Elder brother's garrison

However, it is quite reasonable.

After all, these deep-sea phoenixes are beings that grow directly in Xiaobai's mental world. All the knowledge Xiaobai has learned in her life, and everything she has seen and remembered, will become a shared database for the deep-sea phoenixes. It is quite normal that their level of education is higher than that of the other deep-sea deans.

Xiaobai flipped through a few pages. The notebook mainly contained a wide variety of food and daily necessities, as well as some entertainment items that could be used without electricity. In addition, there were some necessities for artistic work, such as paper and pens. Xiaobai thought these requirements were reasonable, so she stopped looking at them and handed the notebook to Chaoda.

"Super Yamato, could you please send this notebook to Lexington for me tomorrow? I'd like her to help prepare these supplies."

"I can do it today," Chao Dahe said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and panting.

“…You should rest today,” Xiaobai said.

“…Okay.” Chao Da and Xiao Bai listened to her very much. She hugged the laptop and nodded.

Today's overseas exploration has been quite bumpy, but overall, it has been very profitable.

Shiro was granted a sea-based fiefdom belonging to the newbie naval base, and the Deep Sea Taihou finally had a home in the real world, no longer needing to stay inside Shiro's body and seek happiness in the virtual world.

As for those Deep Sea Taihou who are still working as personal maids in the newbie naval base... Shiro also thought about going back and asking them if they wanted to come too, and she could bring them along.

Of course.

Based on what I know so far, the ship girls in the newbie naval base actually have a very good relationship with the Abyssal Taihou maids. They seem to be inseparable from each other. Although I have considered bringing them here, it is highly unlikely that many of the Abyssal Taihou maids would be willing to leave their ship girl friends behind to come here and start a new adventure.

After calming down all the deep-sea Taihou, Xiaobai left the deep-sea city with Mega Yamato and Missouri and returned to the temporary naval base.

The figures of Xiaobai and the other two disappeared.

A large group of deep-sea phoenixes stared intently at the ground where Xiaobai had been standing, and then looked around at the dilapidated buildings.

A deep-sea giant phoenix arrived beside the dilapidated building. She stretched out her hand, her body surging with deep-sea energy, and then with a snap, she tore off a brick.

The Deep Sea Giant Phoenix weighed the building materials in its arms, then turned around and gave the other Deep Sea Giant Phoenixes a thumbs up.

wow-

The deep-sea giant phoenixes turned their heads in unison, then lined up in neat squares, raising their arms as if silently chanting slogans.

The deep-sea giants seem to have made a decision.

Chapter 3522 A Visitor in the Night

The idea of ​​settling the deep-sea giants in the deep-sea city was a sudden inspiration from Xiaobai, but it was also a well-thought-out decision.

Compared to the cramped, dark, and mysterious ocean, the deep-sea city, with its larger and more spacious area and the ability to at least see the sun and moon, should be a more suitable home for the deep-sea giants.

Xiao Bai thought it was a good thing to let the deep-sea phoenixes in their spiritual world come out for some fresh air. Although the spiritual world was nice, it was still an illusion no matter how beautiful the life was. It wasn't good for their bodies to stay in the mysterious sea all the time. For example, what if these bodies suddenly developed sentience? That would be difficult to deal with. Although Xiao Bai thought the probability of this happening was almost zero, there were often similar plots in the novels she had read.

Through the vortex portal, Little White Missouri and the three returned to the temporary naval base.

It was already late at night when the three returned to the temporary garrison.

The air in the temporary garrison was filled with the chill of the night, the moon and stars in the sky, and dark clouds appearing and disappearing intermittently.

At this time of day, most of the ship girls in the temporary naval base had already gone to rest, and the entire temporary naval base was quiet, as if only Xiaobai and the other two were still awake.

"Super Yamato, remember to rest when you get back." As the three of them returned to the dormitory building, Xiaobai instructed Missouri and Super Yamato.

"Understood, Admiral." Super Yamato nodded, then looked at Shiro and asked, "Admiral, are we going to the deep-sea city to transport goods again tomorrow?"

“Yeah…it’ll probably take several days,” Xiaobai said, then added to Chaoda, “If you feel tired, we can rest for a while and continue when you feel better.”

"..." Chao Yamato quickly shook her head and said to Xiaobai, "I'm fine, Admiral."

"I see..." Xiaobai looked at Chao Yahe with relief and gratitude, stepped forward and took her hand, "Thank you."

Super Big blushed slightly, nodded, bowed to Little White and Missouri, and then turned to leave.

"Then, Admiral, Missouri should go back and rest too." After Chao Yamato left, Missouri smiled at Xiaobai and said, "It's getting late, Admiral, remember to rest as well. Go back and go to bed early so you can make it to work the next day."

