Elder brother's garrison

Page 1560

Hindenburg said she didn't know what happened. In fact, in her mind, she should have been sleeping in Barbarossa's house a second ago, but the next second, after she had a good sleep, she opened her eyes and saw Barbarossa and Little White squatting in front of her asking about her injuries.

Weird.

Xiaobai and the others originally wanted to know which Deepsea Dean was responsible, but Deepsea Hindenburg's answer provided no reliable information. They even suspected that no one had done it in the first place, and that Deepsea Hindenburg had simply sleepwalked out and abused himself, resulting in this situation.

However, as far as Hindenburg herself was concerned, since she was not in any immediate danger, she didn't care. She continued to eat and drink as usual, and Barbarossa, who was only concerned about Hindenburg's safety, didn't take the truth of the matter to heart.

Ironically, it was Savoy, the biggest loser in the Hindenburg disappearance, who never forgot the incident.

“Since neither Barbarossa nor Deepsea Hindenburg cares… then there’s nothing wrong with just treating this as Deepsea Hindenburg’s sleepwalking.” Little White said to Savoy with a smile.

"Sleepwalking? You actually believe that?"

"Otherwise, we can't find any other evidence, can we?" Xiaobai laughed.

“Heh…” Savoy narrowed his eyes, looking at the air in front of him. “If I find out who’s behind this, I’ll make her regret what she did today.”

"That's really reliable," Xiaobai exclaimed.

"Hmph..." Savoy snorted lightly, glancing at the several Deep Sea Deans in front of her. "Speaking of which, where are they headed now?"

"They should be going to my house."

"your home?"

"Yes... Speaking of which, Miss Savoy, you haven't been there yet, have you?"

"...You two seem to be getting along quite well," Savoy said casually, then asked Little White, "What? Is there something nice in your house? Or is your house very big?"

“We’re all gathered together…it’s all the same wherever we are.” Little White interlaced her fingers as she spoke, then looked curiously at Savoy. “Oh…by the way, Miss Savoy, aren’t you going back to your own territory?”

"What? You don't welcome me?"

“Not really, it’s just that you’re a night owl, aren’t you? You don’t like being outside during the day,” Xiaobai asked Savoy.

"I've already gone through this today, do you think I'd still care about this? And if I remember correctly, my territory is currently ablaze with fire, isn't it? What would I do going back now?" Savoy chuckled, then patted Little White's shoulder. "Besides, I suddenly feel that staying by your side is quite nice, so I'm not going back."

Savoy's gaze as he looked at Little White gleamed with a peculiar light.

"...You won't dislike me, right?"

“...That’s true...no…” Xiaobai blinked and replied blankly. She felt that Savoy’s gaze was quite strange, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was so strange about it.

Ok……

Maybe it's an illusion.

More important than that is how long Savoy will stay at my house... What if she really stays by my side the whole time, just like her name suggests? Then I won't be able to get back to the naval base at all...

Just as Xiaobai was struggling with her decision, everyone finally returned to Xiaobai's doorstep.

At the entrance of Xiaobai's house, Shenhai Zuikaku and Shenfeng were standing at the door, standing on the left and right like door gods. Shenfeng was standing with his hands on his hips and bent over, looking a bit disheveled.

“You’re back…” Deep Sea Zuikaku noticed the returning Shiro and the others. She was about to greet them when she saw Barbarossa with a handprint on his head at the front, and Deep Sea Hindenburg covered in wounds. She then involuntarily closed her mouth, frowned, and looked at everyone with a strange expression.

It is clear.

Deep Sea Zuikaku is trying to understand the current situation, but the situation seems so complicated that her thinking has reached a dead end.

"Ah... Zuikaku from the Deep Sea... Good morning." Shiro waved to Zuikaku from the Deep Sea.

"Good morning." The Deep Sea Zuikaku withdrew its gaze, looked at Shiro, then lingered on Savoy beside Shiro for a moment, before frowning again. "..."

"Hmph." Savoy chuckled.

"...Looks like you had a very exciting morning," Deep Sea Zuikaku asked Shiro.

