Elder brother's garrison

"Where is this..." Colossus muttered, rubbing his butt, "...a human city?"

Super Dahe felt that the scene in front of her was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. Relying on the surrounding decorations, she instinctively felt that it might be a human city.

But soon, Supermax rejected the idea.

Because of its enormous size and the fact that a very high concentration of deep-sea scent could be clearly detected in the surrounding air.

This should still be in the deep sea.

Overwhelmed with confusion and bewilderment, she looked around at the familiar ground, the dilapidated walls, the half-damaged wardrobe... After thinking for a long time, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her, and her eyes widened.

"Ah, Admiral, where is this..." Chao Yamato quickly looked at Shiro.

At this moment, Xiaobai and Missouri also came out of the closet, and the two of them stood there looking around.

"Super Yamato, it seems we're back." Shiro smiled at Super Yamato. "This is where we installed the teleportation anchor in the city ruins, do you remember?"

"I remember now." Chao Da nodded repeatedly.

This is indeed the location of a teleportation anchor point that Xiaobai secretly built when he was an undercover agent in the deep-sea city to avoid being noticed.

Since it happened about two years ago, and unlike Xiaobai, Chaoda doesn't have a super memory, his memory for this kind of place is only so-so.

Fortunately, thanks to her deepest memories of how she and Xiaobai would intertwine their limbs in a narrow space during each teleportation, she still had some recollection of this place.

"Admiral, we're back in the city..." After realizing this, Chao Yahe said to Xiaobai with great admiration and respect, "Your punctuation is absolutely correct! The placement is perfect!"

"It's alright, just luck." Xiaobai smiled and looked around for a while before continuing to say to Chaoda, "This is the second floor, let's go downstairs and take a look."

"it is good!"

Accompanied by Super Big and Missouri, Little White walked out of the room and down the familiar dilapidated corridor, returning to the familiar first-floor lobby.

In the lobby on the first floor, some traces of Xiaobai's original presence still remain.

Several colorful tents were pitched on the empty hall floor, and there were traces of a campfire on the ground. The hall door was open, and one could see the black water surface shimmering white under the moonlight.

Xiao Bai glanced at the scenery in front of the gate.

The familiar sight of city ruins... came into view.

"This is indeed the city I lived in before..." Xiaobai murmured to herself, "So it really didn't grow wings and disappear on its own, we just couldn't find it before."

"Admiral, if the location of the teleportation point hasn't changed, wasn't this just an empty expanse of water a moment ago?" Super Yamato caught up and asked Shiro with some confusion, "Why did a city appear here just after passing through a teleportation vortex?"

"Yes, that's strange." Xiaobai nodded.

Even in ruins, the scale of a deep-sea city is enormous.

It is at least no smaller than a second- or third-tier city in human society.

Logically speaking, this city is so big, perched on the sea, it should be easy to spot. Xiaobai and her group just arrived at the vicinity by relying on their senses, so why couldn't they see or even touch this city?

That's weird...

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then reached out and touched the floor tiles in front of the door.

Crunch!

The floor tile made a crisp sound as Xiaobai pried off a palm-sized piece of building material.

Xiao Bai shrank his neck, quickly put the building materials back in their original place, then put his hands together and kept bowing to the spot where the floor tiles were, looking ashamed.

"This is a cultural relic...this is a cultural relic. I didn't know anything before and messed around with it. Now I have to be careful..." Xiaobai was nervous and kept muttering to himself.

The waves seemed to understand what Xiaobai said.

The water in front of the door churned up with waves, sweeping away the palm-sized piece of building material and swallowing it into the waterway.

Xiao Bai lowered his hands, looked at the waterway, and felt lost and dejected.

Xiao Bai and his two companions left their residence and conducted a brief investigation of the surrounding area.

The city hasn't changed much since Xiaobai last came here.

Because the Deep Sea Director had been taken away by everyone, and the Deep Sea frigates living here had also been cleared out, the Deep Sea City was now devoid of any life, resembling a dead city.

Xiaobai and her two companions wandered around the city for a while but didn't find anything of value to them—which was quite normal, since they had been living in the city for several months. If there were anything of value, they probably would have found it long ago.

Finally, Xiaobai and his two companions met in the central area of ​​the city, which had been completely reduced to ruins.

“This city is exactly the same as before,” Missouri said to Xiaobai. “Has the Admiral discovered anything?”

"No," Xiaobai shook her head.

