“You’re now left with one night training course that you have yet to start. I’ve discussed this with Commander Liu. You will start the night training course tonight. You will be driving a car and be accompanied by your instructor. You will set off from this province and execute the cross-province training.”

Ye Jian was stunned briefly for a few seconds… She couldn’t believe what was happening. “Commissar, I… I don’t even have a driver’s license.” She was worried that she didn’t have a driving license and not her incapabilities.

“Rest assured. We have our own arrangements. Go take a look at the car you’re driving tonight. The instructor is doing maintenance for you.” Commissar Yan admired Ye Jian’s confidence. It was not arrogance. She was down to earth and humble.

As soon as Ye Jian heard that, she had no other worries. She responded with gusto and headed over to the parking lot.

At 11 pm, after the surroundings were cleaned up and all the stations were ready, jeeps emerged and drove out of the underground garage one by one. They drove orderly to the side of the road before turning on the headlights and headed for the mountain.

The cars were all jeeps instead of armored vehicles. From the outside, they were no different from the regular jeeps in the city. Ye Jian was in the middle of the convoy and had embarked on her night training that was going to end on Sunday.

At three in the morning, Commissar Yan’s voice rang from the intercom, asking Ye Jian’s instructor, “How’s your situation?”

“Report, everything is normal.” The instructor, who did not sleep, stayed alert and reported the situation of their car. “Switching over at 4 am, the co-driver will replace her.” The co-driver was the instructor himself.

At this point, they had reached the mountain roads. The stretch of mountain roads looked like they led to the skies. With the headlights shining in front, there were vast mountains at one side, and on the other… a cliff without barriers.

The whole stretch of mountain road was bumpy and Ye Jian’s body was shaking all over. There was not a minute where there was silence…

After completing the 180-degree turn, they continued to scale up the mountain. One moment, there was an inward bend of 180-degrees, and the next moment, there was an outward bend of 180-degrees. She kept driving forward until it was the co-driver’s turn to take over the steering wheel.

Basic driving, utility driving, long-distance driving, and qualification assessment. Ye Jian had already entered the long-distance driving phase out of the four.

At five in the morning, the convoy stopped by the roadside and rested for half an hour in the mountains before they continued to move forward. After six o’clock, the convoy was no longer moving along the mountain roads. They went into the mountains, into another section of the mountain.

“Attention, attention. We will arrive at the simulated battlefield in half an hour. Please prepare for battle!”

Although it was Ye Jian’s first time at night driving, she knew what to expect. From the route of the car, she understood what the assessment was.

There were more than a dozen simulated battlefield sections. The simulations here covered almost all of the common situations that you would suddenly encounter while driving.

The artillery blockade was the first simulation section. In the midst of all the sounds of bombardment, Ye Jian drove the car and dashed across the area. The flashes were just right in front of her eyes and you could feel the firepower even in the car.

She turned the steering wheel with a speed so fast that it left afterimages. After speeding across a distance of a few dozen meters, she arrived at a road filled with potholes. The car was bumpy and was shaking. Like a youth that knows no fear, Ye Jian brought along her fearlessness and trained together with the male soldiers in this unfamiliar training field out in the wilderness.

Ye Jian could not miss any of these sessions of training. Under simulated conditions of practical combat, she would refine her driving skills and also lay the foundations for the day when she officially dons the military uniform.