"Ah... um." Xiaobai nodded to Missouri, her eyes slightly shy.

Actually, Xiaobai just wanted to ask Missouri if she wanted to go back to the dorm with her, but Missouri seemed to be able to read Xiaobai's mind and spoke her answer before Xiaobai could, making Xiaobai feel embarrassed that her little thoughts had been exposed.

Indeed... It's quite late now. If we really bring Missouri back to the dorm, Xiaobai probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

Xiaobai watched Missouri walk into the dormitory building and disappear inside.

In the darkness, Xiaobai stood alone outside the dormitory building, letting out a long, dejected sigh.

"Sigh... tonight... I'm so lonely."

Xiao Bai muttered to himself, glancing at the full moon in the sky.

After seeing Missouri and Super Yamato off, Xiaobai suddenly felt a little hungry. Instead of returning to her dormitory immediately, she went to the kitchen of the temporary naval base's canteen and found some steamed buns and other things to fill her stomach.

While eating steamed buns, Xiaobai returned to the foot of the dormitory building, ready to go back to her dormitory to sleep. Her foot had just lifted up when it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"……Um?"

Little White, with a steamed bun in its mouth, looked curiously in the direction of the temporary garrison gate.

Just now, Xiaobai seemed to hear someone knocking on the gate of the temporary garrison.

At this hour... someone is knocking on the door?

Xiao Bai, with a steamed bun in her mouth, thought for a while. She was so curious that she couldn't help but look up at the sky a few more times.

Ok……

We probably shouldn't bother with guests this late...

The ship girls on night patrol will likely help send the guest away if they see him knocking on the door.

Thinking this, Xiaobai instinctively released his Admiral Network, spreading it towards the distant gate of the temporary naval base.

Through the admiral network, Xiaobai quickly discerned the appearance of the guest who knocked on the door late at night—it was a ship girl, tall and alone.

It's not unusual for a ship girl to suddenly knock on the door late at night, but when Xiaobai saw the ship girl's appearance through the admiral's network, her eyes widened in surprise.

Because the ship girl who knocked on the door... was actually an acquaintance of Xiaobai!

"Eh? Miss Divine Eagle?!"

Xiaobai stopped in her tracks as she was heading back to her dormitory and curiously walked towards the gate of the temporary garrison.

……

Meanwhile, in front of the temporary garrison headquarters.

Shenying stood alone in the cold night, in front of the gate of the temporary garrison, her finger just having moved away from the bell in front of the gate.

The moonlight shone on the eagle's face, and the interplay of three-dimensional white light and shadow made her expression appear very complex and worried.

"Will anyone be here at this time...?"

Shenying muttered to herself, her gaze sweeping to both sides. She saw beams of light moving like flashlights inside the temporary naval base; those were probably the ship girls on night patrol.

If the patrolling ship girls see me knocking on their door late at night, they'll probably assume I'm disturbing their sleep and ask me to leave.

Shenying thought silently. She waited for a while with her head down in front of the door. When she saw that the door was still tightly closed and unmoving, a look of disappointment appeared in her eyes. She turned around and prepared to leave.

But just as she turned around...

Gala————

The heavy gates of the temporary garrison were pushed open.

The heavy door panel dragged on the ground, making a faint tremor. The divine eagle stopped and looked back in surprise.

Under the moonlight, a white-haired girl in white stood in the center of the doorway, her hands still in the position of pushing the door open. When she saw herself, a look of surprise quickly filled her dark golden eyes.

"Hey... isn't this Miss Shenying? Coming to visit so late?"

Xiaobai lowered her hand, looked at the stunned figure, and walked out with a smile.

"President Lu, President Lu Lin... how is it you?" Shen Ying's face was filled with unconcealed confusion.

"What are you saying? You knocked on my door, but it wasn't me who came out," Xiaobai said with a smile, speaking softly.

"But...it's so late, aren't you resting? I thought it was a ship girl on night patrol opening the door..."

"Ah... I just woke up." Xiaobai nodded. "As for the ship girls on night patrol, they were just about to open the door, but I told them to go somewhere else."

"Oh..." the divine eagle suddenly realized.

"Miss Divine Eagle, so what brings you to my door so late at night?" Xiao Bai continued to ask Divine Eagle.

Chapter 3523 The Missing Wailing Girl

"Miss Divine Eagle, so what brings you to my door so late?" Little White continued to ask Divine Eagle. "You can't really be here for dinner, can you?"

Xiao Bai was quite interested in the purpose of Shen Ying's visit.

