Elder brother's garrison

It groaned and roared, burning like a raging fire.

This force compressed within Saratoga's body, then expanded.

Finally, it was like an explosion.

A powerful shockwave emanated from the plane that had taken off from Saratoga, spreading out like a tornado.

— Rumble, rumble, rumble.

With the outbreak of this fluctuation, Saratoga's legs went weak, her face flushed and her body limp, and she collapsed into White's arms.

Starting tomorrow, I'll be updating twice a week, with each update being 3000 words. That way, no one will say my chapters are too short!

Chapter 117 Bus, Saratoga, Extreme Thrill!

Little White, at a loss, hugged Saratoga, who was limp in his arms.

Eh?

Eh hey hey???

What happened?

Luckily, it was a deserted corner. If it were on the street, and someone saw Xiaobai and Saratoga in their current state, they would be in deep trouble.

"Saratoga, are you alright?" Little White quickly looked around.

Although we had already confirmed that no one was there, it's impossible for someone to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Saratoga, panting, grabbed the white shirt off Little White's shoulder.

“…A little less force,” Saratoga said, her eyes glazed over.

Her expression was like that of a wronged young wife.

The regular admiral network has almost no auxiliary functions. Perhaps when it is applied to ship girls, it may have a slight increase in evasion and accuracy, but it is basically better than nothing.

However, Xiaobai's admiral network is different. Her network size is thousands of times that of ordinary admirals. Even if ordinary admirals can only improve the performance of ship girls by one percent, with Xiaobai's thousands of times increase, the increase efficiency is terrifyingly high, reaching one thousand percent, or ten times.

What does this growth rate mean?

It's probably like an ordinary human suddenly being able to jump over ten meters high or kill a cow with a single punch.

—Aside from not being able to shoot lasers from the eyes, it could basically evolve a human into a superhuman.

In that instant, Saratoga felt as if she could take on all the ship girls in the naval base by herself and not lose.

Yes, only for a moment.

Because immediately after that moment, Saratoga's shipboard equipment could no longer withstand such overloaded operation and crashed.

Saratoga, being the human part, was also significantly affected, collapsing as if she had just undergone some intense exercise.

Saratoga has deployed its ship equipment.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—" The ship rigging, which usually rests horizontally behind the ship like a model ship, made a sound like a red-hot iron block being immersed in water as soon as it was released.

Xiao Bai looked over.

After being overloaded, the entire ship rigging was turning an abnormally bright red, and plumes of white smoke were billowing out from the gaps in the rigging.

Xiaobai then understood what Saratoga meant when he said to use less force.

Xiaobai covered her face.

This problem often occurs when linking ship girls. It's too difficult to control your own admiral network, and you can easily cause a lot of trouble for the linked ship girls.

For example, after the link was created, the person was completely messed up.

Judging from this situation, it seems that not only when linking ship girls, but even when activating the ship equipment's mark to buff ship girls, power needs to be controlled.

Saratoga's red ship rigging clearly tells Xiaobai that there is no ship girl in the world who can withstand the full firepower of her admiral's network.

Even the world's top-tier Saratoga could only last a few seconds, let alone some ship girls with fragile equipment.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry..." Little White said apologetically as he hugged Saratoga, who was as limp as if she had no bones.

“…It’s okay, I’ll be fine after a rest.” Saratoga didn’t seem to have any particular aversion to it. “I can’t handle less strength.”

After Saratoga finished speaking, she put away the scorching hot ship equipment behind her.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry... I'm really sorry for causing you trouble..." Xiaobai could only apologize as he helped Saratoga to a stone round table in the garden below the dormitory building.

Saratoga sat on the bench and rested for a while before gradually returning to normal.

Saratoga straightened her legs and took a few light breaths.

“Not found,” Saratoga said.

"Didn't you find any deep-sea reaction?" Xiaobai asked. "How large was the search area just now?"

“About thirty kilometers in radius,” Saratoga replied. “Although it only lasted a few seconds, it was very clear.”

Xiao Bai thought about the map of Yuxiu he had seen before. If the detection range was this large each time, he could detect the entire Yuxiu in a day by taking a few long bus routes.

“Little White.” Saratoga tugged at Little White’s arm.

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked.

“If you control your power, you can’t see very far,” Saratoga said.

Xiao Bai nodded awkwardly.

"You've rested enough, we can set off now," Saratoga said, nodding to Little White.

"Should we wait for the bus?" Xiaobai asked.

Saratoga nodded.

The two walked to the bus stop.

Saratoga wasn't wearing her usual sailor uniform, but rather a white long dress. Her pure and innocent look, combined with her beautiful face and curvaceous figure, made her appear alluring, attracting the attention of many on the street.

With so many eyes watching from the street, Saratoga couldn't use her ship equipment recklessly.

Xiao Bai memorized the city's bus routes and, with the help of the map in his head, figured out the order in which to take the buses.

After waiting for a while, the bus finally slowly pulled up.

