Elder brother's garrison

Page 2758

The radiant bubbles in Chicago's hands gradually overflowed, quickly spreading to Garibaldi, Yubari, and Shiro, forming a thin protective film on the three of them.

"Huh, I feel a bit lighter," Garibaldi said to Xiaobai, noticing the change in his body.

"Yes, is there...?" Xiaobai didn't feel any change in the green membrane on her body.

“It does feel a bit lighter.” Yubari nodded and said to Garibaldi, “Not bad, this is also an aura skill that can be applied to teammates.”

“Hmm…” Chicago frowned, looking at the green foam in his hand with a strange expression. “Strange… When did I awaken this skill… and I don’t even know it myself.”

"Haha, then don't even think about it." Yubari laughed when she heard Chicago's mutterings. "It's normal that you don't know about this. Your skills were awakened for you by the Admiral."

"Admiral?!" Chicago was taken aback for a moment upon hearing Yubari's words, and couldn't help but look at Shiro with surprise. "Did you awaken this skill for me, Commander?"

"Well..." Xiaobai thought for a while, neither sure nor denying it.

“It’s the effect of special modifications. I also awakened my skills after the modifications!” Garibaldi immediately explained, then continued to Chicago, “I heard that the sisters in Guam and Alaska had the same experience!”

"That's truly remarkable." Chicago, upon hearing this, lowered her hand with some emotion. She looked at Xiaobai with an expression that was hard to decipher. "Our commander is too amazing. Not only can he help ship girls transform into missile ships, but he can even help them awaken skills. If others saw this, they would definitely want to capture our commander and study him."

"Luckily, no one can catch the admiral now," Yubari said from the side.

“Speaking of which, Garibaldi, what skill did you awaken?” Chicago asked Garibaldi.

"Ah, this is it!" Garibaldi reached out, and the green light on his hand became prominent, transforming into a small green rope that seemed to wrap around him out of thin air.

"Not bad." Chicago nodded. "What were the results?"

“Hmm… that’s how it should be used.” Garibaldi thought for a moment, then clenched the small rope in her hand, made a fist, and casually tapped Chicago’s chest lightly.

Garibaldi's punch was not forceful; the force was very light, almost like a touch.

But just as Garibaldi's fist was about to strike Chicago's chest, the little green rope in Chicago's hand suddenly vanished into thin air and reappeared on Chicago's body the next second, binding his upper body tightly.

"Hiss..." Chicago tried to struggle, but the little green rope was much stronger than it looked. She struggled several times but couldn't get the little green rope off her body or even break it. "What kind of effect is this?"

“Hmm… it seems that my skill can be attached to my attack methods other than missiles. As long as it makes actual contact with my attack methods, this green rope can climb up to the other person and bind them.” Garibaldi thought for a while and explained to Chicago, “So, Chicago, you are restricted by my skill.”

"What a cheesy control skill!" Chicago exclaimed immediately.

“The premise is that I have to hit it with an attack method other than missiles…” Garibaldi smiled sheepishly. She reached out and gently touched Chicago, and the small green rope binding Chicago automatically broke and disappeared. “Besides, it seems that I can only summon one rope, so it’s not that useful. If it were the sisters of large battleships, they could sink the enemy directly with a direct hit. My special control requires a direct hit, which is a bit redundant.”

Chicago is free again. She touched the spot where she had just been tied up with a small rope and shrugged noncommittally.

“Speaking of which, what about Guam and Alaska?” Chicago asked.

"They went back to pull it."

"Aren't you going back?" Chicago continued to ask Garibaldi.

"Ah... I... I'll stay here and keep you company, sir." Garibaldi immediately crossed his arms sheepishly. "Well, there are still two shipboard systems here that need to be modified..."

“Hmm…” Chicago exchanged glances with the others present and nodded.

“You can leave Chicago too. There’s a factory in Baltimore right outside,” Xiaobai said with a smile.

“Thank you, Admiral… But, Admiral, are you about to finish modifying the remaining two ship equipment?” Chicago replied, his gaze sweeping over Yubari.

“Yes, we’re going to modify this one next,” Yubari said, pointing to the next missile shipboard unit she had just brought over.

“I’ll wait a bit longer then. I’d like to see what that modification that can awaken my skill looks like.” Chicago said, putting his hands behind his back and looking around. “There should be a spot for me here, right?”

"Of course there are."

Shiro and Yubari immediately spoke.

Chicago was a decisive person. After she finished her modifications, Shiro and Garibaldi sat with her in their previous seats, watching Yubari modify the next ship's equipment from afar.

Chicago watched with great interest as Yubari displayed her unparalleled transformation skills. She crossed her exceptionally long legs, her two fair and shapely legs moving up and down alternately. As if she hadn't yet adapted to the change from shorts to a skirt, her movements were rather rough, and her skirt was almost lifted up by her leg-switching movements.

