Elder brother's garrison

But after all, Ella had just given Xiaobai such a big shock, and now Xiaobai's mind was full of things about Muxi and the Deep Sea Ark, so he had no mood to visit other places.

"Oh... alright." Ella nodded somewhat disappointedly, but didn't try to persuade Xiaobai any further. "Then let's go back."

Ella led everyone to the other end of the small corridor and pushed open the door.

After everyone left, Xiaobai turned around and glanced back at the corridor.

The black-clad maids on both sides of the corridor were quiet. The maid near the door walked to the door, gently closed the covered door, and shut out the view inside the glass room.

"...These black-clad maids are really strange." Xiaobai looked at the black-clad maids' movements and turned to Ella, saying, "Are they like security guards?"

"Hmm...more or less." Ella thought for a moment and nodded to Xiaobai. "It's like this, if I hadn't led you in just now, those maids wouldn't have let you get close to the third experimental area."

"Oh oh oh, that's it."

"Although they can't compare to the top-tier ship girls, they're still pretty good at fighting. Don't make them angry, Xiaobai," Ella said with a smile.

"Yes, I'll remember that." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

The paths in the base were like a spider web, full of deception, but Ella, having grown up here, clearly remembered every single one.

Led by Ella, Xiaobai and the others quickly returned to the entrance of the large laboratory.

Push open the door.

The coffee table in the lab that Xiaobai had smashed with a single stroke had been replaced with a brand new one while everyone was out. Luo Lian sat at one end of the coffee table, writing furiously on the manual, while Ella's grandfather stood at the other end, holding a book and lecturing Luo Lian like a teacher.

"Besides the basic conceptual runes, there are also smaller runes that connect the functions of other runes. These runes don't have a specific meaning, but they are essential for a series of runes to activate their effects completely and successfully in sequence..."

"Grandpa!" Ella skipped over to her grandfather and hugged the old man around the waist. "Little White and I are back from our visit!"

"Ouch." Ella's grandfather was interrupted by Ella's leaping, looked down helplessly, reached out and pinched the tip of Ella's nose, and said to Ella with annoyance, "You little brat, you're always causing me trouble. I'm giving a lecture, wait until I finish this sentence."

"hey-hey."

"Xiao Bai." Luo Lian also saw Xiao Bai and the others. She put down her pen, which she had been writing incessantly, waved to Xiao Bai and the others, and smiled. "You're back."

"Lianlian, how are you feeling?" Xiaobai bowed to Ella's grandfather, then walked up to Luo Lian and smiled at her.

"Yes, this old man is very capable. I learned a lot." Luo Lian patted the notebook in her hand and said to Xiao Bai.

Someone whom Luo Lian calls "very powerful" must be truly exceptional.

Xiao Bai hasn't seen Luo Lian address anyone else like that before.

Xiao Bai glanced at the old man talking to Ella in surprise, and sighed.

As expected of the patriarch of a great family that studies runes...

"How about you guys? How was your visit?" Luo Lian asked Xiao Bai and the others.

"Uh... it's alright." When Luo Lian asked this, Xiao Bai immediately thought of Mu Xi again. She looked at Ella and Ella's grandfather on the other side of the coffee table with difficulty, and whispered to Luo Lian, "Ella took us to visit some very secret places... I'll tell you about it separately when we have time later, or after you finish your research on runes."

“Okay.” Luo Lian nodded to Xiao Bai without any hesitation. “Xiao Bai, I’ll probably be coming to the base quite often these next few days. Ella’s grandfather said I lack some basic knowledge, so he just arranged a few rune crafting classes for me.”

"That's good."

"Well, that means I'll spend less time on the ground."

"I'm fine, don't mind me." Xiaobai took Luo Lian's hand. "Now you need to study the rune knowledge well. I wish you a speedy success in researching ship girl technology."

Xiao Bai smiled at Luo Lian.

Luo Lian silently looked at Xiao Bai without saying a word.

But for some reason, blood began to gush from Luo Lian's small nostrils like a burst dam.

"Waaaaah!? Poor thing, your nose..."

"It's nothing..." Luo Lian quickly turned her head, pulled her hand back from Xiao Bai's hand, covered her nose, and after a few seconds, she stretched out her blood-soaked hand and gave Xiao Bai a bright red thumb. "It's not a big problem."

"This is obviously a big problem!" Xiaobai's face turned pale with fright, and she anxiously pulled a pack of tissues out of her pocket.

Whether Luo Lian's problem is serious or not can be put aside for now.

