Chapter 1 The College Entrance Examination
The summer is hot and the college entrance examination results are released.
The 2014 college entrance examination results were no different from previous years. Liu Chang checked his score online for the first time - 519 points. In a small northern city, this is considered a score that has just passed the second line but is far less than the first line.
The results of this line are neither good nor bad, not worthy of showing off and not worthy of being laughed at. They are just as average as him.
Seeing this result, Liu Chang was neither happy nor depressed. He silently clicked the "X" in the upper right corner of the website, and then lay on the bed with his arms stretched out.
Ring ring ring…
The cell phone rang. Liu Chang's cell phone didn't even have any ringtone set. Like him, it was extremely boring.
When I turned on the phone, it was my mother calling.
"Hey, son, can't you check your scores today? I saw Xiao Wang at the door of my store and his son has already checked his scores..."
"519 points." Liu Chang directly reported the score, interrupting his mother's tirade, and then hung up the phone after saying a few words. Finally, after thinking about it, he simply turned off the phone.
July and August are the hottest months. No matter how high the air conditioner is, it can't drive away the heat in the heart. Lying on the bed and tossing and turning, Liu Chang simply got up and turned on the computer again, and skillfully opened Qvod...
I pumped the pipe at a constant speed and fired a shot that was neither far nor close. It seemed that everything brought no passion or pleasure. The days were monotonous, boring, and so dry that it could make people feel a vacuum.
He lowered his head to clean up his traces and turned off the computer. He stared at the patterns on the yellow ceiling in a daze, and then he slowly fell asleep, not knowing whether it was because he was tired or something else.
…
When Liu Chang woke up again, the sky was already slightly dark. He was woken up by someone. In summer, the days are long, and the sky was slightly dark, which meant that it was past seven o'clock.
His parents are off work.
This means that the family meeting is about to begin.
On the dinner table.
"With your scores, it's okay to go to an ordinary school, but if you only go to an ordinary second-level school, what future prospects will you have?" Obviously, Wu Hua, Liu Chang's mother, who has been paying attention to Liu Chang's studies, has known about this college entrance examination for a long time.
The score line.
"That's what your dad and I mean. We respect your opinion. Do you think it would be better for you to study in an ordinary school and do nothing for the rest of your life, or to repeat your studies for another year and get admitted to a prestigious university?"
"I want to go to any school." Liu Chang just took a bite of rice and put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.
"Think about it again." Liu Chang's father Liu Hui waved his hand, and the meeting ended in silence.
Three days later.
"You know, our family has always been democratic, and your dad and I didn't go against your wishes. We respect your choice. You know, the pressure for employment competition is high now. It's really difficult for ordinary students who graduate from ordinary schools to find a job. I
You have nothing to do with your father..."
"Tell me, do you want to study for one year and get ahead, or do you want to go to a random school?"
"I want to find a school to attend first..."
"Think about it again."
…
Two days later.
"Actually, as long as you are young, don't be afraid of failure. Who succeeds in the first try? Look at Zhao Hui in the backyard, who is five years older than you. He didn't do well in the exam in the first year, but he passed the exam in the last year of review.
It's a good university. Now that people have graduated, they don't have to worry about finding a job... So, sometimes, a solid diploma is better than anything else... If you think about it again, do you really want to study for a year to get into a good university?
, or just find a school to attend..."
"I want to go to school."
"Think about it again."
…
after one day.
"Son, sometimes you may think that your mother and I are verbose... but sometimes a choice of yours may really determine the fate of your life. Sometimes there is a thin line between heaven and hell..."
"Mom, I want to review!" Liu Chang gritted his teeth and interrupted his mother's tirade.
"Okay, this is what you said, we didn't force you!" As if he couldn't understand the meaning of his son's expression, Wu Hua finally showed a smile on his face.
"You know, our family has always been democratic, and since you have chosen your own path, you must study hard this year. In order to support your choice, your dad and I have contacted you a few days ago.
You have reviewed the school, the classes are small, not chaotic, and you can still board. We are thinking that the time you waste on going back and forth to school every day is enough to memorize many English words... So, we want you to board... And since you have chosen
Review, you can no longer be idle now. You know, some of those students who are reviewing have already started classes..."
