unique.

She is a "senior" who should be respected, admired, and remembered by all submariners.

……

Xiao Bai put down the documents in his hand, looked up, and scratched his head.

Xiao Bai felt dizzy.

"Admiral, I've finished reading it," Iowa said with a smile.

"Hmm... I've finished reading it... It's not very long." Xiaobai placed the file on the table, looking at Iowa with a somewhat complicated expression. "So... Henry is actually a super famous submariner?"

“That’s right.” Iowa lowered her head, gently touching her chest with her hand. “It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that submarines only existed because of Henry.”

"I see, it's a ship that pioneered a new type of vessel..." Xiaobai showed a somewhat emotional expression. "Now I understand why she's so powerful. It truly reflects her supreme status in the submarine world."

Iowa and Xiaobai looked at each other and smiled slightly.

"But... on another note, if Henry is such a powerful ship girl, why have I never heard of her name before?" Xiaobai wondered.

"That's right... why is that?" Iowa turned her head, looking out the window and muttering to herself, "Logically speaking, she should have been on par with Missouri, Sister Hood, and even Sister Bismarck... The reason for this is perhaps because she died young."

"Died young..."

"The moment the Henrietta achieved its victory, its hull, being too fragile, was swept to the bottom of the ocean." Iowa withdrew her gaze and smiled at Little White. "Perhaps that's why she didn't have time to pass on her name... But even so, even if her name didn't become known, Miss Henrietta exists in the legends of every submarine active in this world."

“Getting caught in the ocean…” Little White blinked as he listened to Iowa’s words. “Hey… getting caught in the ocean, that’s pretty much what I’ve been going through with Henry these past few days…”

"Does the Admiral also think it looks similar?" Iowa asked Xiaobai.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

I see... that's what happened to Henry...

They can only appear at night and can only be active for one night. They cannot leave the 8-2 sea area. Once certain conditions are met, they will be pulled into the seabed by the octopus tentacles and disappear...

Upon closer examination, isn't this a vivid depiction of the brief yet glorious expedition of the ship Henry?

The so-called rules... are just legends!

Henry was simply launching expeditions that were just replicas of the old-fashioned ships!

It turns out that Henry was bound to this sea by her own legend!

I understand!

Xiaobai suddenly understood everything, and she immediately looked at Iowa with a bright light in her eyes.

Chapter 3638 Another General Added

Xiao Bai suddenly realized something, his eyes sparkling with a look of sudden enlightenment. Io Hua, who was standing to the side, watched Xiao Bai with a smile and said something.

"Judging from the admiral's expression, he seems to have a new idea."

"Yes, I understand now." Xiaobai nodded and thanked Iohua, "Thank you so much, Iohua. Thanks to the information you found for me, otherwise I would still be completely confused."

“Miss Henry’s information isn’t hard to find. Even if it wasn’t me, any of the other sisters could have done the same.” Iowa shook her head and looked at Xiaobai. “But the Admiral… this submarine incident in the 8-2 area has been so complicated from beginning to end. Even with some information, it’s hard for ordinary people to judge the normal situation… The Admiral understood it so quickly, so he must have a talent and intuition that are ahead of others when it comes to salvaging ships.”

"Yes, is there such a saying..." Xiaobai scratched his head.

"..." Iowa just smiled and continued to ask, "Is the Admiral still planning to go on the expedition tonight?"

"Well, I have some inspiration and a plan regarding Henry." Xiaobai nodded, thought for a while, and then added, "I've also figured it out. Henry should be the fourth special ship girl in Chapter 8."

"Is the Admiral so certain?" Iowa asked with interest.

“Yes, after all, she meets several characteristics of a special ship girl.” Xiaobai gestured with her hands and explained to Iowa, “She appeared in the city of Chapter 8, and from the moment she appeared, she possessed outstanding strength and training. Most importantly, her ship equipment capabilities were clearly enhanced, and since the moment she appeared, she has always possessed some kind of supernatural power. These conditions combined prove that she is not an ordinary ship girl, but a special ship girl.”

Iowa nodded slightly upon hearing this.

“The Admiral is right.” Iowa gently stroked his chin, his gaze lingering on Xiaobai’s face. “Then, on the other hand… now that Miss Henry’s status as a special ship girl has been confirmed… what type of special ship girl is she?”

"type?"

“After all, the first three special ship girls are all of different types.” Iowa put her hand down and said to Xiaobai, “Jean Bart, who builds ship girls, Jinan, who researches ship girls, and Montana, who salvages ship girls, are all special ship girls, but the ways they appear and are recruited are completely different. Since Miss Henry is of the same type as them, what type of ship girl should she be? Could it be that… considering that she was born on the surface of the sea, she is the same type of salvage ship girl as Montana?”

