You've already received a first-class merit award, why are you pretending to be a new recruit a

The next morning, the first shift arrived at the clinic.

The medic supported Liu Hai's right ankle and pressed several acupoints.

How much pain does it cause?

"Two and a half."

"Don't play with decimals, be honest."

Liu Hai licked his dry lips.

Less than three minutes.

"Get up and take five steps."

Liu Hai got up, holding onto the edge of the bed, but paused for a moment after his right foot landed.

One step, two steps, and on the third step, my toes turned outwards.

Xiao Longteng was standing nearby, but he didn't offer a helping hand.

The medic raised his hand.

"stop."

Liu Hai immediately stopped.

"Can it be controlled to return to positive?"

"able."

"Do."

Liu Hai slowly brought his toes back; the movement was slow, but he managed to complete it.

The sanitation worker made a few notes on the record sheet.

"You can participate in the training."

Just as Liu Hai was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the medic tapped the pen tip onto the paper.

"I'm not telling you to go risk your life. Remember these three things."

"Pain exceeds five points, report."

"My legs are numb, weak, and I can't stand up straight. Report."

"The class monitor is asking you a question, don't pretend."

Wang Dashan chimed in from the side.

"If he dares to pretend, I'll send him back to you, feet and all."

The sanitation worker tapped the paper with his bangs.

Did you hear me?

"I heard you clearly."

Zhou Zhengguo took the notebook and added a few lines on the last page.

They have a strong willingness to participate in the training.

There is a risk of underreporting.

It requires continuous reminders from the squad leader and fellow soldiers.

Chen Jingxing craned his neck.

"Instructor, could you add a sentence: Chen Jingxing is in charge of supervision and has a positive attitude?"

Zhou Zhengguo looked up.

"You'll supervise?"

"Report, mainly responsible for verbal supervision."

Wang Dashan grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"Then your mouth is under my control today."

When the entire company assembled, kilometer markers were placed next to the runway.

The five-kilometer route starts from the playground, circles the outer perimeter of the camp, goes uphill, and finally returns to the finish line.

Lei Zhan stood in front of the line, holding his assessment form.

"Today, we will conduct a five-kilometer preliminary inspection in armed formation."

The group immediately fell silent.

"Five kilometers is not just about who crosses the finish line first."

"Four categories for overall class evaluation."

"Average score, last place score, number of students falling behind, discipline during the journey."

"The average score is good, but the last place student drops too far and gets points deducted."

"Falling behind means points being deducted."

"Scattered equipment, disorderly queueing, and improper assistance will result in point deductions."

"If you stubbornly refuse to report your injury, the class's grades will be canceled, and the class monitor will have to write a self-criticism."

As the last sentence fell, many people in the group subconsciously looked at Liu Hai.

Liu Hai lowered his chin, not flinching.

Wang Dashan walked to the front of Class One without giving a pep talk.

He was the first to squat down.

He smoothed out Liu Hai's shoelaces with his hand.

The end of the shoelace was pressed in.

Then I touched the waist buckle of the backpack.

The waist buckle is fastened above the hip bone and is not loose.

How much pain does it cause?

"three."

"Three ahead of the pack?"

"It was a bit tight walking over here, now it's 2:50."

Wang Dashan raised his hand and pointed at him.

"Don't round up the amount next time; reimburse only the amount of pain you experience."

"Yes."

Wang Dashan got up.

"Stand in the same positions as last night."

Li Lei took the forward control position.

In the middle section, Chen Jingxing first touched his water bottle, then checked each backpack strap.

At the rear of the line, Xiao Longteng was half a step away from Liu Hai.

Wang Dashan attached the small flagpole of the mobile red flag to the fixing strap on the side of Li Lei's backpack.

As soon as the red flag was hung up, some people from Class Two looked up to see it.

Sun Ming lowered his voice.

"Squad leader, the red flag is really hanging in front of them."

Chen Fei is checking the backpacks in the front row.

