"Hey! Is it the State Grid?! Why is the power system in Ganjingzi District paralyzed?! There is a large-scale power outage there now!"
Countless repair calls came from the waterproof phone. The man in the lead wiped the rain off his face with his hands. Behind him were his colleagues who were also wearing dark army green ponchos. They were one foot deep and one foot deep at the moment. Qian walked through the water mixed with mud with his feet wearing rain boots. The four big yellow characters of State Grid were written on the back of their ponchos.
"Don't make any noise! Three cable towers were damaged by rainwater! We are repairing them!"
The hood of the man's poncho had a small hard brim to protect him from the rain, but it was of no use in the soybean-sized raindrops. His whole body had long been soaked, and he could see frequent drops under the headlight he was wearing. The raindrops even formed a line.
"Xiong Ke, what should we do? There have been large-scale power outages in three districts, and communications have not been restored."
The college student wearing glasses walking behind him communicated with him anxiously. Lao Xiong, who had been working in the power grid for more than 20 years, had never seen such a battle.
No heavy rain warning was issued at all, and the scale of the heavy rain was unprecedented. Even the typhoon natural disasters a few years ago could not compare with the size of the current heavy rain.
"Communications are naturally managed by the operators, let's deal with the immediate issues first!"
"It's impossible to repair heavy equipment in heavy rain. Let's first check the water intrusion in the underground power distribution room in front. Old Li Xiaoliu, follow me!"
Old Xiong looked at the "smoky" road in front of him that had been washed away by the heavy rain, then looked at the broken trees that were leaning here and there, and sighed inwardly. This is not a power outage that can be repaired without early warning due to heavy rain.
"This sudden heavy rain is so weird..."
The college student behind him muttered, saying what everyone present was thinking.
----------------------------------------
The date is April 28th and the time is 3:20pm.
The graduation ceremony has begun.
"Can we still open on the playground in such heavy rain?"
Following the chatter of his classmates during class, Wei Zeshu also looked out the window. The rain that started at noon showed no signs of abating at all, but became heavier and heavier.
It's not as big as usual, but the biggest Wei Zezhu has ever seen in his life. The visibility is extremely low. The dark clouds in the sky form a whole sky, which is as dark as night. The ground is frequently hit by huge raindrops, causing the overflowing water vapor to change. It turned into an extremely moist fog, and the sound of raindrops hitting the roof windows and the ground was like drums.
Not to mention the graduation ceremony, Wei Zeshu even doubted whether he could get out of school normally today because he didn't bring an umbrella.
No...it's useless even if you bring an umbrella... Wei Curcuma looked at the rain outside and shook his head slightly.
The radio suddenly rang, and there was a notification sound with poor sound quality.
"Please note that the senior high school students will attend the graduation ceremony at 3:30 in the afternoon as usual, but the venue will be changed to the east gymnasium. Each class teacher will lead the group in an orderly manner, follow the notice to enter, and bring them back in an orderly manner after the end."
The dean's voice was still Mandarin with a strong Henan accent, which sounded a bit friendly at this time.
All senior high school students go to the school gymnasium in separate classes from the corridor of the teaching building.
"Class 1 of Senior 3, Class 2 will leave first, and the students on the second floor will leave first."
The familiar commanding voice of the dean came over the radio. Wei Zeshu mixed in with the class, casually wearing a somewhat loose school uniform, and walked along the corridor along the class line.
The corridor on the east side of the teaching building is connected to the gymnasium, so there is no need to get wet in the rain. However, there is still a section of the corridor that is not fully enclosed. Only when you get here can you intuitively feel how heavy the rain is. The unique earthy smell of rain hits your face. There is also the chill brought by the cool vapor.
Wei Zeshu walked at the back of the team, watching the students in the front class go in first, but there was one girl who made him a little concerned.
"...Is there such a person in Class 1?"
Wei Zeshu's eyes narrowed slightly and he stared at a cute girl with short hair. She had semi-short hair that was a little bit longer than the shoulders, and carefully managed bangs. She had fair skin and delicate facial features, which made her most stand out from the crowd. The difference is that her expression is extremely lively and lively, as if she is full of curiosity about things that all high school seniors around her take for granted.
All in all, it feels like a heroine from a new anime series.
She seemed to notice Wei Zeshu's slightly narrowed gaze and waved her hand at him. Because her school uniform was a bit long, her fingers were not fully exposed from the cuffs. She looked even more lively and cute. The most eye-catching thing was her loose school uniform. The delicate white shirt in the collar and the eye-catching red ribbon.
By the way, he remembered that he met her on the bus this morning! She was as late as herself! But because the pain at that time was too severe, I couldn't remember it for the first time!
Wei Zeshu remembered her, but he vaguely felt that it was a bit inconsistent. Was she a student in Class 1 before?
In my memory, it seems that there is no such girl in class one...?
He pretended that it didn't matter and used his elbow to elbow the classmate at the desk next to him who had a good relationship with him.
"Brother Liu, look at the girl in the first class in front of you, the one with short hair. Do you have any impression? Is she originally a student in class one?"
"Ah? You have an impression... he looks like a transfer student? I met him in the corridor. He was quite cute."
"..."
Wei Curcuma was speechless after receiving this answer.
Maybe I am too sensitive, and I am shocked by such a small thing.
