“It’s a beautiful resume, but it only shows her performance during the army. No matter how complicated our previous experience as a frogman unit, we have to start over.” Li Jinnian checked the time again. He turned on the headset and received a report from a water ghost that he had been keeping an eye on, “Big Prawn, what’s the situation?”
After the electromagnetic “zzi” sounds sounded from the headset, a somewhat rough voice was heard speaking calmly: “She has always maintained her original speed, her breathing rate is normal, there is no sense of stagnation when she lifts her feet. Devil King, why didn’t you tell me that Ye Jian looks…so beautiful. A minute ago, I had face-to-face combat with her, and she dazzled me, she looks even more gorgeous than a coral reef!”
……
Only a water ghost would describe the beauty of a person by the colorfulness of coral reefs.
Li Jinnian had never cared about whether a woman was beautiful or not. Before the army sent over Ye Jian’s profile, he didn’t even have a picture of her. The sky was still dark when they assembled, so he didn’t see what she looked like. He only felt that she was too slender, which was inconsistent with her past experience, as described in her resume.
“Keep your eyes on her. We can determine whether she’s good or not today. If not, then I will send her back to the station at night.” He was still using the same old sentence, keep the good ones, and leave the bad ones. If she couldn’t make it, then she should stay in the army and serve as a land soldier. She shouldn’t even think of joining the frogmen in the navy.
Li Jinnian was quite demanding when it came to selecting the requirements for recruits to be his comrades. He didn’t deliberately make things difficult though; he just felt that this was his responsibility, and also the responsibility one should have about their lives.
He didn’t want to see sacrifices, even though he knew that certain sacrifices were inevitable, he would do his best to avoid it and continue to serve his motherland for the rest of his life.
He didn’t want people who were just fooling around. That would be a blasphemy to the country, disrespecting the troops, and even contempt for life!
Ye Jian knew that she was being watched by water ghosts all the time. It was not a very difficult task for her to be wearing special shoes filled with iron sand. Since the first day of her sniper training last time, she hung iron balls on both arms and had sandbags tied to her legs. Then, she ran back and forth around the playground in the new barrack in Fu Jun Town. She stood motionless with a sniper rifle under the scorching sun, heavy rain, and heavy snow for four hours.
But running with sandbags on her feet was different from running in special shoes. The most significant difference was that the soles of these special shoes were very hard. The reef was either covered in sand or stone, so she would need to use more force and consume more physical energy when she lifted her legs.
After running for about forty minutes, the distance of the team gradually became apparent, and the soldier who was at the forefront was only a distance of 100 meters away from the last soldier.
Big Prawn, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Ye Jian, touched his chin thoughtfully before sending a message to Li Jinnian, who had not been interrupted so far, “Devil King, is that female soldier hiding something? It has been forty minutes, and she is still able to keep a close distance with the team. Except for the rapid breathing, nothing has changed.”
“Five years of training has done her good; she has the strength as you can see.” Li Jinnian and several other brigades were engaged in food. Seafood was the only food in the surrounding area of the island. All their meals were seafood. Such a meal wouldn’t cost more than 2,000 yuan if bought from the outside.
He used his fighting dagger to slice the fat and flavorful sea fish into thin slices and put it on a big shell, then he put some raw snail meat on it. When the 24 navy soldiers and Ye Jian returned, they could directly have a seafood meal.
In order to train for her goal, Ye Jian must be able to adapt to the frogmen’s training and lifestyle as fast as possible. There was no cooked food on the island except drinking water. There were not even any biscuits available. Her survival depended only on herself.
As for making a fire, well, that wasn’t allowed here.
