Chapter 1255: Untitled
Ye Jian had already stood up. Her intuition told her that the middle-aged man walking towards her might be one of the leaders of the unit with a position second only to Li Jinnian.
Otherwise, Big Whale wouldn’t have consciously fallen behind him.
The water ghosts, who were talking to Ye Jian, lowered their heads when they saw Big Shark. They looked serious.
They didn’t remind Ye Jian of his identity. Demon King didn’t introduce Ye Jian this morning. There seemed to be a deeper meaning behind it. They didn’t mention their code names when they were chatting either.
The soldiers, whose mouths were full of fishy food, stood up one after another. Smiling, they said, “Does Vice-Captain have any orders for us?”
“Vice-Captain, you’re smiling so widely. I’m panicking. You can say what you want to say. Don’t suddenly drop a bomb on me when we are enjoying a conversation. I can’t take it anymore.” A soldier from the Northeast region said honestly. He was the only northerner on the team.
Big Shark patted his shoulder and laughed. “Enjoy your food. The next training will remain unchanged: swim fully-geared for 500 meters. Eat more, or you won’t have the energy to swim.”
“Then I’m relieved, hehe.” The northeasterner soldier was finally relieved. Ever since he came here for the frogmen selection, he had been living in fear every day. He was afraid that his heart wouldn’t be able to take it.
He wasn’t the only one who heard it. The other 23 soldiers all heaved a sigh of relief.
So he was the vice-captain of the Storm Commando Unit. Smiling, Ye Jian looked at the middle-aged man who was walking towards her. “Hello, vice-captain.”
“Little Ye, your performance this morning was not bad.” The eyes of Big Shark, who looked more mature and capable than a group of young soldiers, were burning like torches. He looked at Ye Jian amiably. “Your move really stunned us. Very few female soldiers are as capable as you.”
“Vice-Captain, you flatter me. It’s because I started training a few years earlier. I have the advantage of time. If I only trained for a year or so, I wouldn’t be able to run today even if I wanted to.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers and water ghosts that chatted with Ye Jian just now laughed out loud.
“Vice-Captain, you can’t be biased because a female soldier came.”
“Shoo, shoo, shoo. Does Ye Jian need a bias? Her military age is higher than ours! Amazing!”
“All of you, hurry up and eat your fill. Demon King is waiting for you in front.” The usually kind Big Shark smiled as he finished speaking. When he saw the fear on the faces of the soldiers, the smile on his face got deeper.
Ye Jian found it interesting. The vice-captain was amiable. He complemented Li Jinnian perfectly.
“Little Ye, come over for a moment. There’s something I need to discuss with you.” After speaking to the soldiers, Big Shark lowered his voice and said to Ye Jian, “You can’t participate in the water-related training for now. Follow me to do two tests first.”
Ye Jian, who was mentally prepared, nodded slightly and left with Big Shark.
“Oxygen deprivation and high CO2 are indispensable tests for us. You should have known before coming that the danger of the frogmen is different from that of the army.”
“We carry out missions in the water. The moment we enter the water, one of our legs will be stepping past the gates of hell. When we travel in the deep sea, we might get suffocated and drown at any moment. If the soldiers have outstanding oxygen deprivation and high resistance against CO2, they will have a chance of survival even if it’s just thirty seconds.”
As he spoke, he brought Ye Jian to the back of the skerry and stepped on a small path that led to the other side of the island.
