Elder brother's garrison

Page 1040

At Missouri's feet, shimmering silver flying fish emerged from beneath her feet, swirling overhead and splashing against the water's surface before darting into the other side of the beach. They eventually reformed into a dark silhouette and swam away confidently before everyone's eyes.

The ship girls raised their hands.

His mouth was open.

He stared blankly at the departing dark figure.

"Uh...so it's...Flying Fish?" The ship girls were dumbfounded, turning their gazes blankly to Missouri.

Missouri gazed at the mercenary ship girls with a sweet smile.

"If there really is an enemy behind us, our ship girls' ability to sense the aura of the deep sea will alert us much sooner than our eyes," Missouri said to the ship girls with a smile.

"Uh... Oh... You're right..." The ship girls lowered their heads awkwardly.

"So, the dark shape your companions saw this morning must have been a school of fish active nearby, right?" Wisconsin crossed his arms and watched the receding dark shape.

"Uh... I guess so." The ship girls lowered their heads in embarrassment. "We've wasted your time... We're really sorry."

“It’s alright, it’s alright. It’s a good thing to have such vigilance,” Missouri said with a smile.

"Uh..." The ship girls lowered their heads in shame. "Then, let's go back to the beach..."

“Okay… Oh, right. Before we get back to the beach,” Missouri raised a finger, “Missouri still has something to ask of you seniors.”

"What's going on?"

“Once we get back to the beach, let’s expand the perimeter a bit more. And for the residents living near the waters… it’s best to keep them away from the docks as well,” Missouri said. “Although we didn’t make any major discoveries this time, it’s a fact that the deep-sea atmosphere is becoming increasingly intense in places we can’t see. Missouri thinks we should still sound the alarm.”

"Oh! That makes sense!" The ship girls nodded.

"Then let's go back."

"it is good!"

The mercenary group's ship girls once again showed relaxed expressions. They breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back towards the beach.

Wisconsin caught up with the mercenary ship girls' group.

Missouri glanced silently at the sky deep in the sea, then followed the ship girls and gradually disappeared into the distance.

As the ship girls sped past, their beautiful figures disappeared into the horizon.

A vast expanse of azure sea remains.

And the deep, oppressive sky.

Staying together and watching over each other.

The sea remained calm for a while.

The sea breeze blows.

The waves crashed.

then.

Just after the ship girls completely left the waters.

A dark shadow.

Like an elevator, it slowly rises from the deep seabed.

Break the surface of the water.

A pair of scarlet eyes were revealed.

He stared intently in the direction where the ship girls had left.

Water flowed and slid everywhere.

"Splash...splash..."

Chapter 1347 The Awakened Novice

Perhaps it is because of the past, or perhaps it is because of the present, that we are still troubled by the probability of deep-sea disasters.

Generally speaking.

Most of the coastal cities guarded by the admirals failed to become first-tier cities.

For example, Xiaobai's target this time, Mianjiang City, is a very ordinary city.

Like Barley City, where the newbie garrison is located, Cotton River City is developing well, but due to the lack of a developed tourism industry and folk traditions, the city lacks a certain charm for tourism and is not very attractive to ordinary people.

Today, the train station in Mianjiang City is as deserted and quiet as the one in Qingke City.

morning.

The sun is high.

Amidst a series of beeping sounds echoing throughout the train station.

A train from afar chugged into the train station.

The train that Xiaobai was on finally arrived at its destination on the second day after leaving Fish City.

On the train.

Xiaobai looked down at the city map in her hand, and with the help of the ship girls, she got off the train and walked all the way to the outside of the train station.

"Mmm—it's so much better when there are fewer people! There are so many people in Fish City, you'd be squeezed into a meat patty just getting on the train!" Da Jing stretched his arms and yawned comfortably.

"Daijing, be mindful of your image," Kitagami instructed Daijing.

"It's okay, there's no one around anyway." Dai-i chuckled at Kitakami.

Bei Shang shook his head.

Behind Kitakami and Daii, Xiaobai lowered her head, looking at the map in her hand.

"Admiral? Are you looking for the location of the target naval base?" Iowa, who was standing next to Xiaobai, asked Xiaobai with her head down.

"Yes, I'm looking for it." Xiaobai nodded.

"Isn't the location of the naval base marked on the map?"

"Well, how should I put it... most city maps don't actually mark the location of naval bases." Xiaobai looked up and smiled helplessly at Iowa. "The reason we can find the newbie naval base on our city map is simply because my brother doesn't mind people knowing its location... Admirals like my brother who don't mind revealing the location of their naval bases are actually quite rare among all admirals..."

