Age of Legends

Chapter 18: Running at Night without Sleep

The story of Zhang Chen and Zhuang Yanyue turning their hostility into friendship became a good story in the grade.

Of course, the main protagonist of this story is Zhuang Yanyue.

Zhuang Yanyue successfully brought up the topic again, sparking a heated discussion. She was unrivalled in the title of goddess, and her fame was unrivalled by anyone else in Yude.

There will always be such masters in this world. No matter what situation they are in, even if it is unfavorable to them, they can eventually turn the tide. Such people can often become powerful representatives in a certain direction.

Zhang Chen has always believed that those who have everything going smoothly and seem to be on the rise are not worth envying. Instead, those who can weather the storms and finally come out on top are the ones who are powerful.

There are many people who have been famous for ten years, and some who have been famous for half their lives are still strong. If you look at their experiences, you will find that they are all tough characters, just like Mr. Yu from a certain Oriental TV series, who can’t be killed in any way and can even come back to life after his industry is gone. It’s like the arena equipment in World of Warcraft increases blood and toughness, which tells you that in the ladder world, only staying alive is the kingly way, and nothing can beat blood.

Zhang Chen found that the script seemed to be wrong. He had clearly rejected Zhuang Yanyue, so he should have ended what had begun that year.

Why are things between him and Zhuang Yanyue getting more and more serious?
After breaking up with Zhuang Yanyue, the two didn't even say hello to each other when they met again at school.

It's completely different from now.

Forget it, at least what Zhuang Yanyue is doing now is on the right track.

It didn't offend him.

The chemistry teacher is in charge of the evening self-study class. Every day, either the teachers take turns to be on duty, or the class monitor is in charge.

The atmosphere during evening self-study is relatively relaxed. As long as you don’t walk around or talk, it’s okay.

Chemistry teacher Yi Jun calmly treats the evening study room as a tea room every day. He makes a cup of tea and takes a few newspapers. As long as the students do not disrupt the class order too much, he generally does not care.

In the second half of the evening self-study session, everyone started chatting. Some talked about the entertainment industry, and some talked about the clips from Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy" that was released a few months ago.

Talking about new songs, there are David Tao's I heard that you are now a big manager and your future is like a shining star and Nicholas Tse's Don't ask the people who loved me how deeply they hurt me.

Some people even hummed the song in a middle school style. Of course, the term middle school is not very popular now. Non-mainstream music is beginning to decline, and will gradually fall under the general category of middle school music.

The most attractive one is still the horror film "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" which was released in Hong Kong last November. It is said to have become a childhood shadow for many people in later generations, and it really scares people now. Now a large number of vcddvd copies have begun to enter the disc rental market, and it is now the hot period.

There are some small groups in the three offices and four hospitals who play discs at home on weekends, and people are so scared that they dare not go out.

Now, with so many people attending evening self-study classes, many of them started discussing the plot of the movie and also extended it to real-life supernatural stories.

"We'll rent it and have a look some other day!" Wang Shuowei said, just like Ye Gong who loves dragons.

Jingle bell bell bell.

The bell for evening study rang.

Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei were packing their things. Wang Shuowei would just pick up Yanyan's bag and leave, but Zhang Chen was packing the books he would need tonight.

There are a lot of reference books and test papers in high school, and many people put them at home and on their desks, and calculate the next day's classes in advance and take them as needed. There are also some people like Wang Shuowei who simply put a few test papers in their bags and don't take any books home.

However, Zhang Chen stuffed a tight backpack into his back and put it on his back, giving Wang Shuowei the feeling that a hiker was setting out fully equipped.

"Fuck you, are you serious?" Wang Shuowei muttered.

In the past, the two of them would rush home as soon as the bell rang, but now they were delayed by Zhang Chen and could only walk down with the crowd.

And it was during these few minutes of delay that when they arrived at the school gate, someone called them from behind.

"Zhang Chen, Wang Shuowei!"

The two turned around and saw that it was Zheng Xue and Shen Nuoyi. It was Zheng Xue who called them.

"Hey, let's go home together today!"

what?
This time it was Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei who were surprised.

We didn’t even have dinner together in the afternoon, so why did we invite them to go home together in the evening?

In fact, Zheng Xue and Shen Nuoyi had heard people talking about the horror film "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" behind them during evening study. In the end, Shen Nuoyi couldn't help but turn sideways and join the listeners, listening to the girl's vivid description. She was so engrossed and scared that her fingernails dug into the desk.

Needless to say, Zheng Xue held half of her shoulders in her arms the whole time, and as a result, her shoulder still hurts now.

Now, as they walked down the stairs with the rest of the group and onto the campus boulevard, the two girls began to feel scared.

At this time, I happened to see Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei in front of me.

Zheng Xue asked tentatively, "How about... we go back with Zhang Chen and the others today? The big construction site over there is digging the foundation. It is said that there is a mausoleum next to it. It's just the two of us today. Aren't you afraid?"

Shen Nuoyi also nodded repeatedly, "Okay!"

"Hiss! Still okay? Miss Shen really made things difficult for you!"

"Oh, stop talking nonsense."

Only then did Zheng Xue call out to the two people in front.

"Will you walk home with us?" Walking home is Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei's daily project.

The two girls were surprised when they heard this, "You guys are walking home? You want to catch the bus!"

Wang Shuowei hesitated, and Zhang Chen also looked at Shen Nuoyi.

Shen Nuo nodded his head up and down repeatedly to express his plea.

Tsk... Where's your cool and aloof demeanor? Zhang Chen wanted to laugh when he saw her like this.

