These are quite remarkable numbers in every sense.

Missouri smiled and nodded at Nia: "Then Admiral Nia, good luck! Missouri will take her leave now."

Nia waved to Missouri and then went into the kitchen.

Missouri watched as Nia's figure disappeared into the kitchen, and she slowly lowered her hand.

Missouri turned and hurried toward her room.

Since Lexington said that to Admiral Nia, she must have her own reasons. She was just an ordinary ship girl, how could she dare to ruin Lexington's good deed?

Lexington is a kind-hearted ship girl; she definitely wouldn't harm Nia.

Missouri thought to herself, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

"Okay, Missouri has already forgotten what happened in the last three minutes." Missouri clenched her little fist and gave herself a pep talk. "What happens next has nothing to do with Missouri anymore."

Chapter 664 The Green Turret

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Xiaobai slowly woke up from the bed.

Little White, who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and looked out the window.

It wasn't nighttime; the sky outside the window was a clear, bright blue, and the sun was shining brightly, making it look closer to noon.

Xiaobai sat on the bed for a while, waiting for the sleepiness to gradually fade before she got off the bed and pushed open the door to the room.

Outside the room, the entire courtyard was filled with ship girls gathered in the center, chatting in twos and threes as if they were having a banquet, and the courtyard was filled with the laughter of the ship girls.

"Admiral, you're awake?" Constellation's voice came from beside Xiaobai.

Xiaobai turned his head and saw that Constellation and Saratoga were leaning against the wall by the door, smiling and greeting him.

"Saratoga, Constellation, good afternoon." Xiaobai smiled shyly at the two ship girls in front of her.

"Admiral, I heard you went out with Missouri last night? You didn't get back until this morning?" Constellation asked Little White.

"Haha...that's a bit more difficult to explain..."

"The Admiral is so mean! He just got me and he's already ignoring me. I was really looking forward to going to war with him." Constellation covered her face, and from between her delicate fingers, a plaintive sob escaped like a babbling brook.

"Uh... I'm sorry..." Xiaobai apologized awkwardly to the constellation.

"Hehe." Constellation removed her hands, revealing a smiling face beneath them. "It's nothing, Admiral, I was just teasing you."

"..."

"But if you go out to play behind our backs again next time, I'm really going to start crying."

"Hahaha..." Xiaobai laughed awkwardly, "I will reflect on my actions."

After grinning at the constellation a few times, it joined the activities of the ship girls in the middle of the courtyard.

Saratoga took the opportunity to move closer to Little White and quietly took her arm.

"Saratoga, is it noon yet?" Little White asked Saratoga.

Saratoga nodded: "We've arrived."

"Ah...it seems I'm late today..." Xiaobai said somewhat embarrassedly.

“We’re resting today.” Saratoga smiled slightly as she pulled Little White down to sit on the steps. “We’re not going on the expedition.”

"Oh, I see..." Little White said to Saratoga apologetically, "I'm sorry..."

"It's okay." Saratoga put her arm around Little White's arm and smiled happily.

For the newbie ship girls in the naval base, they didn't expect to gain anything from the expedition in the second chapter. In a sense, everyone was just there to play with the newbies. In the second chapter, as long as the newbies were happy, no ship girl would be unhappy even if they didn't have to do any work, let alone take a day off.

What's more, the clever Sa was also resting at the moment, so he had time to stand guard outside Xiao Bai's room and enjoy Xiao Bai all to himself after she woke up.

"Speaking of which, where's Tirpitz?" Little White asked Saratoga.

"They're playing games inside."

"She'll probably be the happiest person today since she's off work," Xiaobai said to Saratoga with a smile.

Saratoga nodded and pressed his body closer to Whitebeard.

Saratoga wasn't sure whether Tirpitz was happy or not, but at that moment, she felt like the happiest person in the world.

"Ah, Xiaobai, you're awake?" Just then, Nia's voice came from the other side of Xiaobai.

Nia, who had just come out of the room, saw that Xiaobai had already woken up and quickly ran over to her. She sat down on the other side of Xiaobai with practiced ease: "It's a bit noisy in the yard, Xiaobai, did you sleep well?"

"It's not noisy, the room is very soundproof." Xiaobai smiled at Nia, "I'm so sorry Nia, I skipped work today."

"It's okay, I'm resting today too," Nia said to Xiaobai nonchalantly.

Xiaobai had only been chatting with Nia for a few minutes when Bismarck, carrying a bowl of vegetable porridge, came out of the kitchen. She seemed to have sensed that Xiaobai would wake up. Bismarck walked up to Xiaobai and handed her the warm bowl of porridge.

"Let's eat," Bismarck said succinctly.

"Thank you, Bismarck." Little White pulled his hand out of Saratoga's arms and accepted Bismarck's porridge.

After hearing this, Xiaobai did realize that she should eat. After all, she had been hungry since last night. Although she didn't feel hungry because of the protection of the ship equipment, it didn't mean that Xiaobai didn't need to eat.

