The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

Chapter 90, number 1, number 1, still number 1!

"Shen Yan!"

"Nine minutes and eleven seconds!"

As the examiner's voice faded, the entire area around the track fell silent for a moment.

Nine minutes and eleven seconds?

Several officials in charge of supervision nearby subconsciously looked down at the stopwatch.

They even started to suspect that the timer might have pressed the stopwatch too early!

The results on the three stopwatches differed by less than 0.1 seconds.

There were no issues with missing laps.

This proves that the results are valid!

"Nine minutes and eleven seconds..."

A company officer looked at Shen Yan on the track and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

A male soldier's perfect score is 11 minutes and 30 seconds in the 3,000-meter race.

Shen Yan pushed the perfect score line forward by a full two minutes and nineteen seconds!

This score, placed in the recruit training camp, is no longer a question of whether it's a perfect score or not.

Instead, it was so sudden it was almost unreasonable!

They've even broken the entire division's record for new recruits!

The training staff of the military region's special forces were originally standing at the back of the crowd.

At that moment, he subconsciously took two steps forward, looked down, and drew another circle heavily after Shen Yan's name.

There aren't many new recruits who can run under ten minutes.

If these soldiers aren't included in the key observation list, then their trip would have been in vain.

Just then, he heard hurried footsteps behind him again.

Wei Shanjia gritted his teeth and crossed the finish line!

"Wei Shanjia!"

"Nine minutes and twenty-six seconds!"

As soon as Wei Shanjia crossed the finish line, he put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath.

Nine minutes and twenty-six seconds!

This is also a score that far exceeds the perfect mark!

If it weren't for Shen Yan, he would definitely be the most outstanding person in this group, or even in the entire recruit company's 3,000-meter assessment.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in reality!

Wei Shanjia took several breaths before looking up at the timekeeper.

"How much is Shen Yan?"

"Nine minutes and eleven seconds."

"How many?!"

"Nine minutes and eleven seconds."

Confirming that he hadn't misheard, Wei Shanjia's expression froze.

I've already worked incredibly hard for the past month or so!

I get up early to practice with Shen Yan in the morning, and then I train normally with the class during the day.

As long as my body can hold up at night, I secretly work out my core and strength in the dorm.

Even meals are being eaten more than before!

In the 3,000-meter test, he was still left a full fifteen seconds behind by Shen Yan.

What exactly went wrong?

Before Wei Shanjia could figure it out, Ga Wa caught up from behind, gritted his teeth, and rushed across the finish line.

"Little boy!"

"Nine minutes and thirty-four seconds!"

After crossing the finish line, Ga Wa staggered a couple of steps, but quickly regained his balance and followed Shen Yan's example, taking a few more steps forward.

His time was also under ten minutes, which is also excellent!

A new recruit who ran away from the pastoral areas and mountains without any professional sports training.

Running 3,000 meters in under 9 minutes and 40 seconds is enough to impress many company officers.

After catching his breath, Ga Wa walked over to Wei Shanjia's side.

"Hey friend."

"Shen Yan's performance mode is absolutely terrifying!"

"We in the normal mode really can't beat him!"

Wei Shanjia: "..."

Wei Shanjia turned his head and glanced at Shen Yan.

Although Shen Yan's breathing was still a little heavy, he had basically adjusted.

Standing there, he didn't look like he had just run a 3,000-meter race in nine minutes and eleven seconds.

"I'm a little resentful!"

"How could he be so fast?"

"He's still this good after stopping training for a month. If we let him train for another month, wouldn't we be completely crushed?"

After thinking about it carefully, Ga Wa felt a chill of fear!

If Shen Yan were to train for another month, they probably wouldn't even be able to breathe in his exhaust fumes!

……

After the break, the next assessment began soon.

Run a 30-meter serpentine run!

On the testing site, several marker poles were placed in advance according to the standard positions.

New recruits need to start from the starting point, continuously circle around the marker poles, complete a 30-meter serpentine run, and then quickly return.

This project may seem short, but it truly tests more than just explosive power.

Speed, coordination, change of direction, and center of gravity control—you can't do without any of them!

No matter how fast you go in a straight line, if you can't keep your body under control when going over the pole, you may still hit the pole, step on the line, or even fall off.

After hearing the examiner announce the rules, Wei Shanjia's fighting spirit was reignited.

I lost the 3000 meters, and I lost the sit-up too.

But the serpentine run is different!

He is a first-class athlete at the sports academy!

Acceleration, sudden stops, and changes of direction are his strengths!

He simply couldn't believe that he couldn't beat Shen Yan in any of the games today!

"Wei Shanjia!"

"arrive!"

Wei Shanjia was the first to enter the assessment area.

He stretched his ankles, fixed his eyes on the signpost ahead, and leaned forward slightly.

