Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai stretched out a hand to explain.

"However, very occasionally, some of the 'fish-blasting' ship girls will take the opportunity to bomb some deep-sea submarines on their way back to port as a side haul—after all, deep-sea submarines are really easy to bully. For the anti-submarine squad, dealing with deep-sea submarines doesn't take too much time. Even in night battles, deep-sea submarines won't pose much of a threat to the anti-submarine ship girls, and they won't even delay the ship girls' return to port much."

"The first anti-submarine ship girls we learned about being attacked the day before yesterday were fishing on their way back to port when they encountered that mysterious deep-sea submarine enemy."

"Oh...and what about the next day?" the pursuer asked curiously.

"The second day was even simpler. Because the sea area was blocked for a period of time, the ship girls' fishing catch was affected. In addition, the sea area was indeed rich in catches. So after the signal to return to port was sounded, some ship girls saw that the day's catch was not as good as usual, and they were reluctant to leave immediately, so they chose to stay in the sea area for a while longer," Xiaobai said. "Then... it was at this time that they were found by the mysterious deep-sea submarine enemy."

"Does the Admiral mean that no ship girls remained at sea after the return-to-port signal was sounded on the third day?" the pursuer asked.

"Yes, because of the events of the past two days, the ship girls who went to sea today were extra cautious. Therefore, when it was time to return to port, none of them chose to stay on this dangerous sea. They all packed their things and left immediately," Xiaobai said. "That's why none of the ship girls were hurt today."

"Oh..." The pursuer nodded as if he understood, "So what you're trying to say, Admiral, is that the ship girls who weren't attacked by the mysterious deep-sea submarine were ship girls who didn't attract its attention?"

“Yes, I should have thought of that earlier.” Xiaobai sighed and looked back at the sea. “The mysterious deep-sea submarine’s appearance time should be in night combat environment, and the method that attracted its attention and hostility should be the act of blasting fish itself… This is also why it only attacks anti-submarine ship girls, and the victim ship girls always appear after the Admiral’s Guild has gone off duty.”

"Oh, I see!" the pursuer exclaimed in realization. "So, according to the admiral, all we have to do is blast fish on the surface of the sea to attract the enemy submarine's attention?"

"That should be it."

"Goodness, no wonder he's the admiral, he even thought of that!"

"...Sigh, this is nothing special. I'm already pretty slow-witted. If it were Lianlian, she would probably have figured it out on the first day." Xiaobai scratched her head, looked at the water around her, and continued to ask the pursuer, "Anyway, if we want to attract the deep-sea submarine now, we'll probably have to use explosives to catch fish on the spot. Pursuer, is that okay?"

"Admiral, if you ask me about my ability to control carrier-based aircraft, I'm definitely not one of the best in our rookie naval base." Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, the Chaser stretched and yawned with confidence. "But if you ask me about my fish-blasting skills... I'm at least in the top five in our naval base!"

Finished.

After warming up, the pursuer stretched out his hand towards the sea and shook it with full confidence.

In a flash of white light, a pure black light carrier appeared behind the pursuer, and a rectangular runway resembling a shield appeared to her right.

However, the pursuer did not launch any carrier-based aircraft. She simply clenched her fist, as if she were holding onto something, stared at the sea for a while, and then, seizing the opportunity, swung her fist towards a spot on the sea.

Gudong!

A depth charge, resembling a small gasoline drum, emerged from the pursuer's hand and was dropped into the sea.

At first, the sea was still surging with waves, and everything seemed normal.

But a few seconds later, a muffled sound came from beneath the sea.

Immediately afterwards, the wreckage of a deep-sea submarine, torn to pieces, surfaced, emitting thick smoke.

"Admiral, how was my fishing technique?" The pursuer turned and said with a smile as he saw the enemy submarine surfacing.

"Such accurate anti-submarine strikes." Xiaobai clapped her hands, but after a few claps, she suddenly looked down at Sponge and said to the Chaser, "Chaser... are you now taking the initiative against the deep-sea submarines? I can sense that they no longer see you as an ally... There's an astonishing number of deep-sea submarines gathering beneath our feet."

"Admiral, rest assured, I only need to make a slight move, and that will be the limit for these deep-sea submarines in their lifetime!"

The pursuer was completely unafraid. Her eyes seemed to pierce through the sea. She squinted at the surface of the water a few times, then flicked her hands, and canister after can of depth charges flew out of her ship's rigging and sank to the surface.

A dull rumble echoed from underwater.

The deep-sea submarines that had just converged on the sea surface where Xiaobai and the pursuers were located were blasted into a rout by the pursuers' anti-submarine bombs before they even had a chance to launch an attack.

On the sea, the wreckage of deep-sea submarines floated to the surface.

The sea breeze couldn't mask the strong smell of gunpowder and burnt food for a moment.

Before long, the pursuers, without even moving, attracted all the deep-sea submarines in the surrounding waters and wiped them out.

