Elder brother's garrison

As consciousness gradually returned, Xiaobai slowly scooted forward in the blankets, raised its hand, and shifted its body.

Then, Xiaobai instinctively hugged another warm and comfortable body in the same bed.

Beneath the incredibly smooth curves of her body, between the two plump, soft mounds of flesh, lies the warmth and heat that Xiaobai longs for. In the cold train carriage early in the morning, only this can bring Xiaobai a touch of warmth.

Xiao Bai hugged this body like a pillow or a doll, its cool fingertips slowly touching the soft skin, then sinking inch by inch into the elastic flesh, as if a warm tongue had come to life, licking away the coolness from Xiao Bai's body bit by bit.

If a sleeper berth on a train can make Xiaobai feel as at ease as she does right now, making her want to stay in bed, then Xiaobai thinks a sleeper berth is actually pretty good.

With a jumble of random thoughts, Xiaobai pulled at the corner of the blanket and buried her head under it.

……

……Um?

Why do I suddenly have this feeling that I've forgotten something?

Little White, nestled in bed, suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Feeling this, Xiaobai slowly opened her eyes.

Then, the golden sunlight, with its slightly scorching brightness, entered Xiaobai's eyes after she opened them.

Inside the quiet compartment, the whooshing sound of the train moving forward echoed. Outside the originally pitch-black windows, the blue sky was bright, and the green mountains and rivers twisted and turned as the train sped along, transforming into blue and green ribbons that fluttered away.

In bed, Missouri, dressed in pajamas, was sleeping with her eyes closed right in front of Little White.

Her delicate nose appeared slightly red in the cold air, and her pink, glossy lips also seemed a little dry.

Oh wow.

A whole night has passed.

As her memories slowly returned, Xiaobai finally released her arms from Missouri's waist and rubbed her eyes.

Missouri is a ship girl who acts with great discipline and is very self-aware.

Last night, when Missouri suddenly pushed Xiaobai down and gave her a quick, passionate kiss, Xiaobai was so surprised and shocked that she was speechless for a short time.

But strangely enough, after Missouri kissed her and sought warmth on her lips, although Little White's mind stopped thinking, her body did not resist Missouri's familiar actions.

Fortunately, when the rampaging Missouri rode on Little White and saw that Little White's face was flushed from being kissed, she did not take any further action.

According to Missouri, the train carriage was a place the admiral disliked; she didn't think it was a place worth taking her relationship with the admiral to the next level or a place to create memories.

Let's just do what we've done before.

So afterwards, Missouri and Little White had a great time kissing.

Throughout the entire process, Xiaobai neither resisted nor welcomed, but silently cooperated, and eventually forgot how she fell asleep.

Anyway, after that, Xiaobai felt that her memory of being corroded by Missouri's two lips was quite vague. When she recalled it, all she could think of last night was the feeling that made her face turn red in waves.

It's a long story.

As the memories flowed back into her mind, Xiaobai sighed silently in her heart.

Xiao Bai lay with the sleeping Missouri for a while longer, until the sunlight streaming through the window grew brighter and brighter, before reaching for her phone by the bedside and checking the time on the screen.

It's six o'clock in the morning now, and the location shown on my phone screen is getting closer and closer to my destination.

The ship salvage event in Wisconsin is quite far away, about the same distance as where Xiaobai found Washington and the others last time. It's a train journey that won't take a day or two to get there, but Xiaobai isn't in a hurry to get up.

"It's already six o'clock..." Xiaobai murmured softly, looking at the screen on her phone.

"Is the Admiral hungry?"

"It's alright, I'm not hungry." Xiaobai fiddled with her phone, replying subconsciously. After a while, she realized what was happening. She turned her head and found that Missouri, who had been sleeping soundly, had opened her eyes at some point. Her face showed no signs of sleepiness, but she was looking at her with a half-smile.

"...Missouri, have you been pretending to be asleep all this time...?"

"Ah."

"Since you're awake, just say so..."

"Missouri has been waiting for the admiral to launch an attack on it."

"..." Xiaobai blushed at those words, unsure of how to reply. She shook her head twice and put her phone away.

"Admiral, do you have any reservations for today?"