"preparation!"

"start!"

As soon as the command was given, Wei Shanjia rushed out!

He was extremely fast in the first half of the race. As he approached the marker pole, he quickly lowered his center of gravity, pushed off with his outside foot, and changed direction by brushing his body against the marker pole.

Agile maneuvering around poles, instant acceleration!

Wrap it around the pole again!

The entire sequence of movements was performed in one smooth motion!

After passing the last marker, Wei Shanjia pushed off again and rushed back to the finish line at top speed.

"Seventeen seconds and twenty-one!"

Upon hearing the results, Wei Shanjia's eyes lit up instantly.

This is his best result in a period of time!

He has pushed himself to his limits!

Wei Shanjia turned to look at Shen Yan. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was quite clear.

Have you seen?

This is our specialty as athletes!

Soon, it was Gawa's turn to take the stage.

Although Ga Wa has not received professional training in changing direction.

But he grew up chasing and herding sheep in the pastoral areas, so he was extremely agile!

In this regard

As soon as the starting signal sounded, Ga Wa rushed out quickly as well.

His straight-line burst is similar to Wei Shanjia's, but he is very agile when changing direction!

"Seventeen and an eighteen seconds!"

It was 0.03 seconds faster than Wei Shanjia!

Wei Shanjia's smile suddenly froze on the spot.

"What's going on?"

"How come that shepherd boy is faster than me?"

After seeing Ga Wa's results, Wei Shanjia's newly regained dignity as a sports student quickly vanished!

"Shen Yan!"

"arrive!"

Upon hearing Shen Yan's name, Wei Shanjia's smile froze slightly.

It's okay!

"Ready, run!"

The starting signal has been given!

Shen Yan suddenly accelerated!

His starting speed wasn't much faster than Wei Shanjia's, but the difference quickly became apparent once they entered the marker area.

When Shen Yan approaches the pole position, he will shorten his stride in advance and lower his center of gravity.

The ball of his foot landed almost perfectly in the most suitable position for changing direction.

The moment the body rounded the signpost, the outer leg quickly exerted force, and the whole person accelerated again!

Turn around!

Sprint!

Turn around again!

Shen Yan stepped across the finish line, and the examiner pressed the stopwatch.

"Sixteen and a half seconds!"

Wei Shanjia's smile vanished once again.

First place again!

And he was 0.33 seconds faster than him!

This amount of time doesn't seem like much.

But a 30-meter serpentine run only takes a dozen seconds!

It's not easy to improve by even 0.1 seconds, let alone directly increase it by 0.33 seconds!

The officers of the reconnaissance company stared intently at Shen Yan's running route, their eyes practically gleaming.

"This kid has amazing coordination!"

"He maintains a stable center of gravity when changing direction, and his footwork is clean."

"This kind of body control will definitely make you faster at obstacle courses and complex terrain maneuvers!"

Upon hearing this, the officers of the nearby guard company immediately became alert.

"You only saw the serpentine run once, and you're already thinking about your reconnaissance company?"

"His shooting and tactics haven't been tested yet!"

"What's your hurry!"

The reconnaissance company officer glanced at him.

"Good soldiers need to be spotted in advance."

"We'll see after the assessment; you've already snatched all the daylilies!"

Wei Shanjia did not hear the argument among the cadres.

He just stared at Shen Yan, his eyes filled with incomprehension.

"I admit you have good stamina for the 3000 meters."

"How can you run so fast even when you're slithering like a snake?"

Shen Yan thought about it seriously for a moment.

"Perhaps the past month or so spent navigating rubble and carrying the wounded in the disaster area, navigating complex terrain, has improved his physical coordination?"

Wei Shanjia opened his mouth.

Can disaster relief efforts also provide an opportunity to practice serpentine running?

Aren't you going a bit too far with your nonsense?

Ga Wa stood to the side and earnestly summarized:

"Friend, accept reality."

"A cheater is a cheater whether they're driving in a straight line or taking a winding road!"

"Even though I'm faster than you, you can't deny it!"

Wei Shanjia was completely speechless.

I couldn't even outrun the shepherd boy this time, it's so embarrassing!

……

After the physical fitness test, the assessment moved on to 100-meter prone shooting with support.

Upon arriving at the shooting range, the relaxed expression on the recruits' faces quickly vanished.

If you don't perform well in physical events, the worst that can happen is that your score is a little lower.

But shooting is different!

Firearm handling, prone position, gun holding, aiming, firing – every step must be completed strictly according to the assessment requirements!

The officer in charge of the shooting assessment reiterated the importance of safety regulations.

"Everyone must obey the command!"

"Guns are strictly prohibited from being pointed at people!"

"Without a firing order, you are not allowed to release the safety, and you are absolutely not allowed to fire!"

"Did you understand?"

"I understand!"

