One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 199
The solar term of Awakening of Insects is often mentioned and ignored by people.

For most people in Yangcheng, they only found out when they looked at the weather forecast or the calendar—eh?A day with thunderstorms is a waking of insects!
No more, no more.

There is no sense of existence in the 24 solar terms.

Before the Awakening of Insects, there was only a little rain in Yangcheng, and as the Awakening of Insects approached, there was not much time for the sun to rise.

The ungrounded tornado the day before Awakening of Insects brought a lot of topics, until the next day Awakening of Insects, people will frequently mention it.

The gloomy sky did not immediately bring thunderstorms.

People don't feel that today is so special, what to do or what to do.

I read the early warning from the meteorological department and didn't take it to heart. Isn't it just a thunderstorm? I know it!Don't post one after another!
Next to the 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 this time, instinct is the most reliable. Of course, it is to obey instinct and leave everything to instinct.

Feng Yi quietly perceives his surroundings, and, outside, the larger space.

not enough.

Not yet time.

It seems that there is still a lack of energy, and the surrounding environment is not suitable, so I have to accumulate it for a while.

Doctor Xiaowu stood guard outside the stone path and did not follow.He said that he would not disturb Feng Yi, so he thought that standing here should also be able to observe the movement inside and achieve his purpose.

Looking at the humidity monitor, compared with the morning, the humidity here has increased again.Moreover, the humidity near the stone path is 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 feel uncomfortable. Xiaowu can still bear it. Even if it is uncomfortable, it is only uncomfortable for this day. inside.

In the room, the butler stood in front of the French windows, and didn't go to the side of the stone path.

Several other people also know that today is a special day, not only Feng Yi's birthday, but also the time for Feng Yi to shed his skin.

Xiao Jia and the others are decorating the hall, waiting for Feng Yi to shed his skin and then celebrating his birthday.

After packing up the ingredients, Xiao Bing wandered over to the housekeeper, and then looked out the window.

Standing here, you can only see the scenery of the courtyard, not the stone path, let alone Feng Yi.

Xiao Bing was puzzled, "You have been watching here, worried about the boss? Why don't you go to the stone path with Xiao Wu?"

The housekeeper still looked out of the window and smiled, "I want to go there."

Xiao Bing poured several cups of damp-dispelling tea, one for each person in the room, and was about to ask why, when the butler said, "Pour a cup for Xiao Wu, too."

Xiao Bing wants to say, "Xiao Wu has been staying outside and has no intention of coming in for tea."But the butler specifically mentioned this, and he casually poured another glass.

Maybe Xiaowu will come in for a cup of tea when he gets thirsty outside later.

Xiao Ding tied the balloon: "Didn't you say there will be a thunderstorm today? It hasn't rained yet, and the thunder hasn't been heard yet."

Xiao Yi also said: "The humidity is very heavy, there should be heavy rain later."

Xiao Jia: "I just don't know when the rain will fall."

The housekeeper looked at the sky outside, walked aside, adjusted the dehumidifier in the room, and then returned to the floor-to-ceiling windows again, looking at the sky outside, as if whispering to himself, or to other people:
"Ever heard an old rumor?"

"When the snake comes, the rain will come."

-

In a coastal city more than 100 kilometers south of Yangcheng, in a seaside villa.

A dozen or so young people are gathering to laugh and have fun, and they are having a party here.

Originally, they planned to go out to sea on a yacht today. They received several early warning text messages from the meteorological department in the early morning. They also hesitated, but after discussing, they felt that there was no major problem.

Turning off the location of the mobile phone, so as not to be monitored by others, and leaving the warning text messages behind, a group of people ran out in a yacht.

Just out of the sea, he was stopped by the coast guard.

As a last resort, we can only meet here.

There were also barbecues on the terrace outside, but it wasn't raining anyway.

Several people in the room played a round of games and chatted.

"Just now the Meteorological Station sent another thunderstorm warning text message! Is there any need to be so nervous? Now it's not the typhoon season, just a little rain and a few thunderstorms, what's the problem?"

