Simulation: Start with exotic animals

Chapter 247 Two Stinging Apes

If it were on Earth, the world in his previous life, Zhao Meng would definitely not do such an outrageous thing.

But this is no longer the earth. In order to find the immortal, Zhao Meng does not need to care about the opinions of the creatures in this world.

"It's just a world constructed by immortals!"

"But if we can't find any clues here, then should we contact the people in power in this world or use more radical methods?"

Zhao Meng left the woman's side, and then Lu Xiaoxi realized something:
"Zhao Meng, you misunderstood. She is not my mother, but my sister-in-law."

"She heard that I was back and made a special trip to visit me."

"My mother is dead!"

At this point, Lu Xiaoxi's mood became a little depressed. Zhao Meng could not judge whether Lu Xiaoxi's words were true or false.

After all, his identity still makes the creatures in this world very afraid.

If she wanted to hide her mother's identity, it would be difficult to find it with her own personal means.

"After all, it is a short-lived species. It may be difficult to find people from the previous generation."

"But if there are records, we can learn something."

……

Although he could not meet Lu Xiaoxi's mother, Zhao Meng still stayed here. He began to understand the stories of Lu Xiaoxi's maternal and paternal clan, and learned more about Lu Xiaoxi's life history.

Lu Xiaoxi knew that Zhao Meng was looking for the source of the aura on her body.
To be honest, she also wanted to know what the aura on her body was.

"Huh~ That's it. My life before graduating from college was so ordinary."

"The only accident was when I was visiting the zoo when I was a sophomore, and I accidentally fell into the monkey mountain. I broke several ribs and was unconscious for a while."

"But I recovered completely after that, and then I graduated and entered the workforce."

"Whoo~"

Seeing Lu Xiaoxi yawning and speaking a little confused, Zhao Meng finally stopped asking, said to have a good rest, and left the house.

Seeing Zhao Meng leave, Lu Xiaoxi just nodded, returned to her bed and fell asleep.

After all, she had trouble sleeping and eating these past few days while waiting for Zhao Meng. Even though she had undergone professional training, no amount of training could break the limits of human beings. Lu Xiaoxi was extremely tired.

Not long after Zhao Meng left, Lu Xiaoxi's father walked in and gently covered her with the quilt.

"Those old guys actually entrusted you with such a dangerous task."

"Ugh!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoxi's father's eyes flashed with determination.

……

At this time, Zhao Meng was sitting cross-legged on the mountain next to the town.

To the east of the town is a big city,

Looking from the top of the mountain, the city lights reflected the dark sky into a curtain of colorful light.

On the highway at the foot of the mountain, there are light spots moving slowly, and vehicles are still flowing on the highway at night, in a steady flow.

Such scenery always made him forget that he was on a strange planet in a strange world, and he felt as if he was back on earth.

The mountain breeze at night was slightly chilly, and the smell of damp soil passed through Zhao Meng's nose, accompanied by a sigh,

Zhao Meng slowly closed his eyes and came to the shadow space.

“It’s becoming more and more real!”

I don’t know if it’s because of the proximity to the fairy world, but the phantom has become more solid and is close to the real thing.

But it is a pity that the facial features of this human head and snake tail are still very blurry, as if there is an invisible veil, making it impossible to see clearly.

Zhao Meng glanced at the entries floating around the shadow, and then looked at the ball of light below. There was a colorful ball of light appearing there, just waiting for Zhao Meng to imitate it.

"It's almost time to simulate!"

As early as entering this galaxy, Zhao Meng had already planned to conduct a simulation.

But the things he encountered along the way interrupted his plan, and the various things he encountered in this world made it difficult for him to calm down.

It was said to be a simulation, but Zhao Meng wanted to use the simulation to calm his mood and understand the world better.

A world so similar to his previous life always made him feel like he was slowly getting lost in it.

"Hopefully, there will be some useful entries in this simulation!"

Although Zhao Meng knew that simulation was closely related to reproduction, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart that he could find an entry to break the current deadlock.

