76 and 77 soon saw the first snow.

The entrance of the cave was blocked, which cut off most of the cold wind. In the cave, 76 and 77 learned from other animals and prepared a lot of things for winter.

Different from 76 and 77, there are some experimental subjects who choose to hibernate. When the temperature is getting lower and lower, they dig their caves down very deep, eat enough before the temperature drops completely, and then lie in theThey fell asleep in their comfortably bedding nests, waiting for the warmer temperatures and the arrival of spring.

Because of the cold weather, 76 and 77 don't go out very much. Most of the time, they are two snakes entwined to sleep, and when they wake up, they go out to hunt when they are hungry.

It's not just them, other experimental subjects are not very willing to go out in winter, 77 and 76 haven't seen other experimental subjects for almost half a month.

This period of time seemed extremely boring, making all the experimental subjects unanimously looking forward to the arrival of spring.

——

And the first snow came in the middle of the night.

77 woke up from his sleep when he heard the sound of the bitter wind, and the chill came in through the gap at the cave entrance. Feeling the coldness, 77 subconsciously leaned against 76. Before closing his eyes, he remembered something and lifted a corner of the fur.From the corner of the cave, he took a piece of unused fur and walked towards the entrance of the cave, trying to close the gap.

He walked to the entrance of the cave and glanced out subconsciously. The outside had been covered with a thick layer of white while he was asleep for a while, and snowflakes were brought in by the wind and landed on the tip of his nose.

77 stretched out his hand and touched his nose, only the traces of water left after the snow melted.

Curiously, he spread out his palm and placed it beside the gap, and soon another snowflake fell on his palm, and then slowly melted into water under his gaze.

77 looked at the palm seriously, a big fur blanket suddenly fell behind him, covering 77 from head to toe.

"Isn't it cold?" 76, who didn't know when he woke up, yawned and approached, stretched out his hand to wrap the blanket around 77's body tightly, without revealing a gap.

"A little bit." 77 looked back at him, "Why did you wake up?"

76 blinked: "I'll wake up when you're not here."

The two snakes leaned together and talked for a while. The two snakes, who saw snow for the first time, gradually calmed down and looked at the snow outside.

After a while, 77 leaned his head against 76's body, and then yawned.

76 noticed it when he was just moving, he turned his head and glanced at 77: "Are you sleepy?"

He covered the gap with the skin left before, and then blocked the branch at the entrance of the cave, and walked back slowly holding 77's hand: "Then go back and sleep."

——

76 and 77 soon discovered that the sub-zero temperature was very suitable for storing food, and the outdoors after the snow was no different from the cold storage of the experimental subjects.

After the snow fell, 76 and 77 prepared a lot of food at one time, all of which were buried in the snow outside the cave, and basically stayed in the cave without going out.

——

To the experimental subjects, the long and boring winter was slowly coming to an end.

For all the experimental subjects, this was the most embarrassing winter they had ever spent.

When the thick snow layer began to melt and the branches began to sprout new buds, some hibernating experimental subjects began to wake up.

They were the first batch of experimental subjects who sensed the arrival of spring. The experimental subjects who had been hungry all winter patted their stomachs and started hunting.

However, 76 and 77, who have been staying in the cave because of sufficient food, are a little belated about the arrival of spring. The temperature in early spring is still a bit cold. If there is no shortage of food, 76 and 77 prefer to lie close together.

Listening to the bird calls from outside the cave, 77 turned over to hide his ears, and 76 also stretched out a hand in cooperation and put it on his ear.

77 wrapped the blanket tightly around his body, and looked at 76: "It's still a little cold, wait until we come out again."

go."

——

But 77's thought of lying in the cave for a while was interrupted in the end.

A series of footsteps sounded outside the cave, and finally stopped at the entrance of the cave. The branches placed by 76 and 77 to keep out the wind at the entrance of the cave were shaken, and then a strange voice sounded: "Can I come in?"

76 and 77 paused and got up from the blanket, getting used to the airtight temperature under the fur. The moment they were exposed to the air, 77's tail trembled, and the remaining drowsiness completely disappeared.

The two snakes quickly reached the entrance of the cave, and the cover was removed by them, and then they quickly saw the person standing outside the cave.

He has the same appearance as the researchers, with legs on his lower body, and no animal features on his body. A straight piece of animal fur wraps his body. This outfit is very similar to 76 and 77.