"The Meteorological Observatory will definitely be nervous. It has long been predicted that the climate will fluctuate in the past two years. There was a tornado in Yangcheng yesterday."

"That shitty tornado can't even make it into shape! Yesterday I watched the most complete video and stared at the video for 10 minutes. It couldn't catch the ground. I was so anxious to watch it that I wanted to grab it directly!"

"Didn't the experts say that the one that failed to touch down in Yangcheng yesterday is not a tornado? What is it called a tubular cloud? It's just a special case, that's the only one. I want to meet another one. Our sea is too boring. Watch it every day." It's all the same."

"Then you wait for the typhoon season, it won't be boring when the typhoon comes."

"I don't care? Typhoons happen every year, but tornadoes are different!"

Just as he was talking, the man half lying on the sofa with his legs up and dangling, the wine glass in his hand trembled, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he raised his finger out of the window excitedly:

"coming!"

"What's coming?"

The others looked in the direction he pointed.

On the sea in the distance, under the gloomy cloud layer, a funnel-shaped cloud column rolled up and down from the bottom of the cloud layer.

"tornado!!!"

"It can't be done, it's the same as the one in Yangcheng yesterday, it can't touch the ground at all..."

Without waiting for them to say more, the pillar of cloud there was like a long dragon, protruding from the clouds and descending directly to the water surface.

Moreover, it is not the kind of weak circle!

Even if they were far away, they could still feel the sea water being pumped up forcefully.

Like a straw extending from the sky, it pumps water from the sea to the sky.

There was a sudden yell in the room, and everyone rushed out with their mobile phones.

They are far away, they don't actually feel much wind here, and it's not raining now, so they hold up their mobile phones to find the best shooting position.

"Fuck me! Waterspout! Dragon sucks water!!!"

"The authentic dragon absorbs 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 just use the 'straw' to start sucking?"

"Just the momentum of pumping water into the sky, it's a straw, it's a water pump!"

"That, next to it, is it going to roll up again..."

In the field of vision, not far from the waterspout just now, another long dragon quickly formed, winding out from the clouds and reaching the sea.

"Double... double tornadoes?"

"A spectacle! This is a spectacle!!"

"The last time I saw the double dragon scroll on the Internet, was it taken by someone near the equator a few years ago? I never thought I could see it at my door!"

"Hey, don't grab my position, I'll post a circle of friends before continuing to shoot!"

If it was a surprise just now, it is ecstasy now!

"Hahahaha! Let me just say that I'm lucky, the ungrounded tornado in Yangcheng yesterday is nothing!"

"Wait! It seems...it's rolled up again..."

In an area some distance away from the first two waterspouts, the third waterspout also formed at an extremely fast speed, descending from the clouds and entering the water.

Where the water surface touches the whirlwind, it is torn into swirling mist.

Immediately afterwards, two more long dragons descended one after another on the sea surface farther away!
The noisy room suddenly fell silent.

If we say, they were "surprised" just now.

Now, it is "fear"!
The vast sea, the sky that is so gloomy that it seems to be collapsing, and the waterspouts are still lingering...

Farther away, it was already impossible to see clearly, and the mist on the sea blocked the sight.

This is only the range they can see, and further away, on the sea that they cannot see, are there other waterspouts forming?

It was originally a hot and humid environment, but at this moment they felt a creepy coolness.

You can even hear the sound of your teeth bumping up and down.

This is what happened in a dream, right?Still a nightmare!

"Is it the end... the end of the world is coming again?"

"It's not the end of the world, it's an abnormal climate period! The abnormal climate period is coming again!"

"The sixth mass extinction is coming!"

"Bah! Go away! What nonsense! It's just... just... small fluctuations in the climate!"

Someone moved out his drone and controlled it to fly towards the sea, wanting to take a close-up shot.was rolled.

Many other people living in this coastal area have seen the situation at sea, and quickly learned about it from various channels if they didn't see it.More and more people came out to take pictures.

