Aunt Mei is dead.
A knife to the chest, a knife to the neck.
Gao Le looked up at the artificial lake in front of him, his gaze deep.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Gao Le hissed in the direction of the lake.
As the hisses were heard, bubbles rose from the viscous lake water.
After a while, two slender figures rose from the lake. The two figures slowly climbed ashore, revealing a face with a numb gaze but exquisite features.
This is Aunt Mei's "last trump card" hidden in the artificial lake; she will never trust anyone except Gao Le and Xu An.
Gao Le knew the methods and means to summon and command these corrupted ship girls.
Now that Aunt May is dead, these two corrupted ship girls, who have lost their master, naturally become the targets of Gao Le's obedience.
Gao Le looked at the two ship girls who came to his side.
Gao Le stood up and looked at the dense forest behind him.
Footsteps echoed from deep within the dense forest.
Soon, several figures appeared one after another.
Xiaobai, 1913, Illinois, the unconscious Miao Yan, and about thirty ship girls who looked bewildered but followed Xiaobai instinctively like newborn chicks appeared in Gao Le's field of vision.
When everyone saw the two corpses beneath Gao Le, and then the two corroded ship girls beside him, 1913 and Illinois' expressions hardened. They stood guard in front of Xiaobai, assuming a posture ready for battle.
When Gao Le looked at Xiao Bai, his gaze swept over the awake ship girls beside Xiao Bai. His eyes widened slightly, then slowly returned to normal.
"This place is truly desolate..."
"Admiral, don't look over there!"
The voices of Shiro and the ship girls appeared one after another.
Xiaobai shook her head and patted the two ship girls to indicate that it was alright for now.
"The people over there have lost the will to fight."
Xiaobai stepped out from between the two ship girls, looked at Gao Le who was covered in blood, and stared at her.
"It's really unexpected that things have turned out this way." After thinking for a while, Xiaobai said to Gao Le, "It seems that the environment in your village isn't very good either."
"...It's a good thing she's dead."
As Gao Le spoke, he slowly pulled open his collar and then ran his blood-stained hand through his hair.
Gao Le's hair was an artistic shoulder-length style, but after he scratched it twice with blood, his black hair immediately became more flowing, dancing in the night wind.
Gao Le withdrew his hand, looked at the blood remaining on his fingertips, and then smeared some on his lips.
His lips turned as red as blood in an instant.
After doing all this, Gao Le looked up and looked at Xiao Bai again.
Gao Le's original appearance was rather androgynous, but after some simple treatment, his numb face began to look somewhat feminine.
"..." Xiaobai was surprised. She asked Gao Le, "...So you're a girl?"
“Aunt Mei doesn’t like girls, so after I joined the village, I could only be a boy.” Gao Le put down his hand and said to Xiao Bai in a low voice, “She told me that boys are more obedient, so she poisoned my voice with a drug, made me wear a breast wrap all the time, and forbade me from wearing makeup, buying skirts, or having long hair past my shoulders… Gradually, no one could tell that I was a woman anymore.”
"..." Xiaobai was silent for a while, "Aunt Mei is dead."
“I killed him,” Gao Le said.
“You were one of those kids who were brought here before, weren’t you?” Xiao Bai said to Gao Le. “Now that Aunt Mei is gone, no one is controlling you anymore. You can surrender to us, and perhaps we will treat you leniently after our investigation.”
“…” Gao Le smiled.
Gao Le's lips were bright red at night.
It looked quite distorted and bizarre.
"ask you a question."
"ask."
Do I look like a man or a woman right now?
"..." Xiaobai remained silent.
"..." Gao Le raised his arm and wiped the blood from his lips. He said to Xiao Bai, "It's too late, there's no time. The girl next to you came in late. She still remembers her real name, but I can't remember my original name anymore. I only know that I am called Gao Le now. This name was given to me by Aunt Mei. I am the next village chief of this village."
“You…” Xiaobai began.
But before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Gao Le coldly pointed at her and gave orders to the two ship girls beside him.
"Kill them!"
End of Chapter 3719
The moment Gao Le uttered his command, the two corrosive ship girls beside him immediately looked up, their empty, numb eyes locking onto Xiao Bai.
In a flash, they swiftly turned to the side, bent over, and kicked their legs.
Immediately afterwards, a dull thud rang out, and the soil beneath their feet seemed to explode as if a landmine had been detonated, scattering everywhere. The powerful impact carried the corrosive body of the ship girl, like two cannonballs fired from a gun, rushing swiftly toward Xiaobai.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Before the conscious ship girls behind Xiaobai could even realize the change in the situation, the two murderous corrosive ship girls had already rushed in front of Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai's long, snow-white hair was tousled by the strong winds filled with the atmosphere of the deep sea, while the sharp nails of the two corrosive ship girls were almost touching her skin.
Danger was imminent.
But... that's just the maximum distance the corrosive ship girl can get close to Shiro.
The next moment, 1913 and Illinois appeared as quickly as phantoms. Without hesitation, they each kicked out, instantly sending the corrosive ship girls who were approaching Xiaobai flying.
boom!
A deafening explosion as if the air was being torn apart.
The two corroded ship girls were sent flying backwards.
Their arrival was like a powerful cannonball, and they were kicked back at an extremely fast speed.
The two corrosive ship girls flew back to Gao Le's side and slammed into him.
Gao Le was just a human being. He survived to the end, but he was still just a mortal. Even though 1913 and Illinois did not show any murderous intent in this move, the powerful physical impact still sent Gao Le flying like a dump truck.
Before everyone's eyes, Gao Le spun around in mid-air like a kite with a broken string before landing awkwardly on the shore of the artificial lake.
"Admiral, are you alright?"
