"Admiral, where are you going?" Montana asked.
"Huh? Aren't we supposed to be forming a fleet?" Xiaobai asked, turning around.
"Admiral, am I enough on my own?" Montana said frankly. "Let me make this clear, I don't really like teaming up with others, it makes fighting feel restrictive."
"Uh...but..."
"Don't worry, no one will find it strange if I take the lead." Montana said, hoisting Little White onto his shoulder, then smilingly stepped out the door. "Besides, Missouri and the others still have to train Admiral Luo Lian's ship girls. This kind of thing is better left to someone like me who has nothing better to do! Without further ado, let's go, Admiral!"
"Hey? Hey hey? At least put me down—" Little White wiggled its arms and legs on Montana's shoulder, making noises.
"The wicked admiral needs to be punished."
"How could this be—"
Xiao Bai's voice faded faintly into the air.
……
The top floor of the Admiral's Guild.
Mu Yu put down the phone, closed his eyes, leaned back against the chair, and let out a long sigh.
Mu Yu rested with his eyes closed for a while, then suddenly seemed to realize something, opened his eyes, and looked to the side.
Ringo was sitting on a sofa not far away, holding a cup of warm tea, watching Mu Yu.
"...Why are you looking at me?" Mu Yu asked.
"You change your tune so quickly." Ringo shook her head, staring at the documents on Mu Yu's desk, and said softly, "You were crying so hard when you were on the phone just now, but you became so serious after you hung up."
"Nothing in the adult world is easy," Mu Yu said, stretching as she spoke.
"So, is she going to make a move?" Ringo asked, holding her teacup.
"Yes, Little White agreed so readily." Mu Yu tilted her head, looking out the window at the dark seascape that could be vaguely seen in the distance, and a smile appeared on her lips. "Little White is really young, she can't keep anything to herself."
“So this whole thing really was because of her…” Ringo lowered her head, looking at the teacup in the water.
"I didn't say that." Mu Yu stretched and yawned, then slowly stood up. "In any case, this eighth chapter of the deep-sea anomaly will ultimately end with the rookie naval base stepping in. It's that simple."
Mu Yu walked past Lin Qing.
Ringo looked up at Mu Yu, then glanced at Mu Yu's desk.
Mu Yu's desk was piled high with maritime reports and intercepted images and pictures.
The images and videos are labeled with a large number of terms such as "Newbie Naval Base" and "World's Number One Admiral".
"Ugh—wiping my butt is exhausting. I'm going to take a nap." Mu Yu stretched and ran to the sofa, picked up a book and covered her face. Soon after, she fell fast asleep.
Ringo put down her teacup.
Ringo looked at the fast-sleeping Mu Yu, staring intently for a while before gently narrowing her eyes, pursing her lips, and smiling softly.
Her stunning beauty, capable of captivating a nation, displayed unparalleled destructive power at this moment.
Even the dust in the air seemed to freeze for a moment, stunned by Ringo's fleeting smile.
……
This side.
After a long drive, Xiaobai and Montana have arrived at the entrance to the 8-2 sea area.
Due to the accident that occurred in the 8-2 sea area, all routes leading to the 8-2 sea area by conventional means have now been closed off by the Admiral's Guild staff.
Only admirals who have accepted the bounty mission and possess qualifications of 8-3 or above can enter the 8-2 sea area upon presenting their admiral credentials.
"Hello, please show me your admiral's credentials."
At the entrance to Sea Area 8-2, a staff member of the Admiral's Guild bowed politely to Xiaobai.
"My admiral's credentials are with my marriage ship. Can I use something else?" Xiaobai asked.
"Anything that can prove your identity is acceptable, such as the backend of the Admiral app," the staff member said politely.
Xiao Bai took out his phone, showed the backend page of the Admiral app, and handed it to the staff.
"Respected Admiral Lu Lin, welcome to your timely arrival." The staff member handed the phone back with both hands as expected and bowed to Xiao Bai again.
—Actually, given Xiaobai's current fame, the Admiral's Guild personnel wouldn't need any proof to recognize him. However, the Admiral's Guild has strict requirements that anyone entering or leaving the 8-2 sea area must have their identity verified, so they have no choice but to symbolically check Xiaobai's admiral's credentials.
