“Pack up everything. Pack up everything. We’re transferring camp.”
“Kid, stay away from Ye Jian when you change your clothes!”
“Wear your clothes properly. Although you have become so tanned that you are one with the night, you still need to look energetic!”
Ten minutes later, two rubber dinghies drove towards the patrol ship. The fully dressed soldiers finally boarded the ship. They will arrive at the port about four hours later.
The patrol ship set sail. A few soldiers who had shed a few layers of skin stood on the deck and looked at the distant skerry. They asked the veteran standing with them, “Will we come again?”
In the past, they just wanted to leave as soon as possible. Now, they couldn’t bear to leave.
“Of course we will come back. This sea belongs to our country and is our training base. We will come back often,” replied the veteran with the codename Big Eel. He laughed loudly and said, “If you feel that you can’t bear to part with it now, don’t complain about wanting to go back to land next time.”
“We didn’t complain. We just occasionally said that we want to go back to the port for a hot meal.”
“You don’t complain in the day but you do in your dreams at night. When we patrol at night, someone will shout ‘let me go back’ in his dream.”
For a moment, the deck was filled with laughter. Everyone forgot about the fatigue from the day and started to enjoy the three-day holiday that had already started.
The laughter could be heard in the cabin. Big Shark raised his head and looked at the deck through the windshield. “They finally believe that it’s a holiday now. Demon King, your savagery has upped a level.”
He smiled and retracted his gaze. He asked Ye Jian, “Little Ye, do you think that the Demon King has become more brutal than before?”
The laughing soldiers on the deck had three days of leave. Two minutes ago, Ye Jian learned that she didn’t even have one day of leave. She will continue her training tomorrow morning at the port.
“I didn’t see how brutal the devil was in the past. It’s hard to judge,” Ye Jian replied with a smile. Her mood didn’t turn bad because she didn’t have a vacation. On the contrary, she hoped that she could use the next 14 days to train in subjects that she had never experienced before.
Li Jinnian had a cold personality but his comrades wouldn’t take his jokes and teases to heart. Sitting in the cabin, he looked at Ye Jian with a cold gaze. His thin lips moved slightly as he said, “Gather at the port at 5 am tomorrow. We will bring you to the base for training.
“We will focus on learning how to fight at sea and close range. Three other members and I will bring you there. Do you have any objections?”
Ye Jian retracted her smile and said seriously, “I have no objections. I will follow your arrangements.”
Female soldiers were good in this aspect. They never raised any questions about the training arrangements.
Li Jinnian nodded and ended the conversation with an ‘okay’. The entire conversation lasted for less than five minutes. There were less than a hundred words. It was so simple that Big Shark was stunned.
One didn’t like to talk and the other didn’t like to ask… How were they supposed to communicate? How were they supposed to interact?
“Little Ye, you don’t have any objections at all? Do you want to understand how close combat is when you are fighting on the sea? You can ask us first.” Big Shark coughed and smiled. He tried to get closer to Ye Jian. “It will take around four hours to reach the port. We can talk for four hours. If you have any questions, you can ask them. As long as it’s not confidential, Demon King and I can answer them.”
Ye Jian felt that she didn’t have anything to ask. However, when she saw the bright eyes of Big Shark, which looked like a pitiful beast, she couldn’t bear to reject him.