Chapter 2103 The relationship between Xiaobai and Hindenburg is one of licking wounds.

“Our morning wasn’t just about being exciting or not, it was clearly…” Xiaobai was about to explain, but after looking at the group of Deep Sea Deans surrounding him, he sighed and then said to Deep Sea Zuikaku, “Forget it, let’s go inside first. This isn’t something that can be explained in a short time.”

The deep-sea crane nodded.

The group entered Xiaobai's residence.

After exchanging glances with Zuikaku, Savoy, who was standing next to Xiaobai, gave a soft hum and asked her, "Zuikaku? Where were you this morning?"

"Stay home," replied Zuikaku Akagi.

"Are you sure you just stayed at home?" Savoy raised an eyebrow and asked in quick succession, "No witnesses? No evidence? When did you leave the house, and what did you do at home?"

Savoy and Zuikaku Fukami's relationship wasn't particularly good to begin with, and after Savoy's series of interrogations, which sounded like he was questioning a criminal, Zuikaku Fukami's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Savoy, stop asking," Little White quickly said to Savoy. "This couldn't have been done by the Deep Sea Zuikaku."

"Heh, how did you know?" Savoy asked Little White.

"Just trust me this once." Xiaobai didn't explain anything, but just smiled slightly at Savoy.

“…Tsk.” Savoy stared at Little White’s smiling face, but didn’t say anything and fell silent.

For the past two days, Shenhai Zuikaku has been staying at Xiaobai's house, practically living with Shenhai Hindenburg. Xiaobai can tell that their relationship is fairly harmonious, and based on that, Shenhai Zuikaku has no motive to commit a crime—moreover, Shenhai Zuikaku needs Xiaobai's help to escape from Frederick the Great's control. At this crucial moment, she has no reason to harm Dean Shenhai, with whom she has no prior grudge, and deliberately cause trouble for Xiaobai.

Return to the lobby.

The Deans of the Deep Sea felt like they were back home, each finding their place. For example, Savoy, who had just arrived, took a liking to Xiaobai's tent and immediately crawled inside. After a while, he stuck his head out and asked Xiaobai with a disgruntled look why the tent smelled like Barbarossa. Chaoda and others fanned him with a fan and served him tea and water, which finally calmed Savoy down.

On Barbarossa's side, after things came to a close, she sat down in her usual card-playing spot, still bearing the slap mark on her face. She took out her deck of cards from her ship's storage space and shook it up and down. Instead of finding a card player, the heavily wounded Deep Sea Hindenburg, covered in scars, lay down next to her with great interest, wagging its legs like a puppy.

Standing by the door, Xiaobai looked at the Deep Sea Deans in the hall and recounted the events of the day to Deep Sea Zuikaku beside her. Deep Sea Zuikaku listened silently to Xiaobai's story, her gaze shifting from calm to slight surprise, then to deep contemplation, and finally to a heavy layer of doubt.

"That's roughly how things went." Xiaobai concluded with a classic phrase.

"Hmm." Akami Zuikaku lowered his head slightly, his fingers bent and pressed against his lips, as if deep in thought.

"What's wrong, Myoho?" Xiaobai asked.

"So, who was the one who did it in the end?" Deep Sea Zuikaku asked, looking up.

"Well... I don't know." Xiaobai shrugged helplessly and spread her hands. "In the end, we still don't know what happened to Hindenburg in the Deep Sea, and she herself doesn't have any memory of it."

"So, you're not going to pursue this further?" asked Fukami Zuikaku.

"I wouldn't mind if I could find it... but there's nothing I can do if I can't find it. Let nature take its course. Anyway, I didn't lose anything today except for making a few extra trips and burning a piece of clothing." Xiaobai said that she was very open-minded about this. "Things will work themselves out."

"..." Shenhai Zuikaku nodded slightly after hearing Xiaobai's words, but still spoke to her, "However, it is worth noting that there are only so many Shenhai Deans in the city. Now, apart from Frederick, everyone is staying at your house. If the Shenhai Dean who attacked Shenhai Hindenburg does exist, then this murderer may be mixed among these people in front of you."

