Elder brother's garrison

Of course, it's not time for Xiaobai to open the door himself yet.

As the being that shares memories with Xiaobai, Deep Sea Will knows everything Xiaobai experienced outside. After Xiaobai released her ship equipment, it didn't take long for the carrier-based aircraft controlled by Deep Sea Will to fly out of Xiaobai's ship equipment one by one, disappearing into the already darkening sky with a bluish flame.

After waiting for a short while, a few minutes later, a carrier-based aircraft emitting blue flames flew down and floated in front of Xiaobai, circling around and making a checkmark.

After confirmation by carrier-based aircraft, it appears that the location ahead is indeed that of the deep-sea amphibious fleet that Kiji mentioned.

"Lu Lin, what should we do?" Missouri asked Xiaobai. "Should we launch a surprise attack?"

"A sneak attack... Ah, let's not do that yet..." Xiaobai shook her head. "The opponent is Dean Shenhai. If a sneak attack doesn't work, we'll be the ones in trouble. Besides..."

At this point, Xiaobai thought for a moment: "And that Dean of the Deep Sea... who knows, he might also be... oh well, never mind."

Missouri looked at Xiaobai's strange reaction with curiosity: "What does Dean Deep Sea mean?"

"The Dean of the Deep Sea is an extremely powerful figure within the Deep Sea Abyss, essentially like the king of the Deep Sea Abyss," Xiaobai said.

"How does it compare to the will of the deep sea?"

"...They probably can't beat the Will of the Deep Sea," Xiaobai explained.

“That’s good.” Missouri said, a confident smile spreading across her face. “Missouri doesn’t think she will lose.”

"...In short, I'll go and see for myself first." Xiaobai smiled as he looked at Missouri's belligerent appearance, and then slowly said.

"Lu Lin, are you going over there?"

"Ah."

“It’s very dangerous.” Missouri frowned. “Missouri doesn’t think it’s a good idea. If you insist on going, Lu Lin, please be sure to take Missouri with you.”

"I'm fine, Missouri. Have you forgotten that the Deepsea Abyssal Ship won't attack me on its own? I'm protected by the Will of the Deep Sea," Xiaobai explained with a smile.

Missouri paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully: "That seems to be the case."

"So I'll go check it out. Don't worry, I'm super strong." As Xiaobai spoke, he raised one arm, struck a strongman pose, and then smiled at Missouri, "There won't be any problems."

"Missouri, take good care of North Carolina, okay? I'm going to check on things first." Little White patted the dust off his clothes, then waved to Missouri and Sukhbaatar and slowly walked forward.

The few minutes it takes for a carrier-based aircraft to fly actually feels quite long on foot. Xiao Bai walked for quite some time before gradually feeling a strong dampness.

Subsequently, the scent of deep-sea resentment finally became strong enough for Xiaobai to perceive.

Xiao Bai stretched out his hand, looked at the wisps of black energy swirling around his palm, and nodded helplessly.

It seems I'm definitely not cut out to be a ship girl. Missouri sensed the deep-sea resentment a long time ago, but it took me so long to finally perceive it.

It's a bit embarrassing.

"But... where does this heavy humidity come from..." Xiaobai murmured curiously as she walked forward, supporting herself on the tree trunk.

“Deep-sea amphibious ships are creatures of the sea. Even when they come ashore, they like to stay in places like lakes.” Suddenly, Sukhbaatar’s voice rang out behind Xiaobai.

"Huh?!" Xiaobai was startled and quickly turned around to look behind her.

Behind Xiaobai, Sukhbaatar stood there with a matter-of-fact expression: "Oh."

"Oh—what's this? Lord Sukhothar, didn't we agree that I would come first? How come you're here too?" Xiaobai asked Sukhothar quickly.

"It's too boring staying there, so I came to check on you."

"What if the deep-sea amphibious ships find us?"

"Hmph, you're not the only one who can't be attacked by deep-sea ships, little girl." Sukhbaatar chuckled, revealing a row of pearly white teeth. "This lord can also fight his way in and out of deep-sea ships seven times over."

It was only when Sukhbaatar finished speaking that Xiaobai realized what was going on.

It seems that Sukhbaatar will not be attacked by the Abyssal Fleet precisely because of its neutral stance.

"Oh, I see..." Xiaobai sighed. "I'm sorry... then thank you for protecting me, Lord Su."

"Yes." Lord Su nodded, then walked from behind her to Xiaobai's side.

Little White and Sukhbaatar walked side by side into the depths of the jungle.

"Speaking of which, little girl, there were people around before, so I didn't have a chance to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"Is that so-called purple deep-sea amphibious ship, also known as the Deep-Sea Dean, related to you in some way?" Sukhbaatar asked.

