Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai couldn't easily tell Yu Ge that the construction device was the culprit attracting the Deepsea Abyss Ships, or that it wouldn't attract them after a year. She could only look at the disappointed Yu Ge and smile a little embarrassedly.

—It's only a year anyway... At worst, I'll just ask the newbie naval base ship girls to take better care of the expedition missions here, and let the ship girls on expeditions lighten the load for Miss Yuge.

In a year, the position of president here will probably be a real cushy job. At that time, Miss Yuge will be able to slack off to her heart's content and count money until her hands cramp. This can also be considered a thank-you gift for Miss Yuge to the dean's metal.

"Sister Fisherman's Song".

"Your Excellency Lu Lin, what's wrong?"

"Um...did the person who brought the construction device to this place leave any specific information?"

“Documents…” Miss Yuge looked at Xiaobai, tapped her chin with her finger, and thought for a while. “I’ve only seen the admiral’s resume. As for the exact handover documents for the construction equipment, I haven’t seen them… I have to review thousands of documents here every day. Documents from eighty years ago are probably hard to find.”

"Ah... then there's no way to do it..."

"However, you can ask her directly, Lady Lu Lin."

"Huh??? The real me?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah."

"...Was that the president from eighty years ago? Wasn't he supposed to be in very poor health...? And if he were still alive today, he'd be over a hundred years old..."

“Yes.” Miss Yuge smiled at Xiaobai, seeing his surprised expression. “That senior is indeed still alive and has lived a long life. Although I have never met him, his resume shows that he is currently being carefully taken care of in a sanatorium… Well, since you, the world’s number one, are also curious about that senior, I can give you his address. He has been retired for a long time, and with your status, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to meet him.”

"Sister Yuge..." Xiaobai looked at Miss Yuge with emotion, "Thank you so much..."

"Ah...no need to thank me...it's just..."

"that is?"

"...If we could occasionally send some ship girls on expeditions to provide support here...that would be great...." Miss Yuge muttered softly, her face flushed and her head lowered.

Oh wow.

It's truly a case of reciprocity.

Chapter 965 Big White

Miss Yuge's day off was precious. In order not to continue to disturb Miss Yuge, who had helped him wholeheartedly and without complaint, Xiaobai did not disturb Miss Yuge any further after obtaining her contact information for her senior. Instead, he left the fortress with Ella and the ship girls.

The address Miss Yuge left for Xiaobai was a very ordinary sanatorium in a corner of the city.

There were no heavy guards or signs of neglect; it was just an ordinary little white building by the roadside. The area in front of the building was clean and unremarkable. However, it seemed to have been open for a long time, as there was a sign for "XX Nursing Home" on the bus stop platform.

When Xiaobai and the ship girls arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium, they found that the flowers and plants in the courtyard were blooming exceptionally lushly, a sea of ​​green as far as the eye could see. In the courtyard, several old men were squatting in the pavilion playing chess, while old women were chatting in the garden. Sunlight fell like golden beans on the grass, and a series of crisp rustling sounds could be faintly heard.

"How ordinary," Xiaobai remarked, looking at the scenery in the sanatorium.

“After all, that person has been retired for a very long time,” Missouri said to Xiaobai. “Most people who live to this age can no longer see their friends and family. Being alone here can actually bring a sense of peace and nostalgia.”

"Ah... um." Little White tilted her head and glanced at Missouri. "Did Missouri have any friends in human society before she met me?"

"A hero needs three supporters. Although Missouri tried her best to restrain her interactions with men, she still had quite a few female friends along the way, and they could help each other when life was tough."

"Ah, that's it."

"However, Missouri also has its own rules."

"What are the rules?"

“Missouri won’t contact friends who are more than five years old.” Misssouri smiled at Xiaobai.

"Why?"

“If your appearance doesn’t change for too long, someone will notice something sooner or later. To hide your identity as a ship girl, you have to put a lot of thought into not only your social interactions but also your daily living arrangements,” Missouri said, looking at the sanatorium. “And…”

"and?"

"Missouri is worried about what if she accidentally falls for another woman," Missouri said with a smile, reaching out her hand to touch her lips.

"..."

As soon as the group entered the building inside the sanatorium, a young woman in a white coat came out of the security room next door.

Seeing so many incredibly beautiful girls suddenly arrive at the usually deserted sanatorium, the young lady felt obligated to ask Xiaobai's purpose. After Xiaobai briefly explained his identity and purpose, the young lady, impressed by the official's name, enthusiastically helped Xiaobai find the room for his target.

After saying goodbye to the young lady, Xiaobai and the others headed towards the elevator of the sanatorium.

According to the information provided by the young lady, it seems that Xiaobai's target this time is to stay on a very high floor.

"The building is quite high. This old man doesn't seem to come downstairs often." Xiaobai muttered to himself as he looked at the floor number lit up at the top of the stairs.

"For centenarians, if they eat and drink normally and can take care of themselves, they are already considered to be in good health. We no longer force them to go out for a walk every day to exercise," Missouri explained to Xiaobai.

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded.

The stairs led to their destination in a brief conversation.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Xiaobai noticed that this floor was quite quiet. Only a few nurses in white coats occasionally walked along the corridor. Apart from the occasional faint footsteps, there was hardly anyone talking on the entire floor.

A nurse spotted Xiaobai and the others who had just come out of the stairwell. Holding a file, she walked curiously toward the elevator, her gaze lingering on Xiaobai alone for a moment with some confusion.

