"Sure enough!"
"It seems everyone's ship girl teams have fallen for this trick!"
"It's okay if one or two squads of ship girls come back late, but if everyone comes back this late, then there must be a big problem!"
"Nine times out of ten, they've encountered an unimaginable enemy!"
"Let's contact the Admiral's Guild immediately!"
"The current 8-2 sea area is clearly beyond the capabilities of admirals of our level!"
The admirals on the beach were immediately thrown into a panic, and they hurriedly dialed the Admirals' Guild's emergency number.
……
Generally speaking, admirals rarely take the initiative to call the Admirals' Guild for help.
After all, the Admirals' Guild is extremely busy, and it also has to coordinate the operation of an entire city. There are already countless and chaotic matters to attend to. Under such circumstances, the Admirals' Guild cannot simply stop for the personal request of a particular Admiral. Therefore, if they encounter some troubles during an expedition, the Admirals often choose to handle them themselves or seek help from their colleagues.
But... it's clear that the problems that have arisen in the 8-2 sea area are no longer as simple as "personal issues".
Without exception, all the ship girls dispatched to the 8-2 sea area have disappeared without a trace.
The number of admirals involved quickly exceeded one hundred, and the number of ship girls affected soared to over a thousand in a short period of time!
This is clearly a disaster of accidental magnitude!
We must inform the Admiral's Guild immediately before things escalate further!
Drop drop drop...
The calls from the admirals instantly made the admirals' guild hall in the city center bustling with activity.
One by one, the staff members of the Admiral Guild received an emergency call from the 8-2 sea area. They solemnly recorded the admirals' messages, then compiled and transcribed the information, and quickly sent it to Luo Yingying's office.
Soon, Luo Yingying's miserable howls echoed from her office.
But soon, before the sound had completely faded away, Luo Yingying's office door opened, and the ship girl Shenying came running out quickly, carrying a thick stack of documents and a series of newly issued instructions.
……
Upon receiving the news, the Admirals' Guild immediately closed off the 8-2 sea area, and all the admirals affected by the incident were properly accommodated and comforted.
Surrounded by a large number of Admiral Guild staff, several expedition teams composed of Admiral Guild members, equipped with various sophisticated instruments, quickly arrived at the sea area of 8-2.
The Admiral's Guild's expedition teams were well-prepared and set off in batches.
About two hours later, when it was noon and the sun was at its brightest, none of the several expedition teams sent out by the Admiral's Guild returned.
The staff of the Admiral's Guild were sweating profusely with tension as they hurriedly checked the recording equipment carried by the expedition team on the beach.
Through the feedback images from the recording equipment, the staff of the Admiral's Guild finally saw the entire experience of those expedition teams—after leaving the beach, these experienced expedition teams strictly followed the sea map and went deep into the sea, quickly reaching the depths of the sea completely covered by thick fog. And at this point, everything the expedition teams experienced took a sudden turn.
Before entering the fog, the sea was peaceful and the route was clear.
Once inside the fog, the sea becomes turbulent and dark, teeming with danger.
In the deep fog, countless deep-sea ships relentlessly launched surprise attacks from blind spots in the search area.
The expedition team had almost no rest along the way, as the attacks from the deep-sea ships were relentless. Soon, the expedition team's condition deteriorated rapidly. They went from being calm and composed at the beginning to getting wounded and struggling to cope. In the end, they barely managed to win, and later they simply fled in a sorry state.
The expedition team eventually attempted to retreat, but they had already lost their way in the fog.
During their escape through the Black Mist Sea, the expedition team reached their limit and quickly entered a trap zone. In that despairing sea, the last scene shown on the screen was the monstrous, predatory deep-sea ships that seemed to occupy the entire world. Surrounded by the crimson eyes of the deep-sea ships, a figure enveloped in purple light appeared, with a vague outline of body visible, but mostly a slender figure shrouded in thick fog.
Chapter 3211 S-Rank Hunting Mission
"Awoooooo! Awoooooo! Hohohohoho!"
