Dense Fog

It rained for two whole days.

Lin Wu sat in the classroom, resting his head on his hands, looking out the window in a daze.

The non-stop sound of rain seems to have become the background sound of the whole world, which is so monotonous that it makes people boring and sleepy.

"Lin Wu, Lin Wu?"

The thoughts that were about to drift away were suddenly pulled back by the voice next to his ear.

Lin Wu woke up for a moment, only to realize that get out of class was over, and many students were packing their things and heading outside the classroom.

It was Deng Chacha, the squad leader, who called him, and she had already come to his desk with her bag on her back: "Give you the PPT?"

Lin Wu didn't react: "What?"

"Group work," Deng Chacha tilted her head to look at him, her neat ponytail swaying, "Didn't you always contract PPT?"

Deng Chacha's words definitely did not mean to push the task on Lin Wu. In fact, she would have no problem doing the PPT, but Lin Wu's enthusiasm for PPT was recognized by the entire environmental engineering 1.

From freshman to now, as long as it is a group assignment, Lin Wu will take the initiative to undertake the final PPT production task no matter who he is assigned to, and the PPTs he makes are exquisite and will not overwhelm the audience, and often achieve "excellent knowledge points + Visual enjoyment" win-win effect.

Even once, a certain teacher made a complex sigh of "Your homework content is a bit useless with this PPT".

"Oh, yes, group work." Under the reminder of the monitor, Lin Wu finally vaguely remembered that the teacher assigned this in class just now, "I'll do the PPT, no problem."

The PPT is fine, but Deng Chacha always feels that there is something wrong with Lin Wu: "Have you stayed up late recently?"

Lin Wu: "Huh?"

"You don't seem to have woken up in class these two days." As a "comrade in arms" who has been in the first row all year round, Deng Chacha has never seen Lin Wu like this.

Lin Wu has indeed been unable to sleep at night recently, and is always sleepy during the day, so he can only scratch his head in embarrassment now: "Maybe the pressure is a bit high."

Deng Chacha paused, and stopped asking.

Everyone knows what happened recently.

As soon as the squad leader left here, the three brothers in the back row over there came over.

"It's going to change into an animal world, and I have to do my homework," Li Junchi lamented, "It's too difficult for us."

"Because mutations don't kill people." After so many days, Ren Feiyu's attitude of accepting fate has stabilized, "but if you don't hand in group assignments, you really will."

The teacher of this course is the head of their Environmental Engineering Department. His surname is Huang. He has extremely strict requirements. If you don’t perform well at ordinary times, you may fail the course at the end of the semester. Not a blade of grass grows" reputation.

The next class was in another teaching building. After Lin Wu packed his schoolbag, he went out with his brothers.

They left the classroom late, and there were not many people in the corridor.Li Junchi and Ren Feiyu were still talking about group assignments, because they were assigned to a group, and looking at each other, they both felt that their future was bleak.

Obviously, the two of them had a heated discussion about "who is the scumbag among the scumbags", but Lin Wu still inexplicably felt that today was a bit deserted. When he turned his head and saw Xia Yang beside him, he finally knew where the problem was.

This guy is too quiet today.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wu touched him with his arm, "Like a lost soul?"

Xia Yang turned his head, his voice was low and muffled: "Lin Wu, I might also..."

Lin Wu paused slightly.

"In the past two days, I feel very light in my body, and I always want to move. Sometimes when I am in class, I suddenly want to jump up, as if a spring is attached to my buttocks," Xia Yang confides, but he can't hold it back. I have water to drink, 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 feel thirsty..."

As Lin Wu listened, his heart sank more and more.

Although Xia Yang's every sentence is "possible" and "feeling", but after so many days, they all understand in their hearts that once you feel that everything seems wrong, then hang up.

After Xia Yang finished speaking, he found that Li Junchi and Ren Feiyu were also looking at him, and they obviously heard them.

Li Junchi is okay, Ren Feiyu...

Xia Yang rolled his eyes, and knocked him on the head angrily: "You have such an expression, I'm a mutant, so I'll die in battle."

Ren Feiyu covered his head aggrievedly, and still did not forget to use the experience of his seniors to help analyze: "Lightness, I always want to jump high, what kind of animal is that..."

Li Junchi: "If you love jumping, you are a kangaroo."

Lin Wu shook his head: "The kangaroo is a powerful type. An adult kangaroo can knock down a strong man with one punch."

Li Junchi immediately realized: "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: "Camel? But camels don't like to jump, and the character of hard work and hard work doesn't match Xia Yang at all, right?"

"There are not many animals in the desert," Lin Wu quickly searched his knowledge base, "except for camels, the common ones are lizards, scorpions, rattlesnakes..."

Xia Yang: "Can you pick something good for me!"

He understood how Ren Feiyu felt when he was "hacked" a while ago.

While speaking, the four of them had already walked out of the teaching building.

I don't know when the rain became smaller, as light as a cow's hair, there was only a little damp on the face, and there seemed to be no water marks on the body.

