wake of the wild

Boundless darkness enveloped the sky, a desolate bay without a lighthouse, and even the night sky was too stingy to give a glimmer of light.

Something was struggling in the raging waves, and sometimes it was difficult to reveal a little brownish red on the surface of the water, and sometimes it was photographed by the huge waves.The piercing screams were piercing, but they were so small that they could hardly be heard in the boundless ocean.

A drowning red fox.

It desperately wanted to swim to the shore, but its weak body couldn't withstand the resistance of the waves, and its eyes blinded by the salty sea water couldn't tell the direction of the shore.

Don't want to die.

Hu Lingyu didn't want to die at all.

But the body temperature was rapidly losing, the body became more and more stiff, the water overflowed the eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and the red fox gradually stopped struggling and sank to the bottom of the sea little by little.

The world turned into a chaotic blue, and Hu Lingyu saw the gods.

Come in light, swim to him, catch him, and bring him back to the world together.

The moment the water broke through, there was a bright galaxy in the sky.

The red fox who was clutching the god's chest raised his head and saw Lu Qi's face. 25-year-old Lu Qi.

In the 406 dormitory of the fourth largest university, Hu Lingyu woke up from a dream with sweat in his hair, as if he had just been fished out of the sea.

Before dawn, he gasped lightly in the quiet darkness, still in shock.

The humidity of the sea water and the temperature of Lu Qi still seemed to remain on the skin.

Hu Lingyu's memory after falling into the sea is fuzzy, only fragments of suffocation and fear remain, and waking up again is a rebirth.But the dream just now was so realistic that it made people frightened. The moment he woke up, Hu Lingyu even felt that it all happened for real.

Could it be that the swimming pool was rescued by Lu Qi last night, so there are encounters every day and dreams at night?Then why did the dream not Lu Qi, but the 25-year-old Captain Lu?

I don't know if he was thinking too hard, Hu Lingyu suddenly felt dizzy, the world was upside down, and he was top-heavy.

He hugged the quilt tightly, like a drowning man clinging to driftwood.

After a while, the extreme discomfort slowly disappeared.

Hu Lingyu was sweating profusely, and raised his hand to touch his forehead, feeling slightly cool.

For the next week, Hu Lingyu spent all his time in the swimming pool, perhaps because he gradually overcame his psychological barrier and never had any weird dreams again.This also made him feel a little less burdened and a little more joyful when he honed his swimming skills with Rhubarb using the dog-planing flop.

Halfway through, he also thought about changing his swimming style and doing a handsome freestyle or something. After all, there were so many people watching during the exam, it would be unseemly for a dog to plan.As soon as Naihe changed his movements secretly, he was caught by Mr. Lu.

"Don't change it by yourself, the posture closest to nature is the most comfortable." Teacher Lu said.

Hu still struggled a bit at that time, and he used a very high-level reason: "But the stroke efficiency of freestyle is higher than that of dog planing."

Teacher Lu: "That's for families with long hands and long legs."

Student Fox: "I also have long legs."

Teacher Lu: "It is indeed counted by the standard of the fox family, but by the standard of the deer family..."

Student Fox: "How?"

Teacher Lu: "I'm going to make the artificial waves bigger."

... After that, Hu Lingyu never mentioned the matter of changing his swimming style again, for fear of being hurt by such a silky change of subject a second time.

In early July, the scorching heat came, and the temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius for several days. It was so hot that people had difficulty breathing when walking outside.

It was raining overnight, and the main control system of the air conditioner in the canine teaching building was malfunctioning. In the past two days, the students in the canine class, regardless of their grades, had fallen into hell during class time.

"Fuck, no, no, no..."

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, several students who couldn't stand it went out to find cold water at the tap.The second quarter will continue, and everyone can only stick to the classroom like a flaming mountain without love.

"Why is it so hot? It's like this in the north. How can you live in the south?"

"Don't worry about others, the temperature in the whole south has generally dropped in the past two days, with an average of only [-] degrees."

"impossible."

"Check the weather forecast yourself."

"This temperature difference is too weird."

"I read a study that said that since the fog, the temperature in the north has been increasing year by year, and the temperature in the south has been cooling year by year. The climate anomaly has long existed, but it is particularly obvious this year."

"Then what is the specific reason?"

"do not know."

"It's been more than 20 years, and the cause of the fog has not been found yet, so don't expect anything else."

"You said that if the summer heat reaches [-] degrees in the future, how can we live?"

"Go south."

"What if the south is so cold that it freezes in summer?"

"Then no one should live. Have you ever seen a movie? Extreme weather is the harbinger of the end."

The conversation became more and more endless, but Hu Lingyu listened with interest, and even seriously thought about how he would survive PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds if it really came to the end of the world.

Lu Qi sent a message at this time: Six o'clock, the training ground, practice confrontation today.

today?

Hu Lingyu looked at the slightly distorted scenery outside due to the steaming heat...

Hu Lingyu: The sun hasn't set at six o'clock.

Lu Qi: So?

Hu Lingyu: It's too hot, how about going to the swimming pool to practice for another day?

Lu Qi: It will only get hotter during the exam.

Hu Lingyu was at a loss for words and had to admit that what Lu Qi said made sense.

The other person seemed to have misunderstood his hesitation, and sent another message: Don't play tricks, see you at six.

Hu Lingyu watched the text message silently, feeling complicated and messy.

After training together for so many days, he still didn't understand Lu Qi.The man sometimes spoke harshly, and sometimes was gentle and tolerant. He instructed him and Rhubarb to train meticulously, but if he really wanted to stimulate you, he could get you up with just a few words.

But generally speaking, Lu Qi smiled at them more, less seriously, more tolerant, and less vicious.

