Elder brother's garrison

Page 967

The two drivers were stunned for a long time, looking at the girls in front of them, and stammered out their questions.

"Where are you all going?"

"...The garrison of this city... Is there any difficulty?" The charming young woman looked at the two drivers with a puzzled expression.

"This..." The two drivers exchanged a glance, their faces turning pale. Their chests, which had just been pumped with adrenaline, suddenly deflated. They stared at the girl in front of them, their faces filled with shock. "This...you, you guys...are ship girls?"

"..." The charming young girl tilted her head, without denying it.

"..." The two drivers exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

No wonder these girls are of such high quality.

So they're all ship girls...

Feelings are that they came to seek refuge at the city's garrison.

Oh my god.

These are all women I dare not touch.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on the faces of the two drivers.

"...Well, I'm sorry, we can't take this job..." the two drivers said awkwardly to the charming young woman.

"...Don't you guys like ship girls?" the charming girl asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, no... that's not it..." The two drivers quickly waved their hands, stammering, "Well... uh, Miss Ship Girl, it's like this, the city's naval base is on the coast, far from the city center and very remote. There's nothing there except the naval base... and because it's near dangerous waters... it's easy for deep-sea amphibious ships to appear... so it's very dangerous..."

"...Ah." The charming young woman suddenly realized, "You two don't want to get close to the sea surface where there are Abyssal Fleet ships, right..."

"I'm sorry..." The two drivers bowed their heads in shame before the charming young woman.

"It's alright, please don't mind. Ordinary humans have no obligation to face deep-sea ships. You don't need to apologize to us." Although the charming young woman was rejected by the two drivers, she didn't show any displeasure and still smiled kindly. "However, even though you can't take us there, could you please mark the location for us on a map?"

"Oh, no problem!" The two drivers breathed a deep sigh of relief, then took the map and pen from the charming young woman, drew a circle on a certain spot on the map, and returned it to her.

"Thank you!" The charming young woman accepted the map with both hands. "Thank you both for your help."

"Sorry... well, people in our line of work generally don't dare to get too close to the sea..." the two drivers said apologetically, scratching their heads. "But if you want to go, I suggest you rent a minibus from the car rental place next door and drive there. As long as you pay a little more, they won't mind if you get close to the sea."

"Oh, I see. May I ask which way to the car rental location?"

"It's not far from here. Just walk out and turn right for a while. You can rent a minivan in about two or three hours. It will be more than enough to carry all of you."

"Thank you so much!" the charming young woman smiled at the driver.

"Two...three hours?" Just then, the beast-like woman behind the charming young woman suddenly spoke up. She raised her head, glared with a fierce golden eye, stomped her foot angrily, and looked at the two drivers. "Too slow!"

As the beast-like woman's voice boomed, a fierce aura emanated from her.

The two drivers felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, making them feel incredibly heavy, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"Calm down, calm down!" The charming young woman quickly pulled the beast-like woman back with a helpless expression. "That's just an ordinary person. Do you remember what the former admiral said? You're not allowed to treat ordinary people like that!"

Upon hearing the charming young girl's words, the beast-like woman's fierce golden eyes trembled slightly before slowly falling silent.

Both drivers felt a sense of relief.

"I'm so sorry! She didn't mean any harm, it's just that she's been fighting and sparring with people every day at the naval base, so her temper has become a bit strange. I hope you'll understand." The charming young woman apologized to the two drivers. "This time, because we're moving to a new place, she seems a bit impatient in every way..."

"You're the one who said there are even more and more powerful ship girls!" The beast-like woman heard this and spoke to the charming girl.

"Mmm, I told you, I told you." The charming girl quickly soothed the beast-like woman. "There are far more skilled people in the newbie naval base than in ours. At least it won't be like our old naval base where no one dared to practice with you. You can practice with whomever you want, so just wait a little longer..."

The beast-like woman reluctantly fell silent.

The charming young woman sighed and smiled wearily at the two drivers.

That expression was like that of a helpless mother taking her unruly child out.

"I'm sorry... please excuse my poor appearance," the charming young woman said with a helpless smile.

The two drivers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Then I won't bother you any longer... Anyway, although there's no strict requirement, I still hope that you two can keep what happened to us at noon to yourselves and try not to tell anyone else. Thank you very much." The charming young woman smiled as she said this to the two drivers, "I wish you a happy day."

"Me too..." The two drivers quickly spoke up to the charming young woman.

"Snapped!"

