"If we maintain this shipment rate, it won't be difficult for our naval base to break into the top ten in a few years!"

"Haha, what kind of daydream are you having?"

"Oh dear, it's just that deep-sea submarines are too easy to bully!"

The ship girls laughed and chatted, their clear laughter echoing across the sea.

Deep-sea debris floats silently on the surface of the sea.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of this, did you guys hear that gossip yesterday?" one of the ship girls suddenly said.

"What gossip?"

"So, you see... around yesterday afternoon, a pair of naval bases supposedly ranked in the top 100 were fishing with explosives in the 8-2 sea area. I don't know if they were just unlucky or what, but they were hit by a submarine and were thrown around wildly. They were chased into dangerous waters and drowned!"

"Huh?? That happened? What happened afterward?"

"Yes, the Admiral's Guild's rescue team was dispatched, and they found him in less than three or four hours."

"Oh...that's alright."

"Hahaha, since everyone's alright, I'm going to have a laugh. An anti-submarine squad being chased and beaten by a deep-sea submarine is really too funny!"

"It's a bit impolite, but it really is... pfft."

"That's right, how could an anti-submarine squad possibly lose to a submarine? So when this news came out, everyone said it was just some idle admiral making a joke, and nobody took it seriously."

The ship girls looked at each other and nodded with smiles.

"That's it!"

"I'm more inclined to believe this is just for fun."

"Only anti-submarine ship girls know how big the gap in strength is between submarines and anti-submarine ship girls. How could there be an anti-submarine ship girl who can't beat a submarine?"

"Then I'll add one!"

The ship girls raised their hands.

"However, on the other hand, the Admiral's Guild has still sealed off the area where the ship girls met their demise yesterday," the ship girl who had just started the conversation said.

"Huh? It's sealed off? Where?"

"It's probably around here." A ship girl took out a map of the sea area and pointed to a small area on it.

"Hey... isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?" the others said immediately upon seeing the admiral.

"Yes, there are quite a few deep-sea submarines in that area. Many admirals have given feedback, saying that this blockade is affecting their ability to fish with explosives."

"I think so too……"

"There's nothing we can do. The guild is doing this for the safety of our ship girls, although I don't really think it's necessary..."

The ship girls were chatting away, preparing to leave the area, when suddenly the ship girl leading the way felt a chill run down her spine.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

The others looked at the ship girl.

The ship girl didn't speak; she simply closed her eyes and sensed for a while before opening them and smiling at her companions.

"Hey! Great news!"

"What happened?"

"The Admiral just sent us a message through the Admiral Network. Guess what? Perhaps because there were too many Admirals giving feedback, the Admiral Guild has decided to reopen the sealed-off sea area!"

Wow! That's great news!

"That area has been sealed off for a long time, so there must be a lot of deep-sea submarines there. Let's go there and blast fish!"

"Well, I think there must be quite a few people who have this idea."

"Then we should set off even sooner?"

"Yeah, right!"

The ship girls exchanged glances, their eyes sparkling, and nodded in unison, raising their hands together in perfect harmony.

"Three, two, one! For more deep-sea metal!"

"Move out! Blockade the sea!"

……

The sun slowly sets.

Time flies, and it's time to get off work again.

Xiao Bai sat in his office, scrolling through the Admiral Forum with his mouse, his eyes scanning page after page of discussion posts.

"Admiral, what are you looking at?" Beside Xiaobai, Iowa peeled an apple into the shape of a little rabbit and smiled as she fed the apple slices to Xiaobai.

"I'm browsing the forum..." Xiaobai said, opening his mouth to bite into the apple.

"Forum? Is it about dangerous waters?"

"Well……"

What's the prevailing sentiment on the forum?

"It seems like nothing much happened today. In fact, there were even more deep-sea submarines in those waters. The ship girl squads that went there to blast fish made a lot of money. Many admirals on the forums said we made a mountain out of a molehill," Xiaobai said, chewing on an apple.

“Oh…” Iowa nodded, peeled another slice of apple, and looked at the screen, saying, “I think it’s not a bad thing for the admiral to be so cautious.”

"I'm actually fine, but since nothing happened in the dangerous waters, I can relax now." Xiaobai nodded, turned her head to Iowa's hand, and bit the apple slice that Iowa was holding on the tip of the fruit knife. "Hmm... Ugh... In general, given the situation, the six missing ship girls yesterday were probably just a low-probability mistake during a fishing expedition, so we can put this matter aside for now."

"The Admiral is wise." Iowa smiled and put down the fruit knife.

"That's all for today's forum. It's about time for people in the sea area to get off work," Xiaobai said, closing the webpage and then stretching.

Just as Xiaobai closed the forum.

Because Xiaobai's gaze had already shifted away from the screen, she didn't see it.

At that very moment, several new posts, adorned with various intense punctuation marks, suddenly appeared at the top of the forum's homepage.

These posts appeared at a very consistent and rapid pace, and were quickly closed by Xiaobai.

Chapter 3599 Sudden Overtime

Luo Yingying, wrapped in a blanket, staggered out of the elevator.

It was shortly after the Admirals' Guild closed for the day. The sky outside the window was dark and gloomy, and there were scattered figures on the street in front of the door. The admirals who were handling business in the lobby on the first floor had already left with their ship girls.

The Admiral's Guild's hall was spacious but deserted. All one could see were staff members carrying documents back and forth, methodically wrapping up their work for the day and preparing for the overtime ahead.

Luo Yingying clutched the blanket around her with her hands, sniffed, glanced at the staff working in the lobby, and then stepped out towards her office.

"Admiral, wait a minute, Admiral."

Just then, the elevator behind Luo Yingying opened again, and a voice called out immediately afterward.

