Chapter 2: Inside the city, outside the world

The gentle sunbeams penetrated the clouds and swayed brilliantly on the land in late winter and early spring.

Compared with the scorching heat of summer, the warm sun in winter makes people feel more comfortable and precious. As compared to now, people want to return to the peaceful, quiet and peaceful world 300 years ago, right?

Warm sun, white clouds, breeze, and a playground with white runway lines, teenagers strolling around the school in twos and threes. They were all wearing blue and white school uniforms, and they were talking to each other about a certain star coming out with a new song, or that I bought another poster of him yesterday and put it on the bedroom wall. Really happy laughing.

How beautiful.

Even just seeing these words describing the campus can awaken many people's memories of their youth. That is how many people still think about campus life after entering the society.

When I was seventeen or eighteen, the most wonderful youth dance in my life. The children in the school are the happiest people.

Looking further afield, on the old street outside the school gate, the rush hour for early morning work has passed. At this time, the people on the road are all uncles and aunts who are walking around. They are talking to each other about which vegetable market's food has risen in price again. , talking about how much his eldest grandson scored in the last exam, talking about how good his daughter-in-law was to him, and bought himself a set of fur coats two days ago for a small thousand dollars!

Comfortable and happy.

A little later, the housewives who have cleaned up the house should also go out of the house, thinking about what to cook tonight, to reward the husband who worked hard all day and the children who study hard, with a smile on their faces and mouths. humming a tune.

Here, it is very quiet and peaceful.

But, here... it's just in the city... that's all.

Sunshine, white clouds, quiet streets, all these scenes are reflected in the eyes of a student on the third floor of the teaching building in the school.

Huaxia, Liaoshen Province, Southern District of Beiming City.

Southern District Middle School, Class 2, Class 3.

AD, 3015... March 2, Monday.

First day of school.

Chen Xingxi sat in the last seat in the classroom by the window. If you are not leaning against the window, how can you see the scenery outside the school gate.

With his right elbow resting on the table casually, his right hand leaning on his face, with lazy and radiant eyes, he looked at the distant sky, white clouds, and warm sun.

Obviously not listening carefully to the class!

Chen Xingxi continued to stare at the sky outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

This city is still that city, but this world is not the same world as it was three hundred years ago.

In Chen Xingxi's eyes, a large piece of silver suddenly flashed across the sky! The feathers are towering, covering the sky and the sun, and flying quickly, smashing away countless clouds.

A silver eagle!

Looking in the direction where the silver giant eagle glared, it was a dark red magic bird. The crown of the head was burning with red, orange, and blue flames, and the eyes were full of raging demonic fire.

Above the clouds, the two giant birds were like two generals, each riding a war horse in an ancient battlefield, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, at this moment motionless, blood would be spilled on the spot.

One silver and one red.

The Silver-winged Goshawk Demon Lord and the Demon Flame Scarlet Phoenix.

The fluttering of the wings affected the hurricane, and the shrieks resounded through the sky. It seems that the next moment, two ferocious magic birds will confront each other on the battlefield in the sky, scattering silver or red feathers from the sky.

Chen Xingxi blinked, the two magic birds in his imagination disappeared without a trace, the sky was still the quiet sky, how could there be any magic birds? The white clouds move slowly with the breeze.

Just under the sunlight, somewhere above the sky flashed an unnatural reflection of light.

Although "that thing" is colorless, it is also composed of material energy after all, and occasionally reflects light when illuminated by the sun.

——Safety barrier.

It is so peaceful here, the old people enjoy their family, the middle-aged people work hard, and the children study happily in the campus.

But outside the barrier.

Chen Xingxi looked out the window and thought to himself, "There is one more year, just one year. After the college entrance examination, at the coming-of-age ceremony, the unlocking ceremony can be performed. Become the fittest.

At that time, only by getting admitted to an ideal university, practicing hard, and participating in the battlefield outside the city, can you keep all the monsters out of the barrier and protect everyone here. "

Suddenly, there was a chill down my spine.

Could it be that he was targeted by some monster? Impossible, how could there be monsters in the enchantment! Although the southern district of Beiming City is close to the sea, facing the boundless Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea and the endless sea monsters, there is an army stationed on the coast.