"Phew, it's been a while since I've fished with explosives, my skills have gotten a bit rusty." The pursuer breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the deep-sea wreckage floating around him, and said to Little White with a smile, "If I warm up a bit more, I can deal with these deep-sea submarines about a quarter faster."

"Oh, oh, oh... No wonder it's a catch-up!" Little White clapped.

"You should have said you wanted to fry fish earlier. I'm not very good at other things, but I'm quite good at frying fish."

As the pursuer spoke, she crouched down among the wreckage of a nearby deep-sea submarine and easily pulled out a piece of deep-sea metal. The movement of pulling out the deep-sea metal was fluid and skillful. Even when she took the deep-sea metal out of the wreckage with her hand, there wasn't a single drop of oil or blood from the deep-sea submarine on her fair fingertips.

The pursuers tossed the deep-sea metal to Little White.

“There are still quite a few deep-sea submarines on this sea. Since we’ve come all this way, we might as well fry some fish to take back, so we won’t leave empty-handed,” the pursuer said to Xiaobai.

"Ah...ha..."

Xiao Bai caught the deep-sea metal thrown at her by her pursuer. She looked at the color of the deep-sea metal in her palm and smiled.

The deep-sea submarines on this small patch of sea were all quickly wiped out by the pursuer alone. Even if the deep-sea submarines respawn quickly, it's unlikely that new deep-sea submarines will appear here anytime soon.

Xiaobai put the deep-sea metal thrown at her by the pursuers into her ship equipment space. She continued to look at the pursuers, who were skillfully moving through the wreckage of various deep-sea submarines, the amount of deep-sea metal in her arms increasing with each movement.

Sigh... No wonder she's one of the top anti-submarine ship girls even among newbie naval bases.

The efficiency of this pursuer's anti-submarine warfare is faster than that of an entire full-strength anti-submarine squad in a typical naval base...

Xiaobai isn't an anti-submarine ship girl, so of course she couldn't understand the significance of the Pursuer's moves. But even in terms of the speed at which it sank the deep-sea submarine, the Pursuer was one of the strongest anti-submarine ship girls Xiaobai had ever seen in her life.

Little White was about to call out to the pursuers.

However, at that very moment, Xiaobai, who was about to speak, paused for a moment.

Then, Xiaobai's gaze thoughtfully drifted towards the sea not far away, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes for a moment.

In Xiaobai's perception, a lone submarine appeared out of thin air like a ghost not far below the water's surface. It was coming straight from afar, cutting through the water, heading towards the direction where the pursuers were collecting spoils.

Chapter 3610 The Roadbed is an Invincible Ground

When Xiaobai sensed that a submarine had suddenly appeared in the water beneath their feet and was heading straight for the pursuers, she immediately became alert.

The pursuer had just used her extraordinary skill in blasting fish to destroy all the deep-sea submarines in the small area of ​​water where the two were located.

Even though deep-sea submarines are revived by deep-sea energy much faster than other deep-sea ship types, it has only been a few minutes since the pursuers finished blasting the fish. There is still a long time before the deep-sea submarines are revived. Moreover, like most other deep-sea ship types, deep-sea submarines are extremely dependent on the sea area where they were born. Without being summoned by a being of the level of the Deep-Sea Dean, deep-sea submarines will never leave their own sea area to go to other waters.

In other words... the deep-sea submarine that is now heading straight for the two of them is very likely the submarine enemy that Xiaobai has been looking for these past few days!

Thinking of this, Xiaobai quickly looked at the pursuers.

The pursuer was crouching among a pile of deep-sea wreckage, immersing herself in the joy of plundering the sea, seemingly completely unaware that an enemy submarine was about to enter the danger zone not far below the surface.

"Ah... speaking of which, it seems that light carriers are not as good as destroyers and light cruisers at detecting submarines..." Xiaobai smiled wryly, and she quickly shouted loudly to the pursuers, "Pursuers! Watch out! They're coming! The enemy is coming!"

"Huh? Enemies? What enemies?" Upon hearing Xiaobai's voice, the pursuer immediately jumped up, clutching the deep-sea metal in her arms. Her red eyes glowed faintly in the darkness as she instinctively looked around at the surging waves. "Didn't I just... wow! There really are some!"

The pursuers only discovered the presence of the new submarine when the underwater submarine's reaction had already approached the danger zone.

"Wow, what a well-hidden submarine!"

The moment the pursuer sensed the submarine, she immediately reacted instinctively, as if by muscle reflex. She took two steps back while clutching the deep-sea metal in her arms, and the light carrier behind her swiftly threw two deep-sea bombs, resembling gasoline cans, onto the water's surface.

The deep-sea bomb sank rapidly underwater.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled booming sound came from beneath the water, and the churning water immediately bubbled up like a boiling pot.

The Chaser is an anti-submarine ship girl who has trained her anti-submarine capabilities to an unparalleled level. Even if it is just an anti-submarine attack that she casually launches, it is a devastating blow to submarine-type enemies.

however……

The next second, right after the pursuers' depth charges exploded.