It's like I've seen Xiaobai somewhere before.

"Who are you?"

"Hello, nurse, we're here to find someone."

"Looking for someone? I'm sorry, this floor was booked a long time ago. That person stated that they don't know anyone there, so you may have the wrong person..."

"Ah, that's the person." Xiaobai nodded to the nurse. "Can we go see that person?"

"..." The nurse frowned, looking somewhat troubled.

Ella stepped forward, took out a business card from her clothes, and handed it to the nurse: "Hello, I'm the Admiral of Colorado Island. Do you know Colorado Island, sister? Next time you go on a trip, I can cover your food and lodging and give you a 10% discount on your travel tickets."

The nurse took the business card and glanced at it.

The nurse blinked, looked up at Ella's face for a while, and then looked at the ship girls behind Ella and Xiaobai.

"...Please follow me." The nurse returned the business card to Ella and turned to walk in one direction.

Ella took the business card back and smiled at Xiaobai: "Showing your brand name is especially useful in situations like this."

"Haha..." Xiaobai chuckled dryly.

In terms of using her rights and family prestige, Xiaobai was indeed less experienced than Ella, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

The nurse led Xiaobai and the others to the door of the room with the best lighting in the corridor. She first knocked on the door to indicate that she would be going in, and then turned to Xiaobai and the others and whispered her instructions.

"The person inside has a rather eccentric personality, so they are usually not seen by anyone. They don't interact with the elderly people in the garden downstairs, and they don't even see the nurses very often. So I'll stay outside the door for now, and if I hear the person inside getting angry, I'll go in and ask you to come out."

"Well, thank you."

"Go in." The nurse gently opened the door after seeing Xiaobai nod.

A gentle breeze and sunlight flowed lightly from behind the nurse's wrist.

The wind made Xiaobai instinctively close its eyes.

Xiao Bai walked into the room.

There was no smell of disinfectant in the room; instead, there was a faint fragrance, which made it seem unlike a hospital ward.

Xiao Bai slowly opened her eyes.

The room was a standard double room with two beds and a window. Although there were many everyday items, the room was very clean and showed no signs of having been lived in.

The window was wide open, and two potted plants sat on the windowsill, their petals trembling gently. The thin curtains fluttering in the wind beside them danced like swaying maidens.

—It's actually a pretty nice room.

As Xiaobai thought this, her gaze gradually drifted toward a bed.

There were two beds in the room. One of them had its bedding removed and looked like it hadn't been used for a long time. On the other bed, someone was sitting.

A head of waist-length white hair swayed gently in the sunlight, blown by the wind.

The girl in the white hospital gown was sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard, her hands folded in front of her thighs, her dark golden eyes gazing at Xiaobai with a peaceful and serene expression.

The girl's face was incredibly delicate, with a fair and tender complexion that appeared slightly youthful and immature.

This is a very young child, even a very young child.

"……"noob.

"……"girl.

Xiao Bai blinked as he looked at the girl.

The girl blinked as she looked at Xiaobai.

The two looked at each other in silence, their gazes lingering on each other's hair, their pupils moving back and forth.

The scene fell into a long silence.

"I'm sorry, I've come to the wrong door." Xiaobai bowed and turned to leave.

"Stop." the girl said.

Xiao Bai stopped and turned around, looking at the girl who had called out to him with great embarrassment.

"Who are you looking for?" the girl asked again.

"Uh, I'll contact the chairman from the previous generation, the one from the ocean..."

"That's me." The girl's expression remained perfectly calm.

A gentle breeze stirred again with those words, ruffling a few strands of the girl's long, silvery hair.

"..." Xiaobai stood there, speechless for a moment.

"My name is Bai Ying." Seeing Xiao Bai standing there, her face flushed and not knowing what to say, the girl took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Uh... Grandma Bai... Grandma Bai..."

"Ok?"

"Aunt Bai..."

"Ok?"

"Sister Bai..."

"..."

"Hello, Sister Bai..." Xiao Bai suddenly felt very awkward.

seriously.

Before arriving here, Xiaobai had basically considered all possible scenarios.

But no matter how much preparation Xiaobai made, when she finally saw the person in person, she never expected that the person she was supposed to see would actually... actually... look even younger than her...

Oh my goodness.

Who would have thought that this little girl with white hair and golden eyes, just like Xiaobai, is actually a centenarian?

Xiao Bai was deeply shocked. The words she had prepared suddenly got stuck in her throat, and thousands of questions rushed to her mind in an instant.

"Come here." Bai Ying beckoned to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai obediently walked up to Bai Ying.

"Sit down." Bai Ying pointed to the chair placed next to the bed.

Xiao Bai obediently sat down on the chair next to Bai Ying's bed.

Bai Ying reached out and peered above Xiao Bai's head.

Xiao Bai obediently lowered her head, allowing Bai Ying to touch the top of her head.

Bai Ying got her wish and patted Xiao Bai's head.

Bai Ying's palm moved with very light force, like two willow leaves brushing across Xiao Bai's head.

Mo De Xiaobai is quite happy.

"What's your name?" Bai Ying suddenly asked.

"Lu Lin."

Where did you get your hair dyed?

"Uh... it's kind of... something I was born with."

"..." Bai Ying's calm gaze flickered. She withdrew her hand and looked Xiao Bai up and down. "Are you the Admiral?"
