Chapter 3299: How Strong
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The snow in the mountains was thicker than the snow in the base. When Ye Jian stepped on it, it was like stepping on a cotton ball. Her feet sank. If she wanted to pull her foot out, she had to hold on to the surrounding trees.
Although it was said that they were carrying weights, they were actually carrying luggage. They would leave in the afternoon and return tomorrow night. They had to spend one night outside. They needed to sleep in the wilderness. They needed to be well-protected against the cold and heat. If not, their bodies wouldn’t be able to take it if they woke up from the cold in the middle of the night.
Although the 80 kilometers of armed cross-country was caused by the loss of No. 1 to Ye Jian, no one blamed No. 1 for losing. Everyone knew that with Azure Bird’s strength, even if the veterans competed with her, they would still lose.
How strong was the female soldier, Azure Bird?
The walking male soldiers raised their heads and looked at the slender figure at the front. She had been in that position for hours since they set off from the base. She carried her backpack and walked at the front. They didn’t hear her say that she was tired. She walked straight with ease while holding the map.
Before setting off, the captain said that Azure Bird would be in charge of this armed cross-country. He asked the male soldiers if they had any objections and no one did.
Since the captain chose her, it meant that she had the ability.
In a military unit that relied on strength, strength represented everything.
“We’re still 11 kilometers away from our campsite. We’ll rest after completing the 11 kilometers.” In front, Ye Jian walked to a high place and held the map. She said to the male soldiers at the foot of the mountain in a clear and melodious voice, “How long do we need to complete 11 kilometers? One and a half hours?”
The male soldiers at the foot of the mountain didn’t see where she was. When they heard the melodious female voice that was different from the male soldiers, they immediately replied, “No problem!”
There was another answer that was different from the others. “How about we finish in an hour?”
As soon as he finished speaking, countless curses could be heard.
It was not a problem to run five kilometers in 16 to 17 minutes. Running ten kilometers in 34 to 35 minutes with light weights was not a problem either. However, they were in the mountains now. The snow reached their knees when they stepped on it. They had to exert some effort to pull their foot out before they could take the next step. Moreover, they were carrying 20 kilograms!
Walk 11 kilometers in an hour? Did this kid know how to calculate?
Ye Jian had good hearing. The male soldier’s voice was loud and clear in the silent valley. Hearing that, she smiled and said, “The veterans can do it easily in an hour. We still need to practice.”
“What about you, Azure Bird? Can you do it?”
“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?” They asked a question, so Ye Jian posed a question of her own.
“Of course, we want to hear the truth. We don’t like to hear lies.’
“I can do it. My shortest time for a 10-kilometer snow-bearing cross-country run is 43 minutes.” Ye Jian answered them truthfully. She had even done a winter armed cross-country run that covered hundreds of miles in a day.
The male soldiers were so shocked by her record that they gasped. It would take them half an hour to walk ten kilometers with a light load, but she could do it in 43 minutes in the snow while carrying a heavier load!
“It’s the truth. It’s not fake. It’s said that the veterans in our team need 45 minutes. That’s why it’s normal to complete 11 kilometers in an hour. Why don’t we take the challenge?” Ye Jian suggested. “We’re supposed to return from the 80 kilometers of weight-bearing cross-country tomorrow. It’s more than enough time. We can complete it in advance.”
Ye Jian actually had some questions in her heart. Why did they give so much time? They could have cut it short..
