Chapter 1: A Wife from Heaven
History is a spiral, and what was once eliminated may become popular again, just as the walls of the East and the castles of the West, what has been eliminated by history, have become indispensable again after two cataclysms.
Every city must have walls.
This is the redefinition of the city by human beings after the cataclysm, and if there is no protection of high and thick walls, no matter how many people live, it can only be called a gathering area, not a city.
The benefits of living in the city are first of all safety, followed by having not abundant but sufficient food, and sufficient and clean drinking water, there are too many benefits that can be enjoyed as a city person, but the most important thing is indeed these three things.
Gao Qi was lucky to be born, grew up, and lived in the city.
But unfortunately Gao Qi is about to be forced to leave the city, for the simple reason that he cannot become the person that the city needs, and in today's social Darwinism, survival of the fittest is really a normal thing.
Social Darwinism is also called the law of the jungle, and there is nothing wrong with substituting the better survival of the fittest with the law of the jungle, so the four most important of the five tests failed, and this result made Gao Qi himself think that he really did not deserve to be a city man.
So if nothing else, Gao Qi will leave the city tomorrow at the latest, and the reason why he will be able to spend his last night in the city is because he still needs to take the last of the five tests.
The last test was shooting.
Range.
A lieutenant of the city defense army shouted with a straight face on the side: "Next, start the shooting test, remember the shooting essentials I taught you, three points and one line, shoulder to shoulder, okay, the first group enters the target position and starts shooting." ”
It's not too long to have an opening line, because the same thing happens twice a year, and in today's increasingly paranormal world, guns are indeed weapons that are becoming obsolete.
But after all, the supernatural is only a very small number of people, and no one knows what type of cataclysm the next cataclysm will be, so now the vast majority of battles are still the decisive weapon, in view of this, the shooting in the college graduation test has never been canceled.
It's not the time for the cataclysm to begin, and it's unlikely that these students will have to pick up guns to defend the city, so it's strange that there is no live shooting in college, so it's really strange that there is no live shooting class, but there is a live shooting exam when they graduate.
In a group of ten, each person shoots ten bullets, and the shooting test that ends after the fight begins, no one pays attention to it, and the shooting test is full of perfunctory shooting tests that are carried out very quickly, and soon it is the turn of Gao Qi to play.
Gao Qi took a breath, and he stepped forward and lay down in front of the firing position.
The shooting instructors are perfunctory, but most of the students don't want to be perfunctory, because boys basically like guns, and so do Gao Qi.
The student in front of Gao Qi came back with 10 rounds of bullets and 44 rings, and for a person who touched the gun for the first time, it was okay to hit the 50-meter target with this result, which was certainly not good, but it was not bad either.
Gao Qi really wanted to see how many rings he could play.
The gun is a 56 semi-automatic rifle, which can be called an antique old gun, but this is the first time Gao Qi has touched a real gun, so he began to get excited, and Gao Qi's excitement is of course understandable, this is the same as the feeling of going straight to the marriage hall when he meets the lover of his dreams for the first time.
The gun has a soul, although this is an old gun, but an old but never broken 56 semi-automatic is like a young woman with charm, and the temptation is directly full of the first brother of Gao Qi,
The real gun is heavy and textured in the hand, which is not the same as the imaginary feeling, but it seems to be the imaginary feeling.
Gao Qi couldn't help but touch it affectionately along the bolt, the barrel was a little hot, but it was not yet hot, and Gao Qi put his face on the butt, and he could still smell the smell of gunsmoke and oil grabbing.
The smell of gunsmoke made Gao Qi excited, and the smell of grabbing oil made Gao Qi feel intoxicated.
But Gao Qi didn't have time to get closer to the rifle in his hand, and the shooting instructor next to him said loudly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Let go, get up, I haven't let you lie down yet. ”
Gao Qi, who was awakened in a drunken state, looked at the shooting instructor, he let go of his hands, and then he saw a few bullets exposed in the shooting instructor's hands.
Huang Chengcheng's bullet is so beautiful.
The shooting instructor took the rifle over, he pulled the bolt, and showed the bullet in his hand, which was a row of bullets mounted on the bullet bridge, a full row of exactly ten rounds.
