Elder brother's garrison

Page 362

In Xiaobai's perception, the connection between these carrier-based aircraft and Xiaobai was extremely weak. No matter how hard Xiaobai tried to control them, they were like nothing at all, floating in mid-air. They couldn't even get their vision properly fed back into Xiaobai's head, let alone fly into the sky.

This is no longer a question of whether or not to help get the lily of the valley; it has already affected Shiro's own plans.

Without carrier-based aircraft to broaden its field of vision, when will a newbie ever be able to find advanced cities on its own?

Xiao Bai thought for a while, then closed his eyes again.

She ultimately chose to retreat into her own mental world.

Soon, the familiar scent of grass and the majestic aroma wafted onto his face once again, and Xiaobai opened his eyes.

Wearing a dress, Deep Sea Will sat cross-legged on a rocking chair, her whole body leaning lazily against the table next to her. Her slender elbows rested on the table, supporting her chin, as she looked at Xiaobai with a playful smile.

As the rocking chair swayed back and forth, the snowy white flesh of Deep Sea Will's two thighs, crossed beneath her skirt, was faintly visible, captivating the eye.

"You're back so soon? My master?" The Deep Sea Will smiled with its usual disdain.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai lowered her head, her hands placed under her body, her ten fingers constantly interlacing.

"It seems you've encountered some difficulties," the Will of the Deep Sea asked.

"..." Little White raised its eyes and looked at the Will of the Deep Sea with a wronged expression.

As the core of Xiaobai's spiritual world, the Deep Sea Will has completely merged with Xiaobai's memories. It knows everything Xiaobai has experienced, and its current question is clearly an attempt to make things difficult for Xiaobai.

"I won't release the plane," Xiaobai said to the Will of the Deep Sea.

Although Deep Sea Will was once at odds with Xiao Bai, she can now be considered one of Xiao Bai's own people. In addition, she is also a leader of the Deep Sea Army, so it's not unreasonable for Xiao Bai to ask her for advice when she doesn't know how to fly.

"Oh, and then?"

"Can you teach me?" Xiaobai asked hopefully.

"Just practice and you'll be fine." Deep Sea Will sat in the rocking chair, yawned softly, and then wiped away the tears that had welled up in his eyes from the yawn. "What else can you do if you're stupid? Just be more diligent."

"How long will it take to practice?"

"There won't be any problems in three or four years."

"Huh?!" Little White looked at the Will of the Deep Sea in shock.

"It won't be long, just a short while in the grand scheme of your lifespan," said the Will of the Deep Sea.

"..." Xiaobai's mouth drooped down. "It's still taking too long... Is there any other way?"

"Sure, hand over control of your ship's equipment to me, and I'll launch your carrier-based aircraft." Deep Sea Will scoffed lightly. "However, whether I use your carrier-based aircraft to blast those annoying humans outside into dust, or whether I'll just use your carrier-based aircraft to blow you to bits and take you down with me, is another story..."

"Really? That's great!" Xiaobai looked at Deep Sea Will with surprise. "How do I transfer control of the ship's equipment to you?"

"...Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"...Tsk." The Deep Sea Will seemed to have missed a good show. She stood up from her chair, walked to Little White, and quietly looked at Little White.

Unconsciously, Xiaobai lowered his head under the gaze of the Deep Sea Will.

"Once we're outside, just cut off control of the carrier-based aircraft. Leave the rest to me." After a while, Deep Sea Will's cold and beautiful voice finally reached Xiaobai's ears.

"Thank you." Little White nodded to the Will of the Deep Sea, then its entire body gradually transformed and disappeared. "I'm going now."

Once again, only Deep Sea Will remained on the grassland.

Xiao Bai opened its eyes and looked at the carrier-based aircraft in mid-air.

Several carrier-based aircraft were hovering listlessly in mid-air under its control. Xiao Bai smiled sheepishly at the aircraft, then, following the instructions of the Deep Sea Will, severed all communication between itself and the aircraft.

Cutting off contact is actually quite simple. In a sense, launching carrier-based aircraft is like flying a kite. Xiaobai is the type who can't get the kite flying no matter what, but letting go and throwing away the string that's restricting the kite is no problem at all.

The carrier-based aircraft, now out of Xiaobai's control, slowly plummeted from mid-air toward the ground, but just before crashing, it suddenly gained power.

The blue flames swirling around the carrier-based aircraft suddenly expanded and intensified as if they had been sprayed with oil. With a loud boom, the carrier-based aircraft made a rapid maneuver on the ground and shot straight into the sky, skimming past Xiaobai's body.

With a series of booming sounds, the carrier-based aircraft transformed into streaks of blue fire, flying one by one towards Xiaobai's body. They then flew back and forth on Xiaobai's body in various defiant manners before finally soaring into the sky and turning into a streak of blue light that was barely visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Bai touched his face, which was burning hot from the blue flames, and once again realized the terrifying control of the Deep Sea Will.

Such a capable person, thankfully not an enemy.

