Every time I touched one, the little guy would sweetly call me "Commander" and then open his arms for a hug.
Huang Chen naturally wasn't polite and hugged them one by one.
"Jarvis."
"Commander." Jarvis nodded, tidied the hair by his ears, and smiled subtly.
"javelin."
"Commander!" Javelin rushed over with a laugh and gave him a warm hug.
"Queen of Heaven."
"Commander." The girl with short light pink hair shrank her neck and chuckled.
"Jersey."
"Commander!" The girl with long red hair tied in twin ponytails stepped forward and hugged Huang Chen and rubbed his face against his.
"Cupid."
"Commander." The sleepy girl nodded drowsily.
"Janus."
"Point, Commander." The blue-haired girl was stunned for a moment and then shouted.
Huang Chen's hand, which was suspended in the air, froze in shock. "Janus?"
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, Commander Huang Chen, I followed my sisters and shouted the wrong thing." Janus reacted and explained in a panic.
Huang Chen waved his hand, unconcerned. "It's okay. It's just that Jarvis, why are you guys here? Are you here to play with Janus?"
He was a little confused. The port area was not close to here and it would take a day to get there. If he just came here to play with Janus, it would obviously be a bit inconvenient.
"Yes, Sister Kaohsiung is coming to Ningyang to replenish the port area's supplies, so we followed her here by ferry." Jarvis explained.
"A freighter." Huang Chen suddenly realized, but he was no longer so anxious to leave Ningyang.
Since Kaohsiung and the others are here too, we should at least meet them.
Chapter 803 Is it my fault?
Once you have an idea in your mind, your actions will naturally be different.
Since he planned to stay in Ningyang for a while, Huang Chen's pace on the way back unconsciously slowed down.
Jarvis and his companions seemed to have nothing to do, and now that they met Huang Chen, they surrounded him and followed him for a walk.
They had originally come to Ningyang just to find Janus, but unexpectedly ran into the commander. It was a long-awaited reunion, so the little guys were a little excited.
The few who were more introverted were fine and just followed quietly.
However, Javelin and Jersey, who are lively, couldn't help asking questions while they were walking.
"Did Sister Jeanne also come back with the Commander?"
"When did the commander arrive in Ningyang?"
……
The two little guys chattered non-stop, and often Huang Chen would start the next question just after he finished asking it.
He exchanged a helpless look with Jeanne, who nodded and said confidently, "Leave it to me!"
"Ok?"
Huang Chen was stunned. He didn't believe that anyone was better at dealing with the little guy than him.
Joan of Arc walked forward with a gentle smile on her face and spoke softly to Javelin Jersey. Then she saw the two little guys' eyes light up.
Then he came bouncing over and said, "Commander! Let's go find everyone!"
As he spoke, he couldn't wait to walk towards the pier.
He was still whispering with Jarvis and others, calling on everyone to go together.
"How is it?" Joan of Arc walked over, chuckled and straightened the hair by her ears. The expression on her face was confident and resolute, as if the somewhat embarrassed girl just now had disappeared.
Huang Chen was stunned for a moment. On the one hand, it was because of the girl's brilliant smile, and on the other hand, he really didn't expect Joan of Arc to be so powerful. With just a few words, she diverted the attention of the chattering little guy.
"What did you tell them?"
He scratched his head and asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, really. I just told Javelin that Laffey had returned, and that there were new companions in Jersey Harbor, Little Eugen and Little Zeppelin. We also chatted for a bit."
Jeanne smiled faintly.
Huang Chen nodded, somewhat dazed.
The relationship between Javelin and Laffey is naturally very good. As one of the three major families, they often attack together and are good friends.
Jersey has a strong and direct personality, and seems quite dissatisfied with his ordinary size as a child. The sudden appearance of the smaller Eugen and Zeppelin, who were once magnificent, can indeed attract the little guy's attention.
"It's the right medicine for the problem, but the key lies in that seemingly unimportant small talk, right?"
Huang Chen said with a chuckle.
Even if it is the same words and the same logic, different people can achieve different effects when saying it. Anyway, if Huang Chen tells the little guys this news.
He estimated that their reaction would be to ask more questions excitedly.
Jeanne pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "Actually, it's just that the Commander is too popular."
"Is it my fault that I'm popular?" Huang Chen raised his eyebrows, but he laughed as soon as he said this. This kind of words was really too shameless.
We didn't walk very far when we went out for a walk with Joan of Arc, and the little ones were a little excited on the way back, so we arrived at the pier in a short while.
Four yachts were neatly docked at the pier, and Bismarck and her companions were either resting on the yachts or taking a walk nearby.
Jarvis turned around and walked over to Huang Chen, pointing to a large freighter not far away and said, "That's the cargo ship from the port area. This time it's here to transport supplies to the port area. It shouldn't be able to rest and depart until the afternoon."
Huang Chen looked in the direction the girl pointed and squinted his eyes. "This freighter... seemed to be there when it docked before, but I didn't recognize it at the time."
His words were a little awkward, but it wasn't entirely his fault.
Although the port area had been established for a long time, the total time he had spent on the island was less than a week.
It is understandable that you cannot recognize the cargo ships in the port area.
"I think I see Enterprise and the others up there." Joan of Arc also looked over there and said after looking for a while.
"I can't recognize him, but Enterprise will definitely recognize him." Huang Chen shook his head and followed Jarvis and others forward, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of Janus standing beside him.
