For the deep-sea deans, the deep-sea fog filled with the aura of the deep sea is the freshest air in the world. But for humans and ship girls, the air quality here is no different from that of a heavily polluted area. Ordinary humans risk dying even if they take a single breath here. Even ship girls with ship equipment to protect them will cough incessantly from the strong aura of the deep sea.
But there is one exception.
In the thick fog, Missouri completely ignored the deep-sea atmosphere around her, and yawned lazily with her mouth half-covered.
After yawning, Missouri wiped away a tear that had been squeezed out of the corner of her eye, and then noticed that several pairs of eyes were staring at her.
"Please excuse my poor performance." Missouri smiled slightly at the Deep Sea Deans around him. "I haven't had enough rest these past few days, which has caused me to make a fool of myself in front of you seniors. I'm truly sorry."
"...If I remember correctly, you should be a ship girl, right?" Pachina looked at Missouri with a strange expression.
“Yes,” Missouri replied with a smile.
"Then why don't you react to the aura of the deep sea at all?" Savoy on the other side also frowned, looking puzzled.
"Regarding this... Missouri thinks it might be a matter of individual constitution after the modification," Missouri replied with a smile.
"That's really strange..." the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy muttered.
The deans of the Deep Sea Academy were about to continue speaking when suddenly the thick fog around them parted, and a white figure emerged.
"noob?"
Everyone turned to look at Xiaobai.
"Yamato-neechan, it seems everyone's here. We should probably head home now," Shiro said to Yamato in the distance, waving away the mist.
"Is everyone here?" Upon hearing this, Deep Sea Yamato glanced at everyone's faces before turning to Super Yamato. "Then, Super Yamato, I'm counting on you!"
"Yes, ma'am! Yamato-nee!" Super Yamato quickly made a single gesture with one hand, summoning a dark teleportation vortex in front of her with a whoosh.
As the teleportation vortex appeared, Xiaobai quickly waved towards the thick fog behind him.
"The portal is open, come quickly!" Xiaobai called out.
As Xiaobai called out, a tall figure slowly emerged from behind the thick fog.
The thick deep-sea fog seemed to have discovered something awe-inspiring, and automatically dispersed to both sides, clearing a long path.
After the road, Frederick the Great, expressionless, slowly appeared before the crowd.
As soon as Frederick the Great appeared, the Deep Sea Deans present all froze and stared at her silently.
Frederick the Great was the tallest of all the Deep Sea Deans that Xiaobai had encountered so far. She was even taller than Super Dahe. Although her height was a disadvantage compared to her outstanding appearance and full figure, it miraculously became her unique advantage. However, when she appeared in front of everyone, her height naturally cast a shadow, creating a sense of physical majesty that made the people around her involuntarily tense up.
In addition, this person was an enemy that everyone had tried to defeat together, even with their combined efforts, which made the sense of authority and oppression even more pronounced.
"Frederick, over here." Little White tugged at Frederick the Great's sleeve, gesturing for her to bend down and enter the teleportation vortex of the Super Yamato.
"..." Frederick the Great.
Frederick the Great lowered his red eyes and silently looked at the little white creature that couldn't even touch his chest. Then he nodded slightly, bent down, raised his hand, and silently entered the teleportation vortex of the super-Yamato.
After Frederick the Great disappeared, the Deep Sea Deans present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiao Bai couldn't help but chuckle at the reactions of the Deep Sea Deans present.
It seems that Frederick the Great left a considerable psychological scar on everyone, after all, she was so powerful.
However, this psychological trauma is not something that can be explained in a few words. Xiaobai did not say anything to the Deep Sea Deans present, but just smiled slightly and became the second to enter the teleportation vortex of the Super Yamato.
Xiao Bai's figure entered the teleportation vortex and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When the other deep-sea deans saw that Xiaobai was the second to go in, they also rushed to squeeze into the teleportation vortex.
The crowd filed in, and in the blink of an eye, only Super Big and one other person remained on the waterway.
After taking one last look at its surroundings, Chao Da breathed a sigh of relief and turned to enter its teleportation vortex.
The teleportation vortex disappeared.
It's as if it never appeared in the deep-sea city of Chapter 8.
Chapter 2194 The Pillar to Heaven
a long distance away.
The weather at the newbie naval base is exceptionally good today, with clear skies and bright sunshine.
York, rubbing his shoulders after finishing his morning training, left the training ground with his friend Baltimore and headed towards the heavy cruiser girls' dormitory.
York's fair face was covered with large drops of clear sweat, and her clothes were soaked through, clinging to her body in a wrinkled mess, and slowly emitting heat as she moved.
