Delta: I have a 1-Haf Coin instant kill system!

Zhang Zhao withdrew his gaze and quickened his pace.

A five-kilometer cross-country run with a load is not too difficult for him now.

With physical attributes approaching 8 across the board, coupled with the precise control of breathing and physical strength provided by Bajiquan, he at least won't fall behind.

but--

"Huff... huff..."

Heavy breathing came from behind me.

Zhang Zhao glanced to the side and saw a young white man whose face was pale and whose steps were already unsteady.

We've only gone less than a kilometer.

"Adjust your breathing: inhale every three steps and exhale every three steps."

The sound of Gu drifted from the front of the group.

The young white man gritted his teeth, tried to adjust his breathing rhythm, and his steps became a little steadyer, but his face was still pale.

Zhang Zhao withdrew his gaze and continued running forward.

The line was very long!

At the very front are Red Wolf and Uluru.

In the middle are Wei Long, Luna, and several promising reserve operators.

Wei Long ran with ease; the 74-kilogram weight seemed unreal on him.

Zhang Zhao was running in the middle to back of the group.

In front of him was the white youth whose name he didn't know, and behind him were several reserve operators whose speed had obviously dropped.

And then—

Zhang Zhao did not turn around, but the Relink brain-computer interface thermal image showed that there were two light spots at the very back that were moving slowly.

"We'll get through tough times, but we won't fall behind!"

Shen Lan carried a riot shield weighing over 100 kilograms in one hand, running and shouting.

"The one who comes in last, go back and do an extra 5km run!"

Upon hearing this, the two people at the end of the line immediately sped up.

Five kilometers of weighted cross-country running, and then another five kilometers of training, wouldn't that be deadly?

Zhang Zhao's lips curled slightly as he withdrew his attention and focused on his own rhythm.

......

The gravel road sections are the most difficult to navigate.

The road surface is full of potholes and gravel that hurts your feet; you could easily twist your ankle if you're not careful.

Zhang Zhao slowed down a little and scanned the area ahead.

Wei Long's steps remained light and nimble, as if walking on flat ground!

Red Wolf and Uluru have already distanced themselves from the main force, and the two seem tireless!

"call--"

Zhang Zhao exhaled a breath of stale air and continued running forward.

The gravel crunched underfoot, and each step required bearing a weight of over 150 kilograms.

My knees are protesting, and my shoulders are aching from being squeezed so tightly.

But Zhang Zhao did not stop.

His breathing remained steady, and his steps remained firm!

The stance training of Bajiquan came into play at this moment.

The control of the center of gravity, the regulation of breathing, and the exertion of muscles—every detail was perfected!

"...You've got something there."

The sound of Gu drifted over from the side.

Zhang Zhao glanced to the side and saw Gu running beside him, her steps light and her breathing steady.

"Instructor."

Zhang Zhao greeted him.

Gu nodded, her gaze sweeping over him.

"Disassemble Nissov?"

"Um!"

Gu didn't ask any more questions and sped up to run to the front of the group.

Zhang Zhao watched her retreating figure and silently memorized the conversation.

......

Five kilometers is neither a long nor a short distance.

But for them, those five kilometers almost cost them their lives.

When the finish line came into view, a few low shouts rang out from the crowd.

"We're here...we've finally arrived..."

"My legs are numb..."

"Don't talk, save your energy..."

Zhang Zhao took a deep breath and quickened his pace towards the finish line.

The moment he crossed the finish line, his knees buckled, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"call--"

"good!"

Zhang Zhao looked up and saw Shen Lan standing in front of him, holding a riot shield in one hand, without batting an eye.

"The seventh one!"

Deep Blue gave a number, then turned and left.

The seventh one?

Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was his ranking.

"Great job, bro!"

Uluru strode over and slapped Zhang Zhao on the shoulder, almost knocking him over.

"Are you... alright?"

Zhang Zhao staggered for a moment, but then regained his balance.

"fine."

"That's good, that's good."

Uluru grinned.

"Let's go, let's go back and eat, I'm starving."

......

In the cafeteria.

Zhang Zhao, carrying his tray, sat down next to Red Wolf.

The five-kilometer cross-country run with a heavy load had exhausted him, and he felt so hungry he could eat a whole cow.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Red Wolf glanced at him and pushed the soup in his bowl towards him.

Zhang Zhao picked up the soup bowl, took a big gulp, and continued eating his rice.

"What's the schedule for this morning?"

With his mouth full of food, Uluru mumbled a question.

Red Wolf put down his chopsticks.

"I don't know, we'll wait for your notification."

No sooner had the words been spoken than the bee doctor's voice came from the cafeteria entrance.

"Everyone, gather at training ground in area C after you finish eating!"

"Important announcement!"

The cafeteria was quiet for a moment, then whispers began to circulate.

"Important matter? What is it?"

"I don't know... but judging from the bee doctor instructor's expression, he must be someone special."

"Could it be... we're about to go on a mission?"

Zhang Zhao put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly.

On a mission?

So fast?

Red Wolf glanced at him and whispered something.

"Don't overthink it, let's eat first."

......

Training ground in Zone C.

The twelve prospective agents stood in two rows, with four instructors standing in front.

Deep Blue took a step forward.

"I've called you here today to announce something."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"A reconnaissance operation will be conducted at Dam Zero in three days."

"All prospective operators are to participate!"

The training ground was quiet for a moment, then erupted into chaos.

"What? A reconnaissance mission?"

"Dam Zero? Isn't that Hafk's territory?"

"We've only been training for a short time... and we're already going on a mission?"

Shen Lan raised his hand, and the sound in the training ground instantly fell silent.

"I know what you're thinking—"

His voice was calm, as if he were stating a fact.

"The training time was too short, and they lacked experience. They shouldn't have been sent to the battlefield so quickly."

"But the GTI isn't a place for you to slowly grow!"

"GTI is the Global Counterterrorism Task Force. Your mission is—to carry out the most dangerous missions in the most dangerous places!"

"The reconnaissance mission three days from now will be your final test!"

Those who perform exceptionally well will be promoted to full GTI operators.

The training ground fell completely silent.

Official Operator!

That's why they came here!

"Next, let's announce the group assignments!"

Gu took a step forward, holding a tablet in her hand.

"Twelve people, three people per team, four teams in total."

"Each team is led by an instructor."

"The instructors are only responsible for observation and assessment; they do not participate in combat."

"All actions are to be carried out by yourselves."

She paused for a moment, her gaze falling on the tablet.

"Team One - Luna, Weilong, Zhang Zhao."

"I'm the instructor leading the team!"

Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment.

Gu continued chanting.

"Second team—Red Wolves, Uluru..."

"The third team..."

......

After the groups finished reading, hushed discussions arose in the training field.

Zhang Zhao ignored the discussions and took a deep breath.

Dam Zero is now Hafk's territory!

He was an undercover agent sent by Hafk to scout Hafk's territory.

What kind of plot is this?
