Even if she was lightly equipped, the five-kilometer distance was still too long for Gu Xiyan. Before she had even covered half the distance, she was already panting heavily.

  "Xian, you can slow down, but don't stop, or else we'll fall behind the main troops." Li Leiting's condition was much better than Gu Xian's, she held onto Gu Xian's hand and supported her as they ran forward.

  "Letty, I'm fine, you go first." Seeing one by one female soldier surpassing them and continuing to move forward, Gu Xiyan lightly pushed Letty's hand, indicating her to let go of herself.

  After being repeatedly rejected by Gu Xiyuan, Li Leting finally left with a worried heart. Gu Xiyuan took a short rest and then accelerated again to continue running.

  The morning wind blew her cheeks sore, and her ears were even more frozen in pain. Her feet were numb, and when Gu Xiyan ran to the back, her body was already out of control, with only the "run" slogan in her heart constantly driving her on.

  Gradually pulling away from the people in front, Gu Xiyan didn't know the way and could only stare tightly at the direction the group was moving.

  Unexpectedly, her physical condition was so poor, Gu Xiyan smiled bitterly.

  "Come on, come on, you're almost there, run!" Her speed was getting slower and slower, every cell in her body was screaming to stop. But the sudden encouragement from the front made her instantly abandon the idea of stopping.

  "Xian, jiayou......"

  Translation: "Good luck, add oil......"

  "Xiǎo Yuān, there are still 200 meters left, go for it..."

  "There's still time, Xiǎo Yán, you've got one more minute, you can make it..."

  "Xiǎo Yán, we're all waiting for you..."

  “……”

  Gu Xiyan heard it, her roommates' voices, gathering into a piece on the high ground not far away.

  Even if her legs were aching unbearably, even if her chest was heaving violently from the long-distance running, even if her whole body was soft and weak, Gu Xiuyan was infected by her roommates' emotions, and in her heart suddenly emerged boundless heroic spirit - Good daughter, should also have iron bones!

  Her eyes locked onto her destination, Gu Xiyan psyched herself up, just two more steps, just two more steps...

  In the last twenty meters, Gu Xiyan raised her head and sprinted forward with a burst of energy.

  As soon as she arrived at the destination, Gu Xiyan could no longer support her own body and was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, someone quickly came to her aid and held her up, preventing her from falling.

  Gu Xiyan's face was very pale at this moment, and even her lips were light white. She licked her lips with difficulty and uttered a barely audible "thank you". Looking at the two people who supported herself, one of them was Li Leting, and the other... He Zhuan.

  The instructor gave us a three-minute break, "Everyone has it, assemble."

  All female soldiers quickly returned to their positions. Gu Xiyan rested for a while and regained some strength, standing upright in her own position.

  "With a unified command... Attention!" The whole female battalion was once again in a state of strict military discipline, with an aura of majesty and grandeur.

  "Now announcing the results of this training session, the fastest time is 17 minutes and 11 seconds... Li Jie 17 minutes and 45 seconds... Lai Leting 18 minutes and 27 seconds... Finally, Gu Xiyan 21 minutes and 5 seconds. Out of the 49 people who participated in the training, only one person failed to meet the standard. After the morning training session ended, Gu Xiyan was punished with 50 frog jumps, and she wasn't allowed to eat lunch until she finished jumping."

  At noon when the female soldiers went to have lunch, Gu Xiyan was still jumping up and down on the playground. Although it was a cold winter day, her forehead was covered with sweat.

  "36, 37, 38......" Gu Xiyan counted as she jumped each time.

  Deng Qing leaned against the railing on one side, her expression calm and indifferent.

  After completing 50 qualified frog jumps, Gu Xiyan wanted to stand up, but her legs were out of control and fell down. Under helplessness, she had to sit on the ground and rub her knee joint first.

  Deng Qing walked step by step towards Gu Xiyan, until she stood still in front of her: "You know, I've already lowered my expectations for you?"

  Gu Xiyan was stunned.

  "Zhou Lianchang said you're just here to temper yourself, not to be a soldier, but I'm telling you, since you've come here, no one will play tricks on you. I slightly lowered my expectations of you, but I still hope you can keep up with the other female soldiers, don't be the one who falls behind." Deng Qing handed her hand over to Gu Xiyan and pulled her up.

