I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

"What...are they doing?"

"It's like a running race."

"Running?" Cao Meng turned to look at him. "Who taught them this running style? Sprinting from the start, with over nine kilometers to go, what kind of running is that?"

Liu Zhen: "They taught them themselves. Look how happy they are running."

Qin Gang gritted his teeth and said, "How much do these five bastards want to show off? Running away like this from the start, they're definitely doomed."

The only one on the field with a bitter expression was Hao Qiang.

He stood there stunned for several seconds, and only when the five people in front of him had run seventy or eighty meters away did he suddenly come to his senses.

He's really mentally broken.

Although he hesitated, he couldn't afford to fall behind alone!

He's the top runner in the entire regiment for the five-kilometer race. If he gets left behind and can't even see his shadow, how will he ever make a living?

Hao Qiang steeled his resolve, pushed off with his feet, and charged forward.

He is indeed fast.

After all, they were the fastest runners in the whole group, with long and light strides, and they caught up with the five in front of them not far away.

But he struggled to keep up.

He was catching his breath when he heard Zhao Yihang's incredibly cheerful voice.

"Brother Qiang is here! Welcome, welcome! We thought you'd fallen behind!"

"Brother Qiang, could you keep an eye on my backpack for me later? I think I'm carrying it a little crooked!"

Hao Qiang's head was buzzing from the chatter of these people.

"Could you... please... stop talking... and save your... energy..."

"Stamina?" Ma Teng turned around and smiled at him from ahead. "Brother Qiang, it's only the first kilometer, and you're already saving your energy? What are you going to do later?"

"You...!" Hao Qiang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Aren't these people tired at all?

He considered himself to be one of the best in terms of physical fitness, but running alongside five people like this, he could clearly feel the pressure.

These five people were incredibly fast and ran with remarkable stability. Their breathing rhythms were perfectly synchronized, as if they were growing together.

If he hadn't specifically trained for the 5km run, he would have been left far behind by now.

He turned his head and glanced at the edge of the playground, where he saw Qin Gang and the others standing there with dark faces, staring intently in their direction.

Then he looked at the five people in front of him, who were running like little tigers, kicking their legs and rushing forward.

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart.

This group of people is so damn abnormal!

On the playground, the students from the regular classes were struggling to catch up.

Looking at the top class ahead, they're from completely different worlds.

They ran like wild horses, shouting slogans as they went!

Qin Gang felt something was off.

"Wait, did they really carry 25 kilograms in those backpacks? Did they deliberately unload some weight while stretching earlier?"

Liu Zhen also found it strange, so he ran a few steps ahead of those people, blocked their way, and shouted:

"Stop! Backpack inspection!"

Zhao Yihang and the others quickly stopped and cooperated by opening their backpacks.

Liu Zhen's eyes widened when he saw it.

Goodness, these people's backpacks are packed to the brim.

Red bricks and military supplies.

Inside, there was also a large mineral water bottle filled with water and sandbags, which they added themselves as weight.

"What...what's going on with you guys? Why are you running so fast while carrying all this stuff?" Liu Zhen asked incredulously.

"Reporting, Captain Liu!" Zhao Yihang chuckled, "This is nothing! When we trained with Brother Feng, we carried much heavier loads!"

"There aren't enough bricks in this backpack. I only managed to steal fifteen, while Brother Feng has thirty!"

"You...you run! I want to see how long you can hold out!" Liu Zhen roared, his face dark.

"Yes!" Zhao Yihang and the others shouted in unison.

Then, the five of them charged out in front of Liu Zhen like wild beasts released from their cages.

Hao Qiang wiped his sweat and could only hurry up and catch up.

If this continues, he really feels like he's going to fall behind.

His legs were getting increasingly sore, and his breathing was becoming somewhat erratic.

But to Hao Qiang's dismay, the five people in front of him still hadn't slowed down!

To be precise, they were even a little faster than before!

"Wait...aren't you tired running so fast?" Hao Qiang couldn't help but ask.

"Not tired at all!" Zhao Yihang turned around and smiled brightly at him. "This is nothing! Back in our troupe, every morning we did at least ten kilometers! If you don't believe me, ask Brother Feng. He was just discussing with us about doing extra training this afternoon!"

When Hao Qiang heard the words "extra training," his legs went weak and he almost tripped and fell.

He quickly steadied himself and looked up at Wu Hanfeng in front of him.

That guy was running at the very front of the group, his posture upright and his steps steady, just like he was taking a casual stroll and chatting.

What's most infuriating is that he even put a piece of candy in his mouth while he was running!

Wu Hanfeng turned around and smiled at him, "Want one? To boost your energy!"

"I...I don't need it! Thank you!" Hao Qiang waved his hand, his mind racing.

He just wants to get as far away from Wu Hanfeng as possible right now.

This person definitely has a problem with their physical fitness!

Why are you getting more and more energetic as you run?

What if I get dizzy while running?

I need to be careful; I can't let him try to extort me again.

On the playground, Qin Gang and Liu Zhen stood on the high platform, their eyes fixed on the six people in front of them.

Their expressions grew increasingly grim.

"We've already covered three kilometers," Liu Zhen said in a low voice. "At this pace, with a pace of less than four minutes per kilometer, they're not slow at all."

Qin Gang didn't say anything, but stared intently at Wu Hanfeng, who was running in the lead.

That bastard ran so fast and steadily, it was like he was on fire, he didn't look like someone carrying 40 or 50 kilograms of equipment at all.

"Keep up close!" Qin Gang said coldly, "I don't believe that if they don't slow down after three kilometers, they won't slow down after five. They'll be sorry!"

Liu Zhen thought so too.

In the past, many trainees would rely on their good physical strength and sprint as fast as they could in the first two or three kilometers.

But once they had covered three kilometers, their energy was completely depleted, and they were like wilted eggplants, unable to walk any further.

In their view, these people in the top class were typical examples of people who had never run 10 kilometers and didn't know how to allocate their energy.

"Song Yizhou!" Qin Gang shouted.

Song Yizhou immediately ran forward.

"Go to the track and keep an eye on them. How many laps, how many meters—not a single one can be missing! One less lap, one less meter—you'll be training with them until dawn tonight!"

Song Yizhou's face stiffened, but he still answered loudly, "Yes!"

He was heartbroken; what a mess this was!

He was tormented by Wu Hanfeng all night, and now he has to become a human swindler.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Damn it, this Wu Hanfeng is just here to cause trouble!

Thinking about it, he jogged and caught up with the top students.

"You lot! Listen up!" Song Yizhou yelled at the top of his lungs, "Don't think you're so great just because you run fast! In the ten kilometers, anyone who dares to cheat on the laps or the rice won't be sleeping tonight!"

"Don't worry, squad leader!" Zhao Yihang turned around and grinned at him. "We're here to train. Even running a meter less is a loss for us!"

"Right! We're not here to stroll in the park!" Qian Kun shouted after him.

Ma Teng: "Those that run slowly are tortoises!"

Sun Dawei: "Even a tortoise can't be as fast as us!"

Hao Qiang: "..."

He suddenly wanted to apply to be transferred to a regular class.

Really.

If this continues, he will die among these people.
