Elder brother's garrison

"Let's go, let's go, it's time to go to work."

The ship girls were relieved and headed towards the flight path, quickly disappearing into it.

The ship girl fleet gradually disappeared into the sea fog.

The next second, the sea breeze blew.

The black fog seemed to possess a spirit, obscuring the route that had just been taken. Immediately afterwards, other areas with denser black fog began to fluctuate.

Several more routes, just as bright and clear as the previous one, were silently revealed as the black fog rippled.

After a long while, another group of ship girls arrived at the location.

"Huh? Has the flight path changed here?"

"Oh, there it is!"

"Let's go! Off to the monster-hunting spot!"

The dialogue was the same as the previous group of ship girls.

The second group of ship girls ran into another route.

……

Boom boom boom boom!

Crimson flames burned on the water's surface.

Just as the fleet entered the fog and had not yet had time to see the surrounding environment clearly, suddenly, two deep-sea battleships pounced on their prey like hungry tigers, breaking through the fog from the blind spots of the ship girls' perception and charging forward with howls.

Suddenly ambushed by two deep-sea creatures, the ship girl squad, who had just entered the thick fog, instinctively screamed. However, they still dodged skillfully and coordinated their attacks, quickly turning their firepower to obliterate the two ambush deep-sea battleships.

The flame goes out.

The ship girl group stared wide-eyed, still shaken, at the two deep-sea battleships lying in pieces on the water's surface.

"Wow... what happened? That's terrifying!"

The ship girl, who had just been ambushed, patted her chest and muttered to herself.

"These days... even deep-sea attacks are happening?"

"And the angle at which they appeared was so tricky, as if they knew we were coming all along, deliberately lying in ambush in the thick fog, almost fooling our detection system..."

"A coincidence... perhaps?"

The ship girls swallowed hard and looked around.

"Is anyone injured?" The flagship ship girl stepped out and asked the crew members beside her.

The team members were quiet at first, but after a while, one of the aircraft carrier ship girls raised her hand with an apologetic look on her face.

"Sorry... I was startled just now, and my ship's equipment was hit by a shell."

"Has the middle been broken?"

"No, the injury is neither minor nor serious," the aircraft carrier girl said.

"As long as it's not damaged." The flagship ship girl nodded and said to her crew, "Be careful later, let's continue."

"Ok!"

The ship girls nodded in agreement.

The ship girls collected the deep-sea metal from the two deep-sea battleships on the ground and continued their journey into the depths of the dense fog.

The two deep-sea battleships that launched the sneak attack were just a minor, insignificant incident.

A thick fog swept in, quickly enveloping the ship girl squad and making them disappear from sight.

The sea breeze howled.

The dark, swirling waters devoured the lifeless wreckage of the deep-sea battleship, consuming it completely in no time.

……

The sun shines brightly on the beach.

An admiral stared at the time on his phone, standing on tiptoe and looking at the water in the distance.

Several hours had passed since his fleet of ship girls set off.

Based on past experience, the ship girl team should have already returned to the beach with the rewards from their daily missions.

The young admiral looked at the water with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? Why aren't they back yet?"

The young admiral muttered to himself.

"Hasn't yours returned either?" Another admiral seemed to have overheard the young admiral's words and asked curiously as well.

"...Yeah." The young admiral nodded, scratching his head. "Hey...yours doesn't have any either?"

"There's still half an hour until the agreed-upon event, but according to past practice, they'll be back half an hour early," another admiral said.

"..."

The young admiral frowned as he listened to the words of the person beside him.

A strange... ominous feeling gradually enveloped the young admiral's heart.

The young admiral closed his eyes and used the admiral network to tentatively connect with the ship girls on the sea.

however……

The next second, the young ship girl opened her eyes with a blank expression.

His admiral network... surprisingly... couldn't find any ship girls at all.

Those lively ship girls from before... seem to have vanished into thin air!

Chapter 3208 Escape

Rumble rumble rumble —

Fierce artillery fire raged in the dark sea, the sea breeze tore at the thick smoke, and wave after wave crashed against the remains of countless deep-sea creatures.

"Awoooooo!"

A squadron of deep-sea amphibious ships burst out from the blind spot of the fog, and amidst a shrill roar, several shells were fired, hurtling towards the ship girl squadron.

"Eek—why, why again!"

The members of the ship girl fleet paled instinctively. They dodged and reacted with all their might, avoiding the attack of the deep-sea amphibious ship that was lunging out as quickly as possible.

After dodging the Abyssal Fleet, the ship girl squad sped away, not even glancing at the Abyssal Fleet on the sea surface, quickly passing by the howling Abyssal Fleet.

The members of the ship girl fleet did not look too good.

While the ship girl crew members were rushing along, one of them couldn't help but glance back.

That one glance made the ship girl, who had turned around, tremble all over, and her already pale face instantly turned completely bloodless.

Behind the ship girls, on the misty, dark, and narrow sea, countless abyssal ships were relentlessly pursuing them like madmen.

