259: Xiao Niannian was four seconds faster than the school's record.
The Reconnaissance Battalion's Battalion Commander and Political Instructor were so good; no wonder they could lead such impressive Soldiers.
Lu Jing, Military Doctor Shen, and the other instructors were also brought large steamed buns and cold noodles by the Reconnaissance Battalion's Soldiers.
"Captain Lu, Military Doctor Shen, thank you for your hard work these past few days of instruction... please try some..."
Military Doctor Shen was overjoyed to hear this.
"Just in time, I'm hungry."
Lu Jing also smiled and nodded.
"Okay, thank you."
The First Team's Soldiers also cheered.
"Great!"
"Hahahaha."
After the Reconnaissance Battalion's Team Members finished eating, they all returned to their dorms to rest.
After waking up from a nap, Xiao Niannian heard the reveille and quickly got up to wash.
Today, in addition to the 400-meter obstacle course, there was also a team competition.
They, the Reconnaissance Battalion, were determined to win first place in this team competition.
The team competition included an engineer specialization test, for which she, Squad Leader Li, and Company Commander Yun could definitely take first place.
For the cross-country march, they would absolutely be first.
For the other few subjects, her comrades-in-arms also performed very well.
Xu Yang watched as the Reconnaissance Battalion's people crowded around Xiao Niannian and walked over, his brows furrowing.
After yesterday's competition, the Regimental Commander organized a speech for them. Although it was encouraging, he could hear the Regimental Commander's dissatisfaction.
The Regimental Commanders of the other regiments were also like this.
Only the Reconnaissance Battalion's Battalion Commander and Political Instructor were extremely happy.
After the 400-meter obstacle race began, the other participating Team Members went first. Xiao Niannian watched their speed and calculated the time in her mind.
After watching the results of more than a dozen people, Xiao Niannian shook her head.
The speed of these participating Team Members could only be described as average.
After Xu Yang finished his race, he was overjoyed when he heard his results.
He had broken the Division Headquarters' record.
He was sure to take first place in this 400-meter obstacle course.
Xu Yang looked not far away; Xiao Niannian was already standing there, ready.
He had also inquired about Xiao Niannian's results; they were good, but still a few seconds slower than his record.
"Company Commander Xu, you broke the Division Headquarters' record, you're truly amazing."
"Congratulations, Company Commander Xu, you definitely won first place this time."
Xiao Niannian shot out like a cannonball.
The watching Soldiers cheered and encouraged her when they saw her movements.
"Go, Comrade Xiao!"
"Comrade Xiao is so fast!"
"Comrade Xiao is truly amazing!"
"Comrade Xiao, first place!"
Xu Yang looked at Xiao Niannian's speed, his face a bit grim, but he still felt that Xiao Niannian's speed wasn't as fast as his.
He stared intently at Xiao Niannian, hoping to see her make a mistake, but throughout the entire course, Xiao Niannian kept accelerating and did not slow down.
"Oh..."
"She won."
Seeing Xiao Niannian rush to the finish line, Xu Yang's heart grew tense.
What kind of result would Xiao Niannian have?
His one minute and thirty-two seconds had broken the Division Headquarters' record and was already several seconds faster than others.
Xiao Niannian couldn't possibly run under one minute and thirty seconds, so he was definitely first in this event.
Xiao Niannian might be second place.
There were still some people who hadn't finished competing, so perhaps Xiao Niannian would only get third, or even fourth or fifth place.
Xu Yang laughed, a triumphant smile on his face.
Xiao Niannian already knew her result: one minute and twenty-eight seconds, four seconds faster than Xu Yang.
This result was excellent for an ordinary Military Unit, but not particularly good for the Special Forces Brigade.
She had already seen Xu Yang's triumphant smile just now; he was laughing happily now, but later... Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen stood not far away.
Military Doctor Shen looked in Xiao Niannian's direction and said,
"Old Lu, that Xu Yang just ran one minute and thirty-two seconds. I heard he broke the Division Headquarters' record. Comrade Xiao should be even faster than him this time, right?"
"Mm."
What did "Mm" mean?
He saw that Lu Jing seemed to be holding something just now, a stopwatch? So when Comrade Xiao was running, Old Lu was also timing her? That's really something.
Old Lu, Old Lu, although you don't speak much and are very calm, the things you do show that you are absolutely head over heels for Comrade Xiao Niannian.
He really saw through the outwardly reserved Old Lu.
He really saw through the outwardly reserved Old Lu.
"What's Comrade Xiao's result?"
Hearing Military Doctor Shen's words, Lu Jing replied,
"One minute and twenty-eight seconds."
How much?
Military Doctor Shen looked at Lu Jing in surprise.
He had previously heard that Comrade Xiao ran a time of one minute and thirty-two seconds, and at the time, he already thought Comrade Xiao was amazing. For an ordinary Military Unit, this result was already excellent.
Military Doctor Shen's gaze swept towards Xu Yang, who was full of triumph not far away, and he laughed.
"Looking at him, he probably thinks he got first place, right?"
Lu Jing's gaze fell on Xu Yang's face.
"It's a good thing Comrade Xiao broke off this engagement; otherwise, it would truly be embarrassing... Such a character really isn't worthy of Comrade Xiao..."
Military Doctor Shen usually didn't mince words, and at this moment, he truly felt this way.
In his eyes, only someone as outstanding as Lu Jing was worthy of someone as excellent as Xiao Niannian.
Someone like Xu Yang wasn't even fit to carry Comrade Xiao Niannian's shoes.
With such a result, he was still so smug. Any random person from their First Team had better results than Xu Yang.
With such results, Xu Yang still wanted to join the Special Forces Brigade; it was truly a joke.
Soon, the results were announced.
"First place in the 400-meter obstacle course, Xiao Niannian, with a time of one minute and twenty-eight seconds."
Xu Yang, with a smiling face, was about to wave at everyone, but when he heard that first place was Xiao Niannian, and her result was a full four seconds faster than his, his expression instantly turned extremely gloomy.
He had never heard that Xiao Niannian broke the Division Headquarters' record before. His one minute and thirty-two seconds had broken the Division Headquarters' record.
Even being one second faster was extremely difficult; how could Xiao Niannian be four seconds faster?
This was absolutely impossible!!!
Xu Yang abruptly looked at the comrades-in-arms responsible for tallying the results.
Someone had already raised a question.
"How could she run so fast? Is this result wrong?"
"Yeah, Company Commander Xu of the First Regiment broke the record with one minute and thirty-two seconds. Xiao Niannian was a full four seconds faster; that's four seconds!"
Hearing these people's doubts, the comrade responsible for tallying stepped forward.
"There is absolutely no problem with this result; we have four people responsible for timing..."
"That's right, this result is real."
Several comrades responsible for tallying came forward to speak.
The Commanders from the Division Headquarters next to them also stepped forward.
"We confirm that this result is real."
Hearing the Commanders' words, the doubting Soldiers all believed the result, and they looked at Xiao Niannian with immense admiration.
"Comrade Xiao, you broke the Division Headquarters' record, a full four seconds faster than second place."
"Four seconds! That's an extremely impressive figure."
"One minute and twenty-eight seconds, oh my god, I've never heard of such a good result before."
"Comrade Xiao Niannian, you are truly amazing!"
When Xu Yang heard this, he felt as if he had been slapped hard again.
