A thousand meters … two thousand meters … three thousand meters … three thousand one hundred meters …
Jin Kui finally couldn't hold on any longer. His heavy footsteps began to slow down. The recruits behind him, who also had poor stamina, all began to laugh happily. The last place was finally going to appear.
"I'll do it!"
Du Peng's footsteps slowed down. Jin Kui thought for a moment before decisively jumping onto Du Peng's back. This action immediately stupefied the recruits behind him.
Was he crazy? Running while carrying him? Even the second to last place had appeared! The recruits following behind Du Peng looked at Du Peng, who still maintained a decent speed, with great shock.
The seasoned soldiers of Second Battalion were also shocked by Du Peng's actions. Even if one's inner quality was good, it was impossible to avoid a situation of last place while carrying Jin Kui.
After running for some distance, Du Peng's face was covered in beads of sweat, and his breathing began to turn a bit heavy. Qin Fen silently calculated the distance in his heart. If he took Du Peng now, he might not be able to avoid being last place, but if he didn't, Du Peng might not be able to hold on.
"I'll do it."
After a moment of thought, Qin Fen still took Jin Kui, and Du Peng's complexion immediately took a turn for the better. It wasn't an easy thing to run a long distance while carrying a person, let alone a race with someone else.
Squad Leader Hao laughed. A relay? Did these two really think of themselves as omnipotent super recruits?
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art instantly spread throughout his body, and Qin Fen increased his running speed after carrying Jin Kui on his back. The recruits following behind him were all dumbfounded.
Even if he was number one in swimming, wasn't it a bit too much to run the remaining distance while carrying a person?
The final five hundred meters … the final four hundred meters …
Qin Fen's speed had already begun to drop. Though he had pulled away from the recruits behind him, the final four hundred meters …
"I'll do it!"
Deng Biao, who had been tossed out by Qin Fen last time, suddenly spoke.
"You …"
"Give him to me!" Deng Biao raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "We're a team!"
After a brief moment of thought, Qin Fen simply handed Jin Kui over to Deng Biao. The other recruits of Second Squad followed closely by Deng Biao's side, "Liaozi! Just say it if you're tired! "
At this moment, the recruits who had been left behind finally understood that not only were the two strongest recruits in Class 2 carrying people, the others were also carrying people and sprinting!
The recruits came to their senses. They didn't care about the fatigue of their bodies. One by one, they strode to chase after Deng Biao.
Three hundred meters … two hundred meters … one hundred meters …
Plop …
Zhang Xiangyang, who had run into the recruit training camp with Jin Kui on his back, immediately laid on the ground. His violent panting revealed a burst of hearty laughter.
Sixth from the bottom! The result of two thousand recruits was a very bad number, but it was an extremely satisfying result!
Only Qin Fen and Du Peng were left standing in Second Squad, First Platoon, Third Company, Second Battalion. The two of them had their hands on their knees, and their chests were violently heaving up and down. Sweat flowed down their chins and noses, wetting the cement floor.
It was very tiring to carry a person for a long-distance assault. The degree of fatigue from running on the beach was far greater than that of running on concrete. This time, it was all thanks to Qin Fen's crazy exertion that they weren't last place.
"Very good, very good." Squad Leader Hao's smile revealed genuine happiness. "Although I'm suspected of cheating, I'm still very happy! Before you finish your meal, follow me to your barracks to rest. "
The recruit training camp was much larger than Qin Fen had imagined. Standing inside was like standing in the middle of an enormous ancient city. Streets, houses, and training grounds could be seen everywhere. Roars of steel could be heard coming from every training ground.
The Federation's recruitment of recruits wasn't held once a year. It was held once a month. Anyone who had reached the age to join the military could sign up at any time. Quite a few of the soldiers on the training grounds were recruits who had arrived a few months earlier than Qin Fen and Du Peng. Right now, they seemed to possess the temperament of seasoned soldiers when compared to the recruits who had just arrived.
Qin Fen and Du Peng listened to Squad Leader Hao's introduction as they made their way to the barracks. This was a large military camp that could accommodate fifty thousand people. There were a total of five military camps like this in Australia. There were also a few smaller military camps on the other islands. The total number of people totaled to nearly a million.
The barracks of recruit training camp were much larger than the barracks on the transport ship. Of course, the number of people living inside wasn't divided into squads, but rather companies. There were nearly eighty beds neatly arranged in this barracks, which was similar to a cargo hold.
This was the barracks that belonged to Third Company, Second Battalion. The other squads had finished running ahead of time, so they had long since found their own beds.
Qin Fen quickly found the bed that belonged to him according to his military card. All the daily necessities provided by the Federation were placed not too far away from the head of the bed.
All of the recruits of Second Squad, First Platoon, Third Company, Second Battalion practically fell onto their beds at the same time. Even Du Peng, who had always stood tall and straight, couldn't care less about the appearance of a soldier. He fell onto his bed as well.
Carrying Jin Kui on a relay run wasn't too difficult of a task, but carrying Jin Kui running at full speed was a completely different situation.
Qin Fen lay down for a while before dragging his exhausted body to sit up once more. There was still quite a bit of time before dinner time. There was still enough time for the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to circulate one cycle.
As a man, Qin Fen had an incomparable desire to become strong. It was just that he had no choice but to give up on a portion of his cultivation due to financial problems in the past. He did his best to conserve his physical strength in exchange for money to fill his stomach.
Now he suddenly didn't have to worry about food and clothing. The greatest burden in Qin Fen's heart disappeared. After seeing Squad Leader Hao's strength and hearing of his older brother's deeds, his desire to become strong grew even stronger. He immediately executed the cultivation method that the figure of light had once introduced him to.
The third stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art continued to circulate within his body, but it was still dry and rough. His fatigued body made it even more difficult to circulate the art. Soon, the sound of his drawn-out breathing rang within the barracks.
Du Peng, who was still lying on his bed, looked at Qin Fen in shock. He was the one in the squad who ran the fastest and the longest while carrying Jin Kui on his back. He should have been the most fatigued person, yet he actually began to cultivate once more!
Whoosh!
Du Peng suddenly sat up as well. Soon, he entered into a fatigued cultivation state just like Qin Fen.
The sound of their drawn-out breathing rose and fell endlessly within the barracks. The other recruits in the same squad looked at each other. In the end, they collectively sat cross-legged in silence. They began to cultivate just like the two.
Jin Kui looked at his seven other comrades, who all sat cross-legged. He whispered without end, "I just want to be a small businessman. I really don't want to become an outstanding soldier …."