After all, when Shenying was working at the Admiral's Guild, Xiaobai rarely saw her. Every time he finally saw her, her Admiral Luo Yingying would always intentionally or unintentionally block his and her from view, leaving him with few opportunities to talk to Shenying.

Xiao Bai did tell Shen Ying and Luo Yingying that they could visit the temporary garrison when they had time, and that she would treat them to a meal, but she never expected that Shen Ying's so-called "when they had time" would be at this strange time.

And more importantly...

Miss Luo Yingying didn't come with her?

Xiao Bai glanced around and found that there was indeed only one person, Shen Ying, standing in front of the temporary garrison.

The Divine Eagle stared blankly at Little White. Only after Little White asked the question did she seem to finally remember her purpose, and her expression quickly became serious.

"Admiral Lu Lin, let's get straight to the point." Shenying turned around and quickly said to Xiaobai, "I came to see you tonight because... my admiral has gone missing."

"Oh, so that's what it is..." Xiaobai nodded subconsciously, but a moment later, she immediately realized something was wrong, and her eyes became somewhat confused. "Huh? Wait, what did you say? Miss Yingying has disappeared?"

“Yes.” The Divine Eagle nodded, his eyes revealing his tension and seriousness.

……

Under the cold night sky, Xiaobai and Shenying left the temporary garrison and sped towards the Admiral's Guild.

While traveling, Xiaobai turned his head to ask the divine eagle beside him a question.

"Miss Divine Eagle, please tell me again in detail the circumstances and causes of Miss Yingying's disappearance, and see if there are any details that need to be added."

“Okay.” Shenying nodded. She thought for a moment, then pointed to the street where the two of them were. “This afternoon, when the Admiral’s Guild closed, the Admiral and I left the naval base to return to our respective dormitories…”

"Aren't your residences different?"

“Well, I live in the ship girl dormitory, and the admiral lives in a small inn. After we left the temporary naval base, our routes were exactly opposite.” Shenying explained to Xiaobai, “My admiral did not purchase a temporary naval base... In fact, there are only two of us now, so we usually live in our own places and only meet when we go to work.”

"I see." Xiaobai nodded. "Since you can only meet during work hours, how did you discover that your admiral was missing?"

“It’s like this, every night before I go to sleep, I report the security situation to the Admiral.” Shenying’s voice was calm as he said this, but his gaze seemed to shift for a moment. “For example… whether I’ve been approached by admirals from other naval bases with questionable conduct, or attended banquets hosted by admirals with ill intentions…”

“That’s true, that’s good.” Xiaobai seemed not to understand the meaning behind Shenying’s words at all. She nodded and said sincerely, “After all, you and your admiral live separately. You should be careful of other admirals who have ill intentions towards you.”

Xiao Bai's gaze was so pure and sincere.

The Divine Eagle looked at Little White and nodded silently.

“I discovered the reason for the Admiral’s disappearance is… tonight, about ten minutes ago, I was preparing my work documents for the next day and getting ready to go to sleep, so I sent the Admiral a message about my situation,” Shenying continued to explain. “But after I sent the message, she didn’t reply at all, and my message was simply not read and showed as unread.”

"Is it possible that she's asleep?"

"Impossible, the admiral won't sleep until he sees my message."

"They have such a good relationship," Xiaobai exclaimed. "Did you go to Miss Yingying's inn to look for her later?"

“We’ve looked, but no one’s there.” Shenying shook his head. “Besides, there’s no sign of her returning to the room. The admiral hasn’t been back to her hotel since she got off work today.”

"It seems they really are missing..." Xiaobai murmured softly upon hearing this.

"..." The divine eagle didn't speak, but kept its head down as it traveled, seemingly lost in thought.

Xiao Bai looked at the profile of the Divine Eagle. She rarely saw such obvious concern and worry on the usually calm and indifferent Divine Eagle's face.

Ship girls, huh...

What ship girl wouldn't care about her admiral?

Xiaobai smiled at the divine eagle, clenched her fist, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Miss Divine Eagle, I will definitely help you find Miss Yingying safe and sound!"

"...Thank you, President Lu Lin."

"No need to thank me, you're my employees too. In a sense, it's just my job." Xiaobai nodded with a smile, but then she asked with a smile, "Ah... speaking of which, I didn't expect you to contact me immediately after the Admiral went missing... I'm a little surprised, usually when someone goes missing, you call the police, right?"

"Aren't you a police officer?" Shenying looked at Xiaobai.

"That makes sense," Xiaobai nodded.

Xiao Bai is now the guild leader of Chapter 8, and in this field, there is indeed no one with a higher official rank than Xiao Bai.
