Chapter 15: "I sang at night?"
It rained for two full days.
Wu Lin sat in the classroom, propped his head on his hand and stared out the window.
The sound of the incessant rain seemed to be the background sound of the whole world, monotonous and sleepy.
"Wu Lin, Wu Lin?"
Thoughts that were about to drift away were suddenly pulled back by a voice in his ear.
Wu Lin a moment of sobriety, only to realize that the class has already ended, many students are packing up things to the classroom outside.
The one who called out to him was Chacha Deng, the class president, who by now had come to his table with his bag on his back, "PPT for you?"
Wu Lin didn't respond, "What?"
"Group work," Chacha Deng tilted her head to look at him, her sharp ponytail swaying with her, "don't you contract PPTs all the time?"
Chacha Deng definitely didn't mean to push the task onto Wu Lin, and in fact she was perfectly fine with doing the PPT, but Wu Lin's passion for PPT was recognized by the entire Ringmaster 1.
From freshman year to now, as long as it is a group assignment, no matter who is assigned to a group, Wu Lin will take the initiative to take on the final PPT production task, and the PPT he made is exquisite but will not overshadow the main focus, often achieving the win-win effect of "highlighting the knowledge points + visual enjoyment".
There was even a time when one of the teachers let out a complicated sigh of "This content of your homework with this PPT is a bit of a waste".
"Oh yeah, group work," Wu Lin finally vaguely remembers, after the class monitor reminds her, that the teacher had just assigned this in class, "PPT for me, no problem."
The PPT was fine, but Chacha Deng always felt that there was something wrong with Wu Lin: "Have you been staying up late lately?"
Wu Lin: "Huh?"
"You've been acting like you haven't woken up in class for the past two days." As a "comrade-in-arms" in the first row, Chacha Deng had never seen Wu Lin like this.
Wu Lin is indeed unable to sleep at night and always sleepy during the day lately, and can only scratch his head awkwardly at this moment, "Maybe a little bit too much stress."
Chacha Deng had a look on his face and stopped pursuing the matter.
Everyone knows what's been happening lately.
The squad leader on this side had just left, and the three brothers in the back row came over there.
"It's turning into Animal World, and we still have to do our homework," Junchi Li bemoaned, "We're so hard."
"Because mutations don't kill people," Feiyu Ren's resignation has stabilized after so many days, "but not turning in group work really does."
The teacher of this course is the director of their environmental engineering department, surnamed Huang, extremely strict requirements, usually have a little performance is not good, the end of the term may give you a failing grade, as early as in the past elder siblings where there is a "old yellow expedition, grass does not grow" reputation.
The next class was in a different building, and Wu Lin packed his bag and headed out with his brothers.
They left the classroom late, and the corridors were already empty. Junchi Li and Feiyu Ren were still talking about their group work, as they had been assigned to a group and looked at each other as if their future was bleak.
Obviously, the two of them were having a heated discussion about "who is the worst of the worst", but Wu Lin still somehow felt a bit cold today, and when he turned his head and saw Yang Xia beside him, he finally realized what the problem was.
This guy is too quiet today.
"What's the matter," Wu Lin touched him with his arm, "lost in thought?"
Yang Xia turned her head, rarely downcast, her voice muffled: " Wu Lin , I may also ......"
Wu Lin paused on his feet.
"These two days I feel the body especially light, but also always want to move, sometimes in the class suddenly want to jump up, with the buttocks on the spring like," Yang Xia a confided, can not be put away, "and drink water, I have this day small mouth blatting you know, you have to take the water supply to moisturize the throat, but I didn't drink a mouthful of water from morning to night yesterday, but I didn't even call myself thirsty. ......"
Wu Lin listened, his heart sinking.
Although Yang Xia every sentence is "may", "feel", but after so many days, they all know in their hearts, once you feel that everything seems to be wrong, then it is hanging.
After Yang Xia finished speaking, he realized that Junchi Li and Feiyu Ren were also looking at him, obviously having heard him.
Junchi Li 还好, Feiyu Ren ......
Yang Xia rolled her eyes and hit him on the head, "What's with that look on your face, I'm a mutation not a death in battle."
Feiyu Ren aggrieved and covered his head, but did not forget to help analyze with the experience of his predecessor: "Light, always want to jump high, so what kind of animal can it be ......"
Junchi Li : "Love to jump that's a kangaroo."
Wu Lin shook his head, "Kangaroos are powerhouses, an adult kangaroo can knock out a strong man with one punch."
Junchi Li immediately realized, "That can't be Yang Xia, with his small physique."
Wu Lin : "Right."
"If it's not thirsty," Feiyu Ren guessed tentatively, "could it be a desert animal?"
Junchi Li: "Camels? But camels don't like to jump, and the character of hardworking doesn't match Yang Xia at all, right?"
"There aren't many desert animals," Wu Lin searched his knowledge base on the fly, "Besides camels, the common ones are lizards, scorpions, and rattlesnakes ......"
Yang Xia: "Can you pick something good for me!"
He understands how Feiyu Ren felt when she was hacked by a group a while ago.
As they spoke, the four of them had already walked out of the school building.
