Elder brother's garrison

Immediately following, as the walls disintegrated, a massive main cannon, brimming with astonishing energy, slowly emerged from the land-based ship's hull, its muzzle flashing with a blinding light that crackled like the sun, pointing high into the sky.

Chapter 3586 Finding the Target

Along with the walls of the land-based ship equipment, the sealing effect on the ship girl aura emanating from Iowa was also lifted.

The moment the land-based ship equipment was deployed, the ship girl aura emanating from Iowa dissipated into the entire dark waters.

However... even though the ship girl's aura suddenly appeared, the abyssal ships in the dark waters did not make any commotion. The abyssal ships, densely packed like locusts from all directions, just stared blankly at the land-based ship equipment surrounded by them, at the huge main cannon that emerged from the land-based ship equipment, flashing with the light of the sun, emitting a piercing sound effect, and pointing far into the sky.

But... what is it?

This is... the main gun?

Or a torpedo launcher?

The deep-sea amphibious ships had no thoughts. Before evolving into a more advanced form, they only had the most basic killing instincts. Even so, the deep-sea amphibious ships present were dumbfounded, staring blankly at this strange weapon that was beyond their comprehension.

then.

The deep-sea amphibious ships saw a snow-white figure slowly raise her arm, and a slender, white finger slid down in front of her like a guide line.

"I remember... this is how Deep Sea Will was used back then..."

Xiao Bai murmured softly, his fingers slowly sliding down from the sky, then aimed at the deep-sea amphibious army in front of him and flicked them lightly in a direction to his side.

"Hey----"

Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!

As Xiaobai moved, the main guns standing on the land-based ship's hull emitted dazzling laser beams.

The laser camera shot into the sky in an instant, piercing through the thick clouds and forming a blazing beam of light in the dark sea.

Immediately afterwards, the main guns of the land-based ships, like controllable lightsabers, slowly slid down toward the deep-sea ships. The huge beams of light slashed down like blazing blades, and then circled around the spot at high speed!

Buzz—! ! !

A strange sound flashed by.

The main guns mounted on the land-based ship were subsequently shut down.

As the blazing beam of light dissipated, a scorching, acrid smell began to emanate from the dark sea.

The deep-sea forces surrounding the land-based ship remained in a dense formation, but as the beam of light sliced ​​through them, a thick, molten iron-like cutting line appeared in the center of their bodies.

The bodies of the deep-sea amphibious ships began to split in two, sliding down while still covered in molten iron.

Blah blah blah...

The carrier-based aircraft fell onto the water like rain.

Boom boom boom...

The massive, hill-like deep-sea battleships were also split in two and fell into the water.

The upper bodies of the deep-sea amphibious ships steamed the water surface to a boiling temperature in the high temperature.

Iowa sat in his original spot, eyes wide open, watching the deep-sea army split in two like dominoes and fall into the water.

One strike...instant kill?

Is this the power of the Admiral's laser cannon?

Iowa was stunned for a moment before she looked away and glanced up at the laser main cannon that was only a wall away from her.

The beam of light just appeared less than half a meter above Iowa's head.

It's hard to imagine that after such a powerful weapon was activated, Iowa, who was so close to it, didn't show any signs of burning or other damage.

Iowa turned her gaze back to Little White.

Xiaobai stood on the land-based ship platform, the sea breeze ruffling her white hair. She withdrew her finger that had been glancing to the side, and gently blew a breath towards her lips.

"Finished—call it a day!"

Xiao Bai turned her head and smiled shyly at Iahua.

"Iowa, you see, you don't need to lift a finger, right?"

"...What the admiral said is indeed true."

Looking at Xiaobai's smile, Iowa's eyes revealed a look of intoxication. She parted her red lips slightly and whispered to Xiaobai.

What a powerful admiral...

So many deep-sea amphibious ships are nothing more than a matter of physical strength that the admiral could easily deal with by simply moving his fingers.

what……

The admiral is really powerful.

Compared to the admiral, I'm probably the weak girl...

