Chapter 1749: Their Journey
The weather was good and suitable for training. The white snow fell, stretching for thousands of miles without end. Light shone through the clouds, illuminating the pure white world without any filth.
The members of the two teams who had finished counting their equipment quickly lined up under Captain Xia Jinyuan’s cold gaze. There was no need for them to form teams anymore. They just looked at the linear formation.
“All of you!” The young major who was at the front of the line stood tall and straight. His voice was like a bamboo breaking. Everyone’s attention was instantly focused on him.
Ye Jian always knew that Xia Jinyuan was an extremely charming man. He had the majestic aura of a soldier and the elegance of a man.
When he was under the sun, the Xia Jinyuan she knew was a gentleman. When he was in the dark, the Xia Jinyuan she knew was a bullet. He had a frightening sharpness.
At this moment, Xia Jinyuan was standing in the sunlight and facing his comrades. Although his gaze was sharp, it was filled with encouragement. He was like the compass of the entire team and their pillar of support. With him, it felt that all difficulties could be solved easily.
He briefly explained the important training program for today. They would start with the 40-kilometer hike today followed by tactical training, which was mainly for desert attacks.
“Let’s continue with the same method. There’s no so-called balance between work and rest along the way, nor is there any logistics support. As for frostbite and injuries, we’ll deal with them on our own. Do you have any other opinions? Alright, if you don’t, then let’s set off in a line.”
Xia Jinyuan finished his sentence in one go. He asked his comrades if they had any opinions but stopped them from voicing out.
He was just being polite. They shouldn’t take it too seriously.
At this point, who would still have something to say? What should they say? Nothing at all. They just needed to continue training obediently.
When they set off, it was still the same as yesterday. 44 figures were carrying guns and backpacks as they advanced into the desert in single file.
When looked at from afar, it was like a majestic dragon in the snow. The sight was extremely shocking to the eyes.
The desert training was even harder than the Gobi training. They had to roll and crawl in the sand. Sometimes, they had to rush down the high sand slope and shoot at the same time. At the end of the day, their bones seemed to come loose. They needed to massage themselves at night.
Ye Jian gritted her teeth and endured it. She only had one belief in her heart. Since she was here, she wouldn’t be worse than anyone else!
As the only female soldier of the two teams, she worked hard to stimulate the male soldiers’ desire to fight. Every day, she invested 200% of her energy into completing the day’s training.
These people, who were devoting themselves wholeheartedly to training, seemed to have forgotten the time and the date. They were already training at sunrise, and they were still training at sunset.
Not only did they train in the day but they also trained in the middle of the night. On the fourth day of training, when the entire team was exhausted, a sharp whistle sounded from outside the sandpit.
All the team members woke up from their deep sleep and put on their equipment as quickly as possible to gather.
“If you don’t arrive within three minutes, prepare yourself to be punished. My punishment is to have you strip naked and run in the icy desert. Demon King Li’s punishment is a little different from mine. Those who are late will receive their punishment from Demon King Li.”
Xia Jinyuan, who was waiting for his team members to gather, was calculating the time on his watch as he spoke. His comrades who heard his words felt their hearts turn cold.
