Don't Give Up (Book Friend 20 Alliance Leader Bonus Chapter)
Ou Ye's cheers are concise and to the point, with a strong personal style and linguistic characteristics, which is very Ou Ye.
"Ou Ye, your cheering is so damn rhythmic!" Zhou Yu'an was speechless. He led the boys from the School of Mathematical Sciences to continue chanting, "Shen Xiaoqi, aim for first place!"
"Who's the strongest? The Mathematics Department!"
"Big Mathematics Department, Go-Go-Go!"
On the track, Shen Qi spotted his strongest competitor, a sophomore from the School of Engineering: "Hey bro, I heard you came in first in the preliminaries yesterday, a little over 17 minutes, impressive!"
"Just run around blindly with your eyes closed," the engineering student said casually.
"What's your major?" Shen Qi asked.
"Materials Science and Engineering," the engineering student said, glancing at the starter who was adjusting the starting pistol.
Shen Qi: "Oh, what a coincidence! I have a high school classmate who's also in this major. He studies at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Capital University of Science and Technology. He's also very passionate about running. His grades are a little lower than yours. I heard you get perfect scores in every exam? By the way, I'm from the School of Mathematics. Shen Qi, it's a pleasure to compete against you. Please give me your guidance."
Engineering student. "Are all people in the math department this long-winded?"
At this point, the starter shouted the ready signal, "On your marks!"
The 24 runners at the starting line assumed their starting positions.
Bang!
The starting gun fired, and the men's 5000-meter final began.
Shen Qi moved like a rabbit, darting to the front of the line in a flash, determined to grab the first position as soon as he started running.
As he wished, Shen Qi quickly took the lead position on the inner lane.
In a long-distance race without lanes, the lead position in the innermost lane 1 is crucial. In the final sprint, whoever launches the final attack from this position will gain the upper hand.
"Stop following! What the hell? This 5000-meter final is all about fighting from the start. Even if we lose the ranking, we absolutely cannot lose our spirit! "Shen Qi resolutely and decisively implemented the tactical principle of "fighting from the start." He took a strong lead, and the Big Mathematics Department was the best. Let's fight! Let's fight! Let's fight! Let's fight!"
With Shen Qi leading the charge, the main group's pace in the first three laps was astonishing.
This doesn't look like a 5000-meter race; it looks more like a 1500-meter race.
"Damn Shen Qi, you're stirring up trouble!" The strongest contestant from the School of Engineering, a Second Year Engineering Male student, was furious. He made a gesture and led the other 7 contestants from the School of Engineering to launch a counterattack.
The School of Engineering has an incredibly strong long-distance running program; out of a total of 24 people who made it to the finals, a third were students from the School of Engineering.
The eight School of Engineering students lined up in an organized and disciplined manner and ran into the queue, with four bringing up the rear and four chasing.
The four men covering the rear blocked the main road, preventing the main force behind them from joining the fight.
Led by "Second Year Engineering Male," the four men launched a fierce pursuit attack on Shen Qi.
The 24 runners on the track were divided into four distinct groups.
Shen Qi was leading the pack.
The four men, including "Second Year Engineering Male," chased after Shen Qi desperately, keeping a distance of about one or two meters.
The School of Engineering's rearguard deliberately slowed down their pace, occupying lanes 1 and 2, and pulling further and further away from the four-man pursuit team of "Second Year Engineering Male," while suppressing all the runners behind them. Their intention was very clear: let's all stop playing around and let the five in front have a big game.
Seeing this, the dozen or so contestants behind them realized that the School of Engineering was simply unreasonable and they couldn't afford to mess with them. They decided to just be bystanders and not bother with the game.
As Shen Qi ran, he glanced back and exclaimed, "Hey, not bad! They're catching up!"
"I have strong muscles, both red and white, what am I afraid of? Keep going!" Not afraid of being caught up, Shen Qi increased his stride length and stride frequency, and after 2500 meters, he ran at a crazy sprint speed.
"Depend on!"
The Second Year Engineering Male was speechless. He had never seen Shen Qi's pace like this before. Who sprints when they're only halfway through a race? Does he even know how to run?
