closed its massive mouth before everyone's eyes, swallowing all nine ship girls whole in one gulp, and then chewing contentedly with grunts right in front of everyone.
99.92%
99.93%
99.94%
……
99.99%
100%! ! !
Finally, the progress of the research and construction machine has reached a perfect three-digit number!
Huff —
A large amount of white steam instantly spewed out from the research and construction machine's cabin, and the machine began to spin with a rumble. It opened its huge mouth, and with a few gurgling sounds, a series of snow-white ship girls were spat out and landed next to the red-faced admiral.
When the ship girls were spat out by the research and construction machine, their clothes had already dissolved, and they looked extremely disheveled.
The red-faced admiral didn't go to help the ship girls around him; he just stood there, staring intently at the research and construction machine with a look of wild joy on his face.
A crisp snapping sound rang out.
The last lock on the scientific research and construction machine shattered with a crack, turning into scattered specks of light that dissipated.
Finally, the very conspicuous construction button on the body of the scientific research construction machine was revealed.
The research and construction machine is ready to build ship girls!
"Haha! The research ship girl is mine, she's mine!"
"Hahaha! Hey! I won!"
The red-faced admiral strode forward, laughing loudly, and made as if to press the button.
However, at that moment, an amazing scene unfolded.
boom--
The white mist gushing from the research and construction machine suddenly intensified, and with a roar as powerful as an engine, the surrounding white mist transformed into a fierce gale, directly blowing away the approaching red-faced admiral!
Chapter 2883 Pleading for Mercy
The red-faced admiral, who was trying to approach the button to build, let out a cry of alarm. Then his body was blown away alive, letting out a scream in mid-air before falling to the ground with a thud.
The red-faced admiral didn't fly very high.
But the fall hurt a lot.
However, after falling to the ground, the red-faced admiral still rolled over and sat up in a daze. He stared at the research and construction machine in front of him in surprise and shouted.
"What's going on! Wasn't your progress already full? Shouldn't it be my turn to press the build button?!"
The surrounding admirals breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Then, in the next second, laughter erupted.
"Hahaha, it's obvious they were rejected by the research and construction machine!"
"What did I say before? The ownership of the research construction machine is definitely not based on the last person in line!"
"That's a real slap in the face!"
"..."
The admirals around them relaxed and spoke loudly.
The red-faced admiral's face turned pale and then purple.
However, at that moment, another shocking scene unfolded.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, several mechanical tentacles suddenly shot out from the research and construction machine that had been firmly rooted to the ground just a second ago. These mechanical tentacles gathered under the body of the research and construction machine and transformed into two narrow and slender mechanical legs, which directly made the research and construction machine "stand up" from the ground.
Then, another mechanical tentacle emerged from the body of the research and construction machine. This mechanical tentacle reached out with incredible agility and touched the "construction button" on its own head.
Click!
The construction button on the research construction machine was pressed by the research construction machine itself.
Huff, huff, huff—
A loud mechanical roar emanated from the research and construction unit.
"What?! The research and construction machine pressed its own construction button?!"
"Holy crap, he even grew legs???"
"Incredible! So that's how it moves?!"
The surrounding admirals were immediately terrified, as if they had seen some kind of demon or monster.
However, the changes in the scene at this point had not yet reached the level that would shock the admirals the most.
Because in the very next second, the research and construction machine, which had grown mechanical legs, bent its legs slightly right before everyone's eyes, and then pushed off with all its might!
boom! ! !
An explosion sounded.
The ground cracked open with a loud bang.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the research and construction machine suddenly leaped into the sky and then landed on a nearby rooftop with a loud bang.
Finally, to the admirals' astonishment, the research and construction machine, with its long legs, hopped back and forth across the rooftops before disappearing from everyone's sight.
……
In an instant, only a deep pit remained in the courtyard of Admiral Ke Yuan's former residence.
There was deathly silence all around.
Finally, in the quiet atmosphere, one of the admirals screamed.
"Holy crap! The research and construction machine is off!"
