Chapter 0029: On the second day, someone made everyone remember him!

As the squad leader, Shi Jin always conserved his energy and ran at the back of the group. He wasn't worried about the veterans, but there were two new recruits in the group, and among them was Zheng Yingqi, who was crazy about being fully equipped. He had to conserve his energy so that he and Wu Liuyi could each drag one new recruit on the last stretch of the road—the third squad was a collective, and there was no reason to abandon the new recruits.

Just as he had expected, Bai Tiejun showed signs of weakness, his steps becoming unsteady. Wu Liuyi wanted to go up and help him, but Shi Jin quickened his pace and stopped him. He ran to Bai Tiejun's side:

"Bai... Tiejun... Go for it... Defeat... Yourself... Surpass... Yourself!"

After the squad leader encouraged him, Bai Tiejun gritted his teeth and fought back. Shi Jin smiled with satisfaction and then signaled Wu Liuyi to keep an eye on Zheng Yingqi. Wu Liuyi nodded. Although he was dissatisfied with Zheng Yingqi's arrogant and reckless behavior, he still ran after him.

The team quickly reached the halfway point and began to turn back in small groups. The third squad was doing quite well overall, leading the pack, but the veterans who encountered the third squad didn't seem to care. Instead, they smiled and joked at the third squad.

"Class 3...don't...have diarrhea...please don't...let us...overtake..."

The veterans from the other squads were taunting them. That's how it is in a five-kilometer cross-country race. Being fast temporarily doesn't count. The one who's fast in the end is the winner!

Wu Liuyi retorted without backing down: "Come on, try and outdo me!"

Out of breath, Cheng Cai saw Zheng Yingqi, who was fully armed but still running ahead. He felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and relief—he was relieved that he wasn't in the same class as Zheng Yingqi. If they were, Zheng Yingqi would be above him, and Cheng Cai would have no chance to stand out!

The team continued running, and the initially neat formation had stretched out to a considerable length, much longer than before. Gao Cheng was not angry, because he could clearly see that each squad was rationally allocating veterans to help the new recruits, which was why this phenomenon had occurred.

"what?"

Gao Cheng was quickly drawn to Class 3. Compared to the other classes' elongated formations, Class 3's formation was still well-maintained. What surprised him most was that Zheng Yingqi was running ahead, as if trying to guide Class 3.

"I didn't realize this kid was so resilient. But I wonder if he can make it through the last kilometer or so!"

Gao Cheng was quite surprised; he hadn't realized Zheng Yingqi had such physical abilities before!

With only one kilometer left, this distance is basically a test of willpower. Veterans are used to this pace and can still run by gritting their teeth and holding their breath, but the new recruits have already wasted a lot of energy on the four-kilometer distance and have begun to stagger.

Shi Jin shouted, "Just a few hundred meters left! Give it your all, sprint!"

Zheng Yingqi, who was already walking somewhat slowly, gritted his teeth and slowed down again after hearing these words, but Bai Tiejun, another newcomer in the third squad, went limp:

"Class...monitor...can't...run...anymore..."

Bai Tiejun, panting heavily, shouted. Shi Jin, who was behind him, sped up and grabbed Bai Tiejun, saying, "Run with me!"

With only 700 or 800 meters left, Zheng Yingqi still hadn't had diarrhea. Cheng Yongjun was getting anxious. He was still more than ten meters behind Zheng Yingqi. He thought he could easily overtake him in the last kilometer, but he was surprised to find that Zheng Yingqi was still pulling ahead. If Zheng Yingqi was lightly armed, Cheng Yongjun could accept it, but Zheng Yingqi was fully armed just like them.

"Rush!"

Cheng Yongjun roared and fought desperately. That's how the Steel Seventh Company is. They're not really fierce in words, but they prove their mettle on the training field. If you're not as good as others on the training field but you're still fierce in words, then you don't know what's important. How could Cheng Yongjun, who was determined to make Zheng Yingqi suffer, possibly accept that?

Cheng Yongjun caught up from behind. Zheng Yingqi's eyes turned red. He was extremely unwilling to admit defeat, so he gritted his teeth and ran as fast as he could.

The two men, one after the other, overtook several platoons running ahead. The veterans, seeing this, couldn't help but gasp and exclaim, "Holy crap... the Third Platoon... has gone mad..."

"Cheng...Crazy...Why...are you so fierce today?"

"Don't even mention...Cheng the Madman...that...new recruit...is really ruthless..."

The veterans exclaimed in surprise and gritted their teeth as they ran. This was probably the catfish effect – which of the veterans in the entire Seventh Company would want the new recruits to be defeated on their first day of the five-kilometer cross-country run?

They are the Steel Seventh Company, a force that always leaves others scrambling for their lives!

Zheng Yingqi ran more than 400 meters like a madman, but when there were more than 300 meters left, he finally couldn't run anymore. His legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and his lungs burned with every breath. But he refused to give up and continued to run for his life.

When the veterans saw that the guy had finally given up, they didn't dare to relax. There were only 300 meters left. If they let their guard down, they would collapse. They gritted their teeth and continued to run wildly, rushing towards the finish line.

The first soldier crossed the finish line, and Gao Cheng, right on time, looked utterly astonished.

"16 minutes and 17 seconds, breaking the company record!"

The previous record of the Steel Seventh Company was 16 minutes and 31 seconds, set by Wu Liuyi. Unexpectedly, today they improved by a full 14 seconds. Although it is still some distance from the legendary record, this improvement is still very impressive.

He felt a little regretful. If Wu Liuyi had just let go and ignored everything else, he wondered if his performance today would have been even better.

The soldiers sprinted back one after another, but these veterans, after returning, stood at the finish line and shouted to those behind them:

"Go for it! Charge!"

"One hundred meters to go! Charge!"

The people cheering them on were Zheng Yingqi, who was staggering a little over a hundred meters away. The veterans knew that Zheng Yingqi, who hadn't been progressing step by step, hadn't allocated his energy scientifically in the previous part of the race and was now at his limit. If he relaxed now, he wouldn't be able to finish the next hundred meters.

But how can a new recruit, carrying the same burden as them, not deserve encouragement for achieving such good results?

Even many veterans running in front of and behind Zheng Yingqi couldn't help but shout encouragement. Cheng Yongjun, who had overtaken Zheng Yingqi, also shouted encouragement. This soldier was arrogant, but he proved his worth with his five-kilometer performance. Cheng Yongjun was no longer angry; all he felt was deep surprise and admiration!

Zheng Yingqi was already a little dazed and felt like collapsing, but the cheers that suddenly came from his ears jolted him awake—100 meters, then… go!

Rush!

He gritted his teeth and ran. It was more like jogging than running, but even so, every step was incredibly difficult, like dancing on a knife's edge.

"come on!"

"Jung Young-ki! Keep it up!"

"Steel Seventh Company! Kill!"

The new recruits and veterans cheered, encouraging the newcomer who had amazed everyone on his first day. Some even shouted the slogan "Steel Seven-Kill Combo!" Seeing that Zheng Yingqi was already staggering and disoriented, Wu Liuyi caught up from behind, shouting, "Zheng Yingqi! Be a man! Charge!"

what! ! !

With a loud shout, Zheng Yingqi slammed a vicious punch into his own chest, then kicked his legs hard, forcibly increasing his speed.

At that moment, he flew across the finish line like a flying man.

At that moment, countless soldiers from the Seventh Company rushed over and helped up the figure who had collapsed into their arms.

"39 people!"

Looking at Zheng Yingqi's grades, Gao Cheng excitedly punched the clerk and then laughed triumphantly.
