Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

The lights were on. Captain Ding led his soldiers to stand in the row among the bushes. Ye Jian shook hands with them individually and smiled as she said, ”Thank you for your hard work. I was a little rough. Sorry about that.”

Her face was covered with a thick layer of camo cream such that even with the light, they weren’t able to see her features. They could only see her bright eyes. It was shimmering like the stars in the sky. There was a cold light deep inside her gaze too.

However, there was only one thought in everyone’s mind. She was so small. The female soldier that won them was so small!

”So small… You must be younger than me,” The youngest soldier in the team muttered to herself.

Ye Jian pretended that she didn’t hear anything. She said to Captain Ding and Captain Xiao politely, ”I’m not sure why you appeared in my training. If I did anything to offend you, please pardon me.”

The military had their own intentions but she didn’t understand why they made this arrangement.

The local forces versus the special forces. It didn’t make sense.

”I feel that you taught us a lesson instead. After we go back, we need to self-reflect. We are the local forces and we are not as strong as the field forces or the special forces but there are 14 of us. We feel… embarrassed that we weren’t able to retaliate at all.” Captain Xiao gave a forced laugh. He didn’t evade the problem because he failed. ”Thank you for your hard work tonight!

You’re the strongest female soldier!”

The heated course of events ended politely. Ye Jian stood on the spot and sent them off with her eyes. She rubbed her stomach after she couldn’t hear their footsteps anymore and went back to the sleeping spot she found. She waited for the sun to rise on her fourth day of training.

After she woke up, Ye Jian spent quite a long time clearing away the signs of the fight. It covered a wide area and some bushes were stepped on so it was impossible to clear the traces completely. Ye Jian spent ten minutes before she moved towards her destination for the fourth day.

All until the seventh day, she didn’t meet another ambush. She was so hungry that her already fair skin was starting to turn pale. She relied on snake meat, insects, rats, tree barks, grass roots, and stone crabs to get her nutrients. Finally, on the seventh day at 3 pm, she appeared within the range of the chemical defense regiment.

During the entire training, she never released a single help signal. She didn’t make a single call and she endured everything with astonishing perseverance.

When she appeared, she even walked quickly to Principal Chen and smiled. ”Uncle Chen, I’m back.”

She didn’t have a proper meal for the entire seven days. She never had any cooked food or drank warm water. She relied on food that normal humans would never eat to survive. As he looked at Ye Jian who became skinner, the old man’s eyes turned red.

Ye Jian had gotten skinnier. She wore a jungle camouflage uniform and her face was so small it could be covered with a palm. The backpack she was carrying looked like a mountain that could crush her at any moment. However, her energy wasn’t the least affected. She still gave off an upright and indomitable spirit.

Standing under the sunlight, she didn’t collapse because of hunger. The indomitable and strong aura of a soldier exuded from her body.

”It’s good that you’re back. Your endurance is powerful and you’re getting stronger. You will have a bright future!” Principal Chen patted Ye Jian’s shoulder. His voice choked a little.

Jian relied on herself to reach this stage today. She took one step at a time and created her path slowly and firmly. Even though she had a good relationship with Major Xia, she never thought of relying on him and always remembered what Principal Chen and Uncle Gen said: Relying on yourself is better than relying on other people.

She gained the recognition of the higher authorities because of her own capability.