When Xiaobai and Ella returned to the large research lab, it was clear that Luo Lian and Ella's grandfather's academic discussion was not yet over. After finally stopping the bleeding from Luo Lian's nose, Luo Lian said that he would stay underground to catch up on his studies for a while before going back. Only then did Xiaobai say goodbye to Ella's grandfather and leave the large research lab with the ship girls.

Ella wanted to return to the ground with Xiaobai, but this time her grandfather didn't give her the chance. Before Xiaobai left the large laboratory, her grandfather grabbed her and stuffed several thick reference books into her tearful arms. He urged her with exasperation, saying things like, "Other people's children, like Bai, can write rune strokes like lightning, and Luo can even become self-taught. When will you, you little rascal, ever amount to anything? Tonight, do ten sets of papers to calm down," and so on.

Xiao Bai left the large laboratory. Outside the laboratory, a maid in black had been waiting for Xiao Bai for a long time, holding a white key.

The maid in black led Xiaobai and the others back to the large black door and opened it for them.

Xiao Bai left the black gate and returned to Experiment Zone No. 1, which was full of staff.

"Welcome back."

Beside the black gate.

The black-clad maid who had escorted Xiaobai and the others inside was still standing in the same spot, smiling and waiting for them.

"Miss Maid...hello." Xiaobai looked at the smiling face of the black-clad maid and waved to her.

"Hello," the maid in black smiled at Xiaobai, "Would you like to continue your tour of Experiment Zone One?"

“…Uh, no need.” Xiaobai shook her head, and before the black-clad maid could speak, she interrupted, “Oh, right, Miss Maid.”

"What's the matter?"

"When I just went in, didn't you say something like thank you for my boiled egg...?"

"Yes." The maid in black nodded.

"Are you referring to the time I gave advice to a maid who took good care of me on Earth?"

"Exactly."

"...How did you know?"

"As a maid, it's normal to have special communication skills, right?" the maid in black said with a smile.

"……"noob.

For some reason, the maid's explanation made a lot of sense.

"What's your relationship with that maid on the ground, sister maid?" Xiaobai asked.

"You could say we're colleagues, or you could say we're superiors and subordinates," the maid in black nodded.

"Are you my superior?"

“No, she’s my superior,” the maid in black said with a smile.

"..." Xiaobai was shocked.

No matter how you look at it, the maid in front of me is much more proper...

"That person is not good with words, nor is she good at expressing emotions, but in fact, just like us, she has a clear understanding of the kindness around her." The maid in black bowed to Xiaobai. "That person is very grateful for your kindness to her, guest."

"Oh..." Little White squeaked.

Xiaobai and the ship girl were sent back to the elevator by the ship girl in black, and then returned to the ground.

The first thing to do upon returning to the ground was, of course, to check on the two admirals who were obsessed with young girls, according to Guild Master Er Gou.

Before Xiaobai and the others could even enter President Ergou's room, just as Xiaobai and the ship girls approached their own corridor, they heard two rather embarrassing and prolonged screams in the corridor.

"Help! Help! Someone help me!!"

"I like young girls, but I'm most afraid of perverted women!!"

Two naked, slender figures, draped in sheets, screamed and ran frantically down the corridor as if their lives depended on it. From Xiaobai's direction, two snow-white figures could be seen nervously clutching the thin sheets covering their bodies, their shapely, long legs throbbing rhythmically, the sounds carrying with them filled with utter helplessness and trembling.

"Don't resist, give up struggling!! It won't hurt, I'll make you feel really good tonight, hehehehe!!! Don't run away, pretty girl!"

"Tonight, I'll open the door to your new world! Hahahaha!!"

Then came the familiar voice of President Er Gou, as if some strange switch had been flipped.

"……"noob.

Ok.

It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years.

Chapter 1441: Fifth, Eighth, and Tenth. (6000 words)

Ella's family lives in a coastal city called Blue Sea City.

Bihai City is a medium-sized city with beautiful scenery and convenient transportation. In the past ten years or so, thanks to the increasingly developed information industry and abundant marine resources, both tourism and commerce in the city have flourished. Unbeknownst to many, the city has developed quite well, and its size has grown accordingly, gradually transforming it into a prosperous coastal metropolis.

The "Ship Equipment Research Center" where the Ella family is located is situated in a relatively remote industrial area of ​​the city.

Although it is an industrial area, most of the large factories there are just shells that serve as cover for the Ella family. Although there is frequent traffic, the factories are not actually operating, so the surrounding environment is not affected by industrial pollution. As a result, even bustling pedestrian streets and residential areas have opened up near this area.

A slender figure walked out of the pedestrian street at a leisurely pace, slowly approaching the ship equipment research center where the Ella family was located.

