11, Chapter 11

Yang Fan woke up from the darkness and found a horse in front of him.

It looks much bigger than the horse she knows! It's simply huge!

Then she found out that it was because she was lying on the ground and watching it. When she sat up, she knew that the animal in front of her was normal.

She just woke up a little slow. After looking back and forth the place she was in a few times, she remembered where she was now.

Maybe it was because she was in the dark after she fell asleep and woke up, so when she got up this time, she could see the general outline of the surrounding environment.

This is a huge cave deep in the belly of the mountain, with a flat shape and depth. She can see the faint light at the entrance of the cave. She can't see what the other end of the cave looks like, but she can hear the sound coming from there, just like a huge mouse constantly digging the hole.

She guessed that was the Nixons who were still digging holes.

The one with her was not Nick, but a group of various animals. The horse she saw just now was actually not very similar to a horse. It had two small protrusions suspected to be horns on its forehead, and its body shape was more like a cow.

She stared at it for a long time, and the animal looked back at her purely, and then turned her head without interest.

She guessed that this was food, living food, and used to raise the food to eat in the future?

Live food is more conducive to storage and there is no risk of rot in a short period of time.

Yang Fan thought so, but he was really unsure. Before she came in, she clearly saw the pile of earth rats at the entrance of the cave, which meant that the Nixons had the same choice in food. Either the beasts around here liked earth rats very much, which was easy to catch and had strong reproductive power.

The question is that if Nixon had already caught a lot of earth rats and piled them at the entrance of the cave as storage food, why raise other animals in the cave? And will the breeding behavior be too advanced?

In addition to her, there were about a hundred other animals in the hole. She named the animal that looked like a cow and a horse, and then saw another animal that was very similar to it, but seemed to be different in some details.

The forehead on the other end will be wider and there will be a mane on the neck.

She had to name the second one, either Kuanweiniu, or they were female and male animals.

She had never seen other animals on the hillside, and there was a particularly monkey-like one that squatted there, holding a big belly, dark hair on its limbs and back.

She called it a long-haired monkey, or a big-bellied long-haired monkey.

Without exception, these animals looked very leisurely and lazy. They occasionally walked around, but rarely exceeded one range. And they were not frightened at all. On the contrary, they seemed to be in such a dark cave, surrounded by the Nixons several times more than them.

Their reaction made Yang Fan puzzled, and even forgot that he was among them.

Until Nick came back, unknowingly, even the last light disappeared.

The sun had already set, and now she could only see the shallow outline. When Nick came back, she also judged it based on her voice, and there were many other Nixons who came back with him.

Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a little nervous until Nick sat down beside her, and she immediately leaned towards him.

He brought back the food and she smelled the familiar barbecue.

He should have eaten it, and the amount of these foods was not enough for them to eat, and it seemed that they were just her portion. He fed her first and ate the meat, and she noticed that one of the large pieces were tender meats that he had left her before, with rich fat near the neck of the earth mouse.

After eating the meat, he stuffed some eggs into her mouth. The eggs were cooked and should have been made by his method. The eggs were broken and could eat a lot of eggshells. Yang Fan chewed them all. What was the eggshell? She had eaten feathers.

Then he took the water for her. When she got the water, she remembered that he also fed her some water before going to bed, which was better for her than food. She thought it was because he had recorded the types of food she often ate.

The water is hot and tastes salty and bitter. Since this is a volcano, the water may also contain sulfur and other things. Drinking this regularly will definitely be harmful to the body, but she doesn't know how to purify other substances in the water, so it is of course impossible not to drink it.

While Yang Fan was thinking, she drank all the water without wasting a drop.

After finishing her meal, Nick was about to rest. He hugged her and surrounded the two of them with his tail. Mimi had gone where she might have gone out to find something to eat, so he didn't bring it with food.

Although she had just had a sleep, Yang Fan still wanted to sleep. She leaned half on Nick, and the warm ground was underneath, and she was drowsy again.