Little White whispered a reminder to Chicago.

Chicago looked down at her short skirt, smiled slightly, said nothing more, and casually pulled the skirt back down.

"This is really inconvenient. I'll probably change into shorts later," Chicago said.

"Hmm... everything's fine, everything's fine." Xiaobai nodded.

Garibaldi carefully placed her hands on her knees, gently stroking her long dress, lost in thought.

The next modification of Yubari was completed twenty minutes later.

Yubari pushed the modified vehicle to Shiro and beckoned Shiro to come forward for the final step.

While Chicago was still wondering what Xiaobai's final step would be, Garibaldi, who was standing next to Xiaobai, had already gotten up and escorted Xiaobai to the front of the missile ship.

Just like before, Xiao Bai poured his mental energy into the ship's equipment, mimicking the same method.

When he was channeling his spiritual energy, the surroundings were too calm. Chicago waited for a while with his arms crossed, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Soon, Xiaobai finished infusing her mental energy and released her hand. The ship's equipment in front of her began to hum and heat up instantly, its aura becoming exceptionally terrifying.

"Wow, that's spectacular!"

Chicago was astonished to see the ship's rigging turn fiery red and scorching hot, and then she clapped her hands in surprise.

Chapter 3883 Growth

Chicago was not at all alarmed by the sudden increase in temperature and the loud noise from the missile ship.

On the contrary.

She was staring intently at the fiery red ship rigging, her eyes filled with an interest that resembled watching a spectacle.

"Haha! It's bright red!"

Chicago seemed to find something strangely funny; she chuckled and muttered to herself.

Upon hearing Chicago's voice, Xiao Bai and Garibaldi couldn't help but glance at Chicago a few more times.

The momentum of the scorching ship equipment continues to rise.

Chicago's gaze toward the ship's equipment grew increasingly interested and curious.

Then, just as the fiery red ship rigging reached its peak, the incessant buzzing suddenly ceased. Immediately afterward, the scorching hot metal rigging vanished into thin air without warning after a strange, soft "whoosh," while simultaneously, hundreds of charred cables connected to it crashed to the ground with a series of crackling sounds.

As the ship's equipment disappeared, the scorching heat that had been lingering around also dissipated.

Chicago, who was closely watching the changes in the ship's equipment, widened his eyes instinctively upon seeing this.

"Huh? The ship's equipment has disappeared..." Chicago was slightly surprised by this outcome. She quickly turned to Xiaobai and asked, "Commander, is that all? Where's the ship's equipment? Won't it explode with a bang?"

"Uh...why do you think the ship's equipment will explode..."

"That's because... the ship's equipment was already so red just now, and the sound it made and the temperature it was rising were like it was holding back to its limit... wouldn't it be a bit impolite if it didn't explode?" Chicago asked with a serious tone after a moment of contemplation.

"If it really explodes, what will you be wearing then..." Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She said to Chicago, "Don't forget, your ship equipment was modified in the same way."

"Oh, that's true..."

After listening to Xiaobai's words, Chicago paused for half a second, then belatedly nodded and looked away.

Chicago stared at the charred cables scattered on the ground, her expression a mixture of regret and understanding as she muttered to herself.

"Since it's meant for our own ship girls, it doesn't seem right for the commander to blow it up..."

Chicago seems to have a strong obsession with events like bombings.

Xiaobai didn't know whether to comfort Chicago or explain anything, so she could only smile at Chicago.

Just a few minutes after the missile ship equipment disappeared into thin air after completing its integration period, the sound of a door opening came again from the direction of the hibernation room.

Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp and light footsteps came from the corridor leading to the hibernation room.

The footsteps were intermittent, as if the person would stop every few steps to curiously observe their surroundings.

"Is anyone there? Hello?"

Who's here?

Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.

With a few calls, and under everyone's gaze, a slender girl with short chestnut-yellow hair carefully walked out of the corridor, leaning against the wall.

The girl wore an oversized black navy cap and a classic black and white navy sailor uniform. Her white sleeveless shirt revealed her fair shoulders and arms, and she wore black shorts with her long legs extending out from them, covered by black knee-high socks with white stars, making her look very playful and cute.

With each step she took, the metal high heels on her feet made a crisp, clattering sound on the ground.

"Ok?"

After walking out of the corridor, the tall girl with short chestnut-yellow hair exchanged a few glances with the ship girls standing in the center of the ship equipment hall.

Xiao Bai and his group exchanged glances with the girl with short chestnut-yellow hair.

"Admiral, so you're all here." The girl with short chestnut-brown hair seemed finally relieved to see everyone. She let out a breath and walked towards them, greeting them familiarly as she went. "Hmm, there are so many people here. Am I one of the last ones to be modified? Why did you leave me alone in the hibernation chamber? When I came out just now, I felt really lonely because there was no one in the room..."