“Oh… I think the types of special ship girls should not overlap.” After listening to Iowa’s words, Xiaobai shook her head. “Henry’s type may be similar to Montana’s, but probably… they should be different.”

"Where exactly is it different?"

"I can't say for sure... but it just doesn't seem quite right."

"Is this also the admiral's intuition?"

"Half and half," Xiaobai replied. "After all, Fubuki, the Chaser, and I have defeated her several times together. If Henry really wanted to salvage ship girls, she would have obediently come back with me long ago."

Xiao Bai dusted off his hands and got up from his seat.

"Where is the Admiral going?" Iowa asked Xiaobai.

"I'm going out to make some preparations for tonight's expedition." Xiao Bai walked to the office door, turned back to Iowa and said with a smile, "I have a vague feeling that today is the last time I'll be going to see Henry."

“…Hmm.” Iowa said with a smile, “In that case, I trust the Admiral, because the Admiral’s intuition is always very accurate.”

Xiao Bai and Io Hua looked at each other, and Xiao Bai felt the gentleness and trust in Io Hua's eyes.

……

Five days have passed since the mysterious enemy submarine appeared in the waters of August 2nd.

Since the method to avoid this submarine was announced, the 8-2 sea area has been peaceful for three consecutive days. Thanks to this guide, the admirals in the chapter city have relaxed their vigilance considerably.

The discussion about this mysterious submarine on the Admiral Forum gradually cooled down.

Originally depicted as a terrifying monster capable of single-handedly conquering the entire sea, it has gradually evolved in discussions into a means to limit the admiral's nighttime fishing tactics. Its threat and harm have diminished with each joking discussion, seemingly on the verge of being forgotten.

In this calm atmosphere that seemed to foreshadow an impending storm, night fell as expected.

At night, lightning flashed and wind and rain raged in the 8-2 sea area. The dark sea surface was filled with surging waves, which seemed to swallow all life on the surface of the sea to the bottom of the sea.

Amidst lightning and thunder, the blue, crystal-like land-based ship moved smoothly and steadily across the surging waves as if walking on flat ground.

"Admiral, why do I feel like the 8-2 sea area tonight is a bit more ferocious than the past few days?" The pursuer squatted on the floor of the land-based ship equipment, his hands clasped to his chest, curiously looking at the surging waves around him.

"The sea... it's unpredictable," Xiaobai said with a smile as he controlled the ship's equipment to move forward.

"Hmm, I feel like I've been brushed off..."

The pursuer muttered to himself, his gaze unconsciously lingering on the box of energy bars that Xiaobai had placed at his feet beforehand.

She glanced at it and saw a pair of delicate, high-tech, slender arms and gloves swaggering between Xiaobai's legs and brazenly reaching into the box.

The intruder rummaged around inside for a while, picked up an energy bar with his finger, then quickly withdrew it and left the box.

"..."

The pursuers followed the line of sight and saw a tall figure sitting next to Xiaobai. The person was wearing a futuristic blue and white trench coat, revealing fair shoulders, and had light yellow pigtails. They were opening an energy bar and putting it in their mouth.

Her beautiful lips parted and closed, making a crisp chewing sound, but this sound was drowned out by the sound of the rolling waves.

The woman who was stealing energy bars seemed to notice the pursuer's gaze. She raised the half-eaten energy bar in her hand and turned her head to look at the pursuer.

"Would you like some too?"

Montana shook half an energy bar, a friendly and warm smile on her face.

"Uh..." The pursuer shook his head somewhat awkwardly.

Hearing Montana and the pursuer's conversation, Xiaobai turned his gaze from the sea and smiled at the two of them.

"How are you two getting along?" Xiaobai asked.

“Very good, Admiral.” Montana lowered his hand, looked up, and replied with a smile, “We get along very peacefully.”

"Don't you dare bully Fubuki and the Chaser," Shiro warned.

"How could that be, Admiral? I will cherish these two lovely colleagues." Montana smiled matter-of-factly.

"I'm just afraid you'll use too much force..." Xiaobai hesitated before continuing.

"Admiral, you don't need to worry about anything." Montana said to Xiaobai with a smile, "All the girls in the naval base, including me, belong to you, Admiral. I can tell that away."

"……"noob.

Just as Xiaobai was about to say something to Montana, he suddenly heard Fubuki's soft moaning coming from beside the pursuer.

In an instant, everyone on the land-based ship turned their heads to look at the pursuers.

Fubuki, who had been sleeping soundly next to the pursuer, was draped in a blanket. After being jolted by the waves, she rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up, looking around with her large, agate-like eyes.

"...Eh? Admiral? Chaser sister? And... Montana sister?"

"Hello." Montana came up to Fubuki, bent down with his knees on his hands, and waved to Fubuki in a friendly manner. "Have you had a good sleep, little Fubuki?"

