Chapter 432


The empty road was very quiet . It was not the main traffic artery, so very few vehicles would pass there . What's more, it was the weekend, many people would stay at home instead of driving around .

A middle-age man in glasses was standing on the lawn of his house with a baseball glove in one hand and a baseball in the other .

"Get ready!" The middle-aged man cocked his arm back and then threw the baseball .

Opposite the middle-aged man was a little boy eight or nine years old, also wearing a baseball glove . When the boy saw the baseball coming to him, he held out his hands and caught it .

At that moment, someone ran along the road, and gradually, more and more began to appear along the road . They all wore numbers on their backs, and it was easy to see that they were athletes running a race .

The little boy stopped and looked at the athletes .

"Daddy, are they competing?" asked the little boy .

"It is supposed to be a marathon," the middle-aged man with glasses stopped and said . "It's not too cold or too hot right now . It's really a good time to run a marathon . "

"Wow, it's a marathon, there must be sports stars running!" The little boy looked expectantly at the crowd, hoping to see a sports star .

"No point looking for someone famous . That's just a marathon for marathon lovers . They are all amateur runners!" the middle-aged man said with a smile .

"How do you know there aren't any sports stars in it when you are not participating?" the little boy asked indignantly .

"Look at that man . " The middle-aged man pointed to a fat man amongst the runners and then said, "If it was a professional marathon, how could there be a fat runner on the team? So, it must be a race organized by marathon lovers . Everyone is at the same level, so it's taking part that really counts . Therefore, it is less likely that professional athletes and sports stars are participating . "

Following the direction of his father's finger, the little boy looked at the fat man, whose figure made him very conspicuous despite being in the center of the crowd . In addition, the number on his back suggested he was a real runner .

"He looks fat, and it seems like he won't be able to finish the race," said the little boy, somewhat discouraged .

"You are right . That's why your mother and I tell you to eat more vegetables and less food with a lot of calories, such as French fries . Otherwise, you will become a fatty and be unable to complete a marathon . "

The little boy nodded helplessly . It was obvious that he didn't want to give up these delicious high-calorie foods, but he didn't want to be clumsy fatty either .

The fat Hassel didn't know he had become the object lesson that a middle-aged man used to educate his son .

But at that moment, Hassel was covered with sweat and his clothes were soaked . He couldn't even tell what direction he was running, and it was all he could do to run after the man in front of him .

Hassel didn't know how long he had been running, but he remembered that at first there were many people, but gradually the crowd drew into a long line . Occasionally, two or three runners would run together . There were fewer and fewer runners around him, as some surpassed him and others fell behind .

Hassel didn't know whether he ran fast or slow . Colorful clothes dazzled him, which also gave him a sense of security . At least he knew that he still had many companions and was not alone .

Hassel didn't know how far he was from the finish line, but he was running mechanically just like an indefatigable robot on an assembly line . As he forced his body to run at a constant speed, his limbs were paralyzed and he had forgotten the fatigue in his body . What's more, he thought nothing in his mind, but simply focused on taking step after step .

When Hassel passed a depot, a volunteer handed a bottle of water to him, but he didn't stop . He continued to run along, opening the bottle and pouring the water into his mouth .

Drinking the bottle of water made him feel much refreshed, and the intake of water stimulated his body's circulation, making him sweat more .

At this point, Hassel looked very dispirited, and he ran clumsily . It gave everyone the feeling that he might give up the race in the next few seconds, and stop to have a rest on the roadside .

At the roadside, there were indeed some contestants who chose to sit down and have a rest . Whenever Hassel passed by, they would look at him with a strange eye, maybe admiration, maybe sympathy, or maybe bewilderment . Perhaps they didn't understand how a fatty like Hassel could stick it out until now .

"I can't stop, I can't stop, Coach Li told me that I have to keep running . Even if I run slower than a walk, I can never stop and rest . Once I sit down and rest, it would be hard for me to stand up again . " Hassel recalled Dai Li's advice .

There were fewer and fewer contestants around Hassel . Some were faster than he was, so he was gradually left behind, and others were physically exhausted, so they slowed down and were left behind by Hassel . This race was the same as a marathon, where crowds of contestants set off together, and then they gradually dispersed, so the tight formation would become more and more loose .

Hassel was still running at his own pace, and he ignored those who moved beyond him and those he left behind . That's what he had been practicing these days—running at his own pace, namely, running at a constant speed .

From morning to noon, the sun was getting higher and higher, and the temperature began to rise . Hassel felt much hotter, and he sweated more .

The sun rose right above his head, which meant the heat of the day was coming . At this time, Hassel came to realize that he had been running all morning . But he didn't feel tired . His body had completely fallen into the rhythm of running .

