“After breakfast, rest for one hour, then we’ll proceed with swimming 100 meters while bound.” His gaze swept over everyone; there was no criticism, unlike the past. He only frostily left behind a sentence for the soldiers who had distinguished themselves amongst one hundred soldiers, who had entered the second round of eliminations.
Even though there was only one sentence, it was no different than a nightmare, making all the soldiers who were eating breakfast lose their mood.
Bound swimming required them to have their hands tied behind their backs, at the same time, their feet also needed to be bound, relying solely on their bodies to finish the swim. In this item, nobody can complete it just because they can swim well; they also need to have good mental qualities.
Maybe they’ve guessed that the second round of eliminations had entered the most vital stage. It doesn’t matter that they’re going to partake in bound swimming that was hard to overcome mentally, each and every soldier wore an extremely serious expression and did not show any signs of fear.
They didn’t show it on their faces, but when they were standing on the water surface, the corner of the lips of two soldiers started twitching, even their calves started to shake.
At the same time, this scene was recorded down by the members of the Storm Commandos and will be written down in their personal results.
“Relax your body, just relax and swim as usual without moving your hands and feet.” Big Shark, who was helping Ye Jian tie her hands behind her back, gently reminded, “Use the strength of your waist to move forward, you must move quickly and don’t loosen your breath while swimming.”
With brows revealing a hint of light-heartedness, Ye Jian smiled as she joked, “Thank goodness there are only 100 meters, if I really had to swim 200 meters like you guys, then I wouldn’t be confident at all.”
Although Ye Jian had trained alongside the soldiers, but her identity was unique, and knew about the uniqueness of Li Jinnian’s unit, that’s why she was usually able to say some jokes with the members of the Storm Commandos.
Meanwhile, the Storm Commandos members also liked to chat around with Ye Jian, who was much stronger than the male soldiers. A female Special Forces of the Ground Forces that lived up to her name, hearing that, Big Shark chuckled as he replied: “Swim-up a good result, and let our Navy Commander have another chance to exclaim for another while, his heart aching as to why you’re not a member of our Navy.”
All of the twenty-eight soldiers had their hands and feet tied. All they waited for was for the whistle to be blown before they’d jump into the water and swim for 100 meters.
The time to test their swimming abilities and their mental fortitude had arrived.
The piercing whistle was blown, watching Ye Jian, it was as if she had transformed into a sea-fish, her speed was rapid, the posture of her entering the water was extremely graceful without an ounce of hesitation as she plunged into the water.
The water surface started bubbling, ‘thumps’ followed one after the another, as the twenty-eight figures all jumped into the water.
The Storm Commando members, who were holding stopwatches, had already started counting time. They were all waiting for the soldiers to finish their 100 meters then record the time they took into their results table.
It was precise as Big Shark had said, with hands and feet bound, swimming underwater relied solely on her waist’s strength. Ye Jian’s swimming capabilities weren’t the best, but she was definitely the most agile one. Combining that with her high CO2 tolerance adaptability, even though she wasn’t too good a swimmer, she managed to squeeze into the top three.
“She was the first one to jump into the water, Devil King, I dare bet she’ll be in the top three.” Big Shark whispered to Li Jinnian, the excitement in his voice was hard to hide, “With this pace, our unit could absolutely recruit a female frogman. Devil King, try to consider getting her from the tiger’s mouth.”
Big Shark wasn’t the only one who wanted that; even the Navy Commander wanted that.
Li Jinnian glanced indifferently at his comrade, “Any ideas to get her? You go ahead?”
“I believe the Navy Commander has such thoughts. Unfortunately, that won’t work.” Big Shark said dejectedly, then he noticed there were already soldiers breaking the surface, then he saw Ye Jian close behind as she broke the water surface. With glowing eyes, he was so excited as though he himself was in training, the excitement in his voice was already hard to contain, “Top three, top three! In the top three, as expected!”
