Chapter 118: Keep up

There were more than a dozen boys, and it was inevitable that some of them would snore, but because they were indeed mentally tired, everyone quickly fell asleep and was not affected much.

Except, of course, one person, but since he can overcome an environment like the Yanggu County Prison, it is even less at the moment.

Although he was asleep, he still felt someone push the door in the middle a few times, and he didn't feel the danger, so he ignored it.

"Woohoo!"

In the end, I was woken up by a shrill whistle, but I still felt refreshed after waking up.

Li Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh that sleep is indeed the most effective way to restore the body's energy.

"Now that you're rested, let's start training, and I don't want to hear anyone say they're tired."

It's only been half a day since I first arrived here, but everyone has already begun to accept this state, not to mention that I slept for nearly an hour just now, so no one will have the idea of backing down from the next training.

However, the next sentence that Instructor Wang said made them feel a little speechless.

"First of all, warm up, the squad leader led everyone to run twenty laps around the field."

Twenty laps is not as simple as counting twenty numbers.

The current field of the Awakened Campus is only more than thirty meters wide, but the length is close to two hundred meters, which is longer than the standard running track of the playground in one lap.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was indeed a little scary, not to mention that the instructor also said that this was just a warm-up, so ......

But without much time to think about it, their squad leader had already taken the lead in running out.

Then came the pretty Bai Na, and then the people behind her followed in turn.

The instructor did not separate men and women, as if gender could not be treated differently by him, nor did he let Li Zhengyi deliberately slow down in order to take care of anyone.

Even after they ran out, they instructed: "Squad leader, you have a good grasp of the time, and if anyone exceeds half an hour, add another ten laps." ”

……

As soon as they ran out, a heavy burden was added to everyone's hearts.

It's true that they're the Awakened, but it's only been a few days, right? How much can physical fitness be improved?

What's more, I was busy studying before, and I usually ran three or four thousand meters at most.

Now the distance of nearly 10,000 meters in these 20 laps is actually required to be completed by all the people in half an hour.

Just take them for what? Livestock?

Li Zhengyi also felt a little speechless, not that there was anything wrong with this length for him.

It's just that the instructor asked him to grasp the time, but he didn't give him a watch or anything to compare, did he let him judge the time by looking at the sun in the sky?

Isn't that embarrassing?

He wasn't running fast, but after hearing the instructor's request, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

But he was afraid that once he ran too fast, some of his classmates behind him would not be able to stand it.

So after thinking about it, he said to Bai Na, who was following him: "I'm going to increase my speed a little, if you feel struggling, you can remind me."

Bai Na's beautiful eyes as beautiful as black jewels were full of determination, and she replied to Li Zhengyi with ruddy lips: "Well, okay~"

Hearing the affirmative answer, Li Zhengyi turned his head to look at the dense trees at the end of the field, and after taking a light breath, the stride under his feet increased, and the speed also increased.

The refreshing air flow passed through his temples, and after running, Li Zhengyi could clearly feel that his body was a little excited, perhaps being active is the characteristic of all young bodies.

Anyway, he felt like that, and it was quite comfortable.

"You... Can you... Yes... Slow down..."

But just a few laps later, Bai Na's panting voice came from behind him.

Am I fast?

Li Zhengyi felt that he was not running very fast, but when he turned his head, he saw two flushes rising on Bai Na's porcelain doll-like face.

There was also some fine sweat on his sideburns, sticking a few strands of jet-black hair to his skin, and his rosy lips had some hair stems, panting slightly.

“… Slow... A little... bar..."

Seeing Li Zhengyi turn his head, Bai Na reiterated what she had just said again.

He could also see that his speed was indeed a little faster than others, even if it had deliberately slowed down a lot.

Li Zhengyi noticed that at the back of the team, there were even many people who ran harder than Bai Mana.

The queue, which was neat before, has now become messy and much longer.

Noticing the undulating chest of the person behind him, Li Zhengyi still slowed down his speed.

While turning around and continuing to run, he also opened his mouth to remind the people behind him.

"Pay attention to the rhythm, increase the length of your stride, raise your head and chest, and don't mess up your breathing."

"Do it with me, exhale ~ inhale ~ exhale ~ inhale ~"

Under Li Zhengyi's deceleration control, the people behind him eased up a little, and they were able to keep up with the pace for the time being.

But after only a few laps, Li Zhengyi estimates that at least half of them will not be able to complete on time.

He had no choice but to try to take care of everyone's state while not letting the speed be too slow.

But it didn't take long for Li Zhengyi to hear Bai Na's breathing behind him become heavy and messy.

When I turned my head again, the whole team was really stretched irregularly again.

So he had to slow down his pace again to accommodate those behind him.

"Watch the rhythm, keep up with my breathing, come ......"

Although he said this, he didn't pay attention to whether the people behind him could keep up with the rhythm.

Now that we talk about this, it is more of an encouragement.

Under the golden sun, every young face was gradually covered with sweat. But either afraid or strong, no one gave up easily.

"Fifteen minutes!"

After a few more moments, the instructor next to them shouted at them, and it was fifteen minutes in time.

Fifteen minutes have passed?

No, fifteen minutes must have passed so quickly.

In terms of physical fatigue, they feel as if they have been running for a long time.

But on second thought, it's only been less than 12 laps now, so can you complete the task of 20 laps in the remaining time?

Although there are only eight laps left, there is still half the time left.

But even if they judged it for themselves, they knew it was going to be a lot tougher than the previous 12 laps.

What to do?

Even with Li Zhengyi leading the way in front, many people behind him can't keep up with him now.

As the vanguard, he was in a hurry more than everyone else.

Or it can be said that he is entangled, he is entangled in slowing down a little more and taking care of everyone, even if everyone can't complete the task.

Or speed up again, and take a small number of people to meet the requirement of running 20 laps in half an hour.

And I've had already slowed down a few times before, and even if I maintain my current pace, I won't be able to complete eight laps in 15 minutes.

What is the trade-off?
