A live stream that dramatically transformed a depressed schoolgirl shocked netizens across the count

On the second-floor corridor, Zhao Daqiang gripped the stainless steel railing tightly with both hands.

The fingernail dug into the metal gap, oozing bright red blood.

He leaned most of his body out over the railing and watched helplessly as the kid slammed into the roof of the car while holding the person.

The heavy, bulletproof armored hatch slid open, swallowing the two men and then clamping them shut tightly.

Immediately afterwards, the steel behemoth below roared with a deafening engine roar, the powerful sound shaking the glass of the connecting corridor.

"Damn it! That little brat actually ran away!" Zhao Daqiang pulled his fingers out of the gap and slammed his fist hard on the railing, causing his hand to split open on the spot.

The seven or eight burly men behind him looked at each other, all rooted to the spot by the oppressive presence of the heavy truck, and none of them dared to mention going downstairs to chase after it.

In mid-air, the suspended live-streaming sphere faithfully recorded this scene.

After a brief lull in the chat, the live stream exploded with activity.

[Aaaaaaaahh ...

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! A leap of faith! A textbook example of a two-person leap of faith!!!]

[Ubisoft rushed to send money overnight after seeing this! Even Assassin's Creed wouldn't dare design levels like this! Lang Ge is awesome (voice cracks)!!!]

I have goosebumps all over! Mom, I'm watching a fairy!

[450,000 people witnessed it! He jumped into a multi-million dollar armored vehicle while holding the school beauty! What kind of cyberpunk apocalypse elopement drama is this?!]

The number of online users is rapidly approaching the 500,000 mark at a rate of thousands per second.

The scene shifts back to the car interior, where the highest level of airtight locking mechanism clicks.

The wailing of police cars and Zhao Daqiang's impotent rage were completely shut out by the steel barrier at this moment.

The car's air circulation system operates quietly, emitting a very faint white noise.

The amber-colored ambient light strips illuminated, casting a warm and tranquil glow.

Chen Lang held Shen Qingci and stood steadily on the mezzanine buffer platform, the military airbags beneath their feet emitting a faint hissing sound as they slowly rebounded.

"We're home." Chen Lang, panting heavily, loosened his grip and put the person down.

Shen Qingci's ankles were still a little weak, but her clear, cold eyes shone brightly in the dim light.

There was no panic of surviving a disaster, but rather a secret excitement of tearing apart the cage.

She looked down at the spacious main living area below through the blast-proof glass floor.

Leather sofas, solid wood bar counters—here there is no hysterical control, only absolute safety and freedom.

"What are you standing there for?"

Chen Lang stepped onto the narrow metal ladder on the side and nimbly slid down to the cockpit level.

He reached out and patted the large, soft, aviation-grade leather seat in the passenger seat.

"Sit down and fasten your seatbelt."

He pulled on the driver's seatbelt and fastened it with a "click," looking at Shen Qingci, who was still standing there.

His signature roguish smile returned, and his dark eyes beneath his tousled hair were deep and resolute.

"Hold on tight, my little princess."

"Brother Lang will take you for a race."

The title "little princess" made her heart flutter, recalling the scene of her leaping through the air in the mall just now.

She didn't say anything, and quickly went down the narrow ladder to the cockpit.

Sinking herself into the soft passenger seat, the feeling of being enveloped in security brought tears to her eyes.

The seatbelt was pulled over and "clicked" into place.

The crisp click of the lock seemed to sever all the bloody ties she had formed over the past eighteen years.

Her breathing calmed down.

Chen Lang sat down, his long, slender hands resting on the mechanically-looking steering wheel.

At the same time, pale blue notifications from the system flashed across Chen Lang's retina.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for breaking through the encirclement. Your current shock value has exceeded the critical point. Reputation points: 48,000!]

[The first stage of the main quest "Redemption: The Puppet" has been completed, rewarding you with the permanent "God-Level Driving Mastery".]

A massive amount of vehicle control data and muscle memory instantly flooded into my mind.

Chen Lang glanced at the electronic rearview mirror, his fingers tightened around the steering wheel, and he slammed his right foot down on the accelerator.

"boom--!!!"

The heavy truck, weighing over twenty tons, roared furiously.

Eight heavy off-road tires rubbed against the granite of the square, emitting a pungent smell of burning rubber, and the enormous torque crushed the paving stones, causing them to crack and crumble.

Amidst the flying debris, this steel behemoth smashed through the edge of the stone pillars and ruthlessly merged into the main road of Jiangcheng, transforming into two scarlet taillights that plunged into the night.

One minute later.

"Huff... huff..."

Zhao Daqiang and his men, panting and stumbling, rushed out of the main entrance on the first floor of the mall.

