The Cheetah Squad had a head start and never slowed down, their physical strength was also exceptionally strong.
However, the speed of Cooking Squad 004 far surpassed that of the Cheetah Squad.
In the blink of an eye, they had caught up with the Cheetah Squad.
In the final 500 meters, the two squads ran neck and neck, both desperately charging forward.
In the command center, all the assessment instructors could see the action clearly.
Over these last 500 meters, the distance was too short for the two teams to pull away from each other.
If nothing unexpected happened, Cooking Squad 004 and Cheetah Squad would likely tie for first place.
However, just then, the little arrow representing Squad 004 suddenly dispersed.
The blue dots, one by one, formed parabolas as they leaped forward vigorously.
Everyone was stunned.
Fu Biao waved his hand, and his aide immediately changed the view; the macroscopic map on the screen turned into a local map.
In the video, the dots transformed into figures.
When everyone got a clear view of Cooking Squad 004 under surveillance, they were utterly dumbfounded.
Immediately following, a mix of curses and exclamations erupted.
"That's so rogue, how can they sprint like that?"
"Unbelievable, this innovative thinking is undeniably impressive!"
...
The video showed the Cook Soldiers performing what seemed like acrobatics, creating a dazzling display.
The leading Cook Soldier stood in a horse stance, with both palms facing up, held out in front of his lower abdomen.
The soldiers charging behind ran towards the Cook Soldier up front.
One of them stepped on the forward Cook Soldier's palms, and the Cook in the horse stance thrust his hands backward vigorously.
The charging soldier was launched into the air like soaring through the clouds.
As he landed, he used the momentum to roll forward and then stood firmly on the red finish line.
In no time, they were less than 500 meters from the finish line.
The charging Cook Soldiers traced over a dozen dazzling arcs, all landing on the red finish line.
They clinched the final victory!
The sight nearly made the evaluating officers in the command center's eyes pop out of their heads.
Such flawless cooperation and the explosive power released in an instant of the charge.
It was evident that the physical fitness of these Pig-Raising Soldiers far exceeded that of typical Special Forces.
The way Cooking Squad 004 claimed first place.
Prompted a debate among all the evaluating officers in the command center, forming two distinctly opposite viewpoints.
Wang Qishan's booming voice subdued everyone else's.
"No, no, their method is too rogue, that's cheating, isn't it?"
"Yes, this is supposed to be a weighted cross-country run, not a gymnastic show, they broke the rules."
"Heh, Instructor Wang, why don't you let your men try cheating like this? Can they cheat at such a high level?"
"Damn, I have to admit it, this bunch is unimaginably inventive!"
...
Fu Biao gave a slight smile, looking at the jubilant Wu Yuanzhong, "Old Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Yuanzhong spread his hands wide with a hearty laugh.
"Art of War is also the art of deception. The mastery of its application lies in one's heart. I think they did great."
Fu Biao also laughed and shook his head.
"Where on earth did you dig up such treasures? They're really something."
The two Old Generals agreed, and as a result, Cooking Squad 004 took first place, with the Cheetah Squad coming in second, and Mulan Team in third.
On the training field, the Cheetah Squad watched in dismay as a bunch of Pig-Raising Soldiers snatched their first place.
Everyone was grinding their teeth in frustration.
This feeling was as if someone rogue had managed to successfully arrange a date with a bubble.
He had taken a luxurious suite and bathed, and as the beautiful woman got comfortable, he was about to "mount his steed".
However, a vagrant burst through the door and took his woman away.
It was frustrating, truly damn frustrating.
The captain of the Cheetah Squad, called Huang Zhiping.
He watched as the Pig-Raising Soldiers lazily loitered, and a wicked fire ignited in his heart.
Huang Zhiping gathered the Cheetah Squad and roared softly.
"We can't let these Pig-Raising Soldiers off easily,"
"In the next round of the fighting competition, we'll choose them as our opponents."
"When the time comes, no one hold back, beat them fiercely."
The Special Forces of the Cheetah Squad, having their limelight stolen, were also filled with indignation.
Hearing their captain speak this way, everyone nodded in agreement repeatedly.
The grappling fight competition was held in the training field.
Teams of two adopted a free matching mode, and each soldier wore a Battlefield Recorder that recorded every soldier's offensive and defensive actions.
The Battlefield Recorder then evaluated each squad's close combat capability based on the hit rate.
The Battlefield Recorder faithfully recorded every hit a soldier took.
When the hit index reached the predetermined data, the hit soldier would be ruled out by the system.
This type of close combat had strict regulations, vital parts were protected, and hitting lethal spots was absolutely prohibited.
The Cheetah Squad chose the Cooking Squad as their opponents.
All the regular soldiers were in an uproar.
Typically, elite special forces would choose opponents from other special forces squads of similar level.
It was unheard of for a team like the Cheetah Squad to actively choose a regular squad as their opponent.
However, thinking back to the 10-km weighted cross-country race where the Cheetah Squad was overtaken by the Cooking Squad for the championship, everyone felt it was understandable.
An elite special forces team, having their limelight stolen by a bunch of Pig-Raising Soldiers, was something no one could stand.
The men in the military were that straightforward.
Get back up where you fell, and take revenge on the spot.
No one should sneak around and whisper behind others' backs.
Three Swords was leading the Cooking Squad.
Of course, he wouldn't refuse the challenge from the Cheetah Squad and immediately agreed joyfully.
The rogues of the Cooking Squad, looking at the nearby Cheetah Squad, all smirked maliciously.
The Cheetah Squad wouldn't know.
For the rogues of the Cooking Squad, running was merely child's play.
Close combat was their strong suit.
Even the least proficient in Martial Arts Realm among these men had already broken through the Dark Force.
How could the Cheetah Squad possibly defeat this bunch of monsters?
Three Swords, fearing these guys would hurt someone and cause trouble, continuously emphasized military regulations.
He strictly ordered that no one was to use Dark Force or injure anyone.
If anyone injured someone, Chief Instructor Yang Fei would not let them off easy when they returned to the barrack at night.
Mentioning the fearsome Yang Fei somewhat calmed everyone down.
The methods of this Chief Instructor were not to be trifiled with.
When the staff officer reported the team matchups to the command post, the assessing instructors all laughed.
Everyone's focus was still on the Cooking Squad.
Watching the Cheetah Squad and the Cooking Squad paired up for the fighting competition.
Some instructors were unimpressed and thought Huang Zhiping was being too petty, while others appreciated Huang Zhiping's straightforwardness.
But regardless, everyone agreed on one thing.
The Cheetah Squad was, after all, composed of elite Special Forces soldiers.
When it came to grappling fights, how could the Cooking Squad be a match for them?