Hu Lingyu firmly believes that Lu Qi's active approach must have an unknown purpose.But even if there is a plan, not everyone can achieve this level.

He sacrificed his own test preparation time, but he would not get the corresponding training benefits - training with people who are worse than himself cannot improve, just like water flowing downhill. In this so-called mutual aid relationship, Lu Qi is Natural giver.

Six o'clock, training ground.

Although animalization is prohibited in the first grade, and the confrontation exams for each major are also completed in human form, it is inevitable that there will be loss of control during the training. Just in case, Hu Lingyu and Huang Chong still changed into animalization training clothes.

Sure enough, the sun hadn't set yet, and the air was so hot that even taking a breath made one's throat burn.

The training ground was empty as far as the eye could see, obviously few people were willing to torture themselves at this time.

There were shade trees in several of the confrontation fields, but Lu Qi chose the barest one, with no shelter and direct sunlight.

Rhubarb raised his hand in embarrassment to cover it, and asked after discussing, "Can we change the venue?"

"No." Hu Lingyu answered for Coach Lu, "He likes to bask in the sun."

This is called drying?This is called baking!Rhubarb looked at Lu Qi with some kind of indescribable admiration, it really was not an ordinary person.

Lu Qi looked sideways slightly, as if surprised by Hu Lingyu's straightforward expression.

Hu Lingyu deliberately raised his eyebrows at him, the stalking was exposed, and there was nothing to hide the results of the stalking.

The two looked at each other tacitly for a moment, Lu Qi stepped back, opened the distance from them, lowered his upper body slightly, and confronted him: "One on one, rhubarb first."

I don't know from which day, Lu Qi started to call out rhubarb, and when Hu Lingyu found out, he had already gotten used to it.

Huang Chong didn't waste any time, and immediately entered the battle preparation mode, fixed his eyes on Lu Qi, charged up his whole body, and rushed towards him in the next second.

His figure was bigger than Hu Lingyu's, but he was not good enough in front of Lu Qi.Lu Qi had broad shoulders and narrow waist, slender but still strong. The moment Huang Chong approached, he quickly grabbed Huang Chong's arm, dodged flexibly, and turned from defense to offense.

"Don't be disturbed by your opponent," Lu Qi said quickly, "find a way to escape, regain the initiative, and continue to implement your own tactics."

Huang Chong listened carefully and struggled to free the captured arm.

However, Lu Qi clamped down extremely tightly and didn't release a trace of water: "If you can't get out, you can directly implement your own tactics, and if you don't have the conditions, you have to kill your own blood." He stared closely at Huang Chong's eyes, with a strong Encouragement, "As long as you are not afraid of death, you are afraid of others."

"Drink!" Huang Chong shouted suddenly, and hit Lu Qi's chest heavily with his head.

Lu Qi stepped back immediately, and his hands loosened.

Huang Chong didn't slow down at all. He was obviously a canine, but he rushed forward like a fighting bull with all his strength.

Lu Qi was thrown to the ground, but turned over and dodged aside.

Huang Chong rolled off the edge of the field under the momentum of inertia.

In the confrontation test, "out of bounds" is considered a loss.Huang Chong finally regained his composure from the hot-blooded attack, got up in a hurry, and ran back to pull Lucy: "Are you okay? I just got hot..."

"It's right to have a hot brain," Lu Qi used his strength to get up, "If you want to defeat the beast, you have to turn yourself into a beast first."

Patting the dirt on his body, he smiled at Rhubarb.

"Again, when you let me 'out of bounds', you will be considered crazy."

Hu Lingyu didn't know whether it was Lu Qi who was too good at touching people's hearts, or Rhubarb's natural stupidity and sweetness, anyway, one dared to say it, the other dared to believe it, and the two really went crazy just like this.

The pastoral dog attacked again and again, and the sika deer defended again and again. Later, the pastoral dog went crazy and almost let the sika deer out of bounds several times, so the sika deer also became serious, showing its antlers like a knife.

After No.20 went out of bounds five times, Da Huang couldn't get up again, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his back hurt, and he couldn't breathe well.

"Can we continue?" Lu Qi didn't even have dirty clothes except his breathing and hair.

"My brain thinks... my body can't keep up..." Rhubarb was exhausted, and he couldn't speak fluently, "In this life, in this life, fighting... Phew... I'm not as tired as I am today..."

"It's half the night," Lu Qi corrected, then looked at Hu Lingyu with a bright smile, "The other half of the night is for you."

Hu Lingyu: "..." He actually didn't really want it.

After the sun had set for a long time, the night finally made the air no longer scorching, but it was still hot.

"I'll do it." Hu Lingyu stepped onto the venue resignedly, his eyes gradually narrowed, and he looked directly at Lu Qi, "Let me tell you first, I'm not good at going crazy, so..."

Lu Qi: "I didn't say it made you crazy."

Hu Lingyu paused, confused: "Didn't you say that if you want to defeat the beast, you have to become a beast first?"

"Oh," Lu Qi explained patiently and purely as if he had just understood, "This confrontation tactic is only suitable for people with strong will and strong execution ability to the goal, not for you."

Hu Lingyu: "..."

Don't be angry, don't be angry, there is no one to replace you when you get sick.

"Then may I ask," Hu Lingyu smiled brightly, "What kind of confrontation tactics are suitable for me?"

Lu Qi showed his white teeth: "Take advantage of loopholes, catch loopholes, you can do anything that is not prohibited by the rules, and win by cleverness."

Hu Lingyu: "Is it just opportunistic and crooked?"

Lu Qi: "It can also be summed up in this way."

Hu Lingyu: "Because I'm cunning?"

Lu Qi: "Because you are smart."
