Elder brother's garrison

Page 2322

After Xiaobai retrieved all of the Deep Sea Taihou's spiritual bodies, all that remained before her were the expressionless, puppet-like shells of the Deep Sea Deans.

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Bai clenched his fist, smiling as he muttered to himself.

Silence reigned, echoing Xiaobai's words.

The golden platform beneath Xiaobai's feet also began to ripple. The hard metal block transformed into a raging torrent of flames, endlessly swirling around Xiaobai and drawing him into the dark vortex.

In the blink of an eye, Xiaobai and the golden flames disappeared into the black vortex, and more than twenty pale, mass-produced deep-sea deans fell back to the surface and sank to the bottom with a gurgling sound.

The mysterious sea has returned to silence.

……

Chapter 3253, Food Warehouse Teleportation Point.

A black vortex appeared out of thin air, and President Er Gou, carrying a fishing rod, along with Nia and the ship girls, emerged from it one after another.

"First place!"

As soon as President Er Gou landed, he immediately raised his fishing rod and shouted excitedly.

"Finally, finally we've arrived at Chapter Eight! I've been wanting to come here for ages!" Guild Master Er Gou excitedly hoisted his fishing rod, looking around. "Where in Chapter Eight am I?"

“President Nia, this is our temporary naval base’s food warehouse, and it’s also the place that Xiaobai chose as the teleportation anchor point for Chapter 8.” Nia explained to President Ergou with a smile, “Our temporary naval base is just outside from here.”

"Oh, I see! Then let's hurry..."

President Er Gou was about to speak.

The next second, a rumbling sound suddenly rang out from the dark vortex behind everyone.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the dark vortex.

The pitch-black vortex spun rapidly and twisted as if it had eaten something bad.

The next moment, Super Big and Little White burst out of the dark vortex with a loud bang, accompanied by endless golden flames that could almost cover the entire food warehouse.

"Wow??!!"

The people in the warehouse gasped in surprise.

Fortunately, although the golden flames were in the form of flames, they did not burn people. The people were covered by the golden flames, and apart from feeling itchy, their breathing was not affected.

Boom! ! !

The golden flames shot out for several minutes before finally bursting out completely from the dark vortex.

The pitch-black vortex shut down under the control of the super-large vortex.

The golden flames flickered inside the food warehouse for a while, then, as if finding a target, they swiftly shot towards the warehouse door.

A mechanical claw emerged from the golden flames, hooked open the door of the food warehouse, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, shot out towards the blue sky.

……

On the parade ground of the temporary garrison.

Montana was chatting with Project 24.

“Second Four, don’t you feel that since you appeared, you seem to have spent very little time with our admiral?” Montana said with a smile. “You see, our other ship girls are always going to play with the admiral all the time, but you always prefer to stay alone in the training field and enjoy the scenery.”

“There’s a question: there’s no biological or emotional distance between this unit and Admiral Lu Lin, and Admiral Lu Lin’s schedule isn’t very flexible.” Project 24 said expressionlessly, “Therefore, this unit chose the most convenient way of getting along with Admiral Lu Lin.”

“But I think the admiral seems to really enjoy seeing you.” Montana stroked her chin, looking at Object 24’s revealing attire. “Look at the ships that the admiral is marrying; it seems most of them are your type.”

"Question: According to the analysis of body measurements, there was no significant difference between the three-dimensional data of this body and that of Montana."

"Oh, the admiral and I are..."

Suddenly, Montana closed his mouth and, as if sensing something, turned his head to look at the sky.

The sky was azure.

Cloudless.

"Hey, you're back."

Montana muttered to himself.

Project 24, standing in front of Montana, tilted its head slightly.

Just then, a series of rumbling sounds rang out, and a large amount of golden flames, like a volcanic eruption, shot into the sky from the direction of the food warehouse, and then swept across the sky above the temporary garrison.

Inside the temporary naval base, the ship girls were in a flurry of activity.

"Eh? What is this?"

Is it going to rain? Is it going to rain?

"..."

The panicked cries of the ship girls echoed all around.

Montana listened to the sounds around her, smiled slightly, and then raised her hand to gently wave at the endless flames in the sky.

As if drawn by some force, the flames hovering in the sky roared and hurtled towards Montana's location.

The flames, forming a funnel shape, kept drilling into Montana's hand. In just a few breaths, all the flames that had been hovering above the temporary garrison had returned to Montana's body.

"The Admiral is really too kind." Montana looked at his palm and chuckled to himself. "She asked me to build a platform for her in the Mysterious Sea before. I was even planning to build a permanent structure. I didn't expect that she would return the nanomaterials used to build the platform to me after she finished using it."

Montana lowered his hand, held the back of his head, and hummed.

"My nano-army is regenerative. Although it takes a while to recover from a large loss, there's no need to be so polite."

"Admiral, you're being too polite."

Chapter 3254 Regaining Rankings

Project 24 and Montana are located not far from the food warehouse.

Sure enough, right after Montana retrieved the nanomaterials, Project 24 and Montana looked toward the food warehouse and soon spotted a group of familiar figures.

"Yo—Admiral!" Montana's face immediately lit up with a smile as soon as he saw Little White at the front, and he waved in Little White's direction. "You're back."

"Montana, what a coincidence! I just got back and saw you." Seeing Montana and Project 24, Xiaobai quickened her pace and arrived in front of them. Xiaobai smiled and asked, "Did you receive the nanomaterials?"

“Yes, I received them all.” Montana nodded. “Actually, Admiral, you don’t need to be so polite. You can just leave that building in the Mysterious Sea.”

