Chapter 40 Sea Breeze and Thunder...Sculpture
Lin Yi looked at the words on the notice board, and felt that he knew each of these words, but couldn't understand them together.
It seems like he is doing some kind of strange reading comprehension, and the questions are written in the language of another country.
"There is one and only one road leading to the stadium...?"
He tilted his head halfway from the signboard and looked at the stadium.
Not counting the section of road they had walked before the sign, there was indeed only one road from the sign to the stadium, and there were street lights on the side. There was no road without street lights.
"Since it is a road that does not exist, why bother writing it out?"
"Is it because of the reasons behind?"
"If it rains on the way there, you need to rush to the gymnasium or teaching building as soon as possible..."
"This is also consistent with the description in the student code. Rainy and foggy days are abnormal weather. When encountering it, you need to take shelter as soon as possible, but..."
But [Physical education class is canceled due to rain. 】
cedous in physical education classes have been canceled due to rain, but the notice board has written emergency measures in case of rainâ€
He felt the environment again, there was a breeze, and there was no strong wind.
"Is it possible that... the weather was good when we left the teaching building, but the weather was bad once we arrived at the gymnasium?"
The "strong wind" that needs to be specifically marked on the notice board may be related to the weather...
"It's a bit strange, but... good weather is rare right now, so let's not think about it for now."
He shook his head, and then repeatedly observed the contents on the notice board several times to make sure that he had remembered several emergencies clearly, and then he was ready to leave.
Wei Liang on the side has been waiting for him for a long time.
"Having been here once, Ryoko has obviously memorized the rules by heart."
While Lin Yi was thinking about it, he found that Wei Liang was staring at the lampposts on the road all the time, as if he wanted to imprint the positions of those lampposts in his eyes.
"Liangzi, let's go!" Lin Yi reminded.
"Let's go, let's go!" Wei Liang also said, "Oh, by the way, have you memorized it all? Time is very tight, and if you don't memorize it, you won't..."
"I have memorized it." Lin Yi interrupted him.
Wei Liang's mouth twitched slightly, and he swallowed the sentence "It doesn't matter if you don't recite it, I have special skills."
Hence, he changed his words and muttered: "Uh... you've memorized it after all this trouble?"
Hah?" Lin Yi was stunned, "Didn't you memorize it?"
Wei Liang shook his head and said, "I'll carry a hammer."
"Gah...?"
"It's too convoluted." Wei Liang waved his hand, "This is actually simple. Just understand it. Listen to me. This is full of content. In the final analysis, it only needs one method. "
"Ah? One method?" Lin Yi was surprised.
He had always thought that Wei Liang was lying on the flat floor, but he did not expect that Wei Liang had already climbed up many floors.
Holy shit!
Chang Wei, you still said you don’t know martial arts? !
Seeing Lin Yi's surprised look, Wei Liang was instantly proud, and then he spoke loudly: "Look at this whole list of rules, which seems to be comprehensive. In fact, we only need to look at this one."
He put his hand on item 4 and emphasized "Hold this street light tightly."
"As long as it rains, we won't do anything, whether it's a teaching building or a gymnasium, so we might as well give up on the search! We'll just hug the street light pole and hang up on the spot, waiting for the security or physical education teacher to come."
"Ah, this..." Lin Yi was shocked. This hair-picking method sounds outrageous, but...it doesn't seem to be unfeasible?
"Are you right?" Wei Liang said proudly.
Lin Yi was still stunned. Wei Liang's approach was equivalent to skipping the first three options and directly "actively" choosing the fourth option.
In other words, in Wei Liang's world, there are only two situations:
First, the weather is good, so you can arrive at the stadium naturally;
Second, the weather is bad and the tower hangs up to request jungle support.
Instead of summarizing several options into one, we directly crossed out all the options except hanging up.
Fundamentally choose two techniques of lying flat.
Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang, feeling a sense of admiration.
