Elder brother's garrison

Page 709

After a few seconds, Xiaobai roughly understood the cause and course of events. He also understood the current state of Missouri.

What if Missouri found out she was behind her at this moment, watching her study...?

Xiaobai thought for a moment, finding it hard to imagine Missouri's reaction after she discovered her.

Always felt……

Let's just pretend we didn't see anything.

Xiaobai silently put down the book in her arms, flipped it back to the previous page, and placed it behind Missouri.

Step by step.

I quietly left the room.

At the fortress gate, a waitress, back at work, sat in a chair, leaning on the back of the chair, staring somewhat absently at the azure sky above.

The thunderous sounds of battle never ceased on the other side of the sea.

Suddenly, the waitress turned around and glanced inside the fortress.

Xiao Bai, who had just parted ways with him, was walking towards the door with some unease.

"What's with that 'I'm about to be pounced on and casually enjoyed by an acquaintance tonight,' looking all conflicted but not really hating it, just not sure what to do since it's your first time?' the waitress asked Xiaobai who was approaching her."

"a ha ha ha……"

Faced with the waitress's question, Xiaobai just smiled awkwardly.

That's such a precise analogy that even a novice like me is speechless.

"It's nothing serious...it should be." Xiaobai shook his head and explained to the waitress.

"Oh."

"Sister, you seem unhappy too. Did your boss scold you?"

"Oh, I see." The waitress waved her hand helplessly. "By the way, why are you still wandering around outside? Where are your ship girls?"

"Uh... I'll go back later, a little later..."

"Oh?" The waitress looked at Xiaobai's uneasy expression, thought for a while, glanced at the sky behind her, and suddenly laughed as if she had thought of some mischievous idea. "Speaking of which, little sister Lu Lin."

"what?"

Anyway, thank you for taking me to that coffee shop.

"Oh, I'm so glad you like it, sister..."

"So, as a thank you, I'll take you somewhere too," the waitress said with a smile. "However, I'm not sure if it's a good place."

"What place?"

"battlefield."

"Huh???" Xiaobai was stunned.

While Xiaobai was still pondering the meaning behind the waitress's words, the waitress reached out and swiftly grabbed Xiaobai's wrist.

Xiao Bai subconsciously pulled her hand away.

"Go? Or not?"

The waitress sensed Xiaobai's subconscious struggle. She was quiet for a moment, then raised her head and asked Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai stared blankly at the waitress in front of him.

The waitress was also watching her.

Xiao Bai saw that the woman's face, in her emerald eyes, shone with an expectant light, just like a dazzling comet.

In a trance.

It seems Xiaobai saw that stray cat again.

On a street littered with dust and trash cans, a kitten, which had been licking itself clean, sat quietly, its emerald eyes fixed on itself.

Do not beg, do not flatter.

then.

The cat moved slightly closer.

……

“…Then…I have to be back before dinner…” Xiaobai replied.

"...That's a good answer." The waitress smiled with satisfaction and gently pulled Xiaobai into her arms.

"Then I'll show you."

The waitress, holding Little White, suddenly ran towards the outside of the fortress again, her face full of fighting spirit.

"Hey hey hey hey??? Sis, why are you skipping work again?! Didn't you just get a lecture from your boss?"

"Hahahaha—Don't worry, I'm not skipping work this time."

"Oh, that's good..."

"This time, I'm resigning!!!"

"Uh huh huh huh???"

Chapter 945 Free Gift (Two-in-One Chapter)

Xiao Bai was once again carried away from the fortress by the waitress.

This time, the waitress didn't run off the road with Xiaobai like she did last time. Instead, she carried her all the way to the city gate at the end of the road.

Before entering the fortress, Xiaobai had gazed at the city gate from afar. The gate was nearly a hundred meters high, and beneath the mottled wall, bullets and knife marks were left one after another. Standing firm, the entire gate resembled a mountain, concealing a magnificent and imposing aura.

As the waitress approached the gate, Xiaobai could clearly feel that as she drew closer, the sound of gunfire emanated from the gate, and an echoing sound, like the beating of a gong, reverberated more intensely across the gate as she drew nearer.

It was as if the earth itself was trembling incessantly in response to the echo.

"Eh?! So we're going over there?!" Xiaobai was utterly shocked.

"correct."

"Why would that door be opened just for the two of us? Besides, we shouldn't be qualified to go through. It would be dangerous if the door were open..."

"Don't worry, it's okay."

The waitress interrupted Xiaobai, pushed off with her feet, hugged Xiaobai tightly, and rushed straight toward the door with Xiaobai in her arms.

The whistling wind filled my ears.

Nestled in the waitress's arms, Xiaobai watched as the door drew ever closer, almost touching his face in the blink of an eye. His heart pounded in his chest with fear.

