Elder brother's garrison

Page 2277

Under the silent watchful eyes of the heavily guarded black-clad ship girls, the nurse ship girls swallowed hard, glancing cautiously at each other before extending their wrists and tremblingly picking up their second bowls of pork chop rice.

This meal.

Eating there felt like being in prison.

……

"Admiral, speaking of which, can Admiral Duan really hold off those medical ship girls for us?" In Nanxing's dormitory, Yubari, while organizing the equipment she had taken out of her ship rigging, turned to Shiro and asked, as if she had just remembered something. "Our secret operation this time is estimated to take at least two hours. Admiral Duan probably can't hold them off that long just by treating them to a meal..."

"Well... let's trust Sister Duan. She always has a way." Xiao Bai said with a smile, "Has Sister Duan ever let us down?"

"It really is."

Yubari thought Shiro's words made sense, so she nodded and continued to focus her attention on the instrument in front of her.

Yubari bent down and inserted a dozen or so tangled data cables into the instrument on the ground. She tidied up the coils and then attached funnel-shaped contacts to the other end of the cables before coming to Nanxing.

"Admiral Nanxing, come here." Yubari said to Nanxing, holding the tentacles.

"..." Nanxing looked at Yubari blankly, but still subconsciously raised her arms.

“Admiral Nanxing, be careful. This machine is from our ship equipment research center. It’s used to monitor your vital signs and the fluctuations in your ship girl’s power in real time. It’s very expensive, costing several million.” Yubari said to Nanxing while placing the data cable connector of the machine on her body. “This house call is considered a private medical visit. If you damage the machine, there’s no way we can get reimbursed.”

Nanxing nodded quickly, and she cooperated by raising her long, slender, white arms, letting Yuzhang wrap the data cable around her body, slip it under her nightgown, and press it against her full breasts, lower abdomen, thighs, shoulders, neck, and other places.

Before long, Nanxing was connected to twenty or thirty data cables of various sizes.

After connecting the data cable, Yubari took out a bunch of medical supplies and attached them to Nanxing's body one by one.

Nanxing blinked, letting Yubari manipulate her body like a puppet on a string.

At the same time, Nanxing looked at Xiaobai.

"Speaking of which... how are you going to treat me?" Nanxing asked Xiaobai.

"Sister Nanxing, do you know how you became like this?" Xiaobai didn't answer Nanxing immediately, but asked her instead.

“…” Nanxing thought for a while and shook his head.

"I've discussed your situation with Yubari and the others, and the conclusion we've reached is that the reason you, Nanxing, are gradually developing a ship girl physique is actually related to your experiences during Chapter 8," Xiaobai gently explained to Nanxing. "I won't go into the specifics, but to put it simply, because you were invaded by deep-sea energy some time ago, and later, to treat you, I wrote many high-energy runes on your body, and then you spent so much time with me in the ship girl repair pool—all these coincidences inadvertently stimulated and awakened the dormant ship girl bloodline within you."

"Awakening...?" Nanxing asked blankly.

"That's how it is." Xiaobai said somewhat apologetically, "If we're really talking about it, I do have to take a lot of responsibility for how you ended up like this, Sister Nanxing... or rather, most of the reason is because of me... If I hadn't written so many runes on you and dragged you into the healing pool, you wouldn't be like this."

“You did this to save me…this has nothing to do with you.” Nanxing shook his head.

"Thank you for your understanding, Sister Nanxing." Xiaobai smiled at Nanxing.

"Once you find the reason, can you turn me back into a human?" Nanxing paused for a moment before continuing to ask Xiaobai.

"Ah... about that, it's not possible yet." Xiaobai shook her head and said to Nanxing, "Sister Nanxing, your current situation is rather special. As you should know, in principle, the simplest and most convenient way to turn a ship girl back into a human is to remove her ship equipment. However, Sister Nanxing, your transformation into a ship girl doesn't rely on ship equipment. Your current state is like an intermediary who doesn't have ship equipment but possesses the power of a ship girl. Therefore, we need to turn you into a ship girl first before we can turn you back into a human."

"Become a ship girl..." Nanxing murmured Xiaobai's words. She thought for a while, then looked at Xiaobai with a puzzled expression, "...How do I become one?"

Xiao Bai was about to open his mouth when he heard this.

Just then, a voice came from behind her.

"Admiral, the door is fixed." Super Yamato said to Shiro, holding a wrench, smacking his lips as he held the door that had been pushed back into the wall.

"Yeah, just in time." Shiro smiled at Super Yamato. "Super Yamato, help us close the door."

"Then I'll go out for some fresh air." Chao Dahe put the wrench and screws on the desk, then gave Xiaobai a thumbs-up, closed the door, and went out.

The door was closed, and the brightness inside the room decreased slightly.

