Everyone will be driving their cars, and your drill instructor will accompany you . We will depart from our province and carry out a cross-province training . ”

Ye Jian1Ye JianProtagonist and the Child of a Late Heroine was stunned for a couple of seconds…, after processing the whole thing, she said with a doubtful tone: “Political Commissar, but I… I don’t even have a driver’s license . ” She was worried because she didn’t have a driver’s license, not because she was incapable .
“Don’t you worry about that, we have made some arrangements . Hurry up and go check out the car you’re going to steer tonight . Your instructor is helping you maintain it . ” Political Commissar Yan admired Ye Jian’s confidence towards herself . It wasn’t the insufferably arrogant type . Instead, her spirit was down to earth, without exaggerations, and without being overly humble .
Once Ye Jian heard him out, all her worries got immediately thrown out the window . She gave a crisp reply and started heading towards the parking lot .

When it was 11 p . m . , the surrounding area had been completely cleared up, and after the overall preparations had been done . Jeeps started driving out one after the other from the underground garage . Only after they have reached the roads in an orderly manner did they turn on their lights and headed towards the mountains .
All of the cars were jeeps and not armored vehicles . From the surface, they look no different than the automobiles in the city . Ye Jian followed along in the middle of the motorcade and began her night-time driving training which would only end on Sunday .
At 0300, Political Commissar Yan’s voice transmitted through the walkie-talkies . He asked the instructor who was accompanying Ye Jian on her drive: “What’s your status over there?”
“Report, everything as usual . ” The instructor, who also hasn’t caught a wink of sleep, maintained his brain’s clear-headedness and reported their car’s situation . “Switch over at 0400, and the co-driver will take over . ” The co-driver refers to the instructor himself .

Meanwhile, they have already reached the highway that went along the mountain . The long and winding mountain road seemed to coil-over into the heavens and the car lights shined ahead . On one side, it illuminated the sea of mountains; on the other hand, the edge of a cliff without any railings .
The whole stretch of the mountain road was filled with bumps and uneven land . Ye Jian’s entire body was constantly shaking, and there was no one minute where her body was motionless .
After a 180-degree bend, they continued climbing upwards . One moment it will be a left-handed hairpin turn, the other would be a right-handed hairpin turn, and they drove that way so on and so forth until it was their co-drivers’ turn to take charge .
Basic driving, applied driving, long-distance driving and course assessment . Between these four stages, Ye Jian had already progressed to the long-range driving stage .

At 0500, the motorcade had stopped by the roadside . After a 30-minute rest in the deserted mountain reaches, they continued their journey . After 0600, the motorcade stopped following the mountain road . Instead, it turned to the depths of the mountains; towards another location .
“Attention to all cars, attention to all cars, we will arrive at the battlefield-simulating road section in 30 minutes . May all cars prepare for combat!”
Although it was Ye Jian’s first time doing a night-time drive, she knew what items were on the list . When her car had turned towards the abnormal route in the mountains, she immediately understood that they have arrived at the evaluation location .
There were around ten to twenty battlefield-simulating road sections, and all of these simulations would cover the common, yet sudden, situations they would encounter while driving .
The artillery barrage blockade was the first simulated road section, surrounded by the sounds of explosions . Ye Jian steered her car out of the area as the flames all shot up before their eyes . Even while seated in their vehicles, they could still feel the firepower .
She turned the steering wheels so fast that her hands became a blur . After they have exited the area and before they have covered a couple of dozen meters, they have entered the ‘cratered roads’ . The car was jolting, her body was swaying, and with the courageous attitude a newborn calf would have towards a tiger, Ye Jian was bravely training alongside the other male soldiers on this ground that was both unfamiliar and yet based on and established for open-country terrain .
Ye Jian, who had constructed tens of wartime lessons, couldn’t miss any of these trials . By refining her driving techniques under conditions that were infinitely close to actual combat, it would help her lay down a robust set of foundations that cannot get surmounted for the day that she will officially put on her military uniform .