The pursuer's eyes widened instantly.

"what?!"

The pursuer clearly felt that the reaction of the enemy submarine that had suddenly appeared was still vividly present right after the two depth charges he had dropped exploded!

It wasn't even slightly affected by its own depth charges, and it continued straight toward itself!

The pursuer was only shocked for a moment before her gaze immediately turned serious. She retreated rapidly, her light carrier hull launching depth charges into the water with a series of splashes.

The pursuers' anti-submarine attacks were interwoven and dense, perfectly positioned around them to protect their own safety, and even able to send these anti-submarine bombs in several directions to strangle the enemy submarine.

Thump thump thump gurgle...

A series of roars came from beneath the water.

In an instant, the water surface all around seemed to be boiling porridge, constantly emitting smoke and bubbles.

"Surely you can't handle this now..." The pursuer looked at the bubbling water around him, a confident expression on his face. "There aren't many submarines in the world that can enjoy this round of anti-submarine attack from me..."

The pursuer has set a goal!

Then, just as expected, right after the pursuer muttered to herself, the submarine reaction actually reappeared beneath the water around her!

The pursuer's eyes widened again in an instant!

This time, the pursuer wasn't just shocked; her expression was even somewhat bewildered.

"Huh??? This can survive??? How is that possible...? My attack just now could even take out a submarine fleet..."

The pursuer's current bewildered state was like seeing a fly floating in front of her, then pulling out her invincible, magical electric mosquito swatter and launching a fierce attack on it. However, after a violent attack of sparks and lightning, the fly actually buzzed back to her unharmed, and even gave her the middle finger!

This! This can't be right!

How can a submarine possess such exaggerated capabilities?

Even the most seasoned and knowledgeable pursuers were shattered by the shock of what they saw, their worldviews shattered and their bodies momentarily frozen in shock.

It was this momentary lapse in concentration that created a huge gap in the pursuers' attack.

The slow-moving submarine reacted as if it had detected a weakness in its pursuers. Suddenly, it accelerated and darted into the pursuers' detection range.

The next moment, two torpedoes were launched from underwater, hurtling toward the pursuers on the surface of the sea.

By the time the pursuers realized what was happening, the two torpedoes were already at her feet.

"Oh no..."

What a fast and tricky torpedo!

The pursuer's face turned pale instantly. She tried to dodge, but it was clear that the two torpedoes gave her no room to maneuver. Her heart skipped a beat, as if she could already foresee being perfectly hit by the two torpedoes in the next instant, leaving her ship's equipment severely damaged.

The pursuer instinctively closed his eyes.

boom! ! !

Sparks from the explosion, like those from a cannonball, flew up from the sea.

The dark sea seemed to be illuminated at that moment, as if a small sun briefly appeared.

Large amounts of deep-sea metal flew into the sky like a shower of flowers, then crashed into the water with a splash, creating the sound of fine raindrops.

The pursuer sat on the ground, clutching his head and closing his eyes.

Damn it... I actually got killed by a submarine...

As a sense of shame brewed within them, the pursuers awaited the moment when their ship's equipment would be torn to shreds.

However, it seemed that a while had passed, and the intense heat around them made the pursuers' faces feel hot, but the expected scene of ship equipment breaking and excruciating pain did not come.

"?"

The pursuer waited for a while, and she opened her eyes blankly, looking around.

Amidst the surging waves, the pursuer finally noticed a small figure standing in front of him.

Under the darkness and moonlight, her soft white hair danced in the wind like tangled, delicate silver threads.

The pursuer stared blankly at the figure standing in front of him for a while.

The ground beneath my feet bobbed with the waves, but it felt hard and solid, like the solid ground beneath my feet.

"Pursuer, are you alright?"

A gentle, melodious voice rang out, and the girl in front of her turned her head slightly, revealing a faint smile to the pursuer crouching on the ground.

"Admiral...?" the pursuer murmured subconsciously.

"What's wrong? Why are you making that face, like you're meeting me for the first time?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

"Ah...uh..." The pursuer snapped out of her daze. Looking at Xiaobai's smile, she suddenly blushed for some reason and awkwardly looked around. "N-nothing..."

The pursuers then realized that they had been taken to their own admiral's land-based ship equipment without their knowledge.

The land-based shipboard equipment is huge and very safe; it's stable and secure.

The pursuer, bracing herself against the ship's rigging, breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had escaped death. She silently sensed the water around her and discovered that the enemy submarine was still lingering near the land-based rigging, like a shark trying to trap and kill the victims on an isolated island...

"So the Admiral really does protect me..."

For some reason, the pursuer suddenly began to mutter to himself in a very low voice.

The ship girls are being protected by the admiral...

This feeling is just too... strange...

Whether it was because she escaped from the massive damage or because she was emotionally overwhelmed by the series of blows, the pursuer felt her heart beating very fast, the moon in the sky was so round and bright, time around her seemed to be moving very slowly, and the admiral smelled so good.
