wake of the wild

At 03:30 in the afternoon, by the riverside of the Fourth Great Wall.

The sky that had been exposed to the sun for half a day suddenly became gloomy two hours ago, with strong winds and heavy dark clouds rolling in from the sky at an extremely fast speed, like a black city pressing down, swallowing all the light.

The 170 nine students who took the test have arrived at the shore, waiting for the teacher of the test team to make final preparations.

"What the hell is this weather..." In the morning, it was hot and suffocating in the scorching sun, and in the afternoon, it was swaying in the strong wind. Many students complained about the two-level experience.

The fourth largest book is located in a remote place, and the area where the river is located is even more desolate. Usually, few people come here, and the shrubs and weeds are overgrown on the bank. At this moment, under the gloomy and oppressive sky, the wind sounds like ghosts crying, and the water waves howl like wolves. , the sense of atmosphere is full.

"Is it too late for me to quit now?" Some students keenly sensed the uncertainty of the road ahead.

Some students also started from practical considerations: "Are you sure it is this section of the river? The current is a bit fast..."

The swimming test is not divided into groups. Everyone enters the water at the same starting point, swims through the specified river section, and completes the test when they land at the marked position. In the end, the top [-] will be awarded. The scoring method is the same as that of jumping.

"It won't rain for a while, right?" He Qiuyan looked up at the sky, a little worried.Although the red-crowned crane likes to walk in the shallows, it is not a real water bird. Swimming is actually her weakness.

"No," Huang Chong focused on helping her relieve the pressure, "The weather forecast says that the weather will turn from sunny to cloudy, and there will be no rain."

He Qiuyan was dubious: "Really?"

It's not true, because in the last life Hu Lingyu accompanied Da Huang to complete the exam in the rainstorm. Da Huang swam in the water and he walked along the shore.

"Not only can you play, but you can also play very hard," Hu Lingyu didn't want to demolish Rhubarb, but now the situation is special, "It's best to be mentally prepared."

The determined tone caused Lu Qi to raise his eyebrows slightly.

Hu Lingyu was going to say something, but when he caught sight of Lu Qi's expression, he suddenly paused, and the following words quickly changed to: "Anyway, I think so, it's safer to think of the worst in everything."

Lu Qi didn't make a sound.

Hu Lingyu didn't know if there was a flaw in what he was looking for.

The other two were unaware.

He Qiuyan looked at the sky worriedly, and the wind blown out a few strands of her hair, which was meticulously tied up for the convenience of swimming.

Huang Chong explained sincerely: "It's okay, even if you don't do well in this exam, there are three more."

The red-crowned crane glared at the garden dog, but was not comforted at all.

"Students taking the exam, please take their seats, and other students retreat outside the line—" The examination team pulled up isolation lines on both sides of the bank, and everything was ready.

Compared with the morning, the number of students who specially followed the riverside to watch was greatly reduced. Most of them were relatives and friends of the test takers, and not many people just came to watch the excitement.Everyone retreated to the outside of the test line on both sides of the bank, stepped on the bushes and fell into the encirclement of lush vegetation. In order to see the scene of the water entry point, one by one stretched their necks, like a group of meerkats waiting eagerly.

170 nine test students came to the entry point.

Although everyone has the same starting point, it is impossible for more than 170 people to be completely stuck in the exact position, so the water entry point is divided into four areas, two on the left bank and two on the right bank, opposite each other.

Everyone was divided according to the test number. Hu Lingyu and Da Huang were assigned to Area 1, while Lu Qi and He Qiuyan were assigned to Areas 2 and 4.

Area 1 is basically the students of the first five classes, mainly large dogs, big cats and bears.As soon as the teacher of the examination team announced that they were in place, many people rushed over. When Hu Lingyu and Da Huang entered the area, the good position near the shore was already crowded, and the latecomers were still rushing forward. Rubbing shoulders and rubbing heels, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The river section for swimming is not too short, which can be compared with "long-distance running". pushed to the back.