Zhao Meng's consciousness moved and triggered the colorful light group.

As Zhao Meng's consciousness fell into a trance, a strange sound suddenly came from his ears.

The sound was like a baby crying, but it was shorter and more rapid than the baby's sound. It just cried for a while and then disappeared.

"What kind of animal did I become this time?"

Just when Zhao Meng was confused, he felt a hand grabbing him, and at the same time, a text appeared in front of him:
[In the first week, you were born and you became an orangutan]

"Orangutan?"

"Gorilla!"

"A kind of monkey?"

"I became a monkey!"

After seeing the system prompt, Zhao Meng realized what he was doing.

"But why can't I see it?"

I don't know if it was a problem with the orangutan race, or if it was affected by some external factors. The newly born Zhao Meng only saw a dark scene.

He could hear the sounds around him and feel that he was lying in a plush and very warm embrace, but he couldn't see anything.

"This orangutan is not like a dog, with its eyes closed after birth!"

Zhao Meng was a little worried. He didn't understand what was going on with the orangutan. He could only hide in the arms of the mother orangutan and feed on its milk to grow up.

……

[The second week, you thrived and tried to climb, but were stopped by your mother. 】

"My worries before were overblown." Within a short time after Zhao Meng was born, he could see the scene around him.

The place he is in is a tropical rain forest,

The rainforest is full of tall trees and various vines, which is a very suitable place for animals like orangutans to survive.

"This kind of orangutan looks strange." Zhao Meng has seen many videos and pictures of monkeys and chimpanzees on the Internet before, but this is the first time he has seen an animal like an orangutan.

What is the difference between this kind of orangutan and other kinds of apes? He is not a professional zoologist, so he can only continue to live with the monkey group and observe slowly.

……

[In the first month, under the care of your mother, you gradually gained the ability to eat on your own! 】

“Finally I don’t have to continue breastfeeding!”

To be honest, Zhao Meng did not expect that the nurturing period of orangutans would be so long. You must know that among the animals he simulated before,
All mammals shorten the feeding time as much as possible so that their offspring can have the ability to eat independently as soon as possible.

In this way, the chance of survival in nature will be greatly improved.

[In the second month, you have difficulty eating independently and can only continue to rely on breast milk. 】

"Roar~ Roar~ Roar~"

"Ooh~"

Zhao Meng heard the mother orangutan's cry and had to go back to continue feeding.

The resources in the rainforest can be said to be very rich to a certain extent, but in the long process of natural evolution, various plants and animals have evolved various means of resisting being eaten in order to avoid being eaten.

In this evolution of spears and shields, the environment in the rainforest is extremely dangerous, and orangutans also need to be cautious at all times.

Even if Zhao Meng has the ability to eat independently,
But he needs to slowly learn and adapt to what he can and cannot eat. Some slightly toxic foods also require him to get probiotics from his mother to resist them.

Therefore, at two months old, he was not yet old enough to be separated from his mother.

[In the third month, you try to use tools, but your clumsiness is hilarious. 】

Zhao Meng looked at his hand, which was almost like a human, and threw the stone out of his hand helplessly. Then he glanced at the adult orangutan next to him.
At this time, the orangutan was holding a stone, placing a nut on the grooved stone slab, picking the stone bit by bit, and cracking the nut open.

After pinching the nuts, he roared twice at Zhao Meng, seeming to laugh at the little monkey's clumsy appearance.

Seeing this, Zhao Meng felt even more helpless. As a human soul, he had no trouble using tools, but his young and frail body greatly reduced his flexibility.

"I can only continue to drink milk!"

Zhao Meng returned to the mother orangutan again.

[In the fourth month, because of your growth, the female gorilla allows you to move outside a certain range of her body. 】

Zhao Meng was currently climbing up a tree branch and looking at the orangutans working below.

As a young orangutan, he was not allowed to stray too far from his mother.

A young orangutan is full of curiosity about the world, but in this dangerous tropical rainforest, curiosity often kills him.