While he was thinking this, the person sitting in front of him became interested.
"What, do you like her? I know you like Japanese girls with short hair. The heroine in the comics we read before was of this type."
"That's not the heroine, that's the second heroine."
Wei Zeshu corrected him, and the latter shrugged indifferently. Anyway, his hobby was to visit Tieba and read Long Aotian's online articles, preferably the "System, start!" kind, and just read random comics.
As the first few classes arrived at the stadium one after another, the basketball hoops were pushed aside by the school staff on rollers, leaving a huge space indoors.
The dome is very high, as is the case in gymnasiums. High-wattage lighting lamps are hung on the dome to ensure indoor lighting.
The dean arranged for the senior students to go to separate classes to get plastic chairs instead of sitting in the stepped auditorium on the other side - this is reasonable. If they sit in the stepped auditorium, there are students and the podium. The distance was too far, and secondly, the terraced auditorium looked down at the rostrum. It was so inappropriate. It was as if the dean, principals and vice presidents were being watched as monkeys.
Although Wei Zeshu felt that all of their white shirts were stretched out by their big bellies, and they looked more like black and white penguins or pandas, he would not tell it and obediently set up plastic chairs with his classmates.
The waxed gymnasium was originally a basketball court. The light-colored wooden floor had a very good texture. It was used for budget basketball games held in the city before. This fact made the principal and others proud for half a month.
It was raining heavily outside, and there was an unusual basketball stadium inside. This made the senior high school students chatter and communicate curiously. Although it was a bit messy, no one was in charge before the leaders were in place. The students who had been suppressed by the college entrance examination They chatted happily with each other, after all, this was the only graduation ceremony in their lives.
Wei Zeshu listened to the sound of rain outside and the noise of students chatting indoors echoing in the high-domed gymnasium. An unusual and slight sense of excitement made him feel a little comfortable, just like when he was a child, the school organized everyone It’s like going to the movies together.
Just as he was thinking this, while setting up plastic chairs for his classmates, he saw from the corner of his eye the girl setting up stools with her classmates in the distance.
He raised his head and saw that the girl who had caught his eye before was standing in front of him.
The latter was holding a stack of red plastic stools with a smile on her face, chatting and laughing with her classmates while arranging the chairs. Her short black hair swayed actively with such movements.
His eyes narrowed slightly and he stared at the back.
Obviously her back was to Wei Curcuma, but she seemed to feel his gaze, walked over, and stretched out her hand to him.
"Hello! My name is Yu Zhiyu, the common Yu surname. I know Zhi, the fish you can eat."
Facing the other party's somewhat abrupt greeting, Wei Curcuma took a moment to react before reaching out his hand.
"Hello, my name is Wei Curcuma."
Wei Curcuma shook her hand.
For some reason, Wei Curcuma always had a strange feeling when looking at the red ribbon on her chest, as if in addition to black and white and gray, there was a strong fourth color in his world.
Could it have something to do with all this?
"Did we meet on the bus? Were you in the first class before?"
"Classmate, are you trying to strike up a conversation?"
Yu Zhiyu looked shy and covered his lips with his fingers, but did not answer his question directly.
----------------------------------------
At four o'clock in the afternoon on April 28, the opening ceremony of the graduation ceremony officially began.
Wei Zeshu took out a Casio electronic watch with only one strap left from his pocket and confirmed today's time.
【PM. 4:02】
The start time was very accurate, and the precise numbers were displayed on Casio's cold LCD screen. Knowing that there were still two hours to go, Wei Zeshu sighed and put the half of the watch back in his pocket.
Today was a rare rainstorm. The downpour made the sky dark, and the opening ceremony was forced to be moved to the gymnasium.
All the freshmen were in the gymnasium together with the principal and teachers. It was raining heavily outside, making the light look like dark night. The logistics department turned on the lights in the gymnasium as a matter of course.
The gymnasium was large enough to accommodate all the new students, and it also had a podium. Everyone stood on the waxed wooden floor and listened to the principal's long and boring opening speech.
The heavy rain outside was pouring down, hitting the ceiling of the stadium and causing an echo, just like rain hitting banana leaves.
The students in the audience have already taken their seats. Everyone is sitting on the plastic stools boredly watching each teacher speak in turn. The pot-bellied dean is arranging his appearance and smoothing his scanty hair close to his scalp.
The room only echoed with the amplified voice of the microphone, and the endless "Let me briefly say a few points." Although some students were used to such superficial engineering, the students were really made a little dizzy by the long speech. Feeling sleepy.
Wei Zeshu sat a little bored among the crowd of high school seniors, raised his head and stretched his sore neck, and moved a bit.
As he raised his gaze, he saw the high spotlights hanging on the high ceiling of the gymnasium. They projected a completely unfriendly and dazzling white light downwards. The students in front were sitting under such lights, only Wei E's head was exposed. Instead, they looked like blurry black figures facing him.
Wei Zeshu stared at the lights and listened to the echo of the raindrops in a daze for a while, feeling that today might be a good day to sleep in. Then he slowly and casually returned his gaze to the podium where the principal was still chattering.
But the next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, and all the muscles in his body tensed up for a moment.
——On the podium, a black shadow suddenly appeared.
Wei Curcuma has decided not to tell anyone else about this kind of thing, but something is wrong this time...
This thing... looks like a... giant baby?