Compared with 76 and 77, he is much shorter, with a boyish face, with a bit of childishness, he looks like he has just grown up.77 silently used the height of other experimental subjects as a standard, and felt that he might be about the same height as 35, so he had to look up when looking at the two snakes.

77 looked at the person in front of him. He was very similar to the researcher, but he didn't feel bad for this person. On the contrary, he instinctively wanted to get close to him.

77 bent down, and when he got close to him, he heard a familiar heartbeat.

He froze for a while, then looked at the boy who was a head shorter than himself: "I've heard your heartbeat."

77's gaze subconsciously moved to the direction of the rift where the star stone was located: "It's exactly the same as the heartbeat of the stone there."

Hearing 77's words, the boy standing in front of him nodded: "That's me."

76 and 77 looked at him for a while, and quickly accepted this statement. After all, their tails can be turned into legs, and it seems that there is nothing strange about that stone over there turning into a human.

But 77 couldn't help being a little curious, if the star stone there turned into a human, would it leave a big hole in place?

As if guessing what 76 and 77 were thinking, the strange teenager continued to explain: "The rock you know is just a part of me."

Hearing this, 77 looked at him with some doubts. According to his description, his prototype should be big, but when he became a human, he was unexpectedly short.

"The stone you see is my heart."

The boy stepped on the ground with one foot: "I am the planet under your feet."

He made a gesture: "The place where you stand under your feet is also a part of my body."

This is a bit beyond the understanding of the two snakes, 77 asked: "What is a planet?"

The young man who claimed to be a planet thought about it, and squatted down with a branch. He first drew a circle on the ground, and then drew a tree with a few simple strokes on it. The bird was next to it with simple strokes, but it can still be seen that it is 76.And 77's two human snakes, followed by 35, 33 and the images of other experimental subjects beyond the circle.

The boy clicked on the circle: "The place where you live is a big ball, which is me..."

"There are many other planets in the universe that have creatures like mine."

He said a long series of words, and when he stopped, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the faces of 76 and 77, and waited for their reply with his head up.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Seeing that 76 and 77 were silent, he asked.

"Have you been here all the time?" In the end, 77 asked his own question first.

The boy nodded: "I've been there all the time, but I just woke up now."

He listed the small earthquakes that occurred frequently some time ago, and those were the movements before he was about to wake up.

He thought of this, with a look of frustration on his face: "But it seems that I woke up a little later."

Seeing that both 76 and 77 looked at him curiously, he continued to draw on the ground with the branch just now: "When a planet is born, there is no life."

He pointed to the bare ball: "It was like this in the beginning.

For a planet to successfully evolve life, what it needs is calculated in billions of years.

But there are ways to shorten the deadline, especially since he is a self-aware planet.

"I catalyzed the process of life evolution." The boy nodded his chest, "using the energy stored in my heart."

He successfully induced the birth of the first life, and accelerated the speed of life evolution through the energy stored in the star stone.But he is still a very young planet, so after doing this, he inevitably fell into sleepiness.

"Before I fell asleep, I found a corner and hid it. Set the coordinates to change every once in a while." But I still didn't expect it, and it was discovered in the end. They took a part of his heart, and then MendleyCame back here with this part again.

Under their catalysis, experimental bodies ranging from 01 to 157 were born.

Then, some time ago, his consciousness began to wake up gradually. After waking up completely, he chose one of the directions, and then stopped at the cave entrances of 76 and 77.

After he finished speaking, the two snakes were very quiet.

After a while, 77 asked: "'Mom' took us out of the nutrition cabin, because a part of our flesh and blood body can bring value."

He looked extremely puzzled, as if he had encountered a difficult problem: "But why did you let us appear?"

77 thought about it carefully, if the person in front of him was really the planet under his feet, then he and other experimental subjects could not provide him with any value, on the contrary, they had been consuming the supplies on this planet.

The boy was still squatting on the ground, his expression was extremely serious, and when he looked at 76 and 77, there was a kindness in his eyes that didn't quite match his face.

"Not all moves need to be rewarded or have value."

"I'd be glad to see you," he said.

He thought for a while, and continued to add: "It's like when you see 76, you don't need him to do anything, as long as you see you, you will be happy."

He patted the dirt on his hands, and wanted to reach out to touch the heads of the two snakes in front of him: "A planet will have life, because the planet itself wants to give birth to life."

The boy's voice was firm: "It will feel very happy when it sees you."
