Compared to the 16 branches that can be walked around in half an hour, Marineland is really huge.
Covered by trees, winding roads, and various majestic buildings, there are often large groups of elite sailors running past shouting slogans, looking solemn and full of momentum.
Along the way, the two country bumpkins, who had never seen much of the world, were so shocked that their scalps were numb. They stopped and opened their mouths and looked up countless times. They had never felt so small.
After being dazed for the last time, when they came back to their senses, the two of them had completely fallen behind. The only thing in their ears was the large group of sailors who had just passed by, and the sound of dust flying when they stepped on the ground.
Fortunately, an ordinary veteran wearing a dog hat who passed by saw them in a daze and patiently and kindly explained the route to them. He was also afraid that the two of them would go wrong, so he even drew a rough sketch by hand.
However……
With this sketch of the route in hand, the two unlucky guys drove back and forth for a long time, but in the end they couldn't find the location of the recruit camp and got lost at a fork in the road.
"Turn left, turn right?"
Standing at the fork in the road, the mouse, carrying a large bag and a small bag on his back, turned his head blankly and asked Smoker, "...Uh, is it the one in the middle?"
"How do I know?"
Smoker had a depressed look on his face, holding a cigarette in his mouth and rolling his eyes, "You can get lost even with a map. Why didn't I see that before? You still have the attribute of being a road fool."
"Then come on!" The mouse angrily threw the map on his face.
"It's no use asking for directions."
Ignoring the map slowly sliding down his face, Smoker sighed: "We can only ask others to take us there."
"It's so far away, who has the spare time..."
The mouse picked up the map again in distress and looked around to find someone who seemed easy to talk to. At this moment, there was a "pop" sound, and a cold, sticky white stuff fell on his face.
"Bird poop?"
The mouse subconsciously looked up at the sky.
"It's ice cream."
Smoker said lazily, pointing to the northeast side, "Look over there."
The mouse turned around and saw a little orange-haired girl with twin ponytails, humming a tune and flying in the sky with a strange spiral leaf on her head.
The ice cream in my hand keeps dripping down from time to time...
Then what a coincidence.
With a snap, a few more drops fell on the mouse's forehead.
The corners of the mouse's eyes twitched a few times.
"Hey, little girl!"
He raised his head and shouted angrily, "What's going on? Don't you know where to look underneath?"
"Eh?"
The orange-haired little girl finally turned her head and saw the mouse with a painted face made by the ice cream. She was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but point at the mouse and laughed loudly: "Big painted face, little cat, hahahaha——"
"How rude!"
The mouse jumped angrily, picked up the map, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it away, "Come here and apologize, kid!"
--call out
The orange-haired little girl leaned her upper body back and nimbly avoided the attack of the paper balls. She smiled and stuck out her tongue at the mouse and made a face:
"Just a little bit, you can't hit me, you can't hit me, come up and chase me, you stupid tabby cat..."
Mouse really couldn't go up. Although he practiced hard in Branch 16 and finally became one of the best recruits, and got the qualification to come to the headquarters for further training, he still had no introduction to the advanced physical skills of Moon Step.
"You come down!"
He shouted in embarrassment, "Let's see if I can catch you!"
"Tch, if you have the ability, come up."
"You come down!"
"You come up."
"You come down!"
…
"It's almost done."
Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke and glanced at his friend wordlessly from the side, "You are already in your twenties, and you are only four or five years old. How can you be so serious with a child?"
"That's what I say..." The mouse gritted his teeth, "But this kind of naughty kid who likes to cause trouble is really annoying. If you were teased like this, wouldn't you be angry..."
"I hate naughty kids too."
Smoker's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly:
"But don't forget, this is Marineland, a land of military camps. At just a few years old, you can fly around in the sky with new and novel gadgets you have never seen before. I'm afraid this little girl's life experience is not simple..."
Yes!
The words woke up the dreamer, and the mouse was so excited that he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
And just then.
Suddenly a cry of surprise came from the sky, and both of them looked up and saw that the blade-like propeller seemed to have failed and stopped rotating, and the orange-haired little girl also fell straight down from the sky——
not good!
The two people's pupils shrank, and they dropped everything in their hands at the same time, opened their arms, and rushed forward desperately.