Xiaobai expressed his understanding of this phenomenon and cooperated fully.
After showing the Admiral's Guild members guarding the entrance his credentials as the world's number one admiral, the iron gates leading to 8-2 opened.
"Admiral Lu Lin, um... please forgive my bluntness." The staff member, noticing that Xiao Bai only had one ship girl behind her, hesitated for a moment before saying somewhat apologetically, "This operation is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you're only bringing one ship girl to conquer the seas?"
"What? I can't do it alone?"
Upon hearing this, Montana immediately stepped forward with a smile, her eyes burning with brilliant golden flames, and her usually kind and friendly face now held a hint of malice in her smiling expression.
An invisible pressure swept over me.
“No, no, no, Miss Montana, we are not questioning your abilities… it’s just…”
The staff member suddenly realized he had said the wrong thing and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The staff member of the Admiral's Guild was also a ship girl. Faced with the pressure exerted by Montana, the world's strongest ship girl, she was so nervous that she forgot to recall her professional skills and could only stand there, like a frightened little bird, stammering and not knowing what to say.
“Montana is enough,” Little White said with a smile.
With Xiaobai's words of relief, Montana, who was standing to the side, finally felt the pressure eased, shrank back behind Xiaobai, and whistled.
After Montana stepped back, the staff's tense expressions relaxed considerably.
“Since Admiral Lu Lin has said so… then… then there should be no problem…” The staff member was too scared to look at Montana and stammered as he spoke to Xiaobai.
Seeing that the staff had no objections, Xiaobai stepped through the iron gate.
But just before Xiaobai was about to enter the gate, suddenly, a series of hoarse roars came from not far away.
"Admiral Lu Lin—I beg you, please save them!!!"
"Admiral Lu Lin!! I'm entrusting my daughter to you!"
"Admiral Lu Lin, you can do it!!!! You absolutely have to bring them back!!!"
"Admiral Lu Lin, if you... if you save her, I... I'll be your devoted follower for life!!!"
In the distance, admirals with flushed faces stood outside the banner, frantically waving their small flags and shouting at Xiaobai with all their might.
Xiao Bai stopped and looked at the admirals in the distance.
These admirals... Xiao Bai didn't recognize them, but looking at their desperate cries, Xiao Bai suddenly felt like he understood something.
These admirals... are probably the ones whose ship girls were captured by Abyssal Shinano and Abyssal Yamato...
They are now pinning their last hope of rescuing their ship girls on the world's number one admiral who is coming to their aid.
Thinking about this, Xiaobai suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.
Xiao Bai felt like he had let these admirals down a bit...
But soon, Xiaobai realized that she couldn't show such feelings in public. She could only quickly suppress the guilt she was about to reveal, then closed her eyes and held back for a while...
Immediately afterwards, Xiaobai opened his eyes, gave the admirals in the distance a somewhat embarrassed smile, and then raised a V-sign symbolizing victory.
Well, that's it.
After making a peace sign at the cheering admirals, Xiaobai quickly lowered her head and dove into the 8-2 sea area.
Montana followed Xiaobai toward the beach. As they passed the staff, Montana glanced at them.
The staff looked at Montana with fear, like startled mice.
Montana made eye contact with the staff.
then.
Montana suddenly winked at the staff with a relaxed expression. Then she chuckled and disappeared into the beach at area 8-2.
The staff who remained in place were stunned.
She slightly opened her mouth, turned her head to look at Montana's back, and suddenly a blush appeared on her snow-white cheeks.
The staff member covered his chest and clutched his collar.
what happened……
This inexplicable feeling of being moved.
Chapter 3214 Setting Off!
Cross the passage and reach the shore.
Accompanied by thick fog, the soaked sea breeze howled through the air.
Xiao Bai stood in front of the entrance to the passage, raised her hand to shield her eyes, and looked ahead.
The beach in the 8-2 sea area was sparsely populated. In the distance, thick black fog swirled and churned on the sea surface, like a extinguished cauldron holding a bowl of black soup that was boiling for no reason.
