Chapter 1247: Mighty Military
One, what quick reflexes. Two, she looks unfamiliar. Three, a female soldier. Four, the female soldier from the army!
It turned out that the person hiding in the dark was a female soldier sent by the army. The water ghost smiled. “The Demon King said that you should stay by the side and watch the show. You don’t have to partic.i.p.ate.”
After saying that, he propped one hand on the reef and disappeared in front of Ye Jian.
Ye Jian, who was kneeling on one knee and supporting herself with one hand on the beach, pursed her lips slightly. She had only glanced at him once just now and he had noticed her in less than a second.
Four minutes before the five o’clock a.s.sembly, the twenty-four Navies remaining after the first round of elimination were given an appetizer by the group of water ghosts early in the morning.
Within ten minutes, all the 24 soldiers had collapsed to the ground. One by one, they crawled up with dirtied faces and downhearted expressions and puffed out their chests as they gathered.
Ye Jian was already among them. She was standing at the end of the first row.
She was a new recruit, there was nothing wrong with her standing there.
Li Jinnian’s gaze slid past her face. His cold voice penetrated the sea breeze and reached Ye Jian’s ears clearly.
“End of warm-ups. We will begin the formal training.”
He did not say anything else. He didn’t even think of introducing Ye Jian. He pointed at the equipment that was three meters away. “Equipment, 2 minutes.”
They only have two minutes to change into their equipment!
After a month of devilish elimination training, the remaining 24 soldiers rushed over without even taking a breath and began to change their equipment… “shoes”!
The shoes were no ordinary shoes. They were specially made iron-sand weighted shoes for frogmen!
“Just slip into your shoes.” A water ghost in training attire reminded Ye Jian and swiftly retreated to the side. He stared at his stopwatch and got ready to call for a stop anytime.
Ye Jian put on the shoes and realized the abnormality of the “shoes”. She tied the shoelaces and lifted one foot to test its weight. One was… about two kilograms[1]. Two shoes weighed four kilograms.
Crossing five kilometers around the skerry wearing a pair of shoes weighing four kilograms. The brutality of frogmen training was evident.
“Her condition is good. Her speed is comparable to that of the male soldiers. However, their endurance might be slightly better.” The water ghost, who had been observing Ye Jian, reported the situation to Li Jinnian. Most of the time, his gaze was on Ye Jian. “Her breathing rate is stable. There isn’t much stagnation between the bowing of knees and lifting of legs…”
As a soldier who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and a female soldier at that, Ye Jian did not experience the first few basic PST screening tests of the Storm Commando Unit. Thus, she naturally became the focus of observation.
Li Jinnian’s understanding of Ye Jian was based on the information he received from the army. To him, this information was only about her performance in the army. No matter how outstanding her performance was, it didn’t mean that she would be outstanding in the frogmen unit.
Even after hearing Big Whale’s response last night, Li Jinnian still maintained his original att.i.tude. She needed to undergo training before he could confirm whether Ye Jian was qualified to stay.
“Demon King, there’s news from Big Eel. Three soldiers can return.” A soldier dressed in navy sailor attire walked over. After saluting, he smiled and said, “Big Eel and company will bring them back now. However, the rubber dinghy floated a little far away. It needs to be brought back by a patrol boat.”
“The main thing is to bring back Big Eel and the rest who are fully equipped. Otherwise, they will have to swim for another day before they can get back.”