Just then, the beast-like woman standing next to the charming young woman suddenly reached out, grabbed the map from the young woman's hand, and stared at the spot where the two drivers had marked it.

"You guys go rent a car! I'm going to find someone to fight!!"

The beast-like woman spoke, tossing the map back into the arms of the charming girl. Then, before the girl could react, she strode off in one direction, grinning and letting out an expectant laugh. "See you later!"

"Huh?? No, you...we need to work together! You, you...you come back!"

The charming girl was completely unprepared for the beastly woman's actions. By the time she realized what was happening, the beastly woman had already dashed off to another street in the blink of an eye, leaving the charming girl and the other ship girls with only a tall, dark silhouette.

The charming young girl stared in astonishment, her small mouth forming an "O" shape. She gripped the map in her hand, stunned for a moment, before hurriedly taking a few steps forward, trying to catch up with the beast-like woman.

The streets were bustling with traffic, with pedestrians and vehicles coming and going.

At this point, it's obvious that you can't catch up.

"you you……"

"This is absolutely unreasonable!!"

Standing on the side of the street, the charming young woman's face turned red with anger.

The charming young girl stomped her feet angrily, pounding the floor as she watched the street where the beast-like woman disappeared, gritting her teeth.

The charming young woman took a deep breath.

"You bastard!!"

"You, you're driving me crazy!!!"

"Hindenburg!!! You'll remember this!!!"

Single update

Chapter 1264 Hindenburg

Three days have passed since Xiaobai returned to the garrison.

For some reason, Xiaobai's workload at the newbie naval base has been decreasing lately. Documents that used to take a whole morning to process can now be finished in just a few hours, leaving Xiaobai with practically nothing to do at the naval base these past few days.

For the past three days, Xiaobai's daily work schedule has been basically as follows: in the morning, she sits in her office with Lexington to process documents; at noon and in the afternoon, she is taken out for walks and play by the ship girls; in the evening, she goes home to watch Tirpitz play games; and occasionally chats with Enterprise Saratoga and Veneto who are visiting. Her days have been quite relaxed and comfortable.

For a novice like me who is always running around outside the naval base, used to being entrusted by various people to solve strange incidents, and then participating in all kinds of high-difficulty deep-sea activities, and occasionally taking a thrilling time travel to save the world and go on a great adventure in the mysterious sea.

The three peaceful days spent in the naval base.

This was probably the most leisurely period she had experienced since becoming an admiral.

"so good……"

It was a sunny morning.

As Xiao Bai sat in the office filling out the documents in his hands, he sighed softly.

Is it because the weather is really nice?

Lexington heard Little White's exclamation and asked with a smile.

"Nah."

Xiaobai smiled at Lexington, "Because I'm usually out participating in various activities, I rarely have the opportunity to stay in the naval base like this."

"Little White, do you really enjoy staying in the naval base?"

"Of course! No matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as home." Xiaobai said, placing the completed form on her right. "After all, there's not much to do at the naval base. You can even slack off at your desk all day without any problem. Life is so easy."

"easy……"

Lexington murmured softly, her gaze unconsciously drifting to Little White's desk.

Sitting at his desk, Xiao Bai seemed to be enjoying his leisurely days, but his hands moved so fast they were almost blurry. His pen swept across the thick folders, and with his relaxed tone, the mountain of documents, which looked like it could crush a person, was being processed at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it was almost finished.

Lexington gave a silent, bitter laugh.

For admirals, the most tedious job is dealing with these endless documents. Compared to spending their lives in the naval base surrounded by these heavy documents, most admirals prefer to live in the chapter-specific sea cities and conquer the seas, enjoying a wonderful life, and never returning to the naval base unless it is a critical moment.

But Xiaobai's hobbies seem to be completely opposite to those of other admirals. Not only does Xiaobai wish she could live in the naval base every day, but she also treats the clerical work that admirals dread as her only hobby, claiming that being an admiral is really relaxing...

The world is truly full of wonders.

Lexington recalled how stressed he had been by those documents a few years ago.

It's too awful.

"Xiaobai, this is the latest batch of documents for today."

Lexington walked up to Xiaobai's desk and placed a thick stack of documents on it.

"Well, I've finished the previous ones too." Xiaobai placed the last form on the table to her right, then reached out to take the new document Lexington handed her.

"Here you'll find the latest marine survey records, merchant ship navigation records, and changes in deep-sea aura—oh, and also contact information from other naval bases," Lexington said to Whitey.

