Elder brother's garrison

As Xiaobai moved further away, Montana's figure gradually blurred in layers of black mist.

Little White emerged from the depths of the sea.

Beyond the layers of black fog, the moon in the sky was exceptionally clear.

"Sigh... I've really been through a lot tonight," Xiaobai said, touching her warm chest.

"I really don't know whether to call you stupid or carefree."

Just then, a clear, cold voice came from beside Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai shuddered and looked behind him in surprise.

"Huh? Deep Sea Will! You've come out again!"

Behind Xiaobai, the Deep Sea Will, transformed into a spiritual form, floated in mid-air. She lazily leaned against the air sofa, her arms wrapped around her chest, looking at Xiaobai with a rather helpless gaze.

"I've always been here, so I haven't gone back."

"Deep Sea Will...you, why haven't you said anything if you're here..."

"Who knows?" The will of the deep sea turned around in mid-air, its back to Little White. "Maybe someone doesn't welcome me. After all, when they saw that I had no effect, they simply squeezed me out of their body."

The voice of the will of the deep sea was extremely faint.

But when it reached Xiaobai's ears, it suddenly increased Xiaobai's pressure.

Xiaobai looked awkwardly at the back of the Deep Sea Will, and quickly walked forward to get closer to it.

“Deep Sea Will… I’m so sorry… I, I didn’t mean to…” Xiaobai clasped her hands together, sincerely apologizing to the Deep Sea Will. “Just now… I didn’t mean to push you out either, it’s just… the situation was too urgent at the time, I was just thinking about stopping the Deep Sea Killer as quickly as possible, and then somehow I ran back into my body! That’s really it! I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry… You’re my Deep Sea Will! How could I push you out on my own! I wish you could come out and talk to me more, that’s really it…”

Xiao Bai desperately apologized to the back of the Deep Sea Will.

Xiao Bai's apology lasted for a full three minutes before the Deep Sea Will slowly turned back to its body.

"Let's just assume you're telling the truth," Deep Sea Will said to Little White, arms crossed.

"Hehe, the Will of the Deep Sea is the best!" Little White raised his hand and hugged the phantom of the Will of the Deep Sea.

Then Little White passed through the shadow of the Deep Sea Will and plunged onto the water's surface.

"I've told you so many times, I'm a spirit without a physical body now, so there's no use in you hugging me." The Will of the Deep Sea said, looking at Little White splashing on the water's surface. "Aren't you hyperthymesia? How come you didn't even remember this?"

"Hehe, it's a habit, a habit..." Xiaobai scratched his head, patted his butt sheepishly, and slowly got up. "Ah... speaking of which, Deep Sea Will, what did you say when we just left the depths of the sea?"

"Are you referring to the time I called you stupid?"

"This is it."

"That's obviously stupid."

"What's wrong..."

“Even if the Deepsea Killer jumped out to protect you on its own initiative, it’s undeniable that it slit Montana’s throat and nearly took her life,” the Deepsea Will said to Little White. “Given this situation, even if you didn’t win, it was still a game with a huge advantage. How could you say you wanted to admit defeat?”

"Uh... this, this isn't..." Xiaobai was embarrassed by what the Deep Sea Will said and kept lowering his head. "Because the Deep Sea Will almost killed Montana... I really didn't want to see that happen... so... so... and! Montana was almost killed by me just now. Most people would be terrified in a situation like this, and for me to talk to her about winning against her at a time like this feels too inhumane..."

“Nonsense.” The Will of the Deep Sea said without wavering.

"Uh...yes, I'm sorry..." Xiaobai lowered her head, looking ashamed.

"...However, since it's already happened, there's nothing we can do about it." Deep Sea Will shook his head. "If you like to chat with her more and enjoy the process of raising her favorability, then consider it your personal hobby. Anyway, we've already witnessed Montana's strength. Even I find it troublesome to deal with a ship girl of her caliber, so she's definitely not at the level that the other admirals in Chapter 8 can defeat. Leaving her on the open sea doesn't pose any risk of someone else getting there first."

"..." The young man blushed.

"I'm tired, I'm going back." The will of the deep sea approached Little White. "Give me control of your body, and I'll take you away from the section of road near the entrance to the 8-4 sea area."

"Deep Sea Will." Little White looked up, pursed her lips, and said to the Deep Sea Will, "Thank you for tonight...."

"Humph."

A clear, crisp sound rang out in the darkness.

The will of the deep sea merged into Xiaobai's body.

……

Deep in the sea.

After seeing Little White off, Montana withdrew his hand, touched the gauze on his neck, and his eyes flickered.

“Pachina…”

"Hehe... this name must be a pseudonym."

Montana gently swept his fingers across his throat, a slow smile appearing on his lips.

"The ship girls of this era are really amazing."

"I thought it would be a boring trip, but it turned out to be surprisingly exciting."

"Ah...ah..."

"My body is getting uncontrollably hot..."

Montana muttered to himself, his eyes gradually brightening.

Just then, a series of rumbling sounds came from the sea behind Montana.

Montana turned around and saw that the once calm waters had once again formed a huge whirlpool. A colossal deep-sea behemoth, as tall as a skyscraper, led a large deep-sea fleet and emerged from the seabed, roaring angrily at Montana.

Awooooo

The loud shouts stirred up the entire body of water.

