From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 6: Wonderful psychological game (seeking votes)
The fifth day!
Chen Jun was as regular as he had been in the past few days. His biological clock rang at 5 o'clock in his mind, and he woke up on time, left the dormitory and went to the playground for training.

I passed by the sink and washed my face with water, and drank a few sips of water to moisten my stomach.

The comprehensive base where the 7th Steel Company is located is located in the wilderness and there is no water plant at all. The water used is pumped from underground wells.

There is no pollution and there is no problem drinking it raw.

With the foundation laid by the previous four days of training, Chen Jun's condition was getting better and better on the fifth day. His legs were getting stronger and stronger, and were obviously thicker than before.

It has become strong and is no longer just a pair of chopsticks.

The needle-like soreness and pain on the first day has long become a thing of the past.

In order to further increase the difficulty for himself, Chen Jun started running fast when he got to the playground, setting the pace to four minutes and running in circles around the playground.

The goal is to complete the two enhanced training sessions before breakfast at 7 o'clock.

A 10-kilometer sprint as a warm-up, followed by a 5-kilometer fartlek intensive training.

Chen Jun thought that today would be the same as before, running alone from dawn to dawn, and then going to the cafeteria alone to gather for breakfast.

Unexpectedly, after he ran one lap around the playground, a strong figure also came to the playground.

Chen Jun looked closely and found that it was Wu Liuyi.

Wu Liuyi, who is 1.8 meters tall, weighs more than 150 kilograms, which is 10 kilograms heavier than Chen Jun, who is 1.89 meters tall.

This shows how good Wu Liuyi's physical fitness is and how weak Chen Jun's body is.

Fortunately, Chen Jun is very smart.

He was well aware of his own weaknesses and deliberately chose a five-kilometer light-equipped race as the competition event to weaken Wu Liuyi's advantages as much as possible.

Otherwise, if it were a fully armed off-road race, Chen Jun would not be able to beat Wu Liuyi even if he practiced for another month.

Weighted running and running without weights are completely different concepts. The former requires a strong body to support it. Chen Jun can increase his running speed within a week, but he cannot make himself stronger within a week.

It takes time to build up muscle, and it takes even more time for the muscle to become resistant to lactic acid.

"Wu Liuyi has actually started training. It seems that I, a burden to the Seventh Company, have finally made the master Wu Liuyi feel threatened."

Chen Jun feels a sense of accomplishment that he can make experts train because of pressure.

He deliberately slowed down a bit, and when Wu Liuyi ran closer, he took the initiative to greet him: "Hey, Wu Liuyi, so you want to run in the morning too, why didn't you say so earlier? I'll be waiting for you to join me."

"I was woken up by someone getting up. I couldn't sleep, so I just came out for a run." Wu Liuyi insisted.

It was obviously because he felt the pressure, and in order to avoid a setback during the competition that day, he specially trained in advance to get into good shape and feel.

"I can't compare to you. I have to work hard so I can't be left too far behind by you."

Chen Jun smiled and didn't point it out. Sarcasm might feel good for a while, but it would do him more harm than good. His goal was to integrate into the group, not to go to great lengths to show off.

After that, he resumed the rhythm of four-wheel drive acceleration.

Wu Liuyi didn't say anything else and started to accelerate to overtake Chen Jun.

When he passed by, he even glanced at Chen Jun.

With a bit of provocation!

"You little brat, you think you can test my bottom line with just this little trick?"

Chen Jun is an old fox who has been a soldier for several lifetimes. He saw through Wu Liuyi's intention to provoke him into keeping up with his running speed so that he could find out his bottom line. He would not fall for it at all.

He pretended not to see Wu Liuyi's gaze and continued running at a leisurely pace in four directions.

"So calm?"

Wu Liuyi was unwilling to give up, so he gritted his teeth and came up with another plan. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

In order to find out how much progress and improvement Chen Jun has made after several days of hard training, and whether he poses a threat to himself.

Wu Liuyi exerted all his strength and started running all the way on the playground.

The sprint speed is really fast.

In less than two laps, Wu Liuyi was already half a lap ahead of Chen Jun, and came behind Chen Jun again, still approaching quickly.

Once Wu Liuyi catches up and surpasses Chen Jun, he will have accomplished a very humiliating achievement—

Ring!

Being overtaken is one thing, but even being caught up and about to be lapped is something most people cannot tolerate and will definitely try their best to avoid being humiliated.

Chen Jun’s previous performance in the company was that he was notoriously concerned about his reputation.

Wu Liuyi wanted to use this method of provocation to force Chen Jun to show his true strength, so as to complete the investigation during the pursuit between the two sides.

pity.

In front of the veteran Chen Jun, Wu Liuyi is still a little naive when it comes to psychology.

"Although Wu Liuyi is stubborn, he is quite smart. He even used psychology. Unfortunately, not only did I not buy into his tricks, I was even able to take advantage of them."

Chen Jun raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a wicked smile of an old fox, deliberately disrupting his breathing rhythm.

Through active and conscious control, one can reduce one's oxygen intake, increase physical energy consumption, and cause one's condition to deteriorate sharply.

Then he put on an anxious expression, turned his head to look at Wu Liuyi, and then started to speed up.

The entire performance was smooth and flowing, at least at the level of an award-winning actor.

When Wu Liuyi saw Chen Jun speeding up, he knew there was hope, so he increased his running speed even further, increasing the pressure to the maximum and forcing Chen Jun to use all his strength.

Chen Jun also cooperated very well and kept accelerating, even at one point running his pace below three minutes.

This is the level of a national first-class athlete!
Chen Jun had deliberately disrupted his breathing rhythm before, and after such a mindless and continuous sprint, he was exhausted in less than a kilometer and began to suffer from severe physical exhaustion.

His face was not the normal rosy and sweaty one, but a sickly pale and dry one with a blurry look in his eyes.

If you force yourself to continue running in this state, you will soon experience a physiological reaction of vomiting, which will then worsen to the point of exhaustion and fainting.

The fact that Chen Jun had this kind of physical illness shows that his excellent acting skills even deceived his body.

Wu Liuyi was the first in the group to run the five-kilometer light-equipped race. His best result was less than seventeen minutes, so he had a very good understanding of running form.

Seeing Chen Jun’s face turn pale and his feet float, I knew that Chen Jun had reached his limit.

"Is Chen Jun's improvement so fast? He can sprint one kilometer continuously in five days. If he is given another half a month, it is not impossible for him to reach excellence in the five kilometers. However, there are only two days left in the competition. Compared with me, this result is far from good enough."

Wu Liuyi made some analysis in his mind. While he was amazed at Chen Jun's rapid improvement in training, he also thought that he had figured out Chen Jun's strengths.

The best time to run five kilometers with light luggage is no more than eighteen minutes, and Wu Liuyi's best time is more than sixteen minutes.

The two sides are not in the same league.

The faster the speed, the harder it is to improve. Going from eighteen minutes to sixteen minutes is not a simple two minutes, but a gap from difficult to nightmare level.

No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible to make the leap in two days.

Thinking of this...

Wu Liuyi's original inexplicable pressure was completely let go after this secret competition, and he was confident that victory would only belong to him in the end.
