Chapter 1081: Major Xia Appears
Ye Jian, who was walking, only remembered that she had been walking for twelve days. She didn’t mind welcoming the Chinese New Year alone in the rainforest. She was trying her best to protect her own life as she was doing the outdoor inferno training alone without any reinforcement.
“I will maintain a clear mind and my vigilance. I will keep my body strong. Without them, I won’t be able to repay the country. I will not disappoint my country and I won’t ruin the reputation of my military unit.”
“My goal is to complete this mission and complete my next mission alive!”
Every time her legs felt as heavy as steel, every time she got a low fever because she was bitten by bugs, every time she met wild beasts hunting for food and had to escape with all her might, Ye Jian would chant the pledges from the different Special Forces from the world. She would use these pledges and beliefs to force herself to move forward!
The first day of 1999 pa.s.sed. The second day pa.s.sed… until the third day. It was the third day of the Chinese New Year, at 2 pm. Ye Jian, who was completing her outdoor training alone, arrived at the final destination four hours ahead of the predicted time. This was her 15th day of outdoor training.
To make sure that she reached the final destination on time, Ye Jian split the six hours she used to clear up the drug dealers into six days. Every day, she would start her journey an hour ahead of the prearranged time so that she could catch up with her progress.
She reached the destination four hours ahead of the allocated time. She hugged her gun and leaned against a rock as she regulated her breathing. The fifteen days spent in the rainforest didn’t tire her out but when she was finally able to relax and let down her guard, tiredness and exhaustion crept up her heart. Her eyes became so heavy it felt as though rocks were hanging on them.
“She’s indeed tired. Let her have some rest.” Looking at the exhausted figure not far away from him, Xia Jinyuan’s gaze turned gentle. It was like the warm sunlight, protecting her silently.
The small and skinny girl had grown up into a qualified Special Forces soldier. She was walking on the path to becoming the most outstanding person she could be. He felt a little heartache when he saw how tired she was but he felt relieved too.
At 18 years old, Ye Jian used her ability to prove to the military that she could definitely become the rarest breed among the soldiers, a Special Forces soldier.
She needed to show the military that there was still endless potential in her waiting to be developed!
The sun was very warm. It shone on her body and warmed her body up. It was indeed easy for her to fall asleep. Uncle Chen felt that he could let Jian have some rest. There were still four hours before the mission ended. She could rest for four hours.
“Alright. She came back four hours ahead of time and helped our comrades to complete their mission. Jian is indeed tired. She’s the only female soldier who could do this!”
Uncle Chen’s gaze was amiable. As an elder, he was encouraging the younger generation. He was using his own method to groom Ye Jian.
Without Uncle Gen or Uncle Chen, Ye Jian wouldn’t be who she was today. Without these two elders to enlighten her, Ye Jian wouldn’t be able to walk on the military path even if she solved the issue that changed her life during eighth grade.
Xia Jinyuan respected Uncle Chen greatly.
“Uncle Chen, leave this to me. The major general is in front. You can discuss the details of Ye Jian entering the military ahead of time with him. I have a suggestion too. Maybe you can ask for some resources from the major general. For instance, the delegation of the students from the military school to the military units during the summer and winter vacation. Will he be able to arrange them for Ye Jian?”
“She has not come into contact with airborne landing, diving, and armored carriers. If she is able to learn these skills that are necessary for Special Forces soldiers in the military school, she would have a smoother career path after she graduates.”
“Experience in mountain warfare, jungle warfare, desert warfare, guerrilla warfare, counter- terrorism warfare, and snow warfare can be gained after she graduates. However, she needs to learn and be skilled in her techniques in school.”
