Elder brother's garrison

The walkthrough for Chapter 8 is about humanity's most foolish decision.

Mu Chenglin opened his mouth, as if the negative emotions in his chest had finally found an outlet, wanting to convey his innermost thoughts to Xiaobai in front of him.

But for some reason, looking at Xiaobai's appearance, Mu Chenglin was speechless. He just stared blankly at Xiaobai, and for a moment he felt dizzy.

Admiral Lu Lin... seems to be only sixteen years old this year.

She is so young.

Such a young...admiral.

When I was sixteen, I was still studying at the Naval Academy. At that time, I hadn't even built a single ship girl of my own. Establishing a naval base, leading ship girls to reclaim wasteland, defeating the Abyssal Fleet with my strength, silencing the old fogies who opposed me, and becoming an outstanding talent like the protagonist in a novel were things that could only be done in my imagination.

However, at the age of sixteen, Admiral Lu Lin took over the mess of the world's number one naval base and rebuilt this once strongest naval base, which was now on the verge of collapse. With an iron fist, with strength, and with achievements, she once again spread her fame, which had been dormant for several years, to every corner of the naval world.

At sixteen... she truly shouldered her responsibilities, even fighting for the continuation of humanity...

How could I...

How do you speak your mind to someone like that?

Even if I can't help her...

At least don't hold others back!

Mu Chenglin trembled as he clenched his teeth, large drops of blood seeping from his tightly clenched fists. Tears, a mixture of emotions he couldn't quite define, streamed down his face along with cold sweat.

"Master Mu! You're bleeding!"

"It's alright, I'm fine... Thanks to Admiral Lu Lin, I've calmed down."

"Huh? My good fortune??"

Mu Chenglin raised his head, wiped the sweat from his face with his blood-stained hands, and then looked at Xiaobai, who was taking out toilet paper for him, with a cold and determined gaze.

"Admiral Lu Lin, I want to tell you the truth."

"Huh? What truth?" Xiaobai stood there, holding the toilet paper, stunned.

"All nine deep-sea outposts under my command have now been attacked by deep-sea deities, and the seventh and ninth squadrons have even been attacked simultaneously by multiple deep-sea deities. To be honest, the pressure of the battle is now far greater than we discussed before," Mu Chenglin said. "Especially now that I have command of all nine fleets, at such a great distance, my admiral network capacity is no longer sufficient to transmit images and sound, and can only allow the fleet leaders to transmit text. The battles that follow will be exceptionally arduous for me."

At this point, Mu Chenglin gritted his teeth.

"But! I will absolutely buy enough time for everyone in the newbie naval base! At all costs, by any means necessary! I will fight for it! Even if it costs me my life, I will fight for it! That's all!!"

After saying these words, Mu Chenglin never looked at Xiaobai again.

Mu Chenglin turned around and stared intently at the map in front of him, his spiritual power soaring rapidly under the influence of a strong belief.

"Sorry, I just went to get a glass of water and couldn't give instructions immediately. I'm back."

"The battle is now officially underway!"

"All teams, report your battle losses!"

"Squadron 1, Squadron 3, Squadron 4, Squadron 6, redeploy all destroyers to support Squadron 7! Squadron 9, maintain distance. Squadrons 1 and 3, redeploy the aircraft carrier to support Squadron 8. Squadron 5, send any surplus combat power to Squadron 9! Personnel changes are temporarily suspended. Now, begin tactical command! Squadron 9, avoid direct confrontation as much as possible, report the battle situation, and await support from other squadrons!"

"..."

Mu Chenglin was completely focused on the map, rattling off command after command in rapid succession. Each time he spoke, the admiral network on his body would fluctuate violently.

The ship girl next to Mu Chenglin quickly brought him tactical tools.

For a moment, only the hurried footsteps of the ship girls and the incessant commands issued by Mu Chenglin could be heard in the command post.

Inside the command post, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Xiaobai.

An atmosphere of tension and efficiency permeated the entire command post.

Under the cover of the ship girls' movements, Shiro quietly jumped off the chair.

Xiao Bai, holding onto the chair in the commander's seat, watched as Mu Chenglin and the Mu family ship girls, who hadn't noticed her departure at all, silently let go of her hand and walked towards the back door of the command post.

Chapter 2222 The Rookie Town Guardian's Guest

As soon as Xiaobai pushed open the back door of the temporary command post a crack, a strong wind immediately rushed in.

Xiao Bai, holding onto the heavy iron door, took one last look at the bustling command post before slipping out through the crack in the door and carefully closing the back door.

Outside the command post, the once crowded gravel beach has become extremely deserted after the expedition. Now, only a few ship girls on guard are still patrolling the entire gravel beach.