Stories of at least five waterspouts in the area quickly spread online.

Too many explosions.It's surprising enough that waterspouts appear in March, and there are just a few!

The first reaction of the Internet public: "Is it special effects?"

Only when there were more and more videos and photos on the Internet, and there were live broadcasts, did this confirm the authenticity of this matter.

[It's already so hot in the south?Is the strong convective weather so fierce?Tornadoes are too frequent! 】

[The tornado that failed to touch down in Yangcheng yesterday, and the dragon sucking water appeared in the sea today, I suspect that someone in the south will cross the robbery [狗头]]

[One straw is not enough to pump water?Can the pumped water not satisfy it anymore?]

[Only five?Didn't it mean that there were nine waterspouts before? 】

[Where is the Nine Dragon Roll?Ask for a video! 】

[There are only five because only five waterspouts were photographed!I can't take pictures from farther away, the sea is full of water mist, and I can't see clearly from a distance!No one dared to go there! 】

[Someone flew a drone over there, and was caught too close, but there is a close-up video [link]]

[At this time, it doesn't matter how many planes fly over, it will be sent in one wave!Tens of thousands of dollars were just swept away! 】

[Doomsday situation! 】

【calm down.Meteorological Observatory: Just an ordinary meteorological phenomenon]

[Ordinary meteorological phenomena should not appear at this time!It is understandable that it appeared in July and August, but this is only the beginning of March!This is rolled up! 】

[I have a question, where did the pumped water go? 】

[Smoking so hard, can you catch fish? 】

[Don't just talk about fish, there are hundreds of shrimp and crabs]

As a result, serious and heavy meteorological issues were split halfway. Some people continued to discuss seriously, while others began to pay attention to these waterspouts that appeared on the sea surface and how much seafood was swept into the sky.

When the Internet focused on the five waterspouts that appeared in the southern sea, Yangcheng was already facing dark clouds over the city.

In 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, opened the window screen and looked outside.

Outside the closed large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the flowing water vapor with the naked eye. If you can reach out, you can feel the feeling of touching the clouds
Looking up, there is basically nothing to see. It is already very close to the clouds. The weather is bad today and the occlusion is serious. If you live at a higher level, your vision will be completely blocked by the clouds.

The skyscrapers in this area were all built after the abnormal climate period. One building is taller than the other. If it is sunny, the scenery will definitely be much better.

But it's okay to see the night view.

After dealing with a few work emails, he called his family.

"Yes, I've already checked in... I live on the [-]th floor." He walked to the side, "Come to show you the misty clouds outside..."

The window screen was opened, and it was dark outside the window, and nothing could be seen.

???

I didn't realize it after a quick look, thinking that there was some kind of curtain that hadn't been drawn.

After regaining consciousness, I found the controller in the room and controlled the opening and closing of the curtains. After confirming that the curtains were not the problem, I turned off all the lights in the room.

Only dim light shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the house.

The lights in the room were always on before, and he didn't pay attention to the sky outside when he was working.

Looking at the time on the phone, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, it's getting dark? ! !

outdoor.

The clouds pressed down step by step, as if slowly swallowing the city.

It was getting darker and darker, and thunder came from afar.

A busy city will not stop because of this.Lights lit up the darkness.

The clouds flickered with lightning.

Rolling thunder, the sound is deafening.

In the typhoon season, this is relatively common, but now, it feels abnormal.

In addition to yesterday's ungrounded tornado that brought up the topic, and the attention on the Internet, it is rare to divert some attention from the waterspout party that has stopped at Linhai to Yangcheng's "Dark Cloud Overwhelming City".

[Wow, is there anyone in your Yangcheng who survived the catastrophe! 】

[It is said that the spring thunder scares all insects, but now the thunder in Yangcheng, let alone insects, can awaken even dragons! 】

[Actually, if you look closely, the wind outside is not particularly strong, it can’t compare with the typhoon season, and the lightning did not strike.It’s just that the clouds are scary, just looking at the photos gives me a sense of oppression]

[In movies, this kind of scene is usually haunted by monsters [哩呜]]

Under the gloomy and heavy clouds.