The bullet bridge is aimed at the magazine, ten rounds of ammunition are pressed into it, the bullet bridge is withdrawn, the bullet is loaded, and after the reloading is completed, the shooting instructor first puts the gun on the sandbag of the stable rifle, and then presses the rifle with his right hand and says: "Come, hold the rifle tightly, hold it here, don't move your fingers!" The shoulder should be solid, right, the gap is aimed at the crosshair, the front sight is aimed at the target, three points and one line, aiming. ”
Although excited, his hand was still very steady, but after Gao Qi aimed the crosshair at the target, he soon found that the target was blurred, and when he adjusted his gaze to see the target clearly, the crosshair became blurred again.
A red flag began to wave, the preparations for shooting were all ready, and after the target in the automatic target reporting system came to a stop at a distance of fifty meters along the chute, the shooting instructor immediately said: "Start shooting." ”
The gun is fixed to the sandbag, and as long as the raised shoulders do not move and the hand holding the gun does not tremble, then it is not difficult to aim.
At the urging of the instructor, he immediately fired the first shot, and with the sound of the gunshot, his shoulders shook violently, and his ears began to buzz, but other than that, Gao Qi didn't seem to feel anything else.
In this way, he completed the first shot of his life, but the process was too short to give Gao Qi too strong a feeling.
It was impossible to see if the target had been hit, and the target report would not be carried out until everyone had finished shooting, so all Gao Qi had to do was to continue to shoot the second shot.
Feeling the shooting experience just now, Gao Qi wanted to have a good experience of the precious ten bullets, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, he heard a scream.
The shooting test, or test, is just a formality, at least for the last five years, but this time the shooting test seems to have been an accident.
A petite girl seemed to be repulsive to the rifle in her hand, or she was full of fear of the rifle in her hand, or she was hurt in the shoulder by the recoil of the rifle, and after having to shoot, she stood up and threw the rifle in her hand screaming.
Throwing the gun out should have been a minor accident, but this time it was different, because the smaller girl actually threw the gun into the earthen wall used to block the bullets from flying out of the range.
A girl threw a rifle weighing nearly four kilograms four hundred meters away, and it was obvious that the rifle could have flown farther if it had not been blocked by the earthen wall.
When throwing the gun out, the girl let out a sharp and short scream, which made Gao Qi startled, and his hand trembled, but fortunately, he stopped the finger pulling the trigger in time, and after calming down a little, he gently pulled the trigger and fired a second bullet.
In the midst of an uproar of exclamation, the shooting instructor beside Gao Qi couldn't help but say loudly: "What's the matter? Awakened? Someone's ability has awakened! ”
Gao Qi fired a third shot, and at this time, he heard the teacher's yelling.
"Liu Han, don't move! If you stand still, what is two plus seven? What is your name? How old are you this year? Do you have a boyfriend......"
Someone is awakening the ability, this is really dangerous, so the scene is understandably chaotic, but no one asked Gao Qi to stop shooting, so Gao Qi continued to shoot one shot at a time.
Fourth, fifth, sixth.
"Get out of the way!"
The lieutenant of the city defense pointed his pistol at the schoolgirl's head, and then he yelled: "Report your name, age, class!" Call someone from the crisis control department to come over immediately and answer my question, quick! ”
If there is still reason after awakening, it is an alien, but if you lose your mind when you wake up, you will become a mutant who only acts on instinct, and mutants are generally dangerous, because mutants are humanoid monsters at all, and they may also be extremely dangerous humanoid monsters.
"I ...... My name is Liu Han, I am twenty-one years old, I am in the psychology class of the Department of Philosophy, I am not crazy, what are you doing......"
The schoolgirl was already crying when she answered, she was flustered, but in the panic, she finally realized what had happened to her?
"Am I awakened? Am I a Stranger? I am a Stranger! That's great! ”
Everything was heard clearly, chaotically, and noisyly, and in the student's self-talk, which was frightened at first, but soon turned into extreme surprise, Gao Qi fired the remaining four shots.
After the tenth shot, Gao Qi exhaled softly, he couldn't see the target clearly, but he couldn't help but look up at the target for a while, and then turned his head to look at the female classmate who was only four or five meters away from him.
Liu Han, she actually awakened her ability during the shooting exam, which is really ...... Envy.