Little White took Bismarck's bowl and slurped down the vegetable porridge in a few mouthfuls.

Bismarck carried the empty bowl back to the kitchen.

After watching Bismarck walk into the kitchen, Xiaobai, Nia, and Saratoga sat on the steps, watching the ship girls playing enthusiastically in the yard.

Nia's ship girls are mostly heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers, so they are all very energetic. Now that they are mixed up with Fubuki and Changchun, they are even more restless.

Even at noon, the voices of the ship girls echoed throughout the courtyard.

Happy times are short after all.

After a while, the clear sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds gradually covered the sky as the ship girls chatted and laughed. Soon after, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared, and a rumbling sound came from afar, spreading throughout the entire sky.

"Wow, it's thundering! It's thundering!" The destroyers in the yard shouted, looking up at the sky.

"It's thundering! It's raining!"

"Time to collect the laundry! Time to go back to your room!"

Just as the ship girls shouted, fine raindrops soon began to fall from the clouds, the raindrops growing larger and larger until, in an instant, the entire artificial city was covered in a torrential downpour.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Within the deep-sea territory of the first node, the deep-sea giant phoenix, which was submerged underwater, also noticed the sound on the surface of the sea.

She slowly emerged from the sea, her head peeking out as she gazed at the dark sky.

The raindrops pattered down from the sky, falling and finally crashing onto the sea, turning the surface into a sizzling, boiling oil pan with loud noises.

It's raining.

The deep-sea phoenix stared blankly at the sky, raindrops pattering incessantly on her face, eyes, and hair, trickling down her cheeks, chin, and neck, finally seeping into her clothes, which were already soaked through with seawater.

The Deep Sea Taihou was still wearing the clothes that Shiro had bought for her the night before. After returning to the sea, the Deep Sea Taihou did not take them off, but instead dived back into the water wearing the clothes.

The feeling of wet clothes sticking to the skin is not comfortable, and sometimes it does affect some movements. As a deep sea creature whose values ​​are not yet formed, Deep Sea Daihou really doesn't know what's so good about this outfit. However, for some reason, Deep Sea Daihou just doesn't want to take it off.

After observing the surface of the sea for a short while, the deep-sea giant phoenix shrank back and gurgled as it dived back to the surface.

This was the first time the deep-sea giant ship had ever seen rain during its life. The sight of the normally dry sky pouring water onto the water-rich sea was quite a shocking experience for the deep-sea giant ship.

However, Deep Sea Taihou knew that her duty was not to do so. After briefly investigating the sound of raindrops on the sea surface, she returned to the bottom of the water.

The deep-sea giant phoenix wandered aimlessly underwater, releasing its spiritual energy to explore its surroundings.

The Deep Sea Taihou's mental power expanded greatly, forming a circular detection circle. This detection circle slowly advanced as the Deep Sea Taihou moved forward, sensing all the deep-sea ships within its range.

One deep-sea vessel after another was enveloped by the search ring of the Deep Sea Taihou. After confirming that these deep-sea vessels were just ordinary deep-sea minions, the Deep Sea Taihou continued to advance expressionlessly.

This is the daily routine of the Deep Sea Giant Phoenix, and also her duty. The Deep Sea Giant Phoenix moves silently forward on the seabed.

The deep-sea giant phoenix moved forward, forward, as time slowly passed and the sky gradually darkened. The rain continued to fall, and the sound of pattering echoed across the sea.

The deep-sea phoenix slowly came to a stop, rose to the surface, and quietly looked around.

The black sea was monotonous, with nothing but the incessant sound of raindrops.

The deep-sea giant phoenix quietly watched the sea surface, listening to the sound of raindrops, but its eyebrows gradually rose.

The sound of the rain was mixed with the sound of the wind.

It's not unusual to hear wind amidst the rain, but the wind mixed with the rain at this moment was anything but ordinary.

—That was the horn of the deep sea, a sound only the Dean of the Deep Sea could utter.

Taihou spotted her target and sped up. To avoid alerting the enemy, she retracted her search ring and headed towards the source of the deep-sea horn sound.

Following the sound of the horn, the Deep Sea Phoenix rushed towards the source and finally found a large cluster of Deep Sea Abyssal Ships on a hidden sea surface.

It was a canyon-shaped area of ​​the sea. If it weren't for the Deep Sea Horn guiding it, the Deep Sea Phoenix wouldn't have been able to find such a secluded body of water in a short time.

Above the water, numerous deep-sea amphibious ships roamed the surface as if on a pilgrimage, their heads turned toward a gleaming golden deep-sea amphibious ship. They circled and prayed, and within the gleaming golden amphibious ship's rigging lay a complete humanoid figure. She slept peacefully within the rigging with her eyes half-closed, yet an oppressive aura emanated from her in waves, relentlessly encroaching upon the water's surface.