He slowly raised his thumb and spit out one word: "Six."
"But... if we really encounter the second situation, it should be windy and rainy, right? Are you sure you won't get soaked in the rain while hugging the street light pole?" He raised the fatal question.
Before he finished speaking, he saw Wei Liang digging around in his crotch pocket for a long time and took out something that looked like a plastic bag rolled into a small ball.
"I've brought my raincoat."
"Oh, by the way..." He reached into the pocket on the back of his butt again, pulled out a small ball in a plastic bag, and handed it to Lin Yi, "I've prepared one for you."
"Stop being in a daze, let's go, let's go!" Wei Liang thrust a raincoat into Lin Yi's hand, pointed at the students around him who were gradually embarking on this road, and said, "Look, they are all on the road, it's getting late, let's go quickly!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Wei Liang urged as he crossed the signboard.
Lin Yi reluctantly put away his raincoat and quickly followed.
As he crossed the signboard, he didn't know what he thought of. He looked down at his watch and marked the time.
14:14.
…
X May 7, 2023, 14:15.
Lin Yi and Wei Liang walked together on the road to the gymnasium, and many classmates were also walking with them on this road.
Lin Yi remembered the warning on the signboard and observed the street lamp numbers on the roadside as he walked.
After walking like this for 2 minutes, Lin Yi suddenly sniffed.
"Ryoko." He whispered, "Did you smell anything?"
Wei Liang continued walking forward as if he didn't hear what he said.
"Did you smell anything?" Lin Yi asked, "Also, did you hear me calling you just now?"
"Did you call me?" Wei Liang pointed to his nose, "I may not have noticed it just now. By the way, what smell did you say? Why didn't I smell anything?"
"Don't you smell it..." Lin Yi suddenly thought of the fact that he couldn't see the teaching building just now. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Then it would be better if I didn't tell you?"
Wei Liang was slightly startled, and his expression suddenly became serious.
He stared at Lin Yi with squinted eyes for a while, and then handed another set of raincoats to Lin Yi.
Just when Lin Yi was wondering if Wei Liang had any ulterior motives in doing this, Wei Liang cautiously probed: "How about you smell it...could it be the smell of the raincoat? In that position, they were somewhat edified..."
Lin Yi: "..."
The painting style suddenly became very strange. Lin Yi shook his hand and wanted to stuff the raincoat into Wei Liang's mouth.
“Get out!” he said out of breath.
Wei Liang shrank his neck, took back his raincoat angrily, and continued walking to the gymnasium.
Lin Yi glanced at the raincoat in his hand and hesitated for a moment. After all, he didn't make up his mind to force himself to smell it.
He closed his eyes, focused on his sense of smell, and then took a deep breath...
The air penetrated into his nasal cavity like a smoke cloud, passed through the respiratory tract and entered his lungs. After his lungs rolled around, it slowly rushed out from the gap between his lips...
"There is indeed a smell..."
He smelled a faint fishy smell, mixed with a thin rancid smell.
It was as if someone had hit the mud with a shovel at the upwind outlet, and then the smell of fish and shrimp carcasses mixed with the mud floated down and reached his nose.
He opened his eyes and felt a little strange.
At this moment, he heard the leaves rustling in the forest, and the wind blew through the treetops one after another, making the leaves ripple incessantly.
The wind is blowing.
According to the instructions on the sign, this is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to make a fuss.
But with the wind blowing against his face, Lin Yi could not smell any element related to "tree".
There is no smell of earth or the fragrance of flowers and plants in the wind, only a fishy smell that is getting stronger and stronger.
It is like the kind of smelly fish and rotten shrimp that died in the sun, and was thrown into the mud and stirred around.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a salty, wet and dry breath hit his face along with the wind.
He suddenly realized that this was not ordinary, this was...
"It's the sea breeze!"
"It's the smelly sea breeze!"
