【Summer Five】Iron City Wall

The beginning of the first year of high school is always very lively.The decent teaching building is surrounded by flowers, dozens of private cars are parked at the school gate, and every faculty member has a confident and proud smile on his face.It is rare for parents to personally pick up their children and send students who are "hopeful to achieve class leap" into the campus one by one, firmly believing that they will reach the peak that everyone dreams of in the next three years.

——Most of the families who insist on going to high school are quite capable, and they are willing to squeeze their heads on the single-plank bridge to reach the stars in the sky.

In fact, since District [-] has never had a unified school uniform, everyone dresses up differently, which is dazzling from a distance.The girls are flamboyantly teasing each other, and the boys have already bonded together in several conversations about aesthetic orientation; half of the parents are busy taking pictures, making the car and flowers appear in the corner of the camera in a derogatory way, out of focus, and deliberately acting as a new teaching The foreground of the building—it’s full of the sense of showing off, “Look, this is the most superior place in the five districts, even cars can only be used as a foil”.

The bookish air rolled around the campus faintly, rolling up a few leaves.

"Are you going to talk to me?"

In the classroom, the girls gathered in the front row, their scorching eyes focused on the boys in the last row who were buried in their sleep.His entire face was buried in the crook of his arms, only a head of dazzling silver hair was exposed, shining finely in the sunlight.

They have been coveting this one for a long time: It is said that he entered high school with the top score in the high school entrance examination in the district, and his family is an executive in a steel factory. He has hardly listened to the class since he entered school for a few weeks, but his grades have never dropped out of the top three.

More importantly - that face.

"I solemnly swear that I love him," Ban Hua said.

It's a pity that this handsome guy who sees flowers blooming is not as friendly and friendly as everyone imagined - his attitude is indeed polite and decent, but inexplicably gives people a sense of indifference and empty distance, no matter how close he is, he dare not reach out to touch the road A fence made of snow and ice.

The girls who have always faced difficulties and never gave up gradually gave up. They secretly complained that this stinky boy wearing sunglasses has a cold personality. The next day, he mustered up the courage to peek a few times, clutching his little heart and expressing satisfaction.

"Wake up." Someone knocked on the table with his fingers, and Wutiao got up in a daze, muttering without raising his head: "Anyway, there's nothing nice to hear, it's a waste of time."

His sleepy-eyed appearance is like a soft deer in the forest, and every strand of hair is sticky and exudes complaints, without the slightest indifference that the girls describe.

"That doesn't work either. Unless you are willing to give me the number one position, you should take a few more classes." Xia You sat down, reached out to grab the textbook that Wutiao used as a pillow, and said in a tone of resignation and compromise.

Wutiao Youyou woke up, facing Shang Xiayou's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.Three years have passed, the boy's facial features have grown a lot, and he looks particularly handsome and profound, like a tall and distant pine tree, with a light and mysterious scent of incense between his eyebrows and eyes.

Wujo moved his eyes away, stretched reluctantly, and the pen was twirling between his fingers soon after.

He and this tablemate stayed in the two-person posture throughout junior high school, whoever played better won the first place, and they were competing openly and secretly.Wutiao is particularly prominent in science, while Xia You writes good articles, like a free and easy literati.

As far as the results are concerned, the junior high school final exam was narrowly won by Wutiao.For this reason, he ridiculed Xia You for a whole summer vacation, saying, "Look, I won't take the first place if I don't attend the class." Then seize the opportunity to work harder, and try to stop Wutiao's bad mouth with grades.

The class bell rang, and the girls in the front row scattered. The teacher walked into the classroom slowly, looked around, took out the textbooks and began to lecture.

The high schools in the five districts can barely be regarded as half of the "elite education", and the teachers are much better than the junior high schools.Xia You listened reluctantly, and felt that at least it could be used to consolidate the foundation, which is not too bad; however, Wu Tiao was used to staying up late at night tinkering with the power armor, so he was naturally sleepy during the day, so he could only fall asleep in class, half a day. From time to time, his head rubbed against the Xiayou table.He lightly helped to help, so that the five sleepers would not fall to the ground and cause a tragedy.

