Chapter 13: "So what kind of animal are you?"

The sky began to overcast in the evening, the cicadas chirped under the windless trees, and humidity built up in the hot air. At night, the rain still hasn't fallen, but the cicadas chirp louder and louder, like a prelude to distant thunder.

"This day is too stuffy." Junchi Li sits under the bed, hits a basin of cold water and puts it on the floor, and every once in a while takes the towel off her body and runs it through the cold water, wringing it out and then hitching it to her body to continue cooling down.

Feiyu Ren lies on her stomach on the mat of the upper bunk, one hand holding up the hippest little colorful backlit handheld fan with strong wind blowing in her face, the other hand holding up her koi-cased cell phone to swipe the news, and if she doesn't get it, she asks, "What's the meaning of this 'animality' ah?"

Wu Lin had no small electric fan, and had to cling to the railing of his bed to draw in the meager breeze from an old-fashioned roof fan, all the while really clicking in for a closer look at that latest Feiyu Ren report with only a scanned headline, "It says that these anomalous variations are not random and irregular, but rather heterogeneous along a particular animalistic... ..."

"And many of the anomalies have different animal natures?" Yang Xia, sitting in the center of the room, facing the ceiling fan, hoping to be near the water and get the wind, had now seen the detailed explanation part of the report, and was so shocked that she simply read from the press release, "Study finds that different anomalies tend to present vastly different animalistic natures ...... "

"In the case of Mr. Li of Jilin, who once subdued several mountain hogs with one person's bare hands, and Ms. Zhao of Beijing, who held her breath underwater for 42 minutes, Mr. Li developed some bear-like behavioral habits and preferences after being admitted to the hospital, while Ms. Zhao's physical anomalies revealed increasing amphibian characteristics... ..."

Yang Xia read, first read himself panic: "This is the winter months non-naked outwardly upside down also head into the snow rolled for three days and three nights - to crazy ah."

333 The four of them didn't do anything else these nights, as soon as they got back to the dormitory they were neatly swiping their cell phones, checking reports about the latest progress in the study of physical anomalies, and having relevant discussions until lights out. The steamer-like dormitory can't even stop their commitment, and this is the level of seriousness in preparing for the final exam.

"A human being is a human being, how can he turn into an animal?" Feiyu Ren still finds it hard to accept this reality.

"Brother you don't summarize yourself blindly ah," Junchi Li said, "you don't see it written at the back, although the anomalies show animal characteristics, but the original personality and preferences of the anomalies did not change substantially, at most, it is just a little bit of animalism added to the original basis. "

"You can think of it another way," Wu Lin says, "People are animals, so maybe these are ancient human traits that have been reactivated in the anomalies."

Feiyu Ren : "So what kind of animality am I being activated for?"

This soulful question brought a sudden silence to the air.

The report on "animal nature" had just come out, so the three of them hadn't really had time to apply it to Feiyu Ren. In addition, Feiyu Ren's behavior these days is really more like a normal person than a normal person, and the so-called "abnormality" has never appeared again. Sometimes Wu Lin and the others can't help but wonder if the "weird fall" that night could be their collective blurring of the eyes.

"Don't keep quiet, you guys," Feiyu Ren waited with bated breath for half a day, and after much hesitation, decided to come clean, "Even though I can't dance my way out of that night's majesty any more, I've actually noticed something else unusual in myself over the past few days... ..."

Wu Lin froze, "Huh?"

Junchi Li's eyes widened, "What?"

Yang Xia's rip-off: "What the hell are you talking about?"

Now they were and are not hot and disheveled, and all three souls are in full spirit.

Facing the extremely intimidating aura of her brothers, Feiyu Ren couldn't help but feel weak and backward, until her back was pressed against the wall, before she spoke with difficulty, "Actually, that, I'm ......"

Wu Lin, Yang Xia, Junchi Li: "Say, re, point."

Feiyu Ren: "My eyesight has somehow gotten better, I used to sit in the last row of the classroom and have to squint to see the blackboard, but now I can see it very clearly at any time!"

