The sky was gloomy from evening, the cicadas chirped under the windless trees, and the sultry air was full of dampness. At night, the rain still did not fall, but the cicadas chirped louder and louder, like a prelude to distant thunder.
"It's too stuffy today." Li Junchi sat under the bed, poured a basin of cold water and put it on the ground. After a while, he took the towel off his body and washed it with cold water. After wringing it dry, he put it on his body to continue to cool down.
Ren Feiyu was lying on the mat on the upper bunk, holding a small fan with the most fashionable colorful backlight in one hand, strong wind blowing his face, and holding a mobile phone with a koi shell in the other hand to read news, he asked, "What does this 'animalistic' mean? what?"
Lin Wu didn't have a small electric fan, so he could only lean against the railing of the bed to absorb the meager wind from the old-fashioned electric fan on the roof. At the same time, he clicked on the latest report that Ren Feiyu only swept the title, and read it carefully: "It is said that these abnormal changes are not random. Irregular, but mutated along a certain animality…”
"And the animal nature of many anomalous people is different?" Xia Yang sat in the center of the room, facing the fan on the ceiling, hoping to get the wind first. I have seen the detailed explanation in the report now. He was so shocked that he simply read the press release, "Studies have found that the animality of different anomalies is often quite different..."
"Take Mr. Li of Jilin who once subdued several wild boars with his bare hands and Ms. Zhao of Beijing who held her breath underwater for 42 minutes as examples. After Mr. Li was admitted to the hospital, some behavioral habits and preferences of bears appeared, and Ms. Zhao's body was abnormal. The situation is showing more and more amphibian characteristics...”
Xia Yang thought about it, and panicked himself first: "This is the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, not shirtless and rolling in the snow for three days and three nights - you're going crazy."
The four of 333 didn't do anything else these nights. When they returned to the dormitory, they swiped their mobile phones neatly, checked reports on the latest progress in research on physical abnormalities, and held relevant discussions until the lights went out. The steamer-like dormitory can't stop their input, and the final exam preparation is just that serious.
"People are people, how can they become animals?" Ren Feiyu still had a hard time accepting this reality.
"Brother, don't make up your own mind," Li Junchi said, "you didn't read the text on the back of it. Although the abnormal situation shows animal characteristics, the original personality and preferences of the abnormal person have not changed significantly. Added a little more animality to the base.”
"You can also think about it from another angle," Lin Wu said. "Humans are originally a kind of animals. Maybe these are the characteristics of ancient human beings, but now they are reactivated in abnormal people."
Ren Feiyu: "Then what animal nature am I being activated by?"
This soul question makes the air suddenly quiet.
The report on "Animal" was just published, and the three of them really didn't have time to apply it to Ren Feiyu. In addition, Ren Feiyu's performance these days is really more like a normal person than a normal person. The so-called "abnormal" has never appeared again. Sometimes Lin Wu and the others can't help but wonder if the "weird fall" that night was them. Collective dazzling.
"Don't stop talking," Ren Feiyu waited for a long time, hesitated, and decided to confess, "Although I can't jump out of the majestic figure that night, these days, I actually found other abnormalities in myself. Happening… "
Lin Wu was taken aback: "Huh?"
Li Junchi's eyes widened: "What?"
Xia Yang was stunned: "What are you talking about?"
Now they are no longer hot, nor are they depressed, and they are full of energy.
Facing the terrifying aura of the brothers, Ren Feiyu couldn't help but feel guilty, until his back was against the wall, and then he said with difficulty: "Actually, that, me..."
Lin Wu, Xia Yang, and Li Junchi: "Speak, be serious, and point."
Ren Feiyu: "My eyesight has improved inexplicably. I used to sit in the last row of the classroom and squinted at the blackboard, but now I can see it clearly!"
Lin Wu: "Is it gone?"
Ren Feiyu: "There is also jumping from a height. Actually, I secretly tried a few times behind your back, but it wasn't the kind of jumping down. I didn't dare to continue without you.
Li Junchi: "And then what?"
Ren Feiyu: "I found that when I landed, my feet didn't hurt as much as before. I tried it several times and it was the same, so I think the body may still slow down automatically, but it's not obvious, so we didn't find it during the test that day. "
Xia Yang: "Okay, you're definitely mutating for sure."
Ren Feiyu: "...How many days have you suspected me??"
"Who told you not to tell us anything, pretend to be more normal than normal people." Lin Wu spit out mercilessly, and neatly got down from the top bunk.
Ren Feiyu had been uneasy after hiding these for so many days, but now he was criticized, and he wanted to cry even more: "Then I'm not afraid of affecting you... You finally feel relieved, I'm here again... "
"I think too much." Lin Wu, who got out of bed, couldn't bear to give him a glare, but as a result, he was almost blinded by the colorful little fan, so he covered his eyes and stared at Classmate Ren from between his fingers, "You are a picture of a hundred beasts. , is also the most beautiful boy in 333, do you understand?"
Ren Feiyu looked around the whole 333 with tears in his eyes: "I love you..."
Lin Wu, Li Junchi, and Xia Yang, who were strafed by colorful lights in circles: "..."
This dazzling love.
Lin Wu, who got out of bed, quickly sat in front of the desk, pulled out a pen and paper, and listed several key points that Ren Feiyu said just now: "Good eyesight... Landing has its own deceleration or buffer..."
Xia Yang, who was sitting under the fan, also moved his stool and moved closer: "There is still rolling in the air, don't forget the rolling in the air at the beginning..."
"In terms of performance that night, it's most like a cat." Although Li Junchi didn't get close, the heart to participate had already flown by, "It doesn't mean that no matter how a cat falls, it can be Twist your body in the air?"