  "Yes, instructor, I will do my best." Gu Xiyan saluted, her eyes calm and determined.

  "Let's go eat, we still have training this afternoon."

  "It's the instructor." Gu Xiyan's legs were still heavy, but she still ran with her legs lifted. After a few steps, she suddenly turned around and shouted: "Instructor, I will work hard to prove that I am not worse than others."

  Deng Qing nodded at Gu Xiyan with a slight curve of her lips.

  After Gu Xiyan left, Deng Qing took out the mobile phone from her military uniform and dialed: "Zhou Yue, that new female soldier has quite a backbone."

  "Hey, is that so? That's an introduction from the captain, don't get me killed!" The person on the other end of the phone laughed.

  "Her performance is much better than the other female soldiers when they first came in, such a good seedling, if not well cultivated, it's a pity!" Deng Qing walked towards the dormitory while thinking to herself.

  "De, Qingzi, it was clearly stated that she is only here for a short period of training and will leave eventually. You should focus your attention on other female soldiers instead. I recall that there are several outstanding ones among the female soldiers, like that one named He something."

  "He Jiao is pretty good, I heard her sister is from some special forces unit..."

  ==

  "Deputy commander, the chief has arrived." In the office of the special forces in Beijing, a dark-skinned soldier wearing winter uniform was respectfully reporting to a woman.

  "Alright, I'll go pick up the commander. You go down and train first." The woman said, got up neatly, put on her military cap, and strode out with a brisk pace.

  At this time, it was afternoon when the woman found the so-called leader. The leader was watching the training of the soldiers below, and behind the leader, a man with a cold expression pursed his lips without speaking.

  The man's strong presence made the woman look at him several times. The afternoon sun was not intense, and the soft sunlight set off the man's elegant demeanor. He had a extremely handsome face, his deep eyes made people unable to see through, straight nose bridge, thin lips, and a resolute chin that added a few points of elegance to him. From the appearance, this man's figure must also be extremely perfect.

  If it were just a pretty face... The woman stepped forward and said politely: "Commander, you've arrived."

  Good looks, but useless inside!

  The commander seemed quite satisfied with the soldiers' training. Upon hearing someone call out to him, he turned around and laughed: "Ah, Little He has arrived."

  "What does the commander think of these soldiers?" The woman stood beside the commander, her eyes scanning down to the training ground below where those soldiers she had trained were.

  "I think it's pretty good, Xiao He is quite skilled! Eh, look at that big black guy over there, his sturdy hands and feet are actually agile." The captain was praising the person who had just reported to the woman that the captain had arrived.

  The woman just smiled slightly: "Commander is overpraising him, I think he still has room for improvement."

  "Haha, Xiao Hei, I like your temperament, neither arrogant nor impatient." The leader observed for a while before going down, the other two following behind.

  The three arrived at the training ground, and with a few orders from the woman, the soldiers quickly formed up.

  "We have everything ready, welcome to inspect." The woman's voice was loud and rhythmic.

  "Good morning, sir." Hundreds of special forces troops responded in unison.

  "Comrades, good! Comrades, you have worked hard!" The leader's response was also loud and clear.

  "Serve the People." Special Forces are powerful!

  "Xiao Qi, look at these special forces," the chief asked the man beside him. The woman saw this and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

  "Training is far from enough and needs to be strengthened." The man's eyes didn't have a single ripple, as if he was saying something extremely normal.

  "Xiao Qi is still the same as ever." The captain patted the man's shoulder, a hint of smile in his eyes.

  "Good boss." Just as the boss was about to say something else, a thick male voice rang out.

  "Xunzi? How did you come here? Looking at you like this, it doesn't seem like you're here to see me." Director Xue Yuanming said discontentedly.

  "Reporting to the superior, I was rash and made a mistake. Please punish me, sir." Xunzi admitted his fault fluently.

  "Pay attention to the influence, you can take Xiaoxi out for a walk and let him get familiar with the environment first." After instructing Xunzi, the leader was about to bid farewell.

  The woman couldn't make out the leader's attitude towards those two men, so she temporarily ignored them and hurried to follow up and send off the leader.

  "Xiao Hei, Xiao Qi will take over my position in a few days. You and Xunzi must assist him well." The leader instructed the woman before getting on the car.

  "Yes, sir." She didn't ask why; she knew that in a military camp, obedience was always the rule.
