"Ok?"
"What I learned in yesterday's brief experience is that human capabilities are limited. Sometimes, the more you try to use tricks and schemes, the more you'll discover that human capabilities have limits, unless you transcend them..."
"Admiral? What are you trying to say?" Ooi and Kitakami looked like they didn't understand.
"What I mean is," Xiaobai snapped, closing the map, "today, let's just go all out!"
Chapter 1348 Accelerator
Xiaobai and the ship girls left the train station and headed towards the location marked on the map's coastal beach area of Pompeii.
On the road.
In order to obtain more useful information, Xiaobai and the ship girls symbolically approached a few passersby who seemed to know something about the city and carefully asked them if they knew anything about the Minjiang City Naval Base.
Xiao Bai and her group, from tall to short, big to small, were all outstanding women with exceptional looks. Surrounded by flowers and beaming with joy, everyone, regardless of gender or age, felt as if they were bathed in a peaceful evening breeze, and their moods were naturally pleasant.
But, even so.
Among the passersby stopped by Xiaobai, most of the acquaintances hesitated when faced with questions about the naval base.
It wasn't that they were unwilling to tell the White Cotton River Town Government about this.
That's why I hesitated.
The reason is simply that even city residents have very limited knowledge of the naval bases outside the city.
after all.
Naval bases are special entities, not to mention that they are not exactly welcoming buildings for humans. In fact, because naval bases are basically located on the coast of dangerous deep-sea areas, although the area seems calm on the surface due to the suppression of the naval base, no one knows whether a fierce beach landing by deep-sea amphibious ships and a beach battle with ship girls will break out on that seemingly calm beach in the next second.
Therefore, even city residents, for their own safety, almost never linger on beaches in the deep sea.
The novice made some tentative inquiries, but naturally didn't get much valuable information.
The only piece of information that was somewhat reliable came from the taxi driver who took Xiaobai and the others.
When Xiaobai and the others asked about the garrison, the experienced driver waved his hand and told them.
This is the Black Flame Garrison.
It was about eight or nine years ago that they were stationed at the Mianjiang Garrison.
Life in Mianjiang City has always been peaceful, and the garrison has never made any moves, so it seems to have little presence on a daily basis.
Occasionally, some ship girls dressed in black would leave the Black Flame Naval Base, head to the city center, take the train to another city, and stay away for a long time. When you occasionally encounter those ship girls and want to greet them, the ship girls in the naval base basically all have cold faces and will not respond even if someone greets them.
The driver was a generous and talkative man.
Upon hearing the driver mention the "black-clad ship girls," Xiaobai immediately thought of the group of cold-faced ship girls who had tried to harm her the previous night.
Sure enough, this Black Flame Garrison must be the garrison that colluded with Boss Jiang of Fish City to sell deep-sea information.
Did not run away.
The witnesses and physical evidence are all there.
Justice can now be served.
—I have to say.
These older brothers and grandfathers who work as taxi drivers are as well-informed as ever.
The taxi only took a few tens of minutes to reach the beach.
The driver who was taking Xiaobai and the others didn't dare to get too close to the area where the naval base was located. After the taxi had been driving for a while, and there was a place where the blue sea could be seen in the distance, the driver stopped the car early, turned around, and said to Xiaobai and the others with an apologetic look that it was too dangerous to go any further than the naval base's territory, so he could only drop them off here.
Xiao Bai and the others expressed their understanding.
Get out of the car.
Ahead of the car was a long cement road, at the end of which was a golden beach. Beyond the beach were a large pier and a patch of azure sea just beginning to emerge.
After watching the taxi leave, the ship girls stretched and yawned.
Dajing looked at Xiaobai in the middle of the group and spoke.
"Admiral, although you just said to just go for it, we haven't discussed the specific plan yet. We're almost at the target naval base, how about we double-check the plan?"
"Okay."
Xiao Bai nodded, then gestured seriously, "First of all, we need to get close to the target naval base."
“Yes, get closer.” Dai-i nodded.
"If no one stops us, we'll just walk in."
“Yes, let’s go in.” Dai-i nodded again.
"If anyone tries to stop us, we'll take action."
"Okay, let's get started!" Dai-i's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, like he was pounding garlic.
"And then... that's it." Xiaobai pursed his lips sheepishly. "Actually, I'm not very good at writing plans... Anyway, if things change, we can just fight and go for it."
"..." Oi.
"What a simple and straightforward plan," Iowa said, covering her mouth and nodding with a smile.
"This is definitely an action plan typical of our naval base," Kitakami said to Shiro. "According to this plan, even avoidable conflicts will definitely break out, right?"
"It seems so." Xiaobai scratched his head. "Is it not working...?"
"It's alright, we can handle it. Leave it to us." Ooi Kitakami nodded. "It's just that if a fight breaks out, your safety, Admiral..."
"Ah, I'm fine, don't worry, I can protect myself." Xiaobai gave a thumbs up.
“…” Ooi and Kitakami thought for a while and nodded silently.
The plan has been verified.
Xiaobai led the ship girls along the long cement road and approached the golden beach.
Gradually, you can see the end of the beach at a glance.
Just as Xiaobai and the others arrived at the beach, their eyes were drawn to a solemn and imposing black garrison at the end of the beach, nestled by the water.
The Black Flame Garrison is of a fairly good size.
Although it is far smaller than the newbie amusement park, it is at least larger than any of the naval bases that Xiaobai has ever seen.
