Elder brother's garrison

"Damn it, Admiral, are you even speaking human language?!"

"Warspite, next time I build the second White Radar unit, I'll make sure to change the helmet color to match yours better."

"You should really put some effort into the helmet's design and the warning sounds! And speaking of which, when exactly did I agree to help you test Unit 2, Admiral?!"

"Warspite, time is running out, let's get going!" Luo Lian said, then leaned over Warspite and reached out to turn on the helmet button again.

A series of wailing alarm sounds rang out, and the bright lights once again illuminated the hall.

After Guild Master Er Gou arranged the vehicles, Luo Lian grabbed the bewildered Yan Zhan and rushed out of the Admiral's Guild with Guild Master Er Gou.

With the roar of engines and the sounds of panic from the crowd on the street, the siren gradually faded into the distance.

The hall of the Admirals' Guild was completely silent; the admirals looked at each other.

"...Uh, who was that just now...?"

"She is the current president of the Admiral's Union. It seems she passed away. I heard she was a high school classmate of the daughter of the adoptive parents of the former president's husband."

"...Wait, she's married?"

"Yes."

"Oh, my wife."

The young admiral blushed and covered his chest.

Suffered.

It's a heartwarming feeling.

On the beach at the node of Chapter 1042, accompanied by a wailing alarm, an off-road vehicle sped from the road onto the beach.

Amidst the flying sand and stones, the SUV door opened, and Luo Lian and Guild Master Er Gou jumped out one after the other. They grabbed Warspite, who was covering his face, and ran towards the sea. With a full leap, they jumped directly into the speedboat that had been parked on the beach. Under the dumbfounded gaze of the entire beach admiral, they drove far away in the blink of an eye until they disappeared from sight.

The speedboat sped across the waters of Chapter 10. Exhausted and weary, the war-weary man collapsed onto the sofa, gazing up at the sky.

In the ear of the war-weary man was the excited shouts of Chairman Er Gou, who had finally managed to go out to sea once.

"Admiral, is it really a good idea for us to just sail into the deep-sea territory like this...?"

"It's okay, you're here." Luo Lian gave Warspite a thumbs up. "Teacher also has ship equipment, so Warspite only needs to protect me."

"..."

War-weariness always feels like something's off, but then again, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong.

As the conspicuous speedboat sailed further and further away, Warspite, with its flashing sirens overhead, leaned against the speedboat, gazing helplessly at the sea.

To be honest, Warspite actually understands the friendship between her admiral and Shiro quite well. After all, she's spent so much time with her admiral, and Warspite has realized that her admiral doesn't really have any other friends.

Since Admiral Xiaobai is her only close friend, it's hard to understand why the Admiral would hiss and gasp for breath every time he hears news about Admiral Xiaobai, and then pounce on him... probably.

But, but, but!

Even if you want to understand, you still need to talk about the Basic Law!

Warspite stared at the sea beside the speedboat, his feelings incredibly complicated.

It's one thing to believe that Admiral Xiaobai is in the chapter city rather than believe that this stupid helmet is malfunctioning, but if the stupid helmet says that Admiral Xiaobai is in the sea, are you guys really going to run to the sea to find her without any doubt?

How could humans possibly appear in a sea full of deep-sea amphibious ships?

As War-weary thought to herself, she looked up at Luo Lian and Guild Leader Er Gou's faces.

The expressions on these two people's faces suggest they're serious.

"...Um, Admiral."

"kindness?"

"Um, I'm just giving you a little heads-up, no offense intended, but it's probably very unlikely that humans would be in the ocean... right?"

“…Ah!” Luo Lian, who was staring at the sea, suddenly froze.

"Admiral, do you finally understand?!"

"No, I found Xiaobai!" Luo Lian shook her head and pointed to the sea.

"What?!" Warspite was shocked and quickly followed Luo Lian to look at the sea.