Yuxiu has a small population and a small area, so there aren't many buses.

Even so, there are still quite a few empty seats on buses with longer routes.

Two people got into the car.

Even though Saratoga is very beautiful, she wouldn't attract much attention in the cramped bus. Xiaobai and she found a corner to sit down.

Saratoga rolled down the car window, stretched out her smooth arm, and a beam of blue light flew out with the wind.

That's Saratoga's plane.

When there are people around, Saratoga can't just launch the plane into the sky in a flash; it can only do so in a way that looks like it's throwing away trash to avoid attracting attention.

To others, Saratoga's action seemed like throwing a blue plastic bag out the window, which was then caught in the wind and flown into the sky.

"Speaking of which, the previous plane didn't come back," Xiaobai asked.

“It’s broken. You’re too strong,” Saratoga said.

"Ah..." Xiaobai felt ashamed of himself as an admiral.

Saratoga's plane flew to an altitude that most people wouldn't notice and then circled around, following the bus.

There was still a long time before they left the area they had been covering during their previous large-scale reconnaissance mission, so the two of them sat in the car as if they were just enjoying the scenery.

Because it was a weekday, not many people boarded the long and slow bus route, which was close to noon.

After passing several popular stops, the already sparsely populated train became even sparser.

Both Xiaobai and Saratoga have a kind of private, enjoyable feeling.

"Can we connect now?" Xiaobai asked.

“That’s about it.” Saratoga nodded.

"I'll... control my strength this time."

Xiaobai tried to activate the marker in Saratoga's ship equipment using the same method he used to link ship girls.

—As I've emphasized many times, control itself is a very difficult thing.

Xiaobai has also been working hard to familiarize himself with his admiral network these past few days.

Saratoga felt the admiral network of the little white man gradually covering his body.

That feeling of being filled with pent-up emotions surged up inside me.

My back doesn't hurt anymore, my legs don't ache anymore, my arms feel strong again, and my head is much clearer.

Even if Xiaobai's admiral network only used a small portion of its power in Saratoga, it was still far superior to the ordinary admiral network.

Saratoga was relieved.

That would be good too.

"Cock!"

At that moment, the bus jolted.

Buses... well, there will always be some bumps on the road. After all, highways can't be made completely flat.

Xiao Bai felt his hand tremble, and the admiral network he was sending to Saratoga accidentally grew a little too large.

The sudden expansion of the admiral network was a huge shock to Saratoga, especially after she had just felt relieved.

"Hmm!" The sudden feeling of power filling her body caused Saratoga to let out a soft moan.

Those still in the car turned around and looked at Saratoga.

Saratoga blushed deeply, covered her mouth, and lowered her head.

...Is this...that exciting?

Saratoga was so ashamed she wanted to bang her head against the window.

The people in the car looked at Saratoga with strange eyes.

Saratoga is a very beautiful person. Her facial expressions don't change much, giving her an aloof and icy beauty vibe.

Saratoga suddenly let out a strange groan on the bus, which to those around her looked like a girl playing with some strange toy.

"Mom, what is that lady doing?" A little boy tugged at his mother's clothes and asked from the front of the car.

"Don't ask, shh... and don't look!" The housewife, carrying large bags and packages, clearly misunderstood Saratoga's condition. She pulled her son close and whispered a scolding.

Saratoga covered her mouth and glared resentfully at the little white dog beside her.

What could Xiaobai do at this point? She had already done her best to maintain her admiral network and prevent it from collapsing due to the recent turbulence, thus avoiding causing even greater trouble for Saratoga. She had no time to worry about Saratoga's current state.

Fortunately, the few people on the bus weren't the ones with any good intentions. If someone had curiously walked up to Saratoga and asked, "Miss, do you need any help?" Saratoga would have wanted to punch that person into the ceiling.

—What kind of karma is this?

Saratoga's mentality completely collapsed.

No, we can't take this bus.

If I sit any longer, I'll lose face.

In a fit of shame and anger, Saratoga quickly surveyed the surroundings, then gently touched Little White's hand, indicating that she could retract the Admiral Network.

With Saratoga's permission, Xiaobai reclaimed the Admiral Network.

As soon as he withdrew, before Little White could even catch his breath, Saratoga's little fists rained down on Little White's chest.

Chapter 118 Returning Home

Xiao Bai understood how embarrassing Saratoga's state had been just now, and as the instigator, he could only force a smile and take Saratoga's meteor punch.

Of course, he didn't exert any force; otherwise, with Xiaobai's physique, even a hundred lives wouldn't be enough to compensate for it.

The bus stopped at the next stop, and the two people got off the bus as if they were fleeing for their lives, under the watchful eyes of the passengers.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..." As soon as he got out of the car, Xiaobai quickly apologized to Saratoga next to him.

Normally, Saratoga would have waved his hand and forgiven Iniesta.

But this time, Saratoga pouted and ignored Iniesta, clearly genuinely a little angry.