But after all, the speed was a little behind. I could only watch the little girl's body getting closer and closer to the ground...
Whoosh!
At this moment, the two of them felt a dark shadow flash before their eyes, and the next moment, the orange-haired little girl was picked up steadily.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, paused, and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared. Unexpectedly, they discovered that this was a rare and beautiful girl.
The girl is tall, wearing lavender sunglasses, and has long pink hair flying behind her head, giving her a somewhat heroic appearance.
When she lifted up her sunglasses and glanced over, Smoker didn't react at all, while the rat beside him had half of his body numb from the electric shock.
"What a nice view……"
He could not help but hold his chin in his hands and twist his body like a maggot.
Smoker silently took two steps to the side.
It's really embarrassing to stand with this guy.
"Thank you, Sister Tina."
Little Nami was obviously frightened at first, but after seeing the person hugging her clearly, she immediately started laughing again and jumped out of the pink-haired girl's arms.
She took off the bamboo dragonfly on her head and fiddled with it for a while, but there was still no movement. She scratched her hair with some annoyance:
"It happens that the power is out at this time. Damn it. Forget it, I'd better go home and get some Firebolts to play with..."
Little Nami pouted and turned around to leave, but before she even took a few steps, she got a violent shudder on her head.
"It hurts!"
She covered her head and raised her head with tears in her eyes: "It really hurts, sister Tina, why did you hit me?"
"What do you think?"
Tina looked down at her and said angrily: "I didn't use any strength, don't pretend to be pitiful. I'm immune to this. I should apologize when I do something wrong. Go and say sorry to the two uncles over there."
Are you already an uncle?
Smoker, who had just turned twenty, subconsciously touched the stubble on his chin.
"No!"
Little Nami snorted, her cheeks bulging like a angry hamster, "I didn't mean it. Besides, my ice cream fell on that wretched uncle's face, and he also hit me with a paper ball.
This should be considered even!"
Uncle...the mouse also felt like his heart had been stabbed hard.
But Smoker's reminder just now flashed through his mind, and he shook his head repeatedly and said, "There is no need for her to apologize. It was indeed me who was impulsive just now. I shouldn't argue with a child..."
Nami raised her head proudly, her meaning was obvious - did you see, I already told you that there is no need to apologize!
"You're getting more and more naughty. Brother Nuo Xia really spoils you."
Tina frowned, "Are you going to apologize? If you don't go, I will tell Sister Bellemere everything about today."
Eh??
He actually bypassed his father and complained to his mother?
Damn Sister Tina, when she thought of the scene when Bellemeier got angry, Nami made a bitter look on her face. She had to return to the place obediently, bowed to Smoker and the two of them, and drawled listlessly.
:
"sorry--"
"No, it's okay, it's okay..."
The mouse was so frightened that he waved his hands hurriedly, "Just be more careful next time. Besides, I did something wrong. It's my turn to say sorry to you..."
Nami raised her head and glanced at Tina guiltily - I should have passed the test, right?
"It's so perfunctory."
Tina shook her head helplessly. There was nothing she could do with this little girl who grew up in a sweet jar. She rubbed her head and said, "Go home. Today is the day for recruits to enter the camp. Don't cause any more trouble. I'll stay with you."
Sister, go and study. If I see you riding a broom and wandering around again later, don’t blame me for being rude."
"Uh-huh."
Little Nami breathed a sigh of relief, giggled again, and skipped away.
Tina looked at her retreating back and sighed.
I don’t know how much of my own words this little girl took in. They all grew up in the same environment, so why is Nokigao so sensible and well-behaved?
It seems that I still have to find an opportunity in the future to remind Brother Nuo Xia that even a girl cannot be pampered like this all the time.
Now at the age of four or five, I can't tell much about it, but if I continue like this, I'm afraid I will really raise a unruly and willful young lady in the future.
With her eyes retracted, Tina turned her head and glanced at Smoker and Mouse:
"Are you the new recruits joining the camp this year?"
The mice were frightened by her aura and nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
"Why are you lost here?"
Smoker and Mouse looked at each other awkwardly.
"Don't be embarrassed, it's normal." Tina withdrew her gaze and said lightly, "I just want to go back, so just follow me."
This is really great!