At first glance, the sea surface seemed to be covered with black ant colonies. These deep-sea amphibious ships screamed, tore and thrashed, eager to devour the ship girls completely.

"Ouch!"

"Roar roar roar————"

The ship girl who turned around saw this scene and trembled with fear, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't look!" Beside the ship girl who turned around, a petite battleship ship girl's eyes narrowed. She quickly grabbed her companion's hand, covered her eyes, and turned her head back.

"Ha...ha...good, good..."

The ship girl stopped looking at the deep-sea amphibious ship behind her. Perhaps because she felt the warmth of her companion's body, a little color finally appeared on her pale face.

However, the ship girl quickly revealed a look of despair.

"Can...can we still escape today...?"

"Don't think like that, we can escape!" The battleship girl next to her patted her companion's head and said loudly, "The admiral is still waiting for us on the shore, don't say such discouraging things!"

"well!"

The ship girl responded, and the color returned to her face.

Within the ship girl fleet, the other members remained silent, their bodies tense as they stared intently at the surrounding sea, wary of the deep-sea ships that might appear from any angle, while searching for a route to escape.

At the very front of the group, the flagship ship girl clenched her fists until they were white, and her forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

Today... today... what on earth is happening to this sea area...?

The ship girls present must have had this question in their hearts.

There's definitely something wrong with this ocean!

A few hours earlier, just as they were venturing into this sea area, preparing to head to their usual deep-sea clusters to grind monsters, as they had done in the previous days, the ship girl fleet present quickly noticed something was wrong.

As they entered the fog-shrouded route, deep-sea ships, like specially planted ambush monsters, would always appear at the most unexpected and relaxed moments for the ship girls, launching a surprise attack on their fleet.

Initially, during what was a rather unsuitable attack, several members of the ship girl fleet were accidentally injured.

It's not uncommon for ship girls to get injured on the high seas. According to the sea map, as long as they can find a safe area with thin deep-sea aura, they can use some spare quick repair devices to repair their ship equipment, and the fleet will quickly regain its combat power.

That's what all the members of the ship girl fleet think.

But... that's not the case.

As the battle in the mist dragged on, waves of Abyssal Fleet ships appeared. With each battle, the ship girls quickly realized something.

In this misty sea they had arrived at, it seemed... there was no place where they could rest.

At first glance, this misty sea seems peaceful, but deep-sea ships lurk within every wisp of fog. Battles and firelight attract enemies from within the fog, and the ship girls' resources begin to dwindle to near-impossible levels after countless battles. They gradually become exhausted and unable to hold on. As their mental endurance falters, members begin to be wounded and lose their fighting ability. As more and more ship girls lose their fighting ability, they will pay an even higher price when facing the next deep-sea creature attack... It's almost a negative snowball effect. They don't even have time to collect deep-sea metal from the defeated enemies and can only flee in disarray.

Unbeknownst to them, their identities shifted.

The ship girl team began to realize that their team of ship girls seemed to have become prey for deep-sea creatures.

The ship girls wanted to leave.

However... this sea area is not a place you can leave just because you want to.

The fog made the route extremely narrow. Because countless enemies were lurking in the fog, the ship girl fleet dared not rush in rashly. They could only try to escape along the narrow paths and find a way out.

Ship girls have an extremely strong sense of direction; at least on the high seas, they will never get lost.

This time, however, the ship girls discovered that they had a problem with their sense of direction.

On the fog-shrouded sea, countless routes lead to uncharted territories, and any misstep could lead to encounters with even more deep-sea enemies. The ship girl fleet is already exhausted, their equipment damaged and resources nearly depleted. They are struggling to evade even the pursuing deep-sea ships. In this situation, any increase in the number of enemies could be the final straw.

As the fleet raced forward, it once again encountered several forks in the road.

The entrance to the flight path was barely visible, shrouded in thick fog.

"Where are the exports? Where are the exports?!"

The flagship ship girl gritted her teeth, anxiously screaming in her heart.

This misty sea... how can there be so many routes!

"No, let's choose one and run!" a ship girl shouted frantically as she looked at the Abyssal Fleet ships getting closer and closer behind her.

"But...but...alright!" The flagship ship girl's shoulders trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but she quickly realized that if she stayed here, only a tragic outcome awaited the fleet. "Choose the one that's most intuitively right, run!"

The fleet girl nodded sadly, and then, guided by their senses, they ran into a small path and quickly disappeared into the mist.

In the sea fog, the pursuing deep-sea ships roared and spewed flames, gradually disappearing into the mist.

Chapter 3209 Salvage

Sensing the dissipation of the deep-sea ships behind them, the fleet's ship girls all showed relaxed expressions of relief after surviving a disaster.

"Wow...okay, looks like I made the right choice!"

One of the ship girls breathed a sigh of relief and said this.

"Ah... thank goodness... thank goodness..."

The fleet members sighed, and as they looked at the increasingly thinning fog around them, they finally felt a secret joy.

"It seems we survived this ordeal because the admiral must have been praying for us on the beach..."

"Quick, let's go back... I don't want to stay at sea anymore..."