However, the empty square was devoid of any sign of life, except for the paving stones crushed to dust and two deep, violent wheel tracks.

In the distance, in the darkness of the night, the apocalyptic behemoth didn't even let them taste its exhaust fumes.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Zhao Daqiang let out a desperate roar, his legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the rubble, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

The seven or eight burly men behind him were deathly pale and trembling.

"Clang..."

A thug, his hand trembling, threw the steel baton into the nearby trash can.

He lowered his head, rubbed his hands together, pretended to be passing by, and didn't dare to utter a sound.

The live stream completely spiraled out of control.

The gift effects and bullet comments nearly paralyzed the screen.

[They ran away! They really ran away! Half a million people watched as Brother Lang and the school beauty disappeared into the distance!]

Holy crap! That acceleration from a standstill! A 20-ton armored vehicle shattered the paving stones with its acceleration?! That's fucking brutal!

[Hahaha, look at how Zhao Laoda charged out! He didn't even manage to grab a taillight. I could laugh for a whole year at his impotent rage!]

So, are we really going to take this heavy truck on a road trip with the school beauty tomorrow? A lone man and woman? A campervan? I'm going to set an alarm clock right now!

Inside the car, the violent acceleration during startup was largely mitigated by the chassis suspension.

Chen Lang controlled the steering wheel with one hand, while his other hand made a casual gesture in mid-air.

"brush--"

The holographic HUD head-up display lights up.

Vehicle status, chassis height, route planning, and real-time satellite maps are simultaneously projected onto the inside of the bulletproof windshield.

A 2,000-kilometer route stretching from Jiangcheng to Dali in Yunnan is laid out on the windshield, with the destination marked precisely on the shore of Erhai Lake.

Chen Lang turned to the still-operating floating live-streaming sphere, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Everyone, tonight's 'The Failed Student's Ultimate Escape Debut' has come to an end."

He held up two fingers in a V-sign, his tone relaxed: "Next stop, Erhai Lake in Dali. Before sunset the day after tomorrow, your Brother Lang will be taking your school beauty on a trip to Erhai Lake."

He paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly beneath his tousled hair, and added with a roguish grin, "If you want to see if she smiled along the way, remember to keep an eye on her."

With a flick of the finger, the light from the levitating ball faded, and the live stream froze on a satellite image of the destination of the heavy truck's holographic navigation—the Cangshan Erhai Lake—before the signal was interrupted.

The car became completely quiet.

Chen Lang turned his head and found that Shen Qingci was staring at him.

The dim light from the watch face shone on her pale face, reflecting a faint trace of blood.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Lang asked lazily, his eyes fixed ahead.

"Never seen such a handsome benefactor before?"

Shen Qingci quickly turned her head to look out the window, where the neon lights of Jiangcheng rushed past on the glass.

Several seconds passed before a very soft voice drifted over.

"……Thanks."

Chen Lang chuckled softly as the heavy truck drove onto the intercity expressway ramp.

"What are you thanking me for? I told you your life is under my control."

He reached into the central storage compartment, pulled out a strawberry lollipop, unwrapped it with one hand, and tossed it onto her lap.

"Next. From now on, Jiangcheng only deserves to stay in your rearview mirror; Dali is ahead."

Shen Qingci picked up the pink candy and put it in her mouth.

The sweet taste of strawberries melted in her mouth. She curled up her legs, rested her chin on her knees, turned her head to the side, leaned against the headrest of the seat, and closed her eyes.

Her tense shoulders finally relaxed completely, and a tiny smile appeared on her lips that she herself didn't even notice.

Chen Lang glanced at the passenger seat out of the corner of his eye and silently pressed down on the accelerator.

The headlights cleaved through the dark highway, carrying the two of them into the open fields leading south.

……

On the Internet.

The top three trending topics on the entire internet were dominated by three incredibly popular "hot" keywords.

Weibo's servers were on the verge of crashing several times.

#Hunky Man Jumps Off Bridge and Performs Parkour Escape from Mall with School Beauty#

#A multi-million dollar doomsday armored heavy truck spotted in Wuhan#

#A student with a score of 250 who failed his exams eloped with a flower-covered RV from a branch school with a score of 720!#

Real-time readership surpasses 200 million!

The comment section went completely crazy:

"Who would understand?! A student who scored 250 points on the college entrance exam drives a multi-million dollar truck and elopes with a girl from a 720-school district—even Jinjiang novels wouldn't dare write something like that!!"

"That guy's final armored vehicle drift wasn't just crushing paving stones, it was crushing twenty years of my pride!"

"What time does it start airing tomorrow? I'm skipping class just to watch the pure love story of the war god taking his little princess on a road trip!"

The entire internet is in an uproar.
