Chapter 568: Preparing to Dress Up
There is not much work to do except preparing for the Halloween event.
Missouri is back on Halloween, and Ella volunteered, so there's obviously nothing to worry about. Even after a long lunch break, I still feel a little tired. Even with the blessing of the sea, I can't just go out and spend time. This state is obviously not suitable for reading and studying. After chatting with Ella for a while, Su Xia, who has nothing to do, decides to go out for a walk.
After leaving the office building, Su Xia walked on the square and wanted to find the three little guys to play with. However, when she arrived at the activity room, she didn't see anyone. She thought they had gone to class. In the end, she could only sit in the activity room and took a can of Coke from the refrigerator - now was not the time to control calories, but to replenish calories - and she was about to look for Clarkson, but couldn't find anyone. In the end, she had no choice but to leave the activity room building.
There is a staircase next to the activity room building. The staircase is blocked by lush tree canopies. Only a little sunlight shines through the gaps between the trees and falls on the staircase. As the sea breeze blows, the tree canopies shake and create a ground full of golden fragments.
That stairway is Su Xia's second favorite place in the entire garrison besides the seaside embankment. The main reason why it is his second favorite is that it is quite far from the Guanhai Tower where he lives. If he wants to sit here, he must pass through most of the garrison.
Su Xia walked up the stairs and sat on the top step. She didn't play with her phone but just sat there for a long time enjoying the breeze. This time she didn't meet any companies or Richelieu. When the cicadas' chirping became louder and louder and she felt a little unbearable, she left the stairs and planned to go somewhere else.
Su Xia wanted to go and watch everyone's exercises. He was sure that Hindenburg was not serving as a sparring partner for the exercise team today. For some reason, he didn't want to go anymore and headed to the seaside embankment instead.
Standing on the embankment by the sea, holding the railing and looking at the endless sea, watching the seagulls circling in the sky and the sea breeze blowing through the sea, Su Xia discovered two girls piling up a pile of fallen leaves for barbecue under a tall fine-leaved banyan tree on the beach.
Su Xia walked over with great interest, only to see the two girls concentrating on grilling and not noticing him approaching. He didn't say anything until the pink-haired girl grilling fish looked up and saw him, then raised her hand and greeted him, "Javelin Grilled Fish."
Javelin, the eighth ship of the Royal Navy's J-class, the lead ship of the Javelin-class destroyer, was a destroyer built by the United Kingdom after the Tribal-class. Because of the reduced number of chimneys, it had more decks to accommodate torpedo launchers. Therefore, although it had one less main turret than the Tribal-class destroyer, its combat effectiveness was not inferior to the former.
Historically, the Javelin participated in the Battle of Narvik. After being damaged and repaired, it mainly fought in the Mediterranean. During the Dunkirk evacuation, it worked with other destroyers to rescue survivors who fell into the water, as well as the Battle of Madagascar. It was retired and dismantled a few years after the war.
The javelin in the game was mediocre before the modification. After the modification, its skills can greatly improve its survivability, but that's all. It has almost no use except for exercises to disgust other players.
After the modification, the ship's outfit had a tendency to "deep sea", and it was once nicknamed the Deep Sea Spy. It was probably the historical Javelin that surrendered to the enemy in the late war. Afterwards, several leaders and related responsible persons were sent to military courts for trial.
"Why is the admiral here?" Javelin was very excited about Su Xia's appearance.
Su Xia turned around, pointed at the seaside embankment, and said with a smile: "I was walking on the seaside embankment just now, and suddenly I smelled a fragrance, and followed the fragrance and walked over here..."
"Why isn't the admiral talking?" Javelin asked.
The reason why Su Xia didn't say anything was very simple - he saw that the fish that Javelin put on the grill was not the most common saury, hairtail, flounder, etc. in the garrison, but a colorful and strange fish, just like the colorful mushrooms that were not simple at first glance. He had originally planned to eat some barbecue, but now he was speechless.
"Nothing." Su Xia said stiffly, "I just walked over here anyway."
Javelin chuckled and said, "Admiral, did you smell the aroma of my grilled fish on the embankment by the sea? My fish-grilling skills are the best in the world. When it comes to grilling fish, even London-san can't be my rival."
Su Xia remembered that Javelin was also a master of dark cuisine. The British system produced many masters of dark cuisine, and London had successors.
"This fish is almost done," Javelin turned the fish over and sprinkled some unknown seasoning on it. He looked at the fish with a strange color and nodded, "It's ready for the admiral to eat."
