After a month of secluded training nestled in the mountain valleys, the special training team members of Eastern Province each underwent a significant transformation.
Initially, they were slightly tan, a healthy sun-kissed color, but after being buffeted by sea winds, soaked in seawater, and mercilessly sunburned for a month at the coast, they shed several layers of skin and became shiny black, their white teeth strikingly visible when they smiled.
Ling Chengyan already knew how to swim and adapted to the sea in just two or three days. She didn't train with the team but followed her own routine of training and studying, spending more time in the barracks, so her tan wasn't as pronounced.
After morning exercises and breakfast, the team members boarded the ship for training as usual. After a half-hour shooting practice with a silencer-equipped weapon, Ling Chengyan stepped out of the shooting range and saw an old woman and a girl carrying bamboo baskets walking in.
