Chapter 42
This sudden heartbeat only attracted 77 for a moment.
He was soon drawn to something else.
The actions of the experimental subjects exploring around inevitably disturbed the other small animals that originally lived here, and soon many disturbed small animals ran out from under the palms of the experimental subjects.
It was already late at night, and after the initial novelty gradually faded, sleepiness and exhaustion soon came up slowly.
No. 35 yawned, like an infection, and the other subjects also yawned one after another.
"It's time to sleep." 35 blinked.
However, at this time, there was no wall to divide the area, and the experimental subjects looked at the surrounding environment and didn't know where to go to rest.
But they also don't want to go back to the lab.
In the end, 35, who was too sleepy, waved the root system under his feet, walked towards the woods, and then dug a hole with his vines in front of a tree, and put his roots in it.
She waved her vines and looked at the other subjects: "I'll just stay here."
33 took a look, and climbed up the tree behind No. 35: "Then I'll stay here."
He said: "I'm more used to looking at 35."
The other experimental subjects also subconsciously chose to live near the experimental subject next door to them. Mermaid No. 67 chose a nearby stream, while 77 chose a tree to climb up after looking at it for a while.
77 dragged his own tail up, then stopped there and looked at 76 who hadn't come up yet, and made an invitation: "Do you want to stay in the same tree with me?"
As he spoke, he subconsciously moved aside to make room for 76.
76 naturally would not refuse his invitation, he climbed up the tree trunk, the weight of the two snakes was not light, with his movements, the tree trunk swayed together, and a sleeping bird hanging between the branches fell downLanding on the ground, he shook his head in a daze, flapped his wings and flew to another tree.
After 76 climbed up the tree, soon a tail got tangled up.
77's head also leaned over. He looked at 76 and paused for a moment, as if struggling with something. When 76 was about to ask, he leaned over and touched 76's lips lightly, then leaned against 76.The body closed the eyes.
"Good night."
——
77 was awakened by the sound of birdsong.
This was an experience that the experimental subjects had never experienced before. A few birds with white feathers and red beaks stood on the branches. They shook the morning dew on their feathers and sang to the sun rising from the east.
Most of the sunlight in the morning is blocked by the leaves, and the fine light leaks out from the branches and leaves. As the wind blows, it leaves a floating light and shadow on the skin.
It was blocked by a pair of hands before landing on 77's face.
76 woke up earlier than 77. Seeing 77 who opened his eyes, he frowned somewhat annoyedly, and patted his tail on the tree trunk. The noisy birds were startled and flew up, and quickly fell silent.He waved his wings and stayed in the air for a while, then landed skillfully again, and shouted noisily again.
76 and 77 looked at each other, the tip of their tails drooped slightly, and their tone was a little disappointed, with a hint of annoyance: "They can't be driven away."
76 originally wanted to cover 77's ears, but the early morning sunlight was still a bit glaring after passing through the leaves.However, when he stretched out his hand to block the sunlight, the noisy sounds of these birds would enter 77's ears again.
So in the end, he had to block the light for 77 with one hand, and at the same time stretched out his tail to drive away the group of noisy birds in the early morning.
After 77 woke up, he tilted his head and glanced at him. He thought for a while, and with a flick of his white tail, he quickly rolled up an unresponsive bird and brought it in front of 76.
77 grabs the bird with its tail entangled in one hand, and puts it in 76's hand.
After the companion was caught, the remaining birds flapped their wings, looked back and flew away quickly.
76 looked down at the bird that was playing dead in his hand, and 77 looked at him, the tail behind him shook slightly: "Now it's quiet."
——
A few meters away, another experimental subject looked at the two human snakes still on the tree: "Aren't you hungry?"
77 subconsciously touched his somewhat deflated stomach, and felt hungry belatedly.
The two human snakes looked down at the ground, and then they were about to go down to find some food. 76 let go of his palm, and the moment he opened his palm, the white bird slid quickly into the branches and leaves of another tree.
——
In the laboratory, they have always obtained processed food, so now after leaving the laboratory, the experimental subjects are still unable to distinguish which foods are edible.
77 watched a rabbit jump quickly in the grass, his tail lightly nodded, and his eyes were fixed on the rabbit.
However, before he could do anything, a fox flashed in front of his eyes and bit the rabbit by the throat. The rabbit's four short legs kicked vigorously in mid-air a few times, and soon stopped moving.
The fox that had successfully hunted raised his head and glanced at 76 and 77 not far away, then swaggered past them with the rabbit in his mouth.
The fox's hunting movements were too smooth, which made 77, who had no hunting experience, subconsciously think about it very simply.
The experimental subjects all had a relatively large appetite. 76 and 77 let go of the palm-sized rabbit, and set their sights on the bigger prey - a group of sheep drinking water near the stream.
The two human snakes are very clear about hiding their tracks in front of their valued prey. The nature of animals makes them instinctively try to use the surrounding environment to hide themselves.
They hid in the downwind of the flock, looked at the flock of sheep that gnawed on the turf from time to time, and selected their favorite prey inside.
77 finally selected an adult sheep, which was very fat and the size was just like 77's meal.
76 also quickly chose a target, and the two snakes continued to move forward through the bushes and waist-high grass. When they were about to approach, 77 tensed up, propped up his upper body with his tail, and met the curious eyes of several sheep.
Before 77 could figure out what to do next, the scattered sheep gathered together and quickly fled in another direction.
77 didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously followed the footsteps of the sheep and continued to move forward. After seeing 77 get up, 76 next to him followed him and chased after him.However, the flock quickly dispersed, and 77 lost his target. He looked at the white balls around him, chased it and stopped at a ground crack.
There was a long gully on the ground, which seemed to have just appeared a few days ago. The soil was wet, and there were bare grass roots at the edge.
77 recalled that there had indeed been several moderate shocks a few days ago, accompanied by the sound of being separated.
77 and 76 lowered their heads and looked down. The gully was about 100 meters high, and the sun could not reach the bottom part. There seemed to be something hidden there, which was very attractive to them.
The crack in the ground was almost vertically downwards. 77 lay down and touched the mud wall with one hand. The wet soil was easily brought down by his strength, and fell straight to the bottom..
There is no way to find a point of leverage here for them to climb down.
"Is it the same thing as the center of the hatching area?" 77 was a little curious.
He had wanted to know what was hidden in the center of the incubator before, but had never found a chance to check it out. When they left the glass room, the things there had already been taken away by Mendley.
Other experimental subjects also followed after sensing this attraction.
"Do you want to go down?" He looked down at the height, then scratched his head, "It looks a bit troublesome."
He sighed: "If it falls, it will turn into a cake."
Speaking of cakes, he thought of the meatloaf in the storage room that had been eaten a few days ago, and he licked his lips: "I'm a little hungry."
After he finished speaking, he looked down at the stomachs of 76 and 77: "Aren't you hungry?"
77's stomach growled in response to the occasion, and he straightened his body subconsciously: "I'm a little hungry."
"Have you eaten?" 77 asked him.
"Not yet." The experimental subject shook his head, frowning in distress, "Hunting seems to be a little more difficult than I imagined."
76 next to him nodded in agreement with a sullen face, and subconsciously hid his tail behind him: "It's true."