However, seeing that there were pleading looks in her and Zheng Xue's eyes, Zhang Chen said, "Why don't you catch the bus today so you can go back early to do your homework." This was also correct. After all, it was the final exam soon, and it was not unusual for Zhang Chen to remember to do his homework.

"Oh..." Wang Shuowei also agreed.

"Then you have to go quickly to avoid the crowds later!"

"Oh yeah, go, go, go!"

"gogogo!"

The four of them hit it off and headed towards the street where the platform was.

Not long after I walked, I saw the lights of Route 311 turning towards me.

At this time, the street lights in Rongcheng were not that bright, mainly because the surrounding paulownia trees were lush and leafy, blocking the light from the street lights above, making the light shining on the streets dim.

The dim light inside the No. 311 bus showed that the number of people was not yet full.

The number of people is not full now, but it may not be full in a while.

Because there were already shadowy crowds of people heading towards the platform ahead, but they were not moving very fast or densely, so it was not clear what would happen next.

At this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly had an idea and looked to the side.

He just happened to see Shen Nuoyi's pair of auspicious eyes, who were also looking at him, as he was walking side by side with him.

At this moment, the scene of this pair of auspicious phoenix eyes should not be here, but should be in a small temple where people have retired from the world. At this moment, countless people seeking revenge outside are climbing on the roofs and climbing rocks, and are surrounding the small temple.

At this time, the heroine under the bamboo hat in the small temple should have such a pair of eyes, as sharp as a sword out of its sheath.

The next moment their eyes met, the smell of gunpowder exploded, and they lowered their shoulders and elbows almost at the same time, holding the backpack straps with their hands, sending air into the nasal cavity during deep breathing, sinking their calves and bending their knees, and the power flowed from the ground into their legs and reached their waists.

"run!"

Zhang Chen and Shen Nuo rushed out, and they even had time to whistle to alert their companions behind them.

Unfortunately, the two people behind him were not as intelligent, and they were a beat slow to react.

"Hey, no!" This was Wang Shuowei's exclamation.

"Ah?" This was Zheng Xue's expression when she saw the two people rushing out like leopards.

Zhang Chen and Shen Nuoyi were like two swordsmen coming out of a small temple. Those martial artists on the road wanted to stop them in various ways, but unfortunately, they were left behind and killed one by one.

"We're almost there!" Zhang Chen gave a look to the person beside him.

"Hmm!" Shen Nuo fell behind a little, so she wondered in her heart why Zhang Chen could run so fast? Could it be that he was trained by his mother?
The biggest taboo at this time is to let your imagination run wild.

Zhang Chen didn't, because he had seen the buses in Rongcheng in the morning. Especially during the evening rush hour after the evening self-study get out of class, if you run slower, you will die! The gate is closed and you stay on the surface, wandering the earth.

But Shen Nuo just missed a step.

So bus No. 311 braked with a bang, and then there was the sound of a folding air pressure door opening in the air. Zhang Chen stepped forward and just as he grabbed the door handle, he was blasted in by the crowd like a particle cannon.

The crowd that followed immediately occupied the passage behind them. Shen Nuoyi followed closely and stepped on the door pedal of the bus with one foot. Just as she was about to put force, the crowds on both sides kept crashing into her, causing her to lose her balance and be pushed backwards.

Her black hair spread out behind the gathering crowd, and a look of fear appeared on the girl's face.

Strangely enough, the crowd at this time seemed to be intelligent nanorobots, and they dispersed behind her when she fell...

Scattered...

Just as Shen Nuoyi's eyes were filled with shock, suddenly, his wrist was grabbed by a steady force. He couldn't pull his hand away at this time, so Zhang Chen pulled Shen Nuoyi's wrist a little upwards.

Just when Shen Nuoyi slipped and was about to fall out of the car, Zhang Chen held the door handle with his right hand and pulled himself back towards the car door against the impact of the people entering the door. Then he stretched out his left hand from the dark crowd and tightly grabbed Shen Nuoyi who had lost his balance.

Then Shen Nuo suddenly stopped leaning backwards, and then his body moved in the opposite direction.

Zhang Chen pulled her into the room.

After standing firmly inside the door, he changed his wrist to grab her hand and pulled her to a space near the window.

While Zhang Chen was pushing aside the crowd and moving forward, Shen Nuo felt as if several minutes had passed.

But in reality it only lasts a few seconds.

Gha! The door closed with a bang. It was almost closed, and the person next to the door pulled his butt inwards and barely closed the door.

At this time, Zhang Chen and Shen Nuoyi, who were standing beside the carriage, saw through the window that Wang Shuowei and Zheng Xue had finally run to the platform.

Wang Shuowei ran like a freak, his shirt torn open. Zheng Xue followed behind him, panting, and Zhang Chen and Shen Nuo sighed in despair as the door closed and no one could get on.

Finally, when the car drove away, Wang Shuowei made a gesture, meaning you guys go by yourselves, we will be the next one to go home!
At this time, Zhang Chen and Shen Nuoyi were gasping for breath in the limited space, feeling the soreness of lactic acid accumulated in their legs and bodies.

Someone in the car saw the boy holding the pretty girl's hand and protecting her as they walked to where they were staying. Some were envious and some were moved. An old man was laughing, wondering if he had also held someone's hand and walked through the romantic world like this in the past, and whether he had been lost.
After catching their breath a little, Zhang Chen and Shen Nuo looked at the receding scenery outside the window and the innocent figures of Wang and Zheng disappearing into the distance.

The two looked at each other again, and suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud, with tears in their eyes.

It seemed as if he had forgotten that his hands had just been separated as if they had been electrocuted.
