Chapter 199: Jingzhe

The Jingzhe solar term is often mentioned, but also often ignored.

For most people in Yangcheng, they only find out when they look at the weather forecast or the calendar - hey? The day with thunderstorms is Jingzhe!

There are no more.

It is not very noticeable among the 24 solar terms.

Before Jingzhe, Yangcheng only had some light rain, and the sun didn't come out much near Jingzhe.

The ungrounded tornado the day before Jingzhe brought a lot of topics, and it was still mentioned frequently until the next day of Jingzhe.

The gloomy sky did not bring thunderstorms immediately.

People did not think that today was special, and they still did what they had to do.

The warning issued by the meteorological department was read but not taken seriously. It was just a thunderstorm, I know, I know! Don't send one after another!

Beside the Green Lake.

In a seemingly quiet house.

Feng Yi moved from the basement to the stone path in the middle of the night, but he didn't move much. He stood there in his original form, feeling the humidity of the air and the surrounding environment.

At this time, instinct is the most reliable, of course, follow instinct, and leave everything to instinct.

Feng Yi quietly sensed the surroundings, as well as the larger space outside.

Not enough.

It's not time yet.

It seems that there is still a lack of energy, and the surrounding environment is not suitable, so it needs to be accumulated for a while.

Doctor Xiao Wu stood outside the stone path and did not follow in. He said that he would not disturb Feng Yi, so he thought that standing here should also be able to observe the movements inside and achieve his goal.

Looking at the humidity display, compared with the morning, the humidity here has increased again. Moreover, the humidity near the stone path is higher than that in other places in the house.

For ordinary people, staying in such a high humidity environment for a long time will definitely feel uncomfortable, Xiao Wu can still bear it. Even if it is uncomfortable, it will only be uncomfortable for this day, and it will be fine. It's not like he stays in such an environment every day.

In the house, the housekeeper stood in front of the French window and did not go to the stone path.

The others also knew that today was a special day. It was Feng Yi's birthday and the time for Feng Yi to shed his skin.

Xiaojia and the others were decorating the hall, waiting for Feng Yi to shed his skin before celebrating his birthday.

Xiaobing packed up the ingredients, wandered over to the housekeeper, and then looked out the window.

Standing here, you can only see the scenery of the courtyard, not the stone path, let alone Feng Yi.

Xiaobing was puzzled, "You have been watching here, worried about the boss? Why don't you go to the stone path with Xiaowu?"

The housekeeper still looked out the window and smiled, "I would like to go there."

Xiaobing poured a few cups of dehumidifying tea, one for each person in the room. Just as he was about to ask why, he heard the housekeeper say, "Pour a cup for Xiaowu too."

Xiaobing wanted to say, "Xiaowu has been staying outside and has no intention of coming in for tea." But the housekeeper specifically mentioned this, so he poured another cup.

Maybe Xiaowu will come in for a cup of tea when he is thirsty outside later.

Xiao Ding tied a balloon: "Didn't they say there would be a thunderstorm today? It hasn't rained yet, and I haven't heard any thunder."

Xiao Yi also said: "It's very humid, and there should be heavy rain later."

Xiao Jia: "I just don't know when the rain will fall."

The housekeeper looked at the sky outside, walked aside, adjusted the indoor dehumidifier, and then returned to the French window again, looking at the sky outside, as if whispering to himself, and as if talking to others:

"Have you heard an ancient rumor?"

"When snakes come, rain will come."

——

In a coastal city more than 100 kilometers south of Yangcheng, in a villa facing the sea.

A dozen young people are gathering together to play and have fun. They are having a party here.

Originally, they planned to go out to sea on a yacht today. They received several warning text messages from the meteorological department early in the morning. They hesitated, but after discussion, they felt that there was no big problem.

They turned off the mobile phone positioning to avoid being monitored by others, threw the warning text messages behind their minds, and drove out on the yacht.

We were stopped by the Coast Guard just after we went out to sea.

We had no choice but to have a party here.

There were people barbecuing on the terrace outside, anyway it wasn't raining.

A few people in the house played a round of games and chatted.

