Chapter 42: The Game Is Over
When he went back, Li Qing began to look for shoes in Meisha's room, but there was no such thing as running shoes on this planet.
Everyone wears shoes that fit the foot perfectly, cloth or leather, not to mention the single shape, but also very thin.
Running in shoes like this, the soles of your feet are definitely going to wear out.
Fortunately, the old man's family is not an ordinary family, and Meila saw that Li Qing could not find suitable shoes, so she took the initiative to find his family's shoemaker.
After listening to Li Qing's request, this skilled shoemaker made five pairs of shoes for the five of them in one night, which can be regarded as shoes that can be worn for running.
At least the soles are padded with a soft sandwich, and they are also designed to protect the ankle-supporting parts, which are more comfortable to wear and lightweight.
Li Qing put on shoes and light clothes and prepared to go.
Li Qing brought another backpack, nominally containing some emergency medicine, but in fact it was so that he could bring a gun in case of emergency.
The route starts on the main road in front of the gate of the guarded ruins, and they need to pass through the city and then run to the market on the outskirts.
In the city, on both sides of the road, at intervals, there are guards of the ruins to maintain order, because there are many spectators.
The supporters of both teams went their separate ways to cheer for their camps.
The starting gun sounds, and the competition begins!
The more rushing teams rushed out quickly, and their arrows flew like flies, and soon, they ran away.
Li Qing is not in a hurry, he knows that the main thing in long-distance running is endurance, especially in the early stage, blind acceleration will consume the energy in the body, so it is difficult to maintain speed.
Li Qing kept his breath like this, and ran up without being fast or slow.
Xiao Wang led in front, Chi Chu was beside him, and Mei La and Uncle Chi were left behind.
For the two of them, Li Qing didn't have much hope, it was best to insist on running the best, if not, it didn't matter if he quit.
In the crowd, the master sent his men to follow along the way, and if they were unwell, they would immediately send them home to rest.
In the past, when he was on Earth, in order to ensure that he had sufficient physical strength during the competition, physical training was also what Li Qing had to do every day, and running was the most basic training item.
Every year in the winter long-distance run held by the school, Li Qing can get the top few in his grade.
When he came to Muying Planet, although he has never had the opportunity to exercise, he is full of dangers here, and he is burdened with heavy burdens, with these, Li Qing is working hard every day as if he has been beaten with chicken blood, and he still needs to exercise?
As time passed, Li Qing and the others slowly ran out of the city, and the crowd of onlookers became smaller and smaller.
Xiao Wang's speed has not decreased, and he is still in front of Li Qing. Mera and Uncle Chi behind him have long since disappeared.
Chi Chu was more worried about his father, and he deliberately slowed down and fell behind.
Gradually, Li Qing became a little tired.
It was close to noon now, and the dim sun was hanging overhead, although it was not hot, but because Li Qing was already sweating profusely, and he was roasted all the way by this warm sun, he was a little dizzy.
He slowed down slightly, took water out of his backpack, took a few sips, and poured some more on top of his head, which made him feel better.
Xiao Wang in front of him also looked a little exhausted, Li Qing signaled that he could slow down, who knew that he said, the more they rushed in front, and they immediately caught up.
Li Qing didn't want to catch up with them at all, everyone was running, what could they do if they caught up? Is it difficult to chat?
But the other party may not think so, Yue Chong should have slowed down and was waiting for Li Qing.
The road was narrow, and on an uphill path, the two teams met.
When he got closer, Li Qing realized that the other party was not deliberately slow at all, but one of the strongest team members, and he had injured his foot.
One foot was already bloodied, the shoe was torn, and the other was hovering on the edge of tattered.
"Hurry up and run!" Yue Chong urged in front.
Two members of the team drove the wounded one and held on at his urging.
Li Qing saw that Yue Chong's feet were about to die, and the soles of his shoes were all slag, and it was estimated that he would not last long. He signaled to Xiao Wang that he could speed up and overtake.
Any overtake on the track is exciting, even if it's overtaking these five wounded.
"Li Qing, you wait for me, I'll catch up with you right away!" Behind him, he shouted angrily.
Li Qing was finally in a better mood, and his head was not dizzy, if Yue Chong wanted to retaliate against him like this, I am afraid that he would not be able to get what he wanted.
After noon, after running for nearly an hour, the market in the distance finally came into view.
The finish line hanging high is just around the corner.
Li Qing and Xiao Wang gradually increased their speed, but there was no need to worry, there were only a few small black dots left behind the Yue Chong team.
There was a burst of cheers, Xiao Wang won the first place, and Li Qing won the second place.
After finishing the run, Li Qing found a place away from the crowd to trim while waiting for Chi Chu and Mera.
After a while, Yue Chong and they also arrived, and they won the third place to the seventh place.
So far, the final result has been calculated, and the host enthusiastically announced: the team that rushes more wins!
Li Qing shook his head helplessly, there is nothing wrong with this competition, this competition depends on the team ranking, three of them are the bottom three, even if they win the top two, they will lose.
However, he was not happy when he saw Yue Chong, after all, he had surpassed him, and that was enough.
The next project is a construction competition, which requires teams to build a wooden house in two days and have a sum of energy coins that can be used to buy materials.
After assigning the task, the crowd gradually dispersed, Li Qing took the task introduction book, drove Xiao Wang back, and looked for the three people along the way.
Ten minutes later, Meila, Chi Chu, and Uncle Chi appeared.
Meila was basically walking, and Chi Chu was already tired with Uncle Chi on her back.
Seeing such a teammate, Li Qing couldn't help laughing.
"Get in the car, it's over." Li Qing drove up to them and shouted.
"What? We're not there yet! Chi Chu blushed and said puzzled.
"It's over, even though we got the top two, but the result is more than they win." Xiao Wang said unwillingly in the back seat.
"Huh?" The three of them spoke in unison, and they couldn't believe it.
"Okay, get in the car, go back and get some rest." Li Qing urged again, and the three of them got into the car.
Meila and Uncle Chi apologized again and again along the way, blaming themselves for dragging their feet.
In fact, they can't be blamed, this project is not fair, Li Qing thought that in fact, along the way, Yue Chong didn't ask them for trouble, and he was injured, which was already the best result.
"We will definitely win the next project," Uncle Chi looked at the task introduction in the car and said confidently, "When I was young, I was a famous carpenter, haha." ”
