At the same time, thousands of miles away.
The two girls, who were in different places, shrugged and sneezed almost simultaneously.
"A chirp!"
……
The next morning arrived quickly.
Last night, Xiaobai felt like she fell asleep in a hazy state. She even forgot to turn off the light and crawl into bed.
But when Xiaobai woke up this morning, she found that the room lights had been turned off and she was lying in warm bedding.
Xiaobai rubbed her eyes and got out of bed, looking around.
Not far from the bed, a research and construction machine with a large apron tied around its waist was holding a plate of hot breakfast and choosing its clothes for the next day in front of the wardrobe.
—This research and construction machine is really starting to resemble a nanny more and more.
"Good morning, research and construction machine."
"Crench!"
"Ah... I see, thank you."
"Crench!"
After finishing breakfast and changing his clothes, Xiaobai said goodbye to the research and construction machine in his room and left the dormitory.
After finishing his morning business, Xiaobai left the temporary garrison and headed towards the 8-4 sea area.
The streets were packed with people along the way.
The sounds around me were as noisy as a morning market.
Xiaobai's ears were filled with words like "salvage ship girls," "extremely powerful," "battle," and "good opportunity."
—It seems that Montana is the one responsible for today's success.
Today's Chapter 8 city seems to be the liveliest time in recent times. I've never seen so many admirals and ship girls in Chapter 8 before.
Fortunately, despite the excitement of Chapter 8, only a few of the top ten admirals have reached the 8-4 sea area so far.
Despite the massive crowds, they were ultimately kept out of the 8-4 sea area.
When Xiaobai passed through the gate of the 8-4 sea area and finally arrived at the relatively spacious beach of the 8-4 sea area, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
On beach 8-4, the top ten admirals had already arrived early.
"Admiral Lu Lin, hahaha! Good morning!" Admiral Hao Ding raised his hand and greeted Xiao Bai warmly when he saw him.
"Good morning, Admiral Haoding... Good morning, Sister Nanxing, Sister Duan, Sister Lian, Sister Ling." Xiaobai greeted the top ten admirals in turn, then smiled apologetically, "Ah... um, am I late again today... I'm so sorry."
"Hahaha, Admiral Lu Lin, it's not that you're late today, it's that we're too early."
"Ah...it seems you all really care about rescuing and salvaging the ship girls..." Xiaobai scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, looking at the top ten admirals in front of her, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry for delaying our operation..."
Xiao Bai still remembers that he made an appointment with the top ten admirals yesterday to go and rescue the salvage ship girls together this morning.
After what happened last night, Xiaobai had already confirmed the identity of the salvaged ship girl. She also knew that the strength of the salvaged ship girl—that is, Montana—was far beyond what a few waves of deep-sea bosses could handle. Therefore, unconsciously, Xiaobai became much more relaxed about the operation to rescue the salvaged ship girl, which is why she did not rush over immediately after waking up the next day.
Xiaobai wasn't worried about Montana's safety.
For a ship girl of Montana's strength, this ocean feels as warm as a fellow countryman.
But the top ten admirals were unaware of this.
Therefore, in the eyes of the top ten admirals, Xiaobai's slack behavior may mean that she does not care about the safety of the salvaged ship girls.
Faced with Xiaobai's apology, the top ten admirals present stared at Xiaobai in a daze for a while, then they looked at each other and suddenly smiled.
"Hahaha! Admiral Lu Lin is so humorous."
"That means, our little cutie is still talking to us about the rescue operation at this time."
"My little cutie saw the message this morning, that's why she came over so slowly, right?"
The top ten admirals smiled and said to Xiaobai.
"what?"
Xiaobai was stunned, and she pointed to herself.
"Wha...what news?"
"Little cutie, your acting is pretty good!" Admiral Lian smiled and reached out to gently poke Xiaobai's nose. She smiled at Xiaobai and then said, "This morning, the Admiral Forum was flooded with news about salvaging ship girls. It seems we don't need to send out an expedition to rescue a salvaged ship girl today—Duanduan was right yesterday, this salvaged ship girl does indeed have the special ability to coexist with the Abyssal Fleet!"
"Eh? Admiral's comments..."
Xiaobai paused for a moment. She was about to speak, but seeing the stares of the top ten admirals in front of her, she subconsciously closed her mouth.
Admiral Forum?
