517: Xiao Niannian demonstrated rock climbing three times in a row.

"You've already done extremely well. How about we work hard together..."

Lu Jing was afraid Niannian's excessive anxiety would cause health problems.

He was very worried about this situation.

"Okay, we'll work hard together."

Seeing Lu Jing's worried gaze, Xiao Niannian nodded vigorously.

"Good."

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian returned to the dormitory, and shortly thereafter, Gu Yuan walked over.

"Little Sister, I'll take you to see where we raise rabbits."

Xiao Niannian followed Gu Yuan toward the breeding area.

Along the way, she saw many single-story houses.

"The Captain and the Political Commissar led us in building these together..."

Xiao Niannian listened to her older brother's words and looked at the houses. Although they were built from stone, she could imagine the hardship involved in constructing so many buildings.

No wonder Grandparents said that one year, after her older brother returned, he was extremely thin and tanned.

"Older Brother, you've worked hard."

Hearing his little sister's words, Gu Yuan smiled and patted her head.

"It wasn't hard."

What did their suffering and exhaustion matter? Many more people worked harder than they did.

Soon, they arrived at the place where the rabbits were kept.

As soon as the door opened, they saw many enclosures inside, neatly tidied, with dozens of rabbits running back and forth on the ground.

"In this season, the ground here is very hard, so even if the rabbits dig holes, they can't escape..."

"The rabbits on this side are pregnant and will give birth in a few days..."

Gu Yuan explained the situation.

Xiao Niannian saw that the rabbits in this enclosure already had very large bellies.

"Next to it is a pigsty for pigs, and over there is where we keep chickens and ducks..."

"However, we don't raise many chickens and ducks here, and we keep few pigs, because there is too little food..."

For raising rabbits, they could still find plenty of grass, but there wasn't enough feed for the other poultry.

"During training these past few days, we'll catch a few more rabbits. There were also a few in the traps today..."

In this kind of weather, being able to catch rabbits was already quite good.

"Okay."

Several days passed. Today, Xiao Niannian and her group were training alongside Gu Yuan and his group.

"Assemble."

Xiao Niannian carried her backpack and headed to the training grounds.

After joining the line, Xiao Niannian looked at the thirty-plus other Team Members.

Today, the leader of the other team was Big Brother Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan spoke loudly, describing today's training situation.

"Today, we are training with the Comrades-in-arms from the sibling unit in Yangcheng..."

"The place we are training is the Snow Mountain opposite us. Today's training content is still rock climbing and zip-lining..."

After the speech, the Team Members of both teams walked toward the Snow Mountain.

Gu Yuan walked toward his little sister.

"Little Sister, I brought some extra food today."

These past few days, Gu Yuan had tried everything to prepare food for his little sister. Before this, he had even found a beehive and brought back the honey.

He prepared a bottle for his little sister to drink mixed with water.

"Here is this canteen for you. It's filled with honey water."

"Thank you, Older Brother."

Gu Yuan looked at his little sister and said.

"Take a sip first. I'll carry it, and I'll hand it back to you when you want another drink later."

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian took the opened canteen from her older brother, took a large gulp, screwed the lid back on, and handed it back.

Lu Jing watched Gu Yuan and Niannian. Seeing how spoiled Gu Yuan made his little sister feel, he curved his lips and led the team forward.

Soon, they arrived at the bottom of the cliff. Lu Jing and Gu Yuan mixed the members of the two teams, each taking half the people.

Xiao Niannian looked at these new Team Members. They were younger than her older brother, and each one was several shades darker than her own Team Members due to the sun.

The ultraviolet rays here were still too strong.

Maybe she should find someone to set up a factory? To produce some sunscreen?

Xiao Niannian stood beside them, watching the new Team Members rock climb.

These Team Members could rock climb, but their technique was not proficient, let alone impressive.

"Today, we must show the Comrades-in-arms from Yangcheng how capable we are."

"That's right."

"They probably rarely train in rock climbing. We will definitely beat them this time."

More than ten minutes later, a dozen new Team Members had climbed to the top of the cliff and then returned to the ground.

Lu Jing pressed the stopwatch, his gaze calmly fixed on these new Team Members.

"Captain Lu, how were our results?"

A bolder Team Member said with a smile.

"Failing grade."

What?

Hearing Lu Jing's words, the smiles vanished from the faces of these dozen Team Members.

Captain Lu actually said their performance was a failing grade?

How could this be? Their results this time were clearly better than before! How could it be a failing grade?

Could it be that the results of those Comrades-in-arms from Yangcheng were better than theirs?

Impossible!

They had climbed this cliff many times. The Team Members from Yangcheng had only been here for a few days; even if they trained every day, they couldn't possibly be faster than them.

"Could it be that your Team Members, Captain Lu, have better results than ours?"

"Seeing is believing, hearing is not. We want to see just how fast your Team Members are, Captain Lu."

Hearing this, Lu Jing looked toward Xiao Niannian.

"Xiao Niannian."

"Here."

"Give us a demonstration."

Hearing Lu Jing's command, Xiao Niannian immediately started climbing upwards.

Seeing Xiao Niannian climb up without any safety rope, the Team Members were all stunned.

"How can she be so fast?"

"Heavens, how is this person so capable?"

"She doesn't seem to pause at all."

"She just free-climbed that steep cliff."

The gazes directed at Xiao Niannian were now full of shock. They couldn't understand how someone as small and slight as Xiao Niannian could climb so quickly.

It wasn't that they hadn't free-climbed before, but none of them were this fast.

Xiao Niannian used a rope to descend to the bottom of the cliff.

"Tie on the safety rope and demonstrate for them again."

"Yes."

Xiao Niannian complied.

Soon, Xiao Niannian climbed up again, and this time, she was even faster than when she hadn't used a safety rope.

After Xiao Niannian came down once more, Lu Jing said again.

"Take your tools and demonstrate one more time."

Xiao Niannian took the tools and began using climbing spikes... This speed, once again, exceeded the expectations of these new Team Members.

"Heavens, how does the Yangcheng Military Unit have such a capable person?"

"Her speed is much faster than ours."

"I never expected someone could be this fast."

"How did she even learn this?"

After Xiao Niannian climbed the cliff, she quickly returned to the ground.

"Clap, clap, clap."

The Team Members clapped vigorously, and the new Team Members cheered loudly.

"Great."

Xiao Niannian walked toward Lu Jing.

"Return to the team."

After Xiao Niannian returned to the team, Lu Jing looked at the new Team Members.

"Now, do any of you have anything to say?"