Inside the house by the green lake.

On the stone path, the water vapor gradually increased and turned into water mist, covering the entire path.

Doctor Xiaowu watched the white water mist push towards him from the stone path, and thought that the humidity would only increase a little, just like the water mist from a humidifier.But when these white water vapors approached, breathing was blocked, the suffocation feeling like drowning hit!

As a last resort, he could only retreat.

Don't talk about getting closer now, standing there is life-threatening!
If that was all it was, he could have come over with a breathing mask for diving, but he felt a kind of pressure inexplicably at this moment, and this pressure was still increasing.

In front, it seems that there is an invisible wall blocking it, which cannot be approached.

At this time, Xiaowu also understood in his heart that the original observation plan had to be abandoned, and he went back to the house for safety reasons.

Even if you are indoors, even if there is an indoor air circulation system to maintain the temperature, air pressure and humidity, you can still feel the cool air flow in a trance, making the hairs all over your body explode.

Xiao Wu's movements did not escape Feng Yi's perception, or in other words, all the objects around here, living and non-living, could not escape his perception.

Not just the ground.

Feng Yi can feel that in the clouds, there is an invisible energy shrouded, gradually forming a suitable and stable environment with the ground.

The energy stored in the body finally became active.

The upper body, which originally looked no different from ordinary people, has scale-like lines, layer by layer, from the torso up, arms, fingers, neck, face... until the entire upper body.

Fingertips covered with scales, sharp claws made of bone, their sharp edges covered by mist, like cold blades lurking in the dark.

The golden stream of light seemed to contain huge energy, flashing in the gaps between the scales.

In the eyes, there was originally a layer of blue and white film, and a long and narrow slit suddenly opened at the pupil, like a crack formed by the burning of powerful energy, and with the erect pupil as the center, the covering film Gradually cracked, and then turned into dust, scattered into the water mist around the body.

The trend of cracking continued to expand from the eyes.

It seems that there is a layer of aging skin peeling off from the body surface and decomposing.

The huge snake tail broke free from the arrest and swung in the mist.

The sky, the rain finally fell.No hurry, no delay.

The wind is strong, but not violent.

The sound of thunder remained the same, as if it wanted to wake up all the dormant creatures on this continent.

The seasons change, and the cycle repeats itself.No matter where it is, cold or tropical, nature has its own rhythm.

The Waking of Insects has arrived, and recovery begins.

Yanghe occurred and has gradually flourished since then.

The vertical pupil, which was a little colder than usual, moved and raised its head slightly.

The sharp claws covered with scales swung upwards, disrupting the balanced and stable environment formed by the sky and the ground.

The gloomy and thick clouds cracked a series of zigzag gaps.

Afternoon sunlight leaked obliquely through the crack.

The rain lines are all stained with a layer of gold.

Feng Yi stretched out his arms and stretched his body.

After shedding the skin, the whole body feels much lighter.

The scale pattern that appeared on the upper body slowly disappeared, the active energy gradually subsided, and the sharp claws returned to a harmless state.

Feng Yi looked at the fingers that had returned to their original shape, then at his body and tail.After everything calmed down, his figure seemed to be the same as usual.But he can't see everything right now, and he will take a closer look in the mirror when he goes upstairs.

The mist on the stone path has dissipated.

Feng Yi walked out from the path and out of the shelter.

A waterproof locker stands outside, and the butler puts clothes in it.

Feng Yi changed back into a humanoid mimicry, put on clean clothes, and prepared to enter the house.The people inside were still waiting to celebrate his birthday, and he could already smell the aroma of the kitchen.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and Feng Yi moved to the side to avoid it.

A palm-sized fish fell in front of him with a snap.

Feng Yi stared at the fish on the ground, his sharp and cold eyes rarely showed obvious confusion:

Who threw it? !

Don't know about parabolic punishment? ! !