The army, led by "that man". The man with itchy teeth that Chen Xingxi respected, feared and hated.

It's not a monster, could it be...

His mood quickly recovered, and sure enough, Chen Xingxi saw a person slowly walking towards him from the podium. A person more "terrifying" than Warcraft.

I'm so crazy! I dare to slip out of the class teacher's class!

Under the shroud of a huge crisis, Chen Xingxi was like a computer that was down. Crash, blue screen. There is no operation.

Who am I, where am I, what should I do...

Standing in front of Chen Xingxi was a female teacher in her thirties. She wore pale pink metal-rimmed glasses, her skin was not fair, and she didn't have any delicate makeup. She was just a simple people's teacher, a gardener...

Chen Xingxi: The gardener should be cutting me now...

Seeing that the history book in Teacher Bai Xiaojie's hands is gradually rolling into a tube, Chen Xingxi feels that his smart IQ has taken over the high ground again!

If you do nothing, you will die miserably!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up and lowered his head slightly.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I slipped away."

How cowardly, how cowardly.

Bai Xiaojie is not very tall, wearing high heels just over 1.6 meters. She stared at Chen Xingxi, who was almost 1.8 meters tall in front of her, and sighed slowly, "Hey, let me tell you what you want!"

Pushing on the pink glasses, he continued: "It's the second semester of high school now, and the students in the third grade upstairs have only 100 days left before the college entrance examination. After they graduate, we will be in the third class, and you are still in class now. Get away!"

Chen Xingxi: Counsel (°ー°〃)

Bai Xiaojie: "Your college entrance examination is one less subject than others? You only take geography and ideology and politics?"

Chen Xingxi was like a little daughter-in-law who was angry but didn't dare to resist: "No, no, but also history."

Bai Xiaojie: "How many did you take in the final exam last time? I seem to remember it pretty well."

"Forehead…". Chen Xingxi hesitated.

What a joke, how could I remember how many I took the test myself. I only have practice in my mind! Practice!

Teacher Bai seemed to have given up what he could ask from Chen Xingxi's mouth. He turned to face Chen Xingxi in front of him and asked, "Academic committee, what was the rank of Chen Xingxi's class and grade in the final exam last semester?"

When Chen Xingye heard the teacher calling him, he immediately stood up.

The study committee member looked a bit like Chen Xingxi, with an eternal smile on the corner of his mouth, "Ah, teacher, let me check." After finishing speaking, Chen Xingye sat back in his seat and rummaged through the drawer for last semester's grades list.

Bai Xiaojie followed this direction and asked somewhere in the front row in the middle of the class: "Monitor, you also have transcripts there. You can also look for it together."

It may be faster to find two people together than one person.

The monitor Ye Yan had been paying attention to this direction. Hearing the teacher's question, he blushed slightly and stood up: "Student Chen Xingxi ranked fifth in the final exam last semester, and the fourteenth in the grade." After speaking, she quickly sat down. , The expression is quite nervous, and the two small hands are holding the pants on his legs, not knowing what he is thinking.

Although Ye Yan is wearing a school uniform, her appearance is not mediocre. Generally, after such a girl goes to college, as long as she dresses up a little and puts on a beautiful dress, many boys will chase after her.

Hearing this, the students in the back row of the class began to laugh in low voices.

Ye Yan, whose face was already a little rosy, turned even redder when she heard the laughter of her classmates.

"What are the students laughing at, ah, is it because I answered too quickly. Yes, generally speaking, how can a person remember a classmate's ranking and grades so clearly..."

Ye Yan lowered her head and covered half of her face with the bangs in front of her forehead, as if that way no one would find her. He glanced back secretly, and found that the eyes of the classmates were all turned towards Chen Xingxi, who stood up and "punished to stand". He didn't seem to be laughing at himself before, and the blush on his face gradually faded.

The students' attention was all on Chen Xingxi, but no one was wondering why the monitor could name Chen Xingxi's exam ranking so quickly.

The students in the back row are generally not as good as those in the front row, with only two exceptions.