The figure walked silently, and soon the ship equipment research center where the Ella family was located came into view. In front of the tall and large iron gate, two other figures stood at the door, looking towards the road where the figure was.

The slender figure looked up and silently stared at the two figures in front of her for a while. Her pace did not quicken or slow down even though she saw that there were people waiting for her ahead.

The figure approached the gate of the ship equipment research center at a leisurely pace.

Waiting in front of the ship equipment research center were two admirals, one male and one female.

The female admiral stood slightly closer to the iron gate, a half-smoked cigarette dangling from her red lips. Her gaze would occasionally drift towards the figures on the road, and then follow the smoke to the azure sky, as if she were lost in thought.

The female admiral had a delicate face and charming features, exuding a strong feminine aura. Her long, fiery red hair reached her waist, and her snow-white admiral's uniform hugged her curvaceous figure, revealing her rounded breasts, slender waist, peach-shaped buttocks, and long, shapely legs. She wore formal attire in a way that gave off a strange, inappropriate vibe for children.

The male admiral next to the female admiral looked much more ordinary compared to his movie star-like colleague next door. He had above-average looks, above-average build, and above-average demeanor. He was the kind of person who would be easily lost in a crowd.

"Duan Shuiliu?"

The male admiral stood straight at the iron gate of the ship equipment research center. As the figure in the distance finally approached, he raised his hand and called out to the figure.

A figure on the road drew closer.

With a stern and indifferent face and a long, straight ponytail, he was none other than Duan Shuiliu, the admiral of the world's tenth garrison and the captain of the military police.

"Hello." Duan Shuiliu walked up to the two admirals and nodded slightly to them.

"It really is you." The male admiral breathed a sigh of relief and gave Duan Shuiliu a peaceful smile. "Well, I just arrived with the admiral from the Fifth Naval Base. Before we even got inside, we saw you coming from the pedestrian street."

Duan Shuiliu's gaze silently shifted to the female admiral standing to the side.

The world's top ten naval bases possess different levels of information security due to their special status, to the point that most admirals in the world only have a vague understanding of them, having heard of them but never actually seen them.

However, the admirals ranked in the top ten have all been in the world's top ten together for more than ten years, so they are actually quite familiar with each other.

The female admiral silently smoking and gazing at the sky in front of Duan Shuiliu is the admiral of the fifth-ranked naval base in the world today.

Although this female admiral possessed an exceptionally alluring figure and exquisite face, she seemed to have a rather aloof personality. When she saw Duan Shuiliu casting his gaze at her, she didn't say anything, but simply opened her hand holding the cigarette slightly as a greeting to Duan Shuiliu.

Duan Shuiliu silently nodded to the female admiral.

"Speaking of which, I heard a rumor that your naval base had been incorporated into the army, Duan Shuiliu. I thought you wouldn't be coming on this mission." The male admiral scratched his head and asked Duan Shuiliu, "What about your naval base...?"

“It’s an empty shell,” Duan Shuiliu said.

"Huh? You've really been recruited? Then you..."

“The disbandment of the naval base will take time, so as of the time the mission was issued, my world ranking has not dropped yet,” Duan Shuiliu said calmly to the male admiral. “Given the mission, it should be over soon.”

"Oh..." The male admiral scratched his head, looking at Duan Shuiliu with a regretful expression, "Sigh... What a pity... Your naval base is so powerful."

“Your ranking is higher than mine,” Duan Shuiliu said.

"I'm only in eighth place." The male admiral gave an awkward smile. "We're all old colleagues here. Everyone knows that if your naval base really wanted to climb the ranks, it could go from tenth to third or second in the world in just a few days."

"I no longer have any ship girls." Duan Shuiliu.

"Uh... so what about your event this time?"

"We're counting on you guys."

"..."

"..."

"Uh..." The male admiral looked at the conversation, which had suddenly died down because of his own words, and felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head awkwardly and pointed to the iron gate behind him. "Well, it's kind of awkward to just stand here like this. Why don't we go inside first?"

Duan Shuiliu nodded silently.

The male admiral turned around and waved his hand loudly at the iron gate. With a loud bang, the iron gate opened a crack, allowing people to pass through.

The three admirals passed through the iron gate one after the other.

"This mission is in a really, really urgent situation for us, so I guess the top ten all chose to have their ship girls prepare at the naval base first, while the admirals themselves came here first to study tactics, survey the environment, and understand the situation, right?" The male admiral said to Duan Shuiliu as he walked through the gate. "It's quite a coincidence, isn't it? That's how I met Miss Fifth on the train. Anyway, we all had the same destination, so we came together after getting off the train."