The last few seconds of the footage transmitted back to the beach were filled with the roar of deep-sea amphibious ships covering the hillsides.
Immediately afterwards, the panicked and desperate cries of the expedition team's ship girls came from the video. The screen began to flicker, tilt, and shake violently. Finally, with a click, flames exploded on the screen, and the video cut off.
……
On the beach, watching the images transmitted from the depths of the 8-2 sea area, the staff of the Admiral's Guild fell silent. They swallowed hard and looked at each other in bewilderment.
The situation is... quite clear now.
If I'm not mistaken, the 8-2 sea area has now become the most dangerous section of all the sea areas in Chapter 8...
Because this place... has already nurtured the Dean of the Deep Sea!
That domineering yet cold figure in the video is definitely real!
Although I can't see the face or the specific figure, it must be Dean Shenhai!
Only the appearance of the Dean of the Deep Sea can explain this strange phenomenon!
Moreover... and most terrifyingly, seemingly influenced by the birth of the Deep Sea Dean, the depths of the 8-2 sea area have inexplicably become exceptionally dangerous!
The staff present were all experienced sea patrol officers, most of whom were even veteran ship girls who had fought countless battles. Logically speaking, nothing in this world should surprise them, but when they saw the expedition team's experience in the depths of the 8-2 sea area through the screen, even the most senior ship girls among them couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, as if they could feel the immense pressure behind the screen that made it hard to breathe.
What the hell is going on...?
How did the depths of this 8-2 sea area become such a horrific sight...?
The sea fog was cunningly distributed, the shipping routes were intricate, the deep-sea ships launched surprise attacks from blind spots one after another, and there were traps that led to their demise like slowly boiling frogs... and the deep-sea dean was already waiting in the traps for the ship girls to walk right into them...
Is this a naturally formed sea area?
What a joke!
The obvious design of this sea area layout could not possibly be naturally formed!
You could call this a super-sized maze specifically designed for hunting ship girls!
No wonder none of the ship girls who entered this sea area before could return! This maze is clearly a terrifying place where once you step in, there is no turning back!
The staff studying the video footage exchanged glances, their expressions changing drastically. They quickly relayed the news back to the Admiral's Guild in Chapter Eight.
The news from Dean Shenhai... must be relayed to the Admiral's Guild as quickly as possible!
This is a big deal!
Less than half an hour after the staff on the beach in the 8-2 sea area relayed the important message back to the Admiral's Guild, the Admiral's Guild issued a city-wide warning.
In an instant, the piercing sound of sirens echoed throughout the city of Chapter Eight, and every mobile phone with the Admiral app downloaded emitted an extremely conspicuous notification sound.
When the admirals picked up their phones to take a look...
The phone automatically started playing the voice call function.
"Dear Admiral, reliable comrades. A major anomaly has occurred in the 8-2 sea area, which is currently sealed off. Admirals who are not involved should not approach. Please wait patiently for further notice regarding the reopening time of the sea area."
Repeat once.
"Dear Admiral, reliable comrades. A major anomaly has occurred in the 8-2 sea area, which is currently sealed off. Admirals who are not involved should not approach. Please wait patiently for further notice regarding the reopening time of the sea area."
Repeat once.
"Dear..."
The repeated notification sounds made all the admirals in Chapter 8 frown.
Such a clear and piercing sound suggests that something truly terrible has happened in the 8-2 sea area...
After some admirals turned off the notification sound, they suddenly saw a special little red dot appear in the admiral app again.
Clicking the little red dot brought up a text message.
"The following information can only be received by admirals who have reached the sea area above 8-3. In view of the huge changes in the sea area 8-2, the Admiral Guild has issued S-rank hunting missions to all admirals who meet the requirements. This mission is not mandatory to complete, but it is mandatory to accept. Please check the app backend if you meet the requirements."
The admirals who were scrolling through their phones were stunned for a moment. They subconsciously opened the app's background and, sure enough, saw a special mission flashing with a blood-red light in their taskbar.