Xiao Bai was taken aback, then smiled and looked at Sukhbaatar: "Why would Lord Sukhbaatar think that way?"

"Because you asked about the color yourself, and you were quite shocked when you found out it was purple." Sukhbaatar said, then looked at Little White, "Could it be that the purple-robed dean is still alive in the future?"

"Ah... um." Xiaobai nodded somewhat awkwardly.

—Not only are they alive, but they're also quite shameful.

“That’s truly remarkable.” Sukhbaatar stopped there after asking that question.

Xiaobai and Sukhbaatar continued walking.

As they walked, the concentration of deep-sea resentment surrounding them increased, and soon it slowly transformed from a faint black current into a thin mist, which continued to thicken as Xiaobai moved forward.

At this moment, Xiaobai and the others should have already been exposed within the Abyssal Fleet's control circle. However, one of them was protected by the Abyssal Will, and the other had no trace of ship girls or humans, so the Abyssal Fleet did not become alert.

Soon, Xiaobai lifted a vine hanging from a branch, and in an instant, a new vista opened up.

Beyond the vines was a large open space.

The white moonlight, like spilled milk, melted into the thick fog, illuminating the area. In front of Xiaobai was a large lake.

The lake water had turned pure black, reflecting a translucent light under the moonlight.

Then, to Xiaobai's surprise, hundreds of deep-sea ships, radiating a red glow, were obediently staying in this open space, some floating in the lake, others lying on the shore. Their black fish heads had emotionless eyes staring straight ahead, sending chills down one's spine.

"Wow, that's a lot!" Sukhbaatar exclaimed unabashedly in Little White's ear.

"..." Xiaobai gave a wry smile, speechless.

To be honest, this number has completely exceeded Xiaobai's expectations.

"Where is the purple-haired Dean of the Deep Sea?" Sukhbaatar patted Little White on the back and asked.

"Isn't she here?" Shiro looked up and glanced around. "If Yamato-neechan is the leader, she should be with the Deep Sea Princess and the others..."

"He died suddenly on the way?"

"That's impossible," Xiaobai shook her head.

However, just as Xiaobai and Sukhbaatar were talking, in the very center of the lake, on a stretch of water facing the moonlight, a thunderous roar erupted, and purple lightning instantly filled the entire area. In an instant, the lightning exploded like a bomb, and black water splashed in all directions.

As visible purple sparks of electricity rose into the sky, a voluptuous purple figure emerged from the water like a mermaid, gently curving into an arc in the moonlight before gracefully landing on the surface.

Xiao Bai saw clearly that it was a naked white-haired woman.

Her long white hair was wet, clinging tightly to her full chest. Water droplets clung to her fair, moon-like chin, and her purple pupils were cold and empty, radiating a chilling light.

When the woman appeared, all the deep-sea ships stopped what they were doing, raised their heads, and looked up at the woman in the middle of the lake as if they were looking up at an emperor.

Little White stared wide-eyed at the person in the middle of the lake.

"Is that the person you know, the one called Yamato-neechan?" Sukhbaatar asked.

"...I...I don't know." Shiro was stunned. "I remember Yamato-neechan wasn't that cool...that's why..."

Just then, the woman in the middle of the lake reached out, grabbed a fish in her hand, opened her mouth, and snapped it into her mouth.

The woman stood on the lake, her hands hanging limply at her sides. Beneath her beautiful face, she held a lake fish that was happily flipping up and down in her mouth.

—Yes, it's definitely Yamato-neechan.

Chapter 502 She Infiltrated

Xiao Bai and Sukhbaatar had completely approached the lake where the deep sea was resting. The swirling mist-like deep sea resentment around them finally dissipated as Xiao Bai saw hundreds of deep sea ships, just like in the Chapter Sea.

In fact, quite a few deep-sea ships lying on the open ground had already spotted Xiaobai and Sukhbaatar. They stared at Xiaobai with their blood-red eyes, but then looked away with some confusion due to the mysterious aura emanating from Xiaobai and Sukhbaatar.

For this reason, Xiaobai and Sukhbaatar did not deliberately avoid these deep-sea ships. Instead, they hid in the bushes and looked towards the deep-sea Yamato in the center of the lake.

The deep-sea Yamato in the center of the lake is completely different from the deep-sea Yamato in Shiro's memory.

Compared to the warm and humane Shiba Inu-like Deep Sea Dean at the Naval Base, Deep Sea Yamato standing on the lake now appears noticeably colder.

It seems that the passage of hundreds of years has not been entirely without leaving its mark on Deep Sea Yamato. The current Deep Sea Yamato looks a few years younger, and when Xiaobai looks at it, he feels that it has gained a special kind of heroic spirit.

