The next day, early morning.
Eight o’clock.
As soon as the time came,
Chen Sheng opened his eyes on his own accord.
He sat up on the bed, stretching lazily.
He felt invigorated and refreshed.
He took out the earplugs, got up, and washed up.
After breakfast, Chen Sheng put on his weighted gear and went out.
Chen Sheng was highly doubtful whether he could complete twenty kilometers carrying 30kg of weight.
But it did not matter.
If not today, then tomorrow.
If still not tomorrow, then later it will.
Chen Sheng had full confidence in his progress.
He started running.
Five kilometers in,
Chen Sheng usually found this distance to be a piece of cake.
But now,
He clearly felt that his stamina was already diminished by more than half, and his breathing rate had involuntarily become faster.
Ten kilometers.
Stamina gradually depleted.
Chen Sheng’s face turned red.
But he did not stop; instead, he gritted his teeth and kept going.
Relying on the stamina recovery brought by the increase of his physical attribute,
he felt like he could still push further.
Thirteen kilometers.
“Heh—Woooah—Heh!”
Chen Sheng bent down on the side of the road, placing both hands on his knees, panting heavily.
His calves trembled as if he was dancing to disco music.
Only half the distance,
And he was already exhausted.
His stamina recovery speed could no longer keep up with the rate he was expending.
Once his breathing slowed down a bit, Chen Sheng decided to rest for a while and then catch a moto-taxi.
Chen Sheng sat on a stone stool, bored, watching the passing traffic.
Behind him was the edge of a small town in Jincheng District, still retaining the style of the 1980s.
Across the road, there was an old park.
Apart from Chen Sheng, many people were running here.
“Help me~”
“Robbery~”
However,
He had barely settled in when he suddenly heard cries for help from his right side.
Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw a middle-aged man in a black hooded sweatshirt, rushing in his direction.
Not far behind the man, a woman in a red cotton padded jacket was chasing him.
The cries for help came from her.
As the distance between him and the robber was getting closer, Chen Sheng could not just stand by.
As fast as lightning, he stood up from the stone stool, ready to intercept the robber.
But the next second,
something unexpected happened.
The robber, whether out of fear of Chen Sheng or something else,
changed direction in an instant upon seeing him and rushed towards the town instead.
Chen Sheng knew this was bad.
This small town had many narrow alleys, and no surveillance cameras.
If the robber escaped, it would be difficult to find him.
Without any time to think,
Chen Sheng immediately started chasing the robber.
But he soon regretted it.
At present, his stamina was almost completely depleted, and he still had 30kg of weight on him, which he didn’t have time to take off.
When it came to running speed, he was no match for the robber.
Within just a few seconds, he was already left more than ten meters behind.
Damn it!
The two of them chased and fled until they reached a narrow alley, with residential houses on both sides.
Seeing that the other party was about to run out of his sight, Chen Sheng couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
But at that moment,
“Stop!”
A command came from behind.
Chen Sheng turned to look.
He saw a black figure, swiftly passing by him and heading straight for the robber.
It was so fast, it was astounding.
In the blink of an eye, it was already close to the robber.
The black figure stretched out its right arm, and its fist hit the back of the robber.
The off-balance robber flew several meters away under the effect of inertia.
But he didn’t lose consciousness and instead struggled to get up from the ground, all the while cursing loudly.
“F*ck you—Ah!!”
The words were not even finished,
when there was a muffled thud.
