“You guys just temporarily build an amphibious combat underwater frogman unit. Old Dong, the task on my shoulder is no lighter than you.”
This one sentence contained a lot of information. The Navy Commander seemed to have guessed something, his face flashed in surprise, and then he revealed a cold look, “Sea, land, and air force? So that’s what it is! I understand now!”
No wonder Ye Jian must be sent here. It turned out that her future whereabouts and the direction of her military service had been determined!
“You see farther than me. She has been training for five years, plus four years of military academy. You have a soldier with nine years of experience in special training. She is still so young. Old Yang, you are really farsighted. I am ashamed.”
There were only four people in the surveillance room now: the operational, technical lieutenant, the accompanying Big Shark, and the two of them. No one would spread this secret out.
Li Jinnian seemed to have noticed that his “prey” had swum far away. He turned his back slowly to face the surveillance screen. Wearing a breathing mask, one couldn’t see his expression, but from the movements of his slender legs, one could see that he was in a good mood.
The current at the bottom of the sea was swarming with a bunch of bubbles in front of the breathing mask. A few unknown marine fish swam leisurely with the current. Ye Jian, who was holding the reef with both hands, narrowed her eyes as she swam towards the opposite direction as the current.
The draft of the inflatable boat was deeper than that of the inflatable rubber boat. There was a group of reefs nearby. If it was her, she would hide the boat behind that.
Since Li Jinnian was watching her, the task of installing magnetic mines could only be entrusted to her partner, Big Eel.
Under the guidance of the diving board navigation, Ye Jian and Big Eel found each other after 20 minutes. The two kept their heads up. Just about 50 centimeters below the surface of the water, they communicated through gestures.
Ye Jian pointed to the top of the water, then folded her hands, indicating, “He’s watching me, exchange duty.”
“OK!” Big Eel, who understood what she meant, nodded quickly. It seemed that Devil King Li intended to confront Ye Jian underwater, so he naturally would cooperate.
After the task was exchanged, the two moved separately again.
Ye Jian slowly swam upwards; when she was at around the 3-meter water level, she seized this opportunity to get close to the boat. For the first time, she acted alone underwater. Even if she was brave, she would not dare to be as comfortable as she would be on land. She remembered the essential precautions and steps for underwater activities.
Li Jinnian, who was watching her not far away, slowly floated to the surface. His cold eyes flashed with a thin smile, and he said to Big Shark on the boat: “She is here, I will fight her underwater first.”
“Don’t be too cruel. I can say that she was quick to react when she avoided you earlier. You can only see the real character during underwater combat. Don’t fight her as if she is one of our veterans.” Big Shark didn’t persuade Li Jinnian to give up but told him repeatedly, “Ye Jian is capable, but you still have to be careful! We don’t want to have any accidents!”
Li Jinnian also knew this; he didn’t need Big Shark to remind him. He made an “OK” gesture and put on his breathing mask again, then slowly swam under.
The entire training was centered on Ye Jian. Li Jinnian wanted to test out Ye Jian’s underwater combat. Big Shark wanted to see if she could successfully prevent them from landing their boat on the beach. The Navy Commander and the Army Major General wanted to see whether her more than one-month training was up to standard.
The turbid seawater stirred, and the danger came suddenly. Seeing a figure approaching silently like an electric eel, Ye Jian turned her body and swam 1 meter towards the sea surface. First, she must lower her water pressure before confronting Li Jinnian, who was charging towards her.