Xiaobai now has a sense of tension, like she's sitting in a car with the doors welded shut, and watching the person in the driver's seat step on the gas and fly towards a cliff.

"Want to crash—ya ya ya ya ya ya ya—"

Xiao Bai snuggled into the waitress's arms, hugged her waist, and closed his eyes.

Before Xiaobai could finish screaming, the waitress, who had been so imposing just a second ago, suddenly turned a corner at the edge of the city wall.

Beneath the huge, conspicuous city gate.

There was a small doorway with a sign that read "Do Not Enter".

The waitress stretched out her hand, pointed to the doorway in front of her that was just big enough for an adult to pass through, and looked down at Xiaobai.

"Look, there's a back door."

"……"noob.

"I get the feeling you seem subtly disappointed?" the waitress asked, looking down at Xiaobai staring blankly at the small doorway.

"Uh...no, no, no..." Xiaobai quickly shook her head.

Indeed, backdoors are ubiquitous in this world.

The waitress ignored the "Do Not Enter" sign hanging above the doorway, pushed open the door, and pulled Xiaobai inside.

The view behind the door was not what Xiaobai had imagined, a sea view that offered a clear view of the beach.

On the contrary, Xiaobai, who had just entered the doorway, was met with complete darkness.

"This city wall is not only high, but also very thick. It'll be quite a distance to get over there." In the darkness, the waitress's voice rang out beside Xiaobai. "But this time we're not going to the beach. Come with me."

Then, a soft, cool, slender hand grasped Xiaobai's wrist.

It seemed that the inside of the city wall was not entirely solid, and there were some traces of construction. Inside the dark city wall, Xiaobai was pulled forward by the waitress. After passing through several forks in the road, the two arrived at a place that resembled an escalator.

"Um... what's in here..."

"It's a walled city. It was used for sentry duty when there were few ship girls, but now that there are more aircraft carrier ship girls, there's no need to use humans for sentry duty, so it's been abandoned."

"Ah...I see...But how did you know, sister..."

"This place isn't a secret to begin with; the more senior staff members all know about it."

"There's a 'Do Not Enter' sign on that door... Aren't we breaking the rules?"

"...If no one reports it, it's not considered a violation."

The waitress's soft moan rang in Xiaobai's ears.

—Oh, the content of this whispered murmur is so easy to tempt people into depravity.

Led by the waitress, Xiaobai climbed a long flight of stairs that would leave a normal human body exhausted.

"Oh right... Sister?"

"What's the matter?"

"When you brought me out just now, you said you were resigning... what did you mean by that?"

"..." The waitress didn't speak at first, but just took a light breath, "Resigning is... anyway, I won't be staying here for long."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You'll find out sooner or later... Oh well, never mind." The waitress seemed unwilling to explain further on the matter.

"..." Xiaobai turned her head and looked at the people next to her.

—Speaking of which, she's been up the stairs for so long and her breathing is still perfectly steady; this woman's stamina is truly impressive.

Time, like sand in an hourglass, slowly slips away amidst the clattering sound of climbing stairs.

Finally, as Little White emerged from a hole, the long-awaited sunlight instantly illuminated its vision.

After emerging from the hole, Xiaobai arrived at the top of the city wall.

Xiao Bai stood up curiously.

Then, a much stronger sea breeze, carrying a chill, howled towards Xiaobai's body, causing Xiaobai's white hair to dance in the wind.

Under the suffocatingly strong wind, Xiaobai closed her eyes.

This is the wind that Xiaobai is familiar with.

The wind smelled of the sea, and it also smelled of gunpowder.

In my ears, there was the whistling wind, the clear sound of gunfire, the roar of carrier-based aircraft, and the indistinct shouts of ship girls.

Xiaobai doesn't really dislike this feeling.

After getting used to the strong wind, Xiaobai slowly opened its eyes and looked in a more distant direction.

The booming sounds of artillery fire came one after another.

The first thing that catches the eye is a sky and sea tinged with red. On the sea surface, which is slightly reddened by the sky, all the deep-sea ships and ship girls are reduced to dense black dots.

Looking out from the high vantage point, Xiaobai saw that the sea had been filled with an overwhelming number of deep-sea amphibious ships, turning it into a pitch-black expanse.

The sea surface was churning.

Hundreds of ship girls, flashing with different colored lights, swiftly weaved through the enemy ranks.

Weaving through the enemy lines, the ship girl squads, like sharp knives, plunged fiercely into the ranks of the deep-sea amphibious ships.

True Ear's carrier-based aircraft and burning shells flew through the air.

As the ship girls moved freely, the army of deep-sea amphibious ships, which had coalesced into black spheres, resembled an anthill being attacked by giant waves. With each wave, hundreds or thousands of small fish would be washed out of the nest.
