I, Azure Commander!

Because after they received the letter and saw the name written on it - "Lin Xiao", they immediately began to investigate the news about the commander.

As the saying goes, you don't know until you check. Once you check, you'll be shocked. After looking up this person's various deeds and experiences and printing out the clear information into documents and putting them on the table, they quickly reached a unanimous opinion - this is their commander.

And here lies the problem...

Their commander is back, and he has been back a long time ago. At least a year has passed. During this period, he has made a lot of big moves. It can be said that he is not low-key at all. It can be said that more than half of the ship commanders all over the world have more or less heard about him.

But they don’t know…

Because they were on the front line, they did not pay attention to this information. Because they had never received such information, they stayed on the front line the whole time, and more than a year passed like this.

I regret it! If I had known this would happen, who would have been willing to come to this shabby place to work?

However, because of their strong strength and Huayuan's ability in both literature and martial arts, she could handle things on her own, so she unknowingly became the commander-in-chief of the front line and was put in a difficult position.

The commander-in-chief of the front line is not a job that can be resigned casually. It is much more important than the local maritime director. This position can be said to affect the whole body. It is like a country cannot be without a king for a day, and an army cannot be without a general when fighting on the front line. Although Hua Yuan has thought about taking a break many times, maybe she can travel around the world to look for her missing commander, but due to the pressure of life, she has no such opportunity. She can only keep doing this extremely important job. Slowly becoming numb, she even forgot to look for the commander.

Alas... If she had known this would happen, she should not have come to this shabby place!

This time it was the commander who came over on his own initiative. If he hadn't come, who knows when I would have known that he was back?

"Hurry up and call everyone over. We're going to return to the port area... and by the way, we have to apologize to the commander."

Huayuan felt a little guilty. The commander had done so many things and it was obvious that he really wanted to find them back. Although she could not be blamed for not finding out about these things in time, she still felt that she had let the commander down.

However, there are unexpectedly many ship girls in the front-line port area, and there are even many wedding ships. Seeing so many wives, the commander must be very happy...

Of course, Huayuan was not wrong. When she was planning to meet the commander-in-chief on the front line and ask her to help settle her ship girls, she saw a large group of ship girls running towards them. Each of them looked familiar, and each of them... was almost in tears.

To be honest, his mind was a little buzzing and he couldn't quite figure out the situation for a moment.

Of course, we still have to welcome it...

Lin Xiao was not so far away from recognizing the girls at home, especially as more and more ship girls returned to the port and fewer were left outside. There were not many names left on the list, and he had more time to recall their appearance carefully.

The blue-haired lady walking in front with a passionate look on her face must be the garden.

Lin Xiao's most direct impression of this girl is that she is quite reliable. Not only does she have a powerful ship, but she also seems to have a good brain. She is a "general" who can stand on her own.

Although a bit silly...

"commander……"

Finally, Garden brought a group of ship girls to the commander. She had a warm smile on her face, but after seeing the person she had been thinking about day and night at such a close distance, she actually had tears in her eyes and was unable to speak for a while.

"Welcome back, Garden."

Lin Xiao already had sufficient experience in how to deal with this kind of situation. He greeted her with a smile, then walked up to her and gave her a big hug.

This hug made Huayuan stunned.

After all, she is a ship girl who has not returned to the port yet. She doesn’t know how her commander has changed, and all her impressions of him remain in the past.

Sure enough, this girl is so silly...

Lin Xiao shrugged and patted her back comfortingly, but he didn't have much time to reminisce with her alone. After all, there were so many ship girls waiting for him.

Turning around, I saw the sisters Feilong and Canglong, and then many familiar figures, at least twenty or thirty people at a glance.

In fact, before coming and on the way here, Lin Xiao had considered the possibility of having his own ship girl on the front line.

And he felt that the possibility was quite high, so when he gradually approached this side and the "radar" in his mind reacted, he was actually not surprised at all... Bullshit!

He did think there might be some, but wasn't it a bit too outrageous that twenty or thirty of them came at once?

If I had known earlier, I should have come here sooner...

To be honest, Lin Xiao felt a little regretful, even a little guilty. After all, just thinking about the front line, he knew that he would most likely find his own ship girl...

But it's not just the front line. We had accurate news in Area E and Area G before, so we went to these places first.

It's obviously not a good idea to stand outside like an idiot, what if someone sees us... Although it's not a big deal, it's never good to make too much noise.

So Huayuan quickly led everyone into the office building, prepared refreshments, and everyone had a good chat. Lin Xiao also told Huayuan the purpose of this trip... Of course, he didn't mention anything about the Dream Weaver for the time being, as he planned to find a chance to talk to Huayuan alone later.

It’s not that I don’t trust the ship girls at home, it’s just that some of them are too talkative and can’t keep secrets. Besides, this kind of thing itself is not suitable for too many people to know.

It would be enough if only Hua Yuan knew the whole story. Among the ship girls he brought with him, only a few of the more stable ones, or those who had personally experienced the commander being kidnapped, knew the whole story.

