Episode 1 Section 6 Forbidden Training (Part 1)
The disdain in Chen Yang's eyes disappeared, vanished without a trace. If Chen Yang's 400-meter hurdles were a passionate performance, then Little Li's 400 meters could only be described as murderous and domineering, with no elegant movements or that kind of airy feeling. The forward-charging momentum, accompanied by the pounding footsteps, actually had a heart-pounding feel to it.
Standard, every action is concise and without any unnecessary movements, it can be used as a textbook.
When Little Li returned to the finish line, Chen Yang looked at his stopwatch and saw 1 minute 28 seconds. The 400-meter dash was completed in just 1 minute 28 seconds. What a concept! An average warrior's 400-meter obstacle course result of 2 minutes 10 seconds is considered qualified, but 1 minute 28 seconds? This result really made everyone's jaw drop.
Chen Yang licked his tongue and looked at Little Li: "Let's do it again."
Xiao Li coldly said, "Forget it, it's too late today. If you want to come, tomorrow at 5:40, I'll be waiting for you at the camp entrance." After speaking, he ignored Chen Yang's ugly face and walked away. The surrounding soldiers all dispersed, and Chen Yang also returned to his barracks. What was unexpected was that after the soldiers watched Chen Yang and Xiao Li's competition, their 400-meter record soared... Of course, these are just idle words.
The next morning, Chen Yang appeared at the camp gate on time. Little Li, with a cold face, pointed to a military backpack on the ground: "Come on, let's do 5 kilometers today." Chen Yang was stunned. Last night, he had thought for a whole night, and frankly speaking, Little Li's 400-meter sprint had put great pressure on him. He was not one to admit defeat, so last night he had hardly slept, constantly thinking about the route of the 400-meter obstacle course and some things that needed attention. He had planned to make a comeback today, but unexpectedly, Comrade Little Li had changed his tactics and wanted to do 5 kilometers.
"Come on, then!" Chen Yang raised an eyebrow and reached out to pick up the backpack. The first feeling was that it was heavy! The second feeling was that it was very, very heavy. It was hard to imagine how such a small military backpack could be so heavy. Turning his head around, Chen Yang glanced at the backpack behind Little Li. Although he didn't say anything, Little Li still sensed what Chen Yang was thinking.
He took down the backpack behind him and handed it to Chen Yang with a cold face. Then he took over Chen Yang's backpack, looked at his watch and said, "You have one minute to prepare, hurry up, we'll start in one minute."
Tightening his backpack, Chen Yang's mind was muttering nonstop. He wasn't sure of the weight of the backpack, but based on feeling alone, this backpack seemed to be even heavier than when he wore a full set of armor, conservatively estimated to be at least over thirty kilograms. However, he couldn't think about it anymore, one minute had already passed.
"Go!" Little Li rushed out first. Chen Yang followed closely behind, and not far from the camp gate, Little Li suddenly made a gesture and ran up another road. Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat as he was very familiar with this road - it was not only rugged but also hidden in the tall grass, and to make matters worse, it led directly to the mountains!
Although he was a little nervous, Chen Yang didn't think he would lose because in this project, although he couldn't say that he came first every time, at least in the team there were very few people who could beat him. He stabilized his breathing rhythm and ran forward with an unusually steady speed. It wasn't until small Li made a gesture again in front of him, completely changing direction, that Chen Yang finally felt pressure in his heart.
The mountain road became increasingly rugged, with thistles and thorns mixed in the grass on both sides that made people tremble with fear. Some mischievous thorns would sneak into his uniform and make intimate contact with Chen Yang's skin. Chen Yang could only endure! Because the little Li in front of him seemed to be completely unaware of the power of the thorns.
Passing through a small mountain pass, Chen Yang saw a narrow and long valley in front of him. The soil erosion in this valley was particularly severe, with bare rock everywhere. The slope was almost perfectly 45 degrees, except for a platform in the center of the valley that could be seen by looking up. What surprised Chen Yang even more was that on the semi-central platform of the mountain pass, there were some giant stones that seemed to have been processed halfway, and under the stone platform, the entire mountain pass was filled with fist-sized gravel.
For a moment, Chen Yang was stunned and then suddenly woke up by the rustling sound. Xiao Li had already started climbing upwards in the mountain valley paved with gravel using his hands and feet. The gravel that Xiao Li kicked down seemed like bouncing ping-pong balls, even the best athlete would find it hard to predict where they would land.
"Damn it!" Chen Yang cursed loudly and chased after him without hesitation. It was clear that Little Li had chosen this path with ulterior motives. Think about it, a slope of over 45 degrees, covered in gravel and thorns, with cacti poking out from the gaps between the rocks. As drought-resistant plants, they dominated this mountain valley, and anyone who wanted to pass through would have to endure their "baptism" first.
With the shape of the road, all the way with hands and feet, Chen Yang rushed upwards fiercely, but at this time, another incompatibility appeared, that is, the strap of the backpack. Originally, Chen Yang adjusted the strap of the backpack to a comfortable tightness, running was very comfortable, but this hand-foot alternating mountain climbing posture, plus the continuous slipping underfoot, the backpack began to get naughty, constantly colliding with Chen Yang's back.
The test is no longer just physical strength and endurance, but more of willpower. Although Chen Yang's brain kept shouting: "Stop! Stop and fix your backpack!" He knew that once he stopped on this slope full of gravel, the time he lost would be more than one minute, two minutes.
Biting his teeth, he rushed up to the stone platform halfway up the mountain valley. Chen Yang didn't care where Xiao Li had rushed to and quickly adjusted his backpack. When he was ready to continue again, he was truly stunned!