“That makes sense. Deep Sea Crane, who do you think is the most suspicious?” Xiao Bai asked curiously after listening.

“…” Akagi Zuikaku was silent for a moment, then spoke, “Kamikaze.”

"Hey!" No sooner had Shenhai Zuikaku finished speaking than a clear voice rang out beside Xiaobai and Shenhai Zuikaku. Shenfeng darted in front of them, her beautiful eyes blazing with anger as she stared at Shenhai Zuikaku. "That's going too far! How dare you question me! I suspect you're just using this as an excuse for personal vendettas! You're just trying to pull some strings!"

"..." Shenhai Zuikaku listened to Shenfeng's accusations expressionlessly. After Shenfeng finished speaking, she slowly nodded to Xiaobai, "What I said just now was just a suggestion."

Finished.

The Deep Sea Zuikaku didn't even glance at Kamikaze, and left with its eyes fixed ahead.

"What kind of person is this? They're clearly the prime suspect, yet they're suspecting me, the one who's been working all day..." Kamikaze watched the departing figure of Shinkai Zuikaku, his teeth itching with anger. After Shinkai Zuikaku left, Kamikaze looked down at Shiro and was startled to find Shiro smiling at him. He then lowered his brow, "Good sister...you...you don't really suspect me too, do you?"

"How could that be?" Xiaobai waved his hand.

"Then why are you looking at me with such a strange smile?"

"I just felt that Kamikaze-neechan looked a lot like another sister I'm very close to."

"Another one?" Kamikaze was taken aback, a little curious, but her mind was quickly drawn to something else, her eyes filled with feigned sorrow. "Never mind, let's not talk about that now. My dear sister, I want to ask you something from the bottom of my heart."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"How has your sister treated you these past few days?"

"It's fine," Xiaobai replied.

"Then why did you just leave your sister alone in the Savoy territory?" Kamikaze gently covered his mouth, tears glistening in his eyes, looking pitiful and heartbroken. "My sister is so sad."

"Oh...isn't it because you wanted to rest, Kamikaze-neechan?" Shiro laughed at Kamikaze. "I think you were willing to be thrown out by Barbarossa on purpose so you could rest, so I deliberately didn't call you and let you rest enough."

"Uh..." Kamikaze paused, looking embarrassed. "Ahem, let's not talk about that for now. My dear sister, let's talk about something else."

"Okay."

"Hoo..." Kamikaze exhaled, her expression gradually returning to seriousness. "Good sister, I was hiding nearby just now and listened to your whole story. That Deep Sea Hindenburg... did you really find it?"

"Yes."

"How did you find it?"

"It's about using carrier-based aircraft."

"...Carrier-based aircraft..." Kamikaze listened to Shiro's words with distrust. "Good sister, it's fine if you fool others, but it's a bit bullying to fool your older sister. I am an airport, after all. I know a thing or two about how difficult it is to fly in the city, how narrow and dark the view is, and how difficult it is to search."

"Well... luck, luck." Xiaobai chuckled, then reached out and patted Shenfeng's waist. "This time it was just my good luck. Hmm... more importantly, I have to go to the other Deep Sea Deans. I can't stay here forever. Shenfeng-neechan, you can find a place to sit anywhere."

"Eh? Good sister..." Kamikaze reached out his hand.

"Oh right, Kamikaze-neechan." Shiro turned around.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Kamikaze was taken aback.

"Even though so many people doubt you, like I said before, I've always believed in you!" Shiro gave Kamikaze an OK sign.

"..." Kamikaze.

Little White skipped and hopped away.

Kamikaze remained where he was, staring blankly at Shiro's departing figure.

Kamikaze opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Kamikaze leaned against the door frame and slowly sat down, quietly watching Dean Akagi and Shiro in the hall. Finally, he rested his chin on his hand and let out a soft sigh.

Kamikaze stared intently at Shiro's retreating figure, his gaze lingering on her.

After leaving Kamikaze, Shiro also arrived at Barbarossa's side.

