Her breathing was rapid and disordered, her face still flushed, and she looked at Li Wei with a dazed expression, as if she had not yet recovered from the battle.

Li Wei reached out and unlocked Tashkent's handcuffs, gently picked her up, and whispered in her ear, "The interrogation is over. Comrade Tashkent did a very good job."

Tashkent glared at him helplessly and muttered under his breath, "Comrade... don't do that again... Tashkent will get revenge!"

Chapter 488 Pre-diagnosis in Shangri-La

Shangri-La stood before Li Wei, her light gray hair swaying gently in the breeze, her amber pupils gleaming softly through her glasses.

She was dressed in a neat white eagle uniform, clutching a notebook tightly in her hand—her precious companion for recording countless stories and observations.

She adjusted her glasses and looked at the commander, her voice steady yet tinged with anticipation: "Commander, our hospital is nearing completion. Would you like me to give you a tour?"

Li Wei smiled slightly and nodded: "Of course." He paused, as if remembering something, and casually added: "Speaking of which, I remember it was New Orleans that came up with the idea, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shangri-La nodded slightly, his fingers habitually adjusting his glasses frame, his tone as serious as ever, as if he were ready to record this conversation at any moment.

“Yes, Commander. New Orleans provided many practical suggestions during the design process, and her ideas were incorporated into the hospital's layout and functional zoning. If you would like her to come and explain in person, that's fine too; I can contact her now.”

“No need.” Li Wei waved his hand, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment. “You take me there. I believe your explanation will be more interesting.”

Shangri-La paused for a moment, then a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on her lips. She closed her notebook and said softly, "Since the Commander says so, then I have the honor of being your guide. Please follow me."

The two walked side by side toward the newly built hospital. Shangri-La occasionally turned her head to introduce the hospital's overview to Li Wei. Her voice was steady and clear, carrying a reassuring power: "This hospital is one of the important facilities in the port area. It can not only provide daily maintenance for the ship girls, but also handle some emergencies."

“New Orleans places particular emphasis on the flexibility of the medical pods, so the interior space is designed to be both practical and spacious.”

The hospital gates soon came into view; it was a very modern building with a predominantly white exterior, accented with the iconic blue lines of the White Eagles.

"Not bad, it looks pretty good."

"I think all the ship girls who participated in the construction will be happy to receive the commander's praise."

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

The hospital is not yet fully completed; some props and equipment are still awaiting installation, but the main structure is finished. The site is well-organized, and there is no indication that it is a construction site.

Upon entering, a faint smell of disinfectant wafts through the air. The interior lighting is bright yet soft, the reception area is clean and orderly, and several self-service registration machines stand quietly to the side.

Li Wei looked around and nodded: "It does look quite good, very organized."

However, since it's just a superficial hospital, these self-service registration machines seem to have no real purpose...

Shangri-La walked to the front desk, turned to face Li Wei, and a playful glint flashed in her eyes: "Commander, since we're here, how about we simulate the registration process? I can play the medical staff, and you can be the patient, how about that?"

The girl's suggestion was somewhat novel, as if she wanted to add some fun to the visit.

“Good idea.” Li Wei readily agreed, putting his hands in his pockets and striking a relaxed pose. “Then I’ll give it a try first.”

Shangri-La smiled slightly, walked behind the front desk, stood up straight, and looked every bit like a professional medical worker.

She cleared her throat, her voice becoming more formal: "Excuse me, patient, what's wrong with you today, and which department should you go to?"

Li Wei stroked his chin, pretending to ponder, then revealed a playful smile: "Hmm... I feel like I've been having too much energy lately, and I can't sleep at night. I feel like there's something wrong, so I wanted to see what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Shangri-La adjusted her glasses, a barely perceptible blush flashing across her face, but she quickly composed herself, maintaining a professional calm.

She looked down and pretended to jot down a few notes in her notebook, then looked up at Li Wei and said calmly, "High energy... that is indeed a symptom that needs attention. However, according to procedure, we must conduct an initial examination first to determine the specific situation. Please wait a moment while I arrange the examination for you."

Li Wei raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest: "Oh? So how do we conduct the initial consultation?"

Shangri-La didn't answer directly. Instead, she stepped out from behind the front desk and stood in front of Li Wei. She leaned slightly forward, her amber eyes looking directly at him: "Commander, the initial examination method may be a bit unusual, but please trust my professionalism. To accurately assess your condition, I need to personally check your... main gun status."

Before she finished speaking, she gently squatted down, her movements elegant and composed.

The girl's disguise fluttered slightly, revealing the soft outline of her marshmallow-like body, the deck gleaming white under the lights. Li Wei paused, then understood her intention, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips. He whispered, "Shangri-La, what kind of pre-diagnosis is this?"

"Well……"

Shangri-La looked up at him, a sly glint in her eyes: "Commander, as a medical professional, I have a duty to ensure your health. Now, please relax and let me begin this examination."

