The Jingzhe solar term is often mentioned, but also often overlooked.
For most people in Yangcheng, they only find out when they check the weather forecast or the calendar - hey? The day with thunderstorm is Jingzhe!
No matter how much more there is, it’s gone.
Among the 24 solar terms, it has the least presence.
Before the Waking of Insects, there was only some light rain in Yangcheng, and as the Waking of Insects approached, the sun did not appear for very long.
The ungrounded tornado the day before Jingzhe caused a lot of discussion and was frequently mentioned until the next day, Jingzhe.
The gloomy sky did not bring a thunderstorm immediately.
People didn't think today was anything special, they just continued doing what they were doing.
I read the weather department's warnings and didn't take them seriously. It was just a thunderstorm. I got it! Don't send them one after another!
Beside Green Lake.
In a seemingly quiet house.
Feng Yi moved from the basement to the stone path in the middle of the night, but he didn't move much. He stood there in his original form, feeling the humidity of the air and the surrounding environment.
At times like this, instinct is the most reliable. Of course, you should follow your instinct and leave everything to it.
Feng Yi quietly sensed the space around him and outside.
not enough.
It's not time yet.
It seems like there is still a lack of energy and the surrounding environment is not suitable, so I need to accumulate it for a while.
Doctor Xiao Wu stood outside the stone path and did not follow in. He said he would not disturb Feng Yi, so he thought that standing here he should be able to observe the movements inside and achieve his goal.
I looked at the humidity display and found that the humidity here had increased compared to the morning. Moreover, the humidity near the stone path was higher than that in other parts of the house.
For ordinary people, staying in such a high humidity environment for a long time will definitely make them feel uncomfortable. However, Xiao Wu can still bear it. Even if he feels uncomfortable, it will only be for one day. He just needs to endure it. It's not like he has to stay in such an environment every day.
Inside the room, the housekeeper stood in front of the French window and did not go to the stone path.
The others also knew that today was a special day. It was Feng Yi’s birthday and also the time when Feng Yi shed his skin.
Xiaojia and the others were decorating the hall, and would celebrate Feng Yi's birthday after he finished shed his skin.
After Xiao Bing finished packing the ingredients, he wandered over to the housekeeper and looked out the window.
Standing here, you can only see the scenery of the courtyard, but you cannot see the stone path, let alone Feng Yi.
Xiao Bing was puzzled. "You have been watching here all the time, worried about the boss? Why don't you go to the stone path with Xiao Wu?"
The housekeeper still looked out the window and smiled, "I would like to go over there."
Xiao Bing poured a few cups of dehumidifying tea, one for each person in the room. Just as he was about to ask why, he heard the housekeeper say, "Pour a cup for Xiao Wu as well."
Xiao Bing wanted to say, "Xiao Wu has been staying outside and has no intention of coming in for tea." However, the housekeeper specifically mentioned this, so he casually poured another cup.
Maybe Xiao Wu will be thirsty outside later and come in for a cup of tea.
Xiao Ding was tying a balloon and said, "Didn't they say there would be a thunderstorm today? It hasn't rained yet, and I haven't heard any thunder."
Xiao Yi also said: "It's very humid, and it should rain heavily soon."
Xiaojia: "I just don't know when the rain will fall."
The housekeeper looked at the sky outside, walked to the side, adjusted the dehumidifier in the room, and then returned to the French window again, looking at the sky outside, as if whispering to himself, or as if talking to others:
"Have you ever heard of an old rumor?"
"When snakes come, rain comes."
—
In a seaside villa in a coastal city more than 100 kilometers south of Yangcheng.
A dozen young people were gathered together, playing and having fun. They were having a party here.
Originally they planned to go out to sea on a yacht today, but they received several warning text messages from the meteorological department early in the morning. They hesitated, but after discussion they felt that there was no big problem.
They turned off their cell phone positioning to prevent their location from being monitored, ignored the warning text messages, and drove out on a yacht.
As soon as they went out to sea, they were stopped by the Coast Guard.
We have no choice but to gather here.
There were also people barbecuing on the terrace outside, since it wasn't raining.
