It rained for two days.
Lin Wu sat in the classroom, resting his head on his hands, looking out of the window in a trance.
The non-stop rain seems to be the background sound of the whole world, monotonous and drowsy.
"Lin Wu, Lin Wu?"
The thoughts that were about to drift away were suddenly pulled back by the voice in the ear.
Lin Wu woke up for a moment, only to realize that the get out of class had already ended, and many students were packing their things and walking outside the classroom.
The one who called him was the monitor Deng Chacha, who had already come to his desk with his bag on his back: "PPT for you?"
Lin Wu didn't react: "What?"
"Group work," Deng Chacha tilted his head to look at him, his neat ponytail also swayed, "Don't you always contract PPT?"
Deng Chacha's words definitely didn't mean to push the task to Lin Wu. In fact, she had no problem doing PPT at all, but Lin Wu's enthusiasm for PPT was recognized by the entire Huangong 1.
From freshman year to now, as long as it is a group assignment, no matter who is assigned to a group, Lin Wu will take the initiative to undertake the final PPT production task, and the PPT he makes is exquisite and will not overwhelm the guest, often reaching the "knowledge point outstanding + Visual enjoyment" win-win effect.
Even once, a teacher made a complicated sigh, "Your homework content and this PPT are a little blind."
"Oh, yes, group homework," Lin Wu finally remembered vaguely after the monitor's reminder. The teacher set this up in class just now, "I'll do the PPT, no problem."
The PPT is fine, but Deng Chacha always felt that Lin Wu had a problem: "Have you stayed up late recently?"
Lin Wu: "Huh?"
"It's like you haven't woken up in class these two days." As a "comrade-in-arms" who has been in the first row all the year round, Deng Chacha has never seen Lin Wu like this.
Lin Wu has indeed been unable to sleep at night, and is always sleepy during the day, so at this moment he can only scratch his head awkwardly: "Maybe the pressure is a bit high."
Deng Chacha took a look and stopped asking questions.
We all know what happened recently.
As soon as the monitor left here, the three brothers in the back row came over.
"It's about to change into the animal world, and I still have to do my homework," Li Junchi lamented, "It's too difficult for us."
"Because mutations won't kill people," Ren Feiyu said after so many days, his attitude of resignation has stabilized, "but if you don't hand in group homework, you will."
The teacher of this course is the dean of their environmental engineering department. The surname is Huang. The requirements are extremely strict. If you do not perform well at ordinary times, you may fail the course at the end of the term. As early as the previous seniors and sisters, there was a "Old Huang expedition, Not an inch of grass grows."
The next class is in another teaching building. After Lin Wu packed up his schoolbag, he went out with his brothers.
They left the classroom late, and there were not many people in the hallway. Li Junchi and Ren Feiyu were still talking about group work, because they were divided into a group and looked at each other and felt that the future was gloomy.
The two of them had a lively discussion on "Who is the scumbag among the scumbags?", but Lin Wu still felt a little deserted today. When he turned around and saw Xia Yang next to him, he finally knew what the problem was.
This guy is so quiet today.
"What's the matter," Lin Wu touched him with his arm, "Looks like a lost soul?"
Xia Yang turned his head, rarely lowered, and his voice was muffled: "Lin Wu, I may also..."
Lin Wu paused at his feet.
"I feel very light in the past two days, and I always want to move. Sometimes I suddenly want to jump up during class, as if a spring has been placed on my butt," Xia Yang said, and couldn't hold back, "I still I have water, you know that I have a small mouth all day, I have to use water to moisten my throat, but I didn’t drink a sip of water from morning to night yesterday, and I didn’t even feel thirsty…”
Lin Wu listened, his heart sinking more and more.
Although Xia Yang's every sentence is "maybe" and "feeling", but after so many days, they all understand in their hearts, once you feel that there is something wrong, then it's hanging.
After Xia Yang finished speaking, he found that Li Junchi and Ren Feiyu were also looking at him, obviously they heard it.
Li Junchi is okay, Ren Feiyu...
Xia Yang rolled his eyes and knocked on his head angrily: "You look like that, I am a mutant or not killed in battle."
Ren Feiyu covered his head in grievance, and did not forget to help analyze the experience of his predecessors: "Light, I always want to jump high, what kind of animal could that be..."
Li Junchi: "If you love jumping, it's a kangaroo."
Lin Wu shook his head: "Kangaroo is a power type. An adult kangaroo can knock down a strong man with one punch."
Li Junchi immediately woke up: "That can't be Xia Yang, just his small physique."
Lin Wu: "Right."
"If you don't like thirst," Ren Feiyu guessed tentatively, "could it be a desert animal?"
Li Junchi: "Camels? But camels don't like to jump, and the character of being hard-working and hard-working doesn't match Xia Yang at all, right?"
"There are not many desert animals," Lin Wu quickly searched his knowledge base, "In addition to camels, the common ones are lizards, scorpions, rattlesnakes..."
Xia Yang: "Can you pick me something good!"
He could understand Ren Feiyu's mood when he was "blackened by a group" a while ago.
While speaking, the four of them had already walked out of the teaching building.