"Oh dear... training's all over, and that building just sat there unused for a while." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly. "So I figured it was a waste to leave it there, so I brought it back."

"Admiral, you're quite thrifty," Montana said softly. "So... is training over too?"

“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded.

“Let me see how much everyone has grown.” Montana turned his head and looked at the group of people behind Xiaobai.

The Nia family ship girls who participated in the newbie training were at the very back of the group.

As Veneto and her group felt Montana's gaze, their expressions were somewhat uneasy and bewildered. They all lowered their heads, their hands nervously clasped in front of them, their ten fingers quietly fidgeting with each other.

Regarding this training...Veneto and his team expressed some uncertainty about how much everyone had grown, or even if they had grown at all.

After all, in the memories of Veneto and her group, what they had experienced over the past three days was that they had been completely dominated by Xiaobai. Every day they were either in a deep sleep or being beaten up. During these three days of high-intensity training, each of them consumed nearly 10,000 rapid repair devices, and the consumption of resources was countless. In order to transport training materials for them, Chaodahe had to open the teleportation vortex and go back to the newbie naval base almost every once in a while.

However... despite such terrifying resource consumption, Veneto and his group didn't even manage to touch the hem of Xiaobai's clothes from beginning to end.

Even when they fought to the very end, all they managed to extend their survival time against Xiaobai from a mere second to a mere ten seconds.

It's just that he can hold out for a few more seconds in front of Admiral Lu Lin... Can this kind of change really be called growth?

Veneto and his group didn't know, dared not speak, dared not ask, and could only speculate wildly in their minds.

Montana's gaze swept over the ship girls of Nia's family, as if she took in their anxious expressions. Then, a smile appeared on Montana's lips.

“Feels good,” Montana said to Little White.

"Right?" A satisfied expression appeared on Xiaobai's face.

Montana was still looking at everyone when suddenly her gaze swept over Super Yamato and she saw a figure she had never seen before.

Right next to the ship girls of Nia's family, another tall woman wearing sunglasses was carrying a fishing rod, standing on tiptoe and looking around with an excited expression.

“And who is this…” Montana asked curiously.

"Oh? You're calling me?" The woman who was called out by Montana pointed to herself and laughed.

“Hmm…” Montana stared at the woman thoughtfully.

Montana felt a similar sensation in this woman to that of his own admiral and Admiral Nanxing.

It's that feeling of being neither a ship girl nor a human nor a ghost.

“Montana, this is the former president of Chapter Two, and also the current acting president. She is my sister-in-law,” Xiaobai introduced.

"Hmm? The Admiral's sister-in-law?" Montana was taken aback. She looked at the smiling woman in front of her, subconsciously lowered her hands, and became more respectful. "I see. She is the Admiral's elder. I was very disrespectful just now."

"Hahahaha! Montana, I recognize you!"

President Er Gou stepped forward and patted Montana on the arms.

"You little rascal, I heard you caused quite a stir in Chapter 8, not bad! I have high hopes for you!" Guild Master Er Gou said with a satisfied expression, as if to say, "You're a very capable kid."

"..." Montana responded with a smile.

Chairman Er Gou's gaze swept past Montana and quickly fell on Project 24 standing behind Montana.

The moment he saw Project 24, President Er Gou's eyes lit up.

"Huh? Little White, I've never heard of your family having a ship girl like this before."

"This is Project 24, a ship girl created by Montana," Xiaobai introduced from the side. As she spoke, she smiled and looked at Project 24, introducing her as well, "Project 24, this is my sister-in-law."

"Information has been entered." Project 24 bowed expressionlessly.

"Montana, I never knew you could build ship girls!" President Er Gou said, patting Montana on the shoulder. "Could you make one for me too?"

“That won’t work. I can only summon this old friend,” Montana said with a smile.

"Sigh, what a pity." President Er Gou looked at Project 24 with some regret, and extended her hand to Project 24, "Hello."

Project 24 silently extended his hand and shook hands with Chairman Er Gou.

President Er Gou grasped Project 24's hand and kept rubbing and rubbing it.

Project 24 remained expressionless.

President Er Gou took a closer look at Project 24's palm, and his smile brightened slightly after noticing that she didn't have a ring on her ring finger.

"Miss 24 Engineering, are you free lately? Shall we go out for dinner together?"

"No, this body has no plans to go out today."

"It's alright, it's alright wherever we eat!"

"I refuse again. This body has no plans to eat today."

"Don't want to eat... that's fine, we can move on to the next part..."

"Question." Project 24 turned to Xiaobai with a blank expression. "Admiral."

"I'm here," Xiaobai replied.

"Question: Can this unit add this person's information to the gray list?" Project 24 inquired. "Explanation: This unit senses a threat level of three or higher from this person."

"Ah, this..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek.

"Xiaobai, what do you mean by adding me to the gray list?" Guild Master Ergou asked curiously.

“Simply put, ‘24’ means you’re a pervert,” Montana chimed in from the side.

"Oh, as expected of a future ship girl, even her words are so interesting."

Facing the seemingly increasingly courageous Chairman Er Gou, a faint white light shone in the numb eyes of Project 24. Immediately afterward, a gust of air swirled around her.

woo-

Project 24 seemed to have sprouted wings, riding the air currents and flying away like a dragonfly.

"Ah...it flew away."

President Er Gou watched the departing Project 24 and spoke with regret.

"President Sister, please don't bother others too much," Xiaobai said from the side.

"Xiaobai, is this also one of your potential partners?" President Ergou asked Xiaobai.
