Elder brother's garrison

Page 1112

It's a blend of sweet tea and wonderful aroma.

It came suddenly.

So much so that Xiaobai was completely unprepared.

Xiao Bai didn't move. She just stared blankly at the few soft strands of golden hair that slipped down the fair and smooth forehead of the blond stall owner.

A kiss should be very brief.

But it felt like only a few seconds had passed.

It felt like several years had passed.

The blonde stall owner finally withdrew her lips. She took a deep breath, wiped her lips expressionlessly, and quietly looked at the dumbfounded Xiaobai.

“Strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable, but since you treated me to something delicious this time, I'll make an exception and consider it your reward.” The blonde stall owner stood up and waved to Xiaobai. “See you next time, you lecherous little sister.”

After finishing his sentence, the blond stall owner turned around and walked towards the other end of the street.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Xiaobai's sight while Xiaobai was in a daze.

Little White blinked, then plopped down on the restaurant steps, staring blankly in the direction where the blond stall owner had disappeared.

Xiao Bai's lips trembled.

The thrilling touch from just now seemed to still linger on it, carrying a faint sweet fragrance.

"Ah... Oh no..." Xiaobai covered her mouth, looking lingeringly shocked. "Just now... it was too sudden. I didn't even have a chance to absorb the deep-sea energy from that older sister's body..."

"..."

"..."

"what."

"I...I'm not lecherous..."

Xiao Bai blushed and muttered softly and stubbornly in the direction where the blond stall owner had disappeared.

With her head down, Xiaobai returned to her seat in the restaurant.

The ship girls continued eating their dinners, quietly discussing the explosions they had just heard.

"Ah, Admiral, you're back! -- Where's that blonde lady?" Changchun noticed Xiaobai quietly sitting back down in her seat and asked her.

"Uh... she, she's gone," Xiaobai said, sounding somewhat absent-minded.

"Huh? You're leaving already?" Changchun exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm? Admiral, did that lady say anything before she left?" Iowa put down her chopsticks and asked Shiro with great interest.

“Uh… she…” Xiaobai looked at Iowa’s very interested expression, thought for a while, and was too embarrassed to say the blonde stall owner’s comment that he thought Iowa was troublesome, “She said… the food is quite delicious…”

"I see." Iowa nodded, picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiaobai's rice bowl, the smile on her lips was hard to hide for some reason, "Admiral, eat meat."

"Oh... thank you, Iowa." Xiaobai picked up her rice bowl.

"Did that ship girl mention where her Deepsea Dean Metal came from?" Wisconsin asked, overhearing Xiaobai's conversation.

She said she hit it herself.

"Oh, I see. Then there's nothing we can do." Wisconsin sighed. "I thought we could follow the trail to a deep-sea academy's metal farm."

"It would be wonderful if such a place really existed in the world."

Xiao Bai looked at his rice bowl with a sense of loss.

Staring at the glistening, stewed piece of meat in the rice bowl.

Unconsciously, Xiao Bai recalled what he had just done with the blond stall owner at the restaurant entrance, and the lingering, strange sensation on his lips came back to him.

"Admiral?" Missouri asked, noticing Xiaobai staring intently at the piece of meat. "What's wrong?"

"Huh? Uh... I, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright!"

Xiao Bai slammed his rice bowl down on the table and started shoveling food into his mouth with his chopsticks.

In short.

The matter concerning the blond stall owner can be considered closed for now.

Xiaobai and the ship girls quickly finished their meal with Luo Lian, left the restaurant, and headed back to Ella's house.

While passing by the pedestrian street, Xiaobai and the others took a look at the area near the pedestrian street where the explosion had occurred. The area seemed to be burning fiercely. When Xiaobai and the others arrived, the police had already set up a "no loitering" zone, and fire trucks were parked nearby.

There were quite a few people filming around.

Xiaobai and the ship girl lingered at the edge of the area and consulted with a few people who were filming. These people were very generous in sharing their observations with Xiaobai and her group of beauties.

According to these kind-hearted onlookers, after the explosion, ambulances arrived at the scene quickly. After evacuating the crowd, they rescued several men who were charred black and barely alive from the thick smoke. The fire brigade arrived on time to extinguish the fire and investigate. The police also restricted the area, saying that it was easy to cause a secondary explosion and that no unauthorized personnel were allowed to enter.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Xiaobai and his group watched the videos shown by the enthusiastic crowd and felt that this matter should have nothing to do with the ship girls. Although there were still some things they couldn't understand, there were already many things in the world that they couldn't understand, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

Xiaobai and the ship girls left the area with peace of mind, crossed the pedestrian street, and headed towards Ella's house at the other end.

The iron gate to Ella's house was still tightly shut, but the person in charge of opening and closing the gate had a very good memory. After seeing Xiaobai and his group approach, the gate opened a crack, allowing them to go inside.

Inside the iron gate.

Looking up, you can see Ella's maids carrying their tools, coming and going in front of you.

As soon as Xiaobai stepped through the door, a maid walked past him.

Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow and quickly recognized that this was a familiar-looking maid.

"Ah, it's Miss Connor!"

The maid who had been walking past Xiaobai and the others stopped steadily. She stood still, turned around, and looked at the crowd in front of the door.

"...So it's you all, distinguished guests." Connor bowed to Xiaobai and the others expressionlessly, his voice calm yet sincere. "I hope you all have a pleasant time in the city."

"When I go out... I'm actually doing alright... except I encountered a thief once..." Xiaobai muttered awkwardly. As she spoke, her gaze suddenly stopped on Connor's face, and she looked at him curiously for a while.

The maid Connor that Xiaobai saw before leaving the house had a fair and clean face, and a dignified and delicate appearance, which made her very likable. So Xiaobai couldn't help but take a second look at her, and remembered her very clearly.

