Chapter 279: Going Crazy
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What the heck, he… Isn’t he tired?”
“That’s the private from Iron Bones Hero Regiment, right? He is crazy!”
On the track of the training ground, there were more than a hundred people running on the track.
The three regiments had different numbers of instructors.
The Iron Bones Hero Regiment had thirty-two people, but the Second Team had forty-one.
The third team was a bit smaller than the second team, there were thirty-six of them.
However, no matter how many of them there were, they were still divided into a group.
Moreover, the competition had nothing to do with the number of people.
Five kilometers.
After the lunch break, everyone was brought to the training ground.
Under the supervision of Xiao Lian, the three platoon leaders, and the instructors of the other teaching teams, the entire squadron started running.
Yes, this assessment wasn’t a separate assessment for each platoon or team.
The entire squadron.
According to what Xiao Lian said, he had to pinch for twenty-three minutes.
If they couldn’t run five kilometers in under 23 minutes, they could just pack their own backpack later. There was no need to take the rest of the test.
As a veteran of an infantry company, it would be a disgrace if they couldn’t even run five kilometers in 23 minutes. The door of the teaching team refused to open for them.
Xiao Lian even said that if such a person were to appear, he would have to find a phone booth outside to call their company.
He wouldn’t even send him off.
They were not worthy of being on the teaching staff after serving in the military for one or two years if they couldn’t even run five kilometers.
Of course, no one had any objections to this, and no one felt that it was difficult.
Twenty-three minutes, it was not a big deal. Their company would definitely not recommend them to the teaching team if they would not even do this.
However, it was no longer a matter of running for twenty-three minutes.
On the track, the slowest lap on the standard four-hundred-meter track was already the sixth lap.
And now, something that made people despair had appeared.
That meant that someone had already caught up from behind.
The kind that was about to overtake an entire lap.
One had to know that this was not a recruiting company.
This is the teaching team. It’s fine if there were people faster than the others, but the fact that someone who was in front is now catching up from the back and they were only in their sixth lap.
Gritting their teeth, the few recruits who were running together behind began to accelerate.
This kind of embarrassing thing must not happen.
Even though they knew that it was only the sixth lap and there was still more than half of the five kilometers left, they had to conserve their energy and run at a constant speed.
But that was only possible if everyone ran properly.
Looking back now, there were only twenty to thirty meters left.
If he was really about to be ahead for one lap, how could he bear it later?
Wang Ye looked at the few guys who were accelerating in front of him, or rather, it was not just them. Their acceleration was also driving the ones in front of them.
His breathing was a little heavy, but Wang Ye, who opened his mouth to breathe, revealed a smile.
Do these guys still want to struggle?
Was it useful?
After adjusting his breathing, Wang Ye sped up his footsteps again when a recruit happened to turn around in front of him. Under the terrified eyes of the recruit, Wang Ye quickened his pace again.
“What the!”
In front of them, the soldier of the 3rd platoon team who was running immediately cursed out in grief and indignation.
His reaction also made a few others running around him turn around.
At this moment, they felt a chill in their hearts.
“It’s five kilometers. If you run this fast, will you be able to run the whole thing?” Someone took a deep breath. After holding his breath, he turned around and shouted at Wang Ye in one breath.
This was too much. They felt that Wang Ye had done it on purpose.
They knew that Wang Ye’s results were good and his stamina was good.
But even if you have good stamina, you can’t squander it like this, right?
They were on the sixth lap, while Wang Ye was already on the seventh lap.
In other words, Wang Ye had almost finished running 3,000 meters.
More importantly, it had only been about ten minutes or even less than that.
It was equivalent to saying that Wang Ye was treating 5,000 meters as 3,000 meters.
This was a very helpless thing for the other people running.
What was even more despairing was that they couldn’t even run three thousand meters that fast.
However, now was not the time to consider this matter.
What he was talking about now was the 5000-meter run, which was 2,000 meters more than the 3,000-meter run.
If you run like this, there will still be 2,000 meters behind you.
What will he do later?
If Wang Ye was running alone now, they might gloat at the fact that he had exhausted too much of his stamina and couldn’t run anymore.
But now, they were running together!
Regardless of whether he could still run later, it was embarrassing to be lapped by someone now.
At this moment, Wang Ye also heard the person cursing.
Slightly stunned, Wang Ye held his breath and quickened his pace again.
He didn’t reply as he was too lazy. Later, he would use the facts to tell them how he finished the entire race.
Of course, the rest of the people in front were still struggling.
Even if they knew that accelerating now would ruin their running rhythm and increase their stamina consumption, they couldn’t bear to be lapped.
This was a humiliation.
The shame of a soldier.
Of course, it wasn’t that no one was lying flat.
For example, in the team, after the soldiers of the fourth company turned around and looked at Wang Ye, they continued to run at their own pace, completely unaffected.
They were used to it.
Wang Ye did the same thing back at their Iron Bones Hero Regiment.
From the 400-meter obstacle that made everyone despair to the 8km run, it also made everyone despair.
To lead by an entire lap?
When they ran eight kilometers, they were already used to being behind by an entire lap.