"Huh? The deep-sea boss appeared so quickly this time?" Montana muttered to herself. "Oh...right, it's probably because Patchina manipulated a lot of deep-sea energy when she was fighting me, which made the thin deep-sea energy here active and gave birth to the deep-sea boss ahead of time...This is really, really...the ship girl with amazing methods."

As Montana spoke, he walked toward the deep-sea behemoth.

As Montana drew closer, the light in her eyes grew increasingly intense.

"I can't wait... for the battle!!"

Montana transformed into a streak of light and charged toward the giant sea monster.

In an instant, the roar of the cannons and the wailing of the deep sea echoed endlessly across the surface of the ocean.

……

Just ten minutes later.

Another massive mountain of corpses, composed of deep-sea debris, has appeared in the depths of the ocean.

Montana sat atop the mountain of corpses, her legs dangling in the air, lying amidst the wreckage, her hands outstretched towards the bright moon.

"Sigh... It ended too easily again. This level of battle wasn't even a warm-up..."

“Pachina…”

“Pachina…hehe…”

"I actually had the audacity to agree to her request to tie with me."

"...I clearly lost terribly..."

"Haha... However, I really want to have a good fight with her when she's at her peak, so let me indulge myself a little before that happens."

"This era is truly full of surprises."

"Let me be a little... willful."

Chapter 2962 Nanny Er

When Xiaobai left the 8-4 sea area, the entrance to the sea area was still guarded by ship girls from the Admiral's Guild, who patrolled closely.

Even though it was late at night, these ship girls did not slack off at all while on patrol.

Xiaobai huddled on the beach, gazing at the patrolling ship girls in the distance. She couldn't help but admire the dedication of the ship girls from the Admiral's Guild. Then, she closed her eyes and returned control of her body to the Will of the Deep Sea.

……

The snow-white figure moved nimbly and gracefully on the roof beams, as if flying swiftly through the night.

The will of the deep sea found a quiet, narrow alley and gently guided Little White back to the ground.

"This should be fine. I'll head back now."

After speaking a simple sentence to the air, the Deep Sea Will handed over control of the body to Xiaobai, and then transformed into a pure spiritual force and shrank back into Xiaobai's body.

"Alas, the will of the deep sea, wait..."

Xiao Bai, back in her body, had just raised her hand and called out, but before she could finish speaking, the will of the deep sea had completely disappeared from her side.

Feeling the touch of the Deep Sea Will returning to the spiritual world, Xiaobai touched his chest with a sense of loss.

"Sigh... I wanted to chat with the Deep Sea Will a little longer..." Xiaobai looked at her palm with some complicated feelings and murmured regretfully, "There's still a long time tonight, is the Deep Sea Will busy with something lately...? Why does it always come back so quickly every time..."

After talking to himself, Xiaobai put down his hand and looked around.

The Deep Sea Will chose a landing spot that wasn't too remote; it was in the central area of ​​the chapter city, only a short walk of about ten minutes from the temporary garrison.

Xiao Bai looked up at the sky again.

Above the sky, the moon was like a crystal millstone, large and round.

In the moonlight, one could occasionally see several ship girls chasing each other as they flashed past.

"It's so lively."

Xiao Bai sighed.

Xiaobai turned her gaze away from the sky, muttered to herself, and walked out of the alleyway.

Outside the alley are streets.

The street was very quiet and wide, and most of the buildings along the road were dark, except for the 24-hour convenience stores, which were brightly lit and stood out in the darkness.

Xiao Bai lingered in front of the convenience store for a while, then subconsciously went inside.

As soon as Xiaobai entered the convenience store, she saw a large group of colorful ship girls chatting and complaining to each other while holding instant noodles in the self-service area.

"Sigh... That's why my admiral is so difficult to deal with."

A ship girl was holding a bowl of instant noodles, her face full of trouble.

"They sent me out late at night to gather information about salvaging ship girls, saying I wouldn't be allowed back until dawn. This counts as overtime, right? Definitely overtime..."

"Did your admiral pay you overtime?"

"I didn't give it to you."

"This is exploitation, blatant exploitation!"

"No, the admiral said he would marry me once I find valuable information."

"What kind of trash is this?"

"That's how it is for admirals, mine is too." Another ship girl patted the complaining ship girl on the shoulder. "Seriously, my admiral is ranked over a thousandth in the world. Even if he finds information about salvaging ship girls, what can he do... In the end, salvaging ship girls, which are special ship girls that rely on combat power, is still reserved for the top 100 admirals, right?"

"I heard that if you win a battle, you can bring the ship girl back to the naval base?"

"Yes."

"The salvaged ship girls aren't necessarily very strong."

"That's not right. Among the three special ship girls, the salvage ship girl must be the strongest in combat. Remember the ship girl tournament held on the beach before? One construction ship girl made all the admirals in Chapter 8 cry out in pain. The salvage ship girl can only be stronger than her, not weaker."

"Hey……"

"However, speaking of which, I haven't found much useful information about salvaging ship girls..."

"Sigh, yes..."

The ship girls sighed in unison as they finished speaking, then picked up their instant noodle bowls and slurped a mouthful.

Slurp slurp slurp...

The ship girls put down their bowls.

"Speaking of which, the entrance to the 8-4 sea area has been sealed off by the Admiral's Guild."

"8-4?"

"Yes, I just went over there too. But when I tried to get closer, I was stopped by the ship girl staff there."

"The Admiral's Guild has made a move? That's not a normal situation."

"Could it be that the salvageable ship girl has appeared in area 8-4?"