Lin Wu raised his head, and the dark clouds that had been densely covered for two days were gradually dissipating, and at the end of the sky, a gleam of brightness gradually faded over.

He suddenly felt a burst of openness, and the things that were pressing on his heart began to loosen.

Looking away, Lin Wu returned to the trio who were still studying desert animals, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "You say, if a person suddenly runs faster than before, what kind of animal nature could it be?"

Li Junchi, who was studying it, immediately said: "Your scope is too broad, there are animals that can run all over the world."

"Then add... stamina?" Lin Wu went further, "Even running long distances doesn't seem as tiring as before."

"Speed ​​+ endurance," Li Junchi concluded, "That's a lot, horses, donkeys, mules, antelopes... hares are also fine, if you can't run, how can you avoid natural enemies?"

Ren Feiyu said: "It doesn't necessarily have to be a herbivore. In the documentary we watched yesterday, it said that it looks like a wolf or a hyena. They also have good stamina, so that they can catch prey."

——Dormitory 333 has a strong learning atmosphere recently, and they often watch various animal science and education films together.

"What if you can not only run, but also improve your teeth?" Seeing that there was still no result to be discussed, Lin Wu provided new information.

Xia Yang squinted his eyes and looked at him suspiciously... No, he was almost sure: "Don't 'if' my brother, just say that you are asking for yourself?"

Lin Wu looked at him stubbornly for three seconds: "Okay, you win."

Ren Feiyu's eyes widened: "Lin Wu? You too..."

Li Junchi was even more confused: "No, what's going on?"

There are four people in a dormitory, three of them have mutated, what's wrong?Form a group to isolate him?That can't work!

Li Junchi: "Actually, I didn't tell you. I've been weird for the past two days. I always want to ride a horse. How can I describe it to you? It's like that, riding a red dust concubine laughs, and the iron horse falls into a dream—"

Xia Yang: "Are these two lines of yours a poem?"

Li Junchi: "You first savor your peach blossoms that day are thousands of feet deep, and dragonflies stand on top..."

Until reaching the classroom of the next class, 333's seminar did not produce any significant results.

Lin Wu sat in the first row as usual.

Xia Yang considered again and again, and before going to the back of the classroom, he stopped by his side for a while, and made a pertinent suggestion: "If you really can't figure out that animals have speed and endurance, then change the restrictions."

Lin Wu raised his eyes in confusion: "?"

Xia Yang patted him on the shoulder: "Think about it, animals love to sing at night."

Lin Wu quickly reacted, and then he was surprised: "Did I sing at night?"

"The number of times is so frequent, the music library is so strange, it breaks through imagination." Xia Yang said every word with sincerity.

In late September, more and more students developed abnormal physical symptoms. Although the degree was not high, few of them took a deep breath at every turn and stayed underwater for half an hour like in the news reports. However, the shabby room forum was still full of The "Variation Posts" on the website are maxed out, and as far as the eye can see, they are all——

Subject: I seem to have mutated...

Subject: It's over, I feel like I'm a pig...

Subject: Can't guess what I am, but I must have mutated

Theme: My father, mother and sister are all mutated, tired, destroy

That night, the relevant department released the most important research progress since the outbreak of physical abnormality through live news: my country successfully confirmed the world's first case of animality in the gene activation zone of a person with physical abnormality!

"...We successfully extracted the activated gene fragment of the abnormal person, and after detailed testing and comparison, we confirmed that the direction of alienation is the Asian black bear..."

The four people watching the live broadcast in front of the tablet computer became quiet after hearing the final result.

Although everyone is talking about "animal nature" these days, the matter of "mutation = animalization" has not been officially stamped after all, and it is just rhetoric such as "observed" and "universal".

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 get along with that small part of animal nature that has been activated inexplicably.

But today, all luck is gone.

fair enough.

Just like the second boot finally hit the ground, the people downstairs are at ease.

The next day, the school held the second school-wide meeting, but after learning the lessons of the first time, it was no longer difficult to make trouble for the track and field, and changed it to a live video meeting.

On the screen, the old headmaster looked a little more haggard than at the beginning of the month, but he still emphasized over and over again solemnly and patiently——

"Although it has been confirmed that it is animal body alienation, everyone still needs to stabilize their mentality..."

"Many of our teachers have adapted to their physical abnormalities and continue to shine in their teaching positions as before. The students will definitely be able to do it..."

"Physical abnormalities will not affect health. I hope everyone can stabilize their mentality and focus on studies..."

"Keep your mind steady..."

"Stay steady..."

After a meeting, Lin Wu and the others were almost brainwashed by the word "stabilize".

In the physical education class that afternoon, Xia Yang casually warmed up and jumped 1.5 meters on the spot. The physical education teacher happened to pass in front of him and was almost kicked away.

...How can this horse be stable!

On the last day of September, this global body alienation, which has been raging for nearly a month and is still spreading rapidly, finally has an international official name——

Animality-awakening, abbreviated as AA.

Chinese name: Wild Awakening.