"Where do you think you're going!" The bloodthirsty "Second Year Engineering Male" was not about to give up easily; he suddenly accelerated and chased after Shen Qi.
The support players from the School of Engineering showed great teamwork; as soon as they saw their the Boss unleash a powerful attack, they immediately followed up and accelerated their pursuit.
This is typical of engineering students: if one person can't beat you, then a group of us will.
"Charge, Shen Qi!"
"The Big Mathematics Department is the best!"
The faculty and students from the School of Mathematical Sciences in the stands were excited. Normally, watching a long-distance event like the 5000-meter race shouldn't be this exciting, but the fierce sprints and competition on the track made their blood boil.
After the race had passed 3500 meters, the battle on the track became incredibly fierce, with most runners unable to continue.
The worst off was the School of Engineering's combat group. They had been locked in a fierce battle with Shen Qi from the very beginning, completely disrupting their pace and rhythm, and they were out of stamina.
Shen Qi's physical exertion was also enormous, but he had to persevere; the ultimate goal of setting the pace was to reap the rewards.
Gritting his teeth, Shen Qi continued to lead the race. Due to the continuous depletion of his energy, his running speed slowed down, but his lead actually widened.
The School of Engineering students were powerless to overtake Shen Qi. The consequences of their frantic sprints along the way became apparent in the last three laps; they gave up the fight and simply couldn't run anymore.
"Second Year Engineering Male" could originally run a time of under 18 minutes, but with this haphazard running, he might not even be able to break 20 minutes.
In short, everyone is courting death; it's just a matter of who can court death the longest.
Shen Qi glanced back and said, "So they're just a bunch of weaklings."
His lead has reached over 100 meters, and he's ahead for a quarter of a lap, putting him ahead of the second-place finisher, "Second Year Engineering Male".
After running 4000 meters, Shen Qi completed the lap, lapping more than a dozen runners at the back of the pack.
"Hahaha, you got it!" Zhou Yu'an clapped his hands and laughed. "Keep going, Shen Qi, beat all the opponents!"
Shen Qi looked ahead and saw eight more people, eight students from the School of School of Engineering.
Continuing to exploit loopholes, Shen Qi ensnared one opponent after another. With only one lap left, Shen Qi's target was just one person: the "Second Year Engineering Male" from the School of Engineering.
Shen Qi was exhausted. He could catch up with the "Second Year Engineering Male" in 3 meters, but he was too tired to run anymore.
The championship was definitely Shen Qi's, but unfortunately, he was unable to complete the laps of the other 23 contestants.
"Just one more, just one more..."
With 200 meters left, Shen Qi couldn't catch up with the "Second Year Engineering Male" in front of him. He hated himself; why was he so incompetent?
The equally exhausted "Second Year Engineering Male" could no longer swing his arms. He subconsciously looked back and saw, oh my god, Shen Qi was catching up! This meant he was almost a lap behind Shen Qi, 400 meters!
"Don't give up, Shen Qi! This isn't over yet!" Zhou Yu'an was frantic. He yelled at Ou Ye beside him, "Ou Ye, say something! Stop acting like an NPC, please!"
Ou Ye: "Go, Shen Qi, run!"
Shen Qi, who was on the track, couldn't hear Ou Ye's cheers, but he was stimulated by the look back from the "Second Year Engineering Male" in front of him.
"What are you looking at! You look down on me?" Shen Qi was bursting with rage. He used his last bit of strength to swing his arms and thrust his hips forward, sprinting towards the finish line.
100 meters.
80 meters.
50 meters.
20 meters.
With just 10 meters left, Shen Qi took the second lane and overtook "Second Year Engineering Male," completing a lap over all the other competitors.
The Second Year Engineering Male was almost in tears. Humiliation, utter humiliation! Shen Qi, you're not human! Your physical strength is insane!
Shen Qi was completely exhausted; he had used up 50% or more of his energy. He was the first to cross the finish line—the champion!
Zhou Yu'an laughed heartily, "Hahaha, after outmaneuvering everyone and winning the 5000-meter championship, the King of King of Show Offs at Yanda University has been born, Shen Qi!"