Before she fell asleep, she felt that compared with the migration some time ago, she was already very happy and satisfied with the fact that she could have enough food and warm geothermal heat in this cave.

She found a more comfortable position on Nick and fell asleep quickly.

After waking up again, Nick was gone, only her and the animals were here. The light cast from the entrance of the cave was already daytime.

She saw Mimi lying on the back of the cow she saw yesterday, as if she was catching lice from her body. If she had been catching it before, it would have been too dirty. But now she thought this was a foraging behavior that should be respected, and she had no reason to stop it because she could not provide it with better food. Mimi found something to eat herself, and she could only let it do it freely.

She spent her free time doing small explorations around her.

In addition to these animals and her, some Nixons also pushed stones out from the depths of the cave. They used their tails to sweep countless gravels all the way to the edge of the cave, and did not take a look when passing her and these animals.

Nixons all look roughly the same as Nick, with thick tail and white hair like lions, only slightly different in height and body shape.

They walked upright, their tails were important organs, their bodies were covered with tiny pieces, and their hands and feet were covered with hideous giant claws, which were their important weapons.

Yang Fan looked at them and felt that in some myths and legends, there were such human-like monsters, such as the snowman on the snow mountain and the King Kong in the primeval forest. Some people have claimed to have seen these monsters before. They are extremely powerful, but they have similarities to humans on the outside. They seem to be able to understand people's words, but they cannot communicate.

She has always hoped that she was on Earth, or at least on a planet that is similar to the Earth's environment. For example, the daytime in this world is too long, she believes that this may be because the rotation speed of the planet is much slower than that of the Earth, such as the long season, or it may be because it revolves around the sun very slowly.

The sun is a star, but there may not be only one sun in the universe. There may be a star here that looks very similar to the sun she knows, shining and heating, having huge gravity, and attracting many asteroids to orbit it. Therefore, among these asteroids, it is not surprising that there is a natural environment and development similar to the earth.

She can call this place a solar system, and this planet a planet a Earth, and the sun on her head is a sun.

This can explain many things, including the ecological environment here that is almost the same as the earth.

The Nixons are obviously one of the highly intelligent species of this Earth-like planet. They walk upright and know how to use tool fire. The only difference is that they are not as developed as humans, or they may become another intelligent creature in hundreds of thousands of years.

Yang Fan thought about it all day long. When these ideas gradually took shape, she was both relieved and lost. She was relieved at a moment when she might be witnessing a history, and she was probably the only intelligent creature on this planet with this consciousness. Lost if Nixon really had a day of civilization, she would have to wait for hundreds of thousands of years.

Just like when she was on the hillside, when she felt it was almost afternoon, Nick came back with food, and other Nixons came back with him.

Yang Fan inevitably stood up from the ground with a feeling of excitement, which was equivalent to walking forward like a welcoming person.

Nick pulled her and sat in a corner, his tail circling them as usual. He brought her a piece of roasted meat, water in a pot of fruit, and some animal eggs and a few potatoes.

These are her food.

She was moved with the potato for a while, and then she saw two or three of the other Nixons coming to put down two pieces of meat and left.

What's going on?

Yang Fan stared at Nick. Does this represent his status in this group? Or does this represent just a kind of thanks?

Nick still feeds her the food he got first, and the Nixons took it all into his stomach. Mimi squatted beside her with anticipation, and then ran out to find food after seeing that she was hopeless.

Although Yang Fan had a little sympathy, she restrained the idea of ​​giving Mimi the food he brought back. She couldn't take risks, and she hadn't forgotten the lesson she taught last time.

When they finished their meal, they should have gone outside to bask in the sun at this time, but obviously it is not possible now.

Nick sat on his tail, looking resting, his whole body relaxed, his tail kept circling her movements. She knew what he meant, and did not leave the range his tail streaked out, and then observed the other Nixons.