Several people in the room played games and chatted.
"The weather station just sent another thunderstorm warning text message! Is it necessary to be so nervous? It's not typhoon season now, just a little rain and a few thunders, what's the problem?"
"The weather station will definitely be nervous. They have long predicted that the climate will fluctuate in the next two years. There was even a tornado in Yangcheng yesterday."
"That's a shitty tornado. It didn't even take shape! I watched the most complete video yesterday and stared at it for 10 minutes. It just couldn't touch the ground. It was so frustrating that I wanted to pull it down!"
"Didn't the experts say that the failed grounding in Yangcheng yesterday wasn't a tornado? How could it be called a tubular cloud? It was just a special case, and there was only one. I want to see another one. Our sea is too boring. It's the same thing every day."
"Then you wait for the typhoon season. When the typhoon comes, it won't be boring anymore."
"Why should I? Typhoons happen every year, but tornadoes are different!"
As he was speaking, the man who was half-lying on the sofa with his legs crossed had his wine glass tremble in his hand, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he raised his hand excitedly and pointed out the window:
"coming!"
"What's coming?"
The others looked in the direction he pointed.
On the sea in the distance, beneath the gloomy clouds, a funnel-shaped cloud column rolled up and extended downward from the bottom of the clouds.
"tornado!!!"
"It won't work. It's just like what happened in Yangcheng yesterday. It can't even touch the ground..."
Before they could say anything more, a pillar of cloud appeared over there like a long dragon, emerging from the clouds and moving downwards to the water surface.
Moreover, it’s not just the weak spinning circle!
Even though they were far away, they could feel the sea water there being forcefully pumped upwards.
It was like a straw extending from the sky, drawing water from the sea into the sky.
There was a sudden shouting in the room, and everyone rushed out with their cell phones in hand.
Because they were far away, they couldn't actually feel much wind, and it wasn't raining, so they all held up their phones to find the best position for taking pictures.
"Oh my god! Waterspout! Dragon sucking water!!!"
"A genuine dragon sucking water! Isn't this more powerful than the one in Yangcheng yesterday?!"
"The daily evaporation of seawater can no longer meet the needs of the clouds, so they just use the 'straw' to suck?"
"Look at the momentum of pumping water into the sky. It's not a straw, it's a water pump!"
"Um, is the side of it going to curl up again..."
In the field of vision, not far from the previous waterspout, another long dragon quickly formed, winding out from the clouds and reaching the sea surface.
"Double... double tornado?"
"A spectacle! This is a spectacle!!"
"The last time I saw a twin tornado online was when someone photographed it near the equator a few years ago. I never thought I would see one right outside my house!"
“Hey, don’t steal my spot. I’ll post to Moments first before I continue filming!”
If what happened just now was a surprise, then what happened now is ecstasy!
"Hahahaha! I was saying that I have good luck. That ungrounded tornado in Yangcheng yesterday was nothing!"
"Wait! It seems... it's curling up again..."
Some distance away from the first two waterspouts, a third waterspout also formed at an extremely fast speed, moving down from the clouds and into the water.
The water surface where it touches the tornado is torn into swirling water mist.
Immediately afterwards, two more long dragons fell from the sea farther away!
The noisy house suddenly became quiet.
If we say that they felt "surprised" just now.
Now, it’s “fear”!
The vast sea, the gloomy sky that seemed to be about to collapse, and the waterspouts that had not yet dispersed...
It was no longer possible to see farther away as the sea mist blocked the view.
This is only the range they can see. Are there other waterspouts forming on the sea that is farther away and beyond their sight
The environment was originally hot and humid, but at this moment it made them feel a creepy chill.
You can even hear the sound of your upper and lower teeth knocking against each other.
This is a dream, right? Or a nightmare!
"Is the end... the end of the world coming again?"
"It's not the end of the world, it's the abnormal climate period! The abnormal climate period has come again!"
“The 6th mass extinction is coming!”
"Bah! Get lost! What bullshit are you talking about! It's just... just... a minor fluctuation in the climate!"