"Admiral! Let's play cards!" As soon as he saw Shiro, Hindenburg, who was lying on the ground, raised his hand high and shouted cheerfully to Shiro, showing no awareness of being a victim of the disappearance of the Deep Sea Dean.

Hindenburg's body was covered in wounds on his snow-white skin. From time to time, black blood seeped from the center of the healing wounds. The wounds were also stained with rust. With Hindenburg's own movements, a small bloodstain had been imprinted on the ground.

"Let's not play cards for now." Xiaobai first carefully examined the wounds on Deepsea Hindenburg's body, then smiled bitterly and squatted down. "Deepsea Hindenburg, let me put some medicine on your wounds."

"Potion?" Deep-Sea Hindenburg tilted his head. "What's a potion?"

"It's something you apply to wounds to prevent them from getting worse," Xiaobai said to Deepsea Hindenburg.

“Wounds…” Deep Sea Hindenburg sat up cross-legged, raised her arm to look at the wounds on her skin, and then asked in confusion, “But Admiral, when I was injured before, they would heal on their own without me having to do anything about it.”

“Things have changed… Back then, you had the protection of your ship equipment, and your physical condition was much better than it is now. Now, without the protection of your ship equipment, your resistance and self-healing ability are hundreds or thousands of times weaker.” As Xiaobai spoke, she took out various bottles and jars from her ship equipment space. “You are more fragile than you think right now. If these wounds are left untreated and allowed to become infected, leading to diseases like tetanus, it could very well kill you.”

Chapter 2104 A New Understanding

"Deadly!"

Although Xiaobai spoke gently, Deepsea Hindenburg was still startled.

Hindenburg of the Deep Sea is usually loud and boisterous, but what Deep Sea Dean doesn't value his life? Upon hearing that the consequences of ignoring the wound would be so serious, Hindenburg of the Deep Sea immediately became cautious. Even Barbarossa, who had just been trying to find someone to play cards with, was attracted by Xiaobai's words and stared intently at this side.

"Don't worry, don't worry, as long as we handle it properly, this kind of thing won't happen." Xiaobai quickly reassured the two of them, then unscrewed a glass bottle.

"Admiral, what is this?" Hindenburg asked cautiously.

"This is saline solution... it's commonly used in physiological experiments or clinical settings... well, anyway, it's used to rinse wounds. I just looked at your wounds. You have quite a few wounds, but they're all scratches and superficial injuries, not really serious. However, they're covered in a lot of dirt. To prevent infection, we must rinse the dirt off the wounds." As Xiaobai spoke, she held up the water bottle and beckoned to Deepsea Hindenburg, "Here, give me your hand."

Xiaobai stood up, holding Deep Sea Hindenburg's hand. She first walked around Deep Sea Hindenburg, then picked up and put down the saline bottle in her hand, finally sighed, shook her head, screwed the cap back on, squatted down and hugged all the bottles and jars on the ground into her arms.

"Admiral?"

“You have too many wounds, it’s not convenient here, and there are other people watching you. Let’s find a small room.”

“Oh…” Hindenburg blinked, but still nodded obediently.

Xiaobai's place has many small rooms. For example, last time she and Barbarossa went into one of the small rooms to play some naughty games. This time, she brought Deepsea Hindenburg in.

Deepsea Hindenburg's trust in Xiaobai was absolutely off the charts; she showed no resistance whatsoever to Xiaobai's offer to take her into the dark room.

Enter the small dark room.

Xiaobai put the bottle in her arms aside, then called out to Deep Sea Hindenburg behind her, "Deep Sea Hindenburg, take off your clothes."

“Okay!” Deep Sea Hindenburg nodded. She walked up to Little White and quickly took off her clothes, inside and out, without missing a single piece.

Happy together.

The deep-sea Hindenburg appeared completely naked, facing Little White's gaze with utter honesty.

Hindenburg has a great figure and fair skin. Perhaps because he is very active, Hindenburg's body is both full and quite athletic, especially the streamlined shape between his legs and hips, which is comparable to the alluring figure splashed by an artist in an oil painting, making him quite eye-catching.