At this moment, someone finally shouted: "Stop shooting, why are you still shooting, get up and get out of here, everyone back away." ”
Gao Qi let go of the rifle, he stood up, and then looked at Liu Han with envious eyes.
"Excellent! You are not crazy, normal ability awakening, classmate Liu Han, congratulations. ”
The lieutenant of the city guard put the pistol into the holster, and he was very politely congratulating Liu Han, after confirming that a person's ability had awakened and remained normal, his status was not comparable to that of a lieutenant of the city defense army, so he immediately became very polite.
Liu Han cried with joy, she looked around, and then she rushed towards her teacher with her arms outstretched.
"Teacher Wang, I'm a stranger, I'm a stranger......"
Everything was going in a normal and happy direction, but at that moment, Gao Qi, who felt good about himself, felt dizzy.
Accompanied by a not-so-strong feeling of vertigo, a strange sense of familiarity immediately arises, as if Gao Qi had experienced something once before and is now happening.
Many people have had this feeling, of course, they have had this strange sense of familiarity before, but they have never been so strong as today, really repeating scenes that have happened before, and even knowing what is going to happen next, but really thinking about what is going to happen next, but not thinking of anything.
At this moment, an alarm in the corner of the shooting range suddenly began to go off wildly.
Everyone froze as a severe, shrill whine rang out rhythmically, and then, the lieutenant, who had just inserted his pistol into his holster, looked dumbfounded at the location of the siren.
The sirens at the shooting range went off first, and soon the sirens from other nearby places followed, and the whining sirens came and went, and now it was not one siren that was ringing, but the sirens of the whole city that began to go off.
The extreme shock and even fear made everyone stand still, and no one could even make a sound.
The only reason for the sirens to start sounding was the highest alert, and the only reason for the highest alert was the arrival of the Third Cataclysm.
After a dozen seconds of silence, the lieutenant finally reacted, drew his pistol again, and shouted tremblingly, "Find cover nearby, let's ...... We! ”
Trying to swallow a mouthful of saliva, the lieutenant raised the pistol, and then he said with a blank face: "Prepare to meet the enemy." ”
"Captain, where is the enemy......"
The lieutenant looked at his equally unrelenting subordinates and roared, "It's possible anywhere! Escort the students back to their dormitories first! ”
The students were in a bit of a commotion, but Gao Qi couldn't move, because he was not only dizzy now, but also felt very bad, and it was strange that nothing had happened, but there was sadness and reluctance for no reason, and the feeling was so strong that he couldn't help but cry.
Gao Qi stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and he found that the corners of his eyes were really moist, but by this time the strange familiarity was over, and his head was only slightly dizzy.
The sirens stopped abruptly, and the whole world instantly returned to silence.
It's just that the terrible sirens stopped, but for a while, it made people feel like they were in the aftermath, because the sirens shouldn't stop, especially not in such a short time.
"It's a false alarm, right?"
"It must be a false positive!"
When the sirens stopped, someone finally came back to their senses and said something, and after a chaotic discussion, it soon became clear that it was just a false alarm.
But at this moment, the black trams came at a silent gallop, and the special operations team of the Crisis Control Department wearing black full-coverage combat armor got off the car and quickly surrounded the people present.
A tram rushed to Liu Han and stopped, and a middle-aged man in a black trench coat got out of the car and yelled in an angry voice: "What's going on here!" What's happening here! ”
The lieutenant of the city defense army saluted, and then he said tremblingly: "Report to the chief, there is a student here whose ability has awakened, and I have already notified the crisis control department with the walkie-talkie, and the others ...... Nothing happened. ”
"Fart! The intensity of the energy fluctuations has exploded, but it's just an ability to awaken how can the energy fluctuations be so big! ”
The big man in the crisis control department didn't finish speaking, he quickly realized that he was talking too much, so he immediately pointed at the lieutenant and yelled: "Tell me what is going on here, don't let go of any details, say!" ”
The lieutenant looked around as if asking for help, looked at his subordinates, and then he said with a blank expression: "Sir, everything is normal, except for her sudden awakening of ability when shooting, something else, something else...... Oh, he hit a hundred rings with ten shots! ”
Gao Qi, who was pointed at by the lieutenant, was stunned, so he also pointed to his nose, and then he said in great surprise: "I hit a hundred rings?" ”
