Elder brother's garrison

"……oh?"

“But she doesn’t seem to be a ship girl either—she doesn’t have the feel of a ship girl, nor the feel of the deep sea.” Xiaobai thought for a while, and then, as if she had thought of a suitable metaphor, she said to Iowa, “She’s like Lord Su and Odin.”

"So you're the same as Sister Sukhbaatar and Sister Odin?"

"Yes."

What about combat strength?

"Her combat power is also exaggerated. At least in my opinion, her evasion ability is better than any destroyer I have ever seen, and her defense is more robust than any battleship I have ever seen," Xiaobai replied. "The Pursuer's anti-submarine capability is so strong, but even if she maintained a high power output of skills and used up all her anti-submarine ammunition, she only hit her once. And this crucial hit was just like a tickle to her."

"...Destroyer? Battleship?"

"Isn't it awesome?"

"That's really impressive... No wonder all those anti-submarine ship girls in area 8-2 fell to this submarine lady." Iowa said, looking up. "So, Admiral, how did you deal with her?"

"I used a special method to trap her," Xiaobai said to Iowa, scratching his cheek sheepishly. "But after I finally managed to trap her, something strange happened to her. Suddenly, she was entangled by several octopus tentacles that appeared out of nowhere, and then she disappeared. After that, the pursuers and I continued to blast fish on the beach to try to lure her out, but she never appeared again."

"It seems... the Admiral's experience tonight was truly spectacular," Iowa said. "What are your plans next, Admiral?"

"Hmm... Anyway, if we can't find it today, I plan to go check again tomorrow night." Xiaobai said to Iowa while hugging her legs. "We also need to keep a close eye on the 8-2 area these next few days. Let's put up notices reminding the ship girls not to use blast fishing at night and see how effective that is."

Iowa nodded, gently lifting Xiaobai's feet with her palm and placing them on the seat.

……

Although Xiaobai did not arrest the mysterious submarine enemy tonight, as she told Iowa, tonight's expedition was at least not a complete failure.

Now that they've figured out the timing and targeting of this submarine enemy, the ship girls in Chapter 8 finally have a way to avoid it.

It was daytime on the second day.

The pursuers were arranged by Xiaobai to stay in the bedroom in the office hall, where they lay down on the soft bed and fell fast asleep.

The lobby on the first floor of the Admiral's Guild was still bustling with activity, like a pot of boiling porridge.

Luo Yingying sat in her office, sweating profusely, dealing with her work while answering a series of phone calls.

"Yes, the Admiral's Guild is investigating the matter concerning the 8-2 submarine..."

"Yes, yes, we will give you all a reply."

"It won't affect the deployment rate; we will do our best to ensure the safety of the ship girls..."

"The Admiral's Guild is doing everything it can to resolve this matter..."

"Our investigation team is well-trained, headquarters can rest assured..."

As the phone rang, Luo Yingying had just finished a call from the Admiral's headquarters when the phone in front of her rang again, as if it were a death knell. She slammed the receiver back onto the landline, feeling utterly exhausted. Looking at the ever-growing pile of documents on the table, her eyes were filled with despair.

"My goodness... how come I'm getting more and more work..."

With a thud, Luo slammed her head on the table, letting out a series of tearful groans.

The submarine incident these past few days has thrown the entire city of Zhangjie into a state of panic.

Although the admirals' expedition rate is still barely maintaining the basic city requirements, the number of expeditions is decreasing day by day, and has begun to fall below the lowest point since the release of Chapter 8.

At this moment, both inside and outside the city, many people and organizations that were paying attention to this incident were waiting for the Admiral's Guild of Chapter Eight to announce the latest developments.

Luo Yingying was well aware of the urgency of this incident.

The Admiral's Guild's investigation team has been patrolling the sea for two whole days, but they still haven't found anything.

In these two fruitless days, the credibility of the Admiral's Guild is being rapidly eroded.

The Admiral's Guild needs to make some progress on this matter...

however……

What could Luo Yingying do?

She had absolutely no clue about this incident.

"Aaaaaaah, help! Help me, ahhhhhh..."

"At least... at least let us know what the enemy submarine looks like..."

