Ye Jian didn’t take this threat to heart at all. However, Major Xia’s looks were too outstanding. His features were elegant. His dark eyes contained a faint smile that could make a woman’s heart flutter. He looked at her affectionately. Ye Jian couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. Her lips moved slightly as though she was saying something.
Xia Jinyuan was obviously stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled. His thin lips curved upward in a faint smile. He looked like an elegant young master who was sitting by the window and sipping tea. He accidentally found the most beautiful flower. His smile suddenly bloomed and his natural, noble aura quietly surged.
Even though he was wearing a combat uniform, he could still exude the noble, elegant, and proud aura of a noble young master.
He had really grown up and become much bolder… so bold that he could even tease her.
Ye Jian said, “Such a masculine face is really pleasing to the eye!”
There was still 15 minutes before they arrived at the bordering town. Ye Jian successfully managed to tease Xia Jinyuan so that he didn’t dare to tease her anymore. He didn’t want to make himself suffer.
It was extremely cold in December, and at night, it was almost a dozen degrees below zero. When the helicopter arrived at the military airport, it was exactly five in the morning. The howling north wind was completely different from the forest in Sichuan Province.
The wind here could directly penetrate through all the layers of protection against the cold, and with the fiercest force, it seemed to penetrate into your bones. In an instant, it was so cold that even your bones would become like icicles that could not withstand a single blow. Just a little bit of force was enough to break them.
Ye Jian carried her bag and got off the helicopter. She felt as though her blood seemed to have stopped flowing. Even her heart felt cold.
“Ask them to gather and change their equipment.” Xia Jinyuan had already turned into a wild wolf. He was not affected by the wind at all. In the blink of an eye, he was a few steps ahead of Ye Jian.
Ye Jian adjusted the straps of her backpack and chased after his tall and straight back.
The members of Storm Commando and the Xueyu unit were already getting ready. Half an hour later, everyone was ready to leave for the Gobi Desert for 15 days of training.
The Gobi Desert in the northwest was relatively alright during the day in winter, but at night, the cold was unbearable. If the protection against the cold was not done well, one would not wake up but unknowingly enter an eternal ‘slumber’.
All the team members were checking the cold-proof and heat-proof combat equipment to prevent any problems from dragging them down.
This time, the Gobi desert training was still about actual combat training. The main focus was on the water ghosts of Storm Commando. It could be said that this training was to improve the members of the Frogman Commando Unit. They not only had to fight with their bodies but also expand their combat field so that everyone could win a battle in a more complicated environment.
The desert they entered this time was the second-largest desert in the country. It covered an area of 45,000 square kilometers. The name of the desert meant ‘a place infested by wild boars’.
What was even more amazing was that the desert landscape here was unique. Looking down from the sky, the desert formed a tree branch pattern. It was extremely spectacular.
When Ye Jian followed Xia Jinyuan into the campsite, Li Jinnian was sending the plans, proposals, and risk assessments he made yesterday night back to the military headquarters. The commander-in-chief of the navy saw the two of them first.
“Little Ye, clean up your equipment first. We still have 20 minutes before we gather and leave.” Time was tight. The commander-in-chief of the navy didn’t know about Ye Jian’s physical condition. He just wanted to complete the most important task.