Chen Xingye, and his brother Chen Xingxi.

The two of them sat in the back row because they were too tall.

Chen Xingye, the study committee member, is always the first in the class, and he is always the first in all grades. He seldom gives up the "Top Scholar" to other classes. As for Chen Xingxi, he was hovering between the third and tenth place in the class.

Although he is not as good as the younger brother of the school committee, being able to maintain the top ten in the class is not bad. When teachers criticize students, they usually ask about their grades first, and then they say things such as "the grades in a certain subject are too low" and "this ranking has to work hard", but Chen Xingxi was fifth in the class last semester, so Mr. Bai couldn't say anything. His rank is too low. In their world, the top ten in the class are all good grades worth looking up to!

Chen Xingye heard that the monitor had answered the teacher's question, so he no longer rummaged through the transcript, but turned around, looking at his twin brother a little worried and speechless. Who would have thought that Chen Xingxi, who was called by the teacher to stand up, even took the time to secretly return a cheap look to Chen Xingye.

Chen Xingye felt a little disgusted after being "sneaked" by his brother. He turned around immediately, flipped through his textbook, shook his head and said to himself, "Oh, I shouldn't worry about you, even being called up by the teacher is not honest. I'd better learn by myself." His eyes were full of tenderness.

Chen Xingye really didn't know what to say to this brother.

Mingming is more serious than him in doing homework every night, but he always deliberately misses several questions during exams. If my brother is willing, he should also be able to answer full marks.

——Unforgettable, quick thinking. The outward manifestation of strong spiritual power.

And spiritual power is an indispensable power in a person, and it is also one of the three major indicators to measure the personal strength of the fittest.

When Bai Xiaojie heard the light laughter of the classmates, he felt a little irritated, and said to the classmates who were whispering, "What are you laughing at! Can the fifth place in the class slip out of class!"

Mr. Bai pushed his glasses and said to Chen Xingxi, "It's not the time for the first year of high school either, and studying this kind of thing can't be relaxed. The teacher doesn't mean to blame you, but I think you and your brother are both very smart children. …”

Teacher Bai, whose tone gradually softened, softened his voice a little, and the anger on his face turned into kindness, and said earnestly: "You should work harder, you can discuss with Chen Xingye every day when you are studying at home. Question, you two make progress together."

Teacher Bai was talking, as if he felt that his tone was too soft, and immediately pretended to be serious and said, "You know what's wrong!"

Chen Xingxi looked cute when she saw Teacher Bai pretending to be angry, and almost laughed.

Of course, I don't dare to laugh when I laugh. I'm being criticized. If I do laugh, I'm afraid I don't know how I died...

Chen Xingxi nodded his head like garlic: "I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong."

Mr. Bai stretched out the teaching material that was rolled into a rolling pin in his hand and said, "Well, I won't punish you too much. You go to the corridor with the book and stand for a while, and come back by yourself after two or three minutes, okay?"

Chen Xingxi scratched his head and said with a smile, "Hehe, thank you teacher." He turned to pick up the textbook and a black pen on the table, and obediently went to the corridor.

As soon as he took two steps, he heard Teacher Bai say behind him, "No. 5 in the class... Work hard at the end of this semester, give me a grade-5 exam!"

Chen Xingxi staggered, did not dare to look back, and walked out quickly.

Let's talk, let's talk... hehe...

Teacher Bai returned to the podium and continued the class. And Chen Xingxi in the corridor also opened his own history textbook. I saw that Chen Xingxi's book was full of notes, perhaps more detailed and complete than Teacher Bai's textbook!

Currently, the unified textbooks used by high schools in various provinces in China have more blank space than text content. Students who preview in advance must consult a lot of books and materials in order to have a preliminary grasp of the course, instead of just flipping a few pages back and answering the questions asked by the teacher like in the previous era.

Chen Xingxi leaned lazily against the wall in the corridor, looking at his history textbook.

Alas, the last unit.

Ancient history, Renaissance history...

And then there is...

The history of catastrophe.

"Students, we are going to study the last unit today. The progress of other subjects should be similar, and they are all nearing the end. After finishing the last unit, we will start to review the college entrance examination. We will soon become the third class of senior high school... In short, everyone must Work hard!"