When I came back this time.

Xiao Bai, however, discovered...

On the maid Connor's fair forehead, there was a small white bandage.

"Miss Connor, your forehead..."

Little White looked curiously at Connor's forehead.

“…Well, Connor subconsciously reached up and touched the bandage on his forehead. “I bumped into it while walking, please excuse me.”

"...It's not very likely to hit the forehead in a normal impact..."

"Correction: I tripped while walking, fell down the stairs, and ended up headfirst, hitting my forehead on the corner of a wooden table that happened to be passing by," Connor said expressionlessly to Little White.

"...Falling flat on the ground is alright..." Xiaobai didn't know where to begin criticizing this. "Miss Connor, you...so you're this kind of girl after all..."

"..." Connor turned his gaze away, seemingly unwilling to explain anything.

"All right……"

Xiao Bai sighed and walked up to Connor.

"..." Connor thought Little White was going to do something to him, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything bad." Xiaobai smiled at Connor, then stepped forward again and carefully examined the bandage on Connor's forehead. "Hmm... this bandage looks very clean. Miss Connor, this shouldn't be a bleeding wound on your forehead, right?"

"..." Connor looked at Xiaobai's serious expression and nodded silently.

"Hmm, speaking of bruises on the forehead, I've actually had one too." Xiaobai took Connor's hand and smiled at her, "Miss Connor, do you like eggs? If it's a bruise, remember to boil an egg in warm water, peel it, and place it on the bruise, gently rolling it around a few times. That will help it heal faster."

"..." Connor.

At this point, Xiaobai smiled and took a few steps back, giving Connor some privacy.

"Okay, that's all I wanted to say," Xiaobai said to Connor. "By the way, Miss Connor, which direction should we go to find Ella?"

“…That building, just go down to the basement.” Connor pointed to a white Western-style building next to him.

"Ah, okay, thank you, Miss Connor." Xiaobai smiled at Connor, pulled the ship girl beside her towards the Western-style building, and then disappeared into the entrance of the building.

Maid Connor stood silently in the spot, gazing in the direction where Xiaobai and his group had disappeared.

After a long time.

Connor looked away and glanced down at his palm.

Connor walked into the entrance of another building, silently went upstairs, and arrived at the dormitory building on the first floor. Behind the dormitory building was a food storage room. Connor walked into the storage room expressionlessly, then took out two raw eggs and came out.

Connor pushed open the door to the maid's quarters on one side.

Go into the room.

Connor tossed the two eggs into the teapot, pressed the button to boil water, and then stood in front of the full-length mirror in the room, staring at his reflection.

Connor raised his hand and unwrapped the bandage on his forehead, one circle at a time.

The gauze fell to the ground.

On Connor's fair forehead.

There was a subtle bruise, as if it had been hit by a bullet.

Chapter 1430 Underground Experimental Zone

Xiao Bai and his group entered the building that Connor had indicated.

Ella's family owns many buildings. In addition to the dormitory building where Xiaobai and the others had stayed, there are also activity centers, entertainment centers, and other buildings. The building that Connor pointed out to Xiaobai and the others was the furthest research center.

It appears to be a place where Ella's family conducts scientific research.

As soon as Xiaobai and the others entered the building, a wide-open space came into view.

The interior of this white villa was very spacious. As soon as the group entered, they saw that the floor was covered with white tiles, and even the doors and walls around the house were spotless and white.

Although the building's layout and colors are quite eye-catching, its overall style is not much different from the Yanjing Naval Equipment Research Center that Xiaobai visited before.

The group walked forward for a while on the first floor and arrived at the elevator.

The group passed by some snow-white rooms, but when they looked through the windows, they found that there were no experimental instruments in those rooms, only some white tables and chairs neatly stacked. Apart from that, the rooms were completely empty.

"What a strange place," Saratoga muttered to herself.

"The way the furniture is stacked in those rooms doesn't look like how it's usually done. It looks like those rooms haven't been used for a long time," Changchun said in a low voice, frowning with curiosity. "It feels like those rooms are..."

Changchun covered his mouth as he spoke, looking unsure whether he should say it or not.

"Just filling in the numbers?" Missouri asked Changchun with a smile.

"Ah, um, that's what I meant." Changchun nodded sheepishly.

“A bunch of spacious rooms are placed here, but no one is using them. It does give the impression that these rooms are just there to make up the numbers,” Luo Lian nodded.

"No, it might just be my guess..." Changchun shook his head sheepishly.

“I think so too.” Luo Lian shook her head and looked at Xiao Bai. “Speaking of which, Xiao Bai.”

"Um?"

"We've been here for so long, have you noticed anything wrong with this place?"

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked Luo Lian curiously.

Luo Lian held up one finger.

"people."

"people?"

"Xiao Bai, you've all been in Ella's hometown for so long. But apart from those large numbers of black-clad IOs (Part 1) Qi Shi Wu Jiu Si Jiu Maids, we haven't seen anyone else yet," Luo Lian said.

"..." Xiaobai blinked, then suddenly realized, "Ah...right, Lianlian is right."

As the saying goes, all who come from afar are guests.

Regardless of who the visitor is, it is a basic practice for the head of the household to step forward and show hospitality to anyone who comes to visit.

Even in the newbie naval base, when some fearless ship girls occasionally come to apply for exercises, Xiaobai, the admiral, always has to step in and help them out.

However, Ella's hometown has acted strangely in this regard. Xiaobai and the other top ten garrisons in the world are, at the very least, distinguished guests who came to help Ella's family resolve the deep-sea crisis in the vicinity. Yet, the head of Ella's family has not shown his face even once, which is really too unreasonable.

Even more extreme.