Someone took out his drone and controlled it to fly toward the sea, wanting to take a close-up photo.
Many other people living in this coastal area saw the situation at sea, and those who did not see it quickly learned about it through various channels. More and more people came out to take pictures.
News of at least five waterspouts in the area quickly spread online.
There are too many flashpoints. It is surprising enough that waterspouts appeared in March, and there were several of them at once!
The first reaction of the Internet public when they saw it was: "Special effects?"
As more and more videos and photos appeared online, including live broadcasts, the authenticity of the incident was confirmed.
Is it so hot in the south? Is the severe convective weather so severe? Tornadoes are too frequent!
Yesterday, a tornado that failed to touch down appeared in Yangcheng, and today a dragon sucking water appeared on the sea. I suspect someone in the south is escaping from the disaster [狗头]
One straw is not enough to draw water? Is the water drawn by the straw not enough to satisfy it
Only five? Didn't they say there were nine waterspouts somewhere before
Where is the Kowloon Roll? Video required!
There are only five because we only photographed five waterspouts! We couldn't photograph anything farther away because the sea was full of mist and we couldn't see clearly from a distance! No one dared to go over there!
Someone flew a drone over there and got too close and got swept away, but there is a close-up video [link]
At this time, no matter how many planes flew over, they would all be delivered in one go! Tens of thousands of dollars were swept away just like that!
Doomsday situation!
Keep calm, keep calm. Weather Station: It's just a normal weather phenomenon.
Normal meteorological phenomena shouldn't occur at this time! It's understandable if it occurs in July or August, but it's only the beginning of March! It's already rolled up!
I have a question, where does the pumped water go
Will there be any fish if you pump it so hard
Don't just talk about fish, there are also hundreds of shrimps and crabs
As a result, the serious and weighty meteorological issue was split halfway through. Some people continued to discuss it seriously, while others began to pay attention to the waterspouts that appeared on the sea and how many seafood were swept up into the sky.
While the Internet's attention was focused on five waterspouts that appeared on the southern sea surface, Yangcheng was already facing dark clouds looming over the city.
Inside a skyscraper in the city.
The upper part of the building is a hotel. A young businessman who came to Yangcheng on a business trip entered the guest room, parted the window screen and looked outside.
Outside the large closed French window, you can see the flowing water vapor with your naked eyes. If you can reach out, you can feel the clouds.
Looking up further, you can hardly see anything as it is already very close to the clouds. The weather is bad today and the view is severely obstructed. If you live higher, the view will be completely blocked by the clouds.
The skyscrapers in this area were all built after the abnormal climate period. Each one is taller than the other. If it is a sunny day, the scenery will definitely be much better.
But you can enjoy the night view.
After dealing with a few work emails, he called his family.
"Yes, I've checked in... I live on the 70th floor." He walked to the side and said, "Let me show you the misty clouds outside..."
I pulled aside the curtains and saw darkness outside the window, unable to see anything.
At first glance, I didn't react and thought there was some curtain that was not opened.
After coming to my senses, I found the controller in the room, controlled the opening and closing of the curtains, made sure that the problem was not with the curtains, and turned off all the lights in the room.
Only dim light shone into the house through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The lights in the room had been on, and he hadn't paid attention to the weather outside while he was working.
I looked at the time on my phone and it was just past two in the afternoon.
It’s already dark at 2pm? ! !
outdoor.
The clouds pressed down step by step, as if they were going to slowly swallow up the city.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and thunder was heard from afar.
The busy city will not stop because of this. There are lights everywhere in the dimness.
The clouds were constantly flashing with lightning.
The thunder rumbled, deafening.
If it were during the typhoon season, this would be a common occurrence, but now it seems abnormal.
In addition, the topic of yesterday's ungrounded tornado has attracted much attention online, and some attention has been diverted from the waterspout gathering that has already stopped in Linhai to the "dark clouds covering the city" in Yangcheng.
Wow, is there anyone in your Yangcheng who is also going through the tribulation
It is said that spring thunder scares away all insects. Now the thunder in Yangcheng can wake up not only insects but even dragons!
