Chapter 2024: Heavy Atmosphere
He tidied his clothes and gestured three fingers at Ye Jian. “They forced me to put on three kilograms of weight. Everyone else had 20 dumplings, and I’m the only one who ate 30 dumplings. I had no choice. My weight is not up to standard. J5 has his eyes on me.”
The special forces soldiers of the Xueyu unit had to meet strict requirements. While going through the physical training, tactical training, as well as weapons and explosives training, one would not be able to stray from their ideal weight. One would only lose weight if one were eating less. There were no conditions that required one to gain weight.
Of course, one couldn’t be fat either. The consequences of being fat were worse than being thin!
To be able to gain weight during such harsh training, he must be slacking off. He should put in extra effort to make up for it.
It was the first time Ye Jian heard such a rule after she got into the car. She was obviously surprised. She sized up Weaver who was driving the car and turned around to look at the people sitting behind her. After sizing them up, she suddenly realized something. “No wonder I said that your height and weight are similar. It turns out that there’s such a rule.”
“Do you know where this rule came from?” Pigeon leaned over slightly and explained the rules of the Xueyu unit to Ye Jian. “When the Xueyu unit was first established, a six-member standard combat team carried out a mission. Before a scout died, he told his captain that if they couldn’t bring his body back to our country, he requested them to bring his military uniform back.”
The rules that made her want to laugh at first suddenly turned the atmosphere heavy. Ye Jian restrained the smile on her face and listened quietly to a story that made people feel a sense of respect for it.
“At that time, it was impossible to bring the corpses of our comrades back to the country. Therefore, our senior took off the comrade’s military uniform with tears in his eyes and put it on himself. The scout saw his captain put on his military uniform and said, “I’m too skinny. It looks too small on you.” Then, he closed his eyes for the last time.
“After the mission was completed, the captain who came back wearing his comrade’s uniform suggested to the military that the special forces soldiers who joined the Xueyu unit must be of the same height. Only then can they ensure that their weight can be standardized. The members’ weight can’t exceed four kilograms from the standard.
“If it exceeds, we may not be able to come back in our comrades’ military uniforms.”
It turned out that behind the unwritten rules, there was actually such a tragic story that made people shed silent tears.
As a special force, the Xueyu unit had to carry out many secret missions.
Just like Ye Jian’s mission this time, it was a mission that couldn’t be made known to the public and could only be carried out secretly.
If someone really died, they could only bring back their comrades’ military uniforms.
There were still many tragic stories about the Xueyu unit that no one knew about. Pigeon only mentioned one of them, and Ye Jian was already shocked.
“This mission is also a secret mission. We’re only given a week to rescue the engineering team. If we don’t succeed in rescuing them within a week, or if the other party discovers that the engineering team wasn’t sent by a corporation, we won’t have to rescue them anymore even if we’ve already reached our destination...”
Pigeon finished speaking softly and asked Ye Jian, “Azure Bird, do you know why we don’t need to save them anymore?”
“Because... they’ll handle it themselves,” Ye Jian clenched her fist and said softly. Her heart was palpitating. They were soldiers who would sacrifice themselves for their country at any time.
An extremely sharp light burst out from her dark eyes as she looked at Pigeon and said, “Even though we have a week’s time, we can still try to get it done a day earlier!”
