Elder brother's garrison

Page 1049

"Let's focus on the fishing village where the admiral used to stay," Kitakami said calmly to Pompeii.

Pompeii nodded dejectedly.

"Admiral, are there any sisters from the naval base in the village?" Ooi asked Shiro.

"Over there in the villages... well, there are some, from Missouri, Wisconsin, Hindenburg, and Yamato-neechan," Xiaobai said. "They're all very capable. If we really encounter a deep-sea disaster, we can rely on them to hold out for a while."

"...Uh, who are they?" Dai-i asked, looking confused.

The ship girls that Xiaobai mentioned.

There isn't a single member of the original crew from the newbie naval base.

"..." Xiaobai scratched his head, "They... came to the garrison after I took office."

"Wow... how long have you been in office, Admiral?"

"Uh, it's been more than half a year."

"So many top-tier ship girls have been created in just six months?"

"...I have never built a ship."

"Then where did all these ship girls around you come from, Admiral?"

"Fired up."

"..." Oi.

"What's the difference between throwing a large, living deep-sea amphibious ship into the sea and throwing deep-sea wreckage into the sea?" Bei Shang asked Xiao Bai.

"In terms of the outcome, although both are sources of deep-sea disasters, if it's a living, large deep-sea amphibious vessel... due to the unique nature of deep-sea aura, once the deep-sea aura grows stronger, it's more likely to create powerful deep-sea amphibious vessels than to generate new ones... in other words..."

"Will living deep-sea ships be named by the gradually growing deep-sea aura and thus promoted to deep-sea deans?" Iowa, who was driving, interjected.

"Yes, that's possible." Xiaobai nodded.

“Well… that’s a real problem…” Ooi and Kitakami were silent for a moment, then said with some tension in their expressions.

“Ah…of course, being promoted to the Deep Sea Dean is only a theoretical possibility. In reality, it also depends on the breadth of the sea area…With the barren sea around the small fishing village, it is difficult to produce a Deep Sea Abomination ship of the size of a Deep Sea Dean.” Xiaobai quickly explained, “…However, even so, it is basically a foregone conclusion that the large Deep Sea Abomination ship was named by the Deep Sea Abomination ship and was promoted.”

"The enemy is at least a deep-sea frigate..." Kitakami muttered softly, "and so close to human settlements..."

“Yeah… If it’s far from that little fishing village, I’m not really worried… I called Missouri right after I heard the news, but no one answered.” Xiaobai sighed, looking at her phone with some worry.

“It’s quite unexpected that Missouri isn’t answering the Admiral’s calls,” Iowa said, her eyes darkening.

"Could it be that there's been a disaster at sea and they've started fighting?" Ooi asked cautiously.

“That’s possible…” Xiaobai nodded. “Because there were surviving deep-sea ships from the beginning, the occurrence of disasters in the sea area is very unstable…that’s why I want to get to that small fishing village as soon as possible.”

"It's okay, leave it to me!" Iowa slammed his hand on the steering wheel. "Although the accelerator is already floored and we can't accelerate any further, we'll rely on perseverance and courage to keep going!"

"Perseverance...courage?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"This is my route!" Iowa slammed the steering wheel shut. "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line!"

The roar of the engine exploded, and the SUV speeding on the highway turned sharply and plunged towards the edge of the cliff. With a screech, the large SUV broke through the guardrail and rushed down the cliff.

For a while.

A strange feeling of floating filled the hearts of everyone in the car.

Subsequently.

It's a strong feeling of impact.

The ship girls inside the vehicle turned pale.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah----"

A bloodcurdling scream.

The sound echoed through the cliffs in an instant.

Chapter 1358 Milk Steak

The small fishing village is located just one train stop away from the train station in Mianjiang City.

This distance isn't far; with a powerful off-road vehicle, a few hours should be more than enough under normal driving conditions.

However, these few hours felt far too long for Xiaobai and the others who were eager to get started.

Fortunately, there was Iowa.

With Iowa's terrifying driving skills in every sense, the off-road vehicle carrying Xiaobai and the others perfectly embodied the meaning of off-road driving.

along the way.