Luo Yingying lay on the table, clutching her stomach and groaning softly. She felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, suffocating her.

But at this time.

The office door opened.

"Manager Luo." Shenying walked in carrying a stack of documents. "There's progress on the submarine incident of 8-2."

"...Huh? Progress?!"

Luo Yingying's eyes widened, and she quickly stood up from her chair.

"Divine Eagle, what's the progress?!"

"Here's the thing, President Lu Lin just informed us of the progress of this incident." Shen Ying lowered her head, took out the documents from her bosom, and handed them to Luo Yingying as she said, "This is information provided to us by President Lu Lin. It not only describes the characteristics of the submarine enemy, but also how to avoid the submarine enemy as much as possible during routine fishing operations."

"So detailed?!"

Luo Yingying's eyes widened. She quickly picked up the document and began to read it carefully.

Luo Yingying read on, her mouth slightly closed, her eyes filled with surprise.

"I see! This enemy submarine possesses superior evasion and armor capabilities, and it only appears at night. Only anti-submarine ship girls and anti-submarine attacks can attract its attention... I see! That means as long as we stay away from the 8-2 sea area before the night battle, we won't be attacked by the enemy submarine, right? This is exactly the information we need!" Luo Yingying clutched the document to her chest, looking at Shenying with a mixture of surprise and nervousness. "Shenying, is the information that President Lu Lin gave us... reliable?"

"I asked around, and President Lu Lin said that this information was obtained by the newbie ship girls from the naval base when they went on an expedition and dealt with that submarine enemy."

"As expected of a rookie naval base!"

Luo Yingying was deeply moved. She quickly sat back in her seat, straightened her posture, and began to write the investigation report.

Although Admiral Lu Lin was a formidable person, Luo Yingying had never doubted her abilities since she started dealing with her. Therefore, since the information came from the rookie naval base, Luo Yingying naturally had no doubt about its authenticity and credibility.

Luo Yingying quickly finished writing the incident report. She briefly reviewed the content and wording, and then used the Admiral Guild's official account to post it on the Admiral Forum.

quickly.

After several refreshes.

A post titled "To All Admirals: First Phase of the Investigation Report on the 8-2 Submarine Incident" appeared on the pinned page of the Admirals' Guild's Chapter 8 section.

As the post was updated, a new round of discussion quickly emerged on the Admiral Forum, with the number of posts and the level of discussion instantly reaching their peak.

"Holy crap, so this time the enemy submarines are targeting the night battle ship girls!"

"No wonder. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the ship girls that were affected before were still blasting fish close to the night battle."

"Incredibly high evasion and defense? Is this a submarine??"

"Unfortunately, we still don't know the specific appearance of the enemy submarine."

"It's already a blessing to be able to bring back such accurate information. The person upstairs shouldn't be greedy."

"It's only the third day. The Admiral's Guild will bring back more information later, and maybe they can even take care of this submarine."

"The Admiral's Guild is really fast! They even managed to get this kind of information!"

"Wait a minute, so in other words, we only need to go out during the day, right? Then I'll pack my things and go to work now!"

"I'll wait and see how things go..."

"I don't know what you're afraid of, upstairs. Don't forget the Admiral's Guild's performance these past few days. Whether it's salvage or investigation, they've never let us down!"

"I trust the Admiral's Guild, I'm going to war!"

"The Admiral's Guild never lets me down!"

"Does the guild where the world's number one admiral is employed count as the world's number one admiral guild?"

"I hereby declare the alert lifted!"

"..."

Luo Yingying looked at the rapidly refreshing comments on the Admiral's Forum and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Luo Yingying sensed it.

The credibility of the Admirals' Guild is rapidly recovering.

Chapter 3616 A Timeless Plot

And that was exactly what Luo Yingying had sensed.

Shortly after the Admirals' Guild released its investigation report, not only did the Admirals' Forum suddenly receive a lot of positive feedback, but even the office phone, which used to ring incessantly, stopped ringing so much. When Luo Yingying answered the call from headquarters again, she could clearly feel that the tone on the other end of the line was no longer tense and urgent, but rather relaxed and peaceful.

