“Pack everything well, we’ll be going to land!”
“Dude, turn away from Ye Jian if you’re going to change!”
“Wear your clothes properly. Although you guys have been exposed to the sun so much that you’re as dark as night, you still need to take care of your appearance!”
Ten minutes later, the two rubber boats sailed to the patrol ship. The soldiers who were neatly dressed finally boarded the ship and arrived at the port about four hours later.
The patrol ship set sail. Some soldiers, who had shred layers of skin, stood on the deck, staring at the distant reef; they asked the veteran who was standing with them, “Will we come back again?”
Last time, they said they wanted to leave as soon as possible, but now they felt a little reluctant.
“Of course, you all will come back. This sea area belongs to our country, and it is also our training base. We will come back often.” The veteran, code-named Big Eel, replied with a loud laugh: “Now you feel reluctant, eh? Don’t let me hear you guys complain about wanting to go back to land when we come back here next time.”
“We didn’t complain, okay? We just occasionally talked about wanting to go back to the port for some warm rice.”
“You don’t complain during the day, but you dream about it at night. When we patrol at night, we even heard some people yell, “I want to go back” in their dreams.”
There was a burst of laughter on the deck. The soldiers forgot the tiredness they felt during the day and started enjoying their three-day holiday.
Laughter faintly spread into the cabin, causing Big Shark, who was speaking, to raise his head. His eyes looked through the bulletproof glass of the house and fell on to the deck, “Now they only dare to believe that they are really having a three-day holiday. Devil King, you see how cruel and strict you were.”
He smiled, turned his gaze back at Ye Jian, and asked: “Little Ye, do you think the Devil King is more cruel than before?”
The soldiers, who were laughing on deck, had three days off. But two minutes ago, Ye Jian learned that…she didn’t even get to have one day off. When they arrived at the port tomorrow, she would have to continue her training.
“I haven’t seen how ferocious Devil King was before, so it’s hard to make an evaluation.” Ye Jian answered with a smile. Her mood did not deteriorate because she did not get to have any holidays. On the contrary, she hoped that she could seize the chance in the next fourteen days to experience the training subjects she had not experienced before.
Li Jinnian had a cold temper, but his comrades would not put his jokes into the heart. Sitting in the cabin, his eyes were cold as they stared at Ye Jian, who had gained admiration from her comrades. His thin lips moved slightly, and he opened his mouth, “Assemble at the port at five o’clock tomorrow morning, and we will take you to the base for training.”
“The focus of the training is on learning how to fight at sea and at close combat. Another three team members and I will go together. Do you have any comments?”
With a narrow smile at the corner of his mouth, Ye Jian said seriously: “I have no comments. I absolutely agree with the arrangement.”
This female soldier was excellent at this point; she had never questioned any of her training arrangements.
Li Jinnian nodded and ended the conversation with the word “good”. The whole conversation was not more than five minutes, and no more than a hundred words, which really stunned Big Shark.
One did not like to talk, the other did not like to ask,…how are they going to communicate?
“Little Ye, you don’t have any comments at all? Do you want to understand about fighting at sea and fight close combat first? You can ask us about it before the training.” Big Shark coughed. A smile revealed on his dark fortitude face, as he tried to have Ye Jian communicate with them, “It takes about four hours to get to the port, we can talk for four hours. If you have any questions, just ask, as long as it does not involve any confidential issues, Devil King and I can answer.”
Ye Jian really felt that she had nothing to ask, but seeing Big Shark’s shimmering eyes, that made him look like a pitiful beast, Ye Jian was a little unwilling to refuse him.