"Kiart, are you Kiart?" Garibaldi finally spoke up from Xiaobai's side, asking the girl in front of her.

"Huh? Who else could I be but Giate?" The girl with short chestnut-yellow hair stopped in her tracks and looked at Garibaldi with a puzzled expression.

"Hiss..." Garibaldi covered her mouth, staring in astonishment at Kiat's appearance. "This, this change is also..."

"Hey, you've grown up," Chicago nodded in agreement.

"Huh? What changes? What growth?" Kiat listened to everyone's words with a puzzled look, tilting her head and raising her eyebrows in a strange manner. "What are you talking about?"

"Kiart, anyway, congratulations on finishing the modification..." Seeing the situation, Xiaobai spoke first, smiled at Kiart, and then asked, "But next... Kiart, have you looked in the mirror?"

"Looking in the mirror?"

"Yes, there should be a full-length mirror over there in the hibernation chamber, right?"

"Yes, I do... but why would I look in a mirror? When I came out of the hibernation pod, I found I was all alone, so I came out to look for someone..." Kiat looked puzzled. She walked up to the group and was about to speak when she got closer to Xiaobai. To her surprise, Xiaobai, who was originally a little over half a body length taller than her, was now about the same height. She couldn't help but take another look at Xiaobai in amazement and asked, "Eh... wait a minute, Admiral, have you gotten shorter?"

As soon as Kit said those words, it was as if he had stabbed Xiaobai in the heart, making Xiaobai immediately clutch his chest, not knowing what to say.

Yubari chuckled and turned his back to laugh.

Garibaldi looked at Kiat awkwardly.

"What's wrong? Everyone seems to have something to say but can't say it..." Kiat looked at everyone strangely, then looked at Garibaldi and Chicago with suspicion. "Hmm? Wait a minute, Garibaldi, have you gotten shorter too? And Chicago too... I remember you guys were much taller than me before."

“Kiart, what we’re saying is, is it possible that it’s not that we’ve gotten shorter,” Chicago shrugged, explaining to Kiart, “but that you’ve gotten taller?”

"what?"

"Since you stepped out of the hibernation pod, haven't you ever felt that your body is different from before?" Chicago asked again.

"...?" Kiat blinked, frowned, raised her hands, and looked down at her body. "Hmm? My body... Come to think of it... I felt strangely unsteady when I walked after coming out of the hibernation pod... Could there be something wrong with my body?"

Kiat stared at his palm, lost in thought for a while.

After being reminded by others, Kiat suddenly realized that his arms and hands seemed to be more slender and longer than before, especially his fingers, which were incredibly white and delicate, as sharp as the tips of scallions, and no longer had that youthful, small hand feel.

When Kiat looked up, Yubari finally finished secretly laughing. She dragged an oversized full-length mirror out of her ship equipment space and placed it in front of Kiat with a thud.

“Kiart, look, just look,” Yubari said.

"Huh? Is that me?!"

Kiat's eyes widened for a moment. The girl who appeared in the mirror looked surprised, but her slender figure and graceful posture were completely different from the Kiat remembered herself.

Before the transformation, Kiat was a proper little girl, only 1.2 meters tall, which was considered one of the smaller ones in the naval base.

But after the modification, Kiat's height suddenly increased from short and slender to almost that of a light cruiser ship girl. She was tall, with delicate hands and feet and pretty and mature features, as if her biological age had suddenly increased by six or seven years.

Oh dear...

Kiat stared at herself in the mirror, watching the "young lady" in the mirror make the exact same movements as her. She opened her mouth slightly and couldn't help but strike a few poses in front of the mirror and turn her body a few times.

Wow.

That face, those arms, that slender waist, those long legs...

If Sister Jilin saw this, it would be such a blow to her...

Kiat cupped his face in his hands, his mind racing with all sorts of thoughts.

"Look, she's obsessed." Yubari poked Shiro's arm and said to him as she watched Kiat admiring her looks and figure.

“After all, it’s my new look…it’s normal to look at it more often…” Xiaobai smiled, looked at Kiate, and called out, “Kiate.”

"Hmm?" Kiat stopped in front of the mirror, cupping her face in her hands as she looked at Shiro. "Admiral? Are you calling me?"

"Yes," Xiaobai said with a gentle smile, "How does it feel to have the new ship equipment?"

“Hmm… to be honest, I’m not quite sure.” Kiat straightened up, arms crossed, looking at everyone with a puzzled expression. “But… why am I the only one who’s changed like this? Garibaldi didn’t change at all, did Chicago…”

"Guam and Alaska have changed just as much in appearance as you have."