"Damn it, we have to get it back!!!"
"At least let me see what the research ship girls look like, damn it!"
"Ship girls, hurry, hurry, go after them!"
"..."
The admirals shouted desperately.
The ship girls around them also snapped out of their daze after the absurd scene. They quickly responded, and a group of ship girls flashed with colorful light. Then, they jumped onto the roof in groups and chased after the direction in which the research and construction machine had disappeared.
"Scientific Research and Construction Machine—Don't Run Away—"
"Stop right there!"
"You haven't given birth to any research ship girls yet—"
"..."
The sky was suddenly filled with the figures and shouts of the ship girls.
As the research and construction machine escaped and the ship girls chased after it, the admirals present also pulled up their pants and ran out of the courtyard, quickly chasing after the research and construction machine.
Boom boom boom boom...
The footsteps on the street sounded like an earthquake.
Little Bai, clutching a bag of sunflower seeds, stood there dumbfounded, watching the courtyard where the crowd had vanished completely.
The faint sounds of people leaving still lingered in my ears.
"Oh dear..." Xiaobai looked at the courtyard with a complicated expression, and finally smiled helplessly, "Well... I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."
Even though he already knew the ownership of the research ship girls, Xiaobai had to admit that he was truly shocked by the scene before him when he actually saw the research construction machine filled up.
Unexpectedly, the research and construction machine ran away right under everyone's noses.
Where did it go?
Why did it run away?
Xiao Bai cracked sunflower seeds, staring in the direction where the research and construction machine had disappeared.
After thinking for a while, Xiaobai had an idea.
Ok……
Perhaps it's like how some creatures in nature choose a quiet and safe place as their nest when laying eggs and giving birth...
The research and construction machine probably wants to find a safe place to start nurturing research ship girls.
Clearly, it doesn't like doing this kind of thing under everyone's watchful eyes.
This research and construction machine... is usually incredibly arrogant, doing all sorts of things like sneaking into locks and forcibly eating ship girls, but when it comes to laying eggs, it actually becomes shy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai smiled helplessly.
Xiao Bai put the sunflower seeds back into his pocket, clapped his hands, and prepared to walk out of the yard.
Xiao Bai has no intention of chasing after the research and construction machine.
Although finding the research construction machine wouldn't be difficult if Xiaobai were willing to chase after it, given her admiral network's search capabilities, since the research construction machine itself wanted to escape the scene, Xiaobai was indeed willing to respect its choice—after all, the research ship girl inside its belly already belonged to Xiaobai, and perhaps in a couple of days it would be able to come back to her holding the hand of the newborn research ship girl.
As for the research and construction opportunities not being snatched up by other admirals...
Xiao Bai wasn't worried at all.
After all, Xiaobai had witnessed the infiltration capabilities of the research construction machine firsthand. It was something even the rookie naval base ship girls couldn't keep an eye on. For it, simply disappearing in broad daylight was as easy as drinking water. If it didn't want to be found by others, even if they turned Chapter 8 upside down, they probably wouldn't find a trace of the research construction machine.
So I'll just stay home and wait for news about the research and construction machine.
Perfect timing... I can use this little bit of time to do other things.
Thinking about this, Xiaobai had an idea, and she left the now empty courtyard.
"Ok?"
The moment Xiaobai left the courtyard, she suddenly felt an exceptionally strong gaze upon her. She subconsciously turned her head to look outside the courtyard and saw a figure wearing a black cloak standing by the wall not far away.
"...Kantai Collection girl?"
Xiao Bai stared at the black cloak, somewhat puzzled.
Just then, the figure in the black cloak saw Xiaobai emerge from the courtyard. In an instant, the figure in the black cloak rushed towards Xiaobai like lightning, arriving in front of Xiaobai in the blink of an eye.
Huff —
A pair of fair, delicate hands emerged from beneath the cloak, swirling with a gust of wind, and reached out to grab Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment.
……what?
Is this... a revenge plot?
Did the ship girls attack them on their own initiative?
