Chapter 190: Chapter 191: Destined to Lose?
“You don’t know? Dabao has been practicing acrobatics since she was a child; even Chen Huaying can’t match her in terms of physical strength,” Liu Yilan revealed her secret.

“Really?” Sheng Ning looked towards Chen Huaying.
Chen Huaying, who had been looking haughty, displayed a hint of defeat and snorted coldly, refusing to answer.
“When we first joined the union, we were grouped together, and Dabao could outrun two of her.”
“Hahaha… Huaying, I couldn’t tell! I thought you were the best in the world!”
“She is the best in the world at being arrogant.”
Sheng Ning, Chen Huaying, and Liu Yilan maintained a steady pace, keeping the distance the same as when they had started. That was because they knew in long-distance, weighted cross-country running, it was essential to conserve energy and sprint during the final phase.
“I can’t go on!” Wu Youli struggled to follow ten meters behind the three and finally couldn’t hold on any longer, collapsing to the ground as her vision darkened.
“Are you okay?” Sheng Ning stopped and went back to check on her, “You can’t sleep; move a bit first.” After that, she took Wu Youli’s arm and helped her up.
“I can’t do it; I can’t breathe,” Wu Youli’s face was flushed with fever.
“That’s because you ran too fast earlier, and now you’ve run out of energy.”
“How come you’re so strong? We’ve been running together!”
“That’s because I’ve been regulating my breathing, just like I do when I practice yoga every morning.” Sheng Ning opened her water bottle, gave her a drink, and then gently patted her back.
“Is it really that magical? I’ll try it next time.”
“It’s something that needs to be practiced over a long period.”
After having some water, Wu Youli felt a bit better, but she couldn’t manage the twenty-kilo weight on her back any longer.
Without saying another word, Sheng Ning took the load off her, “You run ahead; I’ll carry this for you.”
“Thank you!” Wu Youli, genuinely unable to carry it herself, gratefully continued on.
Seeing that the General Union Song and Dance Troupe had completely dispersed and fallen far behind the other teams, Sheng Ning’s willow-leaf eyebrows knitted slightly.
She quickly caught up to Chen Huaying ahead, “Wait for me!”
“What’s up?” Chen Huaying was trying to outdo Zhu Yu, and stopping meant being left behind.
“I don’t think we can keep going like this!” Sheng Ning analyzed, “Since the instructor said it’s a team race, the outcome must be based on the team’s result. Meaning, no matter how well you run, if there are stragglers, they will deduct from your score.”
“No way? Isn’t that ridiculous?”
Liu Yilan, who was lagging a bit behind, caught up and agreed with their conversation, “I think Sheng Ning makes sense; I didn’t expect you to be able to see the problem.”
Sheng Ning was speechless; Liu Yilan, could you not be so harsh with your words? She didn’t expect someone as foolish as herself to notice!
“Let’s do this! Dabao has already run to the front. So, we’ve secured the first place for individuals in the General Union Song and Dance Troupe, but we can’t lose the team competition. Liu Yilan, you’re responsible for organizing the formation; Sheng Ning, you help those who can’t run; and I’ll cover the rear.” Chen Huaying delegated tasks rapidly, much like a commander directing a battlefield.
“Yes, Leader, we guarantee to complete the mission!” The two responded playfully and then split up to execute the plan accordingly.
At the entrance of the Third Rescue Team’s gate, a red satin ribbon had already been arranged at the finishing point, flanked by banners on both sides.
Both sides of the road were lined with people, all waiting, waiting for the first to arrive, waiting to witness the glorious moment.
Yang Wenying and Wei Xian fought side by side, next to them the Provincial Rescue Center Chairman and other senior officers. During the wait, as was customary, everyone made their predictions.
Everyone unanimously favored the communications team!
Yang Wenying felt that today she seemed to clash with the communications team; the General Union Song and Dance Troupe had won the first two contests, which was unprecedented. But this time, in the weighted cross-country race, the General Union Song and Dance Troupe was bound to lose without a doubt.