As Iowa pondered, his gaze grew increasingly lost in thought.

Iowa just likes strong women.

Although not as cold as I remembered, the Admiral's back view was as beautiful, invincible, and unbeatable as ever...

Iohua looked at Xiaobai, her cheeks suddenly flushed for some reason, her gaze was deep, her eyelids were slightly narrowed, and her breathing was rapid.

Iowa clasped her arms around her chest and gently rubbed her body against the seat, suppressing the sensation.

what……

so good.

Iowa really enjoys the feeling of being protected.

She also enjoyed the feeling of being intimidated by the powerful force that belonged only to the admiral.

Iowa wanted to rescue the ship girls quickly so she could go home with the admiral.

"Admiral...we...we should go find the missing ship girls." Iowa suppressed the pounding in her chest, exhaled a breath of hot air, and said softly.

"Yeah, we've cleaned this place up too, so no one can bother us while we search for the ship girls." Xiaobai nodded. She was about to say something when she suddenly saw Iowa looking down, rubbing her legs as if she was holding back something. "...Iowa? What's wrong? Do you need to go to the toilet?"

“…No, that’s not true.” Iowa raised her head, breathed a sigh of relief at Xiaobai, and said with a slightly flushed face, “I’m just looking forward to what happens next.”

“Oh, that’s true.” Xiaobai nodded and said, “If we find the missing ship girl directly in the B12 area, then I’ll consider it a win of our bet.”

"Well, when the time comes... I'll owe the Admiral a wish."

Xiaobai smiled at Iowa, then looked back at the deep-sea debris in the ocean.

Interestingly, the deep-sea fog here was originally very eerie and dark, but after Xiaobai's laser cannon shot cut through and wiped out the deep-sea creatures in this area, the surrounding deep-sea fog quickly dissipated and began to change back to the level of ordinary deep-sea waters.

With so much deep-sea debris laid out here, considering the shipments from Chapter 8, there must be several hundred pieces of deep-sea metal.

Unfortunately, the current situation doesn't allow Xiaobai to collect the deep-sea metals one by one.

We can only ask the search and rescue team to collect some of the items when they pass by and bring them back to the guild.

Xiao Bai murmured to himself, then closed his eyes. The Admiral's Network then spread out, extending downwards into the sea to explore.

Generally speaking, ship girls whose ship equipment is heavily damaged will be protected by the damage field for 24 hours after entering the damage protection zone, and their bodies will be immune to any form of physical damage.

Therefore, when deep-sea ships encounter heavily damaged ship girls, their usual action is to drag the defenseless ship girls to the bottom of the sea. Only after 24 hours have passed and the heavy damage field surrounding them has dissipated will the ship girls' lives truly be in danger, with little chance of survival.

So, in other words...

As long as Xiaobai uses the Admiral Network to search the seabed, he can determine whether the missing ship girls are here.

Xiaobai closed her eyes and used the Admiral's Network to search around. After a short while, she withdrew her gaze, sighed, and returned to Iowa's side.

"Admiral, did you not find it?" Iowa asked as he saw Xiaobai sit back down in his seat with a disappointed expression.

“Yes, I just checked, and there are no ship girls reacting to the seabed here.” Xiaobai shook her head, and the surrounding land-based ship equipment rose up again, enveloping the two of them. “Time to go to the next sea area.”

What should we do with the deep-sea debris here?

"Leave it there, I'll have the search and rescue team take it back later."

"Ah."

Xiaobai and Iowa had a brief conversation. The small boat, transformed from the land-based ship equipment, rode the waves and left the B12 sea area, speeding towards the next sea area.

The three sea areas that Xiaobai and Iowa divided are getting closer and closer to the depths of the sea, according to the changes in their numbers and quantities.

Xiao Bai arrived at the second dangerous sea area using almost the same method, cleared out the deep-sea mobs entrenched there, and then searched the seabed, only to find nothing.

A ring of intense light emanated from the dark, gloomy sea, spreading far and wide in all directions.