Salvage ship girls?
Is there some new news about salvaging ship girls appearing on the Admiral Forum?
And it's the kind of thing that can confirm the safety of the salvaged ship girl?
Xiao Bai seemed to be deep in thought.
Xiaobai didn't have time to check the Admiral Forum this morning, and she left the naval base before Ninglu and Jin Shiqi brought the ship girls to her door.
Therefore, Xiaobai was unable to get any of the latest gossip or comfort from Ning Lu.
So what happened today?
Just as Xiaobai was wondering what was going on, he saw the top ten admirals in front of him chatting with great interest.
"I really didn't expect this, Duan Duan. You're really amazing. I admit defeat this time." Admiral Lian said to Duan Shuiliu.
“…I was just guessing.” Duan Shuiliu shook his head.
"Hahaha! Anyway, it's great that the salvaged ship girl is safe and sound!" Admiral Haoding laughed heartily.
"Not only is the salvaged ship girl unharmed, but she even ran from area 8-4 to area 8-2. I have to say, she's really full of energy..." Admiral Ling shrugged helplessly beside her.
Hearing what the top ten admirals said, Xiaobai's eyes widened instantly.
Eh?
and many more……
Montana...went to the 8-2 area? ??
Chapter 2964 The Lively 8-4
Listening to the words of the admirals present, Xiaobai looked at the sea surface in the 8-4 area with great surprise.
Last night, Xiaobai clearly remembered seeing Montana's figure in the depths of the sea at 8-4, and even having a very close conversation with her.
How could Montana have disappeared from the 8-4 area and moved to the 8-2 area in just one night?
Is she really that fast?
"Admiral Lu Lin, why do you look like you've heard some earth-shattering news?"
Just then, Admiral Haoding, who was chatting with the others, noticed Xiaobai's actions.
"Ah...uh...no, no...well, not really..." Xiaobai gave the top ten admirals a wry smile. After thinking for a while, she said to Admiral Haoding, "Admiral Haoding, speaking of which, are you sure the ship girls that appeared in the 8-2 area are salvage ship girls?"
"Oh—so that's what Admiral Lu Lin is worried about!" Admiral Hao Ding suddenly realized, and he laughed and nodded, saying, "Yes! Admiral Lu Lin's concerns are very reasonable!"
"But little cutie, don't worry, this ship girl who appeared in 8-2 can only be a salvage ship girl," Admiral Lian said from the side.
"why?"
"Because the admirals in area 8-2 are currently busy challenging this salvaged ship girl." Before Admiral Lian could speak, Admiral Ling interrupted, smiling and holding up a finger to Xiaobai. "Hehe, before you came, little cutie, we were constantly refreshing the admiral forums. Ever since the salvaged ship girl appeared over there, the admirals in area 8-2 have been going crazy to challenge her. And guess what? So many admirals and ship girls went up for a battle, but not a single one could even scratch the salvaged ship girl—the only ship girl who can fight at this level is the salvaged ship girl!"
"The salvage ship girl appeared in 8-2 after the sea area was opened, and forty minutes have passed since then." Duan Shuiliu reminded Xiaobai, "In just forty minutes, the salvage ship girl has accepted challenges from more than fifty naval bases, including many of the top 100 naval bases, but none of them have succeeded in their challenge."
"Look at what Duan Duan is saying. If someone succeeds in the challenge, won't the salvage ship girls be taken away by someone else?" Admiral Lian pouted and said.
"Hahaha! Now that everyone's here, admirals, shall we proceed with our usual raid on Sea Area 8-4, or perhaps join the fun in Sea Area 8-2?" Admiral Haoding asked with a smile, seeking everyone's opinion.
"Me! Me! Me! Me! I'll go to 8-2! I'll go to 8-2!" Admiral Lian hurriedly raised his hand and jumped up and down on the spot.
"Why don't we all go take a look? Ren and I both want to try salvaging ship girls." Admiral Ling nodded and asked the others, "Duan Duan? What about you?"
“I can,” Duan Shuiliu replied.
"The minority shall obey the majority! Since so many of us have decided to go to area 8-2 to see how to salvage ship girls, let's set off now!" Admiral Lian excitedly raised her fist and stuck out her tongue at Nanxing and Xiaobai, "Hehe, cuties, Nanxing, it'll be hard for you two to come with us this time!"