Squeezing and squeezing, the two separated.

The teacher of the examination team began to announce the discipline: "Go into the water after hearing the firing of the starting gun. During the examination, it is forbidden to attack each other, animalization is prohibited, and the results of those who violate the rules will be invalidated—"

Hu Lingyu was listening carefully, when a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and pulled him away forcefully, the action was very brutal.

Caught off guard, the red fox was almost toppled over, and staggered a few steps to stand firm. The original position has been replaced by a newcomer.

Even if ordinary students compete with each other, they will not go too far, this is clearly intentional.

Hu Lingyu leaned on his shoulders and frowned to see.

Sure enough, it was an acquaintance - the bear family who took the lead in blocking Luqi before.

After successfully occupying the seat, Xiong Kenan smiled provocatively on purpose: "You won't pass the exam anyway, so you might as well make room for me."

His burly figure obscured the already dark sky above Hu Lingyu's head even more dizzily.

This is still remembering hatred.

Hu Lingyu suddenly lost his temper, because he recalled his ingenuity and wisdom when he rescued Lu Qi at that time, it was a combination of handsomeness and wisdom: "Let, I will give it to you," the little fox is not only easy-going, but also kind-hearted. Blessings, "Come on later."

Xiong Kenan: "..."

"The river course of the exam is complicated and the water flow is turbulent. There may be accidents at any time." After the exam teacher finished the discipline, he added a reminder, "Please pay attention to safety, life comes first, grades come second..."

"If you know the danger, you can't choose a river section with calm waters?" Some students secretly complained.

Hu Lingyu also thought the same way back then, but later realized that the test of the investigation department is the ability to ford in the wild, and it is better to go directly to the swimming pool if the weather is calm.However, the year of Dahuang's exam was indeed the most "hell" ever, with high winds, strong waves and violent storms, he was almost drowned while watching on the shore.

Now that hell has reappeared, he is finally not on the shore, ready to go into the water.

Hu Lingyu patted the staff member's soul in his heart, Xiao Hu, you are very brave and awesome.

"Prepare--"

The firing teacher raised his gun.

"boom--"

At the same time as the gunshots, a sudden torrential rain poured down.

Hu Lingyu was wet from head to toe in an instant, his eyes were beaten so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, he wiped the rainwater from his face with difficulty, and moved forward little by little.

The students in the front row all jumped into the water, and finally it was Hu Lingyu's turn. Without any hesitation, he plunged into the river immediately.

After training in the wave pool, he has completely overcome the psychological barrier to the standard water entry action of zha Mengzi, but compared to underwater, he still prefers to swim with his head exposed all the time—such as dog planing.

So as soon as he entered the water, he immediately kicked his legs down to let his body float up.

Soon, his head came out of the water, and in the blurred vision of the water vapor, there were thrashing classmates in front, back, left, and right, and it was impossible to see who was who.

The downpour of rain slanted down in a gust of wind, drowning out all other sounds.

Hu Lingyu struggled to swim with all four limbs, tried to control the direction in the turbulent waves, and looked for a path with few people and could shuttle, so as to minimize the resistance of his own progress.

However, as soon as I found the gap, I swam a few meters forward, and a wave surged up, pushing the surrounding students together again.

Hu Lingyu wanted to rush out of the crowd, but the one next to him moved faster than him. He swiped his arm vigorously and hit Hu Lingyu's chest. In the chaos, the classmate didn't pay attention. Anyway, he swam out, and Hu Lingyu was directly thrown into the water.

The moment his body sank, Hu Lingyu quickly held his breath, trying his best not to panic or mess up.

"The first thing to do after entering the water is to break through," Lu Qi told the same words every day by the wave pool, "If you can't get out, you have no chance to score, and you don't have to think about how to deal with sudden changes in water flow and dark stones later. gone."

Hu Lingyu listened obediently for the first few days, but then couldn't help it anymore, and asked: "What if you just can't get out? Everyone is crowded together, and the water flow changes rapidly. It's not like running can surpass others."

