Chapter 317: Leader’s Surprise, Breaking the Record

“Ready!”

After a minute, the ten people in front had already finished half a lap.

Now, Wang Ye and the other ten soldiers had also arrived at the starting point.

As the people beside him raised their signal guns, Wang Ye looked ahead and stopped being distracted.

“Bang!”

With a gunshot, Wang Ye immediately dashed out.

The current Wang Ye was already used to carrying more than 23 kilograms of weight.

Of course, he was not the only one and it was the same for the others.

It was hard not to get used to carrying so much when they trained this way every day.

However, habit and weight were not contradictory.

He quickly moved forward and entered the inner lane.

Wang Ye didn’t care about the others. After speeding up and entering a rhythm that he was most comfortable with, he covered his head and began to maintain the rhythm.

A minute later, Wang Ye could already see another ten people standing side by side at the starting line.

However, before Wang Ye could run over, a gunshot rang out, and they also started running.

“Come on, keep a good rhythm, okay?”

Outside the track, Wu Jian Feng began to run after Wang Ye when he came over on the second lap.

He didn’t have any weights, and he could rest when he was tired, so it didn’t matter if he ran with them.

Wang Ye didn’t say anything. He didn’t even look at him. His eyes were fixed in front of him, and the rhythm of his legs and even his breathing rate didn’t change.

However, after the first round, Wang Ye did not show any obvious advantage.

The main thing was that at the beginning, everyone was full of energy and their pace was not too slow.

However, after the second lap, it was obvious that some of them had begun to slow down.

Finally, at the beginning of the third round, Wang Ye overtook the first soldier of the fifth company.

Seeing Wang Ye running past them, the soldiers of the fifth company were not surprised.

Because occasionally as they were running, they would turn around and noticed where Wang Ye was while running. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When Wang Ye ran past him, he even panted and said, “Wang Ye, you can do it!”

“Heh… Ha… I will!”

Wang Ye smiled and gave him a little response.

Although they weren’t from the same company, they were from the same battalion.

After overtaking him, the soldiers of the 5th Company and 4th Company, who were one minute slower than Wang Ye, were overtaken by him one after another.

Only a few from the fifth company were slightly surprised when Wang Ye surpassed them.

Those from the fourth company didn’t even bother and did not have any thoughts on it.

They were used to it, and they even cheered for Wang Ye when he ran past them.

When Wang Ye was about to finish his fourth lap, he overtook all those who started a minute before him.

Moreover, at this point, Wang Ye was only 30 to 40 meters away from the last person who had started earlier than him.

Another lap ended. When Wang Ye was about to enter the sixth lap, he caught up to the heavy machine gun company that had started earlier than him.

When the soldier saw Wang Ye overtake him from the side, he clenched his fists tightly and didn’t say anything. However, his face was red from holding it in, and it was obvious that he was starting to speed up.

Unfortunately, he could only maintain that breath. After ten or twenty meters, he could not hold on any longer. When his speed slowed down, Wang Ye overtook him.

Of course, not everyone in the Cannon Company and Heavy Machine Gun Company had the same reaction as him.

When Wang Ye caught up with them one by one, some people were indifferent to Wang Ye’s overtaking.

However, there were also people who reacted extremely badly.

For example, when Wang Ye had just overtaken the first-class private of the Cannon Company, he immediately suppressed his anger and increased his speed to catch up with Wang Ye.

After that, he even turned around and smiled at Wang Ye.

Unfortunately, Wang Ye didn’t have much reaction to his current appearance and allowed him to laugh.

How could Wang Ye be stupid when Wu Jian Feng had already reminded him before he started running?

Wang Ye could imagine that if he disrupted the rhythm and accelerated, this fellow would fight him to the death.

He overtook him, and he overtook him again. In the end, both of them would not do well in this segment.

Perhaps under such circumstances, he wouldn’t be able to last long, but he could disrupt Wang Ye’s rhythm and increase his stamina consumption.

Wang Ye would not do such a stupid thing.

He would maintain this pace and see how long he could press ahead.

And reality proved that he really couldn’t last long enough.

As a man, in less than a minute, his feet began to slow down as if they were filled with lead. Then, gradually, he could only watch Wang Ye overtake him from the side with bloodshot eyes.

“Ah” An extremely unwilling voice came from behind.

However, the more he acted like this, the more powerless he became.

He had already reached his limit because he was holding back his strength and accelerating. Now that he was still shouting, he could no longer maintain his breath.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had overtaken Wang Ye by half a lap. His own results were at least 30 seconds above his usual training results.

He circled around again and again, but Wang Ye didn’t take the cannon company seriously.

From the beginning, the speed and rhythm had not changed at all. This made the division commander in the military tent unable to help but let out a sound.

“About ten laps. I don’t see Wang Ye’s speed decreasing at all. How long has it been?”

He asked the officer beside him.

When Wang Ye was running just now, he had asked him to check his watch.

“Reporting to the chief, Wang Ye is already on his tenth lap. In addition, his current result is 12 minutes and 41 seconds!”