As the Deepsea Taihou gazed at the golden Deepsea Abyssal Fleet surrounded by Deepsea Abyssal Fleets, its expression grew serious.

That was the Deep Sea Dean, who was nearing completion of his gestation, and was chosen by the deep-sea resentment to rule this body of water.

After seeing the Deep Sea Dean, he knew his mission was complete. The information he had seen would be transmitted to the Deep Sea Will, who would soon arrive with her mother to deal with the Deep Sea Dean.

The deep-sea giant phoenix breathed a sigh of relief.

Her mission is over; the next step is to ensure her safe return.

As she thought about it, Deep Sea Taihou turned her head, wanting to leave quickly.

Then, just as Deep Sea Taihou turned her head, she saw a gun turret emitting a faint green light.

Behind the Deep Sea Taihou, a white-haired Deep Sea Dean, dressed in a light green Deep Sea ship outfit, stared coldly at her.

Deep Sea Taihou stared blankly at the Deep Sea Dean standing behind her, her pale red pupils shrinking rapidly.

Ultimately, events unfolded in a way that exceeded Taihou's expectations.

—For example, in this sea area, there are two directors of the Deep-Sea Academy.

Chapter 665 The Feeling of Death (Third Update)

The rain poured down, and under the cover of night, the black sea was shrouded in a thick aura of deep-sea resentment. Black gas rose straight up, as if it were about to completely devour the moonlight.

A rapid splashing sound could be heard intermittently amidst the heavy rain.

The sound of water parting grew louder as it approached, and then a red figure stepped onto the water's surface, rapidly moving forward in one direction.

It was a girl with long red hair. Her face was pale, and strands of her crimson hair, mixed with rain and sweat, clung to her face. She was panting heavily, running as if her life depended on it, looking utterly disheveled.

"Boom!" Behind her, the eerie green fire of artillery suddenly burst forth in the darkness.

The green shell traced an arc as it landed on the sea surface. Instantly, with a loud explosion, black spray shot high into the sky, and even the intense resentment of the deep sea was somewhat dissipated by the impact.

The girl was narrowly hit by the artillery fire, but the strong wind generated by the fire was like a powerful tornado, carrying her into the sky before finally landing on the sea.

The deep-sea phoenix landed on the sea surface, but its body did not stop. It quickly climbed up from the water and fled in one direction with gritted teeth.

A faint green light shone in the sea behind the Deep Sea Phoenix. With a strong gust of wind, a green figure broke through the deep sea resentment and chased after the Deep Sea Phoenix relentlessly.

It was a Deep Sea Dean with short white hair. His dark steel ship rigging resembled a giant cannon platform, with pale green light constantly flowing across it. The Deep Sea Dean aimed at the Deep Sea Taihou that was fleeing ahead, firing his cannons at it from time to time.

With a series of booming explosions, shells erupted from the Deep Sea Dean's ship rigging and fell one after another around the Deep Sea Taihou.

While desperately dodging, the Deep Sea Taihou unleashed its ship equipment.

Several deep-sea carrier-based aircraft floated into the sky from the rigging of the Deep Sea Taiho and rushed toward the enemy that was chasing them. Several bombs were dropped by the carrier-based aircraft and fell toward the Green Dean.

Abyssal Taihou's ship equipment was not of the Dean's level. Her ship equipment was only barely formed in a few days, and was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Abyssal amphibious ship. It was unrealistic to repel an Abyssal Dean with ship equipment of this strength. Therefore, Abyssal Taihou only wanted to use this attack to slightly slow down the Dean who was chasing her. The accuracy of the bombs was not high, and they only filled a path behind her.

If this air raid can slow Green Dean down even for a moment, or even just reduce her speed, or even just make her turn to the side, it will greatly relieve the pressure on Deep Sea Phoenix, allowing her to catch her breath and find a chance to escape.

However, the next second, something surprising happened to the deep-sea giant phoenix.

The Green Deep Sea Dean did not stop, slow down, or even dodge the bombs. Instead of taking any evasive action, she accelerated and crashed into the bombs.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—" A series of fireworks exploded on the sea surface in an instant, and patches of firelight burned like a path of fire behind the deep-sea phoenix.

Then, a green hurricane rose from the flames, sweeping through a curtain of water and instantly extinguishing the flames. The Green Deep Sea Dean broke through the path of flames and charged towards the Deep Sea Phoenix unharmed.

A pale green light gradually illuminated the rigging of the Green Deepsea Dean's ship, growing brighter and more dazzling. The Deepsea Dean's eyes flashed with a sharp, arrow-like light as she fixed her gaze on the fleeing Deepsea Taihou. She raised her rigging, and a massive cannon barrel extended from it, locking onto the Deepsea Taihou from afar.

"Boom!" The sound of cannon fire rang out.

A pale green shell shot out from the cannon barrel, drawing a dazzling arc in the sky as it hurtled toward the Deep Sea Taihou.
