Elder brother's garrison

Page 2098

“…Creak, creak…” Upon hearing Xiaobai’s words, the research and construction machine quickly patted its cabin with its mechanical arm and said to Xiaobai.

"Yes, I know, I know, research ship girls are also very powerful ship girls." Xiaobai smiled at the research construction machine and waved to it, "Come here."

The research and construction machine creaked and groaned as it approached Xiaobai, retracted its four mechanical tentacles, and sat down in front of Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai stretched out his hand and placed his palm inside the flat research and construction cabin, feeling the coolness and hardness of his hand. A look of relief flashed in his eyes.

"I can't wait..."

"Research ship girls, hurry up and be born!"

Xiao Bai's voice echoed in the quiet dormitory.

"..."

The research and construction machine, feeling Xiaobai's touch, finally fell silent.

……

That night.

After a noisy afternoon, the city finally quieted down a little.

Xiao Bai deliberately chose to leave the temporary garrison alone late at night, when there were relatively few people around.

When Xiaobai walked out of the temporary garrison, dark clouds accompanied the bright moon in the sky. The cold moonlight mixed with the pale light was projected onto the earth, illuminating the streets of Chapter Eight, making them mottled and desolate.

Perhaps because of the golden beams of light during the day, even at night, several ship girls can always be seen flashing through the darkness on the streets of Chapter 8.

The night is quiet.

But the nights are lively too.

Xiaobai walked down the street, covering her mouth as she looked around at her surroundings. She sighed helplessly.

"There's no way to get to the 8-4 sea area like this..."

"Alas, this is the only way."

As Xiaobai spoke, he walked into the alley on one side.

After a while, a girl named Shiro, wearing a baseball cap that covered most of her face, dressed as a ship girl, with a high silver ponytail and noticeable rise and fall in her chest, emerged from the shadows, touching the wall with one hand.

"Ah."

Xiao Bai walked out of the alley and came to a convenience store. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she reached out and touched her cheek.

With this level of disguise, even if he were out in the open, he wouldn't be mistaken for a human admiral.

However, since she's disguised as a ship girl...

Then we'll have to use the movement method of ship girls.

Xiaobai lowered her hand, glanced at the street lamp beside her, then lightly jumped, her body stepping on the street lamp and transforming into a black shadow as she swiftly climbed up to the top, disappearing into the night in a flash.

The night in Chapter 2953, beneath its silent exterior, is a bustling undercurrent of competition.

Little White, stepping on the streetlights, leaped with incredible agility across the city's rooftops, stairwells, and high-rise buildings, approaching the 8-4 sea area at a considerable speed.

"Huh? A new face? Which ship girl is she from?"

"Not bad at all!"

"Are you here to find scientific research construction equipment, or are you looking for the golden pillar of light?"

Let's do it together!

As Xiaobai moved, several other ship girls in the sky who were also moving in the same way saw her. Curious and enthusiastic, they followed her and called out to her back.

Xiao Bai turned around, pulled his baseball cap down lower, leaving only his eyes visible as he looked behind him.

Several ship girls behind him stood on the rooftop of a building not far away, waving at him.

Xiaobai jumped onto a street lamp, stopped gracefully, and raised her hand to wave at the ship girls.

"Don't be so shy!"

"Let's exchange information; maybe we have what you're looking for!"

"And you..."

The ship girls were about to continue persuading her when, in the next second, the snow-white figure that had been resting on the streetlight suddenly accelerated, like a white missile, and disappeared into the night with a few leaps, at a speed that the ship girls could not even begin to comprehend.

The ship girls stared in astonishment at the snow-white figure. They instinctively wanted to chase after it, but soon could only watch the taillights of the snow-white figure with longing.

"Wow... Wow, that's fast..."

"How can this girl be so clever..."

"She's lightweight and petite, so she can walk on things that most people can't reach, like streetlights. If we follow her route, we'll damage a lot of places..."

"Um... I'm so sorry it's too heavy."

"This girl seems reluctant to talk to us."

"Hmm...did anyone see her face?"

The ship girls looked at each other with puzzled expressions, but they were still amazed.

……

Swish swish swish————

A cold wind howled in the night sky.

Little White weaves between the tall buildings, its ears filled with the whooshing sound of the wind.

"Wow!"

As Xiaobai leaped through the air, watching his feet leave the ground and the moon in the sky seem to grow larger, a feeling of exhilaration welled up within him.

Is this what it feels like to relatively break free from gravity...?

Although it only lasted a few seconds, it was truly a joyful experience.

No wonder humans have always been so fascinated by flight.

Xiao Bai headed towards the 8-4 sea area.

When Xiaobai arrived at the entrance to the 8-4 sea area, she found that the gate of the 8-4 sea area, which was originally guarded by a fairly ordinary level, was now patrolled by a number of ship girl employees from the Admiral's Guild. These ship girls not only existed on the ground, but also in the nearby high-rise watchtowers and in the corners of various alleys.

"They really are guarding it very tightly..." Xiaobai stood on a tall building, looking down at the sea gate below, covering her mouth and muttering to herself.

It's likely that the Admiral Guild is aware of the allure of salvaging ship girls for Admirals. They were worried that some overconfident Admirals might sneak into the 8-4 area under the cover of night to search for salvaged ship girls, which is why they specifically sent people to guard this place before the matter was clarified.

