Chapter 100: Final Preparations
330 kg! That's 30 kilograms more than his previous pre-world best at Resident Evil. Even for his current super physique, it was extremely challenging. Before this, Shen Chao had only used such a heavy barbell in squat training, but now he is doing a clean and jerk, and this strength requirement has been directly raised to a higher level.
But as the saying goes, there is a first time for everything. Shen Chao rubbed magnesium powder on the palms of his hands, and then posed on this small weight bench and grasped the barbell steadily. Looking at the handle of the barbell, he took a few deep breaths, and then looked at Custer next to him. Custer gave him an OK gesture, Shen Chao saw this, cleared his distracting thoughts, controlled the strength of his whole body, gritted his teeth and pulled up the barbell in his hand. It was lifted to his chest very smoothly.
The barbell in his hand looked extremely heavy just because of the heavy barbell pieces at both ends bent slightly, not to mention Shen Chao who was lifting. He adjusted his breathing again, then jerked up. After a coordinated burst of force, the heavy barbell was finally lifted over the top of his head.
He then held steady for two long seconds, and then, almost immediately, after Custer gave the signal that he could put down, he lowered his arm and threw the barbell to the ground. There was a heavy thud on the ground, as if the super-thick double floor was about to burst at any moment. Luckily, the wood floors are among the thickest on the market, and they've survived the impact.
"You've just broken the last record, man. Custer shook his hand and congratulated, he didn't say anything about the world record, because Shen Chao had already broken that record. The barbell that Shen Chao lifted just now weighed 330 kilograms, far exceeding the known physical endurance limit of an ordinary person of his weight. At this time, if he participates in the Olympic Games, he will definitely be able to come back with a weightlifting gold medal without any suspense.
"Wow, looks like my boyfriend is Hercules (Hercules in Greek mythology)!" Alice sat on a sit-up machine next to her. She said as she bit a straw and sucked on a glass of milk. While speaking, she also stretched out her little arm to make a gesture to show off her muscles, which looked like she was mocking Shen Chao for being such a big man, but her strength was not stronger than her.
"Oh, and what should I do with my Migra (the wife of Hercules in mythology)? I should have carried her home......" Shen Chao walked into Alice with a smile, he stretched out his big hand and tried to grab Alice, but Alice, who had already recognized his intentions, just avoided him with a nimble dodge.
The two then played hide and seek here. Shen Chao kept running forward and backward, trying to catch Alice, who was faster than him in speed and reaction, and Alice was like a nimble rabbit, tossing and dodging between the gym equipment, making Shen Chao return again and again in vain. Leaving Custer to look at the two of them and lament that their base has become a playground for children.
In the end, Shen Chao seized the opportunity near a treadmill, and all of a sudden Alice fell to the ground. Alice struggled a little and then smiled and kissed him, and the two of them made out here as if no one was around. Seeing this, Custer could only reluctantly terminate the training. He couldn't stand it anymore.
"Enough of you two, look at the occasion a little, I'm still here!" Although his words are sharp, there is more helplessness in his tone, and less criticism.
"Alright, we should let Custer focus on training, baby. Shen Chao saw that Custer was not really angry, so he lowered his head and said to Alice under him with a smile.
"We don't have to bother him, I'm sure you can ......figure it out," Alice said seductively, turning her beautiful green eyes. …,
"Go to my room?" Shen Chao naturally sensed her temptation and asked as he put his hand on her hips.
"No, go to my room, I haven't really lived there yet...... Alice said and hooked her two long legs around Shen Chao's waist, making it clear that he would carry him away.
"As you wish, my lady. Shen Chao didn't have much effort to stand up with her, and Alice hung on him like a koala. After saying hello to Custer, he rushed back to the living quarters with Alice in his arms.
"Unbelievable......" After seeing them leave, Custer gave such a comment, and I don't know if he was talking about the speed at which the two stuck together or complaining about the couple's unrestrainedness.
In the living quarters, in Alice's room, the two staged the Spring Palace drama again, only this time they were not as eager as they were at the beginning, and they both knew that they had a whole day to linger. Their battle lasted a long time......
