MTL - Survivor 01 [Unlimited]-Chapter 73 Lu Zhancheng-[21]
Zhou Zhengning scratched his head in embarrassment.
He lowered his eyes, not daring to continue looking at Ye Fei on the podium. After a while, he heard Ye Fei ask again:
"Well, let me ask you a question. My little friend, do you know how to judge the ductility of the type of ability?"
Ye Fei spoke lightly, as if coaxing a child:
"Don't be nervous, just talk about it."
This made it difficult for Zhou Zhengning.
His grades are not very good, and he has never thought of working in the Sixth Department of the White Tower. He is just an ordinary person living in the Garden of Eden. Any supernatural powers and those things are far away from him. He is not interested and has never cared about it.
In addition, he didn't attend the class at all just now, so he was suddenly asked such a question at this time, of course he couldn't answer it.
Although Ye Fei told him that it's okay to talk casually, but rather than talking nonsense, Zhou Zhengning still chose to admit his mistakes obediently:
"Sorry, teacher, I don't know."
In the classroom, some students were snickering and looked at him frequently.
Standing in the classroom, Zhou Zhengning listened to the gloating whispers of the surrounding students, all of them lost their drowsiness, and their ears and cheeks were burning.
Another joke.
I don't know if the teacher will be unhappy.
Zhou Zhengning thought like this until he heard Ye Fei's voice:
"Don't laugh."
Ye Fei knocked on the podium with her fingers, her tone was a little more serious than before, but she wasn't targeting Zhou Zhengning:
"When you're tired from studying, it's normal to doze off in class. It's not funny if you can't answer the questions. Everyone is not omnipotent. If everyone is an encyclopedia, what do teachers need?"
Ye Fei spoke very softly, but with an unquestionable meaning.
Then, he smiled at Zhou Zhengning with curved lips:
"Okay, you sit down."
Zhou Zhengning was taken aback for a moment, and quickly sat back on his seat.
He pulled up the stool and looked up at the people on the podium.
The young teacher wrote the word "extensibility" on the data screen with a pen.
His handwriting is beautiful, clean and straight, just like himself.
In the second half of that class, Zhou Zhengning sat up straight and listened very carefully.
Time passed quickly, and when the get out of class bell rang, the class also came to an end. Ye Fei said goodbye to them briefly and left the classroom.
During get out of class time, other students in the classroom should play and sleep instead, only Zhou Zhengning kept his head on the spot where Ye Fei stood in a daze.
Until his deskmate Lu Yaoyao gave him an arm and said with a smile:
"Little follower, that's the teacher of the White Tower Central College. He is very famous. You dare to sleep. Why are you so stupid. But he has a good temper, and he didn't scold you."
Zhou Zhengning nodded, automatically ignoring the first half of her sentence:
"Yes, Teacher Ye is really kind."
"?"
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao took a closer look at him.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Zhou Zhengning's expression:
"No, little follower, why do I feel that you seem to be a little absent-minded?"
"Um?"
Zhou Zhengning was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, he did feel a little out of shape today, and he didn't know why. In short, there was just a moment when he felt that everything around him seemed unreal. If he had to say it, he felt that he shouldn't be here.
But this is obviously a school he is familiar with, and he is surrounded by familiar classmates. If he is not here, where should he be?
Zhou Zhengning couldn't figure it out, so he gave up and continued to worry about it.
The junior high school classes were boring. After the afternoon class, Zhou Zhengning packed his schoolbag and walked home with Lu Yaoyao.
The two of them are neighbors, they grew up together, and they have been in the same class since kindergarten, and they have known each other for many, many years.
"Little follower, have you finished the puzzle I asked you to help me last time?"
Coming out of the teaching building, Lu Yaoyao walked half a step in front of Zhou Zhengning, always speaking with a bit of condescending tone.
But Zhou Zhengning didn't care, he nodded:
"Come on, I'll bring it to you tonight."
"Okay, hurry up. By the way, aren't your parents coming home today? Come to my house for dinner?"
"Um."
"Then we both wrote today's homework together. You write math and I write English, and we learn from each other."
"good."
Zhou Zhengning answered a little absent-mindedly.
He looked down at the masonry ground under his feet. After a while, he suddenly heard cheers and cheers from the direction of the sports field not far away. It was very lively.
He glanced over there, and saw that there seemed to be a competition on the school's outdoor basketball court, and there were many girls cheering on the side of the court.
"What are you looking at?"
Lu Yaoyao glanced along his line of sight.
Zhou Zhengning looked at a girl with a ponytail jumping and dunking on the court from a distance, unable to look away for a while:
"On the basketball court...?"
"Oh, today is the middle school women's basketball final. It's rare for our school to enter the final. The opponent is the Baita High School. A few days ago, the school team even recruited strong men as volunteers. You were scolded by me when you wanted to go, but it turned out so quickly. forget?"
Zhou Zhengning shook his head and nodded again.
When they were talking, they happened to walk to the edge of the basketball court. When passing by, Zhou Zhengning glanced in through the fence, and happened to see the girl who dunked just now.
The girl had bright eyebrows and eyes, with a sports headband on her forehead, a high ponytail, tall and long legs.
She patted the basketball, and her name was printed on the back of the jersey:
Baita High School
Qin Jing
Seeing that name, Zhou Zhengning was dazed for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, he had already walked to the school gate with Lu Yaoyao.
