Chapter 1241: See How Good She Is
A few soldiers put on their diving suits and flipped off the rubber dinghy. The three ‘water ghosts’ were less than two nautical miles away from them. They quietly floated to the surface of the sea and noted down the names of the soldiers who went down first.
Being eliminated during the first round did not mean that they were allowed to pack their things and return to the original units. The Demon King’s selection was never done according to the normal procedure. It had always been the Demon King’s style to find potential candidates from the eliminated soldiers.
These soldiers who came from various troops had been screened in their original troops. Their individual comprehensive ability was considered quite good. The likely reason they got eliminated in the first round could be that they had not adapted to the training method and thus became a burden.
The only way to make a final judgment was to observe their ability to respond, survive, and react quickly.
It was like finding gold in the sand. One had to put in the effort.
Waves rose and fell on the surface of the sea. The rubber dinghy was high and low at times. The soldiers took turns to stand guard with the starry sky above their heads. They surveyed the sea intently. Once they discovered anything, they would inform their comrades immediately.
The lightweight special wars.h.i.+p was slightly less turbulent due to its draft. Ye Jian changed into her navy training uniform and ate simple canned food with the soldiers on the special wars.h.i.+p. They bobbed all the way to the skerry.
Ye Jian didn’t get seasick. She could still make use of the turbulence to catch up on her sleep. The situation was unexpectedly good.
The lightweight special battles.h.i.+p reached the sh.o.r.e 15 minutes earlier than expected. Li Jinnian, who had been waiting by the sea, suddenly turned around and said to his teammate with the code name ‘Big Whale’ beside him, “Take a look first, then bring her to a single tent to rest. If necessary, try the ‘waters’ and let me know.”
“That’s not very kind. She’s a female soldier after all. Are you trying to intimidate her?” Great Whale was a little surprised. He advised softly, “Let’s be gentle for now. I’m afraid the person sent by the army has some status.”
Li Jinnian’s lips twitched into a smile. “She has no status. I’ve already looked through the information. Her mother is even a martyr.” He decided not to change his mind. He glanced at the lightweight special wars.h.i.+p that had stopped and patted Big Whale on the shoulder before leaving with a cold expression.
Even Xia Jinyuan thinks that this female soldier was not bad. She should be good. It will be good to let Big Whale test the waters first and see if it was true or not.
“How do you want me to test the daughter of a martyr? There aren’t many people in the army who can swim well, right? The lightweight special wars.h.i.+p will stop about 30 meters away from us. Can she swim 30 meters while carrying a backpack? If I go over and scare her and she chokes on water… Demon King, be careful of the commander’s fist.”
Big Whale was a little worried. He wasn’t familiar with the new female soldier and didn’t know if she was good with water. If he accidentally injures her or lets her get swept away by the seawater… That wouldn’t be a joke.
Li Jinnian could tell that his team member was treating the new female soldier like a normal elite soldier, so he reminded her calmly, “She is a reserve Special Forces soldier.”
It meant: Don’t underestimate her.
Big Whale’s expression suddenly turned serious as he nodded. “She has some background, but I’m afraid something might happen.”
“Act according to the situation. I’ll leave it to you,” Li Jinnian said as he walked towards the campsite.
“Underwater or above water?” Big Whale’s excited voice came from behind. Li Jinnian, who was walking under the starry sky, made a gesture. Big Whale took off his training uniform and blended into the surroundings as if he became invisible. Under the starlight, a strong figure dived into the water.
If he wants to test underwater, so be it. He had never fought with a female Special Forces soldier before. This will be interesting!