Actually, if you look closely, the wind outside is not particularly strong, not comparable to the typhoon season, and there is no lightning. It's just that the clouds are scary, and just looking at the photos gives me a sense of oppression.
In movies, this kind of scene usually involves monsters [Awooo]
Under the gloomy and heavy clouds.
In a residence next to Green Lake.
On the stone path, the water vapor gradually increased and turned into mist, covering the entire path.
Doctor Xiao Wu watched the white mist coming toward him from the stone path. He originally thought that the humidity would just increase a little, just like the mist from a humidifier. But when the white mist approached, his breathing became blocked, and he felt a suffocating feeling as if he was drowning!
He had no choice but to retreat.
Now, don’t even think about getting closer, even standing still is life-threatening!
If that were all, he could have just brought a diving mask, but at this moment he inexplicably felt a pressure that was continuing to increase.
There seemed to be an invisible wall blocking the way ahead, making it impossible to get closer.
At this point, Xiao Wu realized that he had to give up his original observation plan, and for safety reasons, he returned to the house.
Even indoors, even with an indoor air circulation system to maintain temperature, air pressure and humidity, one can still vaguely feel the cool airflow, making the hairs on one's body stand on end.
Xiao Wu's movements did not escape Feng Yi's perception, or in other words, all the objects around him, living or non-living, could not escape his perception.
Not just the ground.
Feng Yi could feel that there was an invisible energy shrouding the clouds, gradually forming a suitable and stable environment with the ground.
The energy stored in the body finally becomes active.
The upper body, which originally looked normal, had scaly patterns on it, layer upon layer, from the torso upwards, to the arms, fingers, neck, face... until the entire upper body.
The fingertips covered with scales and the sharp claws made of specialized bones, their sharp edges obscured by the mist, look like cold blades lurking in the dark.
A golden stream of light that seemed to contain enormous energy flashed in the gaps between the scales.
There was originally a layer of blue-white membrane covering his eyes, but suddenly a long and narrow crack appeared at the pupil, as if it was a crack caused by the burning of powerful energy. With the upright pupil as the center, the covering membrane gradually disintegrated and then turned into dust, which dispersed into the mist around him.
The disintegration force continued to expand outwards from the eyes.
It's like a layer of aging skin is peeling off and decomposing from the body surface.
The huge snake's tail broke free from its restraints and swung in the mist.
In the sky, the rain finally fell, neither fast nor slow.
The wind is strong but not violent.
The thunder continued as if to wake up all the dormant creatures on this continent.
Seasons change over and over again. No matter where you are, in the frigid or tropical zones, nature has its own rhythm.
The Waking of Insects has arrived, and the recovery has begun.
Yanghe emerged and gradually flourished from then on.
His vertical pupils, which were a little colder than usual, moved and he raised his head slightly.
The scaly claws swung upwards, disrupting the stable balance formed by the sky and the ground.
The gloomy and heavy clouds cracked into winding gaps.
The afternoon sunlight slanted down through the cracks.
The rain lines were tinged with gold.
Feng Yi stretched out his arms and stretched his body.
After shedding my skin, my whole body feels much lighter.
The scales on the upper body slowly disappeared, the active energy gradually subsided, and the claws returned to a harmless state.
Feng Yi looked at his fingers that had returned to their original state, then looked at his body and tail. After everything calmed down, his figure seemed to be no different from usual. However, he couldn't see the whole picture now, so he would go upstairs and look in the mirror to take a closer look.
The mist on the stone path has dissipated.
Feng Yi walked out from the path and out of the shelter.
There was a waterproof locker outside where the housekeeper placed the clothes.
Feng Yi changed back into human form, put on clean clothes, and prepared to go into the house. The people inside were still waiting to celebrate his birthday, and he could already smell the fragrance from the kitchen.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and Feng Yi moved to the side.
A fish the size of a palm fell right in front of him.
Feng Yi stared at the fish on the ground, his sharp and cold eyes showing obvious confusion:
Who threw it?!
Don’t you know that throwing objects from high places is a criminal offense? ! !
