Chapter 1114: Proving Her Capabilities As ‘King’
This training was different from the intensive field survival training she had for the past fifteen days. There will be no water or food during training. Once she’s in the ravine, her food supplies will be cut off and she will have to figure out a way to get out alive. That was the reason why it is a ‘narrow escape from death’.
This week, Ye Jian would have to eat many things, like gra.s.s and bark for her greens, mice, and birds for her meat.
She is not allowed to light up any fires, and she can’t eat cooked food. There is only raw meat and food for her. That is why the training is called a ‘narrow escape from death’.
Not only will her food supply be cut, Ye Jian still has to submit a carefully drawn military map. Once the training ends, she will also need to build a sand model of the ravines according to her memories!
“You must not lose the localizer. Keep the cell phone and its three batteries safe.” Before entering the mountains, Princ.i.p.al Chen urged her, and let Ye Jian enter the mountain alone to start her week-long training.
Ye Jian finished checking her necessary equipment and items and embarked on her training again.
With the fifteen days of survival training during the winter vacation, Ye Jian seemed more experienced this time. Instead of rus.h.i.+ng herself, she started by climbing trees and observing the terrain before deciding which route to take.
The weather in May was just right. With green mountains and clear waters all around, just looking at the scenery was enough to make you feel refreshed. The wind blowing in the mountains brought with them a flowery scent, lifting one’s spirit.
Sitting on the branch, Ye Jian quickly drew the ravine. The routes, the peaks, the troughs, the dense trees, the spa.r.s.e areas. She made them all into simple graphics, and then noted down the iconic landmarks before packing up her things and getting off the tree.
“It’s moving. Looks like she was observing just now.” As the red dot on the computer monitor began to flicker, the data was directly transmitted to the military. Sitting in front of the computer, Xia Jinyuan pointed to the moving red dot and smiled to the major general, “She must have been drawing the map just now. Drawing before leaving, observing before moving. That’s just like her combat style.”
Having stayed awake the last night, the major general had two sips of his strong tea to refresh himself. He glanced at the red dot that was flickering irregularly, and asked with interest, “Looks like you know her well, and you have high expectations of her. Are you planning to bring her into the team?”
“Major general, you don’t trust your own eyes?” Xia Jinyuan drank his cold, bitter tea. He did not sleep a wink last night, but there was no trace of fatigue on his face as he smiled, “If you don’t, then I have nothing to say.”
Faced with a subordinate who always had his way with words, the major general snorted, “Do you still want to mention it? Do you want to spend another four years from a major to a major general?”
“I don’t have the slightest opinion, as long as that is what the military wants. Come on, Chief, let’s talk about Ye Jian first, shall we? Her matters are important. My matters are clear, I know that you can’t decide my fate just by your words.”
Major Xia has never paid attention to any empty threats. His little fox’s future is what’s important!
The major general knew how he was. The more you go against him, the more he will go against you. Hearing that, he became serious, “The military has yet to show their att.i.tude about putting her in the position of ‘Phoenix King’. It needs further investigations.”
“Even for you, the military had to do their checks for three years before they agreed to it. Likewise for Ye Jian. The three years of military school is per the Special Forces training plan. As for whether she can take the ‘King’ position, it all depends on her capabilities.”