Xiao Bai walked to the bedside, pulled up Nanxing's curtains, and gently closed them.

After blocking the view from outside, Xiaobai's gaze returned to Nanxing.

"Sister Nanxing, the way we're going to turn you into a ship girl first... is like this." Xiaobai raised her hand and gently waved her palm towards the empty space in the room.

White light flashes.

A massive aircraft carrier appeared out of thin air on the floor.

Upon seeing the ship equipment that suddenly appeared, Nanxing's calm expression froze. Her gaze shifted to the hand that Xiaobai had just been holding, and her eyes widened.

Sensing Nanxing's surprise, Xiaobai withdrew her hand, smiled wryly, and, while supporting the aircraft carrier's rigging, said to Nanxing.

"It's very simple. Just implant this ship equipment into your body, Sister Nanxing."

“…You just now…” Nanxing leaned forward slightly.

"Hey! No, don't move!" Yubari quickly stopped Nansei. "The machine is still right next to your feet! I'll have to pay for it if you break it!"

Nanxing quickly quieted down, but she still stared intently at Xiaobai, her eyes shimmering with emotion.

Nanxing stared at Xiaobai for a long time before slowly opening his mouth.

"...That was...the ship's equipment space?"

"Mmm." Xiaobai touched her right hand and nodded.

"……The same to you?"

"No, no, no, I'm human, a pure-blooded human," Xiaobai said, giving an awkward laugh. "But I do have ship equipment, though..."

"...?"

"I'll tell you about my ship equipment another time, when we have the chance," Xiaobai said, shaking her head. "Right now, what we need to consider is helping you get through this hurdle, right?"

“…” Nanxing remained silent, and nodded slightly as she looked at Xiaobai’s face.

Nanxing gazed at Xiaobai with a mixture of understanding and realization, but also with other emotions.

It flashed by in an instant, and before Xiaobai could catch a glimpse, Nanxing returned to normal.

"Our treatment process is as follows. First, we need to implant this ship equipment into your body," Xiaobai said to Nanxing. "After you obtain the ship equipment, as your physical body and the ship equipment fully fuse, the source of power within you will be replaced by this aircraft carrier ship equipment. Once you have completely become a ship girl, we will perform the ship equipment separation surgery to remove your ship equipment. At that time, you will lose the ship equipment and return to being an ordinary person."

"Hmm..." Nanxing nodded.

"Sister Nanxing, let me tell you first, this surgery may not go smoothly." Xiaobai said to Nanxing, "After all, this ship equipment is not your own. Although I have tried to get the ship equipment that is most suitable for your physique, the occurrence of rejection reaction cannot be 100% avoided."

"Will there be any danger?" Nanxing asked.

"It's not dangerous, with Vesta and Yubari watching over us." Xiaobai pointed to the two ship girls. "With them around, and so many high-end instruments protecting us, even if something goes wrong, we can still ensure your safety, Nanxing."

“…Hmm.” Nanxing nodded silently upon hearing this.

"My preparations are complete." Yubari finally let out a long sigh of relief and stood up from Nansei's side. "All the instruments are connected, everything is foolproof!"

Chapter 3189 You dare ruin the Admiral's good deed!

"I'm in position now, Admiral." The Vess rolled up her two smooth arms, and the ship rigging behind her resembled several mechanical arms carrying tools of various sizes. She spoke earnestly from the side, "In case of any accidents, I can swiftly peel the ship rigging off Admiral Nanxing a split second before the ship rigging's rejection reaction harms her! Although doing so will basically destroy the ship rigging, I can guarantee Admiral Nanxing's safety will be absolutely guaranteed!"

"It really makes me feel safe," Xiaobai said, looking at the female hearth goddess and Yubari with some emotion.

"It mainly depends on you, Admiral. We're just doing some small tasks." The female hearth goddess and Yubari gave Shiro a thumbs up, smiling and showing off their white teeth.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai walked up to Nanxing.

Nowadays, on the dormitory floor of Nanxing, there are two or three rows of instruments of various sizes that are running, with data constantly being refreshed on the instruments.

Xiaobai stretched out his hand.

"Sister Nanxing, let's not delay, let's begin," Xiaobai said.

"..." Nanxing looked at Xiaobai, who was so close to her, and slowly reached out and placed her palm flat on Xiaobai's palm.

“Vitality signs are normal, and the fluctuations in the ship girl’s power are also normal. We can proceed with the ship equipment linking,” Yubari said, squatting beside the instrument.

“Sister Nanxing, next, I will transfer my mental energy into your body and help you establish a link with this ship equipment. You may feel a little uncomfortable at that time, but please try to relax your body as much as possible,” Xiaobai said.

“…” Nanxing stared blankly at Xiaobai and nodded gently.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief. She closed her eyes, and her spiritual energy overflowed, covering Nan Xing's body.

