Ye Jian didn’t react much at Li Jinnian’s slight smile; she was not a big fan of smiles anyway.
But to the frogmen who had experienced so much hardship to achieve positive results after a few months of elimination trials, to see Devil King Li’s slight smile was… rarer than seeing the sun hitting the west!
As night fell, the soldiers in black rubber diving suits stood up straight, the expressions on their faces became more solemn than ever.
The senior frogmen in the team said… Devil King Li’s smile had a hidden meaning to it, and that was cruelty! And that meant that the training that they were about to attend to… was more brutal than ever!
In the past few months, everyone had experienced the “cruelty” of Devil King Li, and those who could stay until the end of the trials had endured his “cruelty”.
… Finally, they felt like a true “frogman.” But seeing how Devil King Li’s smile only meant more “cruelty” to come, everyone felt chills of a cold winter wind in their hearts.
Three days had passed since the last group of eliminated soldiers left, and those who stayed had also started three days of combat diving training… Devil King Li suddenly smiled, making all the people who stayed feel an endless shiver down their spines.
…… Are they still going to be eliminated? Is there someone going to be sent back today?
Even Ye Jian, a person who didn’t think much, couldn’t help worrying.
The pair of cold eyes glanced around and stopped on the patrol ship about a hundred meters away from the beach, gliding lightly over with a five-star red flag fluttering in the wind, and then quietly retracted…
“It can’t be that someone will really be eliminated, right?” thought Ye Jian silently.
Li Jinnian seemed to know what they were thinking about. After a smile, he kept quiet for a long time. He glanced at the nine recruits, including Ye Jian, with a cold, substantive look. Then he looked at the old veteran at the back row with suffocating smiles and stiff shoulders. He spoke with a faint expression, “You all have three days off…”
Before he finished speaking, Ye Jian heard a sound like air leaking out from rubber, and even she… gently let out a breath that tasted like salted seawater.
Fortunately, it was not an elimination. The recruits’ toes in the rubber fins loosened, and all the soldiers relaxed their straight backs a little.
“Everyone will leave the reef island tonight and complete the procedures for transferring you to the army.” In the face of the soldiers’ reactions, Li Jinnian’s expression remained unchanged. “There is something about being a frogman, you all will have a certain understanding about it during your three-day holiday, and you will also understand why our selection is so demanding.”
The soldiers who stayed wouldn’t be counted as an official commando member if they did not transfer their files from their original unit to the Storm Amphibious Frogman Commando.
During the three-day holiday, the original unit would send a document to the Storm Platoon for file transfer procedures. The previous glorious deeds, except for military merits and medals, would be cleared.
Once again, the “newly enlisted” soldiers were not pleasantly surprised by the sudden holiday. From their serious expression, one could still sense a hint of strangeness… They felt as if it was impossible that Devil King Li would let them enjoy their holiday happily as if something was bound to happen.
They felt as if… Devil King Li would not give them a holiday easily!
There were too many “feelings” that worried the soldiers as if the holidays that they were given were not real.
