Cheng Yao and Fei Wenxing saw Song Ke, looked back, and saw everyone from the second lap catching up, and they immediately became restless.
"Sis Tong, I'm heading off first, the last 20 in our Mecha Single Soldier Department will get punished," said Fei Wenxing before he sped up his run.
"Sis Tong, I'm off too, keep it up! Participation is what counts, haha," Cheng Yao also left.
Qu Tong was in no hurry and maintained a leisurely and even pace.
Song Ke had already taken the lead by a lap and wasn't in a hurry either, running alongside Qu Tong.
Most people slowed down noticeably halfway through the run, breathing heavily and staggeringly.
Qu Wanwan was among them; although she could still keep going, sweat was beginning to ruin her meticulously applied makeup, making her very uncomfortable.
But Qu Tong, although not running fast, kept a very steady pace.
Gradually, she overtook half of the runners and was no longer at the back of the pack.