Hunting Mission (S+)
Access Restriction: Mandatory
Other requirements: None
Failure penalty: None
Task time limit: 24 hours
Mission Details: At 11:38 AM today, the Admiral's Guild has confirmed the presence of the Deep Sea Master in the 8-2 area. The Deep Sea Master poses an extremely high threat, and thousands of innocent ship girls have already been caught up in this incident. To rescue these ship girls as soon as possible and defeat the Deep Sea Master, Admirals with 8-2 or higher qualification will be granted a pass to the 8-2 area. There are no restrictions on this mission; anyone who defeats the Deep Sea Master, regardless of the means, will receive the full reward!
Attachment 1 to the mission: "Battle Situation in the 8-2 Sea Area".txt
Task Attachment 3: "Analysis of Sea Area Maps".docx
Mission Rewards: 200000 Challenge Tickets, 300000 of four resources, 1000000 Merit Points, and 50000 Activity Practice Points.
In the backend of the Admiral app, the S-rank hunting missions flashed with a blood-red dark light. When the Admirals' eyes moved to the mission rewards at the very end of the mission, all the Admirals gasped.
My goodness.
What abundant resources!
The reward for this one task is probably comparable to the total rewards of an entire high-return event!
The high reward of this mission made the admirals eager to participate, but soon, after downloading the additional files and learning about the current status of the 8-2 sea area, the admirals frowned with considerable unease as they stared at the data in the mission.
This……
The sea is exceptionally turbulent, the layout is like a giant maze, and there are areas of fog that make it almost impossible to breathe...
Is this map even playable by humans?
The deep sea is already very unfriendly to ship girls. Every time the ship girls fight the enemy in the deep sea, they have to desperately find a safe zone where the deep sea atmosphere is weak to rest. But at this time, the layout of the sea in the 8-2 area seems to have been changed. Not to mention a safe zone, there is not even a place for the ship girls to catch their breath!
Is a map of this quality really something I can handle...?
The rewards for S-rank hunting missions are certainly plentiful, but... you need to be alive to enjoy them...
The admirals were tense and conflicted.
……
at the same time.
Just as the admirals of Chapter 8 were struggling to study the situation in Sea Area 8-2.
In Xiaobai's temporary garrison, Xiaobai looked at the alarm sound coming from her phone. She picked up her phone, scrolled through the background of the Admiral app, and found the newly appeared S-rank hunting mission.
"Finally appeared..."
Xiaobai looked at the rewards in the mission log, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded.
Xiao Bai turned off his phone screen, stuffed it into his pocket, then got up and left the dormitory.
Outside the dormitory, the ship girls were hurrying about.
The ship girls, coming and going, walked along, whispering amongst themselves.
"Did you hear that?"
"heard it!"
"A Deepsea Commander has appeared in 8-2, and it seems to be a big problem; hundreds of admirals have been affected!"
"That was so sudden..."
"I felt perfectly normal yesterday."
"We need to prepare well too, we might need our help when we go out later..."
The ship girls came and went quickly. Xiaobai stood at the dormitory entrance, watching the ship girls, and then looked up at the sky.
Looking at the dark sky, Xiaobai gave an awkward smile.
"Ah this..."
"Hasn't this caused a bit too much of a commotion...?"
Xiao Bai initially thought that the appearance of Shinano in the Deep Sea would at most cause a little tension for the Admiral's Guild in Chapter 8, and incidentally issue a decent reward for the subjugation mission.
But Xiaobai never expected that the appearance of Shinano Deep Sea would have a far greater destructive impact on the entire eighth chapter than he had anticipated.
It hasn't been that long, and already thousands of ship girls have been affected...
The Admiral's Guild was also on edge because of this incident, and directly came up with a mission reward that was terrifying in its own way.
This generous gesture surprised Xiaobai, but also inexplicably made her feel a little guilty.
Xiao Bai felt a sense of bewilderment, as if he had only intended to steal an egg from his neighbor's vegetable garden but had accidentally brought home all the chickens from that farm.
clap clap!