"The weather station just sent another thunderstorm warning text message! Is it necessary to be so nervous? It's not the typhoon season now, it's just a little rain and a few thunders, what's the problem?"

"The weather station will definitely be nervous. It has long predicted that the climate will fluctuate in the past two years. There was a tornado in Yangcheng yesterday."

"That's a shitty tornado, it didn't even take shape! I watched the most complete video yesterday, stared at the video for 10 minutes, and it couldn't touch the ground. It was so anxious that I wanted to pull it down directly!"

"Didn't the experts say that the tornado that didn't touch the ground in Yangcheng yesterday If it is not a tornado, what is a tubular cloud? It is just a special case, and there is only one. I want to see one more. Our sea is too boring. It is the same every day. "

"Then you wait for the typhoon season. It will not be boring when the typhoon comes."

"I want it? Typhoons can be encountered every year, but tornadoes are different!"

As he was talking, the man who was half lying on the sofa with his legs crossed and swaying, the wine glass in his hand trembled, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he raised his hand and pointed out the window excitedly:

"It's coming!"

"What's coming?"

Others looked in the direction he pointed.

On the sea in the distance, under the gloomy clouds, a funnel-shaped cloud column rolled up and extended from the bottom of the clouds.

"Tornado!!!"

"It won't happen. It's just like the one in Yangcheng yesterday. It can't even touch the ground..."

Before they could say anything more, the cloud column there stretched out from the clouds like a long dragon, down to the water surface.

Moreover, it wasn't just a weak circle!

Even from a distance, they could feel the sea water there being strongly sucked up.

It was like a straw stretched from the sky, sucking water from the sea to the sky.

There was a sudden shouting in the house, and everyone rushed out with their mobile phones.

From a distance, they couldn't actually feel much wind here, and now it wasn't raining, so they held up their mobile phones to find the best shooting position.

"Oh my god! Waterspout! Dragon sucking water!!!"

"A real dragon sucking water! Isn't this better than the one in Yangcheng yesterday?!"

"The daily evaporation of seawater can no longer meet the needs of the clouds, so they just use the 'straw' to suck water?"

"Look at the momentum of pumping water into the sky, it's not a straw, it's a water pump!"

"That, next to it, is it going to roll up again..."

In the field of vision, not far from the waterspout just now, another long dragon quickly formed, winding out of the clouds and reaching the sea surface.

"Double...double tornado?"

"A spectacle! This is a spectacle!!"

"The last time I saw a double tornado on the Internet, it was taken by someone near the equator a few years ago? I never thought I would see it at my doorstep!"

"Hey, don't steal my spot, I'll post a circle of friends first and then continue to shoot!"

If it was a surprise just now, it's ecstasy now!

"Hahaha! I said I'm lucky. The tornado that didn't touch the ground in Yangcheng yesterday was nothing!"

"Wait! It seems... it's rolling up again..."

In an area some distance away from the first two waterspouts, the third waterspout also formed at a very fast speed, from the clouds down to the water.

The position where the water surface touched the tornado was torn into a rotating mist.

Immediately afterwards, two more long dragons fell one after another on the sea surface farther away!

The noisy room suddenly became quiet.

If they were "surprised" just now.

Now, it's "fear"!

The vast sea surface, the gloomy sky that seemed to be collapsing, and the waterspouts that had not yet dispersed...

Farther away, it was no longer clear, and the water mist on the sea surface blocked the view.

This is only the range they can see. Are there other waterspouts forming on the sea surface farther away that they can't see?

It was originally a humid and hot environment, but at this moment it made them feel a creepy chill.

They could even hear the sound of their upper and lower teeth knocking against each other.

This is, a dream, right? Or a nightmare!

"Is the end of the world coming again?"

"It's not the end of the world, it's the abnormal climate period! The abnormal climate period is coming again!"

"The sixth mass extinction is coming!"

"Bah! Get out of the way! What bad words! This is just... just... a small fluctuation in the climate!"

Someone took out his drone and controlled it to fly to the sea, wanting to take a close-up photo. It was swept up.

