Elder brother's garrison

"Crench!"

The research and construction machine retracted its tentacles, and smiley faces began to appear on the screen.

"You really are elusive." Xiaobai smiled at the research and construction machine. She didn't seem to mind its appearance too much. She wiped the water droplets off her phone, placed it on the steps, and continued to say to the machine, "Hey, I'm starting to feel less and less surprised to see you anywhere."

"Crench!"

"You must have arrived here before me, right?"

"crunch-"

"What's wrong? Do you also have ship equipment that needs repair?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

“(??*)”

"Okay, okay, I know, I know." Xiaobai raised her hand and touched the screen of the scientific research construction machine. "You can stay here as long as you want. Anyway, Sister Nanxing isn't here today, so I'll have someone to talk to and won't be too lonely."

“☆(?*)?”

The scientific research and construction machine started moving with a creaking sound. Its huge mechanical body moved in the repair pool, and with its movement, wave after wave of water lapped against Xiaobai's chest.

Is this considered... swimming?

As Xiaobai watched the research and construction machine speeding through the repair pool, he thought to himself.

As Xiaobai was thinking, she stared at the body of the research and construction machine, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, and then she tilted her head.

Um……?

Is it an illusion?

Why does the research and construction machine seem a bit sluggish than before?

The research and construction equipment proactively came to soak in the repair pool...

Could it be that……

"A scientific research and construction machine," Xiaobai said.

"Creak?" The research and construction machine stopped and turned to look at Little White.

"Um... just wondering, have you been injured recently?" Xiaobai asked. "If you have, please tell me as soon as possible."

"Squeak?" A large question mark appeared on the screen of the research and construction machine.

"Ah...it's nothing, never mind." Seeing the bewildered look on the research and construction machine's face, Xiaobai smiled and shook her head. "I must have been mistaken."

"crunch-"

The research and construction machine made a sound and continued to paddle on the water.

Feeling waves crashing against her chest, Xiaobai raised her hand, grabbed her phone from the side, turned on the screen, and continued browsing the Admiral Forum.

On the Admiral Forum, there have been countless thousands, even tens of thousands, of posts speculating and deducing about Montana's abilities.

Actually, no one in the entire forum understands Montana better than Xiaobai right now, but Xiaobai really doesn't have a way to defeat her. Browsing the Admiral Forum is a way for Xiaobai to pass the time during this period of thinking.

"Sigh, Montana is too strong, and the other special ship girls can't attack her. Isn't this just bullying her..."

Little White muttered to himself.

"crunch-"

The scientific research and construction machine responded.

"Huh? There are actually posts on the Admiral's Forum today besides the Montana topic?" Xiaobai looked at his phone in surprise.

On her phone screen, Xiaobai browsed the Admiral Forum and found several posts that mentioned other topics. Originally, these posts, which were unrelated to salvaging ship girls, should have been quickly swept down and disappeared at this time. However, surprisingly, these two posts were not swept down but instead became somewhat popular.

The post was titled... "Last night, my ship girl was attacked."

Xiaobai clicked on the post.

The person who started the post was an ordinary admiral in Chapter 8, whose world ranking was around a few hundred meters, neither good nor bad.

The post was quite simple. It said that the ship girls he sent out on patrol last night had not returned by this morning. Since they were in the city of Chapter 8, he initially thought they had gone off somewhere to play, so he didn't think much of it. But when it was noon, the ship girls didn't return, and instead, people from the Admiral's Guild came to his door first.

This morning, the Admiral's Guild found three ship girls who had been placed at a stall by an unknown person at the lost and found office.

All three ship girls had lost consciousness, and their ship suits were completely damaged. Fortunately, some cloth had been wrapped around them, and the three of them huddled together like three cocoons.

The Cocoon Ship Girls didn't wake up until noon today. Under their guidance, the Admiral's Guild finally made contact with their Admiral.

After that, the post just contained some pictures.

The admiral who posted this message described how good his relationship with his ship girls was, how he and his ship girls supported each other step by step to grow into the admiral of the eighth chapter. Although the ship girls only had damaged equipment and were currently soaking in the repair pool to repair it, no matter what kind of being dared to attack his ship girls, even if it was just a prank, he would definitely do his best to find the culprit.

The comments below the post were mostly sarcastic remarks like "self-directed and self-acted" and "bad job".

However, a small number of admirals also said that their ship girls encountered a similar situation last night.

Hmm... at least from this perspective, this post doesn't seem to have any elements that could make it popular.

