737: Training in the rain.
Lu Jing looked at his wife, and seeing the smile on her face, he also smiled.
Xiao Niannian actually knew how to operate these boats long ago, but these were new boats, having only recently arrived, and officially, she was not supposed to know how.
So she stood there listening as Lu Jing taught the Team Members.
“Now, I will explain...”
Lu Jing introduced the buttons and functions in front of them.
Soon, the boat was started.
After teaching for half an hour, Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian.
“Captain Xiao, follow what I just said and do it once.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Niannian immediately stepped forward and started the boat exactly as Lu Jing had instructed.
“Wow, Captain Xiao is truly amazing.”
“She learned it after just one listen.”
Fang Qiang and Xiao Cui praised Xiao Niannian.
They had long witnessed Captain Xiao's abilities; whether it was flying a plane or mastering other subjects, Captain Xiao could learn it after just one listen.
She is truly outstanding!
This is a genius! A tremendous genius!
They had understood what they heard, but when it came to operation, they definitely wouldn't be as proficient as Captain Xiao.
Xiao Niannian steered the boat back to its original position.
“Good.”
Lu Jing raised his hand to applaud, and the other Team Members also clapped enthusiastically.
“Clap, clap, clap.”
“Excellent.”
The Team Members looked at Xiao Niannian with admiration.
“As expected of Captain Xiao.”
“She is truly outstanding.”
“I think if Captain Xiao practiced a few more times, she could even be our Instructor.”
“That's fantastic.”
Hearing their words, Lu Jing felt very happy and proud.
Although he couldn't tell the Team Members, he was happy inside! This was his wife! The wife he filed a marriage report for and received a marriage certificate with!
Legally bound!
Lu Jing smiled very happily.
Xiao Niannian nodded toward them, then looked at Lu Jing, signaling him to continue teaching the rest of the Team Members.
“Fang Qiang, follow what I just said and do it once.”
“Yes.”
Fang Qiang immediately followed the instructions, but although he had memorized them, his movements were still clumsy.
Next, one Team Member after another followed suit.
Some only remembered a small part.
After teaching for more than two hours, the Team Members got off the boat.
Xiao Niannian returned to the beach and looked into the distance.
“It's going to rain again.”
Xiao Niannian said.
Hearing this, Lu Jing looked into the distance.
Indeed, there were dark clouds in the distance drifting toward them, and the wind was gradually picking up.
“Let's go, head back.”
Lu Jing gave the order.
He walked toward the Sentry Post not far away.
This was a two-story building constructed on high ground, so it wouldn't be affected by high tide.
Just as Xiao Niannian and the others returned to the training base, heavy rain began to fall.
Xiao Niannian stood at the entrance, watching the Team Members running toward them from nearby.
Xiao Niannian put on a raincoat, looked at Lu Jing, and said.
“The Military Factory just produced new raincoats for us to test. If there's no thunder today, then let them train on the front training ground...”
Hearing his wife's words, Lu Jing immediately agreed.
Lu Jing immediately grabbed the loudspeaker and shouted.
“All Team Members of the First, Second, and Third Teams, line up to collect raincoats at the Logistics Warehouse! Rongcheng Special Forces Brigade Team Members, also line up at the warehouse to collect raincoats!”
Feng Jun was just congratulating himself that it was raining today and they wouldn't have to train.
Hearing this, he widened his eyes.
Wait, Old Lu, are you sick? In this heavy rain, you're sending people to the Logistics Warehouse to get raincoats? Don't tell me you still plan to train?
Although puzzled, he still followed them to run and collect a raincoat.
They ran toward the Logistics Warehouse. Although they were under the eaves along the way, the rain was so heavy that their clothes still got somewhat wet.
“After you collect your raincoats, put them on. Once the rain lessens, training will continue...”
Hearing the voice coming from the loudspeaker, Feng Jun cursed under his breath.
“Lunatics.”
Training in such heavy rain? Aren't they afraid of getting sick?
Feng Jun had no idea that this level of training was nothing; the Team Members of the Special Forces Brigade had trained countless times in the rain before.
“We're getting raincoats today.”
“That's great.”
“I heard these raincoats are newly delivered. We can wear them in the rain and won't get soaked.”
“It's wonderful to have a raincoat to wear.”
When Feng Jun and the Rongcheng Special Forces Members heard their conversation, they found it unbelievable. Had the Yangcheng Special Forces Members been abused too much normally, that they were so happy just to get a raincoat?
Xiao Niannian observed for a while, and seeing that the situation allowed it, she sent the Team Members to the training ground.
The rain had lessened now. Although wearing raincoats made training less convenient, they could still persevere.
Xiao Niannian, Lu Jing, and the Instructors led the Team Members in training.
More than two hours later, the rain stopped, and the Team Members were exhausted.
Xiao Niannian looked at the Team Members, grabbed the loudspeaker, and shouted.
“Was the rain heavy today?”
Feng Jun and the others looked confused.
Can't you see whether the rain was heavy or not?
He felt soaked. Although he wore a raincoat and didn't get much rain on him, he felt uncomfortable. Moreover, wearing the non-breathable raincoat made him sweat, leaving him sticky and very unpleasant.
It wasn't that they hadn't trained in the rain before, but training for so long in such heavy rain, and now Xiao Niannian was still rambling—was she trying to torment them?
“I was very dissatisfied with your swimming performance in the last competition. Today, everyone is swimming another hundred meters...”
Is she crazy?
They are this exhausted, and she wants them to swim a hundred meters?
Won't they end up gulping down water while swimming?
Feng Jun and several of his subordinates stared at Xiao Niannian in shock.
“Objective... Swimming Pool... Double time forward...”
Before Feng Jun and the others could question or object, they were swept along by the formation and ran toward the Swimming Pool.
Looking at this Swimming Pool, Feng Jun thought of the one at their Special Forces Brigade—that was basically a pond. Oh, it was much bigger than a pond, more like a small lake. They had cleared the sludge, and the deepest part of the lake was two meters, capable of accommodating hundreds of people swimming at once.
However, they had also tied many buoys on the lake surface, so it could barely count as a swimming pool.
But this Swimming Pool was much better than any they had ever seen.
The Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade must be incredibly rich!
“Now, warm up and stretch...”
A few minutes later, Lu Jing gave the order for all Team Members to begin training.
“What are you spacing out for? Get down there.”
Feng Jun heard a Team Member being kicked into the water by an Instructor not far away.
He used to do the same thing, but now that they were the ones being trained, he felt a bit unhappy.
Xiao Niannian, Lu Jing, and several Instructors watched the Team Members training in the Swimming Pool.
The weather was indeed a bit cold, but the Team Members could handle it.
A lot of hot water had been added to the pool, keeping the temperature above twenty degrees Celsius, and it was disinfected daily.
After entering the Swimming Pool, Feng Jun realized it wasn't very cold, which surprised him. However, since it was training time, he didn't dwell on it.