Xiao Bai's spiritual energy adhered to Nan Xing's body with almost no resistance. Nan Xing's body absorbed Xiao Bai's spiritual energy as smoothly as a cotton ball.

During this process, Nanxing did not even have any physical reaction; she simply cooperated quietly with Xiaobai.

Yubari, who was squatting next to the instrument, was also surprised as he looked at the data on the instrument.

"Wow... Admiral, are you sure you went in?" Yubari asked.

"They've gone in."

"Admiral Nansei's physical condition hasn't changed at all..." Yubari said from the side.

"Haha..." Xiaobai chuckled.

Xiao Bai did have a feeling that her spiritual power was not "entering" Nan Xing's body, but rather "returning" to Nan Xing's body.

The last time Xiaobai used her mental power to examine Nanxing, she had the same feeling.

However... high acceptance is also a good thing.

At least this way, the success rate of shipboard equipment installation surgery has been greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai extended a tendril of her spiritual energy and slowly crawled toward the aircraft carrier standing to the side.

The instant Xiaobai's mental energy came into contact with the aircraft carrier, Nanxing and the aircraft carrier on the ground were connected through their viscous mental energy, using Xiaobai as a transit point.

The ship's equipment on the ground slowly lit up with a faint white light.

The aircraft carrier's equipment began to emit a low hum as it slowly started to operate.

As the aircraft carrier's equipment began to operate, Nanxing suddenly frowned and subconsciously tightened his grip on Xiaobai's hand.

Nanxing's breathing became rapid, her face flushed, she broke out in a sweat, her eyes slowly closed due to discomfort, and she could no longer maintain her upright posture, so she could only bend over slightly and lower her head.

"Hmph...hiss..."

Nanxing squeezed her limbs together, her toes pressing firmly against the floor, and a soft humming sound came from the tip of her nose.

A creaking, squeezing sound came from Nanxing and Xiaobai's clasped hands.

Seeing this, Yubari frowned, his face showing concern.

“…This is bad.” Yubari stared at the data on the monitor, biting her finger and muttering to herself, “My heart rate is significantly higher, my blood pressure is rising, my body temperature is overheating, my adrenaline is surging, and the ship equipment is starting to overheat… This is not good. Even if I used my mother's ship equipment, is the rejection reaction still unavoidable…?”

"If it weren't for Mother's ship equipment, Admiral Nansei would probably have failed by now," came the voice of the goddess of the hearth beside Yubari.

Yubari turned his head to look at the female hearth goddess.

The goddess of the hearth was staring at Nanxing, her ship equipment creaking and groaning behind her, ready to spring into action.

“Admiral Nanxing is still half human. She has never had ship equipment before. What she is going through now is like having a hole cut in her body and then a huge iron block shoved in.” The Vesta’s eyes dimmed slightly as she said this. “It’s normal for her to feel pain.”

"Can we help?" Yubari asked.

“At this point, no one can help.” The Vess shook her head. “Including the Admiral, now she can only watch Admiral Nanxing work hard, besides being a transit point between Admiral Nanxing and the ship equipment.”

Upon hearing this, Yubari lowered his gaze and looked at the instrument in front of him.

Inside the instrument, data was constantly being updated.

On the bed in front of her, Nanxing's body trembled slightly, her legs shaking so violently they almost cracked the ground. She remained bent over with her head down, her long hair cascading down her back. She was barely holding Xiaobai's hand by sheer willpower, and large drops of sweat were streaming down her body, pattering onto the floor.

"Humph……"

"Um……"

"Humph……"

A series of faint, painful groans came from Nanxing's nose.

From this angle, Yubari and the female hearth goddess cannot see Nansei's face, but just by listening to her voice, they can almost see the expression on her face as she endures the pain.

……

Outside Nanxing's dormitory.

A pair of ship girls in white coats carried freshly washed fruit and walked towards Nanxing's dormitory.

"The apples and grapes I bought today are really good, they taste so sweet. I think the admiral would love them too," a white-clad ship girl said with a smile to her companion as she walked.

“Yes, the admiral has been staying indoors a lot lately. He should eat some fresh fruit and get more vitamins,” another ship girl nodded in agreement.

"Sigh... Speaking of which, I don't know what's wrong with our admiral lately, he's always just sitting in his room spacing out..."

"That's right, I'm worried about her, and I've asked her if something's bothering her, but the admiral always makes excuses... It's been like this for several days now."

The two white-clad ship girls talked as they walked. When they arrived at the entrance of Nanxing's dormitory, they suddenly noticed a mature woman with black hair, red eyes, wearing a black robe, fair skin, and a tall figure standing in front of the tightly closed door like a gatekeeper.

The two ship girls were stunned. They glanced curiously at the window of Nanxing's dormitory and found that the curtains inside were tightly closed.