After a while, the land-based ship set sail from the sea and headed towards deeper waters.

"Admiral, the next sea area will be the last one." Sitting in the land-based ship's equipment, Iowa reminded Xiaobai.

"Yes, this is the last one." Xiaobai covered her mouth and nodded.

After failing to find the missing ship girl in two consecutive sea areas, even a novice like me started to feel a little nervous.

Xiao Bai wasn't worried about losing his bet with Iowa.

In reality, winning or losing in these small bets is just a side thing; whether he wins or loses, Xiaobai doesn't really care.

However... compared to the bet, Xiaobai is still a little worried about the safety of the missing ship girls.

Whatever the outcome of their bet, if the missing ship girls aren't found in the third sea area, then things could get a bit complicated...

Amidst Xiaobai's anxious heart, the land-based ship equipment swiftly arrived at the third dangerous sea area.

The moment Xiaobai entered the dangerous sea area, the surrounding deep-sea mist rose up. As soon as Xiaobai reached the surface, her eyes subconsciously looked at the sea in front of the ship's equipment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Oh!

This time it's different!

To Xiaobai's delight, she noticed some barely perceptible white metal fragments floating on the surface of this third sea area.

These metal fragments exuded a faint aura of ship girls, and were warm to the touch, suggesting they had only recently fallen.

"Sure enough, this is the place where that anti-submarine ship girl squad went missing!"

Xiao Bai stood up directly from inside the ship's equipment.

"Quickly, after we destroy this deep-sea area, those ship girls should be underwater..."

As Xiaobai spoke, he made a gesture as if to activate the laser cannon mounted on the land-based ship.

But... just as Xiaobai was about to speed up the rescue, she looked left and right in the water, suddenly felt confused, and froze on the spot.

"Hey...wait a minute..."

It was only then that Xiaobai realized something.

That is……

In this third dangerous sea area, everything was quiet and the surface of the water was almost undisturbed... Although it was shrouded in mist, it seemed that... there was no deep sea.

This is an empty sea.

Chapter 3587 The Rescuers

Land-based shipboard equipment is like a lone boat in the night, floating on dark, secluded, and dangerous waters.

In this last dangerous sea area, the water was extremely calm, and there was no sound of wind from the thick black fog that surrounded it. Only the silent aura of the deep sea circulated and drifted throughout the entire sea area. No other signs of life could be detected, and there was not even the slightest ripple on the water. It was as if this sea area had suddenly "died" at some point.

After Xiaobai deployed the land-based ship equipment and the armored walls fell down, she stood on the deck of the land-based ship equipment, gazing intently at the surrounding water.

The visibility in this dangerous sea area is relatively open.

Behind Xiaobai, Iowa slowly got up, observing her surroundings as she walked to her side.

"Admiral, those metal fragments floating over there, those must be traces left by the missing ship girls, right?"

Iowa stopped beside Xiaobai, pointed to the metal fragments floating on the water not far away, and asked in a low voice.

"Well, that should be it."

Xiaobai nodded, jumped off the land-based ship equipment, came to the water's surface, bent down and picked up the ship girl's ship equipment fragments floating on the water.

The so-called ship equipment fragments of ship girls... are actually just a special type of metal with a density much greater than water. Logically speaking, such a massive object falling into the sea would usually sink directly to the bottom. However, the reason why these ship equipment fragments did not sink to the bottom immediately after falling is similar to how deep-sea wreckage floats on the surface of the water—it's simple, because the power contained within them that allows ship girls or deep-sea creatures to stand on the water's surface has not yet dissipated after leaving the original body.

These ship equipment fragments vary in size, style, and color.

The larger pieces are about half the size of Shiro's body, and their shapes are still vaguely recognizable as coming from a part of a deck on the ship girl's equipment. The smaller pieces scattered nearby are almost unrecognizable, and are generally only about half the size of Shiro's palm.

Xiao Bai held the small fragment in his hand and observed it for a while.