Many other people living in this coastal area saw the situation on the sea, and those who didn't see it quickly learned about it from various channels. More and more people came out to take pictures.

The news that at least five waterspouts appeared in this area quickly spread on the Internet.

There are too many explosive points. It's surprising that waterspouts appeared in March, and there were several at a time!

The first reaction of the Internet public when they saw it: "Special effects?"

When more and more videos and photos were posted online, and there were live broadcasts, it was confirmed that this was true.

[Is it so hot in the south? Is the severe convective weather so severe? Tornadoes are too frequent! ]

[Yesterday, Yangcheng appeared in a failed tornado that was grounded. Today, a waterspout appeared on the sea. I suspect someone in the south is trying to survive [dog head]]

[One straw is not enough to draw water? The water it draws can no longer satisfy it?]

[Only five? Didn’t they say that there were nine waterspouts somewhere before?]

[Where are the nine waterspouts? Please give me a video!]

[There are only five because only five waterspouts were filmed! The ones farther away could not be filmed. The sea was full of mist and could not be seen clearly from a distance! No one dared to go over there!]

[Someone flew a drone over there and got swept up too close, but there is a close-up video [link]]

[At this time, no matter how many drones fly over there, they will all be killed! Tens of thousands of dollars were swept away just like that!]

[Doomsday situation!]

[Stay calm, stay calm. Meteorological Observatory: It’s just an ordinary meteorological phenomenon]

[Ordinary meteorological phenomena should not appear at this time! It’s understandable that it appeared in July and August, but it’s only the beginning of March! It’s already rolled up! ]

[I have a question, where does the water go? ]

[Will there be fish if the water is pumped so hard? ]

[Don't just talk about fish, there are also hundreds of shrimps and crabs]

So, the serious and heavy meteorological issue was split in the middle. Some people continued to discuss it seriously, while others began to pay attention to the waterspouts that appeared on the sea surface and how many seafoods were swept up into the sky.

When the focus of online attention was on the five waterspouts that appeared on the southern sea surface, Yangcheng was already facing a dark cloud.

In a skyscraper in the city.

The upper part of the building is a hotel. A young businessman who came to Yangcheng on a business trip entered the guest room and looked outside by pulling aside the window screen.

Outside the closed large French windows, the flowing water vapor can be seen with the naked eye. If you can reach out, you can feel the clouds.

Looking further up, you can hardly see anything. It is already very close to the clouds. The weather is bad today and the obstruction is serious. If you live higher, your view will be completely blocked by the clouds.

The skyscrapers in this area were all built after the abnormal climate period. Each one is taller than the other. If it is sunny, the scenery will definitely be much better.

But it’s okay to watch the night view.

After handling a few work emails, he called his family.

"Yes, I've already checked in... I live on the 70s floor." He walked to the side and said, "I'm here to show you the misty clouds outside..."

When I opened the window screen, it was dark outside and I couldn't see anything.

? ? ?

When I took a quick look and didn't react, I thought there was some curtain that was not open.

After coming back to his senses, he found the room controller and controlled the opening and closing of the curtains. After confirming that the curtains were not the problem, he turned off all the lights in the room.

Only dim light shines into the house through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The lights had been on indoors before, and he didn't pay attention to the sky outside when he was working.

I looked at the time on my phone again, it was just after two in the afternoon.

It's already dark after two o'clock in the afternoon? ! !

outdoor.

The clouds were pressing down step by step, as if they were slowly swallowing the city.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and thunder came from the distance.

The busy city will not stop because of this. There are lights everywhere in the darkness.

The clouds flashed with electric light.

The roar of thunder was deafening.

If it were during the typhoon season, this would be a relatively common thing, but now, it feels unusual.

Coupled with yesterday's ungrounded tornado that sparked the topic and attracted attention on the Internet, it was rare that some of the attention was diverted from the stopped waterspout gathering on the Linhai side to the "black clouds overwhelming the city" in Yangcheng.