…
The next day, Liu Chang packed his luggage, took some simple daily necessities and a change of clothes, and moved into a small boarding school called "Xingzhi".
Like all poor students, his enthusiasm for studying was completely wiped out by the hot weather three days after entering school, and he returned to his previous living habits.
Three days were enough for the boarding students to get to know each other well. After studying in the evening, Liu Chang lay on the bed in the dormitory and chatted with several students around him.
"Hey, are you all voluntary in re-study?" Liu Chang said and glanced at the other three people in the dormitory.
A man with glasses has never washed his face or brushed his teeth, let alone washed his feet. His hair is always greasy. He holds a book every day and wears highly myopic glasses. If you just look at his appearance, he looks like
A good student who studies hard, but he puts his efforts in the wrong direction. He reads well every day, but he always reads miscellaneous books. Therefore, it is obvious that he does not do it voluntarily.
"I'm definitely not. I haven't even passed the entrance exam. I want to go to a technical school or something, but my dad doesn't want to." When the man with glasses spoke, his eyes did not leave the novel.
"Hey, Glasses, what do you read every day?" The man on the upper bunk of Glasses is a fat man, who is also a fan of online novels, but he has always been very disdainful of the books that Glasses reads.
"Doomsday type."
"Here, let me take a look." The fat man reached out and snatched the book from the glasses boy. After looking at it for a few times, he curled his lips: "Fuck, it's a zombie again. I haven't been a zombie for more than ten years."
Enough fun. When you talk about the apocalypse, it’s like zombies, and you’re going to be so fucking miserable.”
The fat man cursed and returned the book to the glasses, and began his tirade.
"The game Resident Evil has been around for more than ten years now. I've been playing this theme for more than ten years and I'm still playing it without any creativity at all. Also, I don't think zombies can cause a crisis to the world at all. If
If the virus cannot spread through the air, zombies alone will not pose any threat to humans."
"He breathes heavily, walks slowly, has low intelligence, and screams 'uh~uh' all day long. I think no one will be bitten by that creature as long as they are not stupid. Think about what our ancestors faced in ancient times.
Which natural creature is more clever and more threatening than zombies? They are still alive and well."
"I'm not bragging to you. To put it bluntly, even if everyone in our school turns into zombies, I can still escape safely. Do you believe it?"
The fat man said and shook his body fat.
Seeing how arrogant he was, the last person in the dormitory finally spoke.
"Actually, the zombie genre did not originate from the Resident Evil series. There were novels about zombies in the European Middle Ages. And the modern American movie "Night of the Living Dead" in 1968 completely established the tone of the zombie series. What is fatal with a headshot?
That it's contagious, etc. were all brought up by that movie."
The last person in the dormitory spoke. He was the only good student among the four. His name was Liu Tao. I heard that he came to repeat the exam because he got a bad score in the Peking University exam. He was different from the other three. He not only studied
Well, he also has a wide range of knowledge, and from time to time, he always likes to show off the various knowledge he has mastered.
"So, the theme of zombies has been around forty or fifty years even in modern times. It's really terrible. Also, Fatty's point is good. As for low-level zombies, as long as there is no fear in their hearts, then they are infinitely close to the threat to human beings.
At zero."
"Hey, I'm asking if you came here voluntarily to repeat the class. Why did the topic go so far?" Liu Chang interrupted the "good student" and brought the topic back on track.
"Obviously, except for me, none of you in our dormitory are voluntary." The good student said another sentence to conclude.
"Well, parents these days have never had true democracy for their children. They only have fake people-friendly policies under the banner of democracy. And in my opinion, engaging in these fake democratic tricks is really not as fun as directly ****ing." Liu Chang lay on his back.
On the bed, I recalled the situation a few days ago, and then asked casually: "Zombies are really that non-threatening?"
As soon as he finished asking this question, the door to the dormitory was pushed open, and a man who looked like a teacher wearing rimless glasses walked in.
"Hey, you four, stop chatting and go to bed quickly. We have morning reading tomorrow." After saying this, he closed the door, and his last words before leaving came from the crack in the door.
Chapter completed!