The mouse was overjoyed and hurriedly called Smoker, picked up large and small bags and followed closely.
"You...are you also a student in the elite camp?"
On the way, the mouse asked cautiously.
"Well, I joined the camp a year earlier than you, so I can be considered a senior sister."
Tina didn't look back, "My name is Tina. You can call me by name directly, or you can follow the example of the other recruits and call me eldest sister."
"How can you just call me by name? It's so rude!"
The mouse decisively chose the latter, "Sister!"
Smoker smoked without saying a word. This guy Mouse was really unruly. This senior sister Tina was obviously several years younger than both of them, right?
Anyway, he would never be able to say these three words.
"You just..."
After walking for a while, remembering the conversation just now, Smoker couldn't hold it back and said with some uncertainty, "If I heard correctly, you called the little girl's father, brother Nuo Xia?"
"Well, you heard that right."
Tina glanced at Smoker and said, "That little guy's father is the famous candidate for general, Bailong Nuoxia."
"Ehhhhhh???"
The mouse was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he screamed, "White Dragon Nuoxia? That little girl just now is actually the daughter of Lord Nuoxia?"
His reaction was indeed a bit intense, but the expression on Tina's face did not change.
Brother Nuo Xia is so famous that he has countless fans all over the world. Over the years, she has long been accustomed to the ecstatic reactions of those fans when they come into contact with anything related to their idol.
"Idiot, idiot, idiot..."
The mouse hammered his forehead with his fist in annoyance, "What on earth was I doing just now? I was yelling at Lord Nosha's daughter. If I had known earlier, I would have been happy even if I was hit by ice cream hundreds of times again."
ah……"
This... is a bit exaggerated, right?
Tina shook her head, turned back, quickened her pace, and was too lazy to talk to the mouse anymore.
Probably because she grew up with Nuo Xia since she was a child, her eyesight has also been raised, and she really doesn't like this guy who always makes noises.
On the other hand, the white-haired recruit is obviously younger, but his personality is much calmer, which is a bit interesting. After officially entering the elite camp of the headquarters, his future achievements may not be low.
The whole journey was silent.
About half an hour later, walking through the boulevard with red maple leaves, the gate of the elite camp appeared in front of you.
"arrive."
Tina pointed to the door, "There is an instructor at the door who is responsible for receiving guidance. You can go and report on your own. I will send it here."
"OK."
Smoker nodded and said in a deep voice, "Thank you...you."
"Thank you, sister!" The mouse on the side immediately responded enthusiastically.
Tina waved her hand and left gracefully, while Smoker and Mouse looked at each other and saw the relief in each other's eyes...
After two years of hard work in the East China Sea, I have gone through many twists and turns along the way.
Finally... we have arrived at this dream place.
"New recruits entering the camp! Boys enter on the left and follow me. Girls enter on the right and follow Instructor Hathaway!"
A middle-aged man with grass-green hair and a shiny forehead was greeting loudly at the door:
"Remember my face, little guys, my name is Brandon. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be your chief deputy instructor for the next three years!"
"Let's go."
Smoker took a deep breath and strode towards the door, and the mouse hurriedly followed.
Although this instructor named Brandon was short and bald, he looked like a pot-bellied bureaucrat, but he was very efficient and quickly led the two of them through the camp admission procedures.
Student uniforms and dormitories were also distributed on the spot.
"It's all done."
Brandon looked at the two little guys and said with a smile, "Go to the dormitory and have a good rest. The camp will not officially start until the day after tomorrow. At that time, Mr. Zefa will personally preside over the roll call ceremony. Just don't be late that morning."
"Understood, Mr. Brandon."
The mouse was already tired. As soon as he said goodbye to Brandon, he dragged Smoker straight to the dormitory. After tidying up briefly, he went to bed tiredly.
Just when I was about to catch up on my sleep, I saw that Smoker had already put on his coat again, opened the door and was about to go out. He couldn't help but wonder: "Aren't you going to rest? Smoker."
"Mr. Noxia once said that there is no need to sleep for a long time while alive. After death, you will sleep forever."
Smoker opened the door, and the dazzling sunlight fell on the mouse's face. A faint voice came, "What does it mean to sleep on the first day in the camp? Why don't you take a good tour of this place, especially the training ground?"