Therefore, if Zhao Meng leaves a little distance, he will be recaptured by the female orangutan.
Even when in danger, the female orangutan will suddenly grab him and jump quickly in the forest regardless of his feelings.
Of course, compared to losing his life, the discomfort caused by this jump was nothing to Zhao Meng.

"Hoohoo!"

"Whoa whoa!"

While Zhao Meng was resting, the busy orangutan below suddenly became confused.

Zhao Meng looked down and found that two male orangutans seemed to have a dispute over a stone and then started beating each other.

Orangutans have extremely rich language expressions. Zhao Meng has only been an orangutan for three months but he can still hear a general outline.
One orangutan seems to be using something in exchange for the tool in the other's hand.

But for some reason, the other orangutan took the stone as a knocking stone and did not give it what was promised, and a conflict broke out.

Zhao Meng felt emotional after seeing this scene:

"This orangutan actually looks somewhat similar to humans."

Thinking of this, Zhao Meng suddenly thought that human social behaviorists in previous lives had been struggling with a problem.
What is the difference between humans and animals?What is so unique about humans, the creatures that stand at the top of all things?

Previously, anthropologists believed that making tools was one of the differences between humans and animals.

But with human exploration, humans have discovered some chimpanzees, bonobos, and even some monkeys in several tropical areas.
All have the ability to use and even make tools.

Some orangutans can pick out suitable rocks and bang them against other rocks to create sharp structures used to open nuts and shells.

Such behavior is similar to the Stone Age discovered by early humans.

This discovery also indirectly creates the possibility that chimpanzees can evolve into civilized creatures given enough time.

As humans further explore the natural world, they have discovered that even crows and some fish have the ability to use tools.

Therefore, tools have become an identification method to measure human standards, and have gradually been swept into history.

Later, anthropologists proposed social organization, collective behavior, and various methods to prove that humans are unique and that humans are God's chosen people and cannot evolve.

But since chimpanzees can enter the Stone Age, and can even learn to drill wood to make fire under the guidance of humans,

Many people have finally realized that in this vast universe and on that tiny blue planet, human existence may not be as sacred as humans imagined.

"Uh~ But what does this have to do with me?"

Recalling the documentaries he had watched, Zhao Meng looked at the orangutans playing below and frowned slightly.
When he came into the simulation, he could change his thoughts and not be confused by the world outside that was the same as the earth.

There is also the need to obtain some useful entries, and the more similar an orangutan is to humans, the more common entries that can be obtained from it.

"I don't know what can be obtained from this animal?"

At this moment, a majestic roar came from the trees, and a strong orangutan jumped down and stopped the fight below.

And this majestic orangutan is the direct relative of this body.
It can be said that most of the orangutans in this group are his descendants.
Those who were not his descendants would have been killed long ago.

[In the fifth month, under the protection of your mother, you have grown up vigorously, but the invasion of humans has posed a threat to your living environment. 】

The sound of "booming" sounded in the rain forest,

As a huge tree fell down, revealing its red growth rings, several human figures walked out of the forest, looking at the red tree core with satisfied smiles on their faces.

At the moment when the tree fell, Zhao Meng was being grabbed by the female orangutan and swinging quickly towards a place.
Although he is already half a year old, he still needs to live by his mother's side.
After half a year of living, he gradually discovered that the orangutan's protection of its offspring was as long as that of humans.

Half a year is almost the same as half a human year,

"Humans!" Thinking of humans, Zhao Meng stuck out his head and looked into the distance.

The sound of lumberjacks echoed in the forest. Humans were cutting down the trees in the dense forest.

This is very bad news for Zhao Meng.

"Humans have entered the simulation too!"

"This kind of thing doesn't happen often!"

"Simulations involving humans are fraught with risk, so what is this one?"

After all, in the previous simulations where humans appeared, the situation was very complicated, especially the special one.

Just when Zhao Meng was feeling worried, a roar came from the front, and a net bag fell from the sky, blocking their way.
