Taking a shortcut, I was overtaken by someone taking the main road?

An indescribable sense of humiliation instantly surged into Zhao Yan's mind.

Zhao Yan roared, her voice hoarse, pointing at the four steady figures ahead, and gave a death order to Sun Erniu and Zhou Zhihui beside her.

"Chase them! Even if it takes all your strength, you have to overtake them. The first place among the female soldiers must be ours!"

At the command, Zhao Yan took the lead and charged forward like an enraged mother leopard.

At this moment, Su Tang and her three companions were in a wonderfully harmonious state.

Wang Xiaoya and Liu Landi were used to running in the mountains. Although they lacked professional and scientific long-distance running knowledge, their endurance was quite amazing. With Su Tang's guidance, the two of them were still able to run the second half of the race with ease.

However, in the final sprint, Chen Xiaocao's physical shortcomings were inevitably exposed.

Her face grew paler and paler, her breathing became rapid like a fish out of water, and her steps began to falter. Sweat soaked through her bangs and stuck to her forehead, making her look disheveled and pitiful.

She felt as if her legs were filled with lead, and each time she lifted them, it took all her strength.

"I can't go on...you...you all leave me alone..." Chen Xiaocao's voice was choked with sobs; she didn't want to be a burden to everyone.

Su Tang sensed her limit and instead of leaving her behind, she deliberately slowed down by half a step, walked alongside her, and guided her with her steady, metronome-like footsteps.

Don't look at the finish line, look at my heels.

Wang Xiaoya and Liu Landi also slowed down in unison, one in front and one behind Chen Xiaocao, forming a small protective circle.

Just then, a series of earth-shaking footsteps and heavy breathing came from behind.

Zhao Yan and Sun Erniu charged forward like two out-of-control bulls, covered in mud and exuding murderous intent.

Su Tang caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of her eye. These people were exhausted and were only holding on by a stubborn, defiant fire. This kind of sprint couldn't be sustained for long.

But their aggressive approach suggests they have more than just the intention to overtake.

Sure enough, just as the two groups crossed paths, a sudden change occurred!

Su Tang clearly saw Zhao Yan, who was charging ahead, give Sun Erniu beside her a sinister look.

Now!

As Zhao Yan brushed past Chen Xiaocao on the far side, it seemed as if she had run too fast and lost control, but her shoulder bumped into Chen Xiaocao's shoulder without leaving a trace!

"ah!"

Chen Xiaocao was already on the verge of collapse, and could not withstand this deliberate collision. With a cry of surprise, she fell uncontrollably to the side like a kite with a broken string, landing heavily on the ground.

"Sorry, I couldn't stop!" Zhao Yan didn't even turn her head, casually tossing out a sentence, but her feet kept rushing forward without stopping.

"Little Grass!" Wang Xiaoya shouted anxiously.

Meanwhile, the massive Sun Erniu, as planned, pretended to stumble and her towering body, accompanied by a gust of wind, viciously rammed into Su Tang!

In her opinion, with Su An's thin and weak body, even if she didn't send her flying, her collision would make her roll on the ground several times, completely disqualifying her from the competition!

Su Tang sneered inwardly.

This Zhao Yan is indeed insidious and ruthless. This is the kind of thug tactic used in street fights—an attack with a clear objective and using any means necessary.

In the blink of an eye, facing Sun Erniu's enormous figure, Su Tang neither dodged nor avoided.

Just as Sun Erniu's shoulder was about to collide with her, Su Tang's body seemed to be genuinely frightened by the other party's imposing aura, causing her to stagger and inadvertently lean outwards.

Sun Erniu was overjoyed, thinking she had succeeded.