"Other naval bases?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "It seems like we haven't received any contact information from other naval bases for a long time since I returned to the naval base last time."

"That's a good thing, at least the workload has been reduced by more than half," Lexington said with a smile.

"Which naval base is sending this letter?" Xiaobai placed the document Lexington handed him in front of him, gently flipping through it with his finger on the side, looking curious. "Could it be another exercise request?"

“That shouldn’t be it,” Lexington said.

"Isn't it?"

“Yes, the naval base that contacted us this time is the tenth naval base in the world.” Lexington gave a helpless smile. “I haven’t seen the contents, but I guess it’s to discuss the handover of the ship girls.”

"Ah! It's Sister Duan!"

Now that you've mentioned Sister Duan Shuiliu, Xiaobai is wide awake!

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately doubled the speed at which he was looking up the documents.

On the last page of the document in his hand, Xiaobai pulled out a pale yellow parchment envelope.

The parchment envelope felt quite heavy, square and thick. If you brought it closer, you could even smell the fragrance of ink. The envelope was also meticulously sealed with red wax, and a round seal of the Tenth Garrison of the World was stamped on the wax. Now that Xiaobai was holding the envelope in his hand, it really had a delicate artistic feel to it, making him reluctant to open it.

“Writing letters…that’s such an old-fashioned hobby.” Lexington stood next to Xiaobai, smiling as she looked at the envelope in Xiaobai’s hand. “Quite the ritual, isn’t it? Although I’ve never met that Sister Duan, she must be a very serious person, right?”

"Hmm!" Xiaobai nodded, carefully picked up the wax on the envelope with a ballpoint pen, reached into the envelope, and took out a very thick stack of yellow letter paper.

Xiaobai unfolded the yellow letter.

With a rustling sound, the yellow letter in Xiaobai's hand slid down like a spring, stretching and elongating all the way before finally falling to the ground with a thud.

On a long strip of beige letter paper, there were neatly arranged, very pleasing handwritten words. The characters were delicate and exquisite, and at a glance, there was not a single trace of correction on the entire strip of letter paper.

"...This letter is really long."

"That's true..."

Xiaobai and Lexington looked down, muttering to themselves as they glanced at the envelope.

Duan Shuiliu's letters were written with a great deal of formality. At a glance, Xiao Bai saw that the top part of the letters was full of polite, formal language such as "It has been a long time since we last met. How have you been?" "It has been more than a week since we last parted. I still remember your voice and smile vividly." "We are far apart and cannot meet. I am sending you this letter so that we can keep in touch from time to time." "The autumn scenery is pleasant. I hope you can take care of your mind and spirit."

They are all the kind of words and sentences that a complete novice can understand perfectly if taken out individually, but when put together, they are completely incomprehensible.

Xiao Bai gripped the letter in her hand and quickly looked down at it.

"This amount of text is quite impressive." After reading the very beginning, Lexington realized that the letter was sent by Duan Shuiliu to Xiaobai in a private capacity. She stopped reading and instead straightened up, exclaiming to Xiaobai.

"It seems...it seems to be over a hundred thousand words long." Xiaobai said, glancing at the long letter that had dragged on the floor beneath him.

What did the letter say?

"Well... to put it simply, the first part is about Sister Duan's recent situation. She said that all the ship girls from her tenth naval base have set off and will probably arrive here soon. She hopes we can be prepared to receive them." Xiaobai said while looking at the envelope in her hand. "Hmm... let me see... Ah, Sister Duan also told me about the performance of these ship girls at the naval base, telling me to make the best use of them. She also gave me a special introduction to a few ship girls who came to our naval base this time."

"Who?"

"Let me see... Hmm, I've got it, let's call it Hindenburg," said Xiaobai.

"Hindenburg?" Lexington raised an eyebrow and exclaimed, "Ah, that ship girl."

"Huh? Does Lexington know her?"

"I wouldn't say I know her, but I have some impression of this ship girl." Lexington smiled at Xiaobai. "The prototype of this ship girl was a blueprint ship that was never fully completed in human history. Because the size of the prototype ship was not much different from that of the Iowa-class, there were quite a few stories about her in the admiral circle when Hindenburg was born. That's when I heard some rumors about her—I didn't expect that the naval base that built Hindenburg was the tenth naval base."

"Oh...I see." Xiaobai nodded. "Sister Duan said that this ship girl named Hindenburg is the most powerful ship girl in her naval base."

"Hmm? The most powerful one?"
