After the conference, two days passed in a daze, except that I couldn't leave the school, I heard from time to time that there was a mutant in a department, and the teacher's name-calling during class became more and more strict, and absenteeism would be immediately focused on inquiries. Everything else was business as usual.
Lin Wu was puzzled at first, why such a big thing happened, and the school had to continue classes. Later, I gradually reminisced about it. This time is different from the heavy fog not long ago. At that time, the school was closed and classes were suspended. Everyone knew that it was because of bad weather. It would be good to wait patiently for the fog to pass. The routine is broken, and no one knows what will come next.
Sometimes, the order of life is the strongest psychological support. When faced with a storm, no matter how uneasy it is, it will not collapse, and no matter how fearful it will be, it will not lose control.
However, when passing by on campus, you will still clearly feel the vigilance and tension among the unfamiliar classmates, as if you are afraid that if you are not careful, you will encounter a "mutant".
On the third day, Ren Feiyu couldn't take it anymore and wanted to go to the academy to "turn himself in". Although he never had any abnormality again, the events of that night weighed on his heart like a burden, making him unable to sleep or eat well these days, and the youthful collagen on his face began to lose.
"Then go." Lin Wu and the three of them have always supported Ren Feiyu unconditionally. Daewoo wanted to go to the room, they built a ladder, Daewoo wanted to drink soup, they stewed chicken.
Ren Feiyu was sad and gloomy: "But if I go, I will definitely have to be hospitalized..."
Lin Wu said: "It's a big deal, we'll accompany you."
Ren Feiyu immediately shook his head: "That won't work, you haven't changed."
Li Junchi held his left arm: "You are hospitalized, can we still be far?"
Xia Yang picked up his right arm: "let's go my brother."
The four of them went to the college office generously and awe-inspiringly, and told the counselor about the situation, including how Ren Feiyu fell and fell that night.
The counselor took a small notebook to record the whole process in detail, and interrupted to ask a few questions such as "Is it just that one abnormal reaction" and "Is there any other physical discomfort?"
All of Ren Feiyu answered honestly, and the answers were not comprehensive enough, and the three brothers next to him "checked the gaps and filled the gaps".
After all the reports were completed, the four stood there with bated breath, waiting for the release.
As soon as the counselor put down the pen, the small books closed together: "Okay, let's go back first."
… seems to be a little different than expected
"Don't you need to go to the hospital?" Ren Feiyu was most afraid of this before he came. In fact, he was afraid of diseases and doctors, but now that the guide doesn't mention it, he is even more clueless.
"No need. The notice I just received, from now on, if the abnormality of the body does not affect normal life, the college will record the information and report it." The counselor has actually been dizzy for the past two days. As soon as he made a move, he conveyed the spirit to the students, "Go back and continue to pay attention to the changes in your body, and let me know if there is any new situation."
The four looked at each other.
Lin Wu asked, "Mr. Gao, what kind of abnormality affects normal life?"
"Wait a minute," the counselor flipped out the notice document under the background of the small book, turned to the relevant information page, and began to read aloud, "any behavior that endangers oneself, others or public safety, including but not limited to emotional loss, manic violence, beating others. Destruction, uncoordinated behavior, etc…”
Don't "wait", that's all for now. If Ren Feiyu hadn't been supported by Xia Yang and Li Junchi, he would have been desperately sitting on the ground by this gloomy future.
Lin Wu's voice became more and more solemn: "Teacher, can an abnormal body really cause these? How long does it usually take to happen..."
Counselor: "Nothing has been found yet, these are just an estimate for the worst-case scenario."
Lin Wu, Xia Yang, Li Junchi, Ren Feiyu: "..."
Could your sense of crisis in this document be too strong!
A trip to the academy office was like a roller coaster ride for the heart. Fortunately, although the final result was not completely solid, it was still reassuring.
With a sigh of relief, the four turned to leave.
Just as he was about to walk out of the office door, he suddenly heard the counselor sternly say, "Stop for me!"
The four froze and turned back in horror. Don't you just remember what drastic measures you forgot
"I was almost fooled by you guys just now," the counselor slapped the table, "How many times have I said that you must pay attention to safety in the upper bunk, you must pay attention to safety, and you gave me the whole body to fall?! "
Lin Wu: "..."
Li Junchi: "… "
Xia Yang: "..."
Ren Feiyu: "No, I just want to get a Coke..."
Teacher Gao: "You can drop a Coke. Tell me how crazy you are in the dormitory? I'm really..."
"I'm not talking about you guys, you're all grown up, can you save some snacks..."