Iowa never took his foot off the accelerator, the off-road vehicle was always in a state of maximum acceleration, Iowa controlled the large off-road vehicle to traverse mountains and fields, jump cliffs and cross ditches, and rampage through mountain forest roads. If he didn't do something, it would be a thrilling day trip to the gates of hell. With full power, he headed straight towards the small fishing village.

Amidst the rumbling of car horns.

What would normally take several hours to travel along winding mountain roads was, without anyone noticing, compressed by Iowa into a journey of less than an hour.

"Rumble————"

An hour later.

Beautiful scenery.

On a verdant mountaintop

An off-road vehicle, as if it had sprouted wings, sped out from the other side of the mountain, landing with a thud on the downhill road. It then continued its descent, shaking as if it were about to fall apart, before finally crashing into a boulder several meters thick. The boulder sent it flying, spinning several times in the air, before landing with a thud on the side of the winding road.

"Huff—"

The SUV, which landed back on the ground, made a satisfying, slack sound as it burned out.

The scorching hot car body emitted billowing white smoke, and the roaring engine inside finally stopped with a thud, completely ceasing all activity.

inside the car.

"Looks like this car has reached its limit... Phew... Luckily we've made it to the fishing village." Iowa murmured softly. She finally released her foot from the accelerator, unbuckled her seatbelt, and turned to look at Little White beside her. "Admiral, we've arrived."

Beside Iowa, Xiaobai, pale-faced, gripped the seatbelt tightly. Leaning against the car door, she looked out the window, still shaken.

Ah...we've arrived.

I arrived at my destination alive.

Xiaobai took a deep breath for a long time.

"Hiss—whoosh—" Xiaobai wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, "Have we...have we arrived yet?"

"Isn't this the way the Admiral pointed out to me?" Iowa smiled at Xiaobai, then turned to look at the back seat of the SUV. "Three sisters, we've arrived at the entrance of the small fishing village. We'll get out and continue our journey now."

In the back seat of the SUV.

Daiki lay sprawled on Pompeii's lap, foaming at the mouth with his head tilted back. The three of them were silent, drenched in sweat, and pale-faced, as if they had been subjected to some kind of torture.

Iowa's driving skills.

It's less about driving skills and more about a kind of killing technique.

—This is a roller coaster ride through the wilderness for over an hour... Even if passengers' minds can take it, their hearts can't.

However, no matter what, although Xiaobai is now eager to educate Iowa about traffic rules, Iowa has at least accomplished the feat of compressing a three- or four-hour journey into less than an hour, so Xiaobai really can't say anything more.

Xiao Bai pushed open the passenger door, staggered a bit to the back door, and opened it.

The mountain breeze, carrying the damp scent of earth, slowly blew into the car cabin.

It brought a sliver of clarity to the three ship girls who were on the verge of fainting.

The ship girls shuddered, gagged, and scrambled out of the off-road vehicle like schoolchildren after school.

"Finally, finally we've arrived! Ugh, ugh, ugh—"

"That's...that's great, ugh—"

"I vomit... vomit vomit vomit—"

As soon as the three ship girls climbed out of the carriage, they rolled onto the ground and ran straight into the nearest patch of grass, where they bent over and began to retch.

"Looks like my driving skills are still lacking... I made these three sisters suffer so much." Iowa got out of the car and walked to Shiro's side. Looking at the three ship girls lying on the ground retching, a hint of apology appeared on her face. "It seems I still need to practice my driving skills more in the future..."

Iowa had just finished speaking.

The ship girls who were lying on the ground retching shuddered. They quickly raised their hands and waved them in terror at Iowa.

"No! Please don't!" Ooi gasped for breath. "You really don't need to practice anymore. Your driving skills are pretty good, except for being dangerous!"

"Pay more attention to the car's comfort..." Pompeii covered her mouth, looking nauseous like she was experiencing morning sickness.

"Anyway, let's not think about driving now. We've already arrived at the entrance of the fishing village. Let's go to the fishing village!" Xiaobai was also startled by Iowa's words. She quickly tugged at Iowa's sleeve and said to everyone.

"The admiral is right!"