Most of the ship girls in the port area don't know that their commander has been captured by the commander... If they knew, even if he is fine now, they will inevitably gossip and worry about him...

Chapter 7 Arrival at Eirin City

The sneaky little actions can be concealed for a while, but they cannot be concealed forever.

When they did the same thing the next day, they were caught by Sheffield, the maid who got up at night.

Although they tried their best not to make any noise, Sheffield was not a little girl who knew nothing. Even though she could hide under the quilt without moving, she soon noticed something and cast a look of contempt towards Lin Xiao.

"hentai!"

I don't know why, maybe it's because I know very well that I have completely conquered this stubborn little maid. After clearly seeing the contempt in the eyes of this petite girl in the dark night, Lin Xiao not only did not feel any guilt or remorse, but became even more excited.

(Correction content----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------)

Life, maybe sometimes just needs a little excitement like this...

Lin Xiao suddenly felt that this not-so-pleasant trip didn't seem so bad after all.

In the following days, if nothing unexpected happens, everyone will take turns to sneak into the commander's bed at night... If something unexpected happens, it means that there was no prior discussion or the spoils were not evenly divided, so two people sneaked into the commander's bed together...

The journey from south to north by train was indeed a bit tiring, but I have to say that apart from the boredom and the annoyance of staying in the carriage for a long time, having my wife as my companion did help alleviate some of the depression.

Moreover, when transferring or stopping at a station, they can get off the bus, walk around the station, and have a quick meal.

The food on the train is not bad, but it is still a bit monotonous. In comparison, if you walk a little further, you can still find quite a few pretty good restaurants near the station.

As we eat from south to north, the taste changes gradually, from sweet to salty, from not spicy to spicy. The weather is also getting colder. The change of seasons felt in this transition is indeed a very wonderful feeling.

Overall, the experience can be considered pretty good...

After this kind of life lasted for nearly a month, they finally arrived at Yonglin City, the capital of Zone R.

As soon as they arrived in Area R, their first reaction was that it was cold. Although it was only the beginning of autumn and far from winter, Area R was located in the north, and the temperature was indeed much colder than Area C, especially the southern part of Area C where they were previously located...

Lin Xiao and the other ship girls all changed into cotton clothes. After getting off the car, they only needed to exhale lightly to see the distinct white mist lingering in the air. Although it hadn't snowed yet, it already seemed like snow was flying all over the sky.

Rubbing his palms, Lin Xiao, who had been resisting just now, immediately took the gloves handed to him by Sirius and put them on hastily.

Well, the gloves were warm. Although she was a careless maid, she was extremely attentive at this moment and warmed up his gloves early in the morning.

Unlike before, the Reboot zone is really too big.

It is larger than Area C, but in contrast, the number of Northern Alliance ship girls is not that large, so it is naturally impossible to conduct a carpet search like in Area G and Area E.

It is foreseeable that even if Lin Xiao has mastered the advanced "radar" technology now, the process of finding people in Area R this time will not be as smooth as before.

So they did not choose to stop immediately after arriving at the border of Zone R, but continued to take the car and went directly to the capital of Zone R.

"Let's find a place to live first..."

Noshiro also breathed a breath, and it was obvious that her palms were a little cold. Lin Xiao slowly took off his gloves in his pocket, quickly grabbed Noshiro's small hand with his gradually warmed palms, and stuffed it into his pocket.

Noshiro's face flushed instantly, but she didn't struggle. After all, it was really warm, and...

Looking at the slightly envious eyes of the other ship girls around her, although Noshiro felt that what she was doing was not very good and not very kind, she still couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart, and her eyes were full of smiles.

Who doesn’t like to show affection in front of others? Oh, single people don’t like it because there is nothing to show…

Lin Xiao looked at the girl next to him. Even though they had seen each other for such a long time, he still couldn't help but like her all the time.

Because it was cold, everyone wore thick clothes. Nodai wore a pure white down jacket with a hood on the back with a circle of fur, which made him look very cute.

But unfortunately, she couldn't really wear a hat - she could, but only a little.

Although it is very useful in some cases, and can perfectly replace twin tails or even be more powerful than twin tails, this pair of horns will indeed cause some trouble at other times.

Perhaps, this is what it means when you gain something, you lose something?

Although both Lin Xiao and Nengdai himself agreed that the benefits of this matter far outweighed the disadvantages.

Because this time I will probably be staying here for a while... or to be more specific, I will be using Yonglin City as a temporary base for a while, so naturally I can't just find a random hotel like before.

It is not necessary to buy a house outright, but Lin Xiao thinks it is completely fine to rent a slightly more luxurious villa. This place is extremely cold, and if the living conditions are not improved, it would be too difficult.

This is something that Noshiro is not very good at.

After all, she has been staying in the port area for a long time. Although she has to deal with many port affairs, it does not include how to find a house. However, Lin Xiao and Sirius, who often accompanies him out, are quite experienced in this regard.

This is the capital after all. Although Area R is vast and sparsely populated, and the overall economic situation is not satisfactory, it is at least prosperous as a capital.