Xiaobai retrieved its ship equipment, silently thanked the Will of the Deep Sea in its heart, and then headed back to the village where Suzuran lived, following the path it had come from.

Just as Xiaobai was rushing back to the village, suddenly, a streak of blue flames shot straight towards Xiaobai's body from the sky.

That was a carrier-based aircraft controlled by the will of the deep sea. With a whooshing sound, it arrived above Xiaobai's head in the blink of an eye, but stopped quickly when it got close to Xiaobai. It carried cold flames and kept circling above Xiaobai's head.

"Hey? Why are you back already? I'm almost back in the village, don't let anyone see this!" Xiaobai hurriedly said to the carrier-based aircraft.

However, the carrier-based aircraft continued to circle above Xiaobai's head, then flew directly in front of Xiaobai and kept drawing circles.

"..." At first, Xiaobai didn't understand what the carrier-based aircraft meant, but after looking at the circle of the carrier-based aircraft, he suddenly seemed to remember something, "Could it be, enemy activity?"

The carrier-based aircraft paused for a moment, then made checkmarks in the air.

"Oh no!" Xiaobai immediately thought of the village where Linglan lived.

The deep-sea ships that attacked the village last time were all destroyed by Xiaobai, and it is very likely that they did not return to the sea. It is estimated that the deep-sea ships in the sea went ashore to look for the deep-sea flagships that were destroyed before.

Xiao Bai's heart sank immediately.

Chapter 464 This child might be able to save the world

Led by the carrier-based aircraft controlled by the Will of the Deep Sea, Xiaobai sprinted back the way she came. She instinctively used the power of her ship's equipment, transforming into a white blur, rushing through the jungle like a gust of wind.

As Xiaobai drew closer to the village where Linglan lived, she gradually began to hear rumbling sounds.

That was the sound of bombing that Xiaobai had heard countless times.

It was the sound of artillery shells hitting the ground, shattering life and buildings.

Although the carrier-based aircraft had already used hand gestures to tell Xiaobai the current situation, Xiaobai's heart still sank when he heard it with his own ears, and he couldn't help but shout "Oh no!" in his mind.

Little White dashed out of the jungle like a whirlwind and looked toward the village where Lily of the Valley was located.

Just minutes before, the village was thriving, but now it was completely engulfed in flames. Newly built, unfinished wooden houses, tools in the center of the village, and the ground scorched by previous shelling were all torn to shreds by the relentless artillery fire.

Xiao Bai's eyes looked towards the other end of the village, where several deep-sea cruisers spewing flames stood on the ground. Crimson flames flickered incessantly in the black barrels, accompanied by the sound of explosions, and the flames were relentlessly ravaging the ruins of the village.

Seeing all this, Xiaobai's breathing quickened, and golden light slowly emanated from its golden eyes.

Xiao Bai waved towards the Deep Sea Abomination Ship. In an instant, a blue streak of light, having received the instruction, swooped down towards the Deep Sea Abomination Ship. Blue cold flames erupted like springs, launching fire bombs at the Deep Sea Abomination Ship with a thunderous roar that seemed to tear the sky apart.

"Boom boom boom!" Blue flames engulfed the hull of the deep-sea amphibious ships. The formed hulls of the deep-sea amphibious ships were completely annihilated by this wave of bombardment. In an instant, black steel flew everywhere.

This battle, which could hardly be called a fight, ended quickly.

Just a few seconds later, the deep-sea ships that were attacking the village again were completely destroyed. They didn't even have a chance to put up any decent resistance before they all fell to the ground under Xiaobai's bombardment.

After the bombing was launched, the carrier-based aircraft, having confirmed that the enemy targets were dead, returned to their previous small and harmless state. Most of them flew back into the sky, leaving only a small ball of blue flame floating beside Xiaobai.

Xiaobai wasn't too concerned about the fact that her carrier-based aircraft possessed attack capabilities far exceeding those of artillery fire; she was more focused on other matters.

Looking at the village engulfed in flames, Xiaobai stood at the edge of the village, gazing blankly into the heart of the village.

—Buildings can be rebuilt, tools can be remade, but once a person dies, there is no way to bring them back to life.

"Sister Lily of the Valley... Sister Lily of the Valley?" Tears welled up in Xiaobai's eyes and streamed uncontrollably. "Sister Lily of the Valley!"

Xiaobai was actually quite concerned about Lily of the Valley's life.

She brought herself back to the village from the seaside, and she provided food and shelter for Xiaobai. When everyone thought Xiaobai was a burden, it was Linglan who stood tall and protected Xiaobai.

Although Xiaobai didn't express much about it, she knew how troublesome it would be to have an extra mouth to feed in a resource-scarce village. That's why Xiaobai was actually quite grateful to Linglan for extending a helping hand to her without any reservations.

Xiao Bai looked at the flames in a panic, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

The timing of this attack by the Abyssal Fleet was almost unbelievable, occurring precisely when Xiaobai left. Looking at the even more devastating bombardment than before, it's likely that these Abyssal Fleets have been wreaking havoc for quite some time.

Linglan was just working at the door; what if she gets caught in the crossfire?