Her bow slowly approached, carrying a warm breath, gently enveloping Li Wei's main cannon. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and Li Wei felt a surge of electricity rush up from the deck.

"call……"

Shangri-La's movements were not hurried, but rather carried a serious, research-oriented air. She would adjust the angle at times, and gently explore at others, as if she were truly conducting a meticulous examination.

The girl's bow was nimble and warm, each touch feeling like a test of the main gun's limits. As the inspection entered its final stage, Shangri-La's pace quickened, and the bow's covering became tighter and more powerful.

"Um……"

Under her control, Li Wei's main gun steadily charged, its ammunition reserves like a ignited powder keg, ready to explode at any moment. He breathed heavily, "Shangri-La, your initial diagnosis... was truly thorough."

Shangri-La did not stop what she was doing, but responded softly, "Commander, please be patient, we will reach a conclusion soon."

The girl's voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, gradually eroding Levi's will. Finally, after a deep exploration, Levi could no longer restrain himself. He unleashed a furious barrage of fire from the main cannon, unleashing a torrent of ammunition that precisely struck deep into the bow of the Shangri-La.

"Well!"

Shangri-La trembled slightly, and the bow of the boat tightened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

She slowly stood up, wiped her mouth, adjusted her glasses, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She scribbled a few lines in her notebook, then looked up at Li Wei:

"Commander, based on my initial assessment, I can conclude that your main guns are in perfect condition. In terms of both power and endurance, they are the best example of what can counter ship girls, and require absolutely no correction."

Li Wei, panting heavily, leaned against the front desk, taking a long time to recover. Looking at Shangri-La's composed yet playful expression, he couldn't help but smile: "Not bad, not bad, I really like your conclusion."

Shangri-La closed her notebook and smiled slightly: "I'm glad the Commander is satisfied. Let's go, I'll show you around some more."

Chapter 489 Shangri-La Wants to Use Small Balloons

"Commander, the experience at the front desk is just the beginning; there are many other areas of the hospital worth exploring."

Li Wei straightened his disguise: "Of course, now that we're here, we should figure out how to get around. Lead the way, my guide."

Shangri-La smiled gently, nodded, and turned to walk into the hospital.

The two walked through a spacious corridor lined with neat examination rooms and rest areas on both sides.

"This is the treatment area, mainly responsible for providing routine check-ups and maintenance for the commander."

"...Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Of course. The commander will need to conduct more routine checks from now on."

"I think it's you who want to eat more, isn't it?"

Shangri-La did not refute this.

Li Wei: "Let's go in and take a look."

He thought the consultation room was just for show, but when he actually pushed open a door at random, he found that it was fully equipped with all kinds of instruments.

Shangri-La spoke with a hint of pride:

"New Orleans was designed with efficiency in mind, so each consultation room is equipped with the latest equipment to quickly handle various situations."

Li Wei looked around and nodded: "It's really advanced. It seems New Orleans has put in a lot of effort."

Shangri-La nodded slightly and continued walking: "Next is the pharmacy, which is one of the core areas of the hospital. The commander should be interested."

There was a hint of deeper meaning in her voice, which aroused Li Wei's curiosity.

The two quickly arrived at the pharmacy entrance, and Shangri-La pushed open the door. The pharmacy was spacious and bright, with rows of neat storage cabinets on the walls, each labeled with the name and purpose of various medicines.

However, when Li Wei approached a cabinet to take a closer look, he found that the contents were somewhat unexpected—where there should have been medicine bottles or pills, there were neatly arranged boxes of small balloons, their colorful packaging particularly eye-catching under the light.

Li Wei paused for a moment, then turned to look at Shangri-La: "This...isn't it a bit strange to have this in a pharmacy?"

He hasn't used this thing in over a year.

Shangri-La adjusted her glasses, a playful smile flashing across her face. She approached the cabinet, picked up a box of small balloons, and gently twirled them in her hand. "Commander, these aren't ordinary pharmacy stock. These are specially prepared for... various diagnoses, specifically for your use."

She paused, looked directly at Li Wei with her beautiful eyes, and added, "After all, as ship girls, we also have to take care of the commander's... other needs."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but laugh. He leaned against the cabinet, arms crossed, and looked her up and down with his gaze: "I've never used this before."

Shangri-La put down the box in her hand, walked to Li Wei, and bowed slightly: "Since the Commander is interested, why don't we try it here? The pharmacy is quiet and private, perfect for a special battle."

Her disguise was slightly lifted, revealing the soft curves of her marshmallow-like body. The deck gleamed white under the lights, attracting Li Wei's gaze.

Li Wei raised an eyebrow, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before he nodded: "Good idea, then let's not waste this place."

He reached out and pulled Shangri-La over, gently pushing her to the edge of the counter. Shangri-La leaned against the counter, her hands bracing against the edge, her stern slightly raised, striking a welcoming pose.

The girl's eyes held a hint of anticipation, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was already ready to face this battle.