Shenying, clutching a medical record, trotted out quickly.

"Admiral, the doctor said you need at least one more night of rest. It's not suitable for you to come back to work now," Shenying said as he approached Luo Yingying.

“Divine Eagle, I’m fine.” Luo Yingying didn’t respond to Divine Eagle’s calls until Luo Yingying put her arm around her shoulder and forcibly stopped her. Only then did Luo Yingying turn around and speak to Divine Eagle, “I’ve rested for several days now, and I feel very energetic.”

"Admiral, we must follow the doctor's orders."

"But it's just a minor cold this time..."

"Admiral, this isn't a cold." Upon hearing Luo Yingying's words, Shenying's already indifferent expression became even more serious. "As you should know, the doctor told us personally that this cold isn't just a common chill or the flu for you. Rather, it's an emergency signal your body is sending you before it collapses due to overwork, chronic insomnia, and lack of rest. According to the doctor's assessment, you need at least one more night's rest to recover to a relatively healthy state."

“Sigh, Divine Eagle, you’re right, but don’t forget something…” Luo Ying sighed and said to Divine Eagle, “What do you think is the prerequisite for me to rest?”

"...?" Divine Eagle paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Peace of mind and restful sleep?"

"That's absolutely right, your answer is absolutely right." Luo Yingying gave the divine eagle a thumbs up.

"Then why don't you go back, Admiral?"

"Do you think I can have peace of mind and restful sleep while I'm in the Admiral's Guild, right under President Lu Lin's nose, living in the same building as Admiral Lu Lin?" Luo Yingying asked rhetorically.

"..." The divine eagle was stunned.

“See, it’s impossible.” Luo Ying shook her head and gently removed the hand from Shenying’s shoulder. “I’ve been living in fear these past few days. If you make me stay another night, I’m afraid I’ll really break down.”

"...Then...Admiral, you want to go back to work too..."

"Only work can put my mind at ease. That way, I won't owe President Lu Lin anything." Luo Ying sighed. "Besides, I've been on leave for so long. I should be leaving all my work to President Lu Lin. I can't trouble her... In every sense, this is a terrible thing."

After Luo Yingying finished speaking, she turned around and jogged towards her office.

The Divine Eagle stood there, stunned, staring blankly at Luo Yingying's retreating figure.

After a while, Shenying looked back at the open elevator door. She hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly and walked back into the elevator.

……

After spending a few minutes completing the discharge procedures for Luo Yingying, Shenying returned to Luo Yingying's office with the medicine prescribed by the doctor and a list of daily instructions.

As soon as Shenying returned to her office, she saw Luo Yingying sitting at her desk, with a steaming cup of coffee and several stacks of photocopied documents beside her.

Luo Yingying is reviewing her work records from the past few days.

"Admiral, President Lu Lin has handled her work very well these past few days," Shenying said as she walked to Luo Yingying's side.

“Yes, I know.” Luo Yingying was engrossed in her work documents. She nodded and said, “We have all witnessed President Lu Lin’s professional competence. She truly deserves to be called the world’s number one admiral. She can handle any type of written document perfectly.”

"So what are you doing?"

“I need to know what President Lu Lin’s work is these days…” Luo Yingying put down the documents and said, “I’m not President Lu Lin. If I don’t know the work progress beforehand, I don’t know where to start.”

"So, Admiral, you came out in such a hurry because you wanted to know the progress of the work."

"Yeah, I don't want to be scrambling to get to work tomorrow morning..." Luo whimpered as she glanced at page after page of documents, studying them diligently like a diligent student immersed in a sea of ​​books, her whole head practically buried in the files.

Shenying lowered his head, picked up the coffee, and replaced Luo Yingying's cup with hot water.

Luo Yingying picked up the hot water and took a sip, completely unaware that her eyes were constantly scanning the documents in front of her.

The atmosphere in the office was peaceful and tranquil.

Strangely enough, Shenying clearly felt that after Luo Yingying returned to the office, her energy and spirit were indeed much better than when she was in the ward, looking like she was dying.

It seems that what our admiral said—that staying in the hospital ward would be even more agonizing—is correct.

Shenying walked to the office door, looked at the staff organizing documents outside, and the staff packing up to leave work, and sighed inwardly.

Perhaps... staying here is the only real rest for our admiral.

The divine eagle returned to Luo Yingying's side.

"Admiral, how are you feeling?" Shenying asked.

"I feel great." Luo Yingying said earnestly, holding the documents. "It's after get off work hours now, and there's no extra work in the entire Admiral's Guild. I can sit in the office and read these work records to my heart's content, making full preparations for tomorrow's work. There's nothing more pleasant in the world than this."

What if there are urgent documents?

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

"We received an urgent document yesterday."

"These urgent documents don't appear on two consecutive days."

Luo Yingying and Shenying chatted back and forth.

Just as Luo Yingying was holding up the document, about to say something, a crisp telephone ring suddenly sounded.

Jingle bell…jingle bell…

In the quiet office, the crisp, abrupt ringing of the telephone sounded particularly jarring.

Shenying and Luo Yingying's gazes unconsciously fell on the landline phone in front of them.

Under the strange gaze of the Divine Eagle, Luo Yingying silently picked up the microphone and brought it to her mouth.

"Hello? This is the guild manager's office..."

“￥…………%……”

The staff member on the other end of the microphone sounded somewhat agitated.

Shenying, standing nearby, clearly saw that after Luo Yingying received the call, her expression went through a series of changes as she listened to the content on the receiver, from confusion to bewilderment, then shock, astonishment, and finally... a wide-open mouth and an expression of disbelief, a performance worthy of a veteran actress.

A dozen seconds later, Luo Yingying put down the microphone while still having her mouth open.
