Chapter 11: The Age of the Great Tribulation
Suddenly, a thick ink color made Raymond's eyes light up.
"The Age of the Great Tribulation!"
There is no prominence without contrast!
Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people in this world, history is just like that, but Raymond has the comparison of the memories of his previous life, and it is naturally easy to find some fog that ordinary people ignore from the historical focus of this world.
In history, the focus represents a turning point, and the fog represents some secret that those in power have deliberately hidden!
"At the peak of the prosperity of ancient feudalism, a sudden catastrophe befell the whole planet, first frequent earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, abnormal climate, disasters, epidemics, and then gradually developed into large turbulences, drifts, and even violent collisions of continental plates!"
"People panicked like never before, thinking the end was coming!"
"The sudden death of ancient crops and vegetation without warning was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the rapid and complete collapse of the ancient feudal system and the loss of the last hope of organized resistance of mankind. ”
"The entire human civilization has regressed to the barbaric era in just a few years, and the vast majority of people have fled with animals and animals like headless flies, killing each other for a little food, and the remnant desperately searching for the only remaining vegetation, struggling to survive like the ape-man ancestors of primitive times, and are on the verge of extinction......"
"Until the disaster subsides, the turning point appears!"
"All the surviving animals and plants, including those who have survived the epidemic and starvation, have undergone strange mutations and come back to life!"
"The general enhancement of various physiological functions of human beings, the diversity of skin color, pupil color, and hair color are relatively small, and some animals and plants have derived several or dozens of branches to adapt to different harsh environments like a big bang, and some have even completed incredible cross-racial mating and reproduction!"
"For this reason, biologists refer to the 'Age of Cataclysm' as the 'Age of Cataclysm' or 'the Age of Great Change';
Geographers also call the "era of cataclysm" the "era of continental collision" because the five continental plates of the whole planet have become three continental plates after a series of drifts, splits, collisions, and recombinations, that is, today's eastern continent, western continent, and southern continent;
Historians have exchanged some large inhabited islands in the process of plate drift between the eastern and western continents, and after the plate reorganization is completed, a large number of archipelagos have been added to the sea area between the eastern and western continents to serve as a nautical springboard, so that the two major civilizations of the east and west, which were originally closed off to each other, began to contact, exchange, war, and confrontation hundreds of years in advance, and also regarded the "era of catastrophe" as "the beginning of the synchronization of human civilization" and "the catalyst of world war". ”
......
"When the era of catastrophe that lasted for nearly a hundred years ended, people found that the world had long since become unrecognizable, and many documents and common sense inherited from the ancient feudal era were no longer sufficient, such as medical books, calendars, solar terms, industrial and agricultural skills, and so on. ”
"However, drawing on the ideas and re-collecting and summarizing the natural laws and species habits of mutation and rebirth can still roughly preserve the integrity of the fire of human civilization!"
In the process, some of the forerunners slowly gathered a large number of their kind, discovered new crops, resumed farming, rebuilt cities, cleared wild beasts, opened up commerce, and gradually formed a new social system. ”
"Two or three hundred years have passed, and human civilization has reoccupied the land and opened a new era of modern feudalism!"
Raymond automatically ignored the lengthy chapters of many heroes competing for hegemony and emperors and generals in the rise of the modern feudal system, and a word kept echoing in his mind - mutation!
Human variation, species variation, interracial mating of plants and animals?
"So, is it possible that human beings have evolved various superpowers through mutation, or that human beings have crossed races with certain animals and plants to obtain the physiological forms or abilities of those animals and plants?"
Raymond's scalp tingled, and when he thought of the pair of men and women with spiritual abilities and transformed into snow leopards he met yesterday, he knew that this speculation was probably the truth, and it was also the historical truth that the authorities were trying to hide!
In addition, human beings may not need to mate and reproduce with certain animals and plants across races, but during the period of physiological mutation, as long as human beings are bitten, stabbed by certain animals and plants, or inadvertently eat the flesh and fruit of certain animals and plants, they are likely to be affected by these animals and plants and mutate more bizarre abilities. ”
"For example, if you are bitten by a snow leopard, you will gain the ability to transform into a snow leopard, and if you eat a certain hallucinogenic plant, you will gain the ability to illusion...... It's similar to the werewolf and vampire legends of the previous life!"
"So, what is it that has caused the entire planet to change dramatically, from the environment to the species?"
Raymond frowned and pondered, unable to do so for a long time.
"Perhaps, only by getting into the core of the supernatural circle can this secret be fully revealed...... But isn't this going back to square one, and I can't even find the entrance to the supernatural circle!"
"Sure enough, it doesn't work behind closed doors......"
Raymond rubbed his eyebrows, gave up his illusions, and settled down to check his interpersonal relationships one by one.
......
on campus.
A tall young female teacher in an orange dress walks side by side with an old man with gray hair.
"Xiaoqing, since Professor Lei hasn't contacted you for the past two days, it means that he won't pursue you for beating his son, don't worry!"
The female teacher's wheat-colored skin is healthy and full, her eyes are bright, and her eyebrows are full of heroism, which is fundamentally different from that of ordinary history teachers.