In the direction Luo Lian pointed, on the other side of the distant sea, a familiar figure was standing on the water, circling around, as if waiting for something. He would occasionally look down at his phone screen, probably checking the time.

As Warspite and the others looked over there, the figures on that side also heard the sound of the speedboat approaching them.

The figure turned its head and looked in this direction with curiosity.

Then, Warspite saw Little White covering her mouth, staring at him with wide, round eyes, looking on in surprise.

—Holy crap?

—Is he really a rookie admiral?

War-weariness was shocked.

Oh my god!

The little white admiral has actually appeared on the sea!

With a splash, the speedboat, under the skillful control of President Er Gou, drifted gracefully across the sea, kicking up a high spray of water, before finally coming to a stop in front of Xiao Bai.

"noob!"

Luo Lian couldn't wait to jump off the yacht, completely disregarding the fact that there was sea beneath her, and rushed towards Xiao Bai.

"Lian...Lianlian?! And, and there's also the student council president!?"

Xiao Bai, holding her phone, was somewhat shocked as to why Luo Lian and President Er Gou, two deadly figures, would appear beside her. She quickly stepped forward and, before Luo Lian fell into the sea, reached out and hugged her tightly, catching her.

"Yo!" President Er Gou wasn't as anxious as Luo Lian. She simply held onto the edge of the yacht and smiled at Xiao Bai below. "How about it? Surprised? Unexpected?"

"Uh... Ahahaha..." Xiao Bai hugged Luo Lian, somewhat unsure of what to do, and smiled at Guild Master Er Gou. "It's... quite a surprise..."

Leaving aside how much joy there was, I was genuinely quite surprised.

After a brief moment of confusion, Xiao Bai carried Luo Lian back to President Er Gou's speedboat.

On the speedboat, Warspite, sitting on the ground, stared blankly at Little White as if he were a fantasy creature.

On her head, a shiny helmet that kept emitting red light was wailing.

"...Uh." Xiaobai and Warspite stared at each other for a while, but for some reason, Xiaobai couldn't take his eyes off Warspite's helmet. "Warspite, long time no see..."

"...Uh, it's been a long time, Admiral Xiaobai..."

"Your hat... it's kind of unique... quite cute, isn't it?" Xiaobai thought for a while and then smiled awkwardly at Warspite.

Warwear took a deep breath.

"Is it really cute?"

"Hmm? Ah? Uh... um."

"Give it to you."

"Alas??!"

Chapter 1043 Honest Ship

When I first saw Warspite's helmet that was whimpering, I, like President Er Gou, almost burst out laughing at the look of utter despair on Warspite's face beneath the helmet.

Fortunately, Xiao Bai quickly made a connection. When they lived together before, Yan Zhan was always semi-forced by Luo Lian to experience certain things every now and then. Although it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it, it always felt like the two of them were idiots who had a grudge against each other. Thus, she roughly understood that this time it was probably Luo Lian's fault again.

That's why, in order to encourage Warspite, Xiaobai shifted his attention and praised Warspite's unique little helmet.

"Uh, no, that's not a good idea..."

Startled by the answer from the war-weary man, Xiaobai awkwardly pushed his hand away from a distance and subconsciously took two steps back.

"...Hey Warspite, look, that hat you're wearing looks pretty rare, and you just gave it to me like that... I feel so bad..."

"It's alright, this is just Unit 1. I, the Admiral, will build Unit 2, Unit 3, Unit 4, and so on. Admiral Xiaobai, feel free to take any you want." Warspite said as she reached out and took off the helmet that was making a whirring noise on her head.

Interestingly, the moment Warspite took off his helmet, the siren blared from inside the helmet stopped abruptly, and the flashing red warning light creaked and groaned as if the Autobots were transforming and retreated back into the helmet.

In the blink of an eye, the helmet that would always be the focus of everyone's attention finally lost its youthful brilliance and returned to its purest and most flawless form.

To be honest, looking at it now, this helmet is actually a very ordinary helmet.

