Chapter 12: Inexplicable Perseverance
A lap of 2,000 meters is a piece of cake for human beings whose physique is generally strengthened in the new era, even for teenagers. But the scary thing about Lin Yue's running training is that there is no limit to the number. Yes, you only have to run more than everyone else to not fall behind, the monitoring instruments on the edge of the field will record everyone's laps, and with the manual monitoring of the instructors on site, there will never be anyone who can cheat.
Running without a goal is a kind of psychological pressure for all students in running, because as long as you see people running around you, you may become one of the 100 people who are lagging behind if you can't run. As a proud son of heaven who has just entered the God of War Academy, no one wants to be left behind in the first training.
And some of the students who are very confident in their physical fitness are very active, because they noticed that the instructor said that the top 100 will be rewarded with extra points! Isn't it just running, and students who are confident that they are physically good have already regarded the reward as something in their pocket.
Hulala's 1,000 freshmen were running at different speeds on the playground, and Qiao Yu was in the middle of the team, running unhurriedly. In a long-distance running training that you don't know how far to run, if you want to win, then it is absolutely necessary to lead the way, because the leader tends to consume more physical strength, and only by maintaining his own rhythm can he make the physical energy be scientifically distributed, so as to insist on more laps.
In the first lap, everyone was relaxed, Qiao Yu adjusted his breathing and continued to follow the large army.
No one in the team was left behind.
In the second lap, the line did not stretch very long, but some students with poor physique had begun to gasp for breath.
Qiao Yu was still mixed in the middle of the team.
In the third lap, the fourth lap, and the fifth lap, which is the 10,000-meter level, finally some students began to fall behind, and of course they were still running. Falling behind does not mean failure or elimination, after all, the instructor said that failure is not enough to run. The stragglers began to slow down their pace, breathe at their own pace, and try to regain some energy.
"However, it is so naΓ―ve." Lin Yue stood at the edge of the playground and smiled slightly, "Now turn on the real-time speed measurement instrument!" Please note that if your speed falls below a certain level, you will be considered out of running, which means that you are a hundred places behind! As for what is this certain level? Failed students will tell you! Who wants to be kind enough to tell everyone what this minimum is? Run! Or! Make a contribution to everyone! β
As soon as Lin Yue's words fell, a speedometer stretched out from the ground on the edge of the field and surrounded the entire playground. The cadets who had just slowed down had to speed up immediately, at least to the same speed as the larger army, and no one wanted to be the first to lose.
"The quality of the students in this session is good, and the willpower is also worthy of praise, they are already in the sixth lap, and everyone has supported it, you must know that there are already students who can't run at this time in previous years." An instructor communicates with a colleague next to him.
"Ah, but I think there will be an eliminator soon, after all, the first batch of people who slowed down just now has already appeared, and it won't last long on willpower alone."
As soon as the instructor's words fell, a female cadet stumbled and fell to the ground, and the instructor next to her immediately stepped up and took her off the runway - she apparently didn't even have the strength to stand up on her own.
Then, like dominoes, after the first eliminator appeared, many students seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, at least I am not the first This kind of psychology lingers in their hearts, and then the whole person seems to be relieved and can no longer hold on, and more than 10 people have chosen to give up one after another.
Lap 10! 20,000 meters! The number of people who quit has reached 52, some people may wonder why these so-called elite students can't even hold on to 20,000 meters, you must know that the marathon on the ancient earth has been more than 40 kilometers, and the human beings in the new era are much higher than the ancient humans because of genetic optimization, how can there be a situation where 20,000 meters can't hold on. In fact, this is the obstacle that Lin Yue created before, that is, running below a certain speed is considered not to be running. After more than a dozen failures, all the trainees have become aware of this so-called minimum speed, which is almost 10 meters per second! You must know that the world-class record of the marathon during the Earth period is only 5.72 meters per second, and the students are almost running at twice the speed.
"Good run, rookies! You've been surprised by my expectations, and you haven't even made up the 100 defeat index yet, but it doesn't matter, your instructors have prepared a small gift for everyone, and they are on the sidelines, and they will give each of you a small gift right away. Lin Yue's voice came again, and it sounded like a demon's voice in the ears of the students.
Then all the students who were running received what Lin Yue called a "small gift" - a 50-kilogram weight bag. All the trainees were stopped by the instructors and forced to carry this heavy burden on their backs and then run again.
A normal person's weight is generally within 100 kilograms, and a weight of 50 kilograms means almost more than half of the weight! This was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the students who had already run 20,000 meters, and on the 21st lap, nearly half of the students fell one after another. 500 people!
Qiao Yu almost felt that he was going to die at this time, he was wheezing violently, his lungs were scorching, if he said that he would fall down in the next second, Qiao Yu would not be surprised at all, after all, he was only a civilian class before, and he had neither special training nor good material conditions to better optimize his body. Now Qiao Yu is basically running by his own willpower.
"Rookies! You guys have surprised me! I didn't expect you to be able to continue to persevere after bringing gifts, so I have good news for you now, the speed limit has been lifted, as long as you keep going, even if you run slower, you may become the final top 100! β
However, Qiao Yu had already ignored the instructor's shouting at this time, and he felt his eardrums suddenly ringing - it was the sound of blood flowing violently. His heart was pounding, and he couldn't figure out what his heart rate was, and he felt that his heart might pop out of his chest in the next second. He only knew that he was going to run, run, and never give up.
"I absolutely don't give up!" Qiao Yu seemed to have an illusion in front of his eyes, and the tragedy on the island of Sailenxing seemed to be reproduced in front of his eyes, as if he had seen the scene of his parents being shaken away by the shock wave.
"I'm going to be stronger! I'm going to be a Star Knight! Don't let this tragedy happen again! With this belief, Qiao Yu mechanically walked on the circular track with his heavy and trembling legs.
What he didn't know, however, was that in his lap by lap persistence, there were fewer and fewer people on the runway, 300, 150, 70, 30, 10.
In the end, he was the only one left on the entire runway!
Lin Yue was moved, Qiao Yu's speed was definitely not fast at this point, and from Lin Yue's eyes, this kid had already reached the limit of his body, according to his judgment, Qiao Yu should have been completely unable to run before 3 laps. The only thing that can break this judgment of the body is terrible willpower. Qiao Yu was definitely not the longest running student Lin Yue had ever seen, but he was definitely the one who persisted the longest after reaching the physical limit. This kind of inexplicable strong perseverance appeared in a freshman who had just entered the university, and Lin Yue had to be impressed.
"Let the medical room prepare the best repair solution to ensure that these students will not be injured by squeezing their physical potential. Let them send two medical staff to provide on-site medical support to ensure that there will be no problems with this trainee! I'm going to see where this kid's limits are. β
Qiao Yu was running, he was no longer uncomfortable, because he couldn't feel any of his organs, hot lungs? A beating heart? I don't feel it anymore. It was as if he felt that his physical strength had been squeezed into the swing of his legs. Then, gradually, his vision blurred, and his whole body seemed to sink, sink. In the end, Qiao Yu's eyes went dark and he fainted on the runway.