"Should we go up and say hello?" Sukhbaatar asked Little White, lying in the grass.

"She doesn't recognize me." Xiaobai shook her head helplessly, then stared at the center of the lake.

"Oh, that's true." Sukhbaatar thought for a moment, "So, what are you planning to do with the little girl?"

"What? How do I do it?"

“Our objective… cough cough, isn’t your objective to save that city and sink all these deep-sea ships that threaten it? Well, we’re already close to the enemy; it’s time to move out,” Sukhbaatar said.

Xiaobai pursed her lips somewhat awkwardly: "There are a lot of deep-sea ships, and Yamato is still in the middle of the lake."

"Hmm? From what you're saying, you don't want to hurt the Deep Sea Dean in the middle of the lake?"

"..." Xiaobai nodded, "It would be even better if we could have a good conversation and get Yamato-neechan to go back on her own."

"It seems like you two have a pretty good relationship in the future. So, did the Deep Sea and humans make peace and start intermarrying in the future? And is this purple Deep Sea Dean your sister-in-law?" Sukhbaatar became a little interested in Little White, her eyes gleaming mischievously.

"Haha..." Xiaobai shook his head awkwardly.

The future Yamato is so capable and gentle. If possible, Xiaobai really hopes that Yamato is his sister-in-law. Unfortunately, even hundreds of years later, the gap between the deep sea and humans cannot be cleared. Xiaobai can only dream about such a good thing.

“Let me tell you first, if you want to communicate, you should give up on that idea,” Sukhbaatar said.

Xiao Bai was taken aback: "Huh? Can't we communicate?"

Sukhbaatar shook his head and pointed a finger at Abyssal Yamato: "Look at her eyes."

Xiao Bai looked in the direction Sukhbaatar pointed.

"Well, did you see it clearly?" Sukhbaatar asked.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai nodded.

The ship's equipment provides excellent vision, allowing even a novice to achieve a certain level of night vision and farsightedness. It's not too difficult to see the deep-sea Yamato's gaze clearly from the middle of the lake, which is several hundred meters away.

“Those are the eyes of a beast,” Sukhbaatar explained. “She has not been the Dean of the Deep Sea for very long. Although she looks very similar to you, her intelligence and rationality have not improved at all. At best, she is just a mechanical fish in human skin.”

Sukhbaatar's words enlightened Xiaobai.

It seems that the Deep Sea Yamato, whose lineage has been severed, has not yet evolved into the modern-day super dean. It is estimated that he was only recently chosen by the deep-sea resentment and promoted to the position of deep-sea dean, which is only a matter of days or months.

So, in that case, the current state of the Deep Sea Yamato is no different from that of a normal Deep Sea Abyssal Ship; it simply acts on instinct.

Xiaobai was in a dilemma.

Even so, even if Abyssal Yamato's evolution is not yet complete, she is still a true Dean, and her combat power cannot be ignored. Moreover, she is protected by so many Abyssal ships. In a head-on fight, a mere White with the combat power of Missouri would probably not have much of a chance of winning.

More importantly, when a battle breaks out, shells can strike without warning, and one shot might accidentally injure Deep Sea Yamato. Therefore, Shiro really didn't want to fight Deep Sea Yamato.

"Can't we really reason with each other?" Xiaobai asked again.

“You can give it a try,” Sukhbaatar shrugged. “Provided you know the language of the deep sea.”

"..." Xiaobai lowered his head helplessly.

There's absolutely no way to deal with this, since Xiaobai doesn't understand the language of the deep sea at all.

Just then, Little White, who was pressed against Sukhbaatar, suddenly shuddered and his body twitched slightly.

"You have epilepsy? I didn't know?" Sukhbaatar looked at Xiaobai in shock.

"No, no...no, that's not it." Xiaobai shook her head and smiled apologetically at Sukhbaatar. "Lord Sukhbaatar, may I think about it for a moment?"

"Oh, sure."

"Thank you," Xiaobai said gratefully, then slowly closed her eyes.

Xiaobai certainly doesn't have epilepsy; after all, she's a ship girl now, and her body is perfectly healthy. The reason she was vibrating just now was something else entirely.

That is the door to Xiaobai's mental world, which had been sealed off by the will of the deep sea, and it was slowly unlocked just now.

The will of the deep sea has proactively unlocked the mental world, probably to say something to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai slowly entered the spiritual world.

The heavy humidity and the smell of deep-sea resentment gradually disappeared, and the familiar scent of grass and a gentle breeze gradually floated onto my forehead.

Xiao Bai opened her eyes and returned to her mental world.

The familiar blue sky, the familiar green grass, the familiar boundless grassland, and the broken sapling in the very center of the grassland.