“He’s a little abnormal. If he continues to maintain this, our division’s record will definitely be broken by him today!”A regiment commander couldn’t help but make a sound.

After saying that, he turned to look at Commander Hong, “Old Hong, tell us the truth. Don’t keep hiding it. Can Wang Ye break the record?”

“I don’t know!” Commander Hong’s voice sounded calm, but if one looked closely, one would notice that his hands were clenched tightly behind his back.

Regiment Commander Hong was very nervous now. He was even secretly cursing Wu Jian Feng, who occasionally left the game and followed Wang Ye outside the circle.

“Bastard, you lied to me and didn’t even tell me the truth!”

He had seen the latest statistics of the results of the company martial arts competition.

As Wang Ye was the focus of attention, he naturally wouldn’t miss it.

He could still clearly remember that Wang Ye’s five kilometers mark on the watch was 17 minutes and 46 seconds.

When he saw the results, he smiled very clearly.

This was because under normal circumstances, this result was enough to win the first place in the Commander level.

Five kilometers, 17 minutes, or even within 17 minutes might not sound like much, but you have to know that this was not bare-handed, nor was it light equipment. This was fully armed with a weight of more than 23 kilograms.

To be able to run within 18 minutes, it was definitely a rare existence.

In a group, it was already good enough for one person to run in.

The entire division’s record of five kilometers was only seventeen minutes and eight seconds.

Unexpectedly, there was actually such a big surprise here.

According to Wang Ye’s current performance, as long as he maintain this speed and not slow down, he would probably be able to run within 17 minutes.

If they really ran in, the record would naturally be broken.

Under such circumstances, how could he not be nervous?

This wasn’t just first place in a single event, it was a record.

At the moment, he was nervously looking at Wang Ye running on the screen. His fists were clenched tightly, and even his breathing had slowed down…

Good luck! Faster, faster…” He shouted in his heart.

At this moment, he couldn’t care less if anyone was thinking about Wang Ye.

Breaking the record was the most important thing.

Getting first place in a single event would only affect them for a while. At most, it would last until the next martial arts competition. As long as someone else got first place in this event, the limelight would be over.

However, it was different now that he had broken the record.

In the future, as long as Wang Ye’s record was not broken, all the subordinate troops would have to say who the record holder of this event was and which regiment he was from when they trained in this event.

What was this?

This was honor.

“You don’t know?” On the side, the other regiment commander had an obvious look of disbelief on his face. Even his division commander’s gaze turned over at this moment.

Regiment Commander Hong also noticed his division commander’s gaze, and then he shifted his gaze away from the screen.

“I really don’t know. The last time Wang Ye’s score was 17 minutes and 40 seconds, which is still far from breaking the record. However, it seems that he has exceeded his usual performance today!”

He didn’t say what he was thinking. Instead, he attributed Wang Ye’s performance today to his extraordinary performance.

Hmm, seventeen minutes and forty seconds is not bad!”

The division commander said and turned back.

Commander Hong shut his mouth and looked back at screen number eight.

On the track, Wang Ye still didn’t know that the entire division chief had been watching him during the competition.

He maintained his rhythm and breathing as he ran forward with his head covered.

Finally, after twelve laps, Wang Ye overtook another soldier from the fifth company.

Yes, this was the second time.

Of course, this wasn’t just two laps. They had started one minute slower than Wang Ye. Although Wang Ye had surpassed him twice, the first time was only half a lap.

But even so, it was still scary enough.

This was not the daily training of the army. There were good and bad soldiers in a company. This was the division headquarters competition!

After being overtaken by so many, the soldier from the fifth company could only run until he could not speak. Otherwise, he would definitely shout out.

“Just one lap, it’s the last lap.”

At the side, Wu Jian Feng panted and shouted.

He had been running since the second lap. Even though he was running barehanded, he was still panting.

However, he didn’t care about any of this.

He raised his hand and looked at the timer in his hand. He was very excited now.

He was only one lap away, but with Wang Ye’s current pace, breaking the record was already very stable.

Of course, he couldn’t drop the ball. If the pace slowed down a little, the record might be in danger.

Wang Ye ignored him. After running for so long, Wang Ye didn’t have the energy to care about him anymore.

He focused all his energy on stabilizing his breathing and running rhythm.

Running was like driving a car. The faster the speed, the higher the fuel consumption per second.

Even if Wang Ye’s physical strength was extraordinary, it was still a little too much for him to maintain his current speed and rhythm.

However, Wang Ye would definitely be able to hold on for the last lap.

Finally, when Wang Ye surpassed two of his comrades from the Fifth Company, he reached the finish line.

“16.58!”

With a loud roar, Wang Ye’s result was directly shouted out by the referee.

He broke the record!

Even the referee couldn’t help but feel excited.

Not to mention him, Kang Hua, who was waiting at the side, and the second battalion commander, who had heard the news and ran over, were shouting excitedly. They rushed into the track to help Wang Ye.

As for the other fellow who was running with Wang Ye outside the track, panting heavily, the two of them were not in the mood to care..