"Ah, I see." Iowa nodded knowingly. "Then, have you found the admiral?"

"I don't have any ideas yet. I'm thinking about the coastal areas. Where would be a suitable place to locate a garrison?" Xiaobai held the map, pondering carefully. "If all else fails, I can take a trip along the coast and look for a suitable location."

"As for the location of the naval base, uh... I think... I should know." Pompeii weakly raised his hand behind Little White.

"Huh? You know Pompeii?" Little White turned her head and looked at Pompeii in surprise.

"Uh... I guess so?" Pompeii had a subtle expression on her face. She moved closer to Xiaobai and pointed to a corner of a beach on the map. "It's probably... here if I remember correctly."

The place Pompeii refers to.

It is a very open beach.

The terrain is excellent, and the land is vast; it is indeed a very suitable place to establish a naval base.

"Wow..." Little White nodded, then looked around the map, memorized the route to the beach, and looked up. "Thank you, Pompeii."

"Uh... it would be best if I could help Admiral Xiaobai." Pompeii grinned, giving a somewhat forced smile.

"...Pompeii?" Xiaobai looked at Pompeii's strange expression, somewhat puzzled.

Talk about it.

Pompeii is always a very energetic and lively ship girl, isn't she?

Why does it seem like Pompeii's mood has been inexplicably low since last night?

Little White looked down at Pompeii's empty hands.

—She didn't even clear her stamina in her mobile game today.

"Pompeii...is something on your mind?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Huh? Me? No...no." Pompeii shook his head, glancing away somewhat timidly.

"……"noob.

No matter how you look at it.

Pompeii's eyes.

They didn't seem to be without worries.

Xiao Bai looked down and stared at the map for a while.

Suddenly I had a flash of inspiration.

——Is it true?

—Could it be that she... lost her gacha pull?

cough cough cough.

That seems unlikely.

Xiao Bai cleared his throat and looked again at Pompeii's inexplicably sad face.

Speaking of which, last night Pompeii said she knew the location of Mianjiang City, and today she found the location of the Mianjiang City Garrison Headquarters so easily...

Xiaobai originally thought that Pompeii was simply a well-traveled ship girl who had been around for a long time and had a wide range of knowledge.

Looking back now...

Could she have some strange relationship with this Black Flame Garrison?

The relationship between ship girls and naval bases...

Isn't there only one type?

Thinking of this, Xiaobai raised her eyebrows and looked at Pompeii with some surprise.

If that's the case, then Pompeii's identity becomes quite awkward.

"Huh? Admiral Xiaobai, why are you looking at me like that?" While Xiaobai was thinking, Pompeii, who was probably thinking about something, finally felt the white light shining from Xiaobai's eyes and looked at Xiaobai curiously.

“Pompeii…that…” Little White looked at Pompeii with some hesitation, “You…could it be…”

"I?"

"Uh... how should I put it, the Black Flame Garrison is guilty of heinous crimes... there is no way to forgive them..." Xiaobai tried to speak.

“Yes, it is a heinous crime.” Pompeii nodded.

“Yes, and then… well… so, Pompeii, if you feel awkward, you can wait for us in the city…” Xiaobai said.

"???" Pompeii looked puzzled, not understanding what Xiaobai was saying. "This garrison is guilty of heinous crimes, what does it have to do with me?"

"Huh? Is it alright?"

“It’s alright.” Pompeii stared at Xiaobai, then exclaimed, “Admiral Xiaobai, you wouldn’t… think I’m holding you back, would you…”

"Uh...no, no, no! You've been a great help to us!" Xiaobai blinked and withdrew her hands. "Then...it's alright."

Xiao Bai quickly shifted his gaze back to the map.

Ok.

makes sense.

Pompeii seems to have said that she and Zara are ship girls with at least ten years of experience traveling... It's indeed unlikely that such an older ship girl would have any connection with the naval base.

It seems I was overthinking things.

Do not know why.

After clarifying the fact that Pompeii and the Black Flame Garrison have no connection.

Xiao Bai actually breathed a sigh of relief.

I felt incredibly at ease.

"Admiral, have you found the naval base yet?" Kitakami and Oi, who were walking ahead, heard the conversation between Shiro and the others. They turned around and called out to Shiro.

"Well, I found it."

"So how should we proceed this time? Should we do what we did last night in Fish City and sneak in unnoticed?"

"Ah... yesterday." Xiaobai sighed, holding the map. "Dajing, head north, listen to me."
