Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don t Mess Around! - Chapter 1249

Chapter 1249: Water Ghosts’ Specialty
“Although her resume is pretty, that’s only in the army. Now that she’s in the frogmen unit, no matter how complicated her past experiences are, she has to start all over again.” Li Jinnian looked at the time again, turned on his headset, and connected to a water ghost that he had been observing. “Big Prawn, how’s the situation?”

After a moment of static was heard from the headset, a rough voice was heard. “Maintain your original speed, keep your breathing rate like usual, lift your leg smoothly. Demon King, why didn’t you tell me that Ye Jian is… quite pretty. One minute ago, we bumped into each other and I was dazzled. She’s even more mesmerizing than a coral reef!”

…

To be able to describe a person’s beauty with the colorful coral reefs was a characteristic of water ghosts.

Li Jinnian never cared about whether a woman was beautiful or not. Before the army sent the documents over, there wasn’t even a photo of her. When they assembled, the sky was still dark and he didn’t get a good look at her face. All he felt was that she was too slender and didn’t seem to fit the resume.

“Keep a close eye on her. We’ll know whether she’s good or bad by today. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll send her back to the base tonight.” It was still the same words. The good ones would stay, and the bad ones would leave. They can stay in their original unit and be good soldiers there and can forget about joining the frogman commando unit.

Li Jinnian’s requirements to select his teammates could be considered strict. He wasn’t deliberately making things difficult for them. He was taking responsibility for the load on his shoulders and life.

He did not want to see any sacrifices. Even though he knew that sacrifices were inevitable, he would do his best to prevent his comrades from sacrificing themselves and let them continue serving the country.

He also did not want to see people trying to fish in troubled waters. That would be blasphemy to the country, disrespect to the military, and even more so contempt for life!

Ye Jian knew that she was being watched by a water ghost. It was not a difficult thing for her to wear specially-made shoes filled with iron sand. From the first day of sniper training, her hands were tied with iron balls, and her legs were tied with sandbags. At the end, she ran back and forth around the field of the new recruits’ camp in Fujun Town with weights. She held the sniper rifle and stood motionless in the scorching sun, heavy rain, and heavy snow for four hours.

However, the feeling of jogging with sandbags tied around one’s feet was different from wearing specialized shoes. The biggest difference was that the soles of these specialized shoes were very hard. It was either sand or stone around the skerry. When one lifted one’s feet, one would use more strength and consume more energy.

After running for about 40 minutes, the distance between the soldiers gradually became more distinct. The soldier at the front was 100 meters ahead of the last soldier.

Big Prawn, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the female soldier, rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he contacted Li Jinnian, “Demon King, is that female soldier hiding something? She’s still maintaining a decent speed after 40 minutes. Apart from her breathing becoming rapid, nothing else has changed.”

“Five years of training can’t be faked. She has the ability to show you what she’s capable of,” Li Jinnian said as he started cooking with a few other teams. There was nothing apart from seafood surrounding the island. The food they prepared was all seafood. If one were to calculate the market price of the meal, it would cost at least 2,000 yuan.

Using a combat knife, he sliced a piece of meaty and delicious fish into thin slices and placed it on top of a big shell. The raw conch meat was placed on top. When the 24 Navies and Ye Jian came back, they could have a seafood feast.

In order to train their will to survive and speed up the pace of training and the pace of life for the frogmen, there wasn’t a single bit of cooked food on the island apart from drinking water, not even a single biscuit. They had to be self-reliant.

As for starting a fire, that was even more impossible.