"I saw it."

"If we overtake them, the scene will definitely be spectacular."

Chen Fei tightened the cap on his water bottle again.

"Save yourself first."

Sun Ming immediately stood at attention.

"Report: No abnormalities found in the middle section of Class 2."

Chen Fei scanned the ranks of Class Two.

"As planned, we'll establish distance in the first two kilometers, maintain formation in the middle, and preserve formation in the latter part."

"Whoever got dragged into a slower pace by Class 1 will write a debriefing tonight."

Sun Ming added in a low voice.

"If they don't chase, we can't let ourselves be slowed down."

Chen Fei paused for half a second.

"My brain is still working today."

Over at Class 3, Li Qiang had already warmed up.

Zhao Hai hung up the stopwatch.

"You can run forward."

Li Qiang stands at attention.

"Yes."

"But after running ahead, he turned back to take care of the third shift."

Li Qiang paused for a moment.

"Want to see it once?"

"You can decide for yourself how many times to watch it."

The few new recruits in the third squad who were physically weak remained silent.

Li Qiang lifted the backpack straps upwards.

"clear."

Three classes lined up in front of the starting line.

Class 1 started from the first position.

Classes 2 and 3 are to the side and rear.

The starter raised the red flag.

Lei Zhan looked down at his watch.

"Attention, all classes."

Wang Dashan lowered his voice.

"Class One, follow the procedure."

Li Lei responded.

"Pre-emptive control is in place."

Chen Jingxing continued.

"Mid-section in place."

Liu Hai lowered his voice.

"Ankle observation, thorough."

Xiao Longteng spoke last.

"The rear support is in place."

As soon as the whistle blew, the team rushed out of the starting line.

As soon as the front row of the second class crossed the line, their speed immediately increased.

Chen Fei followed on the outside, pressing his palm down.

"Don't panic, stick to the plan!"

Li Qiang from the third class pushed out from the other side and reached the front in just over ten steps.

He walked quickly, and his backpack didn't wobble.

Many new recruits felt a surge of excitement and quickened their pace.

Class One didn't chase after them.

Li Lei's steps faltered.

The red flag fluttered on the side of his backpack, becoming more conspicuous the slower he moved.

Chen Jingxing ran two hundred meters, all he could hear was the sound of the Second Class pressing forward.

He couldn't help but take half a step forward.

Xiao Longteng came up from the side and behind, positioned to his outside.

"Don't steal it."

Chen Jingxing was feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Brother Xiao, Class Two has all gone up."

"formation."

"It's so embarrassing that the Red Flag was overtaken."

"You don't lose points for being embarrassing, but you do for falling behind."

Chen Jingxing was blocked.

Wang Dashan followed beside him, his voice catching up.

"Chen Jingxing, if you keep pushing forward, you'll have a heart-to-heart talk with Hongqi tonight."

"Yes, squad leader, I respect the red flag."

Hearing the commotion behind him, Li Lei slowed down the pace of the front row by half a beat.

The opening that had been created quickly closed.

Liu Hai was at the back of the line, but he didn't mess up the start.

Xiao Longteng asked every ten steps or so.

"ankle."

"Three points."

"Does it feel numb?"

"It's not numb."

"Toes".

"Yes, you can go back."

"breathe."

"Two steps, one vomiting."

Each sentence is short.

Liu Hai answered, his breathing becoming steady.

The first kilometer marker has passed.

Class 2 is already dozens of meters ahead of Class 1.

Sun Ming was running in the middle of Class 2 and couldn't help but glance back.

"Class One didn't chase after them."

Chen Fei immediately pressed him down.

"Look ahead."

"Report, I confirm the distance."

"Measure distances with your legs, not your neck."

Li Qiang from Class 3 was positioned further forward, right next to the front row of Class 2.

Zhao Hai shouted from behind.

"Li Qiang!"

Li Qiang turned around.

The middle section of Class 3 was stretched out.

