Chapter 2905 - 2905 Not Behind

2905 Not Behind

At this moment, they rushed out to take a look. Oh my, several powerful teams from Western countries were still carrying out their shooting. There was no need to rush over anymore.

If they continued rushing, they might not be ranked eighth. They would probably be ranked sixth.

It wouldn’t match the progress of their original plan.

“Are we inadvertently shooting up the ranks?” T6 straightened his helmet that was knocked askew by the leaves just now. He shrugged his back forcefully and adjusted his backpack. He hugged his rifle and widened his eyes. He retracted the ruthlessness in his eyes bit by bit. “Why do I feel that it’s not easy to control the rankings? Look at this… We thought that it had been long enough. Who knew that there are still a bunch of people who haven’t completed the second round of shooting? Do you think we’ll directly enter the top three if we continue like this?”

The Chinese participants slowed down completely. The second ten-kilometer cross-country breakout exhausted everyone’s ability very quickly. Now that they saw teams from three countries firing their rifles in front of them, their tense hearts slowly relaxed. Their hands and feet felt tired too. They wanted to sit down and rest.

Hearing T6’s words, the few of them supported each other and walked together again. They started conversing in low voices.

“That’s right. It’s indeed difficult to control the ranking and time in such a competition where we don’t know how the others are doing.” G3 drank large mouthfuls of water as he spoke in a muffled voice. “If we want to follow our original plan to maintain our ranking… We have to keep discussing methods.”

Li Jinnian, who was holding Ye Jian’s hand, said calmly, “The second ten-kilometer cross-country breakout took one hour and 24 minutes. The American participants who left early took one hour and five minutes.

“In the last round, they only used one hour and seven minutes. In total, they’re 45 minutes faster than us and 20 minutes faster than the second-ranked country. In that case, if we finish our next ten kilometers within one hour and 20 minutes, our ranking won’t change much.”

“Why won’t it change much? Those countries that are lagging behind will definitely think of ways to accelerate and rush out. They might sprint and finish the ten kilometers in an hour. That way, our ranking will definitely fall behind.”

Sparrowhawk raised his doubts.

“No, our ranking won’t fall behind,” Xia Jinyuan, who was walking in front, said. “We’re aiming for mediocre results because we don’t want to lose too badly. We’re different from the other countries that are competing for the top rankings.

“Hence, their results in the first round often prove their strength. The second and third rounds are to stabilize their first-round results.

“In order to maintain their current ranking, the countries in front of us will try their best to catch up with each other. The countries behind us will do as V8 said. They’ll want to rush over and show their strength in cross-country breakthroughs. However, we have no intention of competing with them. Hence, no matter how much they fight, it won’t affect us.

“We only need to finish the third ten-kilometer cross-country in one hour and 20 minutes. Even if we fall behind, our ranking will only fluctuate slightly.”