Xiao Bai dusted himself off and walked towards a corner of the pebble beach.

"Acting Admiral! Do you need any help?"

Xiaobai's actions quickly attracted the attention of the lookout ship girls, and one of the ship girls from Haoding Garrison soon arrived in front of Xiaobai.

"I'm fine, I just came out for a walk."

"It's time to set off. To ensure your safety, Acting Admiral, I need to accompany you throughout the entire process..."

"I need to pee."

"Uh……"

"Do I have to pay for this too?" Xiaobai said, her cheek puffing out slightly on one side.

"I...I'm so sorry..." The ship girl from Haoding Naval Base stared blankly at Xiaobai for a moment, then quickly took two steps back and bowed to Xiaobai. "I'm very sorry!"

Xiao Bai's puffed-out cheeks deflated.

Xiaobai stepped forward and patted the ship girl on the lower back, then walked alone to the back of the gravel beach.

The lookout and patrolling ship girls did not give chase.

Behind the gravel beach are many natural valleys. As soon as Xiaobai entered one of the valleys, a tall and voluptuous woman in a black robe appeared in front of him.

The woman in black robes seemed to have been waiting for Xiaobai for a long time. As soon as she saw Xiaobai, she bowed slightly to him.

"Admiral."

"Super Yamato, sorry to keep you waiting." Xiaobai smiled slightly at the woman in front of him. "You weren't spotted by the carrier-based aircraft when you arrived, were you?"

"I'm very careful, there shouldn't be any."

"Okay, let's go then."

"As ordered."

After a brief exchange, Super Big raised his hand and summoned a black vortex.

Xiaobai and Chaodahe have both entered the black vortex.

Inside the black vortex.

Xiaobai and Chaoda walked through the wormhole corridor.

As Chao Da walked along, she turned her head to look at Xiao Bai's expression, her expression slightly puzzled.

"Admiral..."

"Ok?"

Your expression... is a little different.

"Is it that obvious?" Xiaobai stopped and touched her cheek.

"It's not that obvious... but... you can tell." Chao Yamato shook his head, then asked with concern, "What happened?"

"Nothing really happened." Xiaobai smiled, then sighed softly and said apologetically, "It's just... seeing how hard the Mu family head was fighting, I felt like he went a bit too far in bullying them."

"Before you lie to others, you have to lie to yourself first," Chao Yahe said with a wink.

"You're right." Xiaobai patted her cheeks, rubbed her face, and then smiled at Chaoda. "Can you still tell now?"

"I can't tell." Chao Yahe nodded slightly. She looked at the colorful wall to the side, then gently waved her hand, and a black vortex appeared on the wall of the wormhole. "Admiral, we've arrived."

"Okay, let's go."

Xiaobai responded and, together with Chaodahe, stepped towards the black vortex.

The moment you step out of the black vortex, the first thing you feel is a sense of disorientation as you travel through space, followed by a massive, rich aura of the deep sea.

This is the deepest part of Chapter Eight, the deep-sea city.

It is also the deep-sea outpost under the jurisdiction of the newbie naval base.

The teleportation point that Super Large used this time is the one that Xiao Bai left at his residence when he was an undercover agent in the deep-sea city.

As Xiaobai and Chaodahe stepped out of the vortex portal, before they could even catch their breath, a familiar commotion entered her ears.

Little White listened intently.

"Huh, what are Yamato and the others saying?" Shiro quickly recognized Deep Sea Yamato's voice from the noisy sounds. She exchanged a glance with Super Yamato beside her, and the two of them headed downstairs.

Xiao Bai's former residence was unusually noisy at this moment.

When Xiaobai and Chao Yamato walked into the lobby on the first floor, the lobby was full of people. The ship girls of the new naval base were sitting in the lobby with cushions, chatting and laughing. In particular, in the center of the lobby, Shenhai Yamato was waving her hands and protesting to Lexington in front of her with tears in her eyes.

"This is unreasonable! This is unreasonable! I protest! I want to get out too! It's been so many years since I've fought a fleet! Staying here is incredibly boring—it's absolutely boring!"

Yamato Shokami twisted her body in protest. Because they were in a deep-sea base, she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, which she usually used to shield herself from the aura of the deep sea, on her finger. Instead, it was hanging from her chest on a thin thread, and the shiny ring swayed back and forth with her movements, attracting a lot of attention. The thick aura of the deep sea also spread with her movements, and for a moment, it became the center of the aura of the deep sea in the hall.