"Ah..." Fubuki blinked, touched her head, thought for a moment, and asked the others blankly, "I remember I was just grabbing Henry's tentacles, right? Where is Henry? Why did Montana suddenly come here?"

"Fubuki, that happened yesterday." Shiro came to Fubuki's side and said to her.

"yesterday?"

“Yes, you’ve slept all day,” Xiaobai said.

Because of the intense mental shock she received at the center of Henry's tentacles last night, coupled with the fact that Fubuki's mental strength is relatively weak among the many ship girls, she was almost unable to wake up afterward. She was still in a daze in her bed when it was almost time to set off that night.

Xiaobai initially wanted Fubuki to just rest, but after thinking it over, based on his understanding of Fubuki, he realized that if Fubuki was still awake, she would definitely jump and follow him no matter what he said when it came to salvaging Henry. Besides, the only conventional way to harm Henry right now was Fubuki's anti-submarine bomb. So, after replenishing Fubuki's mental energy a little, Xiaobai took her into the 8-2 sea area, hoping she would wake up halfway there.

Just as Xiaobai had predicted, after replenishing Fubuki's mental energy, much like adding a splash of Sprite to a nearly full glass of cola, she woke up quickly.

Fubuki, wrapped in a blanket, listened as her pursuers finished recounting what had happened the day before.

"Ah...so that's what happened yesterday..." Fubuki's expression was extremely complicated after hearing this. She lowered her head and said, "Admiral, it's all my fault. If only I hadn't reached out and grabbed Henry's tentacles...Henry must have been reverted to another timeline."

“There’s nothing we can do about it.” Xiaobai reached out and patted Fubuki’s head, comforting her. “And it’s not all bad. At least yesterday, when you grabbed Henry’s tentacle and triggered its mental attack, I still gained something.”

"Harvest?" Fubuki looked up at Shiro.

"..." Xiaobai smiled but didn't say anything.

Fubuki and the smiling Xiaobai exchanged a few glances, then turned to look at Montana.

"...How did Sister Montana get here today?"

Chapter 3639 (Correct)

All eyes turned to Montana.

Montana was bending over, taking a new energy bar from the box. She straightened up, met everyone's gaze, tore open the packaging, and took a bite.

"Yeah, why did the Admiral call me here today?" Montana asked White while eating an energy bar.

“…I remember I told you that already.” Xiaobai gave Montana a wry smile.

“It’s not like some people haven’t heard of it.” Montana shrugged and smiled at Little White, “Just say it again.”

“Okay…” Xiaobai sighed, looked at Fubuki, and said, “I brought Montana with me today because I wanted her to help me confirm whether Henry is a salvage ship girl.”

"Henry? Salvage ship girls?" Fubuki looked completely bewildered.

"Here's the thing, after our discussion, we've preliminarily confirmed that Henry is the fourth special ship girl in the last special ship girl event, in addition to Jean Bart, Jinan, and Montana," Xiaobai explained to Fubuki. "So, in order to determine which category Henry's special ship girl belongs to, I also called Montana, whose situation is most similar to hers, and asked her to help me confirm it later."

"Can you do the authentication, Sister Montana?" Fubuki asked Montana.

"Even putting everything else aside, if we're both salvage ship girls, I can definitely tell the difference." Montana shrugged and smiled at Shiro. "Besides, I'm also a very useful helper, right, Admiral?"

"It really works well," Xiaobai nodded.

“Oh—” Fubuki drawled, “So that’s how it is.”

“Our salvage team is really getting bigger and bigger,” one of the pursuers remarked.

“Yes.” Montana looked at the pursuers and said with a smile, “Before the admiral called me here, I didn’t know that such interesting things were happening in this sea area. There was a magical submarine with full armor and evasion values. Moreover, it was a special ship girl like me… Honestly, the admiral should have told me sooner.”

"Then you'll have to ask the admiral. I didn't know you before," the pursuer quickly shook his head.

The pursuer had been enjoying a peaceful stay in the naval base, and she genuinely didn't know about Montana; she wasn't even familiar with the concept of special ship girls.

So when Xiaobai suddenly brought out Mengda, the pursuers were initially wondering whose ship girl this was.

"Admiral, what do you say?" Montana asked, looking at Little White.

"Haha... I brought it with me, didn't I?" Xiaobai chuckled. "We're almost at sea area 8-2, time to prepare to summon Henry."

“Summoning Henry is my responsibility.” The Pursuer stood up upon hearing this, rolled up her sleeves, and said to the three of them, “Fubuki just woke up, let her rest. I’m going to fry some fish first, she’ll be responsible for frying Henry out later.”

"Alright," Xiaobai nodded.

The land-based ship sailed through the wind and waves, and soon arrived at a wide area of ​​water where the atmosphere of the deep sea was dense and the underwater world was full of deep-sea submarines.