Zhou Zhengning stood by the street, paused, and looked up at the sky.
But in fact, looking up from the inside of the Garden of Eden, it is impossible to see the sky directly.
What he saw was a translucent protective cover with faint blue light flowing.
Zhou Zhengning has never been outside the Garden of Eden. He only heard from his elders that there was a long and large-scale war between ordinary people and supernatural beings before he was born. After that, the outside became a **** on earth, with natural disasters raging, dry air, no vegetation, and only ubiquitous pollution and radiation.
The adults said that the real sky is black and gray, but the protective cover outside the Garden of Eden has adjusted the color so that people can always see a piece of blue when they look up at the sky.
Zhou Zhengning looked blankly at the end of the street again.
The Garden of Eden is divided into four parts.
From his perspective, he could see a white tower-shaped building in the distance, that is, the White Tower, the political and military center of the Garden of Eden, and the location of the Sixth Department of the White Tower.
The circle outside the White Tower is the central urban area of the Garden of Eden, which is usually called the rich area by people. The people who live there are either rich or expensive, and money and power are always the same. The famous Baita High School and Baita Central College are located there.
The largest part in the outer circle is where Zhou Zhengning is located. This is the outskirts of the urban area, the residents are busy, children go to school, adults work, it looks similar to an ordinary city.
As for the outermost periphery, it is called the fringe area.
There is the edge of Eden, mostly residential. In fact, there were only three areas in the Garden of Eden before, and the fringe area was only drawn out a few years ago, because it took up the area of the outer urban area, and quite a few people expressed dissatisfaction with it at that time.
Zhou Zhengning didn't care about these things, he only knew that people living in the fringe area were all supernatural beings. These people were not qualified to live in the Garden of Eden before. They lived in the hive, that is, the world outside the protective cover. Only later, a well-known official in the White Tower felt that human beings should enjoy equal rights and should not be classified into high and low. He tried his best to fight for the rights of the supernatural beings, and finally he overcame all opinions and brought those supernatural beings into the Garden of Eden.
In the Garden of Eden, they can live normally, and they can also enter the outer city to work, but they must wear supernatural power monitoring bracelets, and they can only live in houses in the fringe area.
Zhou Zhengning always felt that this kind of regulation was too harsh, and people with supernatural abilities were also human beings, so why should they be monitored and treated unfairly. But he later realized that even the seemingly unfair present was the treatment that the leaders fought for them with great risks and pressures.
"Little follower, what are you watching? Why are you acting so weird today?"
When Zhou Zhengning was lost in thought, Lu Yaoyao came over and patted him on the back.
"nothing…"
Zhou Zhengning shook his head, took another look at the White Tower, and then walked towards home with Lu Yaoyao.
On the way, Lu Yaoyao beside him was talking excitedly, but he didn't pay attention. Looking around absently, he happened to see a group of armed guards passing across the road.
Every street in the Garden of Eden is guarded by order guards, and there are small teams patrolling from time to time. Those people wore white uniforms with various armors and guns to ensure the safety of the people in the Garden of Eden.
This is a very common thing, but Zhou Zhengning didn't look at them, he just noticed by chance that there were two children following behind the tall guards.
One of them was a boy, who looked about ten years old, and he held a five or six-year-old girl by his hand.
The girl's hair was very long, with two braids hanging down her shoulders. She was wearing a floral suspender dress, holding her brother in one hand and hugging a little cat in the other.
But for some reason, the next second, the little cat in the girl's hand suddenly twisted and escaped from her embrace.
The cat rolled on the ground and ran away. The girl screamed and subconsciously wanted to chase it. But her action alarmed the guards in front, and the guards looked back at her. That look should be a bit fierce, because the girl was so frightened by him that she trembled. She was going to chase the kitten, but now she didn't dare. She just retracted her hand and quietly shrank behind her brother.
As for the little tabby cat, it crossed the traffic-traffic road and slipped across the road.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but when it came over, it happened to be squatting at Zhou Zhengning's feet, just sitting quietly like that and licking its own paw.
Zhou Zhengning was stunned for a moment, then bent down and picked it up. The little cat didn't struggle, and even rubbed against him affectionately, obediently lying in his arms.
His actions scared Lu Yaoyao beside him.
Lu Yaoyao stared wide-eyed, looked at the guards on the other side of the road heading towards the edge area, and then at Zhou Zhengning, his face changed drastically:
"Hey, little follower, are you crazy? Do you know who the guards are leading? Our area just conducted a screening for supernatural beings yesterday, and most of those two children are supernatural beings infected with α, and they will be taken away From the fringe area. You put this cat down quickly, who knows if the pets of the supernatural beings will carry the virus, it will be dirty to death."
Zhou Zhengning didn't think so.
He stroked the head of the kitten in his arms, and only said:
"The stray animals in Eden were caught and killed."
Lu Yaoyao didn't feel anything, she put her hands on her hips:
"It's just a cat, not your cat. Whether it is dangerous or not has nothing to do with you? If you are infected with α and become a supernatural being, you are the one who is in danger! Don't look for me when the time comes cry."
Zhou Zhengning was not intimidated by her.
He shrugged:
"Although it is not my cat, there are people who care about it. If the girl just knew that the kitten has a new home, she should be happy too."
"you really…"
Lu Yaoyao rolled her eyes:
"Stupid!"
