Chapter 4, Day of Survival

Even if he had been with them since the first year of high school, given his aloof demeanor, it is very likely that he would still be all alone to this day

"Classmate Lin Qiye, I am the class monitor Jiang Qian. You can come to me if you need anything," said a girl with a ponytail, patting her chest.

While everyone was chattering away, a female teacher walked in holding some books. Upon seeing Lin Qiye, who was seated in the front row, she first offered a few words of comfort, then briefly introduced herself to everyone before commencing the lesson

In Lin Qiye's mind, it was as if a thunderclap had suddenly sounded, leaving him frozen in place

However, there is nothing wrong with being alone; at least Lin Qiye enjoys this feeling, undisturbed, cultivating tranquility and focusing on his studies

... ...

The components of this mist are entirely beyond human comprehension. Neither light, sound, electromagnetic waves, nor any other means of detection can penetrate this mist. No one knows whether the other countries that were swallowed up a century ago still exist behind this veil of fog

Over the course of a century, countless theories and conjectures have been proposed. Some say that this mist is actually a form of life that, after consuming 98% of the Earth, has become satiated and thus remains near the Great Xia; others suggest that the unique magnetic field at the location of Great Xia hinders the spread of the mist; and still others claim that this is the result of the five thousand years of accumulated heritage of our Great Xia, which is providing protection to this land

As expected, as soon as Lin Qiye walked through the school gate, he attracted a large wave of attention from people.

"My name is Li Yifei. If you want to go out for a meal, just call me, and I will take you there," said the man who helped him with his bag, smiling.

... ...

Just as Lin Qiye was about to say something, the class suddenly erupted in chaos

Lin Qiye was well aware that he was not the kind of person to take the initiative

one second, two seconds, three seconds ... ...

Students, please help me. My nephew has poor eyesight and a cold temperament. Please take good care of him...

Lin Qiye ascended the stairs and soon found his classroom, Class 2 of the second year. He had already spent a year in the first year at a special school, and now, after transferring, he was considered a transfer student.

He is still holding a white cane, indicating that he is a blind person

He could no longer absorb what the classmates were saying; he merely stared blankly at the classroom, and the image of the middle-aged woman with a hunched back, holding a basket of freshly boiled eggs and earnestly pleading with the classmates, involuntarily surfaced in his mind

You must be classmate Lin Qiye, right? Your seat has already been prepared, over there

Before Lin Qiye could react, several classmates had already stepped forward, carefully leading him to their respective seats. A tall boy directly took Lin Qiye's backpack and slung it over his shoulder

It seems that due to the addition of Lin Qiye, the teacher omitted the process of skimming the textbook today and directly explained the content of the book

However, in such a scenario, Lin Qiye had experienced too much. He walked through the Maple Leaf Avenue of the school, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, heading towards the teaching building.

However, that troublemaker did not appear; instead, several students took the initiative to approach him and ask if he needed assistance

"Don't say that, with a few circles of black cloth wrapped around the eyes, it actually looks quite handsome"

Many people crowded around him, greeting him warmly.

Classmate Lin Qiye, can you not see? I will take you there

One hundred years ago, the Earth was home to more than two hundred countries, distributed across seven continents and four oceans, each with its own distinct customs and cultures. Even in that era when technology was not well developed, we were still able to travel by ship to different countries and experience the collision of cultures with one another

Fifty years ago, our country's first satellite was successfully launched. From the images transmitted back from space, the entire Earth has turned gray and white, with only the Great Xia remaining a pure land

It should be this year's new first-year high school students, right

One week later, Cangnan City No. 6 Middle School

No one knows the reason, but it just stopped in such a strange manner

And I, my name is Wang Shao

The class teacher has mentioned you to us," replied the class monitor Jiang Qian, "However, what left the deepest impression on us was your aunt. That day, she stood here with a basket of eggs, handing them out to us one by one, asking us to take care of you...

The present-day Xia is akin to an isolated island on this planet, and we... perhaps are the last survivors of this planet

However, this bewildering mist came to a halt just as it was about to invade the territory of the Great Xia

However, on the day of March 9, a mysterious fog suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Antarctica, and then spread at an astonishing speed, consuming nearly 98% of the Earth's surface within just 24 hours

Hey, look, is that person from our school? Why do they have a layer of cloth over their eyes?

Lin Qiye: ... ... ?

Everyone, please turn to page 91 of the book. Today, we will discuss the history and challenges of the modern Great Xia...

It is unclear when it began, but the black ribbon has become slightly damp.

Therefore, the day the mist appeared, which is March 9th of each year, is referred to as 'Survival Day'

How is this not quite the same as the script

Amidst the crowd of people, Lin Qiye arrived at his seat in "peace".

According to experts' estimates, their chances of survival in the fog are extremely low, as this type of fog is lethal whether inhaled into the lungs or in contact with the surface of the skin

Classmate, please walk a bit slower, there are more things on the path... Hey you, quickly put your backpack away!

If one deliberately tries to make him build good relationships with others, he will instead not do so

The moment Lin Qiye walked into the classroom, the originally noisy sounds abruptly ceased, and the air suddenly fell silent

It is indeed the case that, as modern students who have undergone nine years of compulsory education, there should not be so many ignorant troublemakers. Moreover, even if there are such small groups, there is now a concept of "brotherhood"; it is acceptable to help a brother resolve issues and express one's feelings in daily life. However, if one were to actually bully a disabled person, they would be drowned in spittle the next day, leading to a complete loss of reputation and standing.

Speaking of which, Lin Qiye had already prepared himself to face those troublemakers before his arrival. After all, in many mindless and gratifying stories, such situations would surely lead to a few foolish so-called "school bullies" emerging, who would mock him with cold sarcasm, ... laying the groundwork for him to show off and slap their faces later on

I do not know

This left Lin Qiye feeling inexplicably a bit dejected

Do you know me? Lin Qiye had a somewhat strange expression.

"Aunt..." he murmured

In the past century, our country has dispatched countless well-equipped exploration teams into the mist, yet not a single person has returned

Standing at the entrance of the classroom, Lin Qiye took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and stepped inside

The towering skyscrapers built by humanity, the ancient primordial forests, the unfathomable oceans... everything is shrouded in mist, countless nations have fallen into the fog, with no news whatsoever

To be honest, this is quite different from his imagination

This child, Qi Ye, is indeed cold on the outside but warm on the inside. As long as you become familiar with him, you will definitely get along very well...

From the perspective of most film and television works as well as novels, transfer students are generally synonymous with neglect, isolation, and tragedy. After all, during the first year of high school, various small groups have already formed, and if one does not take the initiative, it is quite difficult to truly integrate into the class.

But how do blind students attend classes? It seems that our school does not have special classes, does it?

Strange, why have I never seen this before

... ...

... ...

Little girl, you are truly beautiful. My nephew is also quite handsome, you will surely like him...

Wearing our school's uniform certainly indicates that one belongs to our school

For a moment, Lin Qiye found himself somewhat bewildered