Of course there are villa complexes, and they are not difficult to find.

After getting off the bus, I first had a meal nearby. How should I describe the food in Area R... It's neither good nor bad. There's not much to praise, but it's not as bad as Area E, which is full of dark cuisine. The food generally doesn't look very good, but the taste is okay. After a meal with strong local characteristics, the experience was good overall.

Chapter 8 Commander, go grocery shopping with me

How to find a suitable place to live?

Lin Xiao obviously has considerable experience in this regard.

The easiest thing is naturally to contact the local Maritime Bureau directly. With his military rank, it is not a problem to ask them to help arrange such a small matter. However, it is obviously not necessary to go to the Maritime Bureau for help for such a small matter.

The people at the Maritime Administration are also very busy... Looking at how busy and exhausted Peter Strasser is on weekdays, you can tell that being on duty at the Maritime Administration is obviously not an easy job.

Although there are relatively easy and undemanding jobs such as gatekeepers, as long as you need to do serious work, there is no easy job. There are countless matters that need to be summarized and processed every day.

After all, since the emergence of the Sirens, the Maritime Bureau, an organization that coordinates the ship girls who can fight against the Sirens, has obviously become one of the most important institutions in the world.

Of course, the main reason was that they arrived here in the morning, so Lin Xiao had plenty of time to arrange these things.

So he easily contacted the "powerful people" in Yonglin City and quickly found a suitable place to live.

This is a villa complex standing in a corner of Yonglin City. Although it is not located in a prime location in the city, the building specifications are quite high and can even be called luxurious.

Obviously, the owners of these villas are the most powerful people in Yonglin City, or even in the entire R District. However, these powerful people do not often live here on weekdays. They only come here to spend the night when they are free occasionally. Yes, to put it bluntly, this is where they "hide their beauties".

Although it doesn't seem to be a very serious place, it does meet Lin Xiao's needs perfectly - it is not in the downtown area, so it is relatively quiet, the living conditions are very high, the decoration is gorgeous, and the house is big enough. There is no need to worry about the ship girls who find the Northern Alliance having no place to live.

Therefore, after a certain degree of consideration and field investigation, Lin Xiao rented an idle villa.

It is said to be renting, but in fact it is just a gesture. Those who can afford to buy a villa here are definitely not short of money. It can even be said that they are people who do not take money seriously at all. After all, the price of any villa here starts at tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

The monthly rent is only tens of thousands, or at most hundreds of thousands, just a drop in the bucket...

It can even be said that under normal circumstances they are not very willing to rent out such a place that is intended to be used to "hide a beauty".

But there are always exceptions.

Lin Xiao is a commander, and a commander with a high military rank, which means that he can have an absolutely high social status no matter where he is... Of course, this is not the point. The real point is that he is also the husband of the president of the St. Louis Group.

Even for those wealthy people who spend tens or hundreds of millions to buy a villa for fun, they are obviously not as good as the St. Louis Group.

By renting a house, you can do a small favor. After the St. Louis Group develops, you will have a connection and be the first person to reap the benefits. Why not do it?

Moreover, this is actually beneficial to St. Louis. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If you want to develop in a region, it is necessary to make some friends with the local powerful natives. This will be of great benefit to opening up the market.

Of course, Lin Xiao wouldn't live in just any house...it had to be a villa that had been renovated and had not been used before, and it had to be cleaned spotlessly.

It took some time to deal with all these trivial matters. After paying the rent, Lin Xiao brought the girls to the villa.

I have to say, it does look very grand, and it has three floors. There are not many ship girls in the Northern Alliance, so even if all of them were found and moved in, it probably wouldn't be too crowded.

"Master, let's go clean up first."

After Sheffield finished speaking, he led Sirius to take out the key and stepped into the villa. Although this place might be cleaned regularly every day - even if no one has ever lived here.

But for Sheffield, who is very persistent about "cleaning" and "cleanliness", she obviously insisted on cleaning it again herself.

Although she was not very satisfied with her "assistant".

It's not that she dislikes her colleagues or anything, but Sirius is indeed a bit clumsy. Apart from being good in fighting, her service as a maid is obviously a bit...unsatisfactory.

But after all, it was still satisfactory. Although it was not completely okay, it was at least "okay". Compared with her and Belfast, it was certainly much worse, but compared with ordinary humans, it was still better - as long as she didn't clumsily do stupid things like knocking over the bucket.

Lin Xiao was used to his maid's persistence in certain things and did not stop her, but of course there was no need to wait outside. After all, from his point of view, the house was already quite clean. Although it was not spotless, there would not be dust everywhere when cleaning, so he could move in directly.

"Ah, it's warmer, warmer..."

This is everyone’s first impression after entering the house.

There's no way, it's too cold outside, and the air conditioner in the house has been turned on early... It's like this before winter even starts, and I don't know how cold it will be when winter comes!

I'll take a short break today and sort out the route I've planned along the way, and then I'll officially set out to start looking for people tomorrow.
