Chapter 1293: Danger!
“Ye Jian is an outstanding soldier. After a week of underwater weight training, she completed the fully-geared swim training with flippers in third place!” Big Whale spoke with a prideful look on his face. It was evident that he acknowledged Ye Jian’s ability. “Major general, we all think that Ye Jian will have a place in any military unit she is in in the future. All male soldiers will look up to her!”
Ye Jian didn’t know that the water ghosts had such a high opinion of her. At this moment, she was already 17 meters deep underwater. The feeling of being stared at by Demon King Li still existed.
The feeling of being stared at in the water was scarier than being stared at on land. Physically and psychologically, it wasn’t like being stared at on land where you could still run away immediately and find a hiding place. There was nothing in the water. You couldn’t hide even if you wanted to!
Her physiology and mentality were being challenged. The pressure from being in deep water pressed on her limbs, adding to her already tense emotions. Ye Jian touched a reef and grabbed it with both hands. Feeling something solid in her palms relieved her tense emotions.
She didn’t even see Li Jinnian’s shadow in the water. However, she felt like she was being watched. Even though she was hiding behind the reef, she didn’t relax.
Frogmen underwater combat was a two-person combat. If a comrade got into trouble, their partner could save them immediately.
But now, there was only Ye Jian and she was a new recruit. Even though Li Jinnian found her, he didn’t swim over immediately. He was worried that Ye Jian would get fl.u.s.tered once she saw him and instinctively rush to the water’s surface.
This was the most dangerous thing to do when diving.
When frogmen swim in deep water, they would breathe in gas that was as pressurized as the water in the environment. If the pressure from the gas suddenly exceeded the pressure from the outside, their blood would bubble and they would suffer from life-threatening decompression sickness.
Ye Jian was about 19 meters deep. If she rushed into the water because of Li Jinnian’s appearance, she might die.
Even the experienced Li Jinnian didn’t dare to be reckless. After Ye Jian swam a certain distance, Li Jinnian swam towards the inflatable boat that Big Shark was on.
The fact that she was able to escape from his hands and find an underwater cover immediately meant that Ye Jian had already explored this part of the sea and memorized its position.
“She’s quick-witted and has a solid foundation. She’s bold but restrained.” The navy commander, who had been sitting in front of the surveillance screen and hadn’t left, commented on Ye Jian’s underwater performance once again. “Also, she was able to escape from Li Jinnian’s hands quickly. Old Yang, hand her over to our team for another two years. I will hand to you an outstanding commando frogman!”
There were a total of seven people in the surveillance room. Everyone was staring at the figures of Ye Jian and Li Jinnian. Even after three hours, no one felt tired and wanted to leave the control room.
Major General Yang came specially to see Ye Jian’s training. He was willing to stay for another three hours if needed.
The major general who had seen multiple exercises and partic.i.p.ated in multiple actual combat exercises heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Jian avoiding the danger.
“We have high hopes for her. We hope that she will be able to join the military unit and carry out missions as soon as she enters the military school.” The major general’s serious voice was low and deep, like a heavy rock. “Our country’s special forces combat ability still needs to be improved. We urgently need someone like Ye Jian.”
