Shipborne Special Forces.

"Sanbai, believe in yourself, you can pass," Huang Gang comforted Wang Aiguo at this moment.

Wang Aiguo looked at Huang Gang with a complicated expression, and finally nodded firmly: "Thank you for your kind words. I hope I can perform beyond my usual level."

"It's alright, it's alright. Even without extraordinary skills, we can still take over your role as an outstanding soldier." At this moment, everyone stood up and looked at Wang Aiguo with expectant expressions.

Wang Aiguo was stunned. What happened to the camaraderie they shared? Was it appropriate for you to stand up for them at a time like this? Was it appropriate?

…....

Logically speaking, Wang Aiguo had already developed a technological innovation, so theoretically he shouldn't need to be in such a hurry for an outstanding soldier. However, there are two problems. The first problem is that technological innovations are not guaranteed to succeed.

The second point is that the technological innovation cycle really does have a two-year timeframe. Even if it's successful, the certificate won't be issued until two years later. Although the certificate will definitely be issued according to the application date, Wang Aiguo is worried that Wang Jianshe will play word games with him. The contract states that he must receive an "Excellent" award or commendation for each unit he joins. If Wang Jianshe insists that he didn't receive an award when he left basic training, thus requiring him to serve for another three years, he would be at a huge disadvantage.

Therefore, Wang Aiguo valued this outstanding soldier highly and wanted to obtain him as much as possible here.

Moreover, Jiang Tao has already given it to him; as long as he passes the running test, this outstanding soldier title is practically within his grasp.

Thinking of this, Wang Aiguo took a deep breath, and a raging fire ignited in his chest.

"You think you can stop me from going home and becoming a couch potato? Impossible, no one can!!!" Wang Aiguo roared in the darkness, before being tackled and beaten by a group of people who had been woken up by the noise.

.......

However, although he was very enthusiastic when he made up his mind that night, he was still panicked when he stood on the playground the next day and saw the captain's half-dead zombie face during the 3,000-meter test.

"Three hundred, run well! I'll be watching you. If you don't pass, HOHOHOHO..."

The captain laughed wildly, his smile like that of a devil.

Looking at the captain's smile, Wang Aiguo suddenly felt a bit nauseous. To be honest, the pressure was quite intense, causing him some physical discomfort.

"Never mind him, never mind him, just treat him like a radish. This is my last chance, I have to pass, even if it's just one more attempt." Wang Aiguo silently encouraged himself.

Soon, Jiang Tao ran over with the starting pistol. Because of the large number of people in Chenyang Recruit Camp, it was impossible for more than two thousand people to run together, so they tested it in teams one by one.

However, each team only has half an hour at most, and if the 24 teams are divided up, they can finish the race in two days at most.

"Everyone, get ready, run!" Jiang Tao pulled the trigger, and everyone rushed out like mad dogs.

Wang Aiguo was going all out this time, so he didn't plan to conserve his energy and started running with the lead group from the very beginning.

The kilometer was quickly covered, and as Wang Aiguo passed the recorder, he heard the recorder loudly announce the time.

"Three minutes and fifty seconds."

"The first kilometer was not bad. Keep it up, and you might be able to get a best time this time." Wang Aiguo was happy at this moment because his kilometer time was indeed quite good.

However, after running for a short while, Wang Aiguo realized that he seemed to have overestimated himself.

Although he kept telling himself that he would squeeze out every last drop of energy to achieve his best result, the problem was that everyone else in the leading group weighed around 140 or 150 pounds, while he only weighed 185 pounds. Those extra 30 or 40 pounds were enough to make him expend significantly more energy than the others.

By the time they reached 2,000 meters, Wang Aiguo was no longer able to stay in the lead group.

"Nine minutes and ten seconds, hurry up!" The recorder's voice was cold and ruthless, which made Wang Aiguo a little flustered.

The more panicked he became, the more disordered his breathing became, and soon he felt a stabbing pain in his liver and abdomen.

Regular runners should know that this is actually a side stitch caused by difficulty breathing. In this situation, even with good physical strength, you won't be able to achieve good results.

"No way." Wang Aiguo wanted to speed up, but every time he inhaled, he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, so he could only force himself to keep running with his hands on his waist.

However, without the support of his hands, Wang Aiguo's speed decreased again. Slowly, Wang Aiguo fell from the front of the line to the second line, and then slowly slid from the second line to the last third line.

"Am I really going to lose my excellent soldiers?" Wang Aiguo felt a bitter taste in his mouth. If they were gone, he would be at a huge loss.

However, just as Wang Aiguo was about to fall out of the second unit, he suddenly felt a pair of hands on his back.

Wang Aiguo was taken aback. When he turned his head, he saw You Jiang instead.

"Fatty, hang in there, we're almost at the finish line." You Jiang himself was also very tired, panting like an ox. To be honest, You Jiang was a fast runner, at most an average runner. But now, You Jiang was pushing Wang Aiguo from behind, which moved Wang Aiguo deeply.

But the matter wasn't over yet. Soon, Wang Aiguo felt two more hands on his shoulders.

"Hang in there!" Huang Gang and Ma Xiaofeng shouted to Wang Aiguo at the same time.

Wang Aiguo was taken aback. Just as he was about to say something, two more people approached him and grabbed one of his arms.

These are the legendary doctor and Li Zimu; I didn't expect them to come too.

"you……"

"Stop talking nonsense and run!" You Jiang roared, then pushed hard against Wang Aiguo's back.

At the same time, Xiao Tian, ​​who had been at the front of the line, stepped down and moved directly in front of Wang Aiguo.

Xiao Tian is one of the fastest runners; even in the lead group, he would still be considered one of the best. But now Xiao Tian has stepped down to let Wang Aiguo lead the race.

"You don't need to do this. I can handle my own affairs..."

Wang Aiguo was about to say that he didn't want to be a burden to everyone when Huang Gang suddenly interrupted him.

It was a very simple sentence, but it brought tears to Wang Aiguo's eyes.

He always thought he joined the army simply because of a promise he made to his father. He also always thought he was just a passerby in the military camp; he might laugh, shout, and fight here, but ultimately he would never truly belong.

But at that moment, he understood that he had truly become a part of this place. He was no longer that lonely, lazy guy; he would work hard, he would strive, he would fight.

He was no longer indifferent, no longer just waiting to die, and no longer apathetic about anything.

He was no longer alone; he had brothers now.

"Give it your all, 300!" As the finish line appeared, the crowd shouted and pushed Wang Aiguo to accelerate.