Teacher Bai pushed his glasses and said, "The last unit, what we are going to learn is... the history of cataclysms."

No matter how naughty the classmates were before, they all restrained their smiles and became serious, and the atmosphere in the class gradually became solemn.

The history of catastrophe - three heavy words.

"In 2700 AD, people were celebrating and looking forward to the night that crossed the century. In the distant universe, a star collapsed and exploded far away from us. The phenomenon of stellar explosions in the history of the universe It's not uncommon in China, but this time..."

"The energy storm generated by the explosion shredded the already fragile ozone layer, and countless cosmic rays poured into the earth's atmosphere and merged with the pollutants on the earth."

Teacher Bai told the tragic history vividly and solemnly, and the classmates frowned. Some students whispered: "We must protect the environment! If our ancestors could have treated the earth on which we live...maybe not..."

Teacher Bai listened to the whispers of the classmates clearly, but did not stop it. Yes, isn't it the original intention of teaching to be able to make students feel something and experience something?

Ms. Bai continued her course: "After a brief impact and fusion reaction between cosmic energy and earth pollution, a magical energy is produced, and it is this energy that makes the original animals and plants on our earth change into We later called the creatures [Beasts]. Not only that, but this energy also eroded us human beings recklessly. Humans at that time either died from the claws of the monsters, or died under the erosion of energy…”

"This kind of energy was named... cataclysm factor by later scientists."

"The catastrophic factor not only mutated animals and plants, but also awakened ancient creatures that were sleeping underground. Those ancient creatures had unimaginable power in their bodies. Together with the beasts, they attacked the human city. ! …

Xu Yang, do you have any questions? "

In the front row of the classroom, a white boy raised his hand. This boy with glasses is called Xu Yang, and his academic performance is also in the top five in his class all year round, and his attitude towards learning is extremely serious. Every teacher is full of praise for him. His learning attitude was really the opposite of someone in the corridor who was punishing him.

Xu Yang stood up and asked: "Teacher, I checked Dr. Wang Qunli's "Catastrophic Beasts" last night, and Dr. Wang proposed a hypothesis. He believes that those animals and plants that mutate with catastrophic factors are called by us. For the magical beasts, and the other beasts awakened from the ground, would they have mutated from ordinary animals in the earlier ancient times, also affected by catastrophic factors or other elements?"

Mr. Bai replied with some surprise: "Yes~www.wuxiahere.com~ It seems that Xu Yang did take the pre-study very seriously last night. This hypothesis does exist, and it has been more than 200 years old, and the biological community is still arguing about it. endlessly…"

A loud-sounding classmate in the back row said to himself, "I'll go! These awakened beasts won't be the mythical beasts recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas and myths!"

Although he was talking to himself, his voice was so loud that Teacher Bai could hear it clearly.

"Tie Han! Stand up!"

Tie Han, who had a loud voice, stood up and muttered in his heart: I'm already very quiet, how could Teacher Bai still hear me?

Chen Xingxi in the corridor came in and made a mouth gesture to Tie Han: Tie Hanhan, come out and accompany me.

Tie Han turned his head and ignored him, quietly waiting for Teacher Bai's "trial".

Teacher Bai: "Tie Han, your idea is very good, but next time you have to raise your hand before speaking in class. Sit down first."

Tie Han is more than 1.8 meters tall and is the tallest student in the class. Although Teacher Bai is standing on the podium, several meters away from Tie Han in the last row, he still feels a kind of pressure from the tall man on the "dwarf". feel.

Teacher Bai looked down at her high heels and thought: No, I have to buy a higher one.

Let's continue the class, "Is there any connection between the mutated beast and the awakened ancient beast, and whether the ancient beast is a mutated beast in the ancient times, and why the ancient beast has been sleeping underground... These questions are now in the academic world. The world is still a hot topic of debate. If you are interested, you can choose to major in biology at university, and continue your studies, study biology, become an expert and conduct research in the future... In short, we generally do not consider these two beasts. Classes are distinguished, but collectively referred to as Warcraft! Let's continue today's history lesson..."