Wu Lin: "No more?"

Feiyu Ren : "And jumping down from a high place, actually I secretly tried it a few times behind your back, but it wasn't the kind of jumping down, I didn't dare without you guys, it was just the normal jumping down from the wall ......"

Junchi Li : "And then?"

Feiyu Ren : "I realized that my feet didn't vibrate as much as they used to when I landed, and it was the same for several tries, so I think the body may still have an automatic deceleration, it's just not obvious, that's why I didn't notice it the other day when we were experimenting."

Yang Xia: "Well, you're a confirmed mutant."

Feiyu Ren : "...... How many days have you been doubting me?"

"Who told you not to tell us anything, pretending to be more than normal." Wu Lin spat unmercifully while getting down from the top bunk with a sharp hand.

Feiyu Ren Hiding these for so many days was already apprehensive, and now once criticized, she wanted to cry even more: "Then I'm not afraid of affecting you guys ...... You're all relieved after a long time, and I'm coming back to these ...... "

"Too much thinking." Wu Lin who got out of bed couldn't bear to give him a blank look, but in the end, she was almost blinded by the colorful little electric fan, so she had to cover her eyes and gaze at Ren from the cracks of her fingers, "Even if you turn into a picture of a hundred beasts, you're still the most beautiful boy in 333, got it?"

Feiyu Ren tears abracadabra around the whole 333: "I love you all ......"

Wu Lin, Junchi Li, Yang Xia, being swept in circles by colorful lights: "......"

This dazzling love.

Wu Lin, who got out of bed, quickly sat down in front of the desk, turned out a pen and paper, and listed the several key points that Feiyu Ren had just said, one by one: "Good eyesight ...... landed on its own deceleration or cushioning ...... "

Yang Xia, who was sitting under the fan, also scooted her stool over, "There's also the aerial roll, don't forget the aerial roll at the very beginning ......"

"Most cat-like if you go by the way he acted the other night," Junchi Li said, not getting close but that engaged heart having long since spaced out, "I thought it was said that no matter how far down a cat falls, it can always twist itself upright in the air?"

--The three-person research team was quickly formed.

Yang Xia : "The cat's paw with meat cushion also matches the cushioning effect of the landing."

Wu Lin : "But cats are very alert."

Junchi Li: "That can't be Yu Da, he's so slow."

Yang Xia: "And didn't he glide the other night, I watched him land in the center of the house in a diagonal line from the bed, cats don't glide."

Wu Lin : "To say gliding, that leaves only birds or some specific animals that can glide, wait for me to check on my phone ......"

Yang Xia: "Birds do not, that still glide ah ah, direct flight does not smell well."

Junchi Li: "And the bird is so dexterous, don't you remember the times we tested it on clothes and quilts later, Yu Da bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam."

"Why haven't we found out that animals can glide yet?" Yang Xia couldn't wait any longer and crowded next to Wu Lin, staring at his ever-sliding cell phone screen.

Wu Lin is already fast, with pages swishing on and off and messages memorized.

Yang Xia realized that Wu Lin was not just checking a few webpages, he was looking for rigorous information.

In admiration, he realized that Wu Lin, who was wandering in the sea of knowledge, seemed to be very happy, humming a little song as he got deeper into his knowledge.

Yang Xia really didn't want to eavesdrop this time, but the two of them were too close.

Wu Lin's overflowing Indian ditty instantly drilled into his ears, "How cold it is~I'm playing in the mud in northeast~although northeast isn't big~I don't have a home in Dalian~~"

Yang Xia: "......"

How tempted is he to get so close.

"Almost there," the humming interrupted, Wu Lin, who had collected a bunch of information, finally came to a more secure conclusion, "It should be a membranous mammal, that is, there's a layer of cortical membrane on both sides of the body like a sail, which allows them to glide down from the air, such as flying monkeys, flying squirrels, and this kind of thing, like the current The honeybush flying squirrel, which many people will go to keep as pets, is one of them."

