507: The training environment was harsh.
This time, are they going to Rong Chengdu or Nikko Chengdu?
Xiao Niannian guessed it should be Nikko Chengdu.
The scenery in the Tibetan Area varies, and if they are going to the Snow Mountain, it must be quite extraordinary.
Xiao Niannian fell asleep groggily, her head resting on Lu Jing's shoulder.
Not far away, Military Doctor Shen watched with a smile in his eyes, while Fang Qiang and He Yong quietly looked on, though they dared not show anything on their faces.
After a glance, they lowered their heads again.
Lu Jing's gaze swept over their faces. He turned his head and looked at the sleeping Niannian, a smile appearing on his face.
When Xiao Niannian woke up, the plane was already close to its destination.
She quickly sat upright, raised her head, and met Lu Jing's gaze. Seeing the tenderness in his eyes, Xiao Niannian winked at him.
“Your shoulder doesn't hurt, does it?”
Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing shook his head.
Soon, the plane landed at the airport.
Although Xiao Niannian was dressed warmly, she still shivered slightly when she stepped out of the cabin.
Although it was already March, it was still very cold in the Tibetan Area. The wind here was fierce. At a glance, there was still snow in many places, a scene of desolation. Not far away were some low buildings, and in the distance were several Snow Mountains, with very few green plants.
For the next month, they would be training here.
In her previous life, Xiao Niannian had also come to the Tibetan Area for training many times, but the conditions back then were countless times better than they were now.
Her gaze turned toward the Snow Mountain not far away. There must be plenty of game on those mountains; if they wanted to improve their meals, they should go hunting on the Snow Mountain.
“Assemble.”
When the whistle sounded, Xiao Niannian lined up with the Team Members.
After roll call, Lu Jing began his lecture.
“Starting today, you will train here...”
Xiao Niannian looked at the stern-faced Lu Jing. When he was training, his expression was extremely serious, very different from his usual demeanor.
“Can you do it?”
“Yes.”
The Team Members shouted loudly.
“Now, follow them and run forward to the dormitories to rest. When you hear the assembly whistle, gather at the training ground again.”
“Yes, sir.”
Lu Jing's gaze turned toward Xiao Niannian.
“Xiao Niannian.”
“Present.”
“You stay behind.”
“Yes, sir.”
Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian immediately agreed.
Watching the Team Members run quickly ahead, Xiao Niannian was about to look away when she saw the figure of her Eldest Brother, Gu Yuan, running toward them not far away.
A smile appeared on Xiao Niannian's face.
It seemed this was her Eldest Brother's new camp, and the conditions were indeed quite harsh.
“Sister.”
Gu Yuan ran over quickly, shouting from a distance.
Xiao Niannian looked at her Eldest Brother and noticed that after a few months, he seemed several shades darker.
The ultraviolet rays on the plateau were also very strong. It seemed that even though her Eldest Brother applied sunscreen and wore a mask, he still got tanned.
Seeing his sister's gaze, Gu Yuan said with a smile.
“We wore new masks, but the UV rays here are too strong, so your Eldest Brother still got tanned.”
There were very few trees here, unlike places such as Yang City Name and Xiang City Name, which had many trees where one could sometimes hide in the shade.
“Eldest Brother looks handsome like this too.”
Hearing his sister's praise, Gu Yuan became even happier.
“Sister, how did your matter turn out?”
Gu Yuan asked his sister once only the three of them were standing there.
“The higher-ups have agreed. After the training here is over, Brother Lu and I will go together to select the Team Members.”
“At that time, will they train for three months to become ordinary Team Members? And train for one year to become official Team Members?”
Hearing her Eldest Brother's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.
“That's right. They must train for at least a year to reach the strength of an ordinary Special Forces Soldier. If they don't, they will have to return to their original unit...”
Everything must follow the rules. If there are excellent prospects, they will receive special private training. If they still fail to meet the requirements after special training, it means they are not suitable for the Special Forces Brigade.
She liked smart people, but not those who acted on their own initiative.
People who disobeyed orders might end up killing their Comrades-in-arms during a mission.
On the way to take his sister to the dormitory, Gu Yuan smiled and asked many questions.
Although Gu Yuan knew that Lu Jing would tell his sister these things and help her, Lu Jing was Lu Jing, and he was Niannian's biological Eldest Brother. Naturally, he hoped to help his sister with any issues.
Lu Jing walked side-by-side with Niannian, listening to the conversation between Gu Yuan and Niannian. He did not participate but listened quietly.
“We're here. Old Lu, this room is for you and Old Shen. The one next door is for my sister.”
Gu Yuan looked at his sister, and the smile on his face widened slightly.
“Sister, I specifically cleaned up this room. The conditions here are poor, I apologize for the hardship.”
“Eldest Brother, I'm not bothered. I can live under any conditions.”
Xiao Niannian replied.
“My sister is truly wonderful.”
Gu Yuan praised her.
Hearing her brother's words, Xiao Niannian laughed.
All her brothers, whether the two biological ones or the two from the Xiao Family, were incredibly good to her.
Pushing open the door, Xiao Niannian knew the conditions were poor, but looking inside, it was bare. The floor was dirt, and aside from the walls being plastered with cement, there was only a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe not far away. Surprisingly, there was also a newly built toilet inside.
“This came from my room. I had people build a new closet and desk, and they will be moved over in a few days.”
The weather had been cold recently, so he had people paint the cabinets and tables, but the paint was slow to dry, causing a delay. Gu Yuan felt bad for his sister and didn't want her to have to walk a hundred or two hundred meters to the latrine with the big men, so he had people build a new toilet over the past few days.
Hearing her Eldest Brother's words, Xiao Niannian said with a smile.
“This is already wonderful. Thank you, Eldest Brother.”
She saw that the bedding and everything else were new, and the room was spotlessly clean. She knew her Eldest Brother had arranged for the new toilet to be built.
Lu Jing placed Niannian's backpack on the desk.
“You two can go out. I'll unpack myself.”
Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing headed toward the door, and Gu Yuan also quickly walked out.
Xiao Niannian closed the door and lay directly on the bed.
Hmm, the quilt and everything else had been washed with soap and smelled fresh. It must have been tumble-dried.
It wasn't that damp feeling.
Xiao Niannian put some of her belongings on the desk and in the wardrobe.
Since they might be called to assemble for outdoor training at any time in the next few days, Xiao Niannian still did not take out her most important items.
After a while, she opened the door. The wind outside was howling.
“Sister, the wind is strong here. Make sure you wear more clothes when you go out. Also, bears and other wild beasts might come out of the mountains, so be extra careful.”
