Elder brother's garrison

But no matter what.

Within safe waters, it is impossible for deep-sea aura to appear out of thin air.

Generally, most incidents of pollution in safe waters are caused by the intrusion of foreign deep-sea amphibious vessels.

Sometimes there's nothing we can do about invasive species.

After all, the world is connected. Although deep-sea amphibious ships are generally reluctant to leave their home deep-sea areas, with a large number of deep-sea amphibious ships, it is inevitable that some of them will have some bizarre ideas, such as "the world is so big, I want to go and see it".

of course.

Generally speaking, any deep-sea amphibious ships that dare to leave their homeland and companions, cutting off their own escape route and status to fight for themselves, will almost always end up with a tragic fate.

- Exactly.

I'm talking about Pachina, that disgraceful dean.

On the black reef.

After observing the deep-sea atmosphere on the surface of the sea for a while, Xiaobai quietly withdrew its gaze.

He had just looked away.

Xiao Bai suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her face.

Xiao Bai turned his head to look to one side.

The great Pompeii was holding his face in his hands, staring intently at his own face with great interest.

"Huh? Pompeii?"

“You’re really lost in thought as you look at the sea. You shouldn’t be able to see anything with the human eye,” Pompeii said with a smile to Little White. “You’re really serious and responsible. You’re quite an interesting admiral.”

"Uh..." Little White didn't know how to explain to Pompeii. She scratched her cheek. "Pompeii, don't look at me. Look at the sea too..."

"We ship girls don't need to look around. As long as we stay in a place with a wide field of vision, we can detect the appearance of deep-sea amphibious ships on the sea surface immediately."

"Uh...that's true." Xiaobai smiled.

Just then, Xiaobai's phone vibrated.

Pompeii covered his head, turned around, and gestured to everyone that we're all modern people, and we understand that answering phone messages is beyond our control. Do as you please.

Xiao Bai smiled at Pompeii and took out his phone to check it.

The phone screen showed chat messages from Missouri.

"We've already bought breakfast and returned to the inn. Where is the Admiral now?"

The information screen also included a picture of Missouri carrying a large bag of fried dough sticks, soy milk, and xiaolongbao.

"Ah, speaking of which, I've been chatting with Pompeii the whole way here and haven't had time to tell Missouri..." Xiaobai exclaimed and quickly started typing, telling Missouri about her situation in the reply interface.

"Admiral Xiaobai? Did you just call me?" Pompey leaned forward as he turned around.

"Huh? No, no." Xiaobai shook her head, looking at Pompeii's profile, and thought for a moment, "Oh right, Pompeii, have you had breakfast?"

"Breakfast? Buying breakfast is too much trouble. Anyway, I'm a ship girl, so it's okay if I don't eat breakfast."

"You can't skip breakfast. Pompeii, if you don't mind, how about you eat with us later?"

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"sure."

"Thank you, I'll pay!" Pompeii smiled. "But is it okay if I'm the only one having breakfast?"

"Well..." Xiaobai murmured, glancing down at the chat interface with Missouri.

“Missouri has already handed over Zara’s portion. If the Admiral doesn’t mind, please invite Pompeii and Kyouka to join us as well. Missouri and Iowa bought breakfast for ten people this time.”

The message from Missouri was accompanied by a picture.

It shows Iowa and Wisconsin each carrying a large bag of breakfast snacks.

—As expected, Missouri always thinks more thoroughly than anyone else when it comes to interpersonal relationships.

It's so great that Missouri is my own ship girl.

Xiao Bai held her phone, touched, and sent a "Understood" message before turning off the screen.

"Pompeii, it's okay. My ship girl bought breakfast for many people," Xiaobai said.

"Wow!" Pompeii clapped.

Xiao Bai put away her phone and looked down at the black reef.

Missouri not only prepared breakfast for herself and Zara Pompeii, but also thoughtfully prepared breakfast for Jinghua and her teacher. Now Xiaobai doesn't know if Jinghua and her teacher are awake or not, but she'll have to knock on their door first.

"Pompeii, can you take me down? We brought breakfast for Jinghua and the others, we need to go call them." Xiaobai thought for a while. Although she could jump down by herself, she felt it wasn't appropriate to do so now, so she chose to take the Pompeii train.

“Okay.” Pompeii’s eyebrows twitched, and she bent down, picked up Little White, and jumped off the Black Reef.

The two landed steadily.

The Black Reef patrolled by Pompeii was located not far from Jinghua's house.

Xiao Bai walked towards Jing Hua's house. After taking only two steps, he heard footsteps behind him.

Pompeii followed behind Little White with an air of entitlement.

"Pompeii? Uh...aren't you going to stay on the Black Reef and observe the sea?"

"Me? Hmm... It's unlikely that there will be any Abyssal Fleet ships on the surface these days, right? Leaving for a while should be fine." Pompeii spoke the truth, sticking out his tongue at Admiral Xiaobai, "Besides, I think being with you, Admiral Xiaobai, is much more interesting than anywhere else."

"……what?"

"hey-hey."

"..." Xiaobai was confused.

It wasn't until now that Xiaobai finally realized this.

In any case, Pompeii's level of intimacy with himself was simply too high.

Is it...

Did Pompeii really like her?

Little White did not refuse Pompeii's request to follow him.

Lost in thought.

Xiaobai and Pompeii hurried towards Jinghua's house.

Just like when Xiaobai passed by, the door to Jinghua's house was still tightly shut.

Xiaobai stood at the door, about to raise her hand to knock, but then thought that it wouldn't be good to disturb someone's sleep, so she stood at the door, activated her ship girl hearing, and listened carefully to the sounds inside.

If Kyoka and her teacher were fast asleep, they should be able to hear some breathing sounds.