Junchi Li : "And do their habits have anything in common with Yu Da, other than gliding?"

Wu Lin: "Gutsy."

Yang Xia: "It's Yu Da."

Junchi Li : "This is it."

Feiyu Ren, who has been silently watching the whole thing, is having a hard time remaining docile: "Are you guys working together or are you organizing a group to hack me ......"

Yang Xia's cell phone suddenly beeped with a low battery alert, and he got up and went back to bed to look for the charger.

Junchi Li only felt that a figure in the afterglow suddenly passed by, and then looked up, Yang Xia was on the bed. The ladder leading to the upper bunk, Yang Xia at most just stepped on a foot, people use the force to jump up.

"You're superb at this," Junchi Li teased, "maybe I'll unload this ladder of yours tomorrow."

Yang Xia is usually very flexible, today may be listening to Wu Lin's song, the state is particularly good, sniffing immediately dejected up: "I also want to be low-key, but the strength does not allow ah, who can understand my decathlon in the dragon phoenix of the pain."

Junchi Li : "...... you come down, I promise I won't beat you up."

Yang Xia Le, while stinking of poverty, plugged in the charger and was just about to connect the phone, when a new message popped up at the top of the screen, a headline just pushed out by a news app-

Shocking discovery! The body mutation outbreak situation overlapped perfectly with the trend map of the fog spreading across the globe at the beginning of the month!

Wu Lin, who has the same app, also saw the push.

He subconsciously clicked in--

DETAILS: This unexplained physical mutation swept across the globe in a short period of time, as did the fog at the beginning of the month. Some scientists have compared the graphs of the two spreading trends across the globe and surprisingly found a surprising overlap.

[Figure 1] This is a graph of the trend of body mutations that have erupted globally in the last half-decade.

[Figure 2] This is a graph of the trend of the fog that swept across the globe over three days at the beginning of the month.

Although the two spread and proliferate at different rates, a comparison reveals that the global outbreak of body mutations follows exactly the trajectory of the fog at the beginning of the month.

Scientists from many countries have expressed concern that if a causal relationship is ultimately proven to exist between the two, then everyone who was in the fog at the beginning of the month may not be able to escape, and this physical mutation could become a global catastrophe.

Wu Lin was stunned to see the end, and his mind went blank.

There was a sudden clap of thunder outside the window, like a long suppressed giant roaring on the other side of the sky.

The winds are howling and the last of the late summer storms, are here.

"This is a lot of rain." Dormitory 509, Sijie Yuan, who had just finished replying to the message, put down her cell phone and closed the window halfway, leaving a gap to ventilate the room without letting too much rainwater beat in.

"I saw the weather report, it's going to rain for at least two days, and then it's going to cool down," Liang Ge sat on the bed, practically wanting to throw his arms up in the air and celebrate, "Holy shit, it's going to cool down-- "

"Don't talk about useless things," Ye Wang urged him, "continue with that."

"Oooooh," Liang Ge hastily looks down at his phone screen and continues his science, "'Animalistic' means that every anomaly exhibits ...... "

In a dormitory where 3/4 of the members lack curiosity and passion for the world, Liang Ge has decided to take on the role of "Daily News Popularizer", spreading information about body mutations to the dormitory on a daily basis, more diligent than a small bee.

But usually it was Sijie Yuan who supported him during the counseling sessions, although the latter would also be busy chatting on WeChat. Today, however, Ye Wang is the main supporter, and Liang Ge strongly suspects that this "animalistic" development is more to his liking.

"So it's that mutants all have some sort of animalistic nature?" Ye Wang probably understood.

"Yeah," Liang Ge says, "things like motor nerves, ah, habit preferences, all go in the direction of that animal, but not to the extent that it should be, or the original human behavioral habits dominate."

Ye Wang nodded, in a rare moment of contemplation.

After a while, he suddenly asked Liang Ge, "So what kind of animal are you?"