"No."

"So, for breakfast today, Admiral, would you like steamed buns? Bread? Or perhaps Missouri?"

"No matter how you look at it, the last option isn't something you can eat."

“That’s right. It’s definitely not a healthy lifestyle to lie in bed all day. Sleeping is something we do so to get up.” Missouri smiled at Little White.

"Hmm? Get up?" Xiaobai was a little curious about Missouri's words. She was just about to ask Missouri what she meant when she suddenly felt Missouri's body, which had been pressed against her like a pillow since she woke up, start to move.

A slight creak came from the bed, and Missouri's long, slender limbs, which had been bent, gradually stretched out as she sat up from the bed.

As Missouri moved, Xiaobai felt her body, which had been pressed against Missouri's limbs, being slightly pushed towards the wall.

As their hands and feet became entangled, Xiaobai finally realized how cramped the bed was.

Xiaobai lay on her side on the bed, staring blankly as Missouri got up with a refreshing smile.

The sunlight was like rain, and Missouri, sitting on the bed, had a liberated and comfortable smile on her face, basking in the sunlight and gently breathing in the cool air.

"Um"

Missouri stretched and groaned softly in the sunlight.

Her milky-white neck was faintly visible beneath her neatly styled long hair. The thin nightgown clung to Missouri's full figure, and as she stretched, her entire body lifted slightly.

—The girl who just woke up is so pretty.

Lying on the bed, Xiaobai looked at Missouri and thought to herself.

"Crack."

Suddenly, a sound.

The button that had been holding up Missouri's pajamas all night finally gave way under her stretched-out body, popping off with a crisp sound and hitting Xiaobai squarely on the forehead with a thud.

"oops!"

Chapter 932 A Golden Retriever

As the train drew closer to its destination, people got on and off the train. Xiaobai noticed that, without realizing it, there were fewer and fewer people with black hair and more and more people with blond hair.

It really is close to where Washington lived back then.

The race has changed.

Three peaceful days passed, and the train arrived at the station on the morning of the fourth day.

Amidst the crowd, Xiaobai and Missouri walked hand in hand off the train and left the train station with the ocean-like flow of people.

The streets outside the train station were bustling with activity, filled with pedestrians. Blonde young men and women walked on the colorful bricks scattered on the ground. Travelers pouring out of the train station blended into the street. The cafes and cake shops around the station were open, and little girls holding fluffy bunnies greeted customers.

Xiao Bai stood at the train station entrance, looking at the pedestrians around him. Everywhere he looked, he could see a strong sense of exoticism.

Although Xiaobai didn't know if the people in this city were doing well, he knew they must be very rich.

This is a very prosperous city, and it's where the Wisconsin Boat Salvage Convention is held.

"Admiral, should we rent a hotel room first?" Missouri asked amidst the crowd.

“I feel like hotel room prices will be tight in a city like this… Maybe we shouldn’t go. Besides, the document says there are places prepared for us to stay. I guess we should go to the reception first and hand this in early.” Xiaobai turned her head and said to Missouri, holding the invitation.

Missouri had no objection to Xiaobai's decision. After nodding, the two of them went to the nearest newspaper stand, bought a map, and then headed towards the reception desk.

Unsurprisingly, this city is another coastal city.

Of course, this is to be expected. After all, inland cities don't need to worry about deep-sea amphibious ships, so they won't waste resources building ship girls for no reason. Only places that need ship girls' combat power will use the construction device regularly.

This city is several times the size of Yuxiu. Among the cities Xiaobai has lived in, it seems that only Kyoto can surpass it in terms of area and prosperity.

Because the area is so large and the city is developing so rapidly, it is difficult for a single admiral to effectively govern the land, and multiple admirals often encounter economic disputes.

So although the city is garrisoned by ship girls, there is no named admiral, and the ship girls have no affiliation. They are like civil servants, under the jurisdiction of the local government. They work and clock in on the city's coastline and receive their monthly salaries.

Because drivers in human cities rarely like to go near dangerous sea areas, Xiaobai initially wanted to walk to the coast.

However, after studying the map for a while and understanding the area concept implied by the scale, Xiaobai still felt that he probably needed to take a taxi.