"Ha—it really does make my whole body feel warm after a morning workout!" York said to the ship girl beside her with a satisfied smile, completely unconcerned about the sweat on her body. "Right, Baltimore!"
Compared to York, who was covered in sweat but still full of energy, the red-haired ship girl next to her looked much more tired and weak.
Baltimore had his arms hanging limply, his steps were uneven, and his body leaned forward unconsciously, as if each step required immense effort.
"York...do you really have inexhaustible stamina..." Baltimore, barely managing to keep up with York, complained enviously, "With such a heavy training session today, don't you even feel tired at all..."
"Huh? Is today's training volume very high?" York asked, his eyes wide.
“Three times, a full three times! You said that since Instructor Washington wasn't home today, we couldn't slack off on our daily training, so you dragged me into doing three times the daily training!” Baltimore complained. “I’m practically dried up by you, and you’re acting like nothing happened…”
Baltimore's voice was full of grievance, and it seemed that because he was almost exhausted, his voice trembled at the end.
"Ah... this..." After listening to Baltimore's complaints, York thought for a moment and seemed to finally remember that today's training program was much more extensive than the previous days. He scratched his head in realization and smiled awkwardly at Baltimore, "Uh... sorry, sorry... well, I don't really know why, but ever since I joined our naval base, it's like I have inexhaustible energy. It's so hard for me to feel uncomfortable if I don't do something every day."
"You... are a monster, aren't you?"
"Hehehe, it's not that exaggerated." York laughed heartily, gesturing wildly at Baltimore. "Look, I was just thinking that we're the ship girls who recently joined the naval base, and our strength is already quite weaker compared to our seniors. In order to be able to help the admiral as soon as possible, how can we not work hard!"
“Admiral…” Baltimore sighed as he listened to York’s words, muttering softly, “York, what you said isn’t wrong…”
"Oh? By the way," York said, as if remembering something, and asked Baltimore, "Baltimore, speaking of which, you probably arrived here a few months before me, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Baltimore looked over.
"When I first arrived, I heard many seniors say that Baltimore was the admiral's concubine, won over in a battle with someone else..."
"Waaaaaahh ...
"Huh??? Judging from your expression, is it really true?!" York was startled by Baltimore's reaction.
“No, no…but…” Baltimore seemed reluctant to explain at first, but seeing that York seemed to have misunderstood something, she could only sigh and explain softly, “Essentially, there’s not much difference…but actually, it’s my fault…”
The origins of Baltimore are hardly a secret in the newbie naval base.
Baltimore told York how he had met Little White by chance, fallen in love with her at first sight, and longed for her day and night. Finally, with the help of the previous admiral, he switched to the rookie naval base.
"...In short, that's roughly how it happened." Baltimore said, one hand on his chest, his face full of shame. "Well, in short, my previous admiral introduced me to my current admiral in this way. He's the leader I'm most grateful to in my life, a very good person, and I feel very sorry for him..."
At this point, Baltimore seemed to feel somewhat inferior about his origins, to the point that he was hesitant to look York in the eye.
But next second.
York's delighted voice reached Baltimore's ears.
"Hey! You're the same way!" York exclaimed.
"Huh? What?" Baltimore was stunned and subconsciously looked up.
York looked delighted, her eyes filled with affection, and she quickly approached Baltimore.
"Baltimore! What a coincidence, we're the same! I also switched from another naval base! I was also introduced here by the admiral to the admiral!"
"You, you too??"
“Yes!” York exclaimed with a sigh, hands on his hips. “I thought I was the only weirdo in the world, but it turns out there are people just like me, so close yet so far!”
"Ah this..."
"So, you're the Admiral's concubine now?" York tilted his head, looking curious.
“No, no… well… although the admiral did keep her promise regarding the exercise and asked if I wanted a wedding ring…” Baltimore said, sounding somewhat disappointed, “but I refused.”
"Huh? Why? Don't you like the Admiral?"
“Although I do like him… but… it would be too unfair to just accept the Admiral’s wedding ring like that.” Baltimore shook her head. “It’s unfair to the Admiral, and to the other ship girls in the naval base who also like him. My previous Admiral went to great lengths to send me here, and I will never forget that kindness. That’s why I must protect the purity of that kindness and try my best to win the Admiral’s favor with an upright and honorable performance!”
"Wow, you're amazing!" York was somewhat stunned.
"Yes, really?" Baltimore's face immediately turned red.
