"Excuse me, is it really impossible to make an exception?"
"We're just going in for a quick look, it's definitely not a military expedition!"
"We absolutely won't cause you any trouble, and you secretly let us in—only heaven, earth, you, and we know!"
"Hey bro, please help me out!"
"Please let me in!"
"..."
buzzing buzzing...
The voices of the admirals and ship girls surged into the gatekeeper's ears like a sultry wave. The crowd, pulsating like waves, made the gate at the entrance of the sea area tremble. Several ship girls from the admirals' guilds struggled to hold the iron gate open, but they were completely unable to control its tremors. It seemed that in just a few seconds, the gate would be smashed open by the united efforts of the crowd and cease to exist.
The gatekeeper stared at the scene before him, beads of sweat the size of soybeans constantly appearing on his forehead.
As part of his duties as an admiral, if he were to open the door for these admirals and ship girls who were not qualified to enter, the admiral's guild would certainly punish him for dereliction of duty.
But looking at the scene before them, if the gatekeeper didn't open the door, it would only be a matter of time before the fragile iron gate was broken in the face of the crowd—after all, there were ship girls in the crowd, and with their strength, tearing open an iron gate would be a piece of cake.
The ship girls aren't taking action right now mainly because of the Admiral's Guild's prestige and rules. But once there are too many people, the collective intelligence drops. If one hot-tempered girl suddenly shouts and mobilizes the entire group to start ramming the door and barging in, the consequences could be dire...
The gate has been broken down, and since there are so many people involved, I'll probably still be punished for dereliction of duty by the Admiral's Guild.
It's all the same no matter how you look at it!
As the gatekeeper thought about this, sweat poured down his forehead.
Is it too late to request reinforcements from the Admiral's Guild at this point?
Just as the goalkeeper was beginning to contemplate his retirement, a hearty laugh suddenly echoed from behind him, towards the beach leading to area 8-4.
"Hahaha! It's really lively here!"
Laughter erupted, full of energy.
The sound instantly pierced through the noise and reached the ears of every admiral present.
All of a sudden.
As if the pause button on a remote control had been pressed, the crowd that was moving wildly against the gate stopped instantly.
Chapter 2965 Enthusiastic Admiral
Quiet.
Very quiet.
It was unusually quiet.
The goalkeeper had never felt so quiet around him.
Right before everyone's eyes, several admirals appeared at the entrance to the 8-4 sea area.
At the very front of the group stood a tall, dark-skinned male admiral with a completely shaved head.
The admirals behind the iron gate stirred briefly upon seeing this admiral.
"Ah! Admiral Haoding!"
"It's Admiral Haoding!"
"The top ten admirals have all come out!"
The admirals behind the iron gate exclaimed in surprise, casting their gazes, filled with joy, trust, anticipation, and longing, at Admiral Haoding.
The crowd surged forward.
The iron gate creaked a few times.
The goalkeeper's face paled for a moment as he looked at the rickety iron gate.
However, at that very moment, the admirals near the iron gate turned their gaze to the back of Admiral Haoding. They saw Duan Shuiliu, Admiral Lian, Admiral Ling, Admiral Nanxing, and Xiaobai following behind Admiral Haoding.
The moment I saw Xiaobai.
The crowd gasped in shock.
With a whoosh, the crowd marched backward in unison, moving several meters away from the iron gate.
"I'm the best in the world..."
"Yes, it's that lord, that lord is here too!"
"Everyone, stop, stop, stop pushing! If we upset that person, we'll all die!"
"Quiet down! Quiet down!!!"
"Stop pushing! Stop pushing! Stop fucking pushing me!!! You guys don't want to live, but I do!"
"..."
The crowd outside the iron gate quickly quieted down amidst the commotion.
The admirals lowered their heads in fear, pulling the ship girls behind them and desperately shielding Shiro's view with their bodies, sweating profusely and holding their breath.
The swaying iron gate finally stopped at that moment.
