Chapter 343: Control

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She moved her body like a snake. After a while, a human hole was formed. She moved her arms and pushed herself into the sand. As the sand covered her, she got hidden under it. Her gun, which was protected by the sand shield, was also hidden by the sand.
No foreign particles must enter the gun, not even a small grain of sand. Protecting the gun was equivalent to protecting her life.
Very soon, the group of 12 people walked past Ye Jian. Her sand protective glasses were covered with the sand that flew up when the explorers walked passed her.
She could even smell the camels. It was a little... horrible. It smelled like urine.
“We’ll reach Khotan River after passing two more sandhills. Let’s hurry up!”
“Oh my god, I see trees! Look! It’s the Huyang tree that has gold leaves.”
This was a bunch of foreign travelers. They got permission to enter China as tourists.
Ye Jian held her breath and didn’t move. She waited until their footsteps faded before moving her body out of the sand slowly.
There were the only travelers Ye Jian saw for the past ten days. The presence of the explorers broke the silence of the desert. It broke the coldness and peace of the desert and pulled her back into the world of humans.
If it wasn’t for her special situation, she might rush towards them and give them an enthusiastic hug to welcome them.
The happiness only affected her for a short moment. Very soon, her mind was focused on hiding and moving forward. She continued these two actions for a period of time. She knew how to control her emotions during such boring times. She was able to remain calm as she moved over the sand so that she wouldn’t be within the sniping range.
Learning to seek during boring times and learning to be at peace during noisy moments. You need to rise above your emotions so that you could get used to your environment. This was something Ye Jian learned during her time in the desert.
The wind blew away the footsteps of the travelers. Ye Jian, who was lying in the sand just now, had disappeared too.
“Huh? Did the little girl escape?” After some time, Principal Chen appeared. He stood at the position where Ye Jian was supposed to be at and smiled. “Did she run away or did she...”
A hard object was felt on his back. Ye Jian smiled. “I didn’t run away. I just changed my position. Uncle Chen, you lost this time.”
This sniper training lasted for 46 hours. Ye Jian and Principal Chen were covered with yellow sand. If they used their hands to wipe their faces, they could wipe off a whole block of sand.
Their lips were very dry because they didn’t drink any water for the past 46 hours. They survived on cactus juice. Their lips were cracked and there were bloodstains. There was white scab around their lips too.
This was the stain from the cactus juice.
“Not bad. You took 46 hours. That’s five hours faster than the last time. You have improved.” Grandpa Gen passed his military bottle to Ye Jian and took her sniper rifle. “I’ll do some maintenance for the gun. You two can take a rest.”
This 70-year-old man decided to accompany Ye Jian and Principal Chen for their tough training without any hesitation.
The Khotan River was just beside them. Ye Jian lowered her hands and scooped some water to clean the sand on her face. Her sunburned face was revealed. She told Principal Chen, “Uncle Chen, you can rest for the stamina test tomorrow. I can do it myself.”
No matter where she was, Ye Jian would always carry out the stamina test. Climbing, obstacle course, fully armed march, 2000m run within a certain time, etc. She must pass all these tests.