Even the soldiers of the 4th Company couldn’t help but laugh when they saw the other companies and even the other district teams running past them with red faces.
These lads were too young!
They were only a bit into the run and they couldn’t stand it?
Can’t take it anymore?
Of course, there were also soldiers from the 4th Company who thought of themselves.
Back then, when they first started running with Wang Ye, they were also like this.
Once upon a time-
A soldier of the 4th Company looked at the soldiers of the other companies who were faster than him, his eyes full of reminiscence.
“Wang Ye, how about… Why don’t we slow down and chase them away…Run for a while to relieve some of our pressure!” When the seventh lap was about to end, Wang Ye finally caught up to the two veterans from behind.
Fourth company.
These two weren’t originally running at the back, but the group behind them couldn’t stand the stimulation of Wang Ye catching up and forcing themselves to speed up and run to the front. Therefore, the two of them were now at the bottom.
When Wang Ye ran to the two of them, one of them was panting heavily, but he was grinning.
His voice wasn’t loud, and the other companies running in front definitely couldn’t hear him clearly.
Don’t, that’s too bad. It won’t be good if you really can’t finish running and get eliminated!” Wang Ye’s aura was also a little heavy, but it wasn’t a problem for him to speak.
“What the hell are you guys talking about? Wang Ye, continue running. And the two of you, don’t you know that you’re at the bottom?”
Ji Qing Lin stood on the side of the track a few dozen meters ahead.
When he saw that Wang Ye had actually slowed down and was even turning his head to chat with the two soldiers from the fourth company, he was immediately speechless for a moment. At the same time, he couldn’t help but roar.
Immediately, Wang Ye hurriedly turned around, “I’ll run first!”
Wang Ye didn’t care about the two of them anymore. He quickly accelerated again and resumed his rhythm.
The two of them also increased their speed slightly, but their rhythm did not change.
They wouldn’t listen to Ji Qing Lin’s nonsense.
They knew very well that they could run within twenty-one minutes.
Just do it at their own pace.
Looking at the guys in front of him, they were all running with all their might. Some of them were even competing with each other earlier. Later on, their stamina would definitely decrease and their speed would slow down.
This was a long-distance run. Five kilometers was not four hundred meters or three kilometers.
If they competed for a while and couldn’t run anymore, their results would be ugly.
As for now?
They were already used to being provoked by Wang Ye in the Fourth Company, so they didn’t care about being circled.
Of course, the main person was Wang Ye. They would still care if someone else came to overtake them.
However, the fastest of the others was still a hundred meters behind them. If they wanted to overtake them, they would need to go down at least one or two laps at their current speed.
They were not in a hurry.
“You… You really… This is crazy!”
Wang Ye finally surpassed the soldiers of the other teams in front of him.
Seeing Wang Ye run past him and accelerate to run side by side for a while, the soldiers gritted their teeth and panted. After saying this with a flushed face, his footsteps slowed down.
He had ruined it.
The main thing was that he could not take it anymore.
Running at Wang Ye’s speed consumed too much energy. He felt that if he continued running like this, he would probably only need to run one lap before he would not be able to continue running.
Therefore, he could only accept it and let Wang Ye win.
With the first one, there would naturally be a second and a third.
All of them were obviously very aggrieved. They had just finished six laps and were about to enter the seventh lap when Wang Ye was ahead by an entire lap.
The excitement was something they had never experienced before in their own company.
But now, they could only accept their fate.
After being chased by Wang Ye for more than half a circle and accelerating until now, their legs were really weak.
They couldn’t take it anymore and stopped speeding.
“This Wang Ye is indeed a good seedling!” Xiao Lian was now standing with the instructor. Seeing the situation on the track, he could not help but speak.
“Hehe, the Iron Bones Hero Regiment really picked up a treasure.”
“Of course, they also stepped on thunder!” The instructor also smiled and added.
Immediately, Xiao Lian’s smile froze.
“Let’s not talk about that disappointing thing!” Xiao Lian looked at the instructor and stopped the topic.
Then, he raised his hand to look at the time.
“Ten and a half minutes. Wang Ye has already finished running eight laps. How much do you think he can run in the end?”
“If we can maintain it, there’s hope for us to reach within seventeen minutes!”
“I think it’s possible. Even if it’s not possible, this result is a little exaggerated!”
After a pause, Xiao Lian spoke again, “It seems like the division headquarters are planning to organize a martial arts competition. It might be announced soon. If he can make it to 17 minutes, our division will definitely be in the top three!”
“What a freak. The key is that this isn’t his strongest point. The 400-meter obstacle course is his forte. The new recruit even broke their regiment’s record. That result, tsk tsk… Not to mention our division, our army can probably do whatever they want!”
“All, yes, my head hurts!” As Xiao Lian spoke with a smile, he suddenly rubbed his temples helplessly.
“Oh?”
Looking at Wan Yi’s puzzled gaze, he smiled and said, “You know, I actually prefer to train with everyone and motivate them personally. But now that Wang Ye is here, how can I do that and still do better than the rest?”
“Haha!” At this moment, the instructor smiled happily..
