"Oh, I'll come see you this afternoon!" Houston seemed a little regretful, but soon regained his energy.

Huang Xi just smiled, but thought in his heart that if you can find me in the afternoon, I lose.

Huang Xi walked towards the villa only after Northampton and Houston disappeared at the end of the path.

The lawns and paths were the same as when I left them in the morning.

But when he reached the door, his pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at the footprints in front of the steps with a serious expression.

Someone else came

Chapter 010: Revisiting the Port Area

There are footprints on the steps.

The marks are so shallow that most people can't even notice them.

But it couldn't hide from Huang Xi's sight.

After all, this has been one of the things he is best at over the past few years, and it has allowed him to sense danger in advance many times.

Has someone come, or has my sister come back?

Huang Xi listened carefully, but didn't hear any sound in the room, and there was no one inside.

Then someone has been here.

Are you here to look for someone? Who? Indy or your sister?

While thinking, he opened the door and slowly returned to the room.

Time flies and it soon gets dark. I don’t know how long my sisters and the others will have to work on duty.

Anyway, he didn't come back until almost dinner time.

In the afternoon, Huang Xi did not stay in the room, but wandered around, slowly getting to know the port area.

Without the hustle and bustle of Houston, he was free to explore the nooks and crannies of the neighborhood.

And with the help of Indy's character as an autistic girl, when he meets other people on the road, he only needs to nod to deal with them.

After an afternoon of hard work.

He already had a preliminary understanding of the overall layout of the port area.

The most central facility is the square, surrounded by various rest and entertainment facilities, including a cafeteria, an auditorium, a small playground, a playground, a gym and some miscellaneous shops.

Surrounding the square are two apartment buildings and a not-too-large villa area.

Continuing westward, you will reach the back door of the port area. There is a path that stretches for more than ten kilometers, passes through a forest, and leads to NY city.

However, few people take this path. Generally, goods or other things are transported through the docks in the port area.

In addition to these facilities, there is a place that Huang Xi can’t quite understand.

The node located not far from the pier.

As the sun sets, the entire sky turns orange.

Huang Xi stood in an open space not far from the pier, looking far away at the strange and peculiar berth. It was located on the far right side of the pier, and the shallow ramp was directly immersed in the sea water.

From the outside, it seemed to be just a slightly small berth built specifically for the ship girls.

But during this afternoon, more than a dozen ship girls sailed through this berth and soon disappeared from sight.

Huang Xi's location was about three meters above sea level. Combined with his current height of about 1.6 meters, he could theoretically see a distance of more than 70 kilometers.

Even taking the visual range into consideration, the sailing ships should be visible at least about five kilometers away.

But in fact, when the ship girl sails out from the berth, it will gradually disappear within a hundred meters at most, and no one knows where it goes.

At the same time, you will often see some ship girls suddenly appearing on the sea not far away and then sailing to the dock.

As for the name Node, he heard it from a passing ship girl. Of course, he also eavesdropped on the names of some ship girls in this way.

There's also some random stuff, like Eagle Sauce from Essex and the Grim Reaper fighting again or something.

If there was one thing I didn't hear, it was the word "Commander".

It was as if it didn't exist and I didn't hear anyone talking about it the whole afternoon, but it was undoubtedly good news.

Several small figures suddenly appeared in the distance, and then turned into sailing ships, leaving a white mark on the sea and approaching the dock.

"It's really strange, but it's about time to go back."

Huang Xi withdrew his gaze, turned and walked towards the cafeteria.

He planned to go to bed early today and try to fall asleep before his sister came back to avoid any accidents.

I walked all the way to the cafeteria entrance, but before I could even go in, I heard a gentle voice behind me, "Indy-chan, you're here."

Huang Xi's whole body tensed up suddenly, but he remained expressionless on the surface.

When he turned around, his pupils suddenly shrank.

I almost couldn't help shouting, Sister! ?

But at the last moment he still held back. This was not his sister, but just a silver-haired ship girl who looked quite similar to his sister.

If she was really her elder sister, she would never be as calm as the girl in front of him.

Huang Xi nodded slightly and said nothing.

The silver-haired girl smiled and said gently, "Actually, Portland asked me to check on you and take care of you, but when I went there, Indy-chan didn't seem to be there..."

Hearing this, Huang Xi reacted immediately.

Is this a doctor-like role?

So she was the one who came to the house before?

For some reason, Huang Xi felt a lot more relaxed.

He paused and explained slowly, "Afterwards, I felt much better, so I went out to eat."

"I guess he went out only after he got better, but I was still a little worried before I saw Indy-chan." The silver-haired girl smiled gently.

Huang Xi nodded, thinking that the topic ended there.