- A three-person scientific research team was quickly established.
Xia Yang: "The cat's paws have meat pads, which are also in line with the effect of landing cushioning."
Lin Wu: "But cats are very alert."
Li Junchi: "That can't be Daewoo, he is so dull."
Xia Yang: "And didn't he still glide that night? I watched him fall diagonally from the bed to the center of the room. Cats can't glide."
Lin Wu: "If you want to talk about gliding, then there are only birds or some specific animals that can glide. Wait for my phone to check..."
Xia Yang: "It's not like a bird, it's still gliding. It's not good to fly directly."
Li Junchi: "And the bird is so dexterous, do you remember the few times we tested the clothes and quilts later, when Daewoo banged down, it wasn't light at all."
"Well, I haven't found out that animals can glide?" Xia Yang couldn't wait, and squeezed beside Lin Wu, staring at his constantly sliding phone screen.
Lin Wu's speed was already very fast, the web page was switched on and off, and the information was memorized again and again.
Only then did Xia Yang understand that Lin Wu didn't just simply check a few webpages, he wanted rigorous information.
What he admired was that he found that Lin Wu, who was wandering in the ocean of knowledge, seemed to be very happy.
Xia Yang really didn't want to eavesdrop this time, but the two were too close.
Lin Wu's Indian-style tune instantly entered his ears: "How cold~ I play mud in the northeast~~ Although the northeast is not big~ I don't have a home in Dalian~~"
Xia Yang: "..."
He couldn't imagine how close he was.
"It's almost there," interrupted the humming, and Lin Wu, who had collected a bunch of information, finally came to a more secure conclusion, "It should be a mammal with membranes, that is, there is a layer of cortical membranes like sails on both sides of the body, which can make them Gliding down from the air, such as flying monkeys and flying squirrels, such as the honey glider that many people keep as pets, is one of them."
Li Junchi: "Then do their habits have anything in common with Daewoo, except for gliding?"
Lin Wu: "You're cowardly."
Xia Yang: "It's Daewoo."
Li Junchi: "That's it."
Ren Feiyu, who was silently watching the whole process, found it difficult to remain obedient any longer: "Are you studying together or forming a group to hack me..."
Xia Yang's cell phone suddenly sounded a low-battery alert, and he got up and went back to the bed to find the charger.
Li Junchi only felt that a figure passed by in the corner of the light, and then raised his head, Xia Yang was already on the bed. At most, Xia Yang stepped on the ladder leading to the upper bunk, and he used his strength to jump up.
"You're very skilled," Li Junchi teased, "or you can take off your ladder tomorrow."
Xia Yang is usually very flexible, but today he may have listened to Lin Wu's songs, and he is in particularly good condition. Hearing this, he immediately froze: "I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it, who can understand my decathlon. The troubles of dragons and phoenixes among people."
Li Junchi: "...you come down, I promise not to beat you."
Xia Yangle, while stinking, plugged in the charger. Just as he was about to connect his mobile phone, a new message popped up at the top of the screen. It was a headline just pushed by a news app—
Amazing find! The outbreak of body mutation and the trend chart of the global spread of fog at the beginning of the month are completely coincident!
Lin Wu, who has the same app, saw the push as well.
He subconsciously clicks in—
Details: This unexplained body mutation, like the fog at the beginning of the month, swept the world in a short period of time. Some scientists compared the global spread of the two and found a surprising coincidence.
[Figure 1] This is a trend chart of the global outbreak of body variation in the past half month.
[Figure 2] This is the trend chart of the heavy fog sweeping the world in three days at the beginning of the month.
Although the speed of spreading and spreading of the two is different, it can be found by comparison that the global outbreak of body mutation completely follows the trajectory of the fog at the beginning of the month.
Scientists from many countries expressed concern that if a causal relationship between the two is finally confirmed, then everyone who was exposed to the fog at the beginning of the month may not be able to escape, and this body mutation may become a global catastrophe.
Lin Wu stared blankly at the end.
There was a sudden thunder outside the window, like a giant who had been suppressed for a long time roaring on the other side of the sky.
The wind is blowing, and the last rainstorm of late summer is here.
"It's raining hard enough." In the 509 dormitory, Yuan Sijie, who had just returned the message, put down his mobile phone, closed the window halfway down, and left a gap for ventilation, so as not to let too much rain in.
"I read the weather forecast, it's going to rain for at least two days, and then the temperature will cool down," Ge Liang sat on the bed and wanted to raise his arms to celebrate, "My god, it's cooling down—"
"Don't say it's useless," Wang Ye urged him, "Continue with that."
"Oh," Ge Liang hurriedly looked down at the phone screen and continued to popularize science, "'animal nature' means that every abnormal person shows..."
In this dormitory where 3/4 of the members lack curiosity and enthusiasm for the world, Ge Liang resolutely shoulders the heavy responsibility of "Daily News Popular Science Master". The information about body mutation is basically spread to the dormitory every day. , are more industrious than little bees.
However, Yuan Sijie usually cheers him on during consultation and communication, although the latter still uses WeChat to chat with one another. But today Wang Ye has become the main force in the audience, and Ge Liang strongly suspects that this new development of "animal nature" is more attractive to the other party.
"So all mutants have some kind of animality?" Wang Ye probably understood.
"Yes," Ge Liang said, "like motor nerves, habitual preferences, they will all go in the direction of that animal, but the degree should not be high, or the original human behavior and habits dominate."
Wang Ye nodded, rarely contemplating.
After a while, he suddenly asked Ge Liang, "Then what animal are you?"
The author has something to say: Ge Liang: ?