[Damn it, are there people in Yangcheng who can survive the tribulation? 】

[It is said that spring thunder can wake up hundreds of insects, but now the thunder in Yangcheng can wake up even dragons, let alone insects! 】

[Actually, if you look carefully, the wind outside is not particularly strong, it can’t be compared with the typhoon season, and there is no lightning. The clouds are so scary, I feel oppressive just looking at the photos]

[In movies, this kind of scene is usually infested by monsters [oooo]]

Under the gloomy and heavy clouds.

Inside the residence next to Green Lake.

On the stone path, the moisture gradually increased and turned into mist, covering the entire path.

Doctor Xiao Wu watched the white mist push towards him from the stone path. He originally thought that the humidity would just increase a little, just like the mist from a humidifier. But when the white water vapor comes close, breathing is blocked, and the suffocating feeling of drowning comes over!

As a last resort, he could only retreat.

Don't talk about getting closer now, your life is in danger just standing there!

If that was all, he could have brought a breathing mask for diving, but he felt an inexplicable pressure at this time, which was still increasing.

There seemed to be an invisible wall blocking the front, making it impossible to get close.

By this time, Xiao Wu also understood that he had to give up the original observation plan and return to the house for safety reasons.

Even if you are indoors, even if there is an indoor air circulation system to maintain the temperature, pressure and humidity, you can still feel the cool air flow, which makes the hair on your body stand up.

Xiaowu's movements did not escape Feng Yi's perception, or in other words, all the objects around him, living and non-living, could not escape his perception.

Not just the ground.

Feng Yi could feel that there was invisible energy shrouding the clouds, gradually forming a suitable and stable environment with the ground.

The energy stored in the body finally becomes active.

The upper body, which originally looked like a normal person, had scaly lines appearing layer by layer, from the torso upwards, arms, fingers, neck, face... until the entire upper body.

The fingertips covered with scales and the sharp claws made of bone were covered by water mist, like a cold blade lurking in the dark.

A golden stream of light that seemed to contain huge energy flashed in the gaps between the scales.

The eyes were originally covered with a blue-white film. Suddenly, a long and narrow slit opened at the pupil, like a crack caused by strong energy. With the erected pupil as the center, the covering film It gradually disintegrates, then turns into dust and disperses into the water mist around the body.

The force of disintegration continues to expand from the eyes.

It was as if a layer of aging skin was peeling off and decomposing from the body surface.

The huge snake's tail broke free from its restraints and swung in the mist.

Sky, rain finally fell. No hurry, no slowness.

The wind is strong but not violent.

The sound of thunder remained the same, as if it was about to wake up all the dormant creatures on this continent.

The seasons change, and the cycle begins again and again. No matter where you are, in the cold zone or the tropics, nature has its own rhythm.

The Waking of Insects has arrived, and recovery has begun.

Yanghe occurred and has gradually flourished since then.

His vertical pupils, which were a bit colder than usual, moved and he raised his head slightly.

The claws covered with scales swung upwards, disrupting the balanced and stable environment formed by the sky and the ground.

The gloomy and heavy clouds cracked into zigzag cracks.

The afternoon sunlight passed through the cracks and leaked down obliquely.

The rain lines are all dyed with a layer of gold.

Feng Yi stretched out his arms and stretched his body.

After shedding, my whole body feels much lighter.

The scale pattern that appeared on the upper body slowly disappeared, the active energy gradually subsided, and the sharp claws returned to a harmless state.

Feng Yi looked at his fingers that had returned to their original state, and then at his body and tail. After everything calmed down, his figure seemed to be no different from usual. But he couldn't see it completely now, so he would go upstairs and look in the mirror later to take a closer look.

The mist on the stone path had dissipated.

Feng Yi walked out of the path and out of the shelter.

There was a waterproof locker outside, where the housekeeper had placed clothes.

Feng Yi changed back to human form, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to go into the house. The people inside were still waiting to celebrate his birthday, and he could already smell the fragrance from the kitchen.

He took a few steps and suddenly stopped, and Feng Yi dodged to the side.

A palm-sized fish fell in front of him.

Feng Yi stared at the fish on the ground, and his sharp and cold eyes showed obvious confusion:

Who threw it? !

Don't you know that throwing objects from high places is a criminal offense? ! !
