Chapter 172 Disappeared Halfway
Then Zhang Wei began a difficult period of suffering both physically and mentally.
First, there was Rebecca, the foreign teacher invited by the musical club. She was not young anymore, but her clothes were still very exquisite. Her legs and feet had some injuries from dancing as a young person, so she was still using crutches.
In the first class, she did not teach them to sing, but taught them how to practice walking posture on the stage and how to express various emotions with body language.
If the action was done wrong, she would not scold him, but just spit out one word with an expressionless face: "Try again"
Now, Zhang Wei has done this "running with joy" action more than ten times.
All that could be heard from the audience off the stage was “Come again” and “Come again”.
Even though she was in good physical condition, and she had to put on a happy expression over and over again, and walk lightly and gracefully, the stiff smile on her face was almost gone.
When she did it for the twentieth time, her feet were already wobbling and her eyes were a little dizzy from the dazzle of the stage lights, making Zhang Wei's face look a little hazy and dreamy.
"Well, I understand it well this time. Seeing the person you meet is like falling into a dream and being overjoyed. Everyone can learn from this."
Hearing teacher Rebecca's praise, Zhang Wei almost stumbled forward. She was not the worst off. The girl behind her ran alone for half the class.
Then Zhang Wei dragged his stiff limbs, which had almost forgotten how to walk normally, and went to the laboratory introduced by Professor Cruise with Alia.
The place they went to was an independent college in Cambridge, which was also a professor's private laboratory. Alia had said that Professor Cruise had told her that she was here to do some odd jobs, and it turned out to be odd jobs...
This laboratory is very large and formal, and Zhang Wei and others have to wear protective clothing when entering.
Zhang Wei thought they needed help doing some basic experiments or recording data, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.
She and Alia shuttled back and forth in the laboratory to collect discarded test tubes and spent reagents.
They seemed to have some urgent scientific research tasks to complete. Zhang Wei had no chance to talk to anyone in the laboratory. They were all very busy, and she couldn't see anyone clearly under the protective clothing.
They are the real cleaners. Zhang Wei suspects that the biggest reason they don't hire cleaners to clean is that they are afraid that they can't tell the difference between useful and useless things.
Because sometimes Zhang Wei had to find undiscovered successful samples from a pile of used test tubes, and then be ordered around by the researchers.
The moment Zhang Wei took off her protective suit, she took a deep breath. She was really suffocating. Her clothes were all wet. It was pure physical labor.
Then she and Alia took the bus back. Zhang Wei originally wanted to take a taxi, but she wouldn't agree even if she didn't let Alia share the fare, so Zhang Wei had no choice but to accompany Alia on the bus.
Fortunately, Alia had checked the route beforehand, so even though it was a little late when they returned to school, they still managed to catch the bus.
Zhang Wei rarely takes the London bus. When she goes out alone, she usually takes a taxi. When there is no convenient and fast network, it is really troublesome to figure out so many bus routes.
Seeing the brick-red bus approaching, Zhang Wei got on and didn't want to move after sitting there. She was really exhausted.
Just when she was thinking about going back to school, taking a hot bath and going to bed early, something unexpected happened!
The bus suddenly stopped before it reached Devon's town. Facing the surprised gazes of the people on the bus, the driver stood up and said:
"It's time for me to get off work!"
Then he got out of the car and walked away, he was gone!
Zhang Wei looked at Alia and asked, "What time does this bus end?"
Alia said blankly: "The driver is gone, it has to end, what should we do?"
At this time, there was an old man in the car. He touched the handrail to stand up and got off the car silently. At this time, only Zhang Wei and her two friends were left in the car.
Although Zhang Wei had seen many strange things abroad, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing. Besides, it was already dark, and they couldn't spend the night on the bus.
"Let's go while there are still streetlights."
Zhang Wei said, yes, if it is too late the street lights will be turned off.
She looked at the time. It was not yet eight o'clock. Although she didn't know exactly how far it was from the town, she felt that this place would not be too far from the town.
The driver and the old man had just gotten off the car, but there was no one standing on the road. This made Zhang Weidong think a lot, and he remembered the supernatural novels he had read in his previous life. Could they have gotten on a car that they shouldn't have gotten on?
"Vera, you're walking too fast, wait for me."
Alya called after her.
At this time, Zhang Wei looked back and found that Alia was several meters behind her.
Zhang Wei stopped and said, "Alia, are you sure we got on the right bus?"
"Yes, this is the only bus that can get to town!" Alia said with certainty.
"Okay, let's hurry up. I'm afraid the guard won't let us in, even though we have Professor Cruz's approval."
"Did you hear anything?" Alia asked.
"I hope we don't hear any strange noises, Alia. It would be best if it were just the two of us."
Zhang Wei was really afraid that she would scare herself, although she was also a little nervous.
"Really, Vera, listen!"
Zhang Wei immediately pulled her forward and said, "No, you heard wrong."
Then he pointed to the shadow under his feet and said, "Look, isn't this——"
The moment Zhang Wei saw the shadow, she almost wanted to run away, but Alia was still hanging on her.
"Ah! What...is it?" Alia looked at Zhang Wei stiffly, not daring to look back.
Based on that first glance, Zhang Wei had a terrifying guess in his mind - a wolf.
She dragged the limp Alia and quietly quickened her pace. She found that the shadow of the animal was still maintaining the same distance as before. As they moved faster, it also moved faster.
Oh no! Zhang Wei broke out in a cold sweat because she had never fought with a wolf before.
But she didn't dare to disturb it. She and Alia tacitly didn't say anything. They just looked at the light in front of them and walked forward mechanically, not daring to look back.
The footsteps behind them and the shadows under their feet showed no sign of stopping. When they finally saw the buildings in the town, they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, there was no one on the town streets. They continued walking at their previous pace until they reached the gate of Devon. The guard took the pass from Zhang Wei, looked behind them, and said with a smile:
"Where did you bring this little cutie from?"
Zhang Wei turned around stiffly, only to discover that the terrifying animal that had frightened them all the way was actually a tiny puppy that was no taller than their knees...