The gatekeeper stared at the iron gate, the paleness on his face slowly fading, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as a deathly silence fell over the entrance to the sea area, Admiral Haoding walked behind the iron gate with a hearty laugh, put his hands on his hips, and greeted the other admirals behind the gate.
"Hahaha! Good morning, everyone!"
"..."
The admirals in the crowd reacted, but no one dared to speak as they stared at Xiaobai behind Admiral Haoding.
The response to Admiral Haoding was silence.
However, this awkward silence will not affect Admiral Haoding's enthusiasm in the slightest.
Then, Admiral Haoding immediately spoke loudly to the admirals behind the iron gate.
"Fellow colleagues! I know why you've come! Hahaha! From a personal perspective, I completely understand your thoughts! I also really want to help you! But I'm sorry, only admirals who have cleared the 8-3 sea area can pass through this entrance. This is a rule established by the Admirals' Guild, and it's a rule that we admirals should abide by." Admiral Haoding raised his hand and clenched his fist. "Everyone! I believe in your strength. As long as you're willing to go on the expedition properly, reaching this sea area is only a matter of time! In that case, could you please not cause any trouble for the gatekeepers? If any of you admirals are really curious about the 8-4 sea area, then after get off work today, I'd like to wait for you at the temporary naval base! I will personally come out and answer any questions you may have about the 8-4 sea area! What do you all think!"
The voice of Admiral Haoding echoed through the quiet crowd.
Upon hearing this, the admirals' eyes lit up with enthusiasm.
"And most importantly, the ship girls you're all pursuing aren't in area 8-4!" Admiral Haoding laughed loudly at the admirals outside the iron gate upon seeing this. "Hahaha! In that case, why don't you all go to area 8-2 first? After some time, I'll arrive at area 8-2 with the other top ten admirals. Let's compete and fight together, how about it!!"
buzzing buzzing...
Upon hearing this, the admirals outside the iron gate all reacted.
When the admirals saw Xiaobai, they had already considered backing out. Their previous courage had vanished, and they no longer dared to stay at the entrance to the 8-4 sea area.
Now that Admiral Haoding is willing to come out and share information about the 8-4 sea area with everyone, and has given everyone a way out to go to the 8-2 sea area, then naturally no one has any reason to stay.
The crowd in front of the iron gate bowed repeatedly to thank the top ten admirals, then immediately turned away, too afraid to look again, and retreated like a tide.
Within just ten minutes, the entrance to the 8-4 sea area had become completely empty.
"Haha, everyone, we can go out now!" Admiral Haoding looked at the now empty gate, laughed twice, then walked up to the gatekeeper and extended his palm. "Brother! How are you feeling?"
"Uh..." The gatekeeper stared blankly at Admiral Haoding's hand. He swallowed hard, then quickly grasped Admiral Haoding's hand and bowed to him and the top ten admirals behind him, thanking them profusely. "Thank you, thank you... thank you all for coming to my aid... if those people had been allowed to stay at the entrance any longer, I really don't know what would have happened..."
"Haha, my fellow admirals are also eager to learn, and they acted impulsively today. I hope you can forgive them." Admiral Haoding glanced at the crooked iron gate and said to the gatekeeper, "I'll cover the repair costs for this iron gate! Please put it on my garrison's account!"
"No, no, no, this won't do..."
"Hahaha! Brother, don't worry about it! It's nothing!"
Admiral Haoding returned to the group.
The gatekeeper looked at Admiral Haoding with emotion. He bowed repeatedly to the crowd before opening the crooked iron gate.
Xiaobai and the top ten admirals bid farewell to the gatekeeper and left the entrance to the 8-4 sea area.
"Admiral Haoding, this time you helped evacuate the crowd, made a promise in front of so many people, and even took the initiative to pay for the repair of the iron gate. Is it really okay?" After leaving the iron gate, Admiral Lian stepped forward, nudged Haoding's arm with her elbow, and asked with a helpless expression, "The things you agreed to are just troublesome to hear about."