"Uh... I, I'm fine with going anywhere..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek awkwardly and smiled at everyone.
“…” Nanxing didn’t speak, she just blinked and then nodded.
The admirals quickly gathered their ship girls and left the 8-4 area, heading towards the entrance of the area.
On the way away from the beach, Xiaobai felt Nanxing slowly approaching from behind him again.
Xiao Bai turned around and saw Nan Xing quietly following behind her. She didn't look at Xiao Bai, but her gaze lingered on Xiao Bai's feet, like a silent little follower.
Ok……
Given Nanxing's older sister figure, the description "little follower" might seem a bit odd.
"Sister Nanxing," Xiaobai extended her hand to Nanxing, "Want to come together?"
"Mmm." Nanxing responded, reached out and took Xiaobai's hand, took two quick steps, and came to Xiaobai's side.
"Sister Nanxing, when we were talking about salvaging ship girls before, you didn't seem to say a word even once..." Xiaobai held Nanxing's hand, feeling the soft touch from her palm, and asked Nanxing, "Sister Nanxing, are you not interested in salvaging ship girls?"
“…Hmm.” Nanxing looked at Xiaobai and nodded.
Looking at it this way, Nanxing seems to be the only one among the top ten admirals who doesn't plan to pursue salvaging ship girls.
"Salvaged ship girls are really powerful," Xiaobai said subconsciously to Nanxing. "Obtaining a naval base with salvaged ship girls will greatly increase our strength, right?"
“I should…” Nanxing lowered her gaze and replied weakly.
"Then why don't you want to salvage the ship girls, Nanxing-jie?"
“…Strangers…I’m not good at it.” Nanxing tightened her grip on Xiaobai’s hand, raised her other hand, and nervously pinched the zipper of her full neckline. Her lips slowly parted as she said, “…If it were building ship girls, it might be a little better, but this is a complete stranger, and I…I’m not good at it.”
“…Uh?” Xiaobai tilted her head.
Nanxing looked at Xiaobai somewhat awkwardly.
Xiao Bai and Nan Xing looked at each other for a while, then Xiao Bai nodded knowingly and gave her a helpless smile.
“Okay, Sister Nanxing,” Xiaobai said.
It seems that the reason why Nanxing doesn't want to pursue salvage ship girls is not because she doesn't want powerful ship girls. She simply has a somewhat introverted personality and is rather averse to interacting with unfamiliar ship girls who wander around.
Well, although this reason sounds a bit abstract, it doesn't seem so far-fetched when applied to Nanxing.
After all, Xiaobai had heard from Admiral Lian that it took Admiral Nanxing several years to become familiar with the top ten admirals. Before that, she didn't even say a word to the other top ten admirals.
"Sister Nanxing, the people who salvage ship girls are very kind." Xiaobai turned to the side as they walked, patted the back of Nanxing's hand, and encouraged her.
"...Do you want to salvage ship girls?" Nanxing looked at Xiaobai, her gaze shifting for a moment before she asked.
"Huh? Me?" Xiaobai was stunned, and she subconsciously replied, "Yes."
“…Then I can help you.” Nanxing said to Xiaobai as if she had made a great decision, “I will challenge the ship girl to be salvaged. If I win, I will bring her to you.”
"Uh... well, that's not necessary..." Xiaobai was amused by Nanxing's serious expression. "I will fight for the ship girls I want myself. And if you really do that, it would be very impolite to salvage ship girls - ship girls are not gifts that admirals can just give to each other."
"……Understood."
Nanxing listened to Xiaobai's words, paused for a moment, her eyes rippled with emotion, and then nodded with deep feeling.
"Sister Nanxing, what's wrong?"
"……without."
Nanxing and Xiaobai's conversation ended.
The two remained hand in hand, walking at the very back of the group of the top ten admirals.
However, after saying that, Nanxing seemed to hold Xiaobai's hand even tighter.
When Xiaobai and the top ten admirals left the 8-4 sea area, the entrance to the 8-4 sea area was packed with admirals and ship girls.
The group of admirals seemed eager to venture into the 8-4 sea area to investigate, but lacking the necessary permits, they were kept at bay by the gatekeepers of the Admirals' Guild, waiting anxiously.
As more and more people blocked the entrance to the 8-4 sea area, the pressure on the gatekeepers gradually increased.