I don't know when the rain has become smaller, as light and fine as a cow's hair, falling on the face only a little bit of tide, falling on the body and even water marks are seemingly absent.
Wu Lin looked up, two days of dense clouds are a little bit dispersed, the end of the sky, a hint of translucent light gradually dyed over.
He suddenly felt an opening, and something weighing on his heart began to loosen.
Retracting his gaze, Wu Lin returned to the trio still studying the desert animals and asked, as if unintentionally, "What animalistic nature would you say a person could be if they suddenly ran faster than before?"
Junchi Li, who was in the midst of his research, immediately said, "Your range is too broad, right? Animals that can run are all over the world."
"Then add ...... endurance?" Wu Lin furthered, "It's just that running long distances doesn't seem as tiring as it used to be."
"Speed + endurance," Junchi Li summarized, "that's a lot, horses, donkeys, mules, antelopes ...... hares, too... If you can't run, how can you hide from predators?"
Feiyu Ren said, "It doesn't have to be herbivores, the documentary we watched yesterday, it said that wolves and hyenas have good stamina to catch prey."
--333 The dormitory has a strong learning atmosphere recently, and often collectively watch a variety of animal science films.
"What if not only can you run, but your teeth get better too?" Seeing that the discussion was still inconclusive, Wu Lin provided new information.
Yang Xia narrowed her eyes and surveyed him with skepticism ...... No, almost certainty: "Don't 'if' my brother, just say you are not asking for yourself?"
Wu Lin stubbornly locked eyes with him for three seconds, "Okay you win."
Feiyu Ren stared blankly, " Wu Lin ? You too ......"
Junchi Li was even more confused, "No, what's the situation?"
Four guys in the dorm, three mutants. What's up? Isolating him? That won't work!
Junchi Li: "In fact, I didn't tell you, I am also strange these two days, always want to gallop. How can I describe it to you? It's the kind of thing that makes me smile when I'm riding a red dust consort, and the iron horse ice river comes into my dream--"
Yang Xia: "Are these two lines of yours a poem?"
Junchi Li :"You first savor your peach blossom that day, a thousand feet deep, the dragonfly standing on the head ......"
Until arriving at the classroom for the next session, there was nothing significant to come out of the 333 workshop.
Wu Lin was seated in the first row as usual.
Yang Xia, after much deliberation, stopped by his side before walking to the back of the classroom and suggested pertinently, "If you can't think of an animal that has speed and endurance, then change the qualification."
Wu Lin raised his eyes in confusion, "?"
Yang Xia patted him on the shoulder, "Think about it animals love to sing at night."
Wu Lin quickly responded, followed by a dismayed, "I sang at night?"
"The number of times it's been played, the sophistication of the song library, it's beyond imagination." Yang Xia was very serious, word for word.
Late September, more and more students appeared abnormal physical symptoms, although the degree is not high, rarely like the news reports, not moving to take a deep breath, underwater for half an hour, but the ugly room forum is still full of "mutation posting" burst, as far as the eye can see, all-- -
Thread: i seem like i'm mutating ......
Thread: it's over, I feel like a pig ......
Topic: can't guess what I am myself, but I'm definitely mutated
Topic: my dad, my mom, and my sister are all mutated, tired, destroyed
That night, the authorities released, through a live news broadcast, the most significant research progress since the outbreak of physical anomalies: our country has successfully confirmed the world's first case of animal sex in the gene activation region of a person with physical anomalies!
"...... We have successfully extracted the activated gene fragment of the abnormal person, and after detailed testing and comparison, we have confirmed that the direction of alienation is the Asian black bear ......"
The four people gathered around the tablet watching the live stream were quiet instead when they actually heard the final results.
These days, although everyone is discussing "animality", but "mutation = animalization" this matter, after all, the official did not stamp, but only "according to observation", It's still just "observed" and "widespread".
People always like to take chances, after all, no one wants to be living a good life and suddenly be told that you have to learn to live with the small part of the beast that has been inexplicably activated.
But today, all flukes are gone.
That's good.
It's like the second boot is finally on the ground and the people under the building are grounded.
The next day, the school held a second all-school assembly, but having learned from the first, it didn't make things difficult for the athletic field and switched to a live video conference.
On the screen, the old principal was a little more haggard than at the beginning of the month, but still serious and patient, emphasizing over and over again -
"Although it has been confirmed that it is an animalistic physical alienation, everyone should still keep their minds steady ......"
"We have many teachers who have adapted to their physical abnormalities and still continue to shine in their teaching positions as they once did, and the students can certainly do the same ......"
"Physical abnormalities will not affect your health, and I hope that you can stabilize your mind and still focus on your studies ......"
"Steady the Mind ......"
"Steady ......"
Wu Lin and the others were almost brainwashed by the word "stabilize" after the conference.
In the afternoon physical education class that day, Yang Xia casually warmed up, jumped up one meter and a half in place, the physical education teacher passed right in front of him, and almost got kicked off.
...... How does this treadmill stabilize?
On the last day of September, the global physical alienation that has been raging for nearly a month and is still spreading at a rapid pace finally got an official international name - the
Animality-awakening, abbreviated A-A.
In Chinese it is called: Wild Awakening.