"Haha, helping others is helping yourself!" Hao Ding said with a laugh.
"You..." Admiral Lian shook his head.
“Admiral Haoding’s reputation among admirals has always been high because of this,” Admiral Ling shrugged. “But I still think we should act within our capabilities. It’s really nice to have someone help us solve our problems… but your temporary naval base might not be able to accommodate all those admirals and ship girls.”
"Hmm, that makes sense. It seems we'll need to rent a few houses near my temporary naval base for now." Admiral Haoding thought seriously for a moment, then looked directly at Admiral Ling and replied, "Thank you for the reminder, Admiral Ling!"
The girls looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
The top ten admirals quickly arrived at sea area 8-2.
Area 8-2 is the largest beach area among the four sea areas in Chapter 8.
Theoretically speaking, even if all the admirals of Chapter 8 brought their ship girls to the 8-2 sea area, this beach could easily accommodate them.
Even so, when the top ten admirals set foot on this beach, they were still amazed by the magnificent sight on the beach.
The already vast beach was almost entirely packed with ship girls and admirals.
"Wow... so many people," Admiral Lian remarked.
"It feels like all the admirals from Chapter 8 have come here," Admiral Ling remarked.
"It's probably not that absolute, but it's likely that eight or nine out of ten admirals have come here."
"Are all these people going to compete with the salvage ship girls? Wow... the salvage ship girls must be exhausted."
"Haha, Admiral Lian is so humorous!"
The top ten admirals chatted and laughed as they made their way toward the beach.
Perhaps it was because Admiral Haoding was walking ahead and showing his face, or perhaps the other admirals noticed Xiaobai, but even though the 8-2 beach was crowded with people, the top ten admirals did not feel any congestion as they walked. Almost every admiral who saw Xiaobai and his group turned pale and quickly pushed aside to make way for the top ten admirals.
The top ten admirals arrived at the edge of the sea area with almost no obstacles.
Occasionally, flashes of fire can be seen on the sea.
At the edge of the sea, several admirals were holding binoculars and standing on tiptoe to look out at the sea.
"what?"
As Xiaobai arrived at the edge of the sea, she was about to look at the sea when she saw a familiar figure holding a camera and looking out at the ocean not far from her group.
She was a slender and tall female admiral.
The female admiral was mingling with a group of admirals, holding props, standing on tiptoe to look at the water, and occasionally there were bursts of complaints about the crowd and the noise of them interfering with each other.
"Hey, you stepped on my foot!"
Why did you push me? I can't even take a clear picture now!
"My notes, my notes!"
"..."
Unlike the other admirals, this group of admirals didn't seem to care about their surroundings; they always seemed like outsiders.
Xiaobai tilted her head, looked at the small group not far away, and saw that familiar figure. After thinking for a while, she called out.
"Miss Ning Lu?"
"Why did you step on me again... Huh?" The figure who had been called by Xiaobai was angrily saying this to the person next to her when suddenly her ears twitched and she looked over at Xiaobai. "...Hey! Isn't this Admiral Lu Lin!"
When Ning Lu saw Xiao Bai, her eyes lit up instantly. She quickly raised her hand and waved in Xiao Bai's direction, preparing to jump out of the crowd.
"Hey! If you leave, this spot will be ours!"
The admirals behind Ning Lu shouted.
"Screw you! I don't want this seat anymore! Take it or leave it! I'm leaving!"
Ning Lu turned around and made a face at the admirals behind her, then quickly grabbed the camera and rushed towards Xiao Bai with a smile.
Chapter 2966 Combat Introducer Lin
The spot Ning Lu just occupied appears to be the best location and the most comfortable shooting angle in the entire 8-2 sea area.
After Ning Lu left the spot, the admirals behind her immediately swarmed forward and began to fight desperately for her.
"Hey! I saw this spot first!"
"Get out of here! I stepped on it first!"
"All of you move aside! I was closest to her just now, so this spot is mine!"
