The reason why it’s called ‘escape from death’ training and the difference between this training and the previous 15 days of intensive field survival training was there was no water, no dry rations and they would place Ye Jian in a ravine, completely cut off all food supplies, allowing her to find a way to get out alive.
During this week, Ye Jian would need to eat many things; for example, the greens would include grass, roots, tree barks, and sorts, for meat, there would be mice and birds.
No fire can be made, and cooked food cannot be eaten. Within a week, there was only water, raw meat, raw foods; such training was called ‘escape from death’ routine.
Not only does she need to pass the cut off the food and drinks stage, Ye Jian even needs to hand in a carefully drawn military map at the same time. However, she also needs to restore the ravine using sand and mud and other materials according to her memory after it ends.
”The positioning device must not be lost, there are the batteries in the phone,” Before entering the ravine, Principal Chen only gave two instructions before sending Ye Jian into the mountains alone to begin her week-long ‘escape from death’ training.
Ye Jian counted the necessities and confirmed there were no omissions before embarking on her solo training.
With the fifteen-day survival training during the winter break, Ye Jian was much more experienced this time. She no longer rushed along the way; she climbed on a tree to observe the terrain and then decided on the route of her journey.
The weather in May was just right, with green mountains and clear waters, only the scenery makes the soul feel refreshed. There were fragrances of the flowers brought by the mountain breeze, making her heart brighter.
Ye Jian, who sat on a tree branch, held a pen in her hand. She quickly drew the entire route of the ravine on the paper; marking were was higher and lower, which area trees were dense and sparse, it was all drawn in simple graphics; after drawing the icons, Ye Jian packed up her things and climbed down from the tree.
”She moved. It seems she had been observing earlier,” The red dot on the monitor began to flicker as it advanced, the data was directly transmitted to the military. Xia Jinyuan, who was sitting in front of the computer, pointed at the moving red dot, he said to the Major General with a smile: “She must have been drawing a map just now, drawing before moving, observing before moving, which is in line with her combat style.”
The Major General who had stayed up overnight took two sips of strong tea to refresh himself; he glanced at the irregular elliptical wavy lines of the flickering red dot, he asked with interest: “It seems you understand Ye Jian quite well, your evaluation of her is quite high, you really plan to pull her into the unit?”
”Major General, you don’t even believe in what you’re seeing?” Xia Jinyuan was drinking a cup of bitter coffee which turned cold, he had also stayed up the whole night, but there were no signs of exhaustion on his handsome face; he smiled and said: “I have nothing to say if you don’t even believe in your own eyes.”
When facing a subordinate who could choke others in every conversation, the Major General said in a sullen tone: “Do you even want to mention it? Do you wish to take another four years to be promoted from Major to Lieutenant Colonel?”
”I have no opinions at all as long as it’s arranged by the army. Come, Chief, let’s talk about Ye Jian, alright? Her affairs are important, my affairs are obvious, the army knows whether to promote or not, it’s not decided by your single sentence.”
Major Xia had never placed such useless ‘treats’ in his eyes; the future of the little fox is what’s most important.
The Major General understood his temperament. The more he went against him, the more he would go against you. Hearing his words, he said with a serious expression: “To put her in the position of ‘Phoenix King’, the army still has not expressed anything, further observation is still needed.”
”Even for you, the army used three years to observe before agreeing, it’s the same for Ye Jian. The three years in the military academy will be carried out according to the special forces training plan, whether she can sit in the position of ‘King’, Q King, Ye Jian needs to prove it with her own strength.”