“There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, you used to show up in front of human fleets quite often, didn’t you, Yamato?” Lexington, standing in front of Deep Sea Yamato, seemed completely oblivious to the astonishing abyssal power in front of her. She spoke with a smile, holding up her coffee cup and sipping it calmly. “If you, Yamato, were to go and become a deep-sea outpost, and the sisters from Haoding Naval Base and the Mu family fleet recognized you, it could cause unnecessary trouble.”

"Then I'll just cover my face!"

"Yamato, you should know that when I said I recognized you, I didn't mean your appearance, right?"

"Damn it, damn it! I know! It's this thing! I hate it so much—" Deep Sea Yamato raised his head indignantly, and purple lightning crackled all around him.

Lexington sat down next to Yamato Abyss. Even though the lightning was about to touch her cheek, it didn't disturb her calm expression. Lexington just sipped her coffee and reminded her, "Yamato, there are still a lot of people here. Be careful not to hurt your new friend."

The new friend Lexington was referring to was not the Deepsea Dean, nor the rookie naval ship girl, but rather the two tense-looking ship girls from the Haoding Naval Base who were standing next to Deepsea Yamato and Lexington.

The two ship girls trembled as they clutched their steaming coffee cups, like two frightened little hamsters, and didn't dare to look up for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, sisters. We won't hurt you." Lexington put down her coffee cup and said with a smile to the two ship girls of Admiral Haoding. "You are now guests of our naval base, so relax."

Upon hearing Lexington's words, the two ship girls from Haoding Garrison trembled even more.

The two ship girls from Haoding Garrison were filled with confusion. With their limited knowledge, intelligence, and comprehension, they simply couldn't understand what was going on.

Why did I wake up in the deepest part of Chapter 8 after losing to the Deep Sea Commander? Why are the ship girls from the newbie naval base here? Why is the Deep Sea Yamato, who has been missing for ten years, here? Why are the ship girls from the newbie naval base chatting so familiarly with the Deep Sea Yamato? Why am I being treated like this? Why can the Deep Sea Yamato speak human language?

These two ship girls from Haoding Garrison had a million questions in their minds, but no one could answer them. The incongruous scene before them continued to challenge their understanding of the world.

The ship girls in the hall quickly noticed Shiro, who had returned with Super Yamato.

"Hey! Little White! You're back!"

As soon as Xiaobai entered the hall, a blond-haired guy jumped out from the crowd and clung to Xiaobai like an octopus, constantly rubbing, sniffing, and sticking to Xiaobai's body.

"Saratoga, I'm back." Little White instinctively hugged Saratoga's slender waist and smiled at the girl who was rubbing her face against his.

"Little White, I miss you!" Saratoga became even more excited upon hearing Little White's voice.

The hall was filled with a lively atmosphere. Xiaobai was too embarrassed to leave Saratoga for a moment, so he slowly moved to Lexington and Deepsea Yamato, and greeted them with a smile.

"Lexington, Yamato-neechan."

"Shiro, you're back!" As soon as Yamato saw Shiro, he immediately stood up, stopped crying and making a fuss, and stopped emitting electric shocks.

"Have the matters with Admiral Haoding and Patriarch Mu been resolved?" Lexington put down his coffee cup and asked Xiaobai with a smile.

"Yes, everything's arranged over there. Hmm... From now on, we can proceed according to Plan B." Xiaobai patted Saratoga's slender waist, then looked at the two trembling Haoding Naval Base ship girls beside her. "Hmm... Speaking of which, weren't these two unconscious before?"

"You mean them? Sigh... They were indeed unconscious, but perhaps it's due to the intuition developed from years of fighting alongside Admiral Haoding. As soon as we brought them to the deep-sea city, the rich deep-sea atmosphere seemed to stimulate them, waking them up quickly." Lexington sighed helplessly, cupping her cheeks as she said, "To be honest, it was quite a hassle to calm them down before; it took us a lot of effort."

"Uh... so it's Qi Er Shan Ling Si Jiu Qi San Shi." Xiao Bai smiled wryly, then looked down at the two ship girls from Haoding Garrison.

The two ship girls from Haoding Naval Base were holding coffee cups, nervously watching Xiaobai's feet, not daring to look up.

Xiao Bai stepped forward.

The two ship girls from Haoding Garrison immediately closed their eyes in fright.

But soon, they felt a warm touch.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. I'll take you back after all this is over," Xiaobai said gently, patting the two ship girls' heads.

"Acting...acting admiral..."

The two ship girls from Haoding Garrison slowly raised their heads, their tears of fear still wet on their faces, and looked at Xiaobai with hope.

Xiaobai smiled slightly at the two ship girls.

"Of course, I'll do some necessary tweaks to your brains before I leave." Xiaobai's smile was quite warm.