Hearing this, he was unconvinced and said: "Principal, even if he investigates, what can a weak professor do to me? It's a big deal to let him fight back......"
The old man glanced left and right, saw that there was no one nearby, and leaned closer and whispered, "Professor Lei is not an ordinary professor...... Xiaoqing, you are from there, you should know that there are a lot of secret studies in the state and city governments, and some of them Professor Lei is more or less involved, and he can talk to the above!"
Yu Guqing was silent.
Since she made a big mistake on impulse in the last mission, she was exiled to work as a teacher at the school by the person who regarded her father as her, but after two or three months, she has deeply realized the complexity and danger of ordinary people's lives.
Unlike the hard, tense but sincere and pure atmosphere there, the career of ordinary people does not have powerful or strange forces, but there are ubiquitous and intertwined personnel struggles, which are even more physically and mentally exhausting.
She had come to understand the power and the power of favor, and she had somewhat understood the painstaking effort of the man to exile her.
The old principal next to him used to be his predecessor, but now he has been completely eroded and transformed by power, and it is hard to imagine that he will one day become this kind of timid and dog-like appearance, it is better to die.
I definitely want to go back!
As soon as he thought of this, Yu Guqing said abruptly: "Don't worry, as long as I am still in school for one day, I will do my duty as a teacher, and there will be no more beatings of students in the future." ”
"It's best to ...... this" The old headmaster secretly breathed a sigh of relief and narrowed his eyes, "But ah, Xiaoqing, you don't have to worry about being bullied by those noble students, thousands of teachers and staff in our No. 1 Middle School are your strong backing!"
To be sure, Professor Lei's family's cold reaction to Raymond's beating was much more than he expected.
Originally, he thought that Professor Lei's father and daughter would come to the door to "seek justice" for his son (younger brother), or put pressure on the school through his connections, so he could take the opportunity to teach Yu Guqing a lesson and let her look at no one restrain her temperament.
After all, although the Lei family is not rich or expensive, they are well-connected in the state university and academic circles next door, and have the reputation of "one subject and three scholars, father and daughter two experts", and it is also appropriate to be domineering.
Who knew that the Lei family turned a deaf ear to Raymond's concussion by the teacher, and didn't even make a phone call, so tired that his plan fell through, so he could only beat Yu Guqing dryly.
Fortunately, Yu Guqing's temperament has changed somewhat compared to when he first arrived, and he can't stand the stage.
......
With a heavy heart, Yu Guqing came to the nineteenth class of the third year of high school with a cold face, and he didn't even bother to say anything about the scene of telling the students to keep to themselves during the summer vacation, and directly asked the class leader Liang Aonan to arrange for the final exam transcript, the summer make-up class registration form, the next semester learning materials pre-purchase form, the interest club summer registration form and a large number of forms such as the final exam transcript, the summer make-up class registration form, the next semester learning materials pre-purchase form, and the summer registration form for interest clubs.
deliberately didn't even look at the "gossip object" Raymond, out of sight.
When the students saw this, they were all silent when they were taken by her fierce and feminine power in the past.
Raymond naturally didn't have much to do, only quietly glanced at Yu Guqing, and didn't find that she was more beautiful than she remembered, nor did he find that she had any strange temperament of a master or ability, and then turned his attention to his report card.
As expected, the scores in each subject are mostly below A- and above C- hovering.
Not to mention that it is not comparable to the style of my parents and sisters who have all A's and occasionally S, and who apply for skipping grades from time to time, even among the more than 40 people in the class, they are only barely considered to be in the upper middle.
However, what is strange about Raymond is that for so many years, his parents have never made any mandatory requirements for him in this regard, most of the time they touch their heads and say the same thing: "Just do your best." ”
This made Raymond secretly wonder if he was born to his parents!
The thought flashed, and Raymond looked at the summer registration form of the interest club again, this thing will be sent out every winter and summer vacation, and his former self, like most of his classmates, basically didn't care much.
As the No. 1 high school affiliated with the state university, the campus is actually separated from the state university, so these secondary school clubs have been the first and most recent branch of the university club since the day they were founded, and they participate in activities together with the university clubs.
Therefore, most middle school students will choose to join the club after going to a state university and having more spare time, anyway, it is the same if they join early or late.
However, now Raymond naturally has other plans, especially after a short exchange with the old man in martial arts clothes in the library of the Flame Tiger Research Center yesterday, he originally intended to go to the martial arts club to test the water first.
At this time, I took a closer look at the registration form and couldn't help but be stunned.
There are a lot of fighting clubs!
Martial arts club, boxing club, sanda club, fighting club, wrestling club, gladiatorial club, kakushou club, kickboxing club......
"Well, I really can't tell the difference between these clubs from the name alone, do school clubs also pay attention to sectarianism?
Raymond's dimples rippled with a wry smile, and he looked at the deadline at the bottom right of the registration form, fortunately, three days was enough time for his own field trip.
In fact, he would prefer to go directly to university, which has more free time and more arbitrariness, but unfortunately the academic year here is in the spring, rather than the fall in his previous life.
