Dense Fog

The sky began to be gloomy in the evening, cicadas screamed under the windless trees, and the sultry air was full of humidity. At night, the rain still didn't fall, but the cicadas sounded louder and louder, like a prelude to distant thunder.

"It's too boring this day." Li Junchi sat under the bed and put a basin of cold water on the ground. After a while, he took the towel off his body and ran it over with cold water, wrung it out, and put it on his body to continue cooling down.

Ren Feiyu lay on the mat on the upper bunk, holding the trendiest colorful backlight in one hand, holding a small electric fan, strong wind blowing his face, and holding a koi shell phone in the other to scan the news. If he didn’t understand, he asked: "What does this'animality' mean? what?"

Lin Wu didn’t have a small electric fan, so he could only stay close to the bed railings and absorb the meager wind of the old-fashioned roof fan. At the same time, he scanned the latest report of Ren Feiyu with only one headline, and really clicked in to take a closer look: “Said that these abnormal changes are not random. Irregular, but abnormal changes along a certain animal nature..."

"Moreover, the animality of many anomalies are still different?" Xia Yang sat in the middle of the room, facing the electric fan on the ceiling, hoping to get the wind near the water platform. I have seen the detailed explanation in the report at this moment. Shocked and simply read according to the press release, "Research has found that the animality of different anomalies is often very different..."

"Take Mr. Li from Jilin, who once subdued several wild boars with bare hands, and Ms. Zhao from Beijing, who held his breath for 42 minutes underwater. After Mr. Li was admitted to the hospital, some bear behaviors and preferences appeared. Ms. Zhao's body was abnormal. The situation reveals more and more amphibian characteristics..."

Xia Yang read it, and panicked herself first: "This is the cold winter, the non-shirtless man is going out and rolling in the snow for three days and three nights-it's going to be crazy."

The 333 four did not do anything else these nights. Once back to the dormitory, they swiped their mobile phones neatly, checked the latest reports on the research on physical abnormalities, and held relevant discussions until the lights were turned off. A dormitory like a steamer can't stop their investment, and preparation for the final exam is just this serious.

"Humans are humans, how can they become animals?" Ren Feiyu still had difficulty accepting this reality.

"Big brother, don't just sum it up by yourself," Li Junchi said. "You didn't read what was written after it. Although the abnormal situation shows animal characteristics, the original personality and preferences of the abnormal person have not changed significantly. At most, it is in the original A little bit of animality has been added to the foundation."

"You can also think about it from another angle," Lin Wu said. "Humans are originally a type of animal. Maybe these are the characteristics of ancient humans, but they are now reactivated in the anomalous."

Ren Feiyu: "Then what animality do I activate?"

This soul question made the air suddenly quiet.

The report about "animality" 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 more like a normal person than a normal person. The so-called "abnormal" never appeared again. Sometimes Lin Wu and the others could not help but wonder if the "weird fall" that night was theirs. Collective dizziness.

"Don't stop talking," Ren Feiyu waited eagerly for a long time, hesitated and decided to confess, "Although I can't jump out of the majestic posture that night, but in the past few days, I actually found other abnormalities in myself. Happening…"

Lin Wu was taken aback: "Huh?"

Li Junchi's eyes widened: "What?"

Xia Yang stunned: "What are you talking about?"

Now they are not hot anymore, they are not depressed, they are full of spirits and spirits.

Facing the awe-inspiring aura of the brothers, Ren Feiyu couldn't help but guilty backward, until his back was stuck to the wall, and then he said with difficulty: "Actually, that, me..."

Lin Wu, Xia Yang, Li Junchi: "Speak, emphasize, and point."

Ren Feiyu: "My eyesight has improved somehow. I used to squint my eyes when I was sitting in the last row of the classroom and looking at the blackboard, but now I look at it very clearly!"

Lin Wu: "Nothing?"

Ren Feiyu: "Also jumping down from a high place. In fact, I secretly tried a few times with you behind your back, but it wasn't like jumping down. I didn't dare to continue without you. I just jumped down from the wall normally..."

Li Junchi: "Then what?"

Ren Feiyu: "I found that when I landed, my feet were not as painful as before. After trying it several times, it was the same. So I thought the body might still decelerate automatically, but it was not obvious, so we didn't find it when we tried it that day. "

Xia Yang: "Okay, you are indeed mutated with certainty and no doubt."

Ren Feiyu: "...How many days have you suspected me?"

"Who told you not to tell us anything, pretending to be more normal than a normal person." Lin Wu relentlessly spit, while neatly stepping down from the top bunk.

Ren Feiyu had been nervous about hiding these for so many days, but now that he was criticized, he even wanted to cry: "Then I am afraid of affecting you... You are finally relieved, I am here again..."

"Thinking too much." Lin Wu, who got out of bed, gave him an unbearable look, and was almost blinded by the colorful electric fan. He had to cover his eyes and stare at classmate Ren from his fingers, "You are like a picture of a beast. , Is also the most beautiful boy of 333, do you understand?"

Ren Feiyu looked around 333 with tears in his eyes: "I love you..."

Lin Wu, Li Junchi, Xia Yang who were shot in circles by colorful lights: "..."

This dazzling love.

After getting out of bed, Lin Wu quickly sat down in front of the desk, flipped out the pen and paper, and listed the key points mentioned by Ren Feiyu one by one: "Good eyesight...it comes with slowing down or cushioning when landing..."