Ugh.

It must be Miss Luo Yingying's idea.

She really went to great lengths for the admirals.

Xiao Bai smiled helplessly.

The ship girls' guards are indeed very tight; with this level of protection, even a mosquito wouldn't be able to fly into the 8-4 sea area.

But Xiaobai is not a mosquito.

The creature that Xiaobai is least afraid of is a being with spiritual power.

"Deep Sea Will, please help..."

Little White murmured to itself and closed its eyes.

A few seconds passed.

When Xiaobai opened her eyes again, her gaze changed from gentle to cold and indifferent, and her entire demeanor became completely different.

Xiao Bai lightly leaped down from the tall building, landing on the street with a splash.

A patrolling ship girl nearby heard the sound and turned around to look at Xiaobai.

The patrol ship girl's eyes narrowed the moment she saw Xiaobai, and then she raised the megaphone in her hand, ready to shout.

brush----

At that very moment, Xiaobai raised her baseball cap and glanced lightly at the patrolling ship girl in the air.

Golden pupils flashed briefly in the night.

Buzz.

The patrol ship girl's mind went blank. She swayed twice, leaned against a nearby wall, and slumped to the ground with a vacant look in her eyes.

Xiao Bai's figure walked past her with an air of nonchalance, bypassed an alley, and disappeared into the shadows.

A few seconds later, the ship girl who was slumped on the ground trembled. She came to her senses and quickly raised the megaphone.

"Hey...hey? Where did everyone go?"

The patrol ship girl stared blankly at the empty street, scratching the back of her head and looking around in confusion.

"I think I just saw something... um..."

"What was it again?"

"...Could I have misread it?"

The patrolling ship girl scratched her head, looking confused about what had just happened, but thoughtfully turned off her horn and continued her patrol.

Meanwhile, Xiaobai moved through the streets without any hindrance.

Xiao Bai passed through the gate of the 8-4 sea area in one breath and arrived alone on the beach at night.

Looking at the dark sea before him, Xiaobai, with a cold gaze, raised his hand, rubbed his shoulder, and then closed his eyes.

Xiao Bai's demeanor softened considerably after just a few seconds.

"Deep Sea Will! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

When Xiao Bai reopened his eyes, he clasped his hands together in gratitude and kept saying to the sky.

There was no response from the sky.

But Xiao Bai's face quickly filled with a smile.

Little White stepped onto the water and headed towards the depths of the 8-4 sea area.

The current was much faster at night than during the day. As Xiaobai walked on the water, he felt the cold wind carrying the icy, dark seawater, constantly pounding against his calves.

"Sigh... If it were an ordinary person, without any protection, being exposed to this level of deep sea would probably leave them with the same health problems as Yu Gan's father..." Xiao Bai said with some emotion as he looked down at the waves that were so high they reached his knees.

Xiao Bai withdrew her gaze and looked around.

Amidst the surging waves, several deep-sea amphibious ships stared at him with golden or crimson eyes.

Xiaobai stared at the deep-sea ships for a while. The deep-sea ships, not sensing anything from Xiaobai, turned around, wagged their tails, and left.

Logically speaking, ship girls need a sea map as an aid to conquer sea areas.

This so-called sea map isn't actually a map to "point the way" for the ship girls. Instead, it's a map filled with "points where deep-sea ships gather" and "safe areas where they can rest and recuperate." It's by using the various locations marked on the map that the ship girls can plan their expedition routes, where to fight, where to rest, how to avoid powerful enemies along the way, and how to choose the enemies that are relatively easier to fight and offer the richest rewards. In this way, they can successfully reach the deepest part of the sea, defeat the sea boss, and retrieve the kill certificate.

A fleet of ship girls without a sea map is like constantly facing "unknown enemies" and "unknown combat environments," which is extremely dangerous.

Of course.

As a unique neutral being, Xiaobai will not attract any active attacks from deep-sea ships, so she doesn't need a sea map and can simply head straight for the deepest part of the sea.

As Xiaobai continued its journey into the depths of the sea, the number and quality of deep-sea vessels appearing around it increased along the way.

"Hmm...we're almost at the deepest point. The strength of the abyssal ships here is already quite high, about a third of what it was back in my early days? Even the ship girl teams from the top ten naval bases can't underestimate these enemies." Xiaobai murmured to herself, gazing at the surrounding sea. "Enemy strength like this would be a real challenge even for many newbie naval base ship girls if faced alone...I hope this salvage ship girl really does possess the unique ability to coexist peacefully with the abyssal seas, as Sister Duan said..."

Xiaobai certainly doesn't want to see a ship girl being salvaged after being surrounded by Abyssal Fleet ships, leaving her with damaged or even severely damaged equipment, and fainting on the ground.

Ok……

That scene must have evoked mixed feelings.

As Xiaobai pondered this, she stretched out towards the sea and soon, guided by a faint light, she felt herself arrive at the deepest part of the 8-4 sea area.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the final boss location in area 8-4.

Xiao Bai stopped, looked at the quiet surroundings, closed his eyes and listened intently for a while.

"Hmm...it's very quiet..."

"There was no sound of fighting."

"From this perspective, the salvage ship girl did not actually have any conflict with the Abyssal Fleet."