“But I think I understand what you mean!” York gave Baltimore a thumbs up. “Keep it up, Baltimore!”
“Thank you…” Baltimore blushed as she accepted York’s encouragement. “York, you too…”
"Hehe, thanks!"
York stretched contentedly and looked up at the sun in the sky.
"Ah! The weather is as beautiful as ever today!" York tiptoed and glanced in the direction of the cafeteria, then his eyes flashed with a glint as he smiled at Baltimore and said, "By the way! Reputation Sister said yesterday that the cafeteria is going to experiment with a new dish today. When the cafeteria opens, do you want me to treat you to one?"
"Sister Renown's new dish...this..."
"What's wrong? Don't you trust the cooking skills of our naval base's head maid?"
"Sister Renown's cooking is delicious! It's just that, every time she develops a new dish, the style always gets weird. I... I remembered that dish called 'Gazing into the Abyss'..."
"To be honest, putting aside its bizarre appearance, that dish is actually quite delicious if you eat it with your eyes closed."
"I...I think I'll pass..."
Baltimore covered his eyes in fear.
York and Baltimore's laughter echoed in the middle of the road.
then.
Right at this moment.
Not far from York and Baltimore, near the naval base's canteen, an unusually strong, explosive aura of the deep sea rose from the ground!
The dark aura of the deep sea instantly transformed into a pillar of light that seemed to reach the sky, appearing in the direction of the cafeteria. A powerful aura of the deep sea followed, instantly suppressing the smiles on York and Baltimore's faces.
York and Baltimore stared, mouths agape, at the deep-sea energy beam that seemed both incredibly close and incredibly distant.
"Eh...? That's... the cafeteria?"
"This...what is this?"
York and Baltimore swallowed hard, their bodies involuntarily bending down, instinctively adopting a fighting stance.
"Such a strong deep-sea aura... This aura is even more terrifying than the Deep Sea Dean I've ever seen... What on earth happened up ahead..." York glanced around and realized that at this time, the only people around the deep-sea energy pillar in front of them were her and Baltimore. So, disregarding her own situation, she quickly patted Baltimore on the back, "Baltimore! Quick! There's something going on at the naval base! Let's go check it out!"
"But...but such a big thing has happened, according to the naval base regulations, Lexington should be notified first..."
“No need! The formation is so large! Everyone in the naval base saw it! The main force of the naval base has already gone to Chapter 8 with the admiral. There are a few people left in the naval base right now, and the others can't get here in time. We are the closest to them, so if anything happens, we will be the first to lend a hand!” Yorke took Baltimore's hand. “Baltimore, can you fight now?”
“Okay!” Baltimore’s dazed expression quickly hardened, and she nodded seriously. “It’s just a little loss of stamina. I can recover quickly by summoning my ship equipment. No problem!”
"Okay! Let's go!"
York and Baltimore sped toward the deep-sea energy pillar before them.
The heavy cruiser traveled at full speed, and the two of them arrived at the cafeteria entrance in the blink of an eye.
As York and Baltimore arrived at their destination, they finally saw the true form of the "sky-high deep-sea energy pillar."
York and Baltimore were stunned by the scene before them.
Strictly speaking, what appeared in the center of the newbie garrison was not an energy pillar, but an extremely dense aura of the deep sea.
Appearing before York and Baltimore were a dozen or so Deep Sea Deans, shrouded in a dense aura of the deep sea, radiating a terrifying pressure, their faces and figures obscured.
Chapter 2195 I am a dignified Dean of the Deep Sea Academy...
The scent of the deep sea.
The scent of the deep sea.
It still smells of the deep sea.
A dense, tangible aura of the deep sea accompanied the Deans of the Deep Sea, naturally appearing in the air and converging to form a black pillar of light reaching towards the sky.
York and Baltimore, upon arriving at the scene, were momentarily speechless as they looked at the Deep Sea Deans enveloped in pillars of light.
Looking at that terrifying group of beings whose shapes and appearances were indistinguishable, York and Baltimore's thoughts ceased, and their legs began to tremble uncontrollably. The ship girl's instinct for survival was instantly ignited in their hearts, screaming in their minds that they would turn and run for their lives at the first moment.
—These are the directors of the Deep Sea Research Institute, and there are more than a dozen directors of the Deep Sea Research Institute!
This overwhelming aura of the deep sea, this terrifying force capable of slaughtering an entire nation and sounding the highest level of danger alarms in human cities, is absolutely not something two heavy cruiser ship girls can withstand!
In the towering blackness, the tallest, blurry figure turned its head slightly and looked in York's direction.
A moment!
