Chapter Fourteen Homecoming

Shen Rui quickly put this episode of the monster's sneak attack into the back of his mind and continued to read the book seriously.

Before, he couldn't believe that he still had the guts to stay in this classroom, but now he felt it was normal.

If you don't stay here, where can you hide? In fact, the school is already one of the safest places in the castle.

More than ten minutes later, three classmates pushed open the door and entered the classroom. There was still a lot of blood on their uniforms.

"Wang Yan is really unlucky. He has only been in this class for two days and is about to drop out."

"Hmph, it's good that he's not dead. Fortunately, he's a blood-sucking blood crow, not a brain-eating nighthawk."

"He doesn't have the luck of others. A single attack can damage his vital parts. How can he still practice? He can't even recover for a year."

The three classmates returned to their seats grumbling, but not long after, they got up and left the classroom, as if they did not dare to stay in the classroom any longer.

Shen Rui guessed that they went to the playground. There were many students there and there were teachers on duty at night. The large number of people always brought a sense of security.

It's just that Shen Rui doesn't think so. With more people, the goal is bigger.

He thought for a while and continued to read.

However, a doubt he had before resurfaced: why did he encounter two strange attacks in one day?

He checked through the memories in his mind. In the past, as long as he lived in the castle, the chance of encountering strange monsters was still very low.

There are high walls to prevent those powerful monsters from entering, and there are guards who regularly patrol the castle to clean it up.

As for the flying monsters, they are only a minority after all. Unless there is an outbreak of strange waves, the number flying into the city every day will be lower than the guards' ability to clean them up.

This is just like the previous life. If the protection of birds had not become more and more popular among the people, even the sparrows would have become extinct in many places.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui secretly increased his vigilance.

He looked around and felt that his eyesight had become very good during the day. After the "tracking" skill took effect just now, he suddenly remembered that this was not simply due to his eyesight.

He opened the game panel and the "Personal" menu.

"Mount and Blade" Skills Team Skill "Reconnaissance: Level 15, each point increases the team's reconnaissance range by 10%."

In other words, with the same vision, hearing, and smell, his observation range is 150% higher than others, which is 2.5 times farther than others!

This was probably the reason why he could hear a distant scream in the morning, but no one else in the classroom felt it.

As for Teacher Liu, he may have heard it, but he still has to attend class and will not divert his energy.

Shen Rui subconsciously looked out the window again. Through the broken glass, he could see that it was pitch black outside, with only scattered starlight falling. It was a moonless night.

It's very quiet outside, with the occasional wind blowing. It's the beginning of the school season in September, and it's already a bit cold due to the lack of sunlight.

Time passed slowly with Shen Rui on high alert, and finally nothing unusual happened again.

At this time, the bell for the end of evening self-study had already rang.

Shen Rui looked up at the grandfather clock in front of him. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and it was time for self-study next night.

He greeted Sun Huang and prepared to ride home.

In his previous life, his family came from a rural area. When he went to high school in the city, he naturally had to live on campus. Living on campus was a pleasant experience, but the university was fine. Whoever lived there knew who lived in middle school or high school. Noise at night was a big problem.

Coupled with the stress of studying, insomnia was a common thing for him throughout high school.

In this life, most of the residents lived in the castle and would only go out to farm during the day when it was safer. The same was true for his family, which saved him the pain of living on campus.

Green and environmentally friendly bicycles are the main means of transportation for castle residents. They can expand the range of activities to within 20 kilometers of the castle, which is exactly the one-hour riding distance for ordinary people.

No matter how far you go, it will be difficult to return in time if you encounter danger.

Of course, those with first-level physical skills can ride at a speed of more than 40 kilometers an hour, and their range of activities is much wider. Even for farming, they can go further and occupy more fields.

This is the reason for the different treatment levels. The higher the physical skills, the wider the range of activities, and the stronger the ability to create wealth.

Shen Rui and Sun Huang picked up their bicycles from the bicycle shed downstairs and went out from the south gate of the school along the road. After saying goodbye to each other, they went their separate ways.

Shen Rui's new home lives east of the castle, only 2 kilometers away from the school.

The high school is located in the center of the castle, and the entire castle is approximately 5 kilometers in diameter.

After the end of the world, the population has been greatly reduced. The entire castle has only 63,000 people. Compared with the population of more than 500,000 and hundreds of square kilometers in the previous life, both the population and the urban area have been reduced significantly.

Shen Rui left the south gate and rode quickly on the bumpy road. With the help of some dim street lights and good vision, he didn't have to worry about falling down.

Along the way, he saw four teams of patrolling guards on the highway. They were all lined up in a row with solemn expressions and holding black spears. They looked quite elite, which reassured him a lot.

Maybe what happened in school today was just a coincidence.

The growth of his physique allowed him to ride at a very fast speed. If the road had not been very good, he would have been confident that he could ride at the speed of a motorcycle.

It took him less than 5 minutes to travel 2 kilometers to a somewhat dilapidated residential community in his memory. Relying on the dim street lights and starlight, he repeatedly confirmed the name Fengming Villa on the community sign.

The name is very impressive, just like in his memory, and his new home is located in Unit 501, Building 5, Unit 1 of this community. He quickly found the place.

The building in the community has 7 floors. There is no elevator. In fact, no one lives in the high-rise buildings. There is nothing else, so it is inconvenient to escape.

He climbed up the stairs, found his door, took out his key and opened the door.

As soon as he turned the key, he heard his mother's familiar voice.

"Golden Egg, is that you?" A middle-aged woman's earnest voice came from the security door.

There are two black lines hanging on Shen Rui's forehead. This nickname has not been heard for more than ten years.

At least he hasn't heard of it since he went to college.

"Mom, it's me." He said as he opened the door and saw his parents in this life.

There were no lights on at home, only an oil candle was lit in the living room. The light was dim, but he could still see the other person clearly.

A middle-aged woman with gray hair on her temples and a weathered face has an expectant smile on her face.

The two memories overlapped instantly, and the parents in this life looked older than the previous one...

Tears welled up in his eyes, and then he pressed it hard again.

"You must be hungry after studying so late. I boiled two eggs for you as a midnight snack. Eat them quickly." Mother Shen took his hand and walked into the living room.

"Well, I got it. Mom, please rest early. You don't have to wait for me anymore. You have to get up early in the morning." Shen Rui ordered.

"I can't sleep that much, so you should eat quickly and go to bed early." Mother Shen said nonchalantly.

Shen Rui's tears finally shed.