After kicking away the corrosive ship girl, Illinois and 1913 immediately turned to Shiro and asked him with concern.
"...I'm fine, thank you."
Xiaobai raised her hand and touched her forehead. She suddenly realized what was going on, and then shook her head at 1913 and Illinois.
Those two corrosive ship girls' fingers almost touched Xiaobai's forehead.
Judging from the physical strength of normal ship girls and the orders they just received, if 1913 and Illinois hadn't stopped them, and if Shiro were just an ordinary human girl, Shiro's head would probably have exploded like a crushed watermelon by now.
However, Shiro isn't an ordinary human girl.
— Xiaobai's defense is such that he can withstand missiles with his bare hands.
Even if Xiaobai stood still and let those two corrosive ship girls ravage her, given their skill level, they probably wouldn't be able to break through Xiaobai's defenses even if they used all their strength.
However, since there are so many civilian ship girls watching over Xiaobai, she can't show off too much power in front of them. So, having 1913 and Illinois holding her back is a good thing for Xiaobai.
Xiaobai turned her gaze away from 1913 and Illinois and looked at Gao Le, who had fallen to the ground in the distance.
Gao Le staggered to his feet.
Gao Le's current appearance is quite tragic. Although 1913 and Illinois did not attack him directly, just being hit by the bodies of the two corroded ship girls has already covered his face with blood, and one side of his face is obviously twisted. He looks extremely weak and disheveled.
Gao Le was bent over, panting. He seemed to be in such a state that even simply standing was futile, but he still persisted, pointing a shaky finger at Xiao Bai.
“…Kill…them…”
A hoarse voice came out.
Upon hearing the order, the corroded ship girl lying on the ground slowly got up.
"Do you think I'd let you get any closer to the Admiral?" Illinois waved her arm, shielding Little White behind her. Her expression gradually turned serious, and a deep emerald light began to burn in the depths of her eyes.
"..." 1913 silently opened her parachute and stood on the other side of Xiaobai. She quietly lowered her head slightly, her serene gaze fixed on the footsteps of the two corrosive ship girls.
The corrosive ship girl doesn't know the word "retreat".
Despite the vast difference in combat strength between the two sides, as long as Gao Le gives the order, the two corrosive ship girls will still charge towards Xiaobai time and time again.
Xiaobai sighed softly as she watched the two corrosive ship girls rushing towards her.
Xiaobai sighed, and a faint mental energy fluctuation spread out from her body. The mental energy fluctuation brushed over the corrosive ship girls' bodies like a gentle breeze. The next moment, the two corrosive ship girls lost consciousness and collapsed in front of 1913 and Illinois.
1913 and Illinois looked at the corroded ship girl lying on the ground, exchanged a glance, and then turned to look at Xiaobai.
"It still has to be the admiral."
Illinois gave Little White a thumbs up.
Xiaobai smiled at Illinois, but she quickly stopped smiling and looked at Gao Le in the distance.
Now, Gao Le's last means of resistance has been completely neutralized by himself...
From a distance, Gao Le watched the fallen corroded ship girl, slowly lowering his arm as his body swayed violently.
Gao Le's black hair obscured his eyes.
Gao Le didn't speak. He just slowly lowered his head, and a relieved smile appeared on his bleeding lips.
Then, Gao Le collapsed.
He gave up resisting under the astonished gazes of the ship girls and fell backward.
Behind Gao Le was a viscous, dark lake filled with the strong scent of the deep sea.
Pfft!
The moonlight, after many twists and turns, shattered and then reformed on the dark, smooth mirror surface.
……
The moment Gao Le threw himself into the lake, Xiao Bai immediately issued orders to the sober ship girls behind her.
The conscious ship girls immediately rushed to the lakeside in a flurry of activity. They jumped into the water and pulled Gao Le's body out of the water.
Gao Le had only been submerged in the lake for a short time; she was far from reaching the bottom, and the ship girls did not spend much effort rescuing her.
However... the seawater, filled with the strong scent of the deep sea, is no different from poison to ordinary people. Sometimes, even just a momentary physical contact is enough to make a strong young man bedridden for a long time.
When the conscious ship girls pulled Goller's body ashore, Xiaobai, under the protection of 1913 and Illinois, came to Goller's "body". She looked at the body, which had been completely invaded by the high concentration of deep-sea aura in an instant, with its skin blackened, festering, and bloody mess. Xiaobai regretfully withdrew her gaze.
—It's hopeless.
The effects of deep-sea air on the human body are already enormous.
Miao Yan was able to withstand the influence of the deep-sea aura until Xiao Bai made his move because she was young, her body cells were highly active, her life force was strong, and she was also exceptionally talented, as well as having a great deal of good luck.
Gao Le was much older than Miao Yan. He didn't have Miao Yan's good fortune. In addition, he had already suffered very serious injuries when he fell into the lake. Even just a moment of immersion could have been fatal for him.
Xiao Bai can indeed dispel the deep-sea aura from Gao Le's body.
But firstly, Xiaobai had no reason to do so.
Judging from Gao Le's behavior just now, he was just a criminal who had been driven to the brink of despair and tried to perish together with Xiao Baiyu.
atrocious.
The crime is unforgivable.
Secondly, even if Xiaobai did this and completely removed the aura of the deep sea, Gao Le's internal organs had already been damaged by the aura of the deep sea, and the remaining injuries on his body were enough to kill him.
Gao Le's unrecognizable body lay before the crowd. His breathing stopped completely within tens of seconds of being pulled ashore.
Gao Le is dead.
After Gao Le died, Illinois gently put her arm around Xiao Bai's shoulder and reached out to cover Xiao Bai's eyes.
"Admiral, stop watching, it's all over."