Under the sunlight, it gleamed black.
From a distance, it looks just like a small black castle.
At the castle's main gate, two ship girls dressed in black stood guard on either side of the entrance. They remained motionless, staring blankly at the sea like guards and statues.
It appears they are constantly monitoring the sea conditions.
"...It's all just superficial."
Upon seeing the two ship girls guarding the gate, Pompeii first showed a rather disgusted expression. "If you want to check the sea conditions, there's no need to pretend to guard the gate at this distance. You could easily sense it from inside the naval base, right?"
"Hmm...that's how it is." Xiaobai nodded.
The sea area reconnaissance of the new naval base is basically done by Lexington 24 hours a day. Lexington does not need to stand on the dock to watch the sea area all the time. Just put a carrier-based aircraft on the sea surface and it can effectively monitor the sea area.
Xiao Bai and the others did not linger in place and continued walking towards the gate of the Black Flame Garrison.
Regardless of whether it is formalism or not.
Now that there are two black-clad ship girls guarding the main gate, it means that Xiaobai and the others will definitely come into contact with these two ship girls soon.
Xiao Bai certainly didn't believe that such a dark and imposing garrison would simply let them in without asking any questions...
The first battle is probably about to begin.
Just thinking about it.
Xiao Bai and the others had already arrived at the main gate of the Black Smoke Garrison.
At the forefront of the ship girls, Ooi stepped out first.
Ooi stood with her hands on her hips in front of the two ship girls at the entrance of the Black Flame Naval Base. She stretched out her fingers, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth in her signature challenging tone, full of energy.
"Hey! You two in front, listen up! We're going into your naval base now. Call your admiral out and tell him we are—"
Before Dai-i could finish speaking...
next second.
Something surprising happened.
The two black-clad ship girls guarding the gate exchanged a silent glance, and then bowed directly to Xiaobai and the others.
"We've kept you waiting." The two black-clad ship girls said in unison, then stepped back and made way for the entrance to the naval base. "—The Admiral has been waiting for you for a long time."
"—Huh?" Ooi stared blankly at the two surprisingly easy-going ship girls, her mouth agape. "—Uh?"
Xiaobai and the others behind Dajing were also taken aback.
what's the situation?
Aren't these two ship girls supposed to be guards?
Why are you so easy to talk to?
"Admiral? Did you contact the admiral of this naval base?" Iowa lowered his head curiously, looking at Xiaobai with a strange expression.
"Me? Uh... I did make a few phone calls on the train, but I didn't contact this naval base... Besides, I don't even have the naval base's phone number."
Xiao Bai replied with a puzzled look.
“…That’s strange.” Iowa looked up in confusion.
"Uh... it is strange, but oh well, it's not a bad thing to be able to go directly into the naval base. Let's go. According to the two ship girls guarding the gate, it seems that the admiral of this naval base is still waiting for us."
After Xiaobai finished speaking, she silently glanced at the black-clad ship girls bowing to them on both sides of the gate, then put aside her doubts and led the ship girls behind her into the Black Flame Garrison.
Even after Xiaobai and the ship girls passed through the gate of the Black Flame Naval Base, the black-clad ship girls guarding both sides of the gate did not react at all.
Xiaobai glanced curiously at the ship girl at the door again.
"Excuse me, where is your admiral waiting for us?"
"Same place, go straight to the main hall, the admiral will be back soon."
"Oh, thank you."
"..."
This naval base is really quite welcoming.
Xiaobai and the ship girls followed the path pointed out by the ship girl in black and headed straight for the main hall of the naval base.
The internal structure of the Black Flame Naval Base is roughly the same as that of the Beginner Naval Base. As soon as you enter the gate, you can see the plaza of the Black Flame Naval Base. Occasionally, a few ship girls dressed in black pass by in twos and threes around the plaza. When Xiaobai brushed past these ship girls, these ship girls in black glanced at Xiaobai with emotionless eyes for a moment, but did not make any move to stop her.
They walked smoothly into the reception hall of the central building of the Black Flame Garrison.
When Xiaobai and the others entered the waiting room, there was no one there yet. Several black-clad ship girls were cleaning the waiting room and replacing the dishes with plates of colorful fruit.
They saw Xiaobai and the others enter.
The black-clad ship girls cleaning the waiting room glanced at Xiaobai, then put away their cleaning tools and bowed slightly to Xiaobai and the others.
"Please wait a moment, the admiral will be here shortly."
After saying that, the black-clad ship girls left, dragging their cleaning tools along.
Xiaobai watched, somewhat bewildered, as the black-clad ship girls, carrying rags and brooms, left the reception room in neat rows.
Subsequently.
Didn't wait a few minutes.
Another set of footsteps sounded.
A middle-aged man dressed in an admiral's uniform led the black-clad ship girls behind him as they pushed open the door to the waiting room and entered.
The rustling sound filled the large reception room for a moment, echoing throughout.
"Hahahaha, welcome, welcome!" The middle-aged male admiral burst into a loud, booming laugh as soon as he entered. "You've come from afar, everyone! You've all had a long journey!"
The middle-aged man in the admiral's uniform had a fairly regular face and clean, fair skin. His white admiral's uniform, which looked as if it had been painted, was shiny and white. He greeted Xiaobai and the others like a leader, and gave them a friendly smile.
Chapter 1349 Manufacturable Disasters
Xiaobai's gaze did not linger on the man, but instead swept over the ship girls behind him.