Unexpectedly, the silver-haired girl continued, "Now that we've met Indy-chan, why don't we go to my place and have dinner together?"

"Huh?" Huang Xi was stunned and shook his head subconsciously.

I don’t even know who you are, and I’m going to follow you home for dinner?

Isn't this inappropriate? After all, he is more or less a beautiful girl now.

"It doesn't matter. If Portland knew that I didn't even see where Indy-chan was all day, she would definitely blame me!"

The silver-haired girl insisted.

Huang Xi suddenly didn't know how to refuse.

After all, it was Portland who asked the silver-haired girl to visit him and take care of him. There was no legitimate reason, so there was really no way to refuse.

While he was hesitating, the silver-haired girl took his hand and walked towards the villa area, saying with a smile, "Then it's settled."

Huang Xi had nothing to say and followed the silver-haired girl silently.

Soon, the two returned to the villa area.

The silver-haired girl was in the front and soon stopped in front of a large building.

Judging from its size, it can accommodate at least five or six people.

She had just walked to the door and before she had time to knock, the door was opened from the inside.

The silver-haired cat-eared girl poked her head out and said with a smile, "Sister Kitchen Goddess is back. Ah, and Indy is here too."

"Well, Harman, I invited her to come over for dinner," the Kitchen Goddess smiled.

"Then I'll go tell sister York. And Indy, welcome." Harman nodded and hurriedly ran into the room.

Huang Xi looked at the girl out of the corner of his eye with some surprise. Is this a cat girl?

Are they really cat ears or just a headband?

He felt that it might be the former. After all, he also had horns now, and it was very normal for other ship girls to have cat ears.

This villa is much bigger than where Indy lives.

There is a large courtyard after entering the door.

Huang Xi followed the Kitchen Goddess and soon saw a familiar figure in front of him. It was Bumblebee!

Chapter 011 Is there a commander?

"Ahh...Indy-chan! Why are you here?!"

In the small courtyard, Bumblebee, who had blond twin ponytails but no flat chest, saw Huang Xi and waved excitedly.

Huang Xi just nodded without answering.

Bumblebee, however, seemed to have known this for a long time and was not surprised at all.

The female Kitchen God at the side looked a little surprised, "Did Bumblebee run into Indy today?"

"I played volleyball with Indy this morning!" Bumblebee gave a thumbs up and said, "Especially Indy's last secret skill - fast movement, it's really amazing!"

What the hell is the secret technique of fast movement!

Huang Xi complained in his heart.

The Kitchen Goddess seemed very happy, nodded and said, "Then Bumblebee, you take Indy-chan to rest for a while, I'll go see how dinner is going."

"Okay." Bumblebee nodded without hesitation, and looked at Indy-chan with a smile on his face, "Want to come over and play with us?"

Play, what to play?

Huang Xi was a little curious and looked forward subconsciously, only to see Bumblebee holding a long grass root in his hand and poking a small hole in the flower bed.

A small black bug had just crawled out of the hole when it was poked back by the bumblebee.

Huang Xi's gaze towards Bumblebee suddenly changed.

Are you playing with ants here?!

Are you some kind of child?

Bumblebee didn't seem to care. Instead, he smiled and pulled up another weed. He fiddled with it for a while and handed it to Huang Xi. "You came at the right time. I'm a little overwhelmed by myself."

As the girl spoke, she pointed to another small hole in the flower bed.

So, you want me to be in charge of this place?

Huang Xi hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward with the grass roots.

Bumblebee's face immediately broke into a smile, "Yes, that's right, we have to prevent the evil ants from invading the flower beds."

But hasn’t it been occupied now?

Huang Xi was speechless, but didn't say anything, because he felt that it was quite interesting to just guard the cave entrance like this.

I don’t know how long it took, but a pair of quick footsteps sounded outside.

But before he got close to the entrance, the door of the villa suddenly opened.

Huang Xi turned around subconsciously and found that Harman had been guarding the door again.

Bumblebee also turned around and waved to the dashing figure outside, "You're back, Sister Enterprise!"

"Well, I'm back." A silver-haired girl walked slowly into the gate and stroked Harman's hair with a smile on her face.

She was wearing a navy cap, a white uniform and a black coat, with a rather majestic bald eagle standing on her shoulder.

His whole temperament was quite dashing, and there was a gentle smile on his face, which made people feel close to him at first sight.

Enterprise? She seems to be a very powerful ship girl.

Huang Xi thought about it in his mind and nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Indy is here too. Are you here to visit? Hey, I remember it was your turn to be on duty today... Oh, yes, it seems that Portland asked for leave for you today."

The enterprise looked over, was stunned at first, and then smiled.