I don't know when the rain has become smaller, it is as light as a cow's hair, there is only a little damp on the face, and even the water marks on the body seem to be absent.
Lin Wu raised his head, the dark clouds that had covered him for two days were gradually dissipating, and at the end of the sky, a trace of translucency gradually faded.
He suddenly felt a burst of openness, and the things in his heart began to loosen.
Looking back, Lin Wu returned to the trio who were still studying desert animals, and asked unintentionally, "You said, if a person suddenly runs faster than before, what kind of animality could it be?"
Li Junchi, whose research is on the rise, immediately said: "Your scope is too broad, there are animals that can run all over the world."
"Then add... stamina?" Lin Wu further said, "Even running long distances doesn't seem as tiring as before."
"Speed + endurance," Li Junchi concluded, "that's a lot, too. Horses, donkeys, mules, antelopes... hares, too. If you can't run, how can you avoid natural enemies?"
Ren Feiyu said: "It doesn't have to be herbivores. In the documentary we watched yesterday, it said that they were like wolves and hyenas. They also have good endurance, so that they can catch their prey."
-333 Dormitory has a very strong learning atmosphere recently, and I often watch various animal science and education films collectively.
"What if not only can I run, but my teeth also get better?" Seeing that there was still no result in the discussion, Lin Wu provided new information.
Xia Yang squinted and looked at him with suspicion... No, it's almost certain: "Don't 'if' my brother, you say you're asking for yourself?"
Lin Wu stubbornly looked at him for three seconds: "Okay, you won."
Ren Feiyu's eyes widened: "Lin Wu? You too..."
Li Junchi was even more confused: "No, what's the situation?"
There are four people in a dormitory, and the three have mutated. What happened? Group to isolate him? That can't work!
Li Junchi: "Actually, I didn't tell you. I've been very strange these two days. I always want to ride a horse. How can I describe it to you? It's like that, when a concubine rides a red dust and laughs, the iron horse will come to a dream—"
Xia Yang: "Are these two lines of yours a poem?"
Li Junchi: "You first taste the peach blossoms of your day that are thousands of feet deep, and the dragonflies stand on top of them..."
333's seminars were not fruitful until they arrived in the classroom for the next class.
Lin Wu took his seat in the first row as usual.
Xia Yang thought about it again and again. Before walking to the back of the classroom, he stopped beside him for a while, and suggested pertinently: "If you really can't think of an animal with speed and endurance, change the qualifications."
Lin Wu looked up in confusion: "?"
Xia Yang patted him on the shoulder: "think about animals who love to sing at night."
Lin Wu quickly reacted, and then stunned: "I sang at night?"
"Frequent times, the treacherousness of the Quku, breaks through the imagination." Xia Yang said one word at a time, and his words were sincere.
In late September, more and more students showed abnormal physical symptoms. Although the degree was not high, few of them took a deep breath and stayed underwater for half an hour, as in the news reports, but the forum was still full of screens. 's "mutation stickers" have exploded. Looking around, they are all—
Subject: I seem to have mutated...
Subject: It's over, I feel like I'm a pig...
Subject: Can't guess who I am, but I must have mutated
Topic: My father, my mother and my sister are all mutated, tired, destroy it
That night, the relevant departments released the most significant research progress since the outbreak of abnormal body through live news: my country successfully confirmed the world's first case of abnormal body gene activation zone animal!
"...We successfully extracted the activated gene fragments of the abnormal person. After detailed testing and comparison, we confirmed that the direction of alienation is Asian black bear..."
The four people who were watching the live broadcast in front of the tablet computer really heard the final result, but became quiet.
Although everyone is talking about "animality" these days, "mutation = animalization" is not officially stamped after all, and it is just "observed" and "ubiquitous".
People always like to take chances, after all, no one wants to live a good life, and suddenly you are told that you have to learn to live with the small part of the beast that is inexplicably activated.
But today, all luck is gone.
fair enough.
Just like the second boot finally landed, the people downstairs felt at ease.
The next day, the school held the second school meeting, but after learning the lessons of the first time, it was no longer difficult for the track and field, and it was changed to a live video conference.
On the screen, the old principal was a little more haggard than at the beginning of the month, but he still emphasized over and over again seriously and patiently—
"Although it has been confirmed that it is an animal body alienation, everyone still needs to stabilize their mentality..."
"Many of our teachers have adapted to the abnormality of their bodies and continue to shine in their teaching positions as before, and the students will certainly be able to do it..."
"Abnormal body will not affect health. I hope everyone can stabilize their mentality and focus on their studies..."
"Keep your mind steady..."
"Hold on..."
After a conference, Lin Wu and the others were almost brainwashed by the word "steady".
In the physical education class that afternoon, Xia Yang casually warmed up and jumped up to 1.5 meters in place. The physical education teacher happened to pass in front of him and was almost kicked away.
... How can this horse be held steady!
On the last day of September, this global body alienation that has been raging for nearly a month and is still spreading rapidly, finally has an international official name—
Animality-awakening, abbreviated AA.
It is called in Chinese: Awakening of the Wild.
