Nan XiangWan usually trained fiercely. After continuous months of uninterrupted training, she had started weight training and kept increasing and increasing the weight. She had now practiced up to 80 kg in weight training.
Now letting her run carrying 35 kg of weight, she didn't feel any pressure at all. She even felt it was a bit light!
The 20 km route had to be run outdoors, jogging over a hill and through the woods.
Sun Hui was leading the new recruits with Mantou as the team leader.
Mantou stood in the first row, looked at the time, and shouted, "Timing starts now! Those under 2 hours fail! Begin--!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Everyone started moving forward carrying the weights, stepping heavily.
Mantou ran at the very front, maintaining a speed of 10 km per hour.
Nan XiangWan and Gu Beihuai were both in the middle of the team, not too fast or too slow as they followed along.
Somehow Long Yue had run to Nan XiangWan's side at some point and said, "Compare moves tonight?"
Nan XiangWan looked her over and nodded: "Sure!"
Long Yue started laughing. "Don't beat me to death, just to the point I surrender."
Nan XiangWan: "I won't go all out."
Long Yue didn't say anything more, just continued to keep up with the team's pace.
Gu Beihuai had been running behind Nan XiangWan the whole time without talking, just following along the whole way.
The little cubs were almost becoming little soldier kings.
The actors were running 3 km with Sun Hui, carrying 2 kg. At first it didn't feel heavy, but as they kept running, it got heavier and heavier.
Originally the route was together with the main troops, but the air force's training requirements had to meet the standards of a forced march--they raced ahead out of sight in minutes.
Only 10 actors were left behind, running while panting for air.
Just after running a little over a kilometer, they couldn't stand it already.
Both of Hua Ying's legs were swollen now. She felt like the weight on her back was a huge mountain!
Not to mention Ji Jirou and Zhu Yun next to her, who had already sat down unable to get back up.
The other male actors weren't much better off, panting wildly.
Tan Shen's condition was much better. He worked out long-term, so this bit of weight was acceptable to him.
It was much more comfortable than standing at attention.
Then Tan Shen came in front of Hua Ying and held out a hand, "If you really can't carry it, give some of the weight to me."
As he spoke, he explained further, "You trained the full set of items with Colonel Long yesterday. Your body can't handle it today."
Ji Jirou and Zhu Yun both nodded. That's right.
Sister Hua Ying was really too hardworking!
But like this every day, could her body endure it?
Hua Ying smiled and shook her head. "No need, Teacher Tan. I can do it."
Having said that, she stood up, weighed the pack on her back, and continued running.
Tan Shen withdrew his hand and didn't say anything more.
At this time, Sun Hui walked over and tossed over a military pickax. "Think it's too light? Double the weight!"
A military pickax was 2 kg. Tan Shen instantly had 4 kg of weight.
Tan Shen: "......"
He really didn't want to talk!
After handing over the pickax, Sun Hui didn't give Tan Shen any chance to refuse. He even added while walking away,
Sun Hui: "This is military supplies that can't be lost."
Having finished speaking, he raced forward and started running.
Tan Shen almost cursed!
The others also shivered in fear, not daring to speak, worried that they would hear "double the weight!"
They were barely dragging themselves with 2 kg for 3 km. 4 kg would kill them.
Sun Hui was also carrying 35 kg, but since he was leading the new recruits, he didn't need to run so fast. For him right now, it was like he was resting--while recovering from injury.
The actors started running again. Out here in the wilderness, no one dared fall behind.
Sun Hui ran in the very front, stopping every now and then to wait for them in place.
Too slow!
...
At this time, the front troops had already run very far, running into the secluded woods.
5 km had passed since the starting point.
Quite a few people were starting to feel tired under 35 kg.
They had to complete the 20 km weight carry run within 2 hours. They couldn't let their speed drop.
To conserve strength, no one talked.
Occasionally someone would take water out of their backpack and drink a sip or two.
At this time, Teng Shihai jogged to a stop and drank a bit of water. His face and back were completely drenched in sweat.
Just then, Nan XiangWan ran past and suddenly did a high kick next to him.
Teng Shihai: "???"
Nan XiangWan: "Big guy, you can't handle it? Out of steam already?"
Teng Shihai: "!!!"
After provoking him, Nan XiangWan continued running forward.
Pant pant!
Teng Shihai was so angry the water in his mouth almost spewed out.
He put the water bottle back in his bag, weighed the 35 kg, and started charging forward,
Soon catching up to Nan XiangWan.
The two ran side-by-side, glaring angrily at each other the whole way!
Do you submit? No!
Want to compete? Let's compete!
So the two ran faster and faster, faster and faster!
The two rushed past the first platoon, rushed past Mantou, then continued rushing forward.
Rushing the whole way!
Mantou had also sweated a lot. He had no energy to manage them now.
Teng Shihai knew the route. Even with his competitive spirit aroused, he wouldn't lose his head.
As long as the two didn't get lost, it was fine.
Soon Gu Beihuai caught up as well. As he passed Mantou, he glanced over.
Mantou: "???"
What do you mean? What are you looking at!
The next second, Gu Beihuai also sped up, rushing in the direction Nan XiangWan had disappeared.
Mantou: "......"
Was he provoked?
A veteran provoking an officer on active duty?
Then Mantou also started speeding up--charge!
With the team leader rushing ahead, the people behind all started speeding up too. So the group that had originally planned a 2 hour 20 km weight carry, forcibly shortened the time.
An hour and a half later, Mantou arrived at the rendezvous point 20 km away.
Very lively!
Several armored vehicles were parked there with rear support personnel preparing lunch.
Mantou ran over panting hard, doing a headcount.
First platoon all present, second platoon all present, third platoon...
Mm, all here.
At this time, Teng Shihai stepped forward and reported loudly, "Report!"
Mantou: "Speak!"
Teng Shihai's sweat poured down like water: "Didn't catch Nan XiangWan! She got away! Over!"
Mantou: "???"
What?
Wait!
He pondered it over!
Mantou suddenly realized that while all the air force who participated in the 20 km weight carry run were present, Nan XiangWan and Gu Beihuai were missing.
Not here?
That wasn't right!
Those two ran faster than the last. Mantou hadn't even seen a glimpse of them the whole way.
So that meant...
Both had gotten lost?
Mantou's head instantly started buzzing painfully. He almost wanted to curse.
He had thought that with Teng Shihai following, they wouldn't get lost.
Who knew Teng Shihai hadn't caught up!
Although Nan XiangWan had good physical ability, she hadn't undergone professional training or run this route before, so who knew if she could understand the coordinates for the rendezvous point?
But soon Mantou frowned again. That wasn't right!
Even if Nan XiangWan didn't understand, Gu Beihuai did!
How did Gu Beihuai get lost too?
Damn!
Mantou looked at the time. There was still half an hour until the 2 hour standard, hopefully those two could make it on time.
The rest--first eat!
Anyway, Gu Beihuai was with her so nothing major should happen.