He hailed a car, and Xiaobai and Missouri got in, indicating that they wanted to go to the beach.

To Xiaobai's surprise, the people in this city didn't seem to be very afraid of the Deepsea Ship. After learning that he was going to the seaside, the elderly driver did not show any nervousness.

As the taxi approached the other side of the city, Xiaobai, sitting inside, felt as if he heard a rumbling sound.

Xiao Bai looked at the taxi driver with some confusion, then at the pedestrians outside the car.

These people didn't seem to hear the booming sound in Xiaobai's ears.

At first, Xiaobai thought it was just because he had been on the train for a long time and his ears were filled with the sound of trains, so he didn't pay attention. But as the taxi got closer and closer to the sea, Xiaobai found that the rumbling sound he had thought was a side effect of the train seemed to be getting louder and louder.

"Rumble————"

A thunderous roar seemed to echo from the other side of the sky. As the taxi drew closer, Xiaobai could also hear the roar of carrier-based aircraft overhead.

"Excuse me, what was that rumbling sound...?" Xiaobai glanced at the taxi driver and noticed that his expression remained as calm as ever, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Oh, they're fighting the Abyssal Fleet, huh?"

"Huh??? The Deep Sea Abyss Ship attacked the city??" Xiaobai's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes... Oh, you're from out of town, aren't you?" The driver glanced at the nervous Xiaobai and gave her a knowing look. "Are you a ship girl?"

"...I am indeed from out of town...Um, why don't you park the car first? We can get there ourselves. It's too dangerous to go any further..."

"Oh, so she really is a ship girl. No wonder she's so pretty. Don't worry, everything's fine." The driver smiled at Xiaobai. "We're fighting every day here."

"what?"

"I heard that the Abyssal Fleet doesn't attack land much, right? It's different here. The Abyssal Fleet here is very aggressive, but that's how they make their money." The driver said as he drove, seemingly without any concern. "Basically, fights break out on the coast every few days. Don't worry, the Abyssal Fleet can't handle it. You don't need to help, guests. The people living here are used to it."

"..." Xiaobai stared blankly at the driver.

The driver didn't seem to want to explain further to Xiaobai. As the wheels rolled, a thick city wall quickly rose up in Xiaobai's view as the taxi approached.

The deafening roar of artillery fire, the howling of carrier-based aircraft, and the tearing sounds of explosions echoed incessantly on the other side of the wall.

The taxi stopped at the foot of the city wall.

After paying and getting off the bus, Xiaobai, who had been so focused on the city wall that he hadn't paid much attention to the ground, noticed that there were quite a few people at the foot of the wall.

A large portion of them are vendors pushing carts carrying various snacks, daily necessities, and other goods.

At the foot of the city wall, a deafening roar pierced through the mottled walls, sounding like thunder echoing in the sky. The sound was immense, but the merchants seemed to completely block out these sounds. No matter how loud the explosions were, they continued to sell their goods without a care in the world.

"Sunflower seeds, cigarettes, chocolate! Boxed lunches, ice cream, sausages! Dried fruit, drinks, mineral water! Sesame, seaweed, laver soup! All for just ten yuan! Ten yuan!"

"Freshly used everyday items by ship girls! Close-fitting shirt, 2,500 yen, no bargaining!"

"A family heirloom technique! The cross knot, passed down through eight generations! Buy one for your girlfriend or your ship girl! You're not just buying a gift; you're contributing to a dying cultural heritage!"

……

The taxi sped away from Xiaobai with a roar of its engine.

Missouri was left behind, along with Little White, who didn't know what expression to make.

—I always feel that the residents here are really amazing.

Looking at the lively scene around him, Xiaobai sighed inwardly.

Just now.

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, a cautious figure took advantage of the surrounding noise to approach Xiaobai.

The person walked up behind Xiaobai, quietly stuck out a finger, and poked Xiaobai's shoulder.

Xiao Bai turned around.

A head of golden hair fluttered in the wind.

Before Xiaobai could even see who was behind her, a pair of delicate arms swiftly embraced her.

A girl threw herself into his arms.

—Yes, but this time it's not Saratoga.

"It's Xiaobai!"