When it was almost dark in the afternoon, Shen Chao and Alice flirted all the way out of the room. They started cooking dinner in the kitchen. Of course, it was mainly Shen Chao who was doing it, and Alice was just watching the Chinese food on the side. There is no doubt that just like Chinese, how to cook Chinese food is also very profound in the eyes of pure Westerners like Alice.
"No, you can't boil the pot yet. Shen Chao hurriedly stopped Alice, who was about to open a casserole that was serving on a low fire on the stove. Stewed in it is a lamb chop of a top-quality lamb, which he ordered directly by mail from herdsmen in Qinghai and Tibet. In total, the lamb chops, which were only about 5 kilograms, cost him more than 1,000 soft sister coins. Therefore, correspondingly, this pot of pork ribs stall is definitely expensive, and it must not be broken when it is half done.
"What's the matter, I just want to see if it's okay." Alice didn't understand that this was not something that could be done halfway.
"This is not a French soup, baby, we need to be patient......" Shen Chao let go of the several frying pans he was managing, carefully pulled Alice away, and his hand was still very dishonest on her buttocks. Alice slapped his hand away and reminded him to let him continue cooking dinner. The two of them teased each other and finished their dinner.
At dinner, Custer brought some not very good news, and after two days of fermentation, Alice's identity still attracted the attention of many netizens. Some completely unreliable conspiracy theories have appeared in a foreign fan forum, even if this is Mira's long-lost sister. This view is shared.
Alice didn't seem too worried about this argument, as Shen Chao always seemed to be able to solve such "small" problems. And Shen Chao doesn't seem to care. Because in fact, he doesn't care about the opinions of netizens at all. After all, if the opinions of netizens were really important, the world would have been a different place long ago.
"WE NEED TO QUICKLY SET UP A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT FOR ALICE AND LET HER REFUTE THE RUMORS HERSELF." Custer was calmer, because Alice's papers were ready. Unless a crowd offensive + a heavy bounty is launched, Alice's current identity is unassailable. Still, out of prudence, he hopes to do something remedial to reduce the impact of this public opinion.
"What do you think, baby? Shen Chao asked while helping Alice make soup with a big spoon.
"What is it?" Alice took a bowl of pork rib soup with a rich meat aroma and asked, although she had been introduced by Shen Chao, she was still not familiar with many details of this world. After all, what they have done the most in the past two days is to pop, and there is very little background introduction.
"Well, we'll talk about it later......" Shen Chao thought for a moment, as if it would take a lot of time to explain this, and these excellent bone broth couldn't wait that long. And just like that, several people once again ignored the potential threat from netizens and focused on enjoying their sumptuous dinner. …,
In fact, according to the noon plan, they will cross tonight, which is why Shen Chao is willing to go to such a great trouble to make such a big pot of hot pork rib soup, their destination will soon usher in a super rainstorm, and they can be regarded as warming up in advance.
After dinner, Shen Chao did not make preparations as nervously as usual, he took Alice to slowly disperse around the periphery of the base, which was a desolate suburb of the city, except for the lights of a village in the distance and a few security lights outside the warehouse, it was almost completely dark.
The air here is much better than in the city, making it a great place to take a walk after a meal. But even outside such a remote city, the starry sky at night is very dim. This is the result of years of industrialization, Shen Chao remembers the beautiful night sky full of stars when he was a child. The two of them walked around the dirt road near the base.
"Are we going to live like this?" I mean, live quietly here, and then, every now and then, go out and take risks? Alice took his hand and asked, Shen Chao could hear the anticipation in her tone, mainly about a peaceful life.
"Of course, as long as we keep a low profile, we can leave all the trouble to the agent. Then we just need to get ready from time to time, travel through it, get some good equipment and technological materials, and then we can live a leisurely life like this. ”
"Of course, when we go out, we may encounter some dangers and see all kinds of amazing people and things. Isn't it great, though, at least this kind of journey made me meet you......" Shen Chao said with the nice words that could come to mind as he coaxed, he knew that women were sensual creatures, and he could solve most problems just by coaxing them.
"You're again... Lie, but... I like it. Alice could tell that he was just coaxing herself, but she didn't get angry, instead, she just pulled Shen Chao's head and kissed him. The kiss was almost fleeting. It doesn't seem to be magical, but as a party, Shen Chao's feelings are very special.
