Tech Hammer

October 15, 2021, Jiangcheng, the capital of Beihu Province, central China.

"Rumble..."

Two seconds after a series of white lights flashed, the continuous thunder was deafening.

Soon it was raining heavily.

Raindrops the size of soybeans fell from the sky mercilessly, and they would even cause faint pain when they hit people.

What's even more frightening is that it's only half past one in the afternoon, and it was sunny just now. Suddenly, a thunderstorm roars, and dark clouds cut off the sunshine, shrouding the world with a radius of dozens of kilometers in darkness like the end of the world.

Only the lightning that slides by from time to time can bring a trace of ferocious light to this world.

The campus of National Jiangcheng University was completely covered by rain in an instant.

Countless mobile phones are stretched out from dormitories, classrooms, libraries, etc., ready to capture the lightning in the sky like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Soon, the scene of Jiangcheng suddenly encountering strong convective weather spread across the country through countless WeChat Moments and Douyin short videos, causing countless ridicules and discussions.

"Which Taoist friend is going through the tribulation in Jiangcheng?"

"Oh my god, the afternoon suddenly turned into night! It's so scary!"

“I am used to being baptized by typhoons every year, but when I watch this video, I feel no fluctuation in my heart!”

"Look, there seems to be a fool running wildly in the video. Is he probably out of love?"

…

Ning Wei was running wildly on the campus road in the face of the storm.

Heavy raindrops hit his delicate face, leaving a red mark from time to time, but he didn't seem to notice it at all, and there was no trace of ripples on his face.

Yes, Ning Wei has always been a very calm and rational person.

For example, anyone who had experienced the incredible thing that just happened to him would probably be extremely excited, but he was not.

Even if he was unlucky enough to encounter the heavy rain on the way back to his dormitory after confronting the teacher, he did not show much resentment.

Of course, it may also be because he has vented the evil fire in his heart in his own way.

The situation is this.

As a member of Jiangcheng University's School of Mathematics and Statistics, Ning Wei's grades are actually quite good. At least his GPA has always been among the top ten in his class.

So naturally, he began to prepare to apply for the school's admission exemption during the winter vacation of his junior year.

After all, if you don’t continue studying mathematics, the career path is not very broad.

Unfortunately, this year the School of Mathematics and Statistics has five fewer places than in previous years, with only twenty-eight.

He was undrafted.

This is actually nothing.

If you can't get the quota for exempted students, you can just continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

However, after research, the school's leading group for exempted students allocated two more places to the college.

This time he should be sure of it.

After all, losing the selection before was just a hair’s breadth away.

However, he is still not on the list of exempted students announced by the college today.

He asked the college's research and recruitment office and got a very reasonable explanation that was unacceptable to most people.

The paper application materials he submitted were lost, so it was an invalid application, so he was missed...

The teacher apologized to him sincerely.

But he was not given a solution.

However, it cannot be said that there were no gains at all. For example, he received the teacher’s expected affirmation and encouragement.

"Ning Wei, this is a dereliction of duty on our part. I'm sorry. But to say the least, your grades are very good and your ability is very strong. If you fail to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, there will be no problem!"

Ning Wei felt that he should be moved, but he was not, so he chose to punch the teacher in the face. The unsuspecting teacher screamed "Ouch" and instantly fell to his desk. superior.

Then, Ning Wei took advantage of the chaos in the office and ran away. As soon as he went out, he was hit by the heavy rain.

It's actually quite fitting.

…

"call……"

Ning Weizheng was breathing heavily. After all, running around in a storm consumes energy very quickly.

The physical fatigue prevented him from noticing that a bright spot mixed in the rain was getting closer and closer to him, and with lightning speed, it penetrated into his chest along with several drops of rainwater at the moment he opened his mouth to breathe. In the mouth.

If an electron microscope were to track this light spot at this time, it would be found that after entering Ningwei's mouth, it quickly formed a very dense layer of polysaccharides on its surface, acting as a shield to deceive the immune system, and then plunged into the tiny blood vessels. During this time, even if he passed by the white blood cells that act as bodyguards, he was not afraid. (Note: For the source of the light spots, you can watch the extra "Dead City on Mars". It doesn't matter if you don't watch it, it will not affect your reading)

Then following the blood vessels and entering Ning Wei's brain, the light spot changed its shape again, lurking and merging until it was indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.

Ning Wei, who was unaware of this, continued to run forward.

"Rumble..."

Another huge chain lightning flashed across the sky, lighting up the gloomy world. A few seconds later, deafening thunder rushed in. At this moment, Ning Wei, who had already run forward more than ten meters, suddenly felt nothing but... There was also a roar, and then after a moment of darkness, the light began to reorganize quickly.

When the feeling came together again, Ning Wei found that he had traveled to a strange environment.

There were two railroad tracks on both sides of him in the wilderness.

To his left is a well-maintained railway track that can run normally. Several children are happily building blocks on the track with stepping stones.

On the other side is a section of abandoned railway track.

There was only a little boy sitting alone on the railway track, shouting to the opposite side: "Mom said you can't go on the railway track over there, because there will be a train passing by."

But the children on the other side of the track were completely unmoved and even laughed at the little boy: "Ha, look at that coward."

Lowering his head, Ning Wei found that his hand was holding a split rail wrench.

There are obvious signs on it. When he presses the wrench, the train will be transferred from the normal track to the abandoned track.

This track has obviously not been abandoned for a long time, and the distance is very long. There is enough braking distance, and the train can stop safely on it without any problem.

When all this information was being collected by the brain one by one, before Ning Wei could recover, a train came speeding towards him.

The driver spotted the children playing on the tracks, started emergency braking and sounded the horn.

However, the children playing on the railroad tracks were petrified at this moment, and they all stood stupidly on the railroad tracks.

Judging from the speed of the train at this time, it was absolutely impossible to stop before hitting these children.

"ah!"

The boy on the other side of the track was also stunned. He sat there and let out a scream.

At this moment, the choice was placed in Ning Wei's hands.

He could choose to do nothing.

In this way, five children on the normal track will most likely be hit and killed by the non-stop train, which also means that five families may be torn apart.

He can also choose to press the rail splitter wrench, which will cause the train to rush directly to the abandoned track.

But there was also an innocent child sitting there in terror.

In his sight, he seemed to see the driver in the train cockpit desperately waving to him, indicating that he should press the wrench quickly.

All the children's eyes finally focused on him, some were frightened, some were praying, some were desperate...

It sounds slow, but actually it all happens in an instant.

It's so fast that Ning Wei feels like he has just entered this scene, and before he has figured out what is going on, he has to face it all and make his own choice.

Press the rail splitter wrench,

Or watch tragedy happen.