“I don’t have any either,” said Chao Yamato.

"Aside from the city's inexplicable disappearance and reappearance, it's just as boring as before..." Xiaobai said, glancing around. "Hmm... judging from the feeling, we're not far from where we boarded the teleportation vortex..."

“A city that plays hide-and-seek,” Missouri nodded.

"..." Chao Yahe blinked, looked back, and suddenly seemed to remember something, saying, "Admiral, speaking of the place from before..."

"what happened?"

"The place where we teleported before... seems to be within the city's boundaries as well," said Chao Yamato. "But I don't know why, even though we had already arrived inside the city, we couldn't sense its presence at all."

Xiaobai listened to Chao Yamato's words thoughtfully.

After a while, Xiaobai took out his phone and looked at it. Sure enough, the screen showed "outside the circle".

"Super Yamato, can I ask you for a favor?" Shiro said.

"What is it, Admiral?"

"First, use the teleportation vortex to go back to where you were before, and then from there, come all the way to the vicinity of the teleportation anchor point," Xiaobai said to Chao Yamato. "Missouri and I will go back to the place where we used to live and wait for you, okay?"

“Ah, sure.” Chao Dahe nodded repeatedly. “I left a teleportation anchor point for my return before I came here…”

Under the watchful eyes of Xiaobai and Missouri, Chaoda opened the teleportation vortex and rode away.

Xiaobai and Missouri left the city center and returned to the building where the teleportation anchor was located. She and Missouri sat on the bricks at the entrance, waiting for Megawa.

Ten minutes passed.

Twenty minutes passed.

About half an hour passed.

Logically speaking, even if Super Big and the other car were moving slowly, they should have arrived at Little White's side long ago.

But Xiaobai and Missouri looked around aimlessly and couldn't find any trace of Super Yamato.

Chapter 3518 The Inside and Outside of the City

The sea breeze howled continuously within the deep-sea city, and the dark, gleaming water rippled like fish scales under the force of the wind. Little White and Missouri sat close together, gazing at the waterways and the other dilapidated buildings in the city, falling into a long silence.

Finally, Little White couldn't stand the loneliness any longer.

"Huh... why isn't Super Yamato back yet?" Shiro muttered to herself, then asked Missouri worriedly, "Could it be that they ran into trouble on the way?"

“Admiral, with the strength of Super Grand and Senior, there should be no one in this sea area who can threaten her now,” Missouri replied with a smile.

“Oh…that makes sense.” Xiaobai nodded, slightly relieved. “After all, she’s the Dean of the Deep Sea Academy…this place is like her family home.”

“However, Super Big and Senior have indeed been gone for a long time.” Missouri added, glancing briefly at the surrounding scenery. “Missouri just went to the city center with the Admiral and got a pretty good feel for the city’s size. Based on Missouri’s understanding of Super Big and Senior’s speed, she should be able to get here within half an hour.”

"So what is she now...?" Xiaobai asked, listening to Missouri's words.

"Why don't you contact Super Big and Senior Sister and ask about the situation on her side?" Missouri asked with a smile.

"I'd like to... but this is outside the signal range." Xiaobai helplessly pulled out his phone, which was out of signal range. "I can't make a call here."

"What about the Admiral Network?"

"Ok?"

"Although the Admiral Network is a communication method between admirals and ship girls, it can theoretically also be used for the Deep Sea Dean, right?"

“That makes sense.” Xiaobai agreed, but still shook his head and sighed. “But I just searched the surrounding area using the Admiral’s Network, and I couldn’t find the location of Super Yamato. Of course, I also couldn’t connect to her using the Admiral’s Network.”

"So, the situation with Super and Senior is quite peculiar," Missouri murmured softly, withdrawing her gaze.

"We can only wait." Xiaobai said helplessly, cupping her cheeks in her hands.

Upon hearing this, Missouri slowly closed her eyes and gently nudged towards Little White.

The deep-sea city was cold at night, but Missouri's body was warm and soft.

On such a cold day, since we're just waiting anyway, we might as well do something fun.

Just as Xiaobai nestled into Missouri's arms, clasped her hands together, and whispered some heartfelt words to her, suddenly, footsteps echoed from the hall behind them.

Missouri and Little White paused for a moment upon hearing the sound, and turned to look while still embracing affectionately.

In the hall behind her, Chao Da cautiously walked down from the second floor. As soon as she came down, she saw Xiao Bai and Missouri hugging and cuddling at the door, and her red eyes were stunned.