A beautiful schoolmaster who never pays attention to lectures - Wutiao is very popular with girls, and so is Xia You.As the object of favor of the girls, Xia You always handles it very decently, neither offending others nor leaving any negative impression.He believes that Wujo will not be stumbling by these "distracting thoughts", so he never worries, only frowning when he encounters certain confession scenes occasionally, and suppresses a trace of suspicious irritability.

He never delved into it, let it go, and only thought that everything he had now was perfect.

After school that day, Wutiao bought a popsicle from the snack shop on Dongyi Street and gnawed on it while walking.

The setting sun was burning brightly, and the continuous clouds were full of red, forming a red silk in the sky, extending from west to east.Xia You's left eyelid twitched a few times, feeling uneasy inexplicably.

"Are you going to the chip shop later?" He couldn't help asking.

Five: "Go."

He took a bite of the popsicle, the tip of his tongue was dazzlingly red, and he quickly looked away as if summer oil was burning.

"Oh," he said vaguely, "then you...be careful."

Wutiao was surprised: "What's the matter? That's the city center, the city center, and it's only one street away from the west of District [-]. What can happen?"

Xia You had no basis, and also felt that she was a bit strange, so she changed the subject bluntly: "Okay. Hong Shu will be back soon, remember to show him the letter from last time."

After speaking, he himself felt embarrassed, so he simply waved his hand to bid farewell to Wujo, and got on the tram back to East Seventh Street.

The orange-yellow evening wind blows head-on, Xia You looks at the five thin backs, her heart beats uncontrollably.He almost stopped Wutiao, but he didn't say anything and felt that he was outrageous, so he could only try his best to put aside his thoughts and stop thinking about him.

Opening the door of the house, the familiar scenery came into view.The old smell of wooden furniture mixed with the smell of oily smoke poured out over the years, and the dust flew everywhere under the sun.

everything is normal.Xia You exhaled slowly, and the chaotic mood finally calmed down.

He returned to the room, took out the textbooks to review, and tried his best to ignore the sense of urgency.Maybe it's just that he didn't rest well, he told himself, he must sleep well tonight, otherwise he would have a tachycardia sooner or later.

The desk lamp is bright, and the pale yellow light seeps through the window, making everything extraordinarily quiet.

They have grown so fast in recent years that Hongshu had to re-customize both sets of tables and chairs to barely accommodate the tall and burly boys.Xia You lost his mind unknowingly, rubbed his fingertips on the connection at the foot of the table, and remembered Gojo Wu's confident "I must be taller than you".

He unconsciously smiled a little.

——Until the ground suddenly began to shake, the roar of mechanical operation came from a distance, and the solid foundation under the feet trembled violently.

"Today is the ventilation period," Xia You tried to calm her startled heartbeat, "I guess it's time."

The western half of District [-] slowly rose, once again hanging high in the air.The mud mixed with the soil layer fell down, and the roar shattered the tranquility shrouded in the street at dusk.

sense of violation.

Xia You frowned tightly, and subconsciously clenched the pen in her hand.

Something was wrong, the sense of dissonance was too strong for him to ignore.

What exactly is it……!

"Alert——! Alert——! Low-level wing science fictional invasion has been detected, martial law is imposed on East Fourth Street to East First Street, and all garrison troops are dispatched!"

The piercing and loud broadcast of the weather tower pierced the sky and pierced the eardrums.

Xia You was stunned, her mind went blank.

"Alert—! Alert—! The low-level wing science fictional species invasion has been detected, please stay indoors and wait for further instructions!"

The alarm bell is still ringing, no longer the soothing tail sound of winter, but short and sharp, with a ringing high frequency.Fantasy species invasion - this is an enemy that human beings can't resist with bare hands. Every year, [-]% of the corps patrols must die.The phantom species with wings on their backs is the only enemy that can invade the iron city wall, and the fifth district is located on the outermost layer, no matter what kind of attack occurs, it will definitely bear the brunt!