The little girl was wearing all white: a white shirt, a white skirt, white tights, and a small white hat. She followed along excitedly, as if she had completely forgotten that she was not a ship girl from this port.
Huang Chen smiled but didn't say anything. He just continued walking towards the pier with everyone.
Before they even got there, Bailey, who was running around outside, had already noticed everyone and waved excitedly as he came over. "Woohoo! Javelin! Why are you here?"
The other little guys also looked over curiously. Z26 opened his mouth and stared at Janus, a little curious, "My name is Z26, what's your name?"
"My name is Janus..." the little girl said weakly.
Z26 opened his mouth and held his chin as if thinking. Suddenly he clapped his hands and then ran to where the yacht was docked.
Janus was a little confused when he saw Z26 quickly running back, holding the hand of a weak girl with long silver hair. "This is Miyuki! We'll be good friends from now on!"
"Hello, hello!" Shenxue shrank her neck, a little panicked.
She was hiding in the room under the yacht reading a book, but she was suddenly pulled out by Z26, who introduced her to a friend.
"Hello, hello." Janus was also stunned and said weakly.
Z26 chuckled, "I was thinking you two look alike!"
Huang Chen was watching with amusement at first, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his palm and slapped the little guy on the head, "Don't bully them!"
Z26 immediately held her head in her hands, and Miyuki came to her defense, "No, it's okay, Commander."
Janus also explained, “I am very happy to make new friends.”
"Okay then." Huang Chen spread his hands, but still gave some instructions to the overly lively little guys, and then went towards the freighter with Joan of Arc.
"Hey, the commander is here too."
As soon as they reached the freighter, Bumblebee, who was leaning against the upper railing, waved and jokingly said, "Commander, have you finally realized that this is our freighter?"
Huang Chen looked puzzled, "You knew about this but didn't remind me, and now you're blaming me?"
Bumblebee curled his lips, "How shameless."
Huang Chen was not ashamed, "Thank you."
When I walked onto the freighter, I immediately saw Kashino chatting with a senior, and Agano and others looking around.
Enterprise stood aside and smiled, "The Commander is finally here."
Chapter 804: How did Hood and the others solve the problem?
Huang Chen felt a little helpless.
I can only say that Enterprise is worthy of being Bumblebee’s sister.
Although it is more reliable, it is estimated that they share the same thinking circuit and have the same speaking style.
"Ha, just kidding. Commander, this is your first time on a cargo ship, right?" Enterprise laughed, waved, and walked to the cabin on the side.
Huang Chen followed the girl's steps and looked around silently.
Indeed, this was his first time walking onto a cargo ship.
In fact, there is nothing new about it. The cargo ship is just an ordinary cargo ship, not big, and naturally cannot be compared with those 10,000-ton giant ships sailing on the ocean.
It's only slightly larger than the commander's yacht next to it.
At the stern is the wheelhouse, or lounge, with five or six rooms scattered around.
The remaining part is a sunken loading area, somewhat similar to the river sand ship in Huang Chen's memory, but without the conveyor belt at the front.
Huang Chen looked around the cab and several rest rooms, and finally walked to the loading area.
The cargo hold was quite deep, and standing in it gave one the impression that one might fall in accidentally. At this moment, it was half filled with goods, all of which were daily consumables, covered by tarpaulin.
"How many days of supplies can a ship like this provide for the port?" He looked for a while and asked.
"About four or five days," Enterprise said after a moment's thought. "Before, Hood and the others would come back about once every two weeks to replenish supplies, but now that the port area is more crowded, the consumption of various supplies has also increased."
"Some daily necessities like light bulbs and water cups are fine, but for fresh meat, vegetables, fruits and other foods, delivering them once every four or five days is already the limit."
Huang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Fresh vegetables, meat and fruits, how did Hood and the others solve this problem in the past?"
There is a cold storage on the island, but it is not suitable to keep meat or vegetables in the refrigerator for too long.
He had never paid attention to this issue before, and now he feels strange when he hears the company talk about it.
The girl pursed her lips after hearing this, her voice inexplicably becoming a little deeper. "We mainly eat foods that are easy to store, such as sausages, bacon, and cheese. We mainly rely on fishing for fresh meat."
"..."
Huang Chen was speechless.
He should have thought of it earlier. How could a group of Royal Navy ship girls be so particular about eating?
It’s good to have something to eat, you don’t have to have fresh meat and vegetables.
But now there are more people in the port area, and it won’t work like that anymore.
"A trip every four or five days feels too frequent." Huang Chen touched his chin. The port area is only a day's journey from Ningyang. A trip every four or five days means being on the road almost every day.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Can we switch to a larger freighter?"
The company shook its head. "It's mainly because fresh meat and vegetables can't be stored for too long after being transported to the port. Four or five days is the limit, and fruits and the like can take a little longer."
"Yeah... I see." Huang Chen nodded, unable to think of a good solution for a moment. "Try to make the intervals between cargo delivery shifts longer. Don't just return to the port area for a few days of rest and then have to go out again."
Enterprise smiled, "Don't worry about that, Commander. Cargo transport missions are very popular in the port area right now. They offer a lot of points, and you can even take advantage of official business to visit Ningyang. You can't even snatch them away."
Huang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment he shook his head with a smile.
This was completely beyond his expectations. He had always considered escorting goods as a hard job.
The girls in the port area saw it as an opportunity to earn points while traveling.
