Chapter 164 Recollection: Finding a Small Black Snake
He Suining pursed her lips, her pale eyes expressionless as she gazed at the chattering group of teammates before her.
Obviously.
They were exhausted and each had their own complaints.
"Shut up, all of you." Her light tone immediately silenced the room.
He Suining stood there with her arms crossed.
Seeing that they had stopped speaking, she gazed into the distance for a few seconds before speaking, "Do you think you won't be punished when you return if you fail to complete the Queen's mission?"
"..."
Everyone was a little depressed.
“We’ve been chasing the Red-tailed Scorpion for several days. It only burrowed into the desert when it had nowhere else to go. Although the desert seems vast, don’t forget, this isn’t the Red-tailed Scorpion’s natural habitat. It prefers damp and quiet environments, so like us, it can’t stay still.”
Wan Zhaoyi's mind was in a mess, not quite understanding, "Then we..."
"Wait."
at this time.
He Suining suddenly saw something not far away, which was particularly conspicuous in the desert where there was nothing else.
A dark, huddled mass.
She lifted her foot and walked towards that direction.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small snake that was almost dried out by the sun.
This small snake is only about a meter long. It is very small and thin, and should be an immature snake.
He Suining frowned, squatted down, and picked up the snake.
He placed it in her fair palm and examined it closely.
"How strange." Wan Zhaoyi walked over, squatted down with her knees bent, and looked at it. "I've never seen this kind of snake before. It's as black as ink, and it shimmers in the sunlight. It's so special."
You should know that black is the color that is most profound and deep.
It's difficult to radiate light.
But this snake has black scales.
He Suining touched it casually and found it to be extremely hard, and it also looked like a sparkling diamond.
Beautiful indeed.
"General, is it dead?" Wan Zhaoyi reached out his finger to poke it.
The snake suddenly raised its head and flicked its pink forked tongue.
"Hey."
Wan Zhaoyi stared wide-eyed in surprise, "It's not dead! General, look! Its tongue is pink and heart-shaped! How unique!"
indeed.
He Suining felt that she had already read information about various species.
But within her knowledge base.
There is indeed no such snake.
She touched the bracelet on her wrist twice, which looked like a wristband, and a screen popped up. She then took out a bottle of water and a cup.
Pour clean water into the cup.
Then put the snake in.
The water disappeared visibly very quickly, and the small black snake moved, its forked tongue flicking out even faster.
Wait until it finishes drinking the water.
He Suining then picked it up again.
I touched its forehead.
He stuffed it inside his chest armor.
Although her bracelet has a space, it is, after all, a product of society, not something from a fantasy novel, so naturally it cannot hold a living being.
It's nothing unusual.
These bracelets are considered a special product of the military; anyone who went to the battlefield had one.
"Let's go."
Soon, it was night.
Once night falls, the temperature in the desert drops sharply.
He Suining found a relatively safe place and sat down against a dry tree.
Teammates start a fire.
Let's start baking something to eat.
The little snake was quiet inside her armor, probably too tired to move.
Wan Zhaoyi sat beside her.
I looked at her mask with curiosity.
I wonder what the face under the general's mask looks like.
Everyone says that.
Perhaps the general is ugly and wears a mask to avoid gossip. But she didn't think so; the general had a calm and aloof personality, and didn't seem like the type to care about what others said.
"General."
He Suining casually took the sweet potato that she handed over and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Wan Zhaoyi did not kill the enemy.
With a cheerful personality like a girl next door, she said, "Are you planning to keep that little snake as a pet? Why don't you give it a name?"
He Suining took a bite of the sweet potato.
Her eyes and brows softened.
In the blink of an eye, his expression turned blank.
"No need."
Having a name creates a bond.
She didn't plan to keep it. "This little black snake is of unknown origin and is a peculiar species. I plan to hand it over to the professors in the biology department; perhaps they can identify it."
Wan Zhaoyi scratched his head helplessly.
I found this answer boring, but it fits the general's boring persona perfectly.
Since she met the general.
She was like a robot, interested in nothing but loyalty to the Queen.
But how can a human be like a robot?
People always have feelings.
There are things, people, or objects that you like.
It can cry and laugh.
She thought about it and realized that she had never actually seen these things on the general's face.
Wan Zhaoyi pursed her lips, "General, you were the first to find it. Even if you gave it to the professors, they would let you name it."
"is it?"
This was He Suining's first time finding a new species, so she wasn't quite sure what to do.
But she felt that Wan Zhaoyi had no reason to deceive her on such a matter.
She thought about it seriously.
Wan Zhaoyi rested her chin on her hand, looking at her expectantly.
after awhile.
He Suining pulled the little black snake out of the armor.
It flicked its tail unhappily.
She looked into its tiny eyes and said earnestly, "Little Black."
"???"
Wan Zhaoyi opened her mouth, then closed it again.
Forget it.
I don't even know what I'm expecting.
"It's fine, haha."
He Suining was quite satisfied with herself, and nodded, her lips curving upwards slightly.
She extended her slender, white fingers.
He tapped the little black snake's head.
suddenly.
With lightning speed, it suddenly raised its body.
*chuckles*
He bit He Suining's finger.
A large drop of blood, enormous to the little black snake, fell onto its head. With a hiss from He Suining, the little black snake slid down her arm and fell to the ground.
It twisted its body.
It quickly disappeared into the night.
Just before they disappeared.
The little black snake straightened its body and looked back.
He Suining's masked face was tinged with a faint sadness in the firelight.
It looked around.
It crawled away on the ground again.
Wan Zhaoyi cursed and swore.
Fortunately, it was later discovered that the snake was not poisonous. If He Suining had been in danger, the Queen would have surely executed them.
For a long time after that.
He Suining never saw that little black snake again.
until……
"Sister? Sister!"
He Suining was momentarily dazed, but was brought back to her senses by the friendly shouts. A large hand was waving in front of her.
She smiled and said, "Sorry, I was daydreaming."
Mo shook his head indifferently.
Afterwards, the two chatted about interesting things in their hometown while finishing their meal.
It was quite enjoyable.
Mo didn't seem to care much about her appearance, and he spoke very tactfully.
Well, except for calling me "sister" right away.
Maybe this person is just very kind.
