2900 Straight Back At this moment, Ye Jian was like those veterans. She accepted Xia Jinyuan’s harsh criticism humbly and knew how low-level and stupid her mistake was. “No!” Ye Jian replied with a straight back. “Was I wrong to criticize you?” he asked again. Ye Jian replied, “No!” “Then do you know your mistake?” “I do!” “Very good. You’ve told me that you know your mistake. I’ll keep an eye on you. If you hadn’t noticed the problem at the first moment, I would’ve applied to my superiors to delay your enlistment date even if you’ve become a reserve member!” Ye Jian’s pupils constricted when she heard that. Before she could catch her breath, the man standing in front of her suddenly took two steps closer to her. He was only half a step away from her. Then, he slowly leaned over and lowered his head. He whispered something in her ear… He leaned close to her ear. Xia Jinyuan’s low voice was as soft as a mosquito’s cry, but it was thunderous. Ye Jian instantly straightened her body and froze. In less than three seconds, Xia Jinyuan stood up straight and said calmly, “Return to the team.” He was calm and composed, as if he wasn’t just full of hostility a moment ago. “Yes!” Ye Jian’s heart trembled. She took a deep breath and nodded. Then, she turned around and returned to the team. She was from the second team, so she naturally went back to the second team. Li Jinnian knew that she was just scolded badly. He was the captain of the Storm Commando team. As the captain, he knew best what a low-level mistake his cousin had made. If it were him, he would have criticized her too. “Adjust your mood. This is the second round of assessment.” Li Jinnian didn’t comfort her at all. Did she need to be comforted when she made a mistake and was scolded for it? No! If she made a mistake and was scolded, she needed to reflect on herself! Captain Xia Jinyuan’s cold and calm voice came from the earpieces. “Follow the original plan and continue the cross-country breakout. Keep an eye on your equipment. Don’t let anything happen to your equipment. The second team will gather for five minutes and complete the rest of the plan before taking action.” Needless to say, the person who took the participant’s backpack must have been an imaginary enemy. The members of the second team quickly gathered. Ye Jian laid out the route map for this trip. Xia Jinyuan picked up a tree branch and gestured with it. They turned off all their communication devices. They communicated about their ordinary plans and special plans… They made secret gestures to avoid being overheard. The area covered by this forest was too big. Estonia didn’t have full control of it. The referee and military officers would only appear at points where scores or penalties would be given. At this moment, it didn’t matter if Xia Jinyuan and the rest spoke loudly. No one could hear them. However, the Xueyu unit was a special combat unit that liked to play in the dark. They were careful, and it had become their instinct. As long as there were comrades outside who didn’t belong to them, they had to be wary.