Xiao Bai listened for a long time.

Inside Jinghua's house, everything was quiet.

There was absolutely no sound.

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Was there no one inside?" Xiaobai turned around, looking in confusion down the street.

Where would a middle school student and an elderly person go so early in the morning if they weren't at home?

Xiao Bai and Pompeii behind him exchanged a glance.

Just then, Xiaobai, who had activated her ship girl hearing, heard a noisy commotion.

"Admiral Xiaobai, what's wrong?" Pompey asked Xiaobai.

"Pompeii, there's no one in this room."

"Nobody here?" Pompeii seemed quite surprised.

"But let's put that aside for now. Pompeii, listen carefully, isn't there some noise coming from somewhere?" Little White asked the great Pompeii.

"Noisy?" Pompeii paused, narrowed her eyes, hesitated for a moment, then widened them. "Oh, it really is... Eh? I had to tune my hearing to the highest level for a ship girl to barely hear the noise in the city center. How did you manage to..."

"Maybe Jinghua and the others are over there, let's go check it out!" Xiaobai grabbed Pompeii's hand and ran towards the sound source.

The source of the sound is probably at a street corner not far from here, a little closer to the center of the village.

Now that they knew the location, Little White and Pompeii jogged towards the center of the village.

As Little White and Pompeii approached the center of the village.

The noise mixed in with the crowd gradually became clearer.

In the midst of the noise, Xiaobai vaguely heard a passionate speech.

Ok?

speech?

As Xiaobai was wondering, she and Pompeii turned a bend leading to the center of the village.

At the end of the street leading to the center of the village, in the direction of a notice board, a group of villagers were gathered together, surrounding another group of people dressed in strange clothes.

The phrase "strange attire" refers to women dressed in mostly unusual or revealing clothing.

Most of these women were beautiful and stood gracefully in place, surrounding one person. In front of them, surrounded by the women, was a clean-dressed young man facing the surrounding villagers, with his arms outstretched, giving a passionate speech.

"Since the beginning of humankind's millennia-long history, the Abyssal Fleet has wreaked havoc on our homeland generation after generation. Our ancestors endured persecution time and again, struggling to survive in the cracks, all for the sake of leaving us a spark of life. Today, modern humanity still suffers from the persecution of the Abyssal Fleet. The calamities from the ocean have never lessened. Our great admirals are overwhelmed, but it is alright. Besides the admirals, we are here! A great homeland never lacks gardeners willing to sacrifice themselves. Even if we have no sharp blades, we still wield shovels stained with the mud of wisdom! Wherever there is trouble, there we are..."

At the young man's urging, many villagers stared intently at the women behind him, admiring their beautiful and alluring faces and bodies. Unconsciously, they raised their hands and echoed the man's movements.

Sure enough, Xiaobai spotted Jinghua standing with her teacher in a corner where the crowd was gathered.

However, compared to the villagers around them who were raising their hands and shouting, Jinghua and her teacher seemed much calmer, simply watching the man's performance without making any moves.

"Huh? Those people..." Xiaobai looked in surprise at the group of women behind the man.

Surprisingly, most of those women, though weak and frail, were actually ship girls.

"Those people... sigh." Pompeii's headache-stricken grumbling came from beside Xiaobai.

"Pompeii, do you know them?" Xiaobai looked at Pompeii.

"I don't know them, but I know them."

"Who are they?" Xiaobai asked.

"They're mercenaries from a civilian organization," Pompeii sighed, sounding rather helpless.

Chapter 1306 Raising prices on the spot is the mark of a mercenary.

"A civilian organization? Mercenaries?"

Hearing Pompeii's rather troubled voice, Xiaobai couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of organization is that?"

"Oh, right... Admiral Xiaobai, you're a regular admiral with a formal position, so it's normal that you're not familiar with this..."

Looking at the crowd gathered in the distance, Pompeii took a deep breath and explained to Xiaobai with a hint of helplessness, "To put it simply, the so-called mercenaries are actually just the Wild Admiral and his ship girls."

"Huh? Wild Admiral?"

Xiao Bai was stunned by Pompeii's words.

"Admiral Xiaobai, you know that there are basically two types of ship girls, right?"

Pompeii spread out his hands and asked Little White.

"Civilian ship girls and military ship girls, right?"

“You got it right.” Pompeii nodded with a smile. She first clenched her fist and raised it in front of Xiaobai. “The so-called military ship girls are like the ship girls in your house, Admiral Xiaobai. They are built by your regular admirals, have undergone systematic and formal training, and are mainly used to resist maritime disasters.”

At this point, Pompeii gently clenched his other free hand and pointed with his index finger at the scantily clad ship girls gathered in the crowd.

"Civilian ship girls, on the other hand, are ship girls created in human society for various reasons without receiving systematic training. Most of these civilian ship girls initially served in the companies or enterprises that built them, but some gained their freedom for various reasons and traveled the world as ship girls—well, it sounds a bit scary when you say it out loud, but in reality, there are quite a few traveling ship girls in human society that are even slightly coastal." Pompeii said to Xiaobai seriously.

"Oh...oh oh." Xiaobai nodded.

Traveling among ship girls, that's something even a newbie would understand.

Back then, Ambition and Emerald also traveled for a period of time, and Little White's Missouri even traveled through human society for fifty years.

This is understandable for a newbie.

"Next, we'll talk about these ship girls who travel in human society. Ship girls also need to eat, so they need money too. The easiest way for ship girls to make money is to fight deep-sea ships. As the saying goes, a hero needs three helpers. Because these traveling ship girls lack formal training, most of them are of average strength. When they encounter deep-sea disasters while traveling alone, they are powerless to help. So, in order to earn money..."
