Chapter 1018 The Stolen Minato Convenience Store Warehouse
While Lin Lan and several royal knights were working overtime late at night, they were in the Chongsakura camp area on the main island of the port area.
The lights at Akashi and Shiranui's Minato convenience store headquarters were still on.
"Stupid cat, what are you doing up so late?"
She had just gone to the convenience store of the White Eagle camp to replenish supplies. Wearing a black and red kimono and a cold expression, the black-haired destroyer rabbit-eared Loli Shiranui opened the Japanese style window and walked into the house from outside the courtyard.
Several groups of white will-o'-the-wisps surrounded Shiranui, constantly dancing.
At this time, Akashi, the green-haired profiteer, was sitting in front of the cashier, looking at the laptop screen taking inventory of supplies, with a confused look on his face.
"Shiranui, you came just in time, nya.
"Come and see if the mechanical parts, repair tools and mental cubes in our convenience store warehouse are missing again, meow!"
When Akashi saw Shiranui coming back, he quickly waved his cute sleeves to signal Shiranui to come closer.
"Silly cat, doesn't this little thing happen every year? Although this time it is indeed earlier than before."
Although Shiranui expressed his impatience, he still sighed and walked to Akashi.
But when she saw clearly the changes in various material inventories on the screen, she frowned slightly:
"Why did that guy steal so much supplies this year? The cameras you set up still didn't capture anything?"
"No, meow! That guy is getting more and more aggressive, meow!!"
Akashi let out a cry of grief and indignation that was extremely painful.
Just like Shiranui said.
Every year at the beginning of spring, some of the props, parts and mental cubes used for processing would be mysteriously missing from their convenience store.
At first, they thought it was an April Fools' Day prank by their friends from other camps.
But they asked every ship girl and got sufficient alibi.
The thieves seemed to be extremely familiar with the terrain of the port area and the whereabouts of their two bosses. They were able to perfectly avoid them and complete the theft every year.
The most outrageous thing is that the thief never attacked the commander's warehouse, but instead specifically targeted their private warehouse in the convenience store.
Moreover, the number of items stolen from their convenience store was not large.
Except for a few mental Rubik's Cubes that are relatively valuable, the other stolen mechanical parts and processing props are scraps and discarded products that they purchased from other camps at low prices.
This also makes them have no choice but to admit defeat every year after the investigation yields no results.
But this time is different from before.
Nearly a hundred mental cubes were stolen from them!
And a full third of those parts and processing tools were stolen!
You must know that during this period, because Xinghai Base was manufacturing aerial battleships at full capacity, there were a lot of leftover parts.
Even if only one-third is stolen, it will be more than enough to build several mass-produced battleships.
With so many mechanical parts and tools stolen, it is impossible to escape the surveillance system.
What's more, there are now two artificial intelligence AIs, navigator TB and Ariel, sitting in the port area.
"Could it be...that it was really Siren who did it, meow?"
Akashi looked at the electronic ledger with a sad face, covered his little head and said angrily:
"The last time I saw the Purifier, that guy had a big opinion of me.
"Those sirens must be taking revenge on me...Goooooo!"
Akashi was talking to himself, but Shiranui raised his hand to cover his mouth.
"Don't make any noise, I'm thinking."
After Shiranui finished speaking, he began to activate the monitoring system of the convenience store warehouse.
"Crack!"
However, at this moment, there was a crisp and sudden sound of objects falling from the shelves in the convenience store.
Akashi and Shiranui suddenly looked up in alarm.
Could it be that the thief... is hiding in the convenience store and watching their jokes? !
Just as the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, Shiranui winked at Akashi and was about to summon his ship and move closer.
"purin~!"
Accompanied by an extremely cute loli shouting, holding a golden mechanical cat claw drill in both hands and dragging the golden plug tail, the petite golden retriever loli rushed out of the shelves excitedly.
Seeing this petite lolita, both Akashi and Shiranui breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be the prototype Bree MKII.
That is what Lin Lan is commonly known as Jinbri.
When the commander returned to Minato and was in coma, they sent many barbarians from Minato to him.
This allowed the barbarians in the port area to evolve into dozens of Zibris and more than a dozen Jinbris.
As for the extremely rare colored cloth - the special type cloth MKIII, it has not evolved yet because it has been too short.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Lan once gave the purple, gold and Caibuli sisters vow rings.
The vows of the Bree sisters are not a separate vow ceremony like those of the Ship Girls.
After the commander swears an oath to a Bree sister, all Bree sisters of the same type will automatically have oath rings on their hands, and they cannot be taken off.
Even if they degenerate back to Barbarian Jiu and evolve into Bree again, their oath rings will still appear on their bodies out of thin air.
"Purin! Purin! Akashi and Shiranui, why are you still here so late?"
Sister Jinbrei came to the cashier with a bound, looked up at the two little profiteers, and asked curiously.
Akashi remembered that she had arranged for Brie to clean the convenience store today, so she sighed to the prototype Brie MKII:
"Hey, I can't explain it to you, meow... Did you see a stranger enter the warehouse today, meow?"
"Purin! I have never seen any outsiders come here!"
Sister Kimbree excitedly waved the exaggeratedly large golden drill bits in both hands, and added with a smile:
"If someone who is not approved by the commander comes to the port area, I will use a drill that can break through the sky to purin~purin!"
While speaking loudly, sister Kimbree also started the drill engine on her right hand, making a "buzzing" high-speed rotating roar.
Seeing that the trial model Kimbree MKII could not provide any valuable information, Akashi sighed heavily and waved his cute sleeves to signal the noisy Kimbree sister to leave.
But Shiranui, the little profiteer with rabbit ears, used his dark red eyes to silently watch the back of Kimbree's sister who left the convenience store and disappeared into the night.
It was as if she had noticed something that she and Akashi had ignored.
…
After leaving the convenience store, the trial Brie MKII came to the next street corner and let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that no one was following him, the experimental Buri MKII hurried towards the seaside of the main island.
After galloping on the main island of the port area at night for more than half an hour, she finally arrived at the beach successfully and controlled the drill ship to sail into the sea.
Not long after, sister Kimbree arrived at a remote island still within the waters of the port area.
There are several small islands like this in the waters of the port area.
On weekdays, these small islands are used by hurricane girls, submarines and destroyer girls as secret bases to hide collections and treasures.
Royal Fortune wanted to kidnap Lin Lan before, intending to take her to a secret base on a small island such as this.
But on the island where Kimbree's sister landed, the sharp sound of metal cutting and the clanking sound of knocking were faintly heard from the depths of the island.
The one after another noise is like a factory being built inside the island, which is producing at full power all night long.
This little sister from Kimbree followed the forest path on the island with ease and arrived at the very center of the island.