"Please accept this, Admiral Shiro! This is a small token of my gratitude for taking care of my admiral over the years!"

As Warspite spoke, he adopted a rather solemn and dignified expression, and walked with a noble air to Little White, then gently placed the helmet on Little White's head.

"Eh--"

Xiaobai smiled somewhat reluctantly, but did not dodge, instead letting Warspite put the helmet on her head.

It must be said that although Luo Lian's silly invention contained her own unique and wicked sense of humor, in terms of quality alone, the helmet was quite well-made and meticulous.

For example, even though Xiaobai is wearing a helmet, he doesn't feel that his vision is blocked, nor does he feel any stuffiness on his head. In the sea full of salty sea breeze, wearing this helmet to protect him from the wind and rain has unexpectedly made him much more comfortable.

Wow, not bad!

The little white guy inside the helmet raised his eyebrows, suddenly taking a liking to the helmet.

"Hmm... if it doesn't whimper, this helmet is actually quite normal." Warspite looked at Little White with a somewhat complicated expression.

"What does 'whimpering' mean?"

Xiaobai's curiosity was piqued by Warspite's words, and she asked Warspite with some doubt.

"This helmet, although it looks like a helmet on the surface, is actually a radar disguised as a helmet," Warspite said, hands on her hips. "Our admiral accidentally discovered that you, Admiral Xiaobai, were around when he was testing this helmet."

"Huh? It has this function?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise. "Uh... but if it's a radar, why is it made to look like a helmet?"

"This thing finds the admiral by identifying the admiral's network, so it needs to use the ship girls' ability to sense the admiral's network to work." Warspite shrugged helplessly. "So the admiral just made it into something that's close to her body."

"Ah... I see." Xiaobai nodded, then looked at Luo Lian on the other side, "Is that why the warning light effect and siren were so conspicuous just now?"

"No, that's just my personal hobby," Luo Lian replied quite seriously.

"...But it was supposed to be worn by Warspite, after all..."

"..." Luo Lian blinked and scratched her head. "Actually, this helmet can also be used as a medium when our admirals use the admiral network. So when it was first made, I didn't actually plan for Warspite to wear it, so I set up a rather conspicuous piece of music."

"What???" Warspite's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets after hearing Luo Lian's words. "Admiral, you...you...didn't you say before that only ship girls could use it?"

"sorry."

Luo Lian readily bowed her head to Warspite.

War-weariness is shocking.

That radar... so... it can actually be used outside of the ship girl's body!

"Admiral, you... Aa ...

Warspite trembled as she pointed her index finger at Luo Lian, her expression a mixture of shame and anger. However, the three words had barely left her lips when she couldn't suppress the indignation in her chest. She stomped her feet a few times, covered her flushed face, and screamed as if releasing her pent-up frustration. Then, she leaped off the speedboat and sped away, splashing through the water as she raced across the distant sea.

Condemnation! Condemnation! Strong condemnation!

The thought of being surrounded by people wearing that stupid helmet today caused a surge of emotions within him that he couldn't contain.

I'm so angry!!!

To quell his rage and urge to attack, Warspite said he needed a run in the sunset to calm down.

On the speedboat, Xiaobai watched as the figure of Warspite gradually shrank and disappeared on the sea.

"Um... Lianlian, don't bully Warspite like that anymore."

“…I’m reflecting on my actions.” Luo Lian lowered her head.

"This is indeed a very precious invention," Xiaobai said, pointing to the helmet on his head. "Um, Lianlian, you should take it back."

"Hmm? Xiaobai, don't you like this helmet?" Luo Lian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Eh?"

Xiao Bai's finger, which was pointing at the helmet, immediately bent down. She hesitated for a long time, looking at the expectant expression on Luo Lian's face, which resembled that of a small animal.

"Uh, well... anyway, they're quite comfortable to wear, um."

"That's it."

Luo Lian smiled gently, "Then I'll give it to you."