The smell of rotten fish and shrimps was also solved. Since it was the sea breeze, it would naturally carry the smell of fish and shrimps.
They are all produced by fish and shrimps that were washed ashore by wind and waves, and were scorched to death by the sun because they had no time to escape.
Lin Yi found the answer.
But he also suddenly realized a serious problem:
"That's wrong!"
"I'm in the mountains, where does the sea breeze come from?!"
He looked around and suddenly found that many classmates had suddenly disappeared on the long road.
There was only him and Wei Liang walking in front of him.
"Where are the people?! Why are the others missing?!"
"Liangzi? Liangzi! Liangzi!"
He quickened his pace and chased Wei Liang, but before he could even run a few steps, the wind speed around him increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hula la...Hulla la——"
The strong wind was raging, like thousands of troops rushing out from directly in front of Lin Yi, pushing him unable to move forward.
The leaves in the forest rustled, like countless people laughing in a cold and difficult manner.
「Wind! The wind is picking up!!」
He suddenly felt that the light around him had dimmed at some point, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.
That cloud on the side of the mountain floated over his head at some point!
"Did it come out due to the wind?"
"Or...?!"
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
14:18.
"One minute, only one minute has passed!"
One minute, it's dark? !
Wei Liang walked in the strong wind as if he were walking on flat ground.
It seemed that the strong wind fell on the head of one of Lin Yi's heads.
Lin Yike ignored this situation. He had a premonition that something was wrong, but he didn't know where it was.
He braved the strong wind, shrieking with shoes and feet without shoes, alternating with each other, step by step, closing the distance between him and Wei Liang.
Wei Liang seemed to be suddenly unaffected by the strong wind. Lin Yi didn't know who had the problem between him and Wei Liang.
He struggled to catch up with Wei Liang, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand with great difficulty, and patted Wei Liang on the shoulder.
Wei Liang's body was very stiff, as if he was touching a hard stone when he was photographed.
Lin Yi was startled.
And Wei Liang suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, he slowly turned around with a stiff movement, like a pair of invisible hands twisting a huge piece of rubber.
A strange face appeared on "Wei Liang's" face and fell into Lin Yi's eyes.
Little genius.
?!"
Lin Yi's pupils were shaking, his steps staggered, and his body became unstable. He stumbled back in the strong wind, rolled twice, and sat down on the ground.
The person in front of me who was supposed to be "Wei Liang" turned into a little genius wearing Wei Liang's clothes the moment he turned around!
To be precise, it is a sculpture by a little genius.
The sculpture of the little genius with a distorted face that maintains strong fear and horror on his face!
The sculpture of the little genius who disappeared into the green forest!
At this moment, the little genius sculpture faced Lin Yi, as still as a dead thing.
Suddenly, it moved slowly, like a robot with insufficient power, and walked towards Lin Yi diligently.
But it couldn't lift its feet at all, and could only move little by little with difficulty.
It stretched out its hand with difficulty, as if to strangle Lin Yi's throat, but it was still some distance away from Lin Yi, and could only reach out its hand from its sleeve.
It is a sculptural arm, which is constantly covered with fine cracks as it moves, and then peels off pieces of ultra-thin plaster fragments like peeling skin.
The gypsum fragments shatter when exposed to the wind, turning into countless white powders and disappearing.
The wind became more and more fierce, and there was a faint thunder in the sky.
The terrible storm is gathering, and the dull thunder seems to be the last cry from the sky before the storm comes.
ttled by thunder, the storm was torn apart, and dazzling white lightning arcs flashed in the gloomy sky.
The movement of the little genius sculpture froze in mid-way, and then for some unknown reason, it slowly and stiffly turned around and continued to move along the same path.
The strong wind howled, but the little genius sculpture was not affected at all.
Lin Yi suddenly realized why he saw "Wei Liang" walking away so easily.
Because the texture of the sculpture is solidified, it cannot be blown by the wind no matter how strong it is.