“No, no, no, no.” Su Xia waved her hands repeatedly, “A gentleman does not take away what others love.”
"You're welcome, Admiral. I can grill it again after you've eaten it." Javelin obviously had no idea of her true level and was confident in her own cooking skills.
Su Xia was silent, frantically thinking of a solution, and suddenly he noticed the black-backed jackal girl who had been standing next to him without saying a word.
Blackback Jackal, a Javelin-class destroyer.
Compared with her sister ship, the Blackback Jackal had a torpedo launcher removed to strengthen its anti-aircraft firepower. After entering service, it mainly performed escort missions and entered the Mediterranean to fight after the Dunkirk evacuation until it was sunk by German bombers.
There are transformations in the game, but the skills are of little use and the strength is pitiful.
Su Xia looked at the black-backed jackal, and the black-backed jackal also looked at him. The girl with short gray hair and a white shirt and a short skirt looked a little cold, but the problem was that he was the admiral with whom she had a 100% favorable impression. When facing him, there was definitely no coldness, only a cute dog wagging its tail.
Su Xia touched the black-backed jackal's head and ruffled her short hair. She could feel the black-backed jackal rubbing his palm like a dog. She liked him treating her like that. Even so, his heart had already been eaten by the dog. He still said, "Let the black-backed jackal eat first. I see she can't wait any longer. I'll wait for the next one." He had to delay for a while.
Javelin thought for a moment and said, "Such a big fish, you two can eat it together."
"The size of a palm is nothing. It's not enough for two people to share." Su Xia made up all kinds of excuses to shirk responsibility. Seeing that the black-backed jackal was very moved by his concession, he felt a little uneasy, but he still hardened his heart and found an excuse to leave. He ran to lift the small red bucket that the javelin had placed next to the fire, "Let me see how many fish the javelin brought over."
His plan was to find a normal fish and help grill it, so that there would be no pressure to eat it. However, it was a surprise to see that the small red bucket was full of strange shapes. Even if a scavenger was put in, it would be child's play. The lamprey was nothing at all.
"Where did you get these fish?" Su Xia silently closed the lid of the small red bucket.
"Any questions?" Javelin asked curiously.
"No problem, just a little curious." Su Xia said.
"I asked Sister London for it. I don't know where she got it from." Javelin replied.
"London... okay." Su Xia didn't ask any more questions. As long as the ingredients involved London, the style of the painting would change completely.
Su Xia found an excuse to leave temporarily, mainly because she saw that the black-backed jackal that had eaten the grilled javelin fish looked obviously much more manic. The black-backed jackal would become ferocious after being injured. It was conceivable how much damage she had suffered after eating the grilled javelin fish. In fact, she planned to never come back.
Anyway, they couldn't stay at the beach any longer. Su Xia decided to meet Bu Niu and discuss the Halloween costume change with her.
Su Xia came to the mechanical workshop and found that her indomitable sister Kewei was also there, with long burgundy hair reaching her waist.
Bu Nie saw Su Xia and said, "Admiral, you must be here to dress up for Halloween."
"How do you know..." Su Xia said in surprise.
"Because many people have come to see me today." Bu Niu pointed at Ke Wei, "This one is earlier than you."
Kewei waved towards Su Xia.
"Let me ask you one more question. The admiral wasn't also looking for Yubari, but she was too busy so she came to me, right?" Bu Niu said.
"Are all the people who came to find Bu Nie like this before?" Su Xia asked curiously.
"You have such a vicious tongue," Kewei said, "No one would want to find you unless they have no other choice."
Su Xia nodded. He could totally understand why everyone did that.
"I saw you nodding, Admiral." Bu Nao stared at Su Xia, "Admiral also thinks that my mouth is vicious."
Isn't that obvious? Thinking about it, Su Xia said, "No, I didn't go to find Yubari, I came directly to find Burou... And whoever said Burou has a sharp tongue, I said Burou has a sweet tongue."
"Admiral, you are lying with your eyes open." As an indomitable sister, Kewei is not afraid of anything.
Su Xia just smiled and shook her head.
Kewei looked at Su Xia's meaningful smile, vaguely aware of something, nodded thoughtfully, and said after a moment of silence: "Admiral, do you have an appointment tonight?"
Su Xia didn't want to go anywhere tonight and just wanted to have a good rest. She currently had three plans: a night attack on the U-boat dormitory, a night attack on the Z-drive dormitory, or bullying Lord Sukhbaatar.
"Guess." Su Xia said.
"I guess not." Kewei asked, "Am I right?"