Xia Yang, who was sitting under the fan, also moved his stool and leaned forward: "There is still rolling in the air, don't forget the rolling in the air at the beginning..."

"If you look at the performance that night, it's most like a cat." Although Li Junchi didn't get close, the heart of participation had already flown away. "It doesn't mean that no matter how a cat falls, it can be Twist your body in the air?"

-A three-person research team was quickly established.

Xia Yang: "The cat's paw has a meat pad, which is also in line with the effect of landing cushion."

Lin Wu: "But cats are very alert."

Li Junchi: "That can't be Daewoo, he is so slow."

Xia Yang: "And didn't he still glide that night, I watched him fall diagonally from the bed to the center of the house, the cat can't glide."

Lin Wu: "If you talk about gliding, there are only birds or some specific animals that can glide. Wait for me to check it on my mobile phone..."

Xia Yang: "Isn't there a bird? Then it's glide, right? It won't fragrant."

Li Junchi: "And the bird is so dexterous, do you remember the few times we tried to put on the quilt later, Daewoo thumped down and it was not light at all."

"Why haven't we found out that animals can glide?" Xia Yang couldn't wait, squeezing next to Lin Wu and staring at his constantly sliding mobile phone screen.

Lin Wu's speed is already very fast, the web page is swiping and switching, and the information is memorized and memorized.

Only then did Xia Yang understand that Lin Wu didn't just check a few webpages, he wanted rigorous information.

In admiration, he found that Lin Wu, who wandered in the ocean of knowledge, seemed very happy. As he learned more about the knowledge points, he hummed small songs in his mouth.

Xia Yang really didn't want to eavesdrop this time, but the two were too close.

Lin Wu’s Indian-style little tune came into his ears instantly: "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 think of getting so close.

"It's almost there," interrupted the humming. Lin Wu, who had collected a lot of information, finally came to a relatively safe conclusion. "It should be a mammal with a membrane, that is, there is a layer of cortical membrane like sails on both sides of the body, which can make them Gliding down from the air, such as flying monkeys, flying squirrels, and honey gliders that many people use as pets nowadays are one of them."

Li Junchi: "Then what do their habits have in common with Daewoo, except for gliding?"

Lin Wu: "Small courage."

Xia Yang: "It's Daewoo."

Li Junchi: "That's it."

Ren Feiyu, who was watching silently throughout the whole process, was really hard to keep being well-behaved: "Are you studying together or forming a group to blackmail me..."

Xia Yang's mobile 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 Yu Guangli passed by suddenly, and then raised his head, Xia Yang was on the bed. At the most, Xia Yang stepped on the ladder leading to the upper bunk, and he jumped up with his strength.

"You are superb," ​​Li Junchi joked, "Or you can unload your ladder tomorrow."

Xia Yang is usually very flexible. Today, I may have listened to Lin Wu’s songs. His condition is particularly good. He immediately uttered a cry: "I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength is not allowed. Who can understand my decathlon? The distress of dragon and phoenix among people."

Li Junchi: "...You come down, I promise not to beat you."

Xia Yangle, while stinking poor, plugged in the charger, just about to connect to the phone, new information suddenly popped up on the top of the screen, it was a headline that a news app just pushed—

Amazing discovery! The outbreak of body abnormality completely coincides with the global spread of the fog at the beginning of the month!

Lin Wu, who has the same app, saw the push likewise.

He subconsciously clicked in—

Details: This unexplained body mutation, like the heavy fog at the beginning of the month, swept the world in a short time. Some scientists compared the global spread of the two and found a surprising overlap.

[Figure 1] This is a trend chart of the global outbreak of body variation in the past half a month.

[Picture 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 the spread and spread of the two is different, it can be found by comparison that the global outbreak of body mutations completely follows the trajectory of the fog at the beginning of the month.

Scientists from many countries expressed concern that if the causal relationship between the two is finally confirmed, then everyone who was in the fog at the beginning of the month may not be able to escape, and this body mutation may become a global disaster.

Lin Wu was stunned to see that in the end, his brain went blank.

There was a sudden thunder outside the window, like a depressed giant roaring at the other end of the sky.

The wind was violent, and the last torrential rain in late summer came.

"This rain is heavy enough." In the 509 dormitory, Yuan Esprit, who had just returned the message, put down his mobile phone, closed the window halfway down, and left a gap for ventilation, so that too much rain would come in.

"I look at the weather forecast, it will rain for at least two days, and then it will cool down," Ge Liang sat on the bed, almost wanting to raise his arms to celebrate the whole world, "My mother, it's cooling down—"

"Don't say it's useless," Wang Ye urged him, "Continue with that."

"Oh oh," Ge Liang looked down at the phone screen and continued to popularize science, "'animality' means that every abnormal person shows..."

In this dormitory where 3/4 of the members lacked curiosity and enthusiasm for the world, Ge Liang resolutely took on the important task of "Daily News Science Master". Basically, he spreads information about body variation in the dormitory every day. , Harder than the little bee.

However, the usual time for consultation and communication is always supported by Yuan Sijie, although the latter will still use WeChat to chat with one heart and two. But today Wang Ye has become the main supporter, and Ge Liang strongly suspects that this new development of "animality" is more attractive to the other party.

"So even 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, rare in thought.

After a while, he suddenly asked Ge Liang: "Then what animal are you?"

The author has something to say: Ge Liang:? ?