How could such a good person die?

"..." Xiaobai wanted to shout something, but when she opened her mouth, she felt something stuck in her throat, making her unable to make any sound, only tears kept flowing.

"Huh? Are you calling me?" Just then, not far from Xiaobai, Lily of the Valley, who was holding two branches to pretend to be a weed, suddenly stood up from the bushes.

"Ah!" Linglan's appearance was so sudden that Xiaobai almost couldn't catch her breath and collapsed to the ground with a thud. She looked at Linglan in shock.

"Hahaha..." Linglan seemed to have been paying attention to Xiaobai as well. She scratched her cheek with one finger, a little embarrassed, her face slightly flushed. "I was also considering when to appear, but I didn't expect you to react like this, Lu Lin. I was a little startled... Hahaha..."

Xiao Bai blinked as she looked at Lily of the Valley.

Linglan maintained an awkward smile as she looked at Xiaobai. After a short while, she withdrew her hand and said, "Anyway, I'm fine."

"...Is everyone alright?" Xiaobai quickly wiped away the tears on her face and asked Linglan.

"It's nothing. I've been attacked by the deep sea so many times, dodging is just a daily routine for me." Linglan chuckled. Just then, several rows of people suddenly emerged from the bushes beside her, each of them looking at Xiaobai with a rather peculiar expression.

"???" Xiaobai stared in shock at the group of villagers she hadn't noticed at all.

As expected of humans from a bygone era, their ability to blend in with nature and evade disasters is simply top-notch. Little White had just run out of this clump of grass, yet he hadn't noticed at all that a bunch of people were hiding inside.

Eh?

Xiao Bai's face slowly turned red.

Doesn't that mean my entire performance was seen?

Xiao Bai's face slowly started to burn again.

"Cough cough cough... Anyway, thank you for your concern." Lily of the Valley flicked the branch in her hand to the ground and coughed lightly. "Cough cough... um, um, that's it."

Even Linglan's pretty face, which she prided herself on for being shameless, blushed a little after seeing Xiaobai's performance.

Xiao Bai's gaze towards Linglan slowly turned into a mosquito coil shape. Her mouth opened and closed, looking at Linglan and the villagers around her. Finally, Xiao Bai let out a mournful cry like a small animal, covered her face, and collapsed to the ground.

—If there were a hole in the ground, Xiaobai would even want to crawl into it now and never come out again.

"That Lu Lin..."

"Ugh ugh ugh ah ah ah ugh ...

"..." Seeing Xiaobai like this, Linglan could only force a smile.

Suzuran used to think that Shiro might be the cold-hearted type. When living with her, she always felt that Shiro was a bit slow to react in various ways, which made Suzuran feel a little disappointed. But now it seems that Shiro might just be the type who is not good at expressing his feelings.

So Lily of the Valley was still somewhat caught off guard and moved.

But now is not the time to think about this. Linglan quickly shook her head and looked at Xiaobai.

"Lu Lin."

"..." Little White pitifully raised its head from the ground.

"What's that flying next to you?" Linglan pointed to Xiaobai's side and asked slowly.

"Beside you?" Xiaobai was stunned. She looked in the direction Linglan was pointing and found that Linglan was staring curiously at the carrier-based aircraft floating beside her.

Although it's called a carrier-based aircraft, it actually looks more like a small, burning blue fireball, which is surprisingly cute.

To Linglan and the onlookers, it was precisely this adorable little blue fireball that had been beside Xiaobai just moments before.

It soared into the sky and then rained down a barrage of bombs, blasting the once-invincible deep-sea amphibious ship into dust.

This fireball, which seemed like a savior, was so magical that it shocked all the villagers, led by Suzuran.

Just now, it was because Xiaobai released those few balls of flame that Linglan did not come out to call for Xiaobai immediately. Instead, she watched from the grass as Xiaobai used these small fireballs, which looked like toys, to crush the Deep Sea Ship into rubble like ants.

"Uh..." Xiaobai looked at the carrier-based aircraft floating beside her and swallowed hard. "That...this is...it's a firefly!"

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he looked at Linglan with an expression that suggested he was trying to get away with it.

Lily of the Valley silently watched Little White.

“…Okay, this is…a carrier-based aircraft.” Xiaobai lost her nerve in the eye contact with Linglan, and finally decided to give up lying.

As expected, Xiao Bai has no talent for deception. Anyway, as mentioned before, Xiao Bai doesn't particularly care about his identity being exposed, so it would be better for him to just admit it directly.

"Carrier-based aircraft?" Linglan murmured, looking at the blue fireball floating beside Xiaobai. "...Was it this thing that killed Shenhai just now?"

"Hmm..." Caught red-handed, Xiaobai could only nod.

"So, does that mean you killed those deep-sea creatures yesterday too?"

“…Hmm.” Xiaobai replied with her head down.

Linglan stared blankly at Xiaobai, and slowly she recalled her conversation with Xiaobai.

She recalled Xiaobai's reaction when she asked him if he knew anything about deep-sea technology.