"What do you think?" Su Xia asked back. He looked at the indomitable workbench, on which were two mechanical bats. He remembered that Kewei had a set of costumes - Blood Flower, and thought that these two mechanical bats could be used to change the subject. "This is a bat... I guess Kewei's Halloween costume is a vampire."
"Admiral, do you like vampires?" Kewei winked at Su Xia with a seductive look.
"Not bad." Su Xia said, "Anyway, my plan is to disguise myself as a headless knight, make a huge suit of armor to hide myself, put a pumpkin lantern on my head, and then hide a drone inside the pumpkin lantern that can fly freely..."
"Put a drone in a pumpkin lantern and make it fly?" Bu Nao said while lying on the chair.
"Is there any problem?" Su Xia said.
Unyielding smile.
"So can it be done?" Su Xia was a little worried.
"Yes." Bu Niang said, "But a drone is enough in the pumpkin lantern. Do you need any other functions?"
"It would be best if it could emit fire." Su Xia thought for a while and gestured, "My idea is this... One remote control has many keys. One key controls the pumpkin lantern to emit fire, one key controls the pumpkin lantern to fly up and hover everywhere, one key can make it laugh wildly by pressing it, and one key controls the pumpkin lantern to fly back to its original position..."
"It's really interesting to think about it." Su Xia said excitedly, a man remains a boy until he dies.
Bu Ge thought about it and thought that it would be fine if the drone was covered with a pumpkin lantern and some functions were added. The most difficult problem to solve was that the drone propellers were painted black, which would be difficult to see at night. In fact, it was the simplest problem. He said, "It's not a big problem."
"The pumpkin lantern has been solved." Su Xia shook her head, "What about the mount..."
"There are no horses in the garrison, and I don't know how to ride one." Su Xia said with a headache.
"Why do we need a horse?" asked Bu Niu.
"What kind of headless knight is this without a horse?" Su Xia asked, "Can Bu Niang make a mechanical horse?"
"What do you think? You think too highly of me." Bu Niu said, "Do you know how difficult it is to make a controllable mechanical horse?"
"Forget it if it doesn't work." Su Xia also knew how difficult it was to make a mechanical horse. Even with the most advanced technology, there was no way to make a mechanical horse that could move and run freely. The balance of four legs was a big problem. "I'll think of another way."
"I really can't make a mechanical horse. Don't even think about it." Bu Niang said, "I'm just curious why the admiral has to wear a horse when he disguises himself as the Headless Knight. Wouldn't a motorcycle be better? Wouldn't a cool motorcycle that can emit fire be countless times cooler than a horse?"
Indomitable loves machinery and prefers motorcycles to horses.
Su Xia was stunned for a moment before he realized that he really didn't need a horse to dress up as a headless knight. A motorcycle was much cooler than a horse. And he happened to know how to ride a motorcycle. He said to himself, "Yes, a motorcycle. A motorcycle will do."
"An amphibious motorcycle." Su Xia imagined a scene - little girls were playing on the beach late at night, and he emerged from the sea on a motorcycle, laughing wildly and chasing those little girls. The scene couldn't be better.
"It's a happy decision." Su Xia grabbed Bu Ruo's hand, "Bu Ruo, everything is up to you. Just help me make a set of equipment. I will agree to it no matter what it is."
"Okay." Bu Gua touched Su Xia's face, "Admiral, remember what I said today."
"Remember, remember." Su Xia said quickly.
Su Xia felt that there were countless ideas in his head, such as whether to add a machine gun that can spit flames on the motorcycle, and how about a burning chain as a weapon. Now he needed time to think carefully, and said: "Otherwise, let's do this first, Bu Niu is busy first, I will go back and think about what I want specifically."
"I'm leaving first." Su Xia couldn't wait to leave.
"Wait." Kewei grabbed Su Xia's hand.
"What's the matter with Kewei holding me?" Su Xia asked.
"You haven't answered my question yet. Do you have an appointment tonight?" Kewei is not someone who is easy to deal with .
"Tomorrow." Su Xia said, she really needed to rest today.
"Why not today?" Kewei asked.
"It just won't work." Su Xia said.
"The admiral was injured last night?" Kewei looked at Su Xia and asked with narrowed eyes, "You should have told me earlier. I have medicine here."
"No, and there is no need." Su Xia said loudly. This is a question of male dignity.
"The admiral shouted so loudly, it must be true." said Kewei.
Su Xia was silent for a long time, looking at Kewei with sidelong glances.
