647: Instructors also need to be trained.

It’s not just the Womens Team; new Team Members from First Team and Third Team undergo the same training. But they chose a location deep in the mountains.

“Depart.”

The three squad leaders led their Team Members away. Xiao Niannian stood there, watching them leave.

She carried a walkie-talkie and a radio. The Instructors would contact her with any situation.

This island wasn't large; one could traverse it in a few hours.

There were also many Wild Animals on the island, including Wild Goats, Wild Rabbits, and Wild Chicken. No one knew when they arrived.

Xiao Niannian decided to catch some crabs in the mangrove forest to eat.

When she arrived at the forest, she saw a crab scuttling by, immediately went forward, and pinned it down.

“Quite big, half a catty for one.”

Xiao Niannian tied it with a rope and tossed it into a woven bag.

After more than ten minutes, Xiao Niannian had caught several.

She chose a spot nearby, lit a fire, and threw the crabs in to boil.

Xiao Niannian looked into the distance; this spot was good for fishing with a bamboo pole.

She had made a fishing rod for herself when she was at the Arms Factory, and it could now come in handy.

The other Instructors couldn't help but laugh at Captain Xiao's appearance.

Captain Xiao looked like she was on vacation.

However, by following Captain Xiao, they always ate exceptionally well.

“Fish on!”

“Fang Qiang, quickly help me get the fish.”

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Fang Qiang immediately agreed.

“Yes.”

Soon, a three to four jin Black Sea Bream was caught.

“Captain Xiao, this fish looks delicious.”

“I’ll catch a few more. Later, after you’ve eaten, each of you will be given a diving mask and a spear. Go down and spear fish. Only by spearing ten fish weighing three to four jin or more will you be considered qualified…”

What?

Fang Qiang and the other Instructors were all surprised.

They weren't just here to be Instructors this time? They also had to be assessed?

Captain Xiao, Captain Lu, you are truly outstanding! As expected of captains, every assessment exceeds their imagination.

After Xiao Niannian caught a few more fish, she had the Instructors put on their diving masks and gear. They had also learned how to use spears a few days ago, and now they all went into the water.

Xiao Niannian had just surveyed this sea area; spearing fish within this ten to twenty-meter range would be no problem.

These people’s diving skills were also decent; diving and spearing fish with this equipment was completely fine.

However, it would depend on their reaction time.

If their reactions were slow, the fish would definitely escape.

It’s a pity she didn't have an underwater camera now, otherwise, she could have them each wear one on their chest. Then she could see their performance in spearing fish and give individual guidance.

“I speared one!”

Xiao Niannian heard the sound and saw an Instructor not far away holding up a two to three jin fish, shouting happily.

Still too young, getting so excited over one fish.

With this ordinary diving equipment, one can only stay underwater for a few minutes at a time. If there are few fish, it might take one or two hours to spear ten fish.

Xiao Niannian reeled in her fishing rod and pulled up her mask slightly.

She couldn't get tanned; these Team Members were three to five shades darker than usual.

Xiao Niannian returned to the pot; the boiled crabs were already cooked.

She took out her crab-eating tools from her bag.

She also added the seasonings she brought.

Freshly caught and freshly boiled, the taste was truly delicious.

“Delicious, tasty.”

Xiao Niannian praised.

“Report on the situation of Third Team.”

After eating a crab, Xiao Niannian took out her walkie-talkie to inquire about the situation.

“Reporting, Captain Xiao, First Team has just entered the mountain, has found a marked point, and taken the supplies…”

The Instructors from the three small teams reported their situations separately.

“Too slow.”

Xiao Niannian said.

The Instructors on the other side didn't answer. But if Captain Xiao said they were slow, they indeed felt the same way.

They had participated in such training before and had tried every possible method.

Xiao Niannian turned off the walkie-talkie and looked at the sea.

“Where are the fish you caught? Hurry up and bring them up; the water is almost boiled dry.”

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Fang Qiang ran up with ten fish.

“Reporting, Captain Xiao, mission accomplished.”

Fang Qiang had a long string of fish tied to his waist, and he was beaming with joy.

“These two are not heavy enough.”

Xiao Niannian directly pointed out that the two small fish on his waist were not heavy enough.

Fang Qiang's eyes widened. Were these two not enough? He thought they were about right.

“Weigh them yourself.”

Xiao Niannian took out a handheld weighing scale from her bag.

This was also developed by them at the Arms Factory. Currently, it was not mass-produced and was only used internally by the military.

Fang Qiang took it and weighed them.

Seeing one weighing two jin and eight liang, and the other two jin and nine liang, his eyes widened.

“Captain Xiao, you are amazing.”

Just by looking, she could tell that the weight of these two fish was insufficient.

“I’ll go catch two more now.”

Fang Qiang put down the fish and immediately jumped into the sea.

Xiao Niannian watched the other Team Members run up, also with ten fish on their waists, and she smiled.

“This one of yours isn't enough either.”

“And yours…”

The Team Members had just seen Fang Qiang weighing the fish and understood that Captain Xiao had sharp eyes. They didn't bother weighing theirs, immediately put down the fish on their waists, and jumped into the sea.

Military Doctor Shen stood not far away, watching these elite Team Members jump into the sea one after another to catch fish that weren't heavy enough. He silently gave Xiao Niannian a thumbs-up.

He truly admired Niannian. These elite Team Members had been in First Team for three to five years, and their physical abilities in many aspects were outstanding.

But Niannian's training methods were different from all their previous ones.

“Military Doctor Shen, what are you still looking at? You go down too.”

Xiao Niannian saw Military Doctor Shen looking over with a smile.

Military Doctor Shen's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Captain Xiao to even send him into the sea. In such cold weather, he wasn't prepared at all.

“Don't want to go down? Or should I kick you down?”

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Military Doctor Shen immediately shook his head.

“I’ll go down.”

He had previously wondered why Niannian made them bring so many spears. He hadn't expected it was to train these elite Team Members.

Xiao Niannian lit several fires. When these Team Members came up later, they would have to quickly dry their clothes and drink some hot water.

She poured all their water into the pot, threw in the old ginger she brought, and added some brown sugar… When Fang Qiang came up with three fish, the other two teammates had already changed into a set of clothes and started drying them.

“Each of you gets a bowl of ginger soup. Drink it, then change into a set of clothes, dry your clothes. Then make dinner…”

Xiao Niannian ordered.

“Yes.”

When Military Doctor Shen came up with ten fish, he was shivering from the cold.

“Military Doctor Shen, quickly come and drink some ginger soup.”

“And this cold medicine soup.”