Xiao Bai looked at the bland post content, lost in thought.

Xiaobai continued scrolling down.

Suddenly, a post with over a thousand replies caught Xiaobai's attention.

That was a piece of information added by the original poster of this thread.

"Breaking news! I tried feeding the ship girls the quick repair device, but the repair failed! You all know what I mean!"

Xiaobai was stunned when he saw this.

"Huh? The rapid repair device failed to repair... Could it be..."

Xiao Bai put down his phone and looked at the research and construction machine that was swimming in front of him.

Xiao Bai squinted his eyes.

"A scientific research and construction machine," Xiaobai said.

"Squeak?" The research and construction machine stopped.

The crashing waves stopped.

"Research Construction Machine, did you go out last night?" Little White asked, staring at the Research Construction Machine.

“(；oo)!!!”

The screen of the scientific research construction machine flickered with light.

The vivid sweating icons appeared one by one on the screen.

Xiao Bai raised his phone and spoke to the research and construction machine.

"I saw on the admiral forum that someone said their ship girl was attacked by a research and construction machine... I don't know if it's true or not, but... it shouldn't be you, right?"

""

The research and construction machine remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Xiaobai finally understood what was going on. She sighed and spoke to the research and construction machine.

"Scientific research and construction machine, how could you..."

"boom!!!"

Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, there was a splash as the research and construction machine leaped out of the pool.

The water in the restoration pool suddenly shot into the sky with a whoosh.

The research and construction machine and the repair fluid passed over Xiaobai's body and landed outside the repair pool.

"Crunch... crunch! Crunch crunch!"

The research and construction machine turned around, made a series of hand gestures at Xiaobai, and then a vivid symbol appeared on the screen. It then transformed into a black phantom and disappeared from the repair hall in a flash.

"(

Xiao Bai sat in the pool where only half of the repair fluid remained, staring blankly in the direction where the research and construction machine had disappeared.

Xiao Bai's hand holding the phone was even suspended in mid-air.

"Uh... ah?" Xiaobai blinked, it took her several seconds to realize that the research construction machine had escaped. "Eh? What happened? I wasn't planning to punish you..."

Xiao Bai quickly got up and chased after him.

……

Swish swish swish————

The research and construction machine sped out of the repair bath.

Outside the repaired bathtub, two ship girls from Nia's family were cleaning the lawn.

"Huh? Isn't this a research and construction machine? Why is it so busy—"

"oops!"

The two ship girls saw the research and construction machine and were just about to greet it when, with a whoosh, the research and construction machine swept past them like a gust of wind.

The strong wind blew the two ship girls off their feet, causing them to sit on the ground.

"Ugh?"

"Eh?"

The two ship girls stared blankly at each other.

"Fa, what happened?"

However, before the two ship girls could understand the current situation, another delicate voice rang out from the repair bath.

"Have you seen the research and construction machine?!"

The ship girls all turned to look.

Little White, disheveled and clutching her half-dry clothes, staggered out as she chased after them, her beautiful hair streaked with water.

The ship girls' eyes widened immediately.

……

"===*!!!"

The research and construction machine transformed into a black shadow and swiftly left the temporary garrison.

The research and construction machine transformed into a phantom, took out the concealment outfit it had made yesterday, draped it over its body with its tentacles, and appeared on the street in a few flashes.

On the streets, ship girls and admirals came and went in an endless stream.

The research and construction machine, cloaked and with its bulky, enormous body, stared at the endless stream of ship girls on the street, halting its escape.

One by one, spirited ship girls passed by in small groups.

The research and construction machine quietly watched the ship girls on the street, its body trembling slowly.

“(????)”

"..."

“(;)”

"..."

“(????)”

"..."

“(;)”

The research and construction machine's screen kept flashing, then it quickly disappeared into a side path, running headlong ahead until it vanished from sight.

Two ship girls were chatting in the alley.

"Did you know? The research and construction machine is said to have made its move last night. My admiral even went to ask about the routes taken by the ship girls who were attacked yesterday, and found out that they were all attacked in the back alleys."

"Oh? So that's why the Admiral sent the two of us here? We're bait?"

"That's not accurate. We're both bait and hunters. We're different from other ship girls; we're top-tier ship girls with maxed-out combat power. No matter how powerful a mere construction machine is, it can't possibly catch us..."

As the two ship girls were talking, they suddenly turned their heads and saw a bulky black figure running towards them.

The figure ran incredibly fast, its camouflage no longer concealing its form, revealing a metallic image and a large display screen.