"It's 19 or 20, can the teacher still follow you every day like junior high school and high school? No. I know that you need freedom, space, and the madness and enthusiasm of youth..."
For the next half an hour, the four of them stood in the academy office like this, listening to their painstaking teachings.
The first fifteen minutes belonged to Mr. Gao, and Mr. Chen, who was out for a meeting in the last fifteen minutes, came back, so he handed over the baton and continued.
When communicating about variation-related situations, the teachers of the academy who can only take the documents according to the script, once they enter the field that they are familiar with, they are simply eloquent, brilliant, and the stars of Wenqu are possessed.
When they finally left, the four of them had the urge to unload the dormitory bed and lay the floor directly.
When they returned to the dormitory, they recovered.
Li Junchi: "It's so strange. Didn't someone from another hospital be sent to the hospital yesterday? Why don't you use it today?"
Xia Yang: "Isn't it a new notice?"
Li Junchi: "But it's only been three days since the full school conference, and it's changed too quickly, right?"
"This unknown mutation may have new situations every day," Lin Wu pondered, "I estimate that measures should be adjusted after further discoveries are made."
Sure enough, in the evening, the news broadcast the second briefing—
"None of the individuals with physical abnormalities that have been found in various provinces and cities have deteriorated physical health or lost control of their behavior. The initial 'loss of control' of abnormal individuals mostly comes from emotional fluctuations caused by panic. , does not affect daily life…”
"But the symptoms of physical abnormalities didn't go away..."
"During the examination of the abnormal persons, we found that all the abnormal persons have 'gene activation' to varying degrees, which is the direct cause of the physical abnormality..."
"But what causes 'gene activation' is not clear..."
After the briefing, the experts answered the reporter's question-
Reporter: "Can you explain more about the 'gene activation' you just said?"
Expert: "There are many gene fragments in our human body. Although they exist, they should be turned off under normal circumstances. That is to say, the information carried by these gene fragments will not be reflected in our body. 'Gene activation' , which means that these originally closed gene segments are reopened for some reason, causing abnormal changes in people."
Reporter: "Then why are there different types of abnormal conditions in addition to different degrees? Some are the respiratory system, some are the motor nerves..."
Expert: "This is still being studied at this stage, but in fact, each abnormal person is not a single physical change, but one of them is particularly significant, which will cover up the others."
Reporter: "Is such a physical abnormality contagious?"
Expert: "At present, no clear chain of infection has been found between abnormal persons."
Reporter: "But there must be a reason for such a large-scale outbreak."
Expert: "I just said that the cause of 'gene activation' needs further research."
Reporter: "How long will this anomaly last?"
Expert: "Genes have been activated, and the changes it brings will always be reflected in people."
Reporter: "That means this situation won't 'self-heal'?"
Expert: "At present, the possibility is extremely low."
Reporter: "What about targeted treatment?"
Expert: "We tried some 'suppression programs', but none of them worked. Genetic problems are a very complex and sophisticated field, and we still need time."
Reporter: "You just said in the briefing that all abnormal people can control their behavior after being channeled and will not affect their daily life?"
Expert: "Some abnormal people can continue their normal life without even needing counseling..."
Before the live broadcast ended, Ren Feiyu had already stood up excitedly: "Did you hear me? I won't be stupid, won't be crazy, won't be contagious, just activated something, I can still live normally..."
The fear that had been suppressed for several days finally disappeared at this moment. Ren Feiyu, who had suddenly relaxed, could no longer control it. He was so happy that the rest of his life after the catastrophe was about to go crazy, but what he said was crying.
"I heard it." The three walked over, surrounded Ren Feiyu, and hugged the sobbing guy tightly.
Ren Feiyu is afraid, so why are they not.
They are not yet twenty years old, and far from being as strong as they think they are.
Lin Wu raised his head slightly and took a deep breath, then said, "Not only can you live normally now, but you can also study, attend classes and take exams normally."
"It's great," Ren Feiyu snorted and said from the bottom of his heart, "I just realized now that I really love learning..."
Lin Wu hugged him even harder: "Treasure this moment."
Li Junchi and Xia Yang: "Because love is always fleeting."
Over the next two weeks, with more research findings and news reports, this "mass body anomaly" became clearer—
"The world has set off a mutation storm..."
"Scientists from many countries have found that the genes that cause physical abnormalities are some of the oldest and most primitive gene segments in the human body. Before humans appeared, these gene segments were already ubiquitous in various animals..."
"The physical and behavioral changes of the abnormal people all show a certain type or even a certain kind of animal nature. Experts say that this may be related to the difference in the activated gene segments..."