When Xia You regained consciousness, East Seventh Street had been left far behind.He ran wildly with a bag full of powered armor on his back, only Wutiao on Dongyi Street was left in his mind.The ground did not stop shaking, and besides the noise of mechanical work, there were also screams, cries for help and cries. Black smoke continued to rise above the city, and the loud noise of buildings collapsing could be heard endlessly.

Minako's office is located on East Ninth Street, and Hongshu is on a business trip. They are far away from the crisis.Only Gojo Satoru - Gojo Satoru is in the most fucking dangerous place!

He put everything behind him and moved his legs only by instinct.Excessive air was sucked into the lungs, and the swelling pain came from deep in the ribs. Every nerve was scrambling to scream, and the pain seemed to tear the muscles.

There was a motorcycle parked on the side of the road, and the owner was about to insert the key to start the ignition.Xia You snatched the car keys, stepped on the accelerator and sped out, leaving the panic-stricken car owner on the spot.

If Wu is so smart, nothing will happen to him.Xia You said to herself over and over again, her heart beating so fast that it almost exploded.The motorcycle was running fast, and as Dongyi Street got closer, what I saw became more and more terrifying: there were broken bricks and tiles under my feet, ruined buildings and walls spread all around, and raging fire engulfed half of the street.Screams, sharp sirens, and the heavy bombardment of driven armor gunfire can be heard endlessly.

"You can't pass here!" Someone stopped the motorcycle and sternly ordered: "The front is a blockade, return quickly!"

Xia You struggled to regain her sanity from the chaos, and saw a team of police officers using heavy shields to form obstacles and stop in front of the wheels.

"I'm looking for someone." He clenched his back molars and jumped out word by word, "Get out of the way, I will bear the consequences."

Before the police officer could reply, a piercing neigh suddenly came from the sky—a gigantic monster with a wingspan of more than [-] meters was about to take off into the air, its abdomen was covered with hilly tumors, and it was imprisoned in sharp claws similar to birds. With a dozen people.

"shooting!"

The driving cannon moved in response to the sound, and the gunpowder embedded in the back of the phantom species with lightning speed, and exploded after a short delay!Dark blue blood spurted in all directions, Fantasia wailed, flapped its wings and fell forward, collapsing three buildings in a row.The rescue team on standby immediately stepped forward to rescue the trapped humans and guided them to a safe place with well-trained training.

Xia You tried her best to look around, trying to find Wutiao among the panicked and fleeing crowd.The sky was covered by flying ash raised by the collapsed buildings, everything was covered in iron-gray mist, and the familiar silvery white was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly, the injured Phantasm flapped its wings again and left the ground with a hiss!Its movements are already very sluggish, the ammunition fired just now just hit the vital part of the back, and the injury will only continue to expand over time; who knows that this giant bird unreasonably set off a hurricane, dragged its blood all over the air, and was about to flick its tail and accelerate...

In an instant, Xia You saw a flash of light, disappearing in the left paw of the phantasmagoria that was always tightly clasped.He looked carefully with his heart hanging high in his arms, and saw a few strands of silver hair faintly showing through the gap between the fingers of his left claw, which took away all his breath in an instant like a life-threatening.

"Stop." His voice was hoarse, almost muttering to himself: "Stop!"

The accelerator pedal was slammed to the bottom, the motorcycle ran over the roadblock with a roar, and rushed towards the fantasy species at full speed!The police officer didn't react at all, and the frontal suppression team had already issued another order: "Second round, shoot!"

Tens of thousands of bullets are fired, all aimed at the fantasy leg tendons.The phantom species that flew hundreds of meters in just a few seconds was knocked down by the unstoppable shells, its body stiffened instantly, and plasma sprayed out.

Xia You, who was chasing after him by car, only saw Wutiao falling from a high altitude, like a fragile rag doll with blood-stained wings on his body.Quicker than he could think, he suddenly abandoned the car and jumped up, stretched his arms regardless, and tried his best to touch the corner of the boy's clothes——

"Hey!" Countless white steam spewed out from the ground of the fifth district, submerging everything in the thick white mist that could not be seen.
