The experimental subjects moved very quickly. After deciding to live farther away from other experimental subjects, they quickly chose their new residence, and then moved there with a few belongings.

76 and 77 are still living in the original cave, but their hunting area has been moved outwards as a whole.

The residences of the experimental subjects basically spread around the location of the starstone, and the caves where 76 and 77 are located have changed from the outermost part of their original activity range to the innermost part of their current hunting range.

After living more dispersedly, the accidents of car crashes during hunting basically did not happen again, but as the temperature dropped, there were indeed fewer prey moving outside.

Over time, 76 and 77 learned a lot from other predators and their prey as they hunted.

In recent days, 77 has started experimenting with tools while hunting.

The inspiration comes from a wild wolf saw after a strong wind.The wind broke a branch, forming some spikes at the break, hanging precariously from the main trunk against a layer of bark.

When this unlucky wolf passed by, the broken branch fell completely, and the broken branch went straight into the wolf's hind leg.

77, who loves to try new things, followed the wild wolf for a while, and then dragged a few branches back. After polishing the branches to a point, he began to try to attack the fancy prey by throwing them.

After all, animals living in the wild are extremely sensitive. 76 and 77, who have just left the laboratory not long ago, will occasionally be spotted by prey because they are too close.

But the branches that can be thrown from a long distance can solve this problem just right at this time, and the injured prey are always slow to run, which greatly improves their hunting success rate at this time.

After trying the sweetness, 77 began to focus on other items, and gradually began to use and try to make some simple tools,

The lower temperature every day is not very friendly to the two snakes.

A layer of dry grass spread in the cave can play a role in heat preservation to a certain extent, but as the temperature drops, it gradually becomes less useful.

77 recently came up with the idea of using the fur of his prey.

As the temperature dropped, the fluff on some prey they caught became very thick and extremely warm. After a certain feeding session, 77 left the fur on the prey and brought it back to the cave.

Untreated fur is relatively hard, and there is a smell that 77 doesn't like very much, but at least it is useful for keeping warm.

It's just that the size of the fur is limited, so the two human snakes will choose to turn their tails into legs when they are more at night, and then wrap them in the fur on the ground.

At the beginning, 77 would always subconsciously turn the lower body that had turned into a human leg back into a tail. 76 felt a gust of wind leaking under his feet. He subconsciously took a look and saw the white tail emerging from under the fur blanket.Going out, the tip of the tail swept the ground.

76 and 77 met their gazes, and 77 retracted his transformed legs again. It was already very cold in the late autumn night. His tail stretched out for a while, and his legs were already cool.

76 moved, approaching 77's somewhat cold legs, the body temperature slightly higher than 77's was transitioning from 76's body to 77's.

"Don't you like legs?" 76 probably guessed the answer.

77 nodded: "I don't like it." He used to like the resemblance to the researcher, but now it's the complete opposite. The legs that appeared after he became an adult have not yet been fully accepted.

76 can understand his thoughts very well, or in other words, he also has the same idea.

But when it comes to 77, he inexplicably hopes that 77 can accept all of himself.

76 moved his head forward, touching 77's forehead, and he whispered, "But I like it very much."

77 blinked, looking puzzled.

"Because it's 77's leg." 76 organizes the language, organizes the

Thinking about the thoughts that he has not yet figured out, he relayed to 77.

"It has nothing to do with 'mother'." 76 finally emphasized to 77 a little weakly, "It's just 77's leg."

He tried his best to let 77 understand that for himself, everything about 77 is separate from the researcher, the researcher is the researcher, and 77 is just 77.

"I like and accept everything that belongs to 77." 76 thought for a while and made a serious conclusion.

77 looked at him for a while, lightly touched 76's leg, and then repeated what 76 had just said: "I also like and can accept everything that belongs to 76."

The two snakes looked at each other, joyful emotions pervaded the chest cavity, full of it would overflow at any time, the muscles on 77's face pulled the corners of the mouth, and gently hooked up into a smile.

But the past experience made him instinctively restrain his emotions, and after realizing it, the corners of 77's mouth quickly leveled off again.

But he couldn't hide the emotion in his eyes when he looked at 76. He instinctively wanted to do something to relieve this emotion.

Clenching fingers under the fur blanket, 77 actively moved his head closer: "Can I get a kiss now?"