"Ah..." Chao Yamato exclaimed, instinctively taking a step back and trying to turn around. "Admiral, I'm sorry, I... did I come at the wrong time..."

"Hey, why are you hiding from me, Super Big?!"

Xiaobai smiled wryly and quickly called out to Chao Yahe, beckoning her to his side, her face flushed.

"You've come at just the right time." Little White finally parted ways with Missouri. She held Missouri's hand and extended her other hand to Super Big. "I've waited so long for you. But how did you get here from here?"

“Admiral, about this…” Super-large instinctively reached out and shook hands with Xiaobai, her expression somewhat strange, “I have something to say…”

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai replied.

“Um… well…” Chao Da hesitated for a moment, seemingly thinking about how to tell Xiao Bai the whole story she had experienced. “Admiral, actually I just came back through the teleportation vortex.”

"No wonder you came down from the second floor." Xiaobai nodded. "Couldn't you have come from the outside?"

“It’s not a matter of whether I can get here or not…” Chao Yahe shook her head and said to Xiaobai, “The admiral told me to go back to where I was before, so I went back as instructed. Then, because the anchor point here has been reactivated, I could vaguely sense its location, so I walked straight from there toward this place…”

How long did it take?

"About ten minutes."

"Then we didn't see you."

“Yes… I didn’t see you either, Admiral.” Super Yamato said with a puzzled look. “I arrived here about ten minutes ago using the anchor point’s sensors, but Admiral… when I arrived at this location from over there, I found that the surroundings were not a city, but… the sea.”

"The ocean?" Xiaobai was slightly surprised.

“Yes, all around is an endless, dark sea. There are no cities, not a single brick or tile, and no Admiral or Missouri.” Chao Dahe shook her head and said to Xiaobai, “I can sense that the anchor point is here, but I can’t sense your presence, Admiral. At first, I thought you had disappeared along with the city, which startled me... I almost thought I would never see you again in this lifetime.”

When Chao Dahe said this, her tone became somewhat downcast, and there was a hint of girlish grievance in her mature and aloof voice.

Xiaobai listened, a little embarrassed, and rubbed Chaodahe's hand, giving her an encouraging smile.

"It's alright, we found it again."

"Yes... Later, I couldn't find you Admirals, and finally thought it might be a problem with the teleportation vortex, so I tried to use the teleportation vortex to return here." Super Yamato said to Shiro, "Sure enough, when I walked out of the teleportation vortex, this place had become a deep-sea city again, and I could also sense your presence."

"Is that so..." Xiaobai nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought, as she listened to Chao Yamato's words. "The city we're in can only be reached by passing through a teleportation vortex..."

After thinking for a while, Xiaobai subconsciously glanced at the aggrieved Chaoda, and then at Missouri beside him.

Missouri smiled, her expression one of waiting for Xiaobai to give her an answer.

Xiaobai had some guesses, but she didn't have any evidence yet. After thinking about it for a while, she made up her mind and spoke to Chaoda.

"Super Yamato, it seems I'll have to trouble you again."

"What's wrong?" Chao Da asked.

“Let’s go back one more time, through the teleportation vortex,” Xiaobai said to Chao Yamato. “This time I’ll go with you.”

"Then, what about Missouri?" Chao Yamato's gaze cautiously turned to Missouri.

"Missouri, stay here and cooperate with me later," Little White said to Missouri.

“No problem.” Missouri smiled. “Admiral, you’ll come back for Missouri, right?”

“Missouri, don’t make any rash statements at this crucial moment…” Xiaobai smiled helplessly. She reached out and gently touched Missouri’s arm. The Admiral Network was activated, and the mental link between her and Missouri was established. “Anyway, I’ll turn on our network connection first so we can communicate more easily later. It would be troublesome if I couldn’t find you after leaving the vortex.”

“Then Missouri will wait here for the Admiral’s message.” Missouri smiled.

“Missouri…I’m sorry…” Chao Yamato looked at Missouri’s smile, his expression somewhat guilty.

"Super Yamato-senpai, Missouri is fine, but you should still hurry back. Missouri is a bit lonely here all by herself." Missouri said to Super Yamato, her smile still gentle and bright.

Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and tugged at Chao Yamato's sleeve.

Super and Mind God released a teleportation vortex, and then Little White and Super walked into the vortex, looking back every few steps, and disappeared in front of Missouri.
