chapter-1242
Ye Jian, who was about to disembark, said, “thank you” to the Navy Lieutenant Colonel. The latter had sent her off and then tightened the Naval Equipment Department’s waterproof rucksack to her body. She leaped into the water directly from the stern deck of the light-weighted special warship.
“Have you seen the flashing red laser dots on the reef? Someone is already responding to you, just swim over.” The Lieutenant Colonel, who was telecommunicating to the people at the reef island, squatted while facing the female soldier, whose face was only his palm-sized, and eyes that were brighter than the stars, under the faint light, he smiled and said, “It’s only less than 30 meters. Just swim over.”
Light-weighted special warships were different from air-cushioned landing craft; it could not be docked at reefs without a port; it could only be parked on the surface of the water.
When Ye Jian went down, she was directly hit by a wave and pushed forward. With her rucksack on her back, she waved, without even saying “goodbye”. She swam straight into the sea, swimming towards the faintly visible island.
Compared with the movements of the water ghost in the sea, Ye Jian’s speed was neither fast nor slow.After all, she also trained at the seaside for a month before. It was just that she did not train as systematically as that of those “Water Ghosts”.
The land tigers were the “Elite Platoon” and the sea dragons were the “High Tolerance Amphibious Frogman Commando”. As a reserve member of the Elite Platoon, Ye Jian entered the “sea dragons” area. Xia Jinyuan reminded her that she would have to be more aware of the water in any special welcome ceremony.
Big Whale dived into the sea like a dragon returning to the sea. He used to train with both feet tied to sandbags and swam 5,000-meter cross-country. He swam 5,000-meters twice a week. His feet had extreme water-breaking power. His speed was definitely beyond one’s imagination.
When Ye Jian resurfaced from the water, the light-weighted special warship had left. Their destination was not the reef island; they only stopped here because Ye Jian had to be trained on the reef island by Li Jinnian.
As the light-weighted special warship moved away, Ye Jian, who was completely soaked, adjusted her rucksack and swam towards the shore.
Four years of training allowed Ye Jian to remain calm even when facing the sea full of unpredictable dangers. Listening to the sound of the waves, she paddled her hands, maintained a moderate speed, and used the power of the waves to swim to the shore. She relaxed herself and swam towards shore.
After swimming for about five meters, Ye Jian’s calm gaze suddenly became alert. She noticed a figure about three meters to her left swimming towards her… it was a “water ghost”!Fighting in the water was her weakness; it was indeed a bit troublesome to be targeted, but like what Captain Xia said, this was Li Jinnian’s style!
Big Whale, who had just popped his head out of the water, noticed that Ye Jian was staring straight at him. He was only a little surprised that he was spotted, but he adjusted his driving goggles, narrowed his eyes, and he revealed a deep smile.
She is sharp. I have only emerged from the water, and she has already noticed me. Good, her alertness is applaudable.
However, it was not enough just to be sharp. She must also know how to react underwater, which was several times harder than that on land!
The ancient Roman politician Cicero once pointed out: “Who can control the ocean, can control the world.” From this sentence, one can see the importance of a country’s control over the ocean, and one can understand the role of a frogman commando on the team members, showing them how strict one should be in physical fitness.
Big Whale was a qualified water ghost who had undergone rigorous and systematic training, while Ye Jian, as an army trained by an all-around special force, would seem to be on the losing side from a land army point of view, when compared with Big Whale.
But Ye Jian wouldn’t give up quickly because of this.
She untied the inflatable rucksack as quickly as possible, drew out her fighting dagger, and directly greeted the “water ghost” who had grabbed her ankle.
