Due to that inexperienced soldier being excessively rowdy, Ella Pemberton felt rather helpless and sent him aside to rest.
"Captain Pemberton," the driver approached, his face showing concern, "why don’t you go rest for a while?"
Ella Pemberton shook her head and smiled, "No need, I can still hold on."
"Alright, then take care of yourself."
"Okay, thanks," Ella Pemberton responded warmly.
The driver waved his hand, "No need to thank me, you are working so hard, you shouldn’t be doing these things."
Ella Pemberton smiled and said no more.
Soon, she took her place in the passenger seat, and on the bumpy ride, she grabbed the hose in her hands and used her meanest move on the three who were still struggling to crawl forward.
The water burst forth, under the sunlight, shimmering droplet by droplet.
The powerful jet shot directly towards the three of them.
In the mud prone training, the three were not far apart in speed, at most a meter or two’s difference, which made it convenient for Ella Pemberton to follow their movements.
To ensure the water droplets hit each person.
Nancy Phillips was the first, directly in the line of fire—
When the jet came, she was unprepared and instantly knocked off balance, tumbling hard into the mud pit.
She rolled in such a sorry state.

Seeing this, Jessie Grain was momentarily stunned, and then the jet of water came straight at her; she instinctively lowered her center of gravity, but still staggered unexpectedly when the fierce jet hit.
Only Flossie Wright.
She was the first to snap back to reality, quickly adjusting her center of gravity, and even though she was soaked from head to toe, she remained unshakably still.
"Hey, that last one, not bad," the driver said, occasionally glancing towards the mud area from the vehicle, speaking with admiration.
"Mhm," Ella Pemberton continued firing the water and smiled, "She’s behind in physical strength, but smart enough."
"Being smart is good," the driver nodded, "In your line of work, how can you get by without being smart?"
"That’s true."
Ella Pemberton pursed her lips slightly and agreed.
To run a kilometer, they only needed five minutes, crawling a kilometer on the mud, they needed fifteen minutes, and under the impact of the water jet, their speed slowed down again by half.
The three, stumbling and fumbling, finished the course by nearly eight o’clock.
All collapsed on the ground.
Ella Pemberton dawdled for a while, giving them a few minutes to rest before walking over to them.
As she approached, she saw the three lying motionless on the grassland.
They laid haphazardly, without any order or decorum.
Soaked to the bone, their clothing stained with a lot of mud, dark and mucky, like mud dolls that had been rolled around.
Ella Pemberton was already accustomed to such sights, but knowing today’s jet of water gave them a hard time, her expression softened, and she inquired with her eyes downcast, "How do you feel, can you still endure it?"
"Yes!" Nancy Phillips was resolute.
"I can!" Jessie Grain squeezed the words out, one by one.
Flossie Wright did not utter a sound.
She looked up at the sky, the rising sun, the blue sky and white clouds, and the wildly growing grass blades on the grassland.
The aura of nature was coming head-on, leisurely and quiet, as if existing in another space, completely at odds with the ordeal just experienced.
Only the soreness transmitting from her limbs constantly reminded her that everything she had just endured was real.
She hadn’t felt this way in a long time.
In the previous selection training, she had gone through similar episodes a few times, but she always found shortcuts and quickly adapted.