It's amazing.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

Just a minute ago, the entire Admiral Guild hall was as noisy and chaotic as a marketplace where beheadings were taking place. But after Guild Leader Lu Lin handed over this week's investigation report, the wind on the Admiral Forum instantly began to blow. The headquarters stopped putting pressure on the guild, and the workload on his hands stopped increasing and began to stabilize. Even the number of admirals' expedition applications and daily mission acceptance records began to increase significantly...

Luo Yingying put down the microphone and stared at the computer screen in front of her as if in a dream.

Luo Yingying's expression was complicated, and finally she gave a helpless bitter laugh.

"Sigh... President Lu Lin... Admiral Lu Lin..."

Luo Yingying tilted her head back, her body leaning forward with gravity, and collapsed weakly onto the table.

"The fact that Chapter 8 has a rookie garrison commander in charge... and that Admiral Lu Lin in charge... is truly a bittersweet thing..."

Seeing that Luo Yingying was unresponsive, Shenying, who was standing to the side, looked at the documents for a while, then carefully walked over and gently shook Luo Yingying's shoulder.

"Manager Luo, our work is not finished yet, we can't rest now."

"...Divine Eagle, keep watch for me for a bit, let me rest for a while...just a little while...I'm so tired right now...just, just five minutes...that'll be fine..."

Luo Yingying murmured softly as she slowly closed her eyes amidst the mountain of documents.

……

Trusting the Admiral Guild, the guild's expedition rate is recovering to normal levels at an astonishing speed after the release of the first investigation report.

On the sea, the figures of the ship girls moved back and forth.

Before we knew it, it was getting close to afternoon again.

The admirals, who had been sitting on the beach timing their departure, realized that night battles were approaching. Naturally, they dared not slack off. So, a large group of them quickly used their respective admiral networks to call back the ship girls on the sea. After counting their numbers, the admirals and ship girls, along with their families, as if afraid of staying in the 8-2 sea area for even a minute longer, packed up their day's spoils and quickly left the chapter's sea area, returning to the safe city.

It was another peaceful day, and no mysterious submarine attacks on the ship girls occurred in the 8-2 sea area.

On the Admiral Forum, admirals who set sail from the 8-2 sea area posted messages to celebrate.

The number of comments and top-post comments following the first survey report released by the Admiral Guild's official account has been increasing.

"A commemorative photo before departure, all is well today! P.S.: This is a triumphant photo of me and my ship girls who went on the expedition!"

"My ship girl said that the 8-2 sea area is very safe today, but I don't know why it feels like there are fewer fish. Maybe it's just my imagination."

"Support the comment above! My ship girl also feels there are far fewer fish today!"

"What a coincidence! It turns out it's not just my ship girl who thinks this way!"

"Yes! Especially the deep-sea submarines in one area, it's really strange. It's been completely empty since this morning. There wasn't a single deep-sea submarine or even any marine life! It wasn't until almost nighttime that the deep-sea submarines slowly started to spawn!"

"Do deep-sea submarines also move?"

"I asked some friends around me who were fishing at 8-2, and they said that they didn't encounter the mysterious submarine again today, and they only encountered normal fish."

"The Admiral's Guild did not release any news of ship girls being attacked today, so it seems everyone is alright."

"Remember to leave work on time."

"No overtime is fine..."

"..."

……

In the Admiral's Guild, in the guild leader's office on the top floor, Xiaobai sat in a chair looking at the discussion posts on the Admiral's Forum. She nodded with relief and a smile appeared on her face.

"Hmm... judging from this trend, we shouldn't have to worry about the expedition quota for the Admiral's Guild anymore."

Xiao Bai muttered to himself, put his phone on the table, and stretched comfortably.

"Iowa, is there any work left for today?"

"Yes, Admiral. This is the patrol and investigation team's outing application that the Admiral's Guild just submitted. Please review it." Iowa nodded in response. She brushed her long hair behind her ear, raised her hand to operate the printer next to her, printed out a hot, ink-scented paper document, and placed it on Xiaobai's desk.

Xiaobai pulled the file in front of him and looked down at it.