The new recruits took their firing positions in groups.

A series of gunshots soon rang out from the shooting range!

Some new recruits fired well on their first shot, but in the following shots, due to nervousness, their breathing and shooting posture changed, and the bullet impact points became more and more scattered.

Some people miss the target on their first shot, which affects their mindset. They then rush to make up for it, but the more anxious they are, the more chaotic their actions become.

Wei Shanjia's results remain good.

Five shots, forty-seven rings!

Ga Wa scored 48 points, temporarily moving him to the front of the rankings.

When it was Shen Yan's turn, there was noticeably more attention on the sidelines.

He has already taken first place in the physical fitness test!

Now everyone wants to see just how well he can shoot.

After Shen Yan took his firing position, he quickly lay down.

Use your elbows to stably support your body.

As his breathing gradually slowed down, his aim also gradually stabilized.

boom!

The first bullet was fired.

Shen Yan did not rush to fire a second shot, but readjusted his breathing and waited for his aim to stabilize again.

boom!

Five gunshots rang out in succession at the shooting range.

Shen Yan switched off the safety and exited the firing position according to the command.

Soon, the target reporter's voice came from ahead.

"Shen Yan!"

"Five shots, fifty rings!"

Upon hearing the results, another commotion erupted at the shooting range.

Full ring!

Moreover, he is the only one among all the new recruits to score 50 rings so far!

The examiner responsible for recording the scores glanced down at Shen Yan's score.

Sit-ups are number one!

First place in the 3000 meters!

The serpentine run is number one!

Is shooting still the first priority?

He couldn't help but look up at Shen Yan.

Does this kid have any areas he's not good at?

He Zhiyuan from the communications unit was also standing on the sidelines.

He had seen Shen Yan throw grenades before.

Standing: 78 meters; kneeling: 61 meters; lying down: 59 meters!

All three techniques broke the communications company's records!

At the time, He Zhiyuan thought that Shen Yan's most outstanding military skill was bombing.

Now he realizes that he had been thinking too simply!

This kid is not only outstanding in throwing grenades.

He excels in every single aspect!

He Zhiyuan turned to look at Chen Gang.

"Tell me the truth."

"Did your recruit company secretly give all the best stuff from the entire regiment to Shen Yan alone?"

Chen Gang glanced at him.

"I'd like to stuff it in."

"But all training plans are standardized. Can you just hand me one on the spot?"

"If I had that ability, what would we call our 'Sharp Knife Company'?"

"We've long since become the elite special forces unit!"

He Zhiyuan was momentarily speechless.

But the look in her eyes as she gazed at Shen Yan became even more intense.

Despite having the same training content, Shen Yan was able to excel in every single event.

What does this tell us?

This shows that he not only has a good foundation, but also a strong learning ability!

No matter which company these soldiers go to, with just a little training, they can quickly become key personnel!

Easily complete three phases!

……

After the shooting assessment, the final assessment was on basic tactical movements.

Leap forward, lie down, crawl, use cover, and move tactically with a gun!

This item is not just about speed.

Any incorrect movements, excessive body exposure, touching the restriction line, or failure to use cover as required will all result in point deductions!

Wei Shanjia was still very fast, but some of his movements were noticeably rough.

Especially when crawling in a low position, he wished he could rely on his physical strength to carry himself forward by simply lifting off the ground.

Gawa performed better on complex routes and low-profile movements, but her transitions between movements were not yet smooth enough.

When it was Shen Yan's turn, almost all the company officers took a few steps closer to the assessment field.

They're no longer just watching the spectacle.

The real question is whether Shen Yan can maintain his "first place in the entire project" until the very end!

"start!"

The command has been given!

Shen Yan rushed out quickly!

Before entering the open area, he first determined the route, then lowered his head and quickly leaped forward.

When approaching cover, lower your center of gravity in advance!

Lie down in advance, take tactical stance, and begin observation!

Shen Yan's movements were clean and efficient, without any unnecessary pauses!

Once inside the crawling area, Shen Yan used his elbows and knees in coordination, keeping his body close to the ground, yet his speed did not decrease significantly.

During disaster relief efforts, he crawled through gaps in the rubble and carried the wounded in confined spaces.

That environment was far more complex than the current assessment route.

He had long since developed considerable experience in figuring out where to find leverage, how to adjust his center of gravity, and how to avoid bumping into obstacles.

Last cover!

Shen Yan quickly leaped forward, entered the designated position, lay down, and fired his gun!

"Finish!"

The examiner pressed the stopwatch.

Then, the action records of Shen Yan throughout the entire assessment process were checked.

No line touched!

No violation!

The movements were quite standard!

Zero points deducted!

"Shen Yan, first in the entire group in basic tactical movements!"

First place again?

Several officers from nearby companies exchanged glances.