He slowed down by half a beat, waited a few steps, and was then pushed forward by the front row of the second class.

He stayed true to the rhythm, stopped rushing around, and kept his position behind the first group.

At the edge of the track, several spectators were taking notes on the timing board.

"Class Two is starting well."

"Chen Fei dared to slow down in the first two kilometers."

"The class with the red flag is actually the most stable."

Lei Zhan did not respond.

He wrote a line in the register.

Class 1, first kilometer, stable pace, complete formation, Liu Hai did not fall behind.

Zhou Zhengguo was also keeping track of the number of times Liu Hai gave feedback.

"We've reported it three times so far; we haven't concealed anything."

Lei Zhan simply grunted in response.

"Look at the slope."

In the first half of the second kilometer, the second team sped up again.

With this lift, Sun Ming's legs immediately felt heavy.

"Squad leader, are the front row almost there?"

Chen Fei has already discovered it.

With Li Qiang holding the line in the front row of Class Two, the pace was half a step faster than planned.

He shouted immediately.

"Second Class, stop half a step!"

Someone in the front row is collecting them.

Some people couldn't stop themselves.

The group didn't break up, but when someone in the middle caught up, their breathing became erratic.

Sun Ming quickly answered the command.

"Hold on in the middle, don't let the front drag you down!"

Chen Fei glanced at him, but this time he didn't curse.

On Class One's side, Chen Jingxing also heard Class Two's command.

"Brother Xiao, they brought it up again."

"Um."

"Aren't we going to move?"

Xiao Longteng confirmed the entrance to the ramp and then returned to the side and behind Liu Hai.

"Not quite there."

Chen Jingxing was feeling incredibly frustrated.

"Who decided on this location?"

Wang Dashan chimed in from the side.

"I made the decision, do you have a problem with it?"

"No, I think this point is very insightful."

As Liu Hai ran, his right foot turned slightly outward.

Xiao Longteng lowered his voice.

"Liu Hai, toes back to center."

"Yes."

How much pain does it cause?

"Three and a half."

"Can it be controlled?"

"able."

"Report this to the squad leader."

Liu Hai took a breath.

"Reporting, squad leader! My ankle at point 3.5 is not numb and I can control it!"

Wang Dashan returned immediately.

"Keep reporting, don't skip any words!"

"yes!"

Chen Jingxing listened from the side, wanting to interrupt, but held back.

Xiao Longteng tilted his head.

"Speak freely about the training content."

Chen Jingxing immediately perked up.

"Zhang Qiang, stop shaking the kettle!"

"Li Lei, stop holding back in front, you can follow later!"

"Your bangs can bounce back with your toes, don't scare yourself!"

Wang Dashan cursed, but this time he didn't shut him up.

The second kilometer marker is located just before the entrance to the ramp.

Class Two arrived first.

The front row didn't decrease, and they took advantage of the flat road before the slope to push forward a few more steps.

The ease on Sun Ming's face vanished.

"Squad leader, we haven't even reached the top of the slope yet..."

Chen Fei suppressed his anger.

"Second class, ease up the pace as you ascend the slope!"

Li Qiang from Class 3 also arrived at the slope.

He turned to look at Class 3, and paused for a moment.

Zhao Hai waved from behind.

"Don't just focus on what's ahead!"

Class 1 continued to approach the slope at the same pace.

The red flag has not fallen.

The formation didn't break.

Chen Jingxing stared at the second shift that was already going uphill ahead, his throat dry.

"Brother Xiao, they've gone up."

Xiao Longteng took half a step forward and stood diagonally in front of Liu Hai.

Wang Dashan raised his hand from the side.

"Class One, ramp formation!"

Li Lei collects the front row.

Chen Jingxing held the water bottle strap.

Liu Hai bit down and spat out the air every two steps.

At the entrance to the ramp, Xiao Longteng raised his voice for the first time.

"From here on, listen to my footsteps."
