He spoke in a low voice. One could only vaguely make out the words' satellite ',' contact ', and other sensitive military secrets.
There was no doubt that the message he brought was very exciting news for the Xue Yu Special Forces members who had been here for four months. This way, they would be able to contact the military at any time in the future.
"Next spring, the engineers will come over and finish building the equipment. We should be able to leave the mountain around July." Although Han Zheng didn't participate in the previous missions, he still knew what the Snowfield Brigade was doing.
This was definitely good news for the sentinel company stationed at high altitudes.
G3 put away the map and patted Han Zheng's shoulder. "Go to the sentinel company tomorrow and tell them the good news. They will arrange the reception for the engineers. We will be responsible for keeping watch in the dark."
"We leave at six tomorrow morning. Go to bed early after eating and save your energy. Z7, there are still a few oxygen tanks. If you feel uncomfortable, call for help. We will take turns keeping watch and will wake you up in the middle.
Han Zheng had been at the military station for almost two months when the snow had sealed off the mountain. But now, they were at an altitude of more than five thousand meters. G3 was worried that he would really fall asleep if he closed his eyes because of altitude sickness, so he told him that he would wake him up in the middle of the night.
This wasn't an exaggeration. It was a real thing.
Dinner was hard bread prepared by Han Zheng, a ham sausage, and a packet of pickled vegetables for each person. As for fresh vegetables, fragrant rice, hot noodles … don't even think about it here.
At least the five of them still had food to eat. As for the three brothers who had lost contact with them, they didn't know where they were hiding in the snow. However, they weren't too worried. This kind of thing happened often. Losing contact for one day was still a short period of time. Later on, they lost contact for three days at most.
It was under such difficult conditions that, in the spring of the next year, a confidential report from the Snowy Highlands, translated by Han Zheng alone, was sent back to the military headquarters. At the same time, a military layout map was also sent back to the military headquarters.
This was the information that the eight members of the Snowfield Brigade had exchanged for with their lives. They walked in the snowy mountains, accompanied by snow leopards. There wasn't even a small path. They climbed the steep mountains and the bottomless cliffs. They relied on their hands and legs to complete the mission given to them.
By the time the news came back, spring was approaching in the North, and the cherry blossoms in the South had already withered.
The days passed very quickly. It seemed that he still hadn't woken up from his spring sleepiness. He didn't know when the chirping of cicadas had started.
After the general examination, Ye Chien did not stay at home like the other students to wait for the notice to arrive. Instead, he immediately returned to the village after the examination and joined the army for training the next day.
Principal Chen and Uncle Gen didn't ask about Ye Chien's results, nor did they ask her if she did well in the exams. When she said that she would go to the army immediately, the two elders took her to the army without hesitation.
Results and scores … had never been the focus of his attention.
One and a half years into the four-year plan, and Ye Chien's training was getting more and more arduous. Ye Chien was standing alone under the scorching sun with camouflaged branches and leaves covering his head. He had a Barrett M82A1 anti-materiel sniper rifle propped up. He had already been training for a full six hours!
Long-range sniping missions often required the sniper to run long distances without eating, drinking, or sleeping. Good hearing and vision were the basics, and at the same time, they also needed to have extremely high endurance.
