Chapter 229: If cockroaches and rats are fighting, who would you help?
Old Zhuo raised his head and looked at Jiang Shiyan, as if he had guessed something, and smiled helplessly.
"The tests and assessments for you young people are completely different from those for us. You are such a clever little girl. I don't know what tricks you came up with to make Yaoyao scream so miserably."
At this moment, Mr. Zhuo also realized that the familiar voice he just heard came from his grandson. Since it could make him scream like this, the content of the assessment was probably not a conventional method.
"All things have spirits. If you want to become an animal trainer, you must first learn to communicate with common animals in daily life. Overcoming your inner fear is also the first step. In the future, when you go on missions or go to the wild to collect folk songs, you may encounter things that scare you. We have two legs, but we can't outrun those four-legged animals."
Mr. Zhuo nodded in agreement.
And it wasn’t just Zhai Xingyao who screamed.
At this moment, countless snakes, insects, rats and ants appeared on the training ground. Some were trapped in a corner by a group of rats, and some people would find a small black snake crawling out of the toilet paper tube when they went to the toilet, sticking out its scarlet tongue...
One day passed.
There were originally about a hundred people who registered, but only less than sixty remained.
These tests are different from their daily training and physical tests. Everyone has animals that they are afraid of, and these small animals can accurately distinguish the emotions such as fear and terror expressed by humans. Therefore, the more afraid they are, the more actively they will approach these people.
In addition to snakes, insects, rats and ants, there are also stray cats. They will meow to guide humans to communicate with them. Although there is no common language, most of the time they can still carry out some simple communication.
However, those who have no affinity for animals at all will never be able to understand what they mean, and may even become impatient after a long time. Naturally, this group of people will not pass the test.
After the first simple test, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
night.
Tents were set up on the playground. Although it was chilly at night, everyone's equipment was enough to keep them warm.
Just when everyone was sleeping soundly, a rustling sound came to their ears.
The first person to discover the abnormality was the trainer sent by the army.
The slightest movement aroused their vigilance. When they quickly opened their eyes, they found that the surface of the tent had been covered with dense flying insects, and there seemed to be something lurking under them.
"what!!"
The screams broke the silence of the night sky.
A snake crawled into the tent and happened to meet the line of sight of the person in the tent.
The green snake made a hissing sound and stared straight at the human opposite.
Even though the man had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when facing this creature.
He gritted his teeth and slowly squatted down. While being wary of the snake that might suddenly jump towards him, he began to imitate the sound of a snake sticking out its tongue.
The snake just looked at him quietly.
Suddenly, the man quickly grabbed the snake by the vital point!
The bent snake tail relaxed instantly.
Before the man could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a chill on his neck. He seemed to have thought of something and his body suddenly straightened.
Another finger-thick little snake with red markings on its body was crawling over his neck and onto his shoulder. It tilted its head to look at this human, and its tongue gently brushed across his cheek...
"hiss~"
[Let go of my husband.]
But the man didn't understand.
The red-striped female snake looked at the human with some disdain. It crawled down the man's arm and onto the back of his hand. Then it touched the snake he was holding with its head and tilted its head to look at him again.
do you understand?
The man inexplicably saw a hint of "disdain" in the eyes of a snake.
Just when he was doubting his life, the female snake signaled to him again to let go of the green snake in her hand.
The man realized it later and quickly let go.
The female snake also climbed down from his body, and after getting close to the male snake, she actually nodded at the human, as if to say "thank you."
There was a look of confusion in the man's eyes.
He was obviously a well-trained soldier, but at this moment he inexplicably doubted his understanding. Was this snake saying "thank you" to him?
Similar situations occurred in other tents.
Jiang Shiyan and Zhuo Lao were sitting in the monitoring room observing the situation on the playground. The dense flying insects and swarms of wandering snakes gave Zhuo Lao and the researchers goose bumps all over their bodies. They couldn't imagine what the scene would be like if a slippery snake or a furry little insect drilled into their body one day?
I guess he must be crazy!
……
After one night, more than 20 people were eliminated again.
Only about thirty people who passed the first level of the test were left.
Because Jiang Shiyan was given enough power to arrange the test and assessment items, even though the contents of these tests seemed very trivial, Jiang Shiyan thought they were the most effective and simplest methods.
"There are still thirty-eight people, twenty-two of whom are women and sixteen are men."
This ratio surprised Jiang Shiyan.
Many of her female friends have pets, but most of them are cute little animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, etc. There are relatively few women who keep exotic pets such as reptiles.
According to some experimental reports and data, most of the people who go on field missions are men, while women, due to other factors such as physical conditions and psychological qualities, are more likely to work in offices and laboratories.
Therefore, most of the people sent to participate in the test and assessment this time are men.
But after one day of testing, the proportion of women passing the test was higher.
[Men are not gentle at all!]
[That’s right, it hurts so much when they catch the snake!]
[My tail is swollen from being stepped on!]
A group of small animals surrounded Jiang Shiyan and chattered and complained. Through their descriptions, Jiang Shiyan had a deeper understanding of yesterday's test situation.
The next day.
Jiang Shiyan and Zhuo Lao interviewed those who passed the first round of testing individually.
“Have you ever kept animals?”
“Why do you want to keep animals and what do you like about them?”
"If I ask you to raise cockroaches in the future, what will you do?"
"If a cockroach and a mouse are fighting, who would you help?"
"When the female snake becomes pregnant, will you help incubate the eggs?"
"..."
The questions were more tricky than the other. The staff who were taking notes were in an indescribable mood the whole day. It would be difficult for any normal person to answer the questions asked by Jiang Shiyan, right?
They suddenly understood why Jiang Shiyan was the only one who could easily learn various animal languages and communicate with them.