Li Wei took a small balloon from the cabinet, skillfully tore open the packaging, and put it on his main gun.

He stood behind Shangri-La, his hands gripping the hull of her boat, and whispered, "Since it's a diagnosis, we should have as much fun as possible."

Before he finished speaking, he gently lifted Shangri-La's camouflage, revealing the hidden area of ​​the core cabin. Shangri-La trembled slightly, but she quickly adjusted her posture, shifting the stern slightly backward to accommodate Li Wei's movements.

The battle officially began. Li Wei's main cannons slowly advanced, reaching deep into the core of Shangri-La's cabin. Shangri-La's breathing became rapid, its bow slightly opened, and it emitted a low whimper.

A fine layer of sweat beaded on her deck. Li Wei's pace was not hurried, but rather carried a calm composure of overall control. Each dive was like a cannon firing a precise shot, striking her vitals.

"commander……"

The girl's core tightly enveloped Li Wei's main cannon, and her body trembled involuntarily as the rhythm quickened. The cotton candy-like figure rose and fell with the movement, swaying gracefully like a ship being battered by waves.

Li Wei chuckled softly, leaned close to her ear, his breath warm: "What, does it feel even more intense than before?"

"Yes……"

"There's something even deeper."

His offensive gradually quickened, and the main guns became even more ferocious, each impact sounding like cannon fire, pushing Shangri-La to its limits.

The core of the Shangri-La was completely breached, as if its keel had been struck, and it gradually lost its ability to resist. A series of suppressed low groans emanated from the bow, and the hull slid slightly across the counter, like a defense line about to be breached.

The battle entered its most intense phase. Li Wei's main guns had been charging for a long time, and ammunition was accumulating in small balloons, ready to explode at any moment.

Shangri-La's consciousness gradually blurred. She bit the bow of the boat, trying to grasp the last bit of reason, but the feeling of being shattered overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

Finally, after the most intense impact, Li Wei's main cannon fired, and all the ammunition was fired into the small balloon, filling the tiny space with intense heat.

Shangri-La slumped on the counter, her breathing rapid and disordered, her face still flushed, her eyes glazed over as she stared ahead, as if she hadn't yet recovered from the battle.

Li Wei, panting heavily, slowly withdrew, looking at his spoils with satisfaction. He carefully took off the small balloon, tied it into a knot, and casually hung it on Shangri-La's little finger.

Shangri-La glanced down at the "spoils of war" on her fingers, adjusted her glasses, and a shy smile flashed across her face. She sat up, straightened her disguise, and whispered, "Commander, is this... a souvenir of the war?"

Li Wei leaned against the cabinet, hands in his pockets, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, consider it a reward for your performance. So, are you satisfied with this diagnosis?"

Shangri-La stood up, stretched her slightly limp stern, and said with a playful glint in her beautiful eyes, "Very satisfied, Commander. But if I need to use these items again next time, I'll have to write it down in my notebook beforehand, so I don't forget such a fun experience."

She paused, then added, "However, the environment of this pharmacy is indeed quite nice, quiet and secluded, making it suitable for us to try it a few more times."

Chapter 490 Franklin's Mole

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the streets of the port area, bathing them in a warm golden light.

Li Wei straightened his clothes and walked out of the hospital lobby, his mind still reeling from that unique battle with Shangri-La.

He had only taken a few steps when his communication device rang, and a familiar, cheerful voice from New Orleans came through: "Commander, are you in the hospital right now?"

Li Wei glanced down at his clothes, making sure there were no obvious marks, before replying, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Commander, we're about to begin the final stage of renovations~" New Orleans's tone was filled with excitement, clearly showing his anticipation for the hospital's completion.

"Okay, I'll be right out."

Li Wei hung up the call, turned around, and waved goodbye to Shangri-La. Shangri-La stood there, adjusted her glasses, a hint of a smile flashing in her amber eyes, and murmured something, but Li Wei had already walked away and couldn't hear her.

On his way back to the office, Li Wei's steps were much lighter.

The construction of the hospital is progressing smoothly, and the efforts of the ship girls make him very gratified.

However, as he approached the office, he found an unexpected visitor already standing at the door. His pink and white hair shimmered slightly under the light, and his lake-blue eyes exuded a straightforward yet wild aura.

She was dressed in a white eagle uniform, with goggles casually hanging around her neck, exuding the aura of an adventurer.

"Hello, Commander, I'm Franklin, nice to meet you~"

Her voice was clear and warm, with a touch of older sisterly kindness. She tilted her head and looked Li Wei up and down. "Hmm? You seem very busy? How about I wander around the port area by myself? Or can I lend you a hand?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and looked the new ship girl up and down.

Franklin had a striking beauty mark on her face, which adorned her vibrant features, while her marshmallow seemed to conceal another, more subtle mark.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "Hmm... a new ship girl, right? It's nice to meet you too, welcome to the port." He then pushed open the office door, gesturing for her to come in, "Come in and let's talk."