But Hassel was thirsty, and as the sun shone on him, he felt like he was burning, which accelerated the evaporation of water from his body .

"Hold on, I have to hold on . I should be near the depot, where I can be supplied with water . " Hassel licked his lips .

Sweat came from Hassel's forehead, rolled down his cheeks, rested on his chin, accumulating into large beads of sweat and eventually falling to the ground . Wherever Hassel passed by, there would be sweat stain on the ground, while in front of him, there was the sweat stain of others .

At this moment, time seemed static, and Hassel no longer felt it passing . He looked ahead uncertainly as he ran mechanically, swinging his arms and repeating the same movement .

At last, there was a large crowd in front of him, and something like a billboard .

There is a depot ahead! Hassel could not remember how many depots he had passed . Previously, he would catch the water provided by others and drink it while continuing to run .

This time, Hassel ran over as he had done several times before and he saw the staff and volunteers in green overalls .

This time, instead of handing him a bottle of water, however, the staff gave him a piece of paper .

"Go over there and register!" said the staff .

"What this?" asked Hassel, but his words disturbed his breathing rhythm and he felt exhausted immediately .

"It's your certificate of completion for the 58-kilometer race!" the staff said and then continued to hand the papers to the contestants behind Hassel .

"Certificate? Am I finished?" Hassel looked at the paper in his hand . It was indeed a certificate of completion for the 58-kilometer race, with a number just written on it .

I made it! I finished a 58-kilometer race! Hassel thought, and then took off his coat, which was completely soaked with sweat .

This 24-hour Frogman Challenge was not as difficult as I thought it would be!

The blonde Cruise lay on a beach, and in front of him was a wall about 2 . 5 meters high .

This wall was one of the 25 obstacles . The participants had to climb up the wall, get over it, and then stand on the ground on the other side .

Usually, it would be quite easy for Cruise to finish it . He was more than 1 . 8 meters tall, and he was a master of sports . He could climb up the 2 . 5 meters high wall just by jumping from a standing position, without even a run-up .

This time, however, Cruise couldn't climb over the wall . He had tried many times, but his strength couldn't support him to climb over the wall . Even though his hands could reach the top, he had no strength to shore up his body .

The 58-kilometer long-distance run and the 8-kilometer swim had completely drained Cruise of his physical strength . As a result, the 25 obstacles, which had originally been the easiest task for him, had now become an insurmountable challenge .

I didn't expect the 24-hour Frogman Challenge to be so difficult . I signed up for a special physical training course, but I'm still having difficulty passing the challenge . Breathing heavily, Cruise decided to take a rest, save up his physical strength, and then climb over the wall in front of him .

The 58-kilometer run and the 8-kilometer swim have consumed too much of my energy, especially the 8-kilometer swim… Cruise could not help but recall the swim .

Cruise had spent more than three hours to finish the 8-kilometer swim, which consumed no less energy than the 58-kilometer long-distance run .

Swimming consumes more physical strength than long-distance running, let alone swimming in outdoor public waters . Even good swimmers would feel tired after swimming for more than three hours in a row . In addition, three hours of swimming after a 58-kilometer run was enough to make anyone exhausted .

Cruise was dog-tired . But in fact, his performance was pretty good, because few participants could make it to the 25 obstacles . Most of them gave up during the first two events .

Lay down for a while, and my energy will recover . By then I will be able to climb over the wall! This idea kept coming up in Cruise's mind, but he was in a daze and his consciousness was clouding .

I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep for a while . Cruise took another look at the nearby wall .

A fat but fuzzy figure appeared near the wall . He ran, jumped, and used his hands to seize the wall as his feet scrambled up it . Suddenly, he used his arms to support his body and climbed up the wall with the inertia of his run and jump .

In reality, he put his own body on the wall and hung himself in the air with his stomach as a support point . But from Cruise's perspective, he could only see the fatty stamping his legs to keep his body balanced, then the kid fell over to the other side of the wall .

What an ugly gesture . It reminded me of Hassel, how is he here now? He should have been eliminated . Cruise gave a deep sigh, and he slowly closed his eyes . Ten seconds later, he was snoring .

At that moment, a staff went past Cruise and squatted and had a look at him, only to find that Cruise had fallen asleep . The staff, therefore, covered Cruise with a blanket, and then muttered, "There's one more participant who gave up the race . "

The staff clearly knew that anyone who fell asleep at this point would not be able to wake up soon, let alone return to the race .

Hassel got up from the ground, and as he had just fallen off the wall, he was a bit dizzy . What's more, the ground was covered with soft sand, and Hassel's mouth was full of sand .

Hassel spit out the sand, then raised his head and looked forward tenaciously .

He was going to confront the next obstacle .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