The Nixons sit alone in one place to eat. They don’t communicate with other similar people, nor do they have the intention to get close to each other. Even lions and monkeys catch lice or play with each other, and the Nixons don’t seem to do this at all.

Yang Fan felt that their postures were of some kind of alertness, but those big tails did not relax for a moment.

All the Nixons did not get close to the boundary drawn by the tail of another Nixon, they kept a certain distance.

In addition to most of the individual Nixons, some Nixons also have animals around them. Including Nixons, she is next to him.

These Nixons with animals were very caring for the animals they were carrying. She saw a Nixons circling the neck of the cow with his tail and feeding it grass. He carefully fed the grass into his mouth and gently tickled it while feeding it.

Yang Fan took a deep breath, grabbed the thoughts that were about to explode and moved his gaze to the other side. Another Nixon was instigating the big-bellied and long-haired monkey to swing around with his arms. He stood there, taking turns to play with it with both arms.

She turned to Nick and slapped on him to grab his ear. His ear moved, and then he looked at her, his tail tying her tightly behind her back.

She has a crazy, terrible guess!!

First, she did not find a female Nixon among these hundreds of Nixons.

Although she used male and female monkeys to convince herself, she could not tell the male and female of a monkey. Maybe the Nixons, the species that are purchasing, are the same?

But what if the Nixons really don't have females?

She thought of what Nick did to her, and he judged her ovulation period to perform reproductive behaviors, and there were only two possible ways. Either Nick admitted that she was a Nixon female, or he deliberately regarded her as a female.

The former means that this is a mistake. But even on the prairie, male lions will not mate with female leopards, even if they are all felines. The possibility of admitting mistakes between different species is very small, because it does not happen often and under certain conditions.

The latter said that this is the original habit of the Nixons.

Second, if the first assumption holds true, the Nixons do not have females, how do they breed offspring?

Looking at the various animals in front of me, then look at Nick who took her back when she first saw her in the forest.

She came to a conclusion that was very likely, but she was reluctant to believe: the Nixons reproduced with the help of females from other species.

The Nixons eliminated females during evolution.

Perhaps in this world, the environment was once very harsh. The Nixons tried to give birth to more male cubs over the long years, in order to ensure higher survival ability to survive that time. Based on this, the Nixons' females were very weak. They might not have a single piece or a tail that can be used as a weapon or a hard claw, or they might not have none of these.

Female pups may not get more food or be abandoned at birth. Slowly, they only give birth to male pups to ensure that every child can survive healthily.

But in order to reproduce, the only singleness in the group cannot be achieved, so they try to use females from other species. At the beginning, it may be just a single behavior, or it may not be for breeding offspring, but only because of the estrus. But when this attempt was imitated by more Nixons and succeeded, this reproduction method was passed down.

This explains the most unexplainable thing she saw when she saw Nick, that is how Nick mistakenly thought of her as a female of the same race. This is why she always thought that he had more human parts.

Now prove that she was wrong before.

It was not a temporary mistake that Nick treated her as a female, but that the Nixons have always done this.

When Yang Fan was shocked by this speculation, didn't want to believe it, and was also disappointed by Nick's special and a little strange because of her, another even more terrifying idea was squeezed out of her mind.

That is that Nick has the ability to give her a baby!

No matter what she was thinking about just now, it turned into cold sweat and disappeared.

Yang Fan was stiff and away from Nick, restraining herself from jumping out of the range of his tail circle to escape. She always regarded Nick's behavior at that time as a coincidence, and she thought she didn't need to consider the consequences of that behavior. If so, she could completely forget it!

But her guess just now broke the idea that she had always thought she was safe!

She couldn't believe she would give birth to an alien!

Yang Fan squatted on the ground and shrank himself into a ball.

Her reason was comforting her loudly, trying to push the creepy speculation that had just come out of her mind.

No problem. She told herself that she could not touch her, she could do this all the time. She would not have been pregnant with a Nixonian child, nor would she have given birth to an alien in the future.
