He is two meters and five centimeters tall. Who made him a soldier?

Chapter 80 Three Kilometers

Because the camp is located deep in the mountains and there are usually no passing cars there on weekdays, all the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion sealed off the entire three-kilometer route for testing of new and old soldiers participating in the competition.

The entire three-kilometer field was tested one by one by the veterans in the battalion, and there was no situation where the distance was too close or too far.

But it’s worth mentioning.

After all, we are in the mountains, it is impossible for the road to be flat.

So there are ups and downs, but the slopes are not big, and it is considered a little more difficult than the three kilometers they usually practice on the playground.

"The new and old soldiers who are going to participate in the competition, please step out, and the others will follow my instructions."

The officer on duty waved his hand, and the new and old soldiers from each class walked out of the classroom.

Most of the contestants from different classes are the class monitors, who bring with them two new recruits who are the fastest runners in their class.

For example, the second class next door has squad leader Wang Yuan and two new recruits in their class.

There was one class that participated in the competition, and that included Lu Qinglong, Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao.

"Okay, those who are participating in the competition should follow the participating teams first."

"Other recruits watching, go to the sides and cheer them on."

Under the arrangement of the duty officer, Lu Qinglong and his two companions soon followed the large group of people and arrived at the starting point of the three-kilometer race.

Each of them received a striking yellow vest representing the participating team, as well as a locator with a timing function.

The purpose of the locator is to check whether any contestant is lazy or taking a shortcut.

After all, these veterans had done this before when they were doing running tests. Halfway through the run, they would just ride on the tricycles of their fellow villagers.

After resting on the tricycle for a while, he continued to run forward.

The purpose of giving them the skills is to prevent veterans from being lazy.

This wouldn’t be the case for new recruits, as they don’t dare to be too cunning.

"Old Xue, let's do as we agreed beforehand. I'll push you from behind and see if you can win a place!"

Before the game started, Ji Baichang put one hand on Xue Daochao's shoulder, but there was no sign of nervousness on his face.

Perhaps because he has been with Lu Qinglong for a long time, his psychological quality is much better than other recruits.

At least, ordinary things can't scare him now.

"No, let's just run seriously. I want to see where my limit is."

Xue Daochao actually shook his head and rejected Ji Baichang's kindness.

"Good! You are worthy of being the man I like! You are a man of integrity!"

Ji Baichang gave Xue Daochao a thumbs up.

He was just joking. If Xue Daochao really asked him to push him, he would think that Xue Daochao had taken the wrong medicine today.

"Do you want this rank?"

Lu Qinglong on the side suddenly asked in a buzzing voice.

The two of them were stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Qinglong in confusion.

"If you want to rank higher, I can carry both of you and run one or two kilometers."

"You know, you are so light. For me, there is no difference between carrying weight and not carrying weight."

Lu Qinglong raised his hands above his shoulders and made a lifting gesture, revealing his broad trapezius muscles and explosive deltoid muscles on his shoulders.

The two were stunned. They knew that Lu Qinglong was not joking, and the scene of Lu Qinglong carrying them and running forward appeared in their minds.

"That's not necessary, Qinglong." The two shook their heads.

This is so weird. It's just a big competition, not a team collaboration assessment where the last place score is counted.

"Okay, let's just see how we run our own now."

Lu Qinglong nodded to show that he understood.

Soon, contestants from the other four companies also arrived at the starting point.

They are not like the new and old soldiers in the company, who have such a strong ability to adapt to Lu Qinglong.

They looked at Lu Qinglong as if he were a monster, and could hear their whispers:

"What's wrong with that guy? How come he's so tall and strong? He looks just like a big black bear standing up!"

"Stop talking! I heard from others that he was a local gangster before he joined the army. He made a serious mistake and was forced to join the army to avoid it."

"Ah? Is this true? Didn't he say he had another murder case on his hands?"

"Yes! This guy is very ferocious! Judging from his appearance, he can eat several adults in one meal! When we run next time, stay away from him, so as not to block his way and kill us directly when he turns around!"

For a while, the recruits from other companies were talking about a bloody and violent incident.

Even Lu Qinglong said something like he would kill people without blinking an eye.

Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao were able to get by thanks to Lu Qinglong, as no one else dared to get close to him, allowing them to find a perfect starting position next to him.

Otherwise, with a total of 150 people squeezing together at the starting point and running forward, the people at the back would start several seconds slower.

So the process at the beginning is very important.

"Before the game officially starts, let me say something."

The instructor, representing the major, carrying 21 cents on his shoulder, stood in front of all the participating teams and said.

In fact, the battalion commander and political instructor in a battalion are similar to the company commander and instructor in a company.

There is a military chief and a political chief.

It depends on personal preference and personality. Some instructors like to take on the responsibilities of battalion commanders and also like to oversee the training of new recruits.

It’s the recruit company.

There is no particularly important task, you just need to manage the new recruits.

Therefore, the tasks of the battalion commander and the political instructor are similar.

"Friendship comes first, competition comes second."

"The veteran or new soldier who comes first in the three-kilometer run will receive a commendation. The first in the pull-ups on the horizontal bar will also receive a commendation."

"So there are two opportunities for awards. I hope that everyone can complete today's competition while ensuring that they don't get hurt."

The instructor was speaking at the front, and I didn’t know if it was my illusion.

Lu Qinglong always felt that the instructor was glancing at him, as if everything he said was pointing at him, making him seem like a very dangerous person.

It’s really strange, but I’m just an honest and hardworking recruit.

"Okay, I won't say anything else. The ambulance will follow you throughout the entire arena. If anyone can't hold on, just report it. The new and old soldiers on both sides are watching the battle. Just report it and come down."

After the instructor finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that the referee would take charge of the organization.

"Okay, the instructor has said so much, everyone is ready!"

The veteran referee on the side raised the whistle to his mouth and blew it hard.