Lu Qi: "Why not? There are inner ways and outer ways in running, and there are also water and underwater ways in swimming."

Hu Lingyu: "Under water?"

Lu Qi: "If the water doesn't work, you can hold your breath and dive underwater."

Hu Lingyu: "..."

Lu Qi: "Swim through the first part, as long as you break through, you can go back and forth as much as you want."

Hu Lingyu: "I don't like underwater."

Lu Qi: "Then do you want to win?"

Sometimes Hu Lingyu has to doubt that Lu Qi can read people's hearts.He doesn't ask if you want to enter the investigative department, he asks if you want to win.

Win over those guys who laugh at you, look down on you, and claim to be strong.

Of course I do.

Hu Lingyu relaxed and let his body continue to sink in the water until it was close to the bottom of the river, away from all the students who were swimming on the surface.

The underwater vision is clearer than that of the torrential water. The aquatic plants drift with the river, large and small stones are scattered, and there are unknown small fish.

Hu Lingyu is not the only one who dives. Good water families, such as crocodiles, water snakes, and hippopotamuses, have long mastered the tricks and opened up new tracks underwater.

Although there will be differences between families and families in every sport, in swimming, the talents of families and families are displayed to the extreme.They don’t use marine families—this kind of family is too rare. Take the fourth university as an example. At present, there is no student in the whole school who has a marine family. There are only two teachers in the school. One is a dolphin who works in the library. A dolphin family that teaches veterinary medicine—just a family like crocodiles, water snakes, and hippopotamuses that are accustomed to aquatic environments, its swimming function is enough to form a dimensionality reduction blow to ordinary terrestrial families.

A streamlined figure swam swiftly past Hu Lingyu constantly. He wanted to chase him, but he could only look at the shadow and sigh.

The red fox quickly adjusted his mentality, focused on himself instead of looking at others, and swam forward in one go.

After swimming for tens of seconds, the oxygen was exhausted, and Hu Lingyu had to float up.

With a "crash", the head was pushed out of the water, and the noise of the world rushed in.The sound of water, wind, rain, shouts, birdsong, beasts roaring.

The "examination room" has become a mess.

The bald eagle with half its wings drooping is circling crookedly in the air, the neighing steed is trying to get out of the river with the help of the teacher, the otter that has given up treatment is drifting backwards and drifting with the current, and the wet kangaroo is punched to stimulate other beasts Globalized competitors then swim back.

It was the same in my previous life.

The more dangerous the environment, the more intense the competition, the easier it is to stimulate the awakening of beasts.

Hu Lingyu had no time to delay, took a deep breath, and was about to continue diving, when a white shadow suddenly flashed in his peripheral vision.Vaguely, he seemed to hear Da Huang's voice in the rainstorm: "He Qiuyan..."

A red-crowned crane with soaked feathers struggled to fly through the heavy rain, barely stopping under the temporary rest shed built by the examination team, flapping its wings, revealing her unwillingness.

It was too bad for birds to swim. Lu Qi mentioned this problem on the way to the river, and advised He Qiuyan to save some energy and give up.

Of course He Qiuyan didn't listen.

What Hu Lingyu was thinking at this time was not who was right or wrong between the deer and the crane, but rhubarb.

In such a harsh exam environment, how much do you like to notice that He Qiuyan has turned into a beast for the first time?Then he likes a girl so much, and Rhubarb is the kind of person who has all his thoughts written on his face. Why did he live in the same dormitory with him for four years in his previous life, but he never found that Rhubarb showed any signs of affection?

Taking a step back, even if the two of them didn't know each other in the investigative exam in the previous life, if they entered the investigative class together later, with the way Da Huang fell in love with He Qiuyan at first sight in the morning, they got along day and night in the class, even if they were unrequited love, they should have fallen in love.Whenever he falls in love, he must be able to see the change in Da Huang's state.

Unless, the two had no chance to know each other from the beginning to the end - He Qiuyan was not admitted to the investigative class at all.