The three ship girls who had been gagging around the weeds finally calmed down. They wiped their mouths and quickly stood up, indicating that they had recovered and were ready to join the battle at any time.

"..." Iowa.

After an hour of bumpy and grueling travel in Iowa, Governor Ringo's SUV finally broke down and could no longer be used normally.

Fortunately, just as the off-road vehicle finally broke down from the wreckage, Xiaobai and the others arrived at the winding road at the entrance of the small fishing village, without delaying their journey. This coincidence can be considered a manifestation of the will of the universe.

Xiaobai and the ship girls jogged along the road to the small fishing village.

"Admiral, we'll be running for a short while. If you get tired, just tell me, and I can carry you." As the group moved forward, Ooi said to Shiro.

"Thanks, Ooi, but it's alright. I'm actually... pretty good at running." Xiaobai smiled at Ooi. "Don't worry about me. You guys should save your energy and prepare for the battle later."

"Oh!" Ooi jumped up on the spot.

"When you left Cotton River City, the Admiral called Missouri, right?" Iowa said to Xiaobai. "Missouri didn't answer the phone then. Does that mean there's been an emergency in the fishing village?"

“That’s very possible…” Xiaobai nodded. “The worst-case scenario is that they’re already at war over there… Missouri doesn’t have time to answer my calls or anything like that.”

“But now…” Iowa ran while closing his eyes and listening carefully to the sounds ahead, “I haven’t heard any sounds of fighting ahead…”

"Does that mean the battle is over?" Ooi asked from the side.

“It’s possible…” Xiaobai nodded again, a hint of worry appearing on her face. “I’m confident in Missouri and the others’ combat capabilities, but there are still quite a few residents at the fishing village’s docks. If a conflict breaks out with the Deepsea Abyss Ships, those civilians could easily be affected… and there’s even a possibility that protecting those residents might interfere with Missouri and the others’ performance…”

"...The outcome of the battle isn't very optimistic," Iowa sighed. "And with the combat strength of Captain Huai Ren's mercenary group, facing an enemy of the Deep Sea Dean level..."

"Commander Huai Ren's mercenary group will definitely suffer heavy casualties..." Xiao Bai continued Iowa's words, his face showing even more worry.

Speaking of it.

Xiaobai and the ship girls fell silent.

The only sound along the way was the rapid, pattering of footsteps echoing around them.

After nearly ten minutes of travel.

Gradually, a familiar, deep blue sea appeared before Xiaobai, as if it were emerging from the horizon.

A small village, along with the shimmering sea, came into view of Xiaobai and the others.

"Ah, we've arrived. The small fishing village is just ahead!"

"The village is intact, with almost no signs of battle, and there's no smoke rising from it. That's great! It seems like it wasn't too badly affected!" Xiaobai exclaimed with delight as she looked at the intact fishing village. "It looks like Missouri and the others' resistance was very effective!"

"Then let's hurry to the dock!" Ooi glanced at the outline of the small fishing village in the distance, and after confirming the direction of the dock, he stretched out his hand to Shiro. "Admiral, we need to speed up! Take my hand!"

"Oh, oh!" Xiaobai nodded quickly and then took Dajing's hand.

next second.

With a gentle pull, Da Jing drew Xiao Bai into his arms, lifted him up in his arms, and then stomped his foot hard. Like a colorful bomb launched from its chamber, he leaped up from the ground with a thud and sped towards the small fishing village.

For a while.

Xiao Bai only felt the wind rushing past his ears, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be torn apart like a landscape painting, constantly being pulled into strips behind him.

In the blink of an eye, the small fishing village that seemed so far away was now right in front of us.

Da Jing and Xiao Bai jumped into the air, leaping three feet high into the air and into the entrance of the small fishing village. Then, without stopping, they stepped on the rooftops and sped towards the dock.

"Admiral, there are a lot of people at the dock! And it's very noisy!" Before even reaching the dock, Ooi said to Shiro.

"Huh? Is it very noisy?"

"Yes, although the wind has blocked out a lot of noise, it seems like there are a lot of noisy howling sounds coming from the dock."

"Huh? So they're still fighting?!"