Xiaobai remembers that when she first brought Shinano Abyss into the 8-2 sea area, the abyssal aura on the sea surface was not so active. Now, perhaps because the abyssal aura of the entire sea area sensed the return of the Abyssal Dean, or perhaps because it had swallowed up thousands of ship girls, the 8-2 sea area was no longer as tranquil as before. The abyssal aura in the entire sea area was growing and spreading wildly, and it looked quite ferocious, as if it had shed its disguise and was baring its fangs.
Xiao Bai turned her gaze away and looked around.
Along the edge of the spacious beach, the Admiral's Guild staff were busily setting up defensive structures.
A large number of ship girls were carrying combat supplies toward the beach. Several admirals, accompanied by fully armed ship girls, were checking combat information under the guidance of several staff members. Each of them held a tablet computer and kept flipping through it. The ship girls behind them were also silent. Everyone's expression was focused and serious.
In Xiaobai's memory, these admirals on the beach were basically the top fifty admirals in the world that she had ever seen.
A while ago, in order to prevent Xiaobai from challenging them, these admirals went to Xiaobai's doorstep and collectively swore allegiance to him, which left a deep impression on Xiaobai.
They're here too...
"Admiral, who are these people?" Montana asked, pointing at the admirals.
“This mission isn’t just for us; any admiral with passage through the 8-3 sea area can take it on as well,” Xiaobai said to Montana beside her. “They’re also here to participate in the Deep Sea Dean’s conquest mission.”
"Oh...so you're in the same line of work. But there must be quite a few admirals in the 8-3 area, right? Why are there only a handful of people here?" Montana tilted her head and glanced at the admirals and ship girls in the distance, then asked Shiro with some curiosity.
“After all, being qualified doesn’t guarantee you’ll come…” Xiaobai smiled and explained to Montana, “The anomaly in the 8-2 sea area this time happened suddenly, and the information the human camp has is limited. Most importantly, the sea area is now as complex as a maze. The Admiral Guild hasn’t even compiled detailed information about the Deep Sea Dean’s true identity and abilities. Under these conditions, venturing into the sea area rashly is an extremely dangerous act for most of the 8-3 admirals.”
“I see… does that mean more admirals have chosen to wait and see…” Montana said thoughtfully.
“Rushing headlong into things isn’t always the right thing to do; someone always has to cover the rear.” Xiaobai said, turning to Montana, “Before I came here, I left messages for Lianlian, Nia, Miss Ninglu, and Jin Shiqi on my phone. They probably won’t come after receiving the messages.”
“That’s quite thorough,” Montana said with a smile.
"After all, this incident was partly my fault... well, you know. The one who tied the knot must untie it; I'll handle it. I don't want to drag them into it." Xiaobai scratched his cheek awkwardly. "Speaking of which, I did leave messages for the top ten admirals, telling them not to come... but..."
"but?"
"There will probably be people who don't listen to me..."
"Oh my god!! Admiral Lu Lin!"
As Xiaobai was speaking, a burst of enthusiastic shouts suddenly rang out behind him.
Upon hearing this voice, Xiaobai pursed her lips slightly, then a helpless expression of "I knew it" appeared on her face.
Little White turned around.
On the beach behind them, a robust young admiral with a bald head like a hard-boiled egg and a dark complexion was leading a squad of ship girls, waving with a smile, running towards Xiaobai.
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
The visitor was none other than Admiral Haoding.
Sure enough he came.
His appearance was not at all surprising to Xiaobai.
As Xiaobai watched Admiral Haoding lead the ship girls to her, he immediately flashed a set of bright white teeth at her.
Admiral Haoding's skin is now as dark as charcoal, which makes his already white teeth even more dazzling.
"Admiral Lu Lin! Hahahaha! It seems we've become comrades-in-arms again!" Admiral Hao Ding put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily. "With Admiral Lu Lin here, I'm sure this crisis will be resolved smoothly as always!"
As Admiral Haoding's hearty laughter, brimming with trust, the ship girls behind him bowed and saluted Xiaobai.
"Acting Admiral is well."
"Acting Admiral is well."
"Acting Admiral is well."
