Chapter 61: Devil Mentor
Although the price offered by Zhang Shaocheng was very tempting, Qin Ge did not carry the Mind Cube with him, so the actual transaction would have to wait until after the afternoon class.
So while the three were talking, Maryland, the instructor of the combat physical fitness class, appeared on the training ground.
"The devil mentor is here. I will retreat first. We will meet in the construction hall at 6 pm." When Zhang Shaocheng saw Maryland appear, he quickly turned around and ran, saying to Qin Ge and Li Chenming while running.
"Huh? Is it that scary?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully.
"When you finish the class, you will understand what a devil mentor is!" Seeing Qin Ge's puzzled expression, Zhang Shaocheng, who had already run away, said to him.
So, Qin Ge and Li Chenming immediately understood what a devil mentor was.
"What are you doing here? A meeting? Why don't you line up?"
With Maryland's shout, everyone immediately moved and formed a long line.
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Maryland, and I am a battleship of the White Eagle, one of the Big Seven. From today on, I will be your instructor for combat and physical training. I will use this year to train you into a true soldier."
After seeing everyone lined up, Maryland spoke to them, his tone full of pride.
"But every team has a leader. I can't be your leader, so today's first class is also an assessment, survival of the fittest. First, run 10 kilometers around the entire training ground. The first person to finish will be the leader. Do you have any objections?"
"No!"
A group of new commanders shouted.
"Very good. A man should not say he is incompetent, especially a commander!" Maryland nodded and pointed in the direction of the training ground. "10 kilometers, start now."
As soon as these words came out, all the new commanders rushed out at once. But Qin Ge did not rush to the front like them.
He has run 10 kilometers countless times. Long-distance running like this tests endurance and willpower, not speed.
You must follow your own rhythm and adjust your breathing before you can enter the real state.
But even though Qin Ge was adjusting his breathing and pace, he did not fall too far behind the vanguard. After all, the daily morning and evening exercises gave him a strong physique.
After running 1 kilometer, the fastest people in the vanguard gradually slowed down, but Qin Ge still started to overtake at his own pace.
Breathe… breathe… breathe… breathe…
The method of regulating the pace by breathing was the first method his instructor taught them when they were in physical education class . After learning this method, even a person who has never run long distances can run 3 kilometers or even 5 kilometers relatively easily.
One, two, three, gradually, the people in front of Qin Ge fell behind him one by one. It was not that he sped up, but that their speed slowed down.
When he ran more than 2 kilometers, Qin Ge had already reached the first place, so he adjusted his breathing and gradually quickened his pace.
3 kilometers, 4 kilometers, 5 kilometers... When he ran to Maryland again, he had already run 5 kilometers.
At this time, others were still wandering between 3 kilometers and 4 kilometers, and some even had not finished 3 kilometers.
But what greeted Qin Ge was not Maryland's praise, but a rebuke, "Qin Ge, run faster. If you run so slowly, can you avoid the Siren's shells? Charge up, run faster!"
Qin Ge was sweating profusely. He had never thought that he could outrun a cannonball... Although he said so, he still couldn't help but speed up.
When Qin Ge ran past Maryland , Maryland nodded. Then she opened her mouth and turned to face the commanders who were running desperately.
There was a flash of blue light, and a ship uniform appeared on Maryland's body. The muzzle of the anti-aircraft gun gradually lowered, pointing at the side of the commander who was running at the end.
“Pah pah pah pah pah…”
When the familiar sound of anti-aircraft guns rang out, everyone in the entire training ground stopped, including Qin Ge who had already started running the second lap.
Because each of them saw a series of smoke and dust rising up behind the last commander, sticking tightly to his back, which looked so thrilling.
"Did I ask you to stop? Ah!
I tell you, there is a death target in every training, especially in my class. If you don't run fast, then my anti-aircraft bullets don't recognize people. If they hit you, it won't be the same as a pistol bullet, but your people will be scattered directly, understand?"
Maryland shouted and pointed at his anti-aircraft gun, and the last new commander quickly sped up and ran forward with all his might.
"It seems you still have the strength to run fast, run faster!"
As Maryland spoke, he used his anti-aircraft gun, occasionally firing a few shots at the ground behind the last commander.
This feeling of death made the lagging commanders speed up.
When they asked the second-year students before, whenever they mentioned the combat physical training class, their common reaction was to shudder. But now these new commanders finally understood what that shudder meant.
When Qin Ge saw this, he couldn't help but think of the special forces training before. This kind of gun training is also popular in the army, because the sound of gunfire can easily stimulate everyone's mentality, especially the bullet holes behind them.
Even though people know that the bullets will not hit them, they still have a feeling of fear, fear that the bullets will hit them, so they can't help but speed up and surpass themselves.
When he thought of this, Qin Ge sped up again. He had to stimulate himself and push himself to go one step further.
Finally, Qin Ge came to Maryland for the second time. He had finished his 10 kilometers. Although his breathing was short, he did not stop. Instead, he continued to step on the spot, adjusting his breathing and the rhythm of his heartbeat.
Maryland looked at Qin Ge's performance and couldn't help but smiled and nodded. But then, when she turned around and looked at the commanders who were left behind, this smile of praise turned into a cruel sneer.
“Pah pah pah pah pah…”
The sound of anti-aircraft guns rang out again on the training ground, along with Maryland's shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up, are you still a man? Hurry up!"
