Chapter 66

**Thank you to Huiyi Xiaoyao, Dian Dao Luanxuan, Wuli Zhong, Bingfeng Jun, Na Bu Shi Sparta, Yongyuan Xuyu de Zui Ren, Wuma Cijian, Benfang Wuxu, Xu Kong Zhi Yi, Book Friend 141230164908339, Fangu de He She, Yufei Yi, Suxing AD, and the supporters from the Orange of the Yagumo Family! Abandoned Base—Guam 136564821, welcome all readers to join!**

**The recommendation list is still at the bottom. Well, I don't expect it to skyrocket, just hoping to maintain it. I ask for the support of all readers! Also, a certain author brother, I went to ask you properly, and if you had just scolded me, I wouldn't have said anything. When you advertised, you said it was the same genre, then insulted me in all sorts of ways, and I didn't say anything. In the end, you even deleted the post, and I still didn't say anything. But when you confidently told me that advertising was fine, I specifically asked the editor. The editor clearly told me it wasn't allowed. So I won't name you, but you should know better. I don't think it's appropriate to argue with you.**

**66. You bunch of scoundrels!**

**"Sigh..."**

**At four in the morning, Haihu looked at the dormitory building in front of her and took a deep breath.**

**Although the sky was still pitch black, for the shipgirls who had surpassed human limits, the faint starlight was enough to see the details of anything within dozens of meters.**

**Not far from Haihu, in the dormitory designated for the combat team, faint sounds could still be heard. It seemed they, like yesterday, had not slept all night. However, compared to yesterday's reasons, today's were clearly more serious.**

**'It seems I can't avoid speaking my mind.'**

**After carefully considering the admiral's words, Haihu could only admit that she had indeed made some mistakes. And not just minor ones, but major ones.**

**As the admiral's right-hand, in a crisis, her first thought was not the admiral but her own emotions. She had rejected a proposal based on personal factors and decided to keep it a secret for the same reason. This was almost unimaginable in the past.**

**Foolish loyalty. A blind and useless sense of loyalty. This was Haihu's final conclusion.**

**Haihu had deeply understood her mistakes after a night of reflection. More than her mental fatigue, she was concerned about the admiral, who looked tired but still managed a smile. How did he feel when he smiled at the shipgirls, knowing everything?**

**She didn't know, completely didn't know. If she put herself in his shoes, she would only feel anger and sorrow. The person she trusted the most didn't trust her. How did he face each day in such a treacherous environment?**

**Haihu didn't want to understand, nor did she want to. She only knew that she would spend the rest of her life making up for her wrongdoings to the admiral.**

**So she came to this place, seeking forgiveness from others and conveying the admiral's will.**

**Haihu looked at the door, from which faint noises could be heard, took a deep breath, and gently pushed open the meaningless wooden door. She bowed deeply to the people inside and then stood up, speaking loudly.**

**"I'm sorry for the disturbance. Please give this sinner a little time. I want to—"**

**Her next words got stuck in her throat as she saw the scene inside.**

**"Save me! Senior Haihu!!!"**

**111, hanging precariously from the ceiling corner with her fingers dug into the walls, called out to Haihu at the door with a voice that sounded like a cuckoo's cry, each word dripping with blood and piercing the heart.**

**In the center of the room, the 'Five Sisters,' or rather, the other five members of the combat team, were arranged in a crane wing formation, holding brooms and sticks, and staring intently at 111 on the ceiling, their faces serious as if they were about to do something significant, trapping the desperate girl in the corner.**

**"111, sister, I advise you not to do foolish things. Come down, we really have no intention of harming you. If you come down, we can talk things over."**

**110, with a big sisterly face, earnestly persuaded 111, who was hanging from the ceiling.**

**"We sisters just agreed last night to trust each other. How can you turn your back on us so quickly? We are good people, law-abiding citizens. How can you not trust your sisters? Come down, I promise I won't trick you."**

**"Do you take me for a three-year-old? Who are you trying to fool!" 111, no longer the naive newcomer, spat to the side with a look of disdain.**

**"I heard everything clearly last night. You were planning to trick me!"**

**"How can making you the flagship be a trick? It's a sign of great trust."**

**"If it's such great trust, why don't you do it? Why make me the flagship, the one who deals with all the trouble? No way! Absolutely no way!"**

**"So... what exactly is going on here..."**

**Haihu stood at the door, stunned by the scene inside.**

**No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand how they had gone from the shadow of yesterday to this ridiculous situation. No matter how hard she tried, Haihu couldn't comprehend what was happening.**

**Huh? If you say you're having a mutual bashing session, I can understand, but what does it mean to corner a newcomer like this?**

**Isn't the newcomer the only conscience in the entire base? Because she hasn't been corrupted yet.**

**"Ah, Haihu, you're here too? Let me explain a bit."**

**Actually, it wasn't a big deal.**

**Seeing that 111 wasn't coming down anytime soon and was baring her teeth, Enterprise sighed and explained to the bewildered Haihu.**

**"In short, we felt the limits of our abilities and the darkness in our hearts. We think the admiral's kindness has made us lose sight of our path, so we decided to give it all up."**

**"As the saying goes, we came with nothing and will leave with nothing. We want to experience the hardships we faced at the beginning. So we decided to give up the positions of the flagship of the imaginary fleet and the secretary of the abandoned base. But we need a successor. After much thought, we decided to nominate 111 as the successor."**

**Despite 111's constant cries of "You bunch of liars!" "This is betrayal!" "All of you are scoundrels! Scoundrels!" and other insults, Haihu more or less understood.**

**"In short, you're resigning in penitence, hoping to earn merit as civilians in the future, right?"**

**"Exactly."**

**Enterprise and 110 nodded.**

**"If that's the case, I have a plan."**

**Looking at the chaotic scene in front of her, Haihu thought for a moment, and a ripple of determination flashed in her black eyes. She then spoke to 111, who was hanging from the ceiling.**

**"Newcomer, you can come down. I won't let them force you to do anything you don't like. We all have a responsibility in this. So you can come down with peace of mind. I'll handle the rest."**

**"...Really?"**

**"Really."**

**Don't you trust me?**

**Looking at the doubtful 111, Haihu said seriously.**
